Feasting on Elephants Feet.

Speaking of elephants foot takes us natu- rally to the Kaffirs, where this dish is the crowning triumph of their bill of fare. Night is the time generally selected by the Kaffir for the enjoyment of this prime luxury. Other portions of the elephant are eaten with great gusto, but the feet are esteemed the delicacies of the feast. A hole is dug in the ground and fire made on the bottom. It is allowed to burn down to a heap of coals, which are scraped out by the cooks. When the oven has been freed from embers, the foot is rolled into it and covered with twigs and green leaves. After this the hot embers are replaced and roaring fire started over the heap. In this mannef the foot is baked, and when the fire has burned low the contents of the oven are lifted out by several men, and the feast opens Travellers who have feasted with the Kaflrs on occasions of this kind have paid glowing compliments to their cookery. The natives are said to love ele- phant foot next to the marrow taken from the leg bones of the giraffe or eland, but the preparation of this food does not afford the enjoyment which is associated with the dish which wa have described. - Philadelphia 1imea

It is not more tenacious monster
than malaria, whether it takes the form
of chills and fever, bilious remittent,
ague cake or dumb ague. Like the octo-
bus of the story it clasps the victim in
its tentacuIae, and folds him closer and
closer in horrible embrace. Attacked
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, how
ever, it gradually relaxes its tremendous
grip, finally abandons it, and the quon-
dam sufferer, liberated at last, rejoices
in the sense of new born freedom, en-
gendered by the restoration of complete
health. Dyspepsia, too, and constipa-
ton, those old and remorseless enemies
of the human family, give ground, and
are finally driven from the field by this
Napoleon of remedies, the greatest, the
purest in the family pharmacopeia.
Rheumatism succumbs to it, so do kid
ney troubles. The nerves, when over
strained, regain quietude and vigor by
its aid, and the ability to rest tranquility
and eat with zest are increased by it.
Resort to it in time and avoid unnec-
essary suffering.

Highland Chief
-

TNHIS celebrated stallion will make the
season of 1888 at his stable near the
mouth of crooked creek, upon the fol-
lowing terms: Ten dollars for each ser
vice. twenty dollars for the season with
no privilege of return, or thirty dollars
to insure. Persons wishing to avail
themselves of the service of this horse
should signify their intention to breed
at an early date, as he will be limited
this season tn less number of mares
than he has heretofore served in any sea-
son for the last three years. During the
season of 1887, Highland Chief became
standard, through the performance Of
his colts, and is now registered as a
standard Horse No. 1927, in Wallace
TrOtting Register. Upon information
derived from the same source it can be
asserted of Highland Chief that he is
the first Horse in West Yirginia to make
himself standard through his COLTS
This fact alone will be sufficient recon-
mendation to horsemen, and is an &C
cOmrlishment which does not require
any comment to establish the reputa-
ton of any Horse who performs It.
Mares kept at $500 per week. Accidents
and escapes at owners risk. Address
