Col. Lamont in the Cabinet.
From the New YORK Press-


Col. Lamont who slips over to New
York oftener than anybody here is aware
of, is aging considerably. The Secretary
of War is now generally recognized to be
full grown man. 1t has taken two
years of service with the army to con-
vince the American people that the col
onel is, after all, something more than
a private secretary. But when a man be-
comes the happy possessor Of a plethoric
purse he usually rises to the occasion
and actually grows. Lamont is a rich
man. l am informed that he could draw
a check for nearly S1.000,0o0. The Whit
neys pointed out to him some good spec
ulations and enabled him to take advan-
tage of them. The President also helped
him, and he has prospered nearly as rap
idly as Mr.. Cleveland himself, who is
said to be three or four times a mill
ionaire. Gresham. Carlisle. Olney. Her
bert, Wilson. Hoke Smith and Morton
are beggars beside the President and the
Secretary Of War. Olney is the richest
OF the lot.

THE BAGGAGE OyERWEIGHED.

The following incident occurred at
railway station near Rochdale. A
young man was standing beside some
luggage waiting for train, when a
porter came up to him and said:
"Sir, that luggage is overweight"
"Who says it ISL" asked the man,
who stammered badly.
well l think it u.s." answered the
porter. 'but we will weigh it."
During the conversation a crowd had
collected round them, and another por.
ter came up, and asked what was tn.
matter. The man stammered out:
"F-irst he says it is overweight;
then he-says he thinks it is over.
weight, and then he says we will
weigh it,
The porters then took hold of the
luggage and carried it to the office and
weighed it.
!" 1t is overweight, and you have got
30 cents to pay" said Porter No. /.
"Sh-a'n't pay it," the man said.
"Well, if you don't pay it, we will
fetch the station master,'' said the
porter.
Fetch Who you like; sh-a'n't
pay it," again stammered the man.
The station master was duly fetched,
and, on arriving, asked what the bother
was about, when the man again said:
"F-irst he says it is overweight
and then he thinks it's overweight
and then he weighs it, and says it is
overweight. and I have fifty cents to
pay. Sh-a'n't pay"
We'll, said the station master in

because it is not my luggage" an

Eczema of the ear is common all
ment and a most disagreesble one.
Indeed, all maladies of the external ear
are peculiarly offensive. The sufferer
from eczema should never eat pork in
any form. Shellfish will frequently
produce an attack of eczema. and,
where such is the case, must be alb
stained from. Women subject TO
eczema should eat quantities of fruit,
salads, particularly dandelion and
watercress; they should take frequent
warm, calming baths. and, above all.
they should not get either chilled or
overhested. For local application a
weak dilution of carbolic acid is heal
ing and agreeable, or a few drops of
listerine diluted with water will allay
the fearful itching of eczema of the
ear.
Grown persons, as we'll as children,
suffer agonies from earache. Where
it is possible. a physician should
always be called. as the pain which
seems to be old-fashioned earacbe may
be the precursor of a more serious all
ment. Where one lives at distance
from a doctor it is we'll to have a
remedy at hand. Duval's earache cure
has been tried many times with sue
cess. The formula is as follows:
Laudanum, fifteen drops.
Chloroform, fifteen drops.
Mix; wet small bit of cotton with
the mixture and introduce into the ear.
The first effect is sensation of cold.
then there is mum bness, followed by
scarcely perceptible pain and a refresh
ing sleep. 1t is of the greatest import
ance that the external ear should be
kept clean. and above all that the yell
low cerumen should never be allowed
to remain in the passage until it has
hardened. When the ear has been
neglected until cerumen is hardened it
produces temporary deafness. Y.

ELEPHANT WAYS.

Nothing but ride on an earthquake
could be compared to the sensation of
being run away with by an elephant.
Nothing stops his wild rush, and he
does not swerve for an obstacle, but he
goes straight at it. A few shakes fling
off everything on his back, and the
rider has but second or two in which
to make up his mind which overhang-
ing branch he will cling to, or if he
will risk throwing himself off. A
broken neck would be TIE certain con-
sequence of remaining. As for stopping
him, somebody has we'll said that you
might just as we'll try to stop runa-
way locomotive by pulling with your
walking stick on the funnel as to seek
to check an elephant at such moment
with a goad, writes Henry Norman in
the Philadelphia Times,
By stroking an elephants lip in a
certain manner you can make it purr
like huge grimalkin, till the earth
shakes beneath your feet. When it is
afraid or angry it squeaks like an un-
oiled hinge. But when it suddenly
jumps aside like flea. you imagine
for a moment that the ultimate terres-
trial cataclysm has gone off.
The Malays never wholly trust their
elephants. and were nervous at my IA
miliarities with mine, sweet tenn
pered old female, ON whom rode hun
dreds of miles. During the midday
halt I used to call her up. and she
would come and stand with one foot ON
each side of my chest as I lay on my
back and fed her with bananas. I was
never angry with her but once-when
she tried to kill the cook.
On one occasion little elephant of
our party, running behind his mother,
leased her beyond endurance and she
turned and gave him a shove that
landed him feet uppermost at the bot
tom of deep brook. For two hours
he screamed like steam whistle, while
we were all engaged in getting him
out.
Every night when we reached camp
and the loads were taken off, each
driver would hobble his beast by tying
his front legs together with rattan. so
that it could only hop with both to-
gether. Then huge wooden bell was
hung around It's neck and it was turned
loose to wander in the jungle. All
night long the faint dong, dong, of
these bells made a mournful noise
around the camp. At daybreak each
driver traced his elephant by the
sound, often going many miles for
him.
The elephant is in some respects
stupid beast. and many of the tales of
its sagacity are apocryphal. yet it
sometimes does very strangely intelli-
gent things. Once tiny elephant got
jammed in between the parts of
heavy tree trunk that had been cut in
two to leave passage on the road. Its
screams brought back its mother from
ahead. She inspected it carefully for
moment. then walked a dozen steps
back wards, and, lowering her head,
charged straight at it. shooting it out
as if it had been fired from gun.
Now, she must have seen that. al
though the little one could not move
either way, there was really room for
it to get through. If there had not been
her charge would have mashed it as fat
as pancake.
