An Ugly Elephant

dfOf all the ugly elephants I have
known" said the trainer, ALBERT was
the worst. You could gain some idea of
his disposition by looking into his eyes.
He used to go out into the ring to carry
me in on his tusks after the act was over.
That was all it was possibh to train him
to do. One night at Nashua, N. H, as
one of the keepers was getting Albert
ready for the ring, the elephant sudden
ly turned on him and felled him to the
earth with a blow from his TRUNK. An
elephant in attacking a man curls up his
trunk and then throws it out, like one
striking straight from his shoulder.
When Albert had knocked the keeper
down, he cOiled his trunk about him,
raised him upin the air and then thrashed
the earth with him, breaking every bone
in his body.
.'When it was learned that Albert had
killed the keeper, the ring master re-
quested member of the local militia COM
PAM who were in the audience at the
time to step forward. A squad of them
were requested to appear in the morning
and shoot Albert. l could always control
him; indeed, he was perfectly docile to
me when | captured him after he had
killed the keeper and chained him up. 1
led him out on the morning of the execu-
ton and gave him some hay. Inever saw
him so docile. AS he ate his breakfast 1
chalked a circle just back of his fore leg
in the region of the heart. Then twenty
seven militiamen stood off a little dis
lance and at the word of command fired
into that circle. Five bullets pierced the
elephants heart, and he dropped dead,
making the ground tremble as he fell.
Success in handling elephants depends on
letting them know that you are boss, and
never for n moment relaxing your stern
discipline. New York Evening Sun.

"What do you think that is?" inquired
a wholesale stationer of the writer, at
the same time handing the latter a sheet
of note paper of excellent quality and the
finest finish.
"Paper, - answered the reporter. Cant
You give me something hard?"
ooh, yes; of course it's paper, but
what's it made from?''
'Linen rags"
Just what 1 thought you'd say, but
you see you don't know it all. No sir;
that paper which appears to be, and is
equal to paper manufactured from linen
rags, was in its natural state nothing but
the stems and waste of the tobacco plant.
A use has thus been discovered for thou
sands of tons of material, that has hereto
fore been practically worthless. Another
new paper making material is bamboo,
which, after being crushed to n pulp, can
be made into an excellent quality of pa
per. shouldn't be very much surprised"
added the stationer, ~ruminatively, 'to
hear that some genius had succeeded in

nrass Signs Expensive.

1t was the custom about five years ago
to have brass signs on doors, and every
merchant invested in bright sheet metal
with name and business painted in in
denied letters. You don't see 80 many of
them now, and most Of those you do see
are dingy and coated with a dirty oxidized
covering. Merchants know what these
changes in the styles are, but of all 1 am
acquainted with this has been the most
expensive. 1t is not like the sign one sets
in his door and allows to remain there
without further concern until it goes to
pieces. 1t has been a cost of $25, and
looked very attractive the first week or
SO. Then the variations of climate
proved so great that l had to have it
FURNISHED very frequently in order to
keep it in good condition. There was a
man here who used to make a business of
polishing these signs, and for So a month
he used to come around and FURNISH the
sign. This made the sign cost me over
800 before the style changed and mer-
chants began to stick porcelain letters on
their windows. Styles in signs seem to
change every three or four years. You
can observe that by making a survey Of
the business houses, some of which have
signs five, ten and fifteen years DID,

1 passed through one of the principal
thoroughfares of st. Petersburg, and OBJ
served that the upper fronts of many of
the business houses were covered with cof-
fee sacks. inquiry revealed the fact that
beneath those sacks were beautiful signs,
and the covering was to protect them from
the dust in summer time. l induced a
merchant to show me one of these signs
six by eighteen feet, partially mosaic, a
portion painting. He was a chemist, and
there were pictures of bottles of ointment
and perfumery; sick people and a doctor
to represent medicine; paint brushes and
samples of the paint; insects on animals,
to represent flea and like powders, and
pictures OF fancy articles. The sign would
be a valuabl acquisition to the Corcoran
art gallery at Washington, and must have
cost several hundred roubles even to the
cheap hands of a Russian artist.-Moscow

Speaking of the awful, jaw breaking
terms which the dermatologists or spe-
cialists in skin diseases affect, The New
York Medical Record says, these gentle
men may be a little disappointing in
their therapeutics, like the rest of the pro-
~fession, but when it comes to giving dis
eases names of real, rasping, polysyllabi~
cal stridulousness they leave other special
lists, including the author of volapuk, far
behind. DIR. Hyde has recently reported
three cases in which the patients were af-
fected with symmetrical and recurrent or
persistent tyiosis of the palmar and plan
tar surfaces, accompanied by hyperidro-
Sis, alopecia, bromidrosis, and a species of
~onychauxe, which the author supposed to
be due to the same process in the skin
which produced the callosities." The
Daily News ventures to explain that, in
ordinary parlance, these patients were
troubled with orns,-Chicago News.

Big African Enternrises.

Considerable mounts of American cap
ital are being invested in some big African
enterprises. The railroad from Delagoa
bay, the best harbor on the east coast OF
Africa, which is now completed for a dis
lance of ffty-four miles inland, was built
by an American syndicate under a con-
cession from the Portuguese government.
1t will connect with the line to be built
from Pretoria, the capital of the Trans
vaal. The largest trading company on
the Upper Congo, and the only one that
has yet sent two steamers to the upper
river, is the Sanford company, which was
organized and until recently was managed
by Americans. Considerable Belgian
capital, however, is invested in the com
pany. American engineers surveyed and
are now building the railroad from Loanda
to Ambaca, which is backed by the Portu-
guese government. Some American
money also is finding its way into quartz
crushing machinery for the new gold
fields of South Africa. -Chicago News.

The public towel is also never safe to
use, that is, the towel hat the public
wipes on. 1t not only removes the moist
ure that is its purpose to do, but 1t rubs
off scales, pieces of dead skin, lymph from
cuts and abrasions, perspiration from the
pores, mucus from the n~ostrils, pus from
sores and ulcers and n liquid that is
eNcreted from the surface of the body.
These impurities and disease germs are
retained in the meshes of the towel and
are ready to attach themselves upon sub
sequent users of the towel. A hundred or
more persons use one of the towels in a
day, and those who are among the last,
especially, run unpleasant chances of
catching some i'll or other Good House
