Tough, but True.

There has been great deal of talk about the ferocity of Tip, the big ele- phant in Central park, New York. But those people who happened to be in the elephant house at three o'clock the other afternoon come to the conclusion that he was very playful. Two men in company with little girl had been feeding the big fellow lozenges Cabove all things he likes lozenges), but the stock at last gave out. Tip waited pa tiently, when at last thought struck him. He cautiously advanced his trunk and in second had removed one oi the gentlemen's hats He carefully iaid il down on the hay and waited again Peanuts were offered him, so were crackers, but not until the owner of the hat had bought more lozenges dii Tip relent, for us soon as he saw them he, with good display of grace, re- turned the hat and received a whole handful of his favorite sweets in return

BOOMING IN GEORGIA.
The Dangers of Engaging on Property Il
 That state.

That state.
 heard an amusing conversation re- gently between two property-holders ,qys a writer in the Augusta Chronicle One was speaking of improved values pf property around Augusta, when he said: "A real estate holder in Augusta is afraid to try to boom his property for fear of having his tax assessment in- creased. If man goes out on the street and makes the innocent remark that he wouldn't take twenty-five thousand dol lars for certain property mp goes the as ,essmcnt to twenty-five thousand dol lars even though he couldn't get twenty thousand dollars for it."
 The other speaker said: "One day ] had some friends at my house to dine. During the dinner was asked what my place was worth and we were all feel ing good and wanted the value of the place to sound we'll so gave some ex- travagant figure which l could never have gotten for it. One of my guests happened to be a tax assessor and, would you believe it, my assessment was increased according to my rosy hued, champagne-inspired statement" !"
 The moral seems to be either that a man had better talk poor" or else that the assessors should take something more substantial as their basis of as sessmcnt than a mans after-dinner or undertaking talk.

Belva Lockwood was the first woman to ride bicycle in Washington and she was ridiculed and jeered by the multi tude, and the regulation anathema of "unsexed woman was hurled after her by the old fogies of conservatism.

Mummy Factories.

Collectors of Egyptian antiquities Will be interested in knowing that a regular manufacturer of mummies has been discovered at Alexandria. This ingenious person, says the New York r"Nt' has been making mummies out of asses skins, prepared after a peculiar method of his own invention. After selling large numbers of alleged num- mes of the ancient things of Egypt, he thought 1t prudent to describe his wares 4> 'he remains of Egyptian high priests; "ut this dodge ultimately led to his de- 'cton. His manufactured Pharaohs nave deceived a vast number of col ''clors, and it is believed that consid- 'rable proportion of the mummies taken away from Egypt during the last few years have been spurious articles.

HIS RAMROD CUR'

 Got Another Doctor.

He Insisted on Trying 1t, So His Patient
 Got Another Doctor.
 A young doctor in Piscataquis county has covered himself with glory by in- toducing a startling and novel feature in medics says the Lewiston Journal.
 It appears that woman in that county got a fish bone far enough down in her throat to scare her into mysteries, but not far enough down to feel entirely comfortable. The aforesaid young phy- sician was nearest at hand and was summoned in hurry. He looked the patient over carefully and wisely and started for the woodshed. There was the handle of bow-whip in a corner With this in hand he made tracks for the patient. To the anxious husband he made known that he was going to come the ramrod act and shove that re- fractory bone where it properly should go.
 The man objected, and so did the woman, more enthusiastically.
 ''ln the first place. said the former, 'that handle is too large"
 "Oh, we'll fix that easily enough" |" connucnIiS prSVlctcu lne upCtori II just saw that handle off up at this fer rule"
 But even this delicate concession did not suit yhe scruples of that refractory husband I've heern tell of dun' that to COW with a turnip stuck in her gull let, but I'll be durned ef m let you try it on my wife. Guess you'll have to conjurc up some other plan, doc"
 But doc couldn't, and another phy- siciau was hunted up, who removed the bone without recourse to ramrods.

Experiences of Young Man Who Es.
 sayed to Master the Instrument.
 There Is young lawyer in this city says the New York Times, who does n little literary work outside of his nro. fession, who got himself a tvpewr;ta, as an aid to his labors, and now he says that he is on the verge of insanity. And he lays it all to the typewriter When he first sat down to the machine he says, he thought that it would be an easy thing to master it, but in , fau, moments his hands were going round in circles over it in vain attempts to find the letter that he wanted.
 That was only the beginning bou. ever' Tor taking the matter up on n scientific basis he set out to learn the exact location of all the keys. By the end of the first day every word that he heard in conversation set him to figpr- ing out where each letter would he on his key board-whether in the first row or the second, or the third, or on the left or the right of the middle line of the keyboard. And then he would try to recall what little disc he had to strike to make n per cent. mark, and what for the dollar sign, and what for quotation marks, and what for a dozen other marks, each one of which had to be made in special way.
 And at the end of two months of prac- tice, when he could strike off the words at rate that made the machine rattle and was beginning to think that ne was quite an operator, he sat down Tor little test He had friend to read to him, and for two minutes wrote with h5s pen. The result was thirty words for each minute, written very legibly. Then he tackled the type writer. The machine made great racket, and he thought that he must be making new record.
 When the second two minutes were up the precipitation was dropping from his brow. The count showed to the credit of the second test just forty words, and of them just nineteen were spelled wrongly through the striking of wrong keys, and which had to be cor. rected. A typewriter little used may be obtained at very low figure.

"a Pair of Kids"

For the benefit of those who have not
made up their minds whether they are
going to sec Ezra Kendall and his funny
"kids" pantomimo tonight it might be
well to cnlighten them to the effect that
"a Pair of Kids is neither melo-
drama, heavy drama, tragedy or
even a straight comedy, but from
grotcsquely comical, laughablc view it
is an elastic burlesque pantomimical
farce equalled by nothing in the fun
making line. 1t is n happy medium be-
tween straight comedy and a broad
farce, vehicle for the introduction of
MIR. Kendall's cleverest comical con-
ceits, and replete with singing and
dancing specialties interspersed at in
tervals to give the clever comedian a
chance to breathe and the laughers to
rest their sides. Need more be said i?
If YOU want to laugh why "here you
are" but if you don't want to laugh why
there you are"
