CELLUIOIO FASHION PLATES.
You Can Fill Them In with a background
of Zeal Cloth.

Ci.o * the clevercst emanations of
the Ie,iile Yankee brain which has been
put upon TIE market recently is set of
fashion plates for tailors. These plates
arc printed upon sheets of celluloid.
Each sheet is 1911. inches long and ~
inches wide. Before the prints are made
these sheets are as transparent as glass.
There are six sheets in set. Upon
one is n print of a fashionable pair Of
trousers, and upon the others full length
figures of men dressed in the accepted
style of clothing. One print shows the
single breasted sack suit, another the
double breasted sack suit, another the
regulation three button Getaway suit,
another the one button cutaway suit
for stout men. and the last a fashiona-
bic overcoat In each figure the print is
of a man, and he il hated and gloved
and provided in some with cane.
The prints seem to be made at first in
black outline, with all the proper shades
to show the creases and folds as they
should be i'll well fitting garments. All
the parts of the figures except the gar
ment or garments which each print is
" Uispisiy particularly are tucH llicu III
with appropriate colors, and tho back
ground around the figures is filed in
solidly with gold bronze
Locked at casually, one does not dis
cover tho popularity of the plates at
once. Hold one up to the light, and it
will be seen that the parts devoted TO
garments are as clear as glass, except
for the light shading which indicates
folds or creases. Lay one Of them over
piece of cloth, and the use of the
plates becomes manifest at a glance.
The texture of the cloth shows through
clearly. and the figure appears to he
clothed in perfect fitting garments of
the underlying material.
Do you wonder how a suit, an over
coat or pair Of trousers of some Ger
tain cloth would appear when made up,
yen place q plate over it. and. 10, there
is the garment in all its perfection.
That Is the purpose Of the novel fashion
plates. Now York Sun.

Catarrh starts in the nasal pas
sages, affecting eyes, ears and throat,
and is in fact. the great enemy of the
mucous membrane. Neglected colds
in the head almost invariably pre-
cede catarrh, causing AN excessive
flow of mucous, and if the mucous
discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results of catarrh will
follow, such as bad breath, severe
pain across forehead and about the
eyes, a roaring and bUzzing sound in
the ears and oftentimes a very offens-
i've discharge. Ely's Cream Balm is
the acknowledged cure for these
troubles.

Chicago's Elevated Railroad Is Getting
Many Curiosities.
(From The Chicago Tribune.

(From The Chicago Tribune.)
Every absent-minded person in Chicago
some time in his career manifests his
weakness at the elevated railroad station
at Congress Sstreet This is a broad state
ment, but the officials Of the road believe
it is true and offer a varied collection of
curiosities that were intended for tickets
as proof. This is the station which gets
the crowds and witnesses the most pro-
nounced "rattles" that appear along the
line.
First come the people who approach the
box with ticket in one hand and change
in the other, and drop in the change.
This class is legion, and the company has
a regular blank prepared for use in get
ting the money back again This blank
is filled with the name of the person who
dropped in the money, his residence, the
amount involved, and the attestation of
the .'chopper' who was present at the
box. 1t is piece of red tape SO involved
that when the amount is small the passen-
ger, if it be a man, generally prefers to
let it go by default
Next to money, tickets on other roads
and to all sorts of amusements are great
est in number. These run the gamut
from Illinois Central tickets to tickets on
roads in England, and they include on
nearly all the roads between. This par
ticular form of absence of mind has en-
abled the company to collect rare stock
of souvenirs of the fair. The list includes
admission tickets to every place on Mid
way, intramural railroad tickets, ticket
to the fair proper, and electric launch
tickets with here and there pass to
some of these features. These souvenirs
are framed and hung in the company s
offices, and are becoming more and more
valuable daily.
Occasionally the box gets wrong ticket
from a man who is trying to beat his way
but these instances are rare. 1t requires
a quick eye on the part of the chopper"
to prevent this form of swindle, for, when
a crowd is passing through, ticket the
same color as the genuine might easily
pass muster. But he is paid to have this
quick eye and the man who wants free
ride has learned this fact to his cost.

AN ELEPHANTS GRIMES.
He Kills His Keeper and Child, and Ter
rorizes q Village.
(From The Madras Standard. J

(From The Madras Standard.
During recent religious festival at
Alvartirunagari, on the banks of the
Talnbramini, terrible tragedy was en-
acted by an elephant. Like most large
elephants, this has its periodical festivals
one of which has just been celebrated.
Certain elephants were brought down
from Nunguneri and Tinnevelly for the
festivities of the occasion All went
smoothly till, unfortunately, the large
elephant of Nunguneri, ran amuck
The mahout unwittingly took up little
child (son of the Temple Darmakartha)
and placed it in front of him on the neck
of the elephant. Alarmed at the state of
the elephant. the mahout endeavored
quietly to pass the child out of danger by
handing it to somebody behind. He was
not quick enough to elude the sagacity of
the elephant, which snatched up the
child, put it into its mouth. and began
munching it. The mahout, Mortified at
the sight, jumped down and tried to ex-
tricate the child which he succeeded in
doing, but not before the child was well
nigh dead Indeed, it only breathed for
few minutes afterward, and then ex-
pired.

became furious, and in it's mad rage
seized the mahout, dashed him to the
ground, and then trampled out any little
breath that might have still remained in
his body. And here comes strange and
touching incident Repenting seemingly
OF his awful misdeed, the elephant gath
cred up what was the moment before his
master, proceeded to his (the mahout's)
house, and. depositing his mournful bur
den at his door, passed ON. The people
generally, in great dread, closed their
doors and windows
The elephant wildly rushed along the
streets and came to the temple, the door
OF which, too had been closed. 1t there
upon battered the door. and, passing into
the inclosure, furiously attacked the lit.
tie elephant of Tinnevelly, which it
pierced with its tusks and soon killed.
Emerging thence the animal rushed
madly along to the river close by, where
it began throwing mud and sand all over
itself. In the meantime the police con
stables had got their muskets loaded, and
climbing out of danger, took potshots at
the furious animal, which they eventually
succeeded in disabling and ultimately
killing.

