in a recent letter TO the manufacturers
Mr.. w. F. Benjamin, editor of the Spec
tator, Rushtord, N. Y, says: 1t may
be pleasure TO you TO know the high
esteem in which Chamberlain's medi-
cines are held by the people of your own
state where they must be best known.
An aunt of mine, whoresides at Dexter,
Iowa, was about 70 visit me few years
since, and before leaving home wrote
me, asking If they were sold here, stat
ing If they were not she would bring a
quantity with her, as she did not like to
be without them. The medicines re-
ferred to are Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy, famous for its cures of colds and
groups, Chamberlain Pain BGlm for
rheumatism, lame back, pains in the
side and chest. and Chamberlain Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy .or
bowel complaints. These medicines
have been in constant use in Iowa Tor
almost quarter of a century. The
people have learned that they are art
icles of great worth and merit, and une.
qualed BY any other. They are for sale
here by A. r. Champney.

The architect of the new Boston pub
lie library has had statue made which
he intended presenting to the library,
but the people of Boston object strenu-
ously to the gift. The statue is thus
described in Chicago paper: "The
figure is about life size and represents
a girl laughing, as she trips along, at a
baby who sits in the fold of her left
arm and reaches down toward bunch
Of grapes which she is dangling above
the child" After this 1t is hard to see
how the people of Boston could accept
this gift, even If the girl and baby were
dressed in toboggan suits. Any girl, be
she bronze or fleshling, who will laugh
at a baby who is reaching down toward
a bunch OF grapes which is being dan
gled above 1t has no business to be
uaraded before the public.

However one may regret from pa
crew at Henley, 1t is refreshing to per-
ceive how thoroughly they have wiped
out the remembrance of the disagree
able impression made there last year
by Cornell. The great banquet given
the Yale men at the Sports club in Lon
don after the race was marked by ex-
treme cordiality towards the Amer
leans, and the victorious Leanders have
done everything in their power to make
the Americans feel as cheerful over
their defeat as possible. All Of which
is entirely different from the events
following the defeat OF Cornell last
year.

German papers discuss the origin of
the phrase, Blood Is thicker than
water" which Emperor William lately
used twice as an expression of good will
toward England and, as usual, credit 1t
to the wong man. 1t was used first
by Captain Ingraham during the Brit
ish- Chinese war In 1859 and not by
Admiral Tatnal, the commander of the
American feet that witnessed the bonn
bardment Of the Taku forts by the
British gunboat Opossum. Captain In
graham was already famous man on
account of the share he took In the
Martin Koszta affair, when he, at the
harbor of Smyrna, had his vessel pre-
pared for action, placing her between
two Austrian men-of-war to emphasize
his demand for the surrender of Kosz-
ia, political refugee, with a declara-
tion of intention to become citizen OF
the United States in his pocket The

Some writer's strive to put the gist of
their subject into the opening sentence,
after the manner of the able newspaper
head liner. This can be overdone. A
lady went to Louisville hotel to meet
her son, whom she had not seen for
years. He was not there to meet her,
but he had left letter. The opening
sentence read: II am now in the pen
itentiary." Then the old mother faint
ed, and it was three hours before she
recovered. Then she discovered by
reading the rest of the letter that her
boy had a good position with the con-
tractors for the penitentiary labor and
had been unable to leave his duties.

IN Elephant That Usod 90 Play Clever
Trick on Visitors.


The elephant at the Jardin dos
3lantes, at Paris, used to play his Wis
Sors a trick, which could not have
been thought Of but by an animal of
much intelligence His house opened
apon an inclosure called tho Elephants
park containing pond, in which he
would lay himself under the water,
soncealing every part OF him except the
sery end of his trunk-a mere speck
hat would hardly be noticed by a
stranger TO the animals habits
"A crowd would assemble around the
inclosure, and, not seeing him in it,
would watch in expectation that he
would soon issue from the house. But,
while they were gazing about, a CO.
pious sprlnkling of water would fall
npon them, and ladies and gentlemen,
with their fine bonncts and coats,
would run for shelter under the trees,
ooking up at the clear sky and wonder
ing whence such a shower could come.
Immediately afterward, however,
lhey would see the elephant rising
rom his bath, evincing. as it seemed
an awkward joy at the trick that he
had played. In the course of time his
Amusement became generally known,
and the moment the water began to
:ise from his trunk the spectators

NOW 1T is BICYCLE TEETH"
Queer Complaint That Bothors PhiIa
delphia Riders.

Queer Complaint That Bothcrs Phila-
delphia Riders.
1t may be something peculiar to the
eastern climate, to the dust OF the east
srn roads, or to some popularity about
The eastern method of riding, but the
fact remains that down Philadelphia
way bicycle riders are in large num-
bers affected by what dentists call re
ceding gums" The Offices of the dem
lists, according to a Philadelphian's
tale, are overrun with wheelmen and
wheelwomen who want to know what
is the matter with their teeth. They
complain that they have more and more
exposed ivory surface for every day
that they live, and that unless some
remedy is speedily found they will all
either be fang-too;hed or lose molars,
incisors and CANNES altogether.
The story goes that it took the dem
lists a long time to find out that the
complaints came only from riders of the
wheel. They put two and two together
and have put peremptory stop to the
riding of wheels in the Quaker City un-
til they can evolve remedy for bicycle
Teeth. Dentists laugh at the story, and
they say that there are no such things
as bicycle teeth in Philadelphia, and
they add they don't believe they ride
fast enough in Philadelphia to injure
any part of the anatomy.-Fansas City

The most remarkable act yet done by
a new woman may be credited to Mrs.
Mary Cation, whose husband conducts
a large stock farm near Lansing, Mich
She sailed from New York on Saturday
in charge of a string of nine trottine
horses whose care-taker she will be
throughout the entire European trot-
ting circuit. She is said to thoroughly
understand horses, and her husband,
detained at the farm by business, con-
sidered her the only person he could
thoroughly trust to manage the horses
during their European career.
