Yesterday, n wealthy society man, return

of liquor, slipped and fell on the sidewalk on
Austin avenue. a k~ind-hearted, but sober
friend, helped the inebriate to his feet.
"Whersh my hatl' asked the tipsy party,
oblivious to the fact that tho hat was on his
head.
"Why donsh you looksh for my losht hatf'
he continued angrily to his sober friend, who
laughed heartily. "Why donsh you looksh
for my hatl Hash shombody sthole itf'
My dear boy, your hat is
"Looksh for my hatsh, / shay. Do you hear

hand to his head and discovered the hat.
Looking very wise, the victim of Iipsomania
said:

Professor do Spotte undertook to explain

to be overcome, y said he, "was to get the

pure spirits Of ammonia, thus" and suiting
the action to the word, he poured some nm
mOnia into the basin. Now, when put my
finger in 1t, and hold that finger there for a
short time, the finger becomes pure white"

ger IN the basin, and in a few minutes it was
covered with a white precipitate.

made the application two or three times O

the distinction. In a couple of weeks | will

preparation bleaches the elephants tusks.

whiten the most discolored teeth. 1t cauter-
ICES wounds, and as for bleaching hair white,
it is wonderful. Look at these boys hands,"
and he called up two strapping fellows who
are his assistants. "When we commenced they
had hard and horny hands, covered with
black hair. Now their hands are soft and
white as a womau's and the hnir on them is
white. The sponges which We used are all as
white as snow, as you can see. For some
reason, however, 1t rots them, while it has
no such effect upon other substances"
ooh, yes, we are now prepared to take
unlimited orders for bleachsd elephants. If
any of your friends have any elephants run
ming loose which they desire to have made
white, just give them our card, and tell
them to send their orders right along. First
come, first served"
During the afternoon many scientific and
professional men dropped in to look at the
fraud, and said they were astonished at the
wonderful results obtained. As n matter Of
course, as the process is continued, the ele-
plant will become winter until the driven
snow will be as nothing to it. @AS white as

George w. Gable regrets the practical joke
played ON Mark Twain through his agency,
and vows that he will never have n hand in
another ente rprise Of the kind. Mr.. Cables
joke was arranged several weeks before April
!, and consisted of u concerted demand by
Twain's friends for his autograph. Since the
joke-a not very uproarious one at best
took place, Mr.. Gable has been thinking the
matter over, and II has occurred to him that
if, between the data the joke was agreed
upo and the LIST of ApTil-perhaps at the last
moment when too late N recall the letters
death Ind visited Mr.. Clemens house hold
there would not have been very much fun in
the thing. He is quite right. Under such
circumstances the joke would have been
turned into a very dismal affair indeed, both
for its perpetrators and the victim.

None but farmers rnised in the eastern

appreciate the saving to man and beast which
tho "all-year-roUnd" mild temperature offers
for the swear and tear" i~nseparable from his

seasons profits the agriculturist, merchant,
mechanic or business man in any pursuit is
prone to forget that the saving in doctors
bills, the health Of himself and family, the
freedom of n continuous out-of-door life are
all important factors TO be remembered. 1t

home in this state for even one or two years