Ambassador Eustis seems to be getting
very little satisfaction from the French
government in the case of Waller, who
was tried in Madagascar and convicted
of betraying French war plans to the
Hovas Mr.. Eustis has not even been
permitted to talk with Waller, and all
possible obstacles seem to be thrown in
the way of an investigation of the circum-
stances of Waller's trial and conviction.
Tho French government is certainly act
ing as il the rumors of q snap Judgment
In the case of tho ex-counsel were true.
Surely if there were nothing to conceal
the French government would be likely
to court the fullest investigation of the
case. If Mr. Waller was guilty of the acts
charged, and his trial was regular he has
no right to expect any interposition on
the part of our government, but it is
clearly the duty of our government to see
that an American citizen is not consigned
to twenty years imprisonment by a
'umhead court martial, which is alleged

Comptroller Eckels believes the silver
agitation is on the decline, ION its last
legs is the way he expresses it, And
there is plenty Of evidence that he is
right. The improvement in business is
largely responsible for it. All agitations
of this kind are peculiar to hard times,
and as a rule pass away when the times
improve. That was the case with the
greenback agitation. The number of peo-
pie that understand the bimetalic theory
or the monometalio is very small and
therefore the number of people that have
any definite convictions on the subject is
small toe. The interest of the masses in
silver has been due chiefly to, the fact
that it was offered as remedy for hard
times. 1t is only when the disease exists
that the remedy is needed or thought of
by the majority of people; and now that
hard times are abating interest in silver
is naturally abating. q Academic discus
sions will go on for some time yet but no
considerable number of people will get
Eexcited over them.

One DR. Gibbons contends that the men
who have been electrocuted in the New
York penltentiaries were not killed by
the shock and that he could have resusci-
tated them if given chance. Almost
every day some lineman is prostrated in
the large cities by contact with live
wire and taken up for dead. Instead of
wasting his breath telling what he could
have done in the case of electrocuted
murderers why doesn't the doctor demon
stratc his theory by bringing these line
men back to life?

1t is alleged that Secretary Hoke Smith
is making use of the post masters to dis
tribute "sound money" literature That
is violation of civil service reform. The
business of the postmasters is simply to
distribute the mail that comes to their
postoffices and the distribution of cam
paign literature whether it be on the side
of sound money or unsound money, is
not only, not their business, but it is an
improper thing for them to do.

The indications are now that the Tories
will elect enough members of Parliament
from their own ranks to control legisla-
tion without the aid of Mr. Chamberlain's s
Unionist contingent. If that proves to
be the case Mr.. Chamberlain will be
likely to regret that he put SO much zeal
into the campaign, for if his assistance
is moi needed he and his party are likely
to get very scant consideration. The
Tories have never liked Mr. Chamberlain
but they have felt obliged to tolerate him
to keep themselves af1oat.

more satisfactory than the English. Here
all the elections take place on the same

Bullets and She'll A Soldiers Ro-
nance. By George F., Williams, of the
18th and 46th Regiments New York vol
unteers and War Correspondent with
The Army Of the Potomac, The Army of
the Shenandoah and The Army of the
Cumberland. Author of The Memorial
War Book etc., ETC. Illustrated from
sketches among the actual scenes by Ed
win Forbes-member of the French and
OF the London etching clubs, War Cor
espondent ETC. This also is volume of
prepossessing appearance and excellent
appointments from the publishers point
of view. One may quarrel little with
the author over his statements of the
causes leading up to our Civil War and
may also object to his dealing with the
matter of society manners-for instance,
people of good breeding do not quarrel
with their hosts or hostesses. But when
the writer gets down to the heart CT his
subject and fairly into the incidents of
the war, he shows his thorough familiar
ity with its spirit and adventure and
makes an interesting and lively contribu-
tion to Civil War literature. He deals
with the history of the Peninsular Cam
paign, between Washington and Rich
mond. The story opens with scene on
a Virginia plantation. The sombre side
of soldier life is lighted up by the humor
of an Irish character. Running expert
ences are graphically detailed and the
loyalty and good fellowship of oompan-
ions in arms. So far as love stony ex-
lists, it occupies principally the first and
last chapters of the book. New York:

Illustrated is book excellent in print

too heavy effect in shadow upon some of
the faces in the cuts and of an attractive
appearance. The story is told with all
the.resources of an sartist in his way, for
Mr.. Morris knows how to tell a story.
Even when there is suggestion of care
less English or little too free use of the
vernacular, there is still wonderful
sprightliness and reality about his work.
His novels are always entertaining and
they have an enormous circulation. The
present story is darkened by some might
have been" that sgive pathos to Billy

The departure of ex-Speaker Crisp to
Europe while the silver war is raging in
his own state and in the other states of
the South SO fiercely is naturally occasion
ing good deal of comment Not long
ago Alr. Crisp took occasion to publicly
renew his allegiance to the cause of free
silver through newspaper interview
which was spread over the land, and
naturally enough it wa supposed that
when the battle began to rage in his state
he would be found in the thickest of the
fight There is suspicion that Crisp IS
ardor has been cooled by missives that
have reached him from Washington, and
that though he has not become a full
fedged sound money" man like Carlisle
he has found it convenient to assume a
neutral attitude But neutral attitude
in Georgia is impossible and so he has
taken fight to Europe, until the storm
has blown over.
