An Elephant Burned to Death.

When Mr.. French discovered his
managerie, near Detroit, Mich, on fire
his first thought was how to save the
elephant Sultan. On opening the barn
door he was greeted by dense volume
of smoke. He CROPPED his way to Sui
tan's stall. The huge animal was per-
fectly noiseless, not having been heard
to utter the slightest groan; but when
Mr.. French reached his side, and, call
ing him by name, placed his hand on
him, the poor beast was found to be
rocking to and fro rapidly, while his
hard hide was crawling and rolling in
every direction. Sultan, while in his
stall, always had one foot chained to the
framework. Mr.. French stopped to
loosen it, At this the crazed beast
brought his trunk around with terrible
force, and Mr.. French was thrown about
twenty feet. 1t was several seconds be-
fore Mr. French could realize his posi-
ton. and then he saw that, to save his
own life, he must get out. He felt his
way around the side of the barn unit
he saw daylight through the smoke, and
with a rush soon gained the open air.
With the exception of one or two
shrieks by the hyena, and few brief,
moaning cries by the lions, not sound
was uttered by the animals during the
condagration. The theory of Paul
Schroff, the keeper of the animals, is
that they were suffocated.

been visited by a terrific thunderstorm,
accompanied by heavy rain and hail.
Reports from the farmers show that the
storm was phenomenal. One farmer had
two horses killed; another reported one of
his children killed and another crippled
by the large hail-stones, many of which
were nine inches in circumference. A

found, having fallen with the rain. They
were alive when found; there were some
catfish and some sun-fish, the former
about six inches long, the latter two.

Courier, of st. Stephen, N. b.. in referring to
the analysis of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Sage's Catarrh Remedy, re-
Gently made by Professor Chandler, of New
York, and others, says: "Nothing was dis
covered which we think Objectionable, and the
published analysis should increase, rather than
retard their sale. To us it seems little unjust
to call a man quack simply because he seeks
to reap as much pecuniary reward as other
classes OF inventors" The English press is
conservative, yet, after a careful examination
of all the evidence, it not only indorses but
recommends the Family Medicines manuiac-
tured by Dr. Pierce. No remedies ever offered
the afflicted give such perfect satisfaction as
Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery and
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

Scovill's Blood and Liver Syrup is sterling
