ELEPHANT MEn.

ASstsan Explorers Say thaf IL 1s Capital
Ealing.
An African explorers speak highly Of
elephant steaks. The full grown elephant
weighs about 1000 pounds, and Mr.. New
buary estimates that he can count on some
5000 pounds Of frst-class meat from each
animal. In twenty-five years he expects
to zee elephant meat for sale in all mar
ket<-
Steaks as big as bed mattresses will hang
upen all sides, and French elephant chops
with handles ON them feet long will lie
on the counters. Elephant hides, he
! thinks, will be found valuable for leather,
slightly thick, perhaps, bat 1t can be
split. Then there is the ivory, always In
gooe demand. The clip Of wool from an
elephant will, of course he admits, be
small, but there were formerly woody ami
mails OF the elephant kind, and he does
not see why careful breeding may not re-
vive the species.
Fine all California elephants wool cloth
ing heconsiders possibility Of the future.
But II is not alone in these ways that Mr..
Newbnary expects to be able TO teach CAL
ifornia to profit by the elephant. 1t is q
powerful and intelligent animal, and as a
beast Of burden will be as successful IN
California as in India. 1t can be readily
broken to harness, and can draw enormous
loads. Nor does he despair altogether Of
the elephant as a driving animal
He thinks it not unlikely that the CAL
ifornia trotting elephant may be evolved,
as the American trotting horse has been.
Cabmen may yet call out: "Keb, sir, kebi
Nice closed keb and rapid elephant" OF
course, as a saddle beast, the elephant has
shown his superiority in the Orient. Its
gait, however, is at present irregular, but
Mr.. Newbuary sees no reason why it may
not be taught a graceful canter and a
swinging gallop. But the most practical
| place where the elephant can be put to
| immediate usefulness Mr.. Newbuary con-
s!ders to be the orange groves.
In picking oranges" says Mr.. New
buary, "the trained elephant would be a
| great success. He would come as boon
to orange growers. He could readily
reach all over the trees with his trunk and
| carefully pick the fruit and place 1t in bag
on his back. He could pick more oranges
than ten men, and would never strike for
higher wages or fiirt with the hired girl.
II were asked to name in three words the
hope OF California for the future
should answer: Elephants, elephants, ele-
plants. '"-California Times Mirror.

Several days must elapse before com
plete, returns can be received of the
result of the interesting election held
yesterday in the State of Alabama.
Those political prophets of evil who,
having nosspeciai convictions of their
own. are always expecting sudden
changes in the convictions of other
people are doc king forward to the dis
ruption and defeat of the Democratic
party in Alabama. A.A
But there is no justification for such
anticipations. The tie that binds the
people of the Southern States to the
Democratic party is one of necessity as
well as conviction. The Southern
people understand very we'll that there
Is no safety for them except in the
maintenance of party in Nthe Union
strong enough to hold in check the
disposition to Africanize the States in
which there are large black popula-
tons. Until this fear shall have been
dlspelled Alabama will continpe to
elect Democratic Governors. Legisla-
lures and representatives in Congress /:
and other Southern States will follow
in hertfack.

The extension of the Sundry Civil
appropriations for four days is poor
shift, and one that should never be
necessary; but it will save stoppage
of the wheels of government, and give
time for a solution of the Worlds Fair
problem by which Congress will be- en-
abled to pass the pending Sundry
Civil bill and go home. The Worlds
Fair item will keep till winter if need
be; the Sundry Civil appropriations,
as a whole, will not. This is the prac
teal lesson of the situation in Con
gress. FL

This is the dictum of nature. When peo-
pie refuse to listen to her voice she sends the
cholera or typhus fever or some other malady
to teach them their duty. These diseases are
the children of dirt. So is Indigestion and
dyspepsia. When the stomach and bowels
are overloaded with undigestsd food, sick
ness will follow unless this material be re-
moved. The best things in the world fol-
this purpose are the Laxative Gum Drops.
These act directly on the digestive organs,
rousing to action and thus enabling them to
eXpel all morbid and waste matter. As soon
as this is done the digestion Is assured and
the patient is restored to health. When a
powerful cathartic is taken, the reaction pro-
duces worse state of constipation than there
was at first, but with these Laxative Gum
Drops the action is gentle and pleasant and
when the desired result is produced the pa
tient is fully restored to health. All traces
of indigestion are removed. Get them of
any dealer.
