Spring Troubles.

Farmers and all other persons who
are exposed to the weather in 0ut-Of-
door pursuits have cause to dread this
season Of the year. They work md
overhead themselves, and then, be-
coming suddenly chilled, they CON-
tract a cold which settles in their
back. This is the experience Of a great
many people. The result is rhcuma-
tism, or pneumonia, or pleurisy. The
real reason is that the cold has af-
fected their kidneys, and all these
maladies come from disabling those
organs. If they will take REDS GER

failing remedy for all troubles Cf this
sort. 1t contains nothing deleterious,
nothing that can injure them in the
slightest degree, and there is no dam
ger from an overdose, but it is the

from cold. Ask your druggist for

LiItInu an Elephant.

London has been entertained lately by
feats of strength that are certainly re
markable and probably unsurpassed in
modern times. First there was man
named Sanlow, who was an enormously
powerful man; he was succeeded by
Sampson, and he in turn by an Irish
American named Sullivan. Curiously,
the three names begin with the letter S,
which is also the initial OF strength,
and of the Greek word for strength
(sthenos) Sullivan, the latest conner,
is thirty years Of age, stands feet, 81
inches in height and weighs 1853 pounds.
His appearance presents little taat is un-
usual in the way Of muscular develop.
ment, and his bicePs are neither very
large nor wonderfully rigid. 1t is in his
neck and jaw that his strength chi-dy
lies, and the majority Of his feats are
such as to bring this peculiarity into
/ special prominence. At au exhibition
given in London, he fastened a chain to
a 56-pound weight, and the other end
being gripped between his teeth, swung
himself round and round until the twirl-
ing chain assumed a nearly horizontal
line. The feat was repeated with the
weight doubled, and az the performer,
with both hands to his hips, and using
every sinew n his frame, swred round
and round, the audience wondered with
anxiety what would happen if one Of
the links should fly asunder. The most
remarkable feat, however, which Sulli,
van performed, was the lifting Of an
elephant by his teeth. It was "ba5y,"
It's true, but # weighed about 1900
mounds, aud was lifted clear three in
ehes from the ground, It's whole weight
pendent from the jaw Of the man above.
Sullivan was not successful iu an attempt
to break a chain with his arm, having in
jured this limb on the previous night.
He succeeded, however, in proving that
his proves was not entirely confined to
teats with his teeth, by lifting a barrel
Of water, weighing So pounds, with the
middle finger of his right hand. -Iar-

Regular Army of Eur0Ds.

The regular army in Cuba does not, al

number will be decreased this year.

pare with the Volunteers in physique or
intelligence, and seem dull, if not
stupid, to eyes accustomed to Ameri-
can, German, OF French soldiers. This
is largely due, l infer, to the fact that
he home Government must use every
able-bodied man it can find to keen the
army up to its numerical strength. The
ordinary pay Of Spanish soldier is
three dollars a month, and of Captain
fifty dollars, and they must pay their
own expenses out of this pittance. This
sum being trebled on foreign service,
Cuba is a favorite place of exile with
those who do not fear the yellow fever,
and prefer money and novelty abroad to
hunger and idleness at home. The
Volunteers receive no pay, but as there
are fifteen regiments of them in Havana,
and each goes on duty only one day in
turn, their duties are more interesting
than arduous. The men are well dressed,
active in appearance, and fairly well set
up, but they are slouchy in movement,
weak in evolutions and the manual of
arms, and use short mincing step in
marching which gives them brisk ap-
pearance at a distance and takes them
over the ground rapidly, but it does not
look ''seryiceable" to military eyes. The
men in the same line Of fours do not
even try to keep step while marching in
many cases, nor do the Office try to
keep time with their men. Each regi-
ment is headed by squad of grenadiers

Guinea are perfectly white. Not col

The natives have no tradition of time
when their ancestors had fowls of other

ably explained by the fact that white
feathers are the choicest ornaments
among this people, and they will not
wear feathers of any other color. In
fact. their fowls are rated more for their
feathers than for the cooking pot. 1t is
supposed that long time ago, when
their ancestors chose white az their ia.

those fowls which were nearest white,
rcservinc the Others for the cooking pot,
and by constantly breeding from fowls
that were white or nearly so the presenl
