THE ARHS CHEST.


When Captain Benson came On deck

washing down, and the ship was stretch

raced after the Queen. faultlessly mold
ing their flight to the heave Of the sea,
and they filed with interest. beautiful
and living. the wide yeast Of the wake
that rushed of astern, whittier and more
defined than London coaching road.
The captain looked at those birds for
o few minutes and then round upon
the sea, letting his gaze rest upon the
three shining needles abeam. He now
called the mate to him.
How is that man who threw himself

''All right, SIR" and the mate point

with an earnest face at the deck near

ON TEMPERATURE.

Now that the winter may be said to
have fairly commenced swe are again
confronted with the question OF heat
ing the various places in which we have
to pass our time, our houses, our offices
and the cars in wkich we ride. 1t Is a
well.known fact that as general rule
they are kept at temperature far too
high, that the majority of us live in an
atmosphere at our homes unsuitable
both for human lungs and human
brains. Physicians tell us this, and we
realize its truth, but those who supply
the fuel for heat and steam do not as a
rule hear, or if they dc, do not heed
the warnings of medical men. 1t is be-
meath the dignity OF your railway en-
ploye, or your janitor, to harken or
heed what medical men of repute may
advise, and thus You daily, in passing
in and out of your homes and places Of
business, are made to meet an abrupt
change of temperature of from 60 to 20
degrees.
The dread pneumonia frequently can
be traced as the consequence of passing
from high to much lower tempera-
ture.
The expressing effect OF living, from
a life constantly passed in unhea thiul
conditions, is everywhere apparent.
We are a more delicate race today
than we were fifty years ago, and should
this physical degeneration continue
through the next half century, the
American will no longer present the
physique he does today.

Sherman knows that an iceberg isn't in

il Mark Hanna carries out his reported
intention of Offering Mr.. Sherman a
seat in McKinley's cabinet if he will
agree to join in the deal to make
Hanna his successor in the Senate he
will meet the coolest wave Of
his life. 1t has been understood for
some time by those who are near to
Mr.. Sherman, politically, that the old
man not only wants to Istay in the Sen
ate to the end of his present term, but
also to be reelected to another, and
that he has already began to pull wires
to bring about his desires.

How some Trick Elephants Embarked ON
= Steamboat In Chicago.

y btoemDoet In Cnice8o.
A troop of elephants made up the
! cargo which was shipped for milwaukee,
OH the steamer City of Fremont. 1t ia
seldom that such consignment of
freight is shipped on the lake boats, and
the stevedores do not banker to handle
such shipment. 1t knocks all the poet
~ ont Of the life on the rolling wave to
tackle the circus elephant and drag him
over the gangplank by the tusks.
There were Eve elephants in the party.
When they arrived at tho docks, the
question arose as to how they were to
be loaded They were too tall to walk
aboard the steamer in the low gang
way, and the sailors were not husky
enough to wheel them OH board. Had
they been anything but trained ele-
plants they would have, had to swim
TO the Cream City or else GO by land.
The captain Of the steamer was in
clined to believe that he had contracted
for an impossible undertaking, as the
animals were not sufficiently skillful
to climb a rope ladder to the upper
deck. He was sorely disappointed. as
his ambition had always been 10 haul n
menagerie out on the billows, and then
he could use them TO trim the vessel.
But the trainer WAS not SO easily dis
couraged. lie knew his beasts better
than the captain did and vas therefore
equal to the situation. Ho ordered Tie
smallest Of the troop 60 lie down on
the gangplank, and the animal complied
without "a whimper. The elephant was
then asked to roll on board, which COM
mend was also obeyed promptly. The
monster brute made but two revelations
and found himself bound for Milwau-
kee
In telling CT the novel occurrence ono
OF the dockmen said:
'We got them OH board safely by
rolling them down the gangplank, but
1t was tight squeeze for the two big
gest. When the steamer felt the weight
of the elephants on one side, she listed
some, but was properly trimmed at last,
when the keeper ordered them to lie
down amidships. They did as they were
bid without making any bones about it.
/ suppose they thought they were going
back to Africa. I've seen horses make
more trouble than those elephants did
when being loaded"
When the boat got we'll under way
and felt the swell of the water as the
east winds blew, the elephants proved
themselves good sailors and trumpeted
their delight. They locked out at the
broad waste of sea and sky and watched
the distant sails with as much interest
as the two legged passengers above them
did.
The smallest one, however, when the
city had long been left behind, felt
uneasy. He rubbed his pom
derous stomach with his trunk and de-
livered ashrill trumpeting sound, which
drowned out the sound of the big whis-
tie. The captain tried to make dicker
for the animal, as he said that his vocal
strength far exceeded the powers of the
vessels deep voiced fog horn. Chicago

MociSing birds and Alligators Arc Disap-
pearipg Down South.

Mocking Birds and Alligators Are Disap-
pearipg Down South.
Twenty years ago the beautiful trees
Of Jacksonville, Fla, were alive with
mocking birds, whose incompatible
songs made the mornings and afternoons
vocal with music. Every tree seemed
to hold ore or more songsters. Every
hour in the day the beautiful lines:
Listen to tho mockinr Bird
Listen to the mociiny bird;
The Inocking bird is singing on the lea,
would be forced upon the stranger with
in the gates. But now 10 note of a
mocking bird is ever heard, and no
mocking bird is ever seen. The Sun re-
porter has been here two weeks, but he
has not seen nor heard a mocking bird
in the city or any of the suburbs. The
northern demand has very nearly de-
stroyed the species 1t is real pity, as
much SO as would be the destruction Of
the beautiful flowers which everywhere
distill their perfumes on the slumbrous
air. The mocking bird does not thrive
in cold climates. Florida seems to be
its natural home. 1t should not be fur
ther destroyed, but protected, so that it
may be again as numerous as it once
was.
And the alligator has also vanished
from the waters as the mocking bird
has from the tree Of Florida. Time was
when all the jewelry stores of Jackson
Vile kept big supply of them, but the
young were sent north as curiosities,
and the old were killed in sport or for
their hides, out of which purses and
shoes and slippers and the like came to
be made. So that now the alligator has
become q rare creature in these parts.
In the destruction Of the mocking bird
and tho alligator Florida loses much OF
the picturesqueness and romance which
characterized her in the past. st.-Jackson-

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW,

The time is now approaching when
new executives will take their seats at
the head of many cities in the State
and strive to carry on the guidance of
municipal affairs. The first and one OF
the most vital questions which they
will meet is the enforcement OF the
liquor laws in their various cities.
There can be but one course for the
coming Mayors to pursue, and that is
the one which they will swear to do at
their inauguration. 1t is to uphold the
law. When a city votes in favor of Ii
cense il means that class has been
created by the will OF the people, and
that this class has paid for its privilege.
The city owes to this number prstec.
tion from unlicensed sellers, and the
class owes in return an effort TO be
amenable to the conditions on which
its privilege is granted. These laws
should be strictly enforced, for IL in n
licensed city, where the Sdealers have
paid money for their privilege, unli-
censed selling is allowed thcn they are
in a measure justified in breaking their
contracts with the people because its
Representatives have not guarded their
share OF the work and vice versa. There
can be no middle ground along these
lines. and the officials who do not stand
for the strict enforcement OF the law
deserve the highest censure which the
public can give.
