A Negro Boy ID IN E1eph.nt's stomach
After . Piece Of Iron.
Apropos to the death Of Zipp, the
big elephant at Barsboo, Wis, from
having swallowed q chain weighing
ninety pounds, q reminder was called
up and related by DR.. Hume of Dem
yer. to the st. Louis Republic man.
..Just prior to the demise OF the
much lamented Phineas 7: Barnum !
was touring in Connecticut. and
called upon the great Snowman at
Bridgeport, who invited me to see
the circus animals in winter quarters.
On arriving at the great caravansary
where the wonders that tour the
country year after year r stored.
the illustrious owner was informed
that Beta, the prize trick elephant.
was ailing. All the symptoms of the
poor beast pointed to the fact that
she was suffering from acute gastral-
gia, and many means had been tried
to relieve her without avail.
1T was finally discovered that Beta
had by some means wrenched OF an
iron bar from her stall and as it
could not be found it was surmised
that she had swallowed it. and which
accounted for the gastric irritation
of the valuable pachyderm.
mir. Barnum saw that poor Beta
must soon succumb to the infamma-
ton caused by such a large foreign
body and with ready wit resolved on
unique plan to remove it. At
tached to his large winter hotel was
small colored boy who went by the
name Of Niger Joe. He was but
little larger than . full-grown pos
sum, and P. T. sent for him and ex-
that he mist take a rubber
tube in his mouth to breathe through.
and with a rope round his waist must
go down into the elephants stomach
and get out that bar of iron.
Joe rolled his eyes and demurred,
but he knew his employer too we'll to
Accordingly Joe vas an
nointed with a pound of vaseline and
Beta being safely gagged he was
pushed down the giant
head first; a smooth
stick we'll oiled landed him at the
bottom. According to instructions
the boy soon gave three tugs at the
rope, as he had been instructed. to be
out again, and sure enough,
tightly clasped in Joe's hands was
the offending and ~indigestible iron
bar. 1t is needless to say that Beta's
life was saved and that Niger Joe
handsomely rewarded for his
cure of the valuable elephants indi'
oestion.

Old Postage STAMINA.

In view of the exaggeration which
the newspapers give to the prices of
rare postage stamps and the value of
collections, it is interesting to note that
an estimate has been made by the Lon
don Philatelist of the extent and value
of existing postage stamp collections,
based in great part upon an actual CEN
u taken for the purpose. The con-
clusion arrived at is that the rs resi-
dent members of the London Philatelic
society possesses collections of the total
tions Of members ont of Great Britain

one-quarter of what the daily press ro-
mancers give us as the correct figures.

Consul General Elias of Meshed. in
a report recently issued, says that
carpets are made all over Khorassan.
but the localities where they are
specially produced are the cities of
Meshed, Birdshan and Turshiz. All
khorassan carpets r piled carpets.
or kali, q word that is not applicable
to any other kind of floor covering.
The different kinds are known some
times by the different patterns and
colors Of which they II composed,
but usually only by the names Of the
places where they are produced. such
as Kaini. Meshedi, Baluchi, and Tur-
shizi. The carpets of certain local
tiles have always some distinction or
superiority over those of other places.
says the Pail Mall Gazette, and the
carpet industry is in a more flourish
ing condition in some localities than
in others. Though carpets are
all over Khorassan-not only
in the towns and villages
but also in the tents of the
nomad tribes--a large proportion
are made for the use of the people
themselves and not for trade. At
present carpets Of fine quality are
manufactured for trade in the two
districts of Kahn and Turshiz, but
good carpets r also made in Meshed.
All the different classes of carpets
are made in varying sizes. Large
ones measure up to forty by sixteen
and two-thirds feet, and small ones
from five by two and one half feet up
to six and two-thirds by three and
one-third feet. A good quality Of
carpets. measuring ten by three and
one-third feet and ever smaller, are
woven by the nomads, and especially
by the Beluchis. All indigenous
dyes used in the manufacture of car
pets r obtained from vegetables.
Aniline dyes imported from Europe
were used formerly in Meshed. but
were discontinued when it was found
that the carpets containing them did
not sell well. Carpets of inferior
quality. made at Birgand. contain an
iline, but those of better quality,
which are made to order. do not.

PaleOlithic Man in America.

In a leading article in Science w. II.
Holmes of the Smithsonian Institution,
discusses the theory of a palcolithic
man in Eastern American. He con
cludes that If there ever was such a
man. or an ice age man. on the eastern
side of this continent the evidence so
far collected in support of the PROPOSE
ton is so unsatisfactory and in such a
state of utter chaos that the investiga-
ton practically must begin anew. That
it will SO begin is rendered certain by
the fact that biologists are now show
ing a decided disposition TO take up that
part of the work naturally belonging
to them, and that primitive forms of
art in stone are now for the first time
receiving the critical attention neces-
sary to make them available in a scien-
tific discussion.

Germany, as it seemed to me. You
could have walked on the heads Of
people, but you could not have moved
in such a crowd. The emperor came
and stood silently before them. and
they were silent at first; then the
shout that went up was almost awful
in it's intensity. and the emperor.
with a military salute and o few
words of thanks, went in. But that
did not satisfy them; they cried out
again and pressed up closer. Apeas-
ant woman who had been standing
near my carriage said: oh, let me

IL opened the door and she climbed
in and stood up. I passed my arm
around her to steady her and then
we turned to the balcony Of the first
floor. In a moment the emperor ap-
peared and stood, the center of all

folded her hands and said: Pray for

An organization to be started. Wedding
presents arc a far more serious and last

are ever likely to he. The nuisance has
been aggravated of late by the PERM

this question by q list of some two or
three hundred names of donors of we'd

This is, in fact, a highly ingenious
method of stimulating the generosity
of friends of the happy pair. The snobs
are induced to give more lavishly by the
knowledge that their names and their
gifts will bic proclaimed to all the world
in the newspapers. People who might
otherwise, either through common sense
or common stinginets, refrain from Civ
