SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to
healthy yigor Is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Seld for SOC or

SPANKING AN ELEPHANT.

In India One Animal Ia Made to Pun
ish Another.
Did you ever see an elephant spanked?
Scarcely, for they don't do such things
in this country. But they do in India.
Capt. Martin, of the British army, sta
toned at Campbellpore, vouches for
this story. Elephant Abdul (No. 15)
was on trial for killing his keeper, Syce
Ramboucles, by picking him upby the
legs and crushing his skull against q
tree.
The president Of the court-martial
was Mai. Cameron, of the Thirty-fourth
Hagras native infantry. He read the
charge and then witnesses proved that
Abdul was guilty as charged. The
president then sentenced the culprit to
20 lashes and to two years imprison-
ment.
Two elephants led Abdul 10 an open
space and in the presence Of the whole
battery the punishment began. The
culprit trumpeted in fear and made an
unearthly noise.
There were IA elephants on one side
and the officers and men of the bait
terry on the other three. In the center
of this hollow square stood Lalla (No.
~, the flogger, and the prisoner. The
latter was chained by the four legs to
as many heavy iron pegs, and could not
move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an Inn
mense cable chain. When all was ready,
the major gave the word, and down
came the chain with a resounding
whack. Abdul roared for all he was
worth. Fifty times was the operation
repeated, and then Abdul was taken to a
compound, where he remained pris.

Defects OF Women's Beauty" is tho
title OF a book by Baron Rudolf Won
Larisch, in which the author agrees
with Schopenhauer in his denunciation
of those who find comeliness in the
"undergrown. small shouldered, big
hipped and short legged sex. How
much more grateful to the clear eye Of
art should be the noble proportions OF
the properly developed man. argues the
baron. By numerous measurements he
proves to his own satisfaction that, geo.
metrically, the female form is failure
and that the male form is a success.
Women themselves have shown since
the days of Eve in the garden, the baron
says, that they appreciate their inferior
ity in this respect. They have concealed
their limbs i'll flowing garments, reach
ing sometimes to the knee sometimes
TO the ankles, sometimes to the feet,
but always far enough to hide from man
the defects in their proportions. They
now not only conceal their proportions
to large extent, he says but they al
ways seek 10 alter them, moving their
N''HN uP VI tONh NAbh Stag SiuNN1thS
in their natural figures here and build
ing them out there, and not scorning
hoopskirts, bustles and crinoline in or
der to make themselves look as little az
possible as nature made them.
The ballet girl would seem to con-
found part of the baron's argument, but
he does not yield to this apparent def
ance of his logic. He contends that
woman dares to expose her defects in
tights "only when she summons to her
aid the most effective means of benumb-
ing the intellect of man. P" The baron
seems to feel however, that he is in a
losing fight, for he adds: But most Of
the men of our times have ceased to
perceive the defects of female beauty
Woman has deceived and misled her ad-
mirers so many generations with her
smooth, long gowns that only few,
educated by research and by constant
practice in measuring the proportions Of
the female form, fully clothed, have
gained that clear, unbiased view which
enables them to appreciate how skillful-
ly woman has carried out the delusion
as to her figure. San Francisco Argo-

Walking to Health.

When there is no organic weakness
which is aggravated by the exertion, ii
is the easiest and pleasantest thing to
walk right into health. OF course, there
is no virtue in a dawdling walk. The
slow and languid dragging Of one foot
after the other. which some people call
walking, would tire an athlete; it ut
terly exhausts weak person, and that
is the reason why many delicate people
think they cannot walk. To derive any
benefit from the exercise il is necessary
to walk with light, elastic step, which
swings the weight of the body so easily
from one leg to the other that its weight
is not felt, and which produces healthy
glow showing that the sluggish blood
is stirred to action in the most remote
veins. This sort of walking exhilarates
the whole body, gives tone to the nerves
and produces just that sort of healthful
fatigue which encourages sound. restful
