The Former Frightened the Latter Almost
to Death.
A most remarkable incident happened
in the early hours of a recent morning
to a police constable on duty in the
High Road, Clapton, says the Westmin-
ster Gazette. 1t appears that on Sat
urday night a travelling circus gave a
performance on Mount Pleasant Fields,
and, as is usual, struck the tent soon
after the close of the entertainment.
Among the animals was q perform
ing elephant, and this, in the charge OF
a keeper, was dispatched to the next
stopping place. All was quiet as the
pair logged along, but when nearing
Goulton road, High road, Clapton, the
keeper noticed that the elephant would
walk on the pavement, but he little
thought of the trick that 1t wss about
to play. Standing just around the col
ner of the road was a police constable
~sheltering from the wind and quite un-
conscious of the approach of the ele-
plant, whose tread gave forth no sound.
AS the animal reached the corner he
put his trunk round and just touched
the constable's ARM The latter turned
to see what it was, and on seeing the
elephant was seized with alarm and
took to his heels along the road, closely
pursued by his tormentor. The keeper
tried to call the animal back, but it was
of no avail, for the ~retreating figure
of the constable occupied the sole at
tention of the elephant, who kept up
thepursuit until the officer darted into u
garden and closed the iron gates behind
him. The elephant stood at the other
side of the railings, but made no at
tempt to get at him, and, much to his
relief, on the arrival of the keeper,
turned and went on its way.

Corduroys and r~ainproof velveteens are
growing considerably In popular favor for
costumes, wraps and suits for children.
White gloves with black stitching are
still in great vor for dressy day and even
ing wear; so are pale canary tints stitched
in black.
Handsome lattice patterned passemen-
terie bands are used on tailor gowns, with
the addition of small silk cord sequins or
tailor buttons.
Smooth faced cloths are conspicuous
green and rich shades in blue seem to be
equally fashionable coiors.
English tailors make some of their
gowns with two pockets on the sides of the
front gore of the skirt, the openings Gov
cred with machine stitched tabs.
Changeable and fancy plaided and
checked yelvets in oriental color mixtures
are in great use with tailors and high class
modistes in the formation of autumn and
winter costumes of ladies' cloth.
There is not he least decline In the
fashion for basque bodices, with vests both
wide and narrow, and a moderately fiaring
collar in very many instances takes the
place of the folded stock so long in vogue.
Some natty costumes made of ladies'
cloth and designed for slende young wom-
en- are made of two shades of the cloth, the
fronts of the waist arranged in straps COM
pletely covered with rows of braid or hand
some passementerie.
A lovely garniture for a bridesmaids
dress consists of q loose front of cream
white mousseline de sole dotted with opals
and small Roman pearls and framed
with bretelles covered with this garniture
and ending in n fine fringe both back and
front. On each shoulder are short, full
ostrich tips held by pearl buckles set with

on my neck, my throat was filed with
sores, and a horrible ulcer broke out on
my jaw. After being treated again with
no success, 1 became disguised and
changed doctors. I was again given
the Usual treatment of mercury, and
took enough to kill an ordinary man.
OF course, I was pronounced cured half
a dozen times, the disease returning
each time, until my physician finally
admitted hat he could do me no good.
I am sure that no one was eve
in a worse fix than my hair had
fallen by the handful, my feet were SO
swollen that 1 could scarcely work, and
I was in a sad plight.
"I had seen S. S. S.. advertised as a
cure for this disease, and determined to
try it, and before I had taken one bottle
I felt much better. I continued to take
the remedy, and a dozen bottles cured
me completely, SO that for Eve years I
have had no sign of the terrible disease.
S. S. S. is the greatest blood remedy of
the age, and is truly a God-send to those
afflicted with contagious blood poison"
For fifty years S. S.. S has been curing
this terrible disease, even after all other
treatment failed. It is guaranteed

The Curse
Of Mankind!

The most horrible disease to which
the human family is subject is conta-
gious blood poison. 1t has always
bafied the doctors, for notwithstanding
the progress made in some branches OF
medicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover a cure for it. Whether in the
form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors prescription is always b anne
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto II. Ebert, who resides at the
corner OF 2zd Street, and Avenue N,
Galveston, Texas, had a severe expert
euce with this dreadful disease, and
under date of April 5th, 1896, writes:
Several ear ago 1 was so unfortu-
nate as to contract contagious blood
poison, and wa under treatment of the
best physicians continuously for four
years. As o as I discovered that I had
the disease, I hastened to place myself
under the care of n of The foremost
doctors in my State, and o his
treatment faithfully for several months.
It was a very short time after he pro
nounced me we'll, that the disease broke
out afresh, and I was in far worse con-
