The DcaiN of Lnnho.

The story told by Scott, the keeper
who went to America with Jumbo, of
the elephants death is sad The animals
were being loaded while the circus was
performing, and Scott was walking
Jumbo along the railroad between two
rows of trucks
There was another elephant with them
"a dwarf elephant bought in Singapore
in 1888 to be clown elephant" Jumbo
would not go anywhere without him.
On this occasion the small elephant was
going in front, and when the train came
round the curve Jumbo caught hold of
his chum and pushed him between two
freight trucks. This saved the small
one, Who only got his leg broken. but
Jumbo was badly cut up by the heavy
locomotive and died about an hour after.

as the two bodies became indistinct,
we could see the clinging figure on the
pole lift her up to his side and draw
her close to him.
Then we turned to Dane. He Law
like one stunned ut the door of the
tent, gazing at the rolling and tossing
balloon. AS we looked at him con-
fession seemed wrenched out of his
very soul, and he gasped: 1.-THE para
chute won't spreadw
Then l knew it all, and trembled
with reproach that did not better
understand what was likely to come.
Danes jealousy had nearly killed the
boy two days before. and now meant
to complete the work. The dove
trainer thinking Danes fall would
simply send the balloon higher, had
given herself as a ballast, and would
share the young rivals fate.
Higher and higher in the clear air
went the balloon. the smoke rolling out
of its open lower end. The clinging
figures on the crossbar were merged
into one. First ordering Dane watched,
the doorkeeper and myself mounted
horses and followed us fast as we
could the course of the aerialists.
Soon it was evident that the strength
of the heated air was exhausted, for
the balloon and its passengers began to
descend. That its speed was rapid was
also evident, for the weight was greater
than was intended for it at that stage
of the proceedings.
Suddenly there was separation.
The rope connecting parachute and bal
loon had been severed, and the pair
would trust themselves to the big nm
brella. But the umbrella, as Dane had
said, would not work. The great ribs
refused to expand, and like shot from

pants were dragged downward.

half-mile further on upon the prairie.
Amidst it all lay two still forms closely
locked in each others arms. Martin
lifted his daughters face. No need to
ask if there was hope. The pretty
features were pale, but the dark lashes
lifted, and the eyes looked at us in that
trustfulness of childhood that comes to
older hearts in times of peril. Her COM
panion had tainted away, and she socn
followed him.
We hurried them back to the tent.
and laid their bespangled forms on the
ground. 1t was hours before they
regained compile te consciousness, but
there were no homes broken. The
canvas had fallen under them and
eased the blow.

The youth groaned, and could see a

and whispered something in his ear.

he clinched his heavy fists tighter. In
moment the consultation was over

She was dressed in half circus cos

Then the "Ringold Brothers" ap-

younger did not entirely conceal their
pallor.

was the sight out on the plains, that of
the hundreds present not half score
saw three events that happened around
them almost in an instant.
As the balloon lifted the parachute
and trapeze from the earth some ten
feet, Dane let go his hold on the bar,
and fell to the ground. The rising
mass gave lurch, and leaped faster
upward. Already the long trail rope
had but few feet yet lying on the sun

The bane of the American drama is
the cheap theater; and if my protest
can be heard, and, being heard, be
deemed rightful protest all men will
stay away from it, henceforth forever.
1t counts for nothing that you can sit
downstairs for fifty cents One would
rather eat a delicious dinner in a
kitchen than masticate a vile mixture
in palace. Therefore it is better to
sit upstairs and see an actor attempt
good things than sit downstairs and see
him succeed in doing bad. The success
of the cheap theater means the extinc-
ton of the gallery patronage. They
are nearly gone now, those faces all
aglow, those shirt-sleeved arms, those
thunderous bursts of rapturous APP
plause and the familiar, earnest word
of encouragement: who so quick to
recognize the actors finest points, who
SO quick to laugh, so quick to weep, and
who first spread the news of some great
moment in an actors life? They are
gone now. those honest faces; we look
for them in vain The practical loss
lies in the fact that in these days of
heavy eX penses the actor manager must
find his house all over full if he is to
earn a profit -Richard Mansfield, in

That phrenology is most attrac tive

believe in it or not, and so far as the
phrenologist himself is concerned the

A leading phrenologist was seen re-

phrenology, unlike the law of medicine
| Is one of the few professions which is

large, are ample and comparatively fire.
quent But let It be clearly understood
that not all who enter the field of pro-
fessional phrenology will necessarily
meet with success.
1t is science as yet comparatively
new, and the time has not yet come for
it to be universally accepted as guide
for the future
The fees of the phrenologist range
from IS cents to $40. For the first named
sum the patient gets in few words a
description of the qualities which he
possesses, and perhaps hint or two
about the work of life in which he would
be most likely to succeed. For $40 the
statement is written out, and is in
tended as guide which shall pilot its
possessor through life.
The conscientious phrenologist must
have good deal of moral courage and
n pretty thick skin, for IL he talks as his
observation teaches he is obliged to tell
some unpleasant truths, which the pa
TENTS promptly resent. II he tells them
that they are cowardly and weak and
selfish, they don't like it at all, but il
they demonstrate he is obliged to tell
them as simply as possible the reason of
his decision.
The people who visit the phrenologist
very often have very queer ideas of the

The great prevalence of tuberculosis

Gently prominence to the fact that goats
milk is not subject to tuberculosis, and
hence the danger attending the use of
cows milk does not exist when goats

many accounts prefera BILE to that. NJ
