circle. First, the C5orlgus, who stood III
the centre Of the ~ m circle, roeted some
lines descriptive Of the act, and then the
chorus sang some stanzas in not altogether
the most nIelodiOus VOICES; the curtain Of
the central stage rose upon two tablegux,
the first showing the fall of our iir.t

verses explanatory of each tableau and il
was noticeable that while some of the men
had good voices and sang we'll, nearly all
of the women sang poorly and "1atted'

were singing in the open air with only the

The large house of c. Conrad & Co., 4O7
to All North Sixth street, presented beauti-
full appearance yesterday. In front of the
which attracted a great deal of attention.
This unusual display sisuilied, in addition to
the electric light, that there was something
behind 1t all, anda call within justified the
conclusion. The firm prides itself on being
the original manufacturers and proprietors
of the famous lager of the Budweser brand.
Every season 1t becomes necessary for the
firm to make additional Improvements in
their spacious building in order to maintain
the lead in the sale Of Budweiser and accom-
modate with characteristic promptness their
increasing patronage. The entire establish.
ment has been overhauled, additions made,
ard the latest practical appliances introduced
for the sole purpose of facilitating the hand
ling of the popular drink in any quantity to
suit the purchaser. Although Budweiser is
one of the most desirable drinks os the sea-
son, and the depot Of @. Conrad & Co. is the
place to get it without adulteration, yet other
liquids extracted from material equally MS
pure may be found there also. The firm is
the sole representative of Kelly's Island
wine, which Il whoesales and retails, together
with full list of other liquors AMI wines to
be found in the catalogue of the largest deal
ers. The public was properly introduced to
the tempting refreshments yesterday, and
gave the occasion "send-off' that will fur
nish an impetus in the trade that will con-
tinue undated until another enterprising
move is madeto set the business still another
peg ahead of all competitors.

great exertions, he contrived 70 reach
the vantage ground before the shrill
whistle OF the advancing train was
heard.
1t was on a down grade here, which
increased the peril of the situation; and
Johnny stood there, the scarlet com.
forter flutteriag above his head, as il he
were little statue, cut in ebony, sharply
outlined against the bright western SKY
where the sun was hanging, a great
globe of gold, above the black clouds.
"Now, If the engineer only sees me!'
thought Johnny, his little heart beating
like Il rip hammer, as he could hear
above the rush Of the wind and the
creaking Of the tree boughs, the hoarse
whistle of the train as ii rushed onward
through the deep gorge beyond.
And the engireer did see him. Small
as was Johnny, and Insignificant rs was
his ensign of danger, the snow crested
hill and the orange sunset made So
strong a background for him that they
instantly perceived that something was
wrong, and whistled the signal for
"down brakes"
And the lives of the passengers were
saved, and all through the courage and
presence of mind of boy twelve year,
old.
Children, this is true story. 1t is q
thing that really happened. And you
will be glad tn hear that one of the Off.
GERS of the railroad company had Johnny
appointed to good place at the nearest
station, where it was his duty to signal
every approaching train with a flag.
"For" said the gentleman, 81 feel sure
can trust such lad as that"
And little Willie got well, and Johnny
dates all his good luck from that walk
down the mountain side, when the
March winds were raging in the forests,
and the crows nest crashed furiously
across the iron lines of the railroad
track.

The Elephant.

The sagacious elephant has a well for
tilted thinking apparatus. Mr.. Horna-
day, an elephant hunter, said in a lee
ture at Rochester, "An elephant to be
killed by the first ball must be shot
through the brain. But ii is no easy
matter to reach this in the elephant, as
it is surrounded by an enormously large
skull, and is very small in proportion to
the rest of the body. The skull is so
large in order TO give surface for the at
tacnment OF the muscles of the trunk, of
which there are about 10000, Tne skull
is moreover composed of two walls, and
between these are connected long cells.
The brain being thus protected, it is
extremely difficult to reach, and ele-
plants are often fired into as often as
fifty or sixty times before being brought
down. The range of vision IN the ele-
phant is limited, his hearing is pot good,
his powers of smelling are poor, SO that
it is an easy matter to stalk him. The
elephant has four vulnerable points:
these are the temple, the ear and eye,
and the center Of the forehead"
