little boy of the head keeper in this
building, teased the brute as boys will
with piece of sugar. Sultan never for
gave that, and one Sunday morning, as
the boy got too near the beast, the ele-
plant seized him with his trunk
and tried to crush the little fell
low against the heavy iron bars
CT his cage. The father for
tunately, came to the rescue in the nick
of time and attacked the beast with a
pitchfork, when the elephant let go of
the boy and went for the man, who
could save himself only by precipitate
flight. A smaller elephant, just inn
ported from East Africa, Sultan killed
with his huge tusks on the paddock
just outside the cage. and then trampled
the dead body to jelly-whereupon he
lost his tusks and became comparative
" harmless. Horrible in shape and
looks, and with yawning mouth that
looks endless like the grave, the
two enormous rhinoceroses, neigh
bors of the elephants, are among
the most innocent and harmless
of animals here. The female, Lena,

six feet high to the shoulders, to tho

Among the chief attractions of the
German capital is the Geological gar
den, and on fine summer days as well
as on holidays throughout the year the
visitors often number 10000 to 10000.
Low admission days are provided for
by the management, with the price
down to rs pfennig (six cents), so that
everybody is sure to view this instItu-
ton of popular amusement and instruc'
ton once in awhile. And the Geological
garden is well deserving of it's popular
ity. 1t now contains (barring amphib-
ious and aquatic animal life, in which
the aquarium, a purely private institu-
ton in Inter den Linden, is exhaustive)
the most comprehensive and best
housed collection OF living beasts and
birds to be found anywhere in the
world.
1t may, for instance, surprise many
readers, yet it is an absolute fact, that
the entire fauna of the United States
may nowhere be seen in such perfect
condition and so completely as within
the boundaries of the garden. The
collection in New York is a mere make
shift in comparison to this one-for
the buffalo of the far west, the seal OF
Alaska and California, the Canadian elk
the Virginia deer and fox, the turtle
of the Floridian seashore, the wild

In fact, if foreign investments were

United States and the vast bulk of her
people would be better off. 1t would
be the worse for the American gold
bug capitalists and SPECTATORS, of
course. They would lose much of their

American peoples gain, for it is out of

Therefore it is that five-sixths of the

SOME PLAIN FACTS.
Free Silver VIII Increase the Value OF Ever
Farm in the West.

Free Silver VIII Increase the Value OF Every
Farm in the West.
The proposition to coin silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one is nothing more
nor nothing less than q proposition to
increase in value every town lot and
every farm in the west, Free coinage
means an increased price for every
-bushel of grain and every animal
raised on the farm; free coinage means
more money in the country so that the
people can prosper and pay their debts;
free coinage means better wages for
every laboring man in the land; free
coinage of silver will give rs dollars
that are worth 100 cents, and being a
legal tender. will pay taxes, salaries
and debts exactly the same as gold
will do. We cannot understand why
any farmer in the west should object
to receiving a better price for his
grain. There cannot be 50-cent dol.
lars under free coinage. The silver
dollar will be a legal tender and o
legal tender will pay gold mortgage
and pay railroad freight exactly the
same as gold. The west raises produce
and exchanges it for money. The
more money the west gets in exchange
for its products the more prosperous
we will be. Isn't that as plain as the
rose on your face?-Free Coinage In

Gold has no commercial value. II sells for

The ratio of gold and silver never deyiated till

There is no money in this country to-day but
fiat money. Gold and silver are only money by
reason of the fiat OF the government. If We
have 50-cent silver dollar we have 50-cent
government and s0-cent party in Charge.
Why is silver not worth as much in bullion

A short time ago NJ. Henry, a French

benzine on wasp, put some of it under
q glass in which a wasp was impris-

signs of great annoyance and danger,
darting at piece of paper which had
introduced the benzine into his cell. By
aid by he seemed to have given up the
unequal contest in despair, for he lay
down on his back, and, bending up his
abdomen. planted his sting thrice into
his body and then died. NJ. Henry al
lowed his scientific interest to overcome
his humanity so far as to repeat the e1-
pertinent with three wasps, only to find
the other two did likewise. He is. there
