hung tightly to package of some sort

the young Arabs gathered about her and
shouted:

THE SKELETON.
BIZ August GRAY.

Mid gilded walls and stately halls
I pass the time away;
have great wealth, enjoy good health,
And many servants pay.
have a wife to share my life.
Whom servants walt upon,
And by my side doth ever hide
An unseen skeleton.
My wife's fair face doth match the grace
And beauty OF her form;
With pleasant smiles, through many miles
We've passed, of calm and storm.
Each welr-aimed stroke some barrier broke,
Each gem more friends have won.
And each success hath come to bless
Me and my skeleton.
Sometimes cry 30 God. draw nigh
And drive this lend from me-
He never leaves, but closer cleaves
And laughs exultfngly.
Oh. aching heart. It's but your part
To bear till life IS done;
VIII be free when they bury me,
From this grim skeleton!
The poor pass by, and gaze and sigh,
And wish they might exchange.
Toll on! Thank God you haze to plod,
Nor wish for guest SO strange
Canst thou find he who lived to see
A youth g and manhoods sun,
Who hath not sighed. looked back, and tried
To hide skeleton:
These words hath pain burned In my brain:
..Hold on! hold fast. hold OUT"
I'll struggle on till life is gone.
Or give the victor's shout.
Oh, God! Abide close by my side,
As thou hast ever done
Though rich. how poor! behind gold doors
Idweil with skeleton.

The Elephant'S Hide,

The tanning of elephants hides is
comparatively new industry. The
method employed is practically the
same as in the tanning OF COW hides. eS-
cept that stronger combination of the
fannie ingredients is required, and a
greater length of time, about six
months, is necessary TO perform the
work. When the hide is taken out of
the vat it is about one and one-half
inches thick. Articles made of ele-
plants hide are expensive luxuries.
A small pocketbook of elephant leath-
er, without any silver or gold ornament
alton, costs about $40. 4 small leather
satchel made of the | ,me material costs
anywhere from $50 to $500. Cigar
cases, card cases and similar articles,
vary from S25 to 500. Floor rugs are
also made out of the leather. In finish
ing the hide no attempts made to glaze
or polish it. Everything is done to pre-
serve its natural color and appearance.
1t is very enduring leather, several
years wear having hnt little effect on it.
The scarcity of elephants and the great
expense entailea in the tanning of their
hides precludes the possibility OF ele-
plant leather ever becoming q thing OF
popular and general use.

Acldity of the Stomach.
From Good Health.


This condition Is due TO germs, and
the cure lies in getting rid Of he germs.
terms of fermentation in the stomach
produce first alcohol, then carbonic
acid. and then acetlc acid. A person
troubled with this form of dyspepsia
should be careful TO take only such
articles of food as do not favor the de-
yelopment of germs, and thus starve
them out Another thing to do is to
wash the germs ont Of the stomach by
drinking freely OF hot water before
meals. Ii food is put into a stomach
already sour, of course fermentation
will be set up Immediately. Some per-
sons notice that rs soon he they eat,
their stOmachs become sour. The third
important thing to do is TO stimulate
the stomach to make more gastric juice,
which is a natural antseptic, and pre-
vents fermentation and also hastens
absorption. The glands may be stimu-
lated BY applying hot lamentations TO
the stomach for half an hour immediate
" after the close Of meal, or, easier
still, by wearing q rubber bag filled
with hot water directly over the
stomach for half an hour Heat is a
natural stimnlant, and there are no
possible ill-ettects from its Use in this

In one of the modish clubs of this city.
not long ago, a member told how he
earned his first dollar, and therenpon a
score or more of the other members
gave their narratives III the same line.
They all spoke with the utmost
frankness, and some Interesting
revelations were made. One member
had earned his first dollar by saving
wood, another by the practice of the
law. another by s'ringing tobacco,
another By the practice Of medicine,
and others by raising potatoes, by
acting as treasurer of a fund, by working

What the Dentist Has Done.
From the ST. Iouis Democrat.


Very few people realize how much the
dentist has done for mankind. To
mention one thing only, the perfection
to which the manufacture of false teeth
has been carried has practically abol'
ished old age-that is, old age in the
sense that used to know ii. You see
none of the helpless, mumbling old
men and woman that you formerly did.
This is not because people do not
attain the age their parents and
grandparents reached, but because the
dentist has prevented some OF the
most unpleasant consequences OF
advancing years. Men of 20 no Longer
either look or feel old because they
are not deprived of nourishing food at
the time when they need IT most
Estimates have been made showing
that the average length of life has been
increased from four to six years by the
general use of false teeth, and this does
not appear in the least extravagan1
when one thinks of the difference II

fine set of molars and one condemned
to gum it through his declining

Short Sermons.

No man can ever reach his best who
does not follow Jesus Christ.
The only way man can move without
help from God is downwo~d
If You DOM I've your religion nobody
will want to hear You talk much about
1t.
The only thing man really needs is
the very thing God is most anxious to
give him.
Don't have muck to say about your
self, if you want to keep clear OF hy-
pocrisy.
Grand preaching is all well enough
in it's way, but it Is the grand living
that does the most for God.
Example is more contagious than
smallpox, and there is no way Of vac
cinating against it.
Make your mistakes teach you some
thing. Moses never lost his temper in
the wilderness but once.
When the devil has chance to go
into family of boys and takes his
pick he always takes the best one.
Ri hop TAYLOR sleeps with n stone

a guilty conscience.
The best thoughts we have are those
that get into our hands and feet and
lead us to do something for others that
God is pleased with.
One reason why We have SO many
churches, is because they are crowded
with people who are trying to serve
