NEGOTIATING AN ELEPHANT.

order to carry out this object some native
Indian students are now undergoing course
OF instruction at the Paris laboratory of II.
Pasteur, and will shortly proceed to stations
in India to dispense the vaccine, which is
applied to elephants as well as to oxen and
other beasts. 1t is confidently expected that
their labors win be attended with the same
success that followed the introduction Of the

Of the total determination OF the most serious

Colored Light Trials with the Insane.


The experiments with colored lights in the
treatment Of the insane made recently at
Alessandria, Italy, are exciting attention
from the medical faculty, though gaining
little credence. In the evidence furnished by
DR.. Ponza he says: Rooms were selected
with as many windows as possible, the walls
of the room being painted the same color as
the window panes. A patient suffering from
melancholia, who would not eat, was placed
in a room with bright red walls and win
dows. In three hours he became quite cheer
full, and asked for food. Another lunatic,
who always kept his bands over his mouth to
keep out the cir and ncurishment was placed
in the same room, and the next day was
much better and ate with hearty appetite
A violent maniac was placed in blue
room, and became quiet in an hour. Ameri-
can and English medical authorities seem to
regard these cures as effects rather than
causes of the treatment, induced, they argue,
not because the light was colored, but because
it was a novel sensation, making the patients

THE MAGIC RosE BUSH.

Nature, as follows; Instead Of scattering the

Calico.

Calico.
The derivation Of the word calico is very
interesting as Of such an ancient date is its
origin. Mrs. Leonowens says in her s'Trav-
els in India" that in the year 1893, Just ten
months and two days after leaving the port
at Lisbon, Vasco de Cana landed on the
coast of Malabar at Calicut, or moro properly
Kals Rhoda, "City Of the Black Goddess"
Calicut was at that period not only a very
ancient seaport but an extensive territory,
which, stretching along the western coast Of
southern India, reached from Bombay and
the adjacent islands to Cape Comorin. It
was at an early period so famous for its
weaving and dyeing of cotton cloth
that its name became identified with
the manufactured fabric, whence the
name calico. 1t is now generally admit
ted that this ingenious art originated in
India in remote ages. and from that country
found its way to Egypt It was not until
the middle Of the seventeenth century that
calico printing was introduced into Europe.
A knowledge of the art was acquired by
some Of the servants Of the Dutch East India
company and carried to Holland, whence it
was introduced in Londen in the year 1915
It is surprising for grown up children, as
well as our young folks, to learn that "Pliny
as early as the first century mentioned in his
Natural History that there existed in Egypt
a wonderful method Of dyeing white cloth"
Calico cannot be despised when it can boast
Of such antiquity.

capt. staub,s Speech il New York.

New YoRK, September 26.---Among
the callers at Republican headquar-
tiers to-day was Capt. r. PHI. Staub,
of Baltimore, who win probably take
the stump in connecticut for the Ma
tional ticket. Capt Staub had long
talk yesterday with Col. Cassius Good
loe, of Kentucky, who has charge of
the assignment of speakers. Col.
Goodloe, it is understood, is anxious
to secure the services of Capt. Staub,
whose speeches would have peculiar
weight in the North. For thirty years
he was Democrat. He is an Exon
federate officer, and his people, who
live in West Virginia, are still Demo
Gratis.
Last night Capt. Staub attended q
meeting Of the Harrison and Morton
Protection Club of the Twenty third
Assembly District at the corner Of
Third avenue and One Hundred and
Sixth street. Although he was the
last speaker, his address was heartily
received. Capt. Staub told OF his
conversion to the Republican party
four years ago and why he had left the
Democratic party. When he so an
nounced that he was an ex-Confeder-
ate soldier, those in attendance ap-
plauded vigorously. The speaker
said that the prosperity of the country
depended in no small degree upon the
success of the protective idea. He
knew how the Democrats had carried
the elections in the South, and sug-
gested the remedy.
The appearance of an ex-O onfeder-
ate ss Republican speaker in New
York lent peculiar interest to the
meeting. When Captain Staub had
finished his address, several enthusi-
astic men came forward and shook his
hand. One more demonstrative than
the rest asked the Captain to visit his
club to-day, and talk to a gathering
of gentlemen upon the prospects of 8
change in the political conditions Of
| the South.
The engagement Of Captain Staut
by the Republican Campaign Commit
tee will give Baltimore a good repre-
sentation among the orators who are
to speak in the doubtful states in the
campaign. At present there are foul
authorized to speak for the Nationa
Committee.

The New York Tribune prints

The New York Tribune prints a
carefully prepared article, covering
over two pages, about the revolt in
New York against Cleveland and
free trade. It's special commission
ers have made personal investiga-
tions in all parts of the state, and the
results of these visits are surprising
to the Republicans and demoralizing
to the Democrats. In introducing
the subject, the Tribune says: "a
revolt of the most determined and
widespread character exists in the
the ranks of the Democracy of this
state. 1t is largely, though not en-
tirely, due to the position taken by
President Cleveland and his party on
the tariff. The detection extends
throughout the state, from Rouse's
Point to Buffalo, and from Lake
Erie to the sea. 1t is much greater,
or more pronounced, in some places
than in others, but there is scarcely
a village or township where, if there
is not open revolt of the ablest men
in the party, there is unmistakable
evidence of an intense dissatisfaction
which is likely to prove as disastrous
to the Democratic ticket in Novem-
Der as the more outspoken opposi-
ton. All along the Hudson River
and through the Mohawk Valley,
where are located SO many vast man
ufacturing districts in Washington,
Steuben and the other wool and po-
tato-growing counties; in the min
ing region of the north; in the lum-
Der districts that border on the st.
Lawrence and Lake Ontario; around
the salt wells in the central counties,
and throughout the broad farming
territory of the west and south there
is such reputation of the free trade
administration by lifelong Democrats
that in some sections it amounts to a
political revolution"
