Stay in the Sun.

Sleepless people. and there are many
America, should court the sun. The
very worst soporiiic is laudanum. and
the very best sunshine. Therefore il
is very plain that poor sleepers should
pass as many hours Is possible 10 the
sunshine and as few As possible in the
shade. Many women are martyrs and
yet they do not know it. They shu,
the sunshine out of their houses and
their hearts, they wear wells. they carry
parasols. they do all possible To keep
off the sabtlcst and vet most potent in
fuence which is intended to give them
strength and beauty and cheerfulness.
Is it not time 10 change this. and SO get
color and roses in their pale cheeks
strength in their weak backs aud
courage in their timid souls? Tn
women of America are pale and de-
cate. they may be blooming and strong
and the sunshine will he patent H..

An Elephant Funeral.

The following letter from planter
in Ccylon mentions an extraordinary
incident-the removal of the body OF =
dead elephant by its comrades of the
herd Il went after herd OF eight
elephants, and came up with them
about p. m. After stalking | got n
chance at the one which seemed about
the biggest of the herd. and dropped it
nj the iirst shot. 1t turned out to be Il
big cow elephant. About two hours
aflerward had the tail and feet cut
off and taken to the bungalow. Next
morning | went to the spot to look at
the elephant and found her, or what
remained of her, non est.
After looking around. | saw the herd
had been around during the night and
| soon discovered track where they
seemed 10 have retired in a body.
followed th 5 up through n thick BAN
boo Jungle. and about five hundred
yards further on. | came upon the
dead elephant. lying in the bottom oi
rocky stream. judging from APP
pearances the body of the elephant
had been carried to the top of the bank,
and from there rolled into the stream.
From the tracks, it was quite evident
that the body had not been rolled but
carried to the bank and II was plain
that it had been rolled through the
managrass. which grows on the sides
of tho stream. The jungle through
which the body was brought TO the
stream was very heavy. with bamboos
growing close, and the track which the
elephants made was several yards
wide.
Some surprise was expressed at the
circums tances TO my neighborS till
showed them where the elephant had
been shot and where its tail and feet
had been cut of. and where the body
lay in the stream. which proved con
clusively that by some means or other
the body had got over the intervening
space in the night" IL is difficult tC
understand how elephants with THEN
| trunks and feet could raise and support
the dead body of comrade. However,
thew seemed To have managed TO do 1t.

the report of his sickness stupid concoc-
tions of malice disproved to the most preju-
diced by mere glance at Mr.. Blaine
What wonderful vitality the man must
have If, after he has been killed so many
times during the past year, democratic
correspondent says In talking with Mr..
Blaine one forgets all the rumors about his
ill-health," and If he is able to face ride of
thirty miles a day for several weeks in
Scotland on the outside of a coach. Win
profound gratitude Americans observe that
the imaginative yarns of mugwumps and
democrats do not damage his physical
health any more than the falsehoods from
the same source injured his political health
four years ago. He is considerably more
alive than most other Americans at all
events. Being alive and in his right mind,
he politely but firmly declines to send
another message to the republican party
when invited to do so by democratic
editor. The reason is not hard to find. He
is probably aware that he has said all that
he had any right to say respecting his un-
willingness to be candidate. To repeat
what he has said would be stale, flat and
Improbable, and Mr.. Blaine is not weak
in that direction. To go further and say
that he would not accept a nomination if
the republican party should declare 1t his
duty to accept he has no right. The World
perceives that the fact that he does
not say this one thing is of i'm
portance, especially to democrats. But
the same circumstance has appeared weighty
to many other minds, and it is generally
understood, since Mr.. Blaine's reply to
President Clevelands message, that he does
not need the services of an interviewer in
order to be heard when he has occasion to
say anything. Let us be thankful that he
is still alive and that his friends, the enemy,
are as usual doing their best to make him
stronger in the regard of genuine Ameri-
cans. "The most popular citizen of the
United States" Mr.. Curtis now pronounces
him, though persuaded that he is not to be
elected. The prophetic powers of Mr..
Curtis have sometimes erred, but his re-
markable faculty of seeing the exact truth
does not seem to have entirely deserted
him since he said at the convention four
years ago: We are confronted with the
democratic party, very hungry, and, as you
may well believe, very thirsty;
party which fell from power as a conspiracy
against human rights, and now attempts to
sneak back to power as conspiracy for
plumber and spoils."
