s In a short time they had Won the
victory, and put the enemy to fight.
And then they gathered around the
brave elephant, offering to lead him
where he could be fed and cared for.
But, though wounded and worn, the
obedient creature would not move I'M
til he heard his masters voice. That
master could never speak again.
A rider was sent in great haste to a
place so miles away, where lived the
drivers little son, whom the elephant
knew and loved.
When the little boy was brought to
the battle-ground the elephant showed
very plainly that he was glad to see
him, and permitted the child to lead
him away.-Jennie S. Judson, in Our
Little Ones.

A Strange Case of Instinct.

A strange instance of animal instinct
occurred at the Theater Royal, Middles-
borough, England, dming the perform
ance of pantomime. In the panto-
mime is introduced miniature circus
with ponies, baboon and donkey.
While putting the baboon through its
PAGES the trainer noticed how eagerly
it sought the footlights and scanned the
first row of the stalls. A seafaring
man, who was evidently the object of
interest to the baboon, uttered a pc
culiarly distinctive cry, when instantly
the baboon sprang across the foot
lights into his arms. An inquiry on the
part of the acting manager elected the
extraordinary fact that the seaman had
originally brought the baboon from its
native land. but that was several years
ago. .. a.s

CHiCAGO'S POSTAL GAINS.
Beats All Other Cities In Swelling tho
Revenue on Malls

ncNcuuC On AAAhe
Chicago again leads all the cities in
the United States in the gain in postal
revenue. A statement has been pre-
pared at the department showing that
in the last fiscal year the receipts of the
Chicago office amounted to $5,072, SIS.
This sum is S612, 200 in excess of the re-
ceipts for the previous fiscal year. In
no other post Office in the United States
is the gain so great. The New York Of
fee is a close second, with gain of
s543,314. The fiscal year of the post Of
flee department ends ON March 81. 1t
is estimated that the receipts of the
Chicago Office up to July will show a
still further increase, making the sum
nearly S750,000 more than last year.
Postmaster Hesing, of Chicago, has re-
Gently applied for authority to establish
large number of additional postal sub
stations in that city. The splendid show
ing in receipts of the office induces the
postal authorities to grant almost any
reasonable requestmade by Mr.. Hesing,
but it is not decided yet whether the

A Strange Death.

A strange death came suddenly upon
Mrs. Margaret Z. Stoe, of Lancaster,
Pa, recently. She was awakened by
the crying of her child, who was in a
cradle at the side of her bed. She
reached for the babe, and her head be-
ing lower than her body there was a
violent rush of blood, which caused a
clot to form en- her heart, producing in
slant death. Her husband was at mar
ket at the time and Mrs. Stoe's body was
discovered by her 11:year-old daughter.

THE, VISITING SPARROW.
He Spent the Winter in Captivity, But

He Spent the Winter in Captivity, But
Flew Away in Spring.
A few years ago lady living IN the
Via Volturno, in Rome, had some pet
canaries in cages, which she every day
hung out on balcony in trent OF her
kitchen window. She observed spar
row frequently come and perch on one
of the cages, and one evening, when
she brought in her birds, she unawares,
brought in also the little wild visitor
perched on its favorite cage. Itshowed
no fear, and pecked the crumbs she
offered it. Evening after evening the
same bird continued to come in with
its imprisoned friend.
An empty cage with food was left
near, and in this it made its abode at
night, the door always being left open
Spring came and the sparrow few away
Then the summer passed, and with the
shortening days she returned, boldly
entering the kitchen, surrounded by a
brood of four or five little sparrows
She had come, it seemed, to greet her
old friend and introduce her treasures
to her. They all confdingly ate the
crumbs scattered for them on the
kitchen floor. Soon winter came, and
with it the sparrow again as an estab
lished ledger with board. Again the
soft breeze of a southern spring whis
pered of new nests and broods, and the
sparrow few away, but to return nc
more.-London Spectator.

THE BRAVE ELEPHANT.
Obedient and Faithful I'm the Midst of .
Fierce Fight.

In some countries in Asia an elephant
is made to carry the flag in battles.
This is because the elephant is SO tall,
and the soldiers can easily see the flag
flying from his back.
One of these elephants, which be-
longed to the Poona host, was very
brave and very kind, but he would obey
the order of no one except his mahout,
or driver.
One time, while very fierce fight
was raging, the driver called out to him:
"Stand, my brave beast, stand!" A
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1896-07-17

moment later the mahout received a
fatal wound. and fell to the ground,
where he lay beneath pile of wounded
and slain.
The obedient animal would not move,
though the battle ragged wildly around
him. The Poona soldiers, who feared
they were being overcome, were
cheered on by the sight of the flag still
floating from his back.
He never stirred q foot, and all
through the hot fight, the noise, the
smoke, the confusion, listened patient
~ for the voice of his master.
Sharp spears were hurled at him, q
score of javelins pierced his sides, his
long ears dripped with blood, but he
stood like rock.
"Come forward, my men!" cried the
Poona captain; "our flag still floats,
and the battle will yet be ours"
His men, discouraged and ready to
fly, rallied at this command, and with a
cheer for the flag pressed forward.

How a Lion Caught a Pillow.

An English officer was shooting re-
Gently in Somaliland, Africa. One night
when he was in bed, inside his tent,
lion sprang over the rough thorn
fence which had been thrown up
around the encampment. Instead of
picking up one of the men or animals,
that must have been lying about asleep
inside the fence, the beast made for
the sportsman's tent and seized him
fortunately by the hand only. Then,
by some wonderful piece of luck, as the
lion changed its grip for the mans
shoulder, it grabbed the pillow in
stead, and so vanished with its prize.
The pillow was found next morning
several hundred yards distant in the
jungle.

massage Gooo TOR neuuacn'

In many cases massage will be found
invaluable in relieving the pain of a
congestive headache. The movement
should be made with the palmar surface
of the fingers and be a vigorous one.
Begin on the top of the head and con-
tinue backward and downward to the
base of the brain. Continue the rub
bling also from the temples backward
and downward. Much and heavy rota-
ton at the base of the brain should
follow; also crosswise rubbing on the
back of the neck and stroking from the
head down back of the ears to the
shoulders, for the purpose of empty
ing the veins. Women who have ten
dency to congestive headache will do
well to dash very cold water at the back
of the neck and down the spine before
the morning bath.-N. Y. Journal.

DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,

wonderful about the Discovery" 1t
isn't miraculous. 1t won't cure every

is pretty far gone,with bad cough, and
bleeding from the lungs, and reduced al

blood disease. The lungs want fresh
supply of pure rich blood and plenty OF

1t gives the blood making functions
, power to produce large quantity OF the
