Food and Avoid Drugging.
 One who can arrest the progress of disease by discovering the cause and removing it before it has gone too far is to be congratulated.

than tear down the reputation which he had acquired. He began by reading the sketch entitled "The Philosopher in the Apple Orchard" in which a girl tries and fails to make distraught student comprehend that she loves him. The dainty, quizzical and albeit pathetic dialogue was delivered incisively with out elocutionary pretenson, and the lis- teners were well entertained by it. Next came the real test and risk, because 1t consisted of the farewell scene between the mock king and the princess in "The Prisoner of Zenda," as originally writ ten in the book, and substantially as embodied in the familiar melodrama. He did not fail with it, and there was hearty applause when he was done. After that he dropped off In merit with passage from "The Heart of Princess Osra," but rose to a satisfactory finish with two of "The Dolly Dialogues" to the delicate humor and sharp satire of which he gave excellent expression.

COMING.

For the first three days next week the management of the Grand opera house will present Jerome's "Black Crook Extravaganza" company. This organization is claimed to be the most elaborate as we'll as the most extrava- gant burlesque company in existence. The costumes and scenic achievements and the electrical effects are among the most magnificent ever displayed in a vaudeville theater, while the artists composing the company are talented and meritorious performers who have gained prominence by their exceptional ability to entertain. The entertainment begins with a musical farce entitled Americans in London" which serves to introduce the entire company.
 In "The Real Widow Brown" a young man, by a clever disguise, for a time impersonates the real widow, and the events following are screamingly funny. There are also fetching cos tunes, graceful dancing, and taking music. The popular comedian, Perkins D Fisher, late of "A Cold Day." heads the company, which will be at the Grand the last half of next week.

rLEPnANr NOT CLEVER.

English Writer.

The elephant possesses very charms
inc characteristics and makes very
pleasant companion. For one thing. he
is not easily mislaid. and he is very ohe-
dent to the slightest hint given by his
mahout, says London Sketch. In speed
he is scarcely record-breaker, but he
can get over the ground in his shut
fling way at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour when he likes. There Is one thing
that he is not--he is not really cley-
er animal in spite of all the tales in the
story books to the contrary, other
wise he would not suffer himself to be
so easily captured in the khed-
dahs, the huge forest inclosure
into which the hunters drive
the herds of elephants for the
purpose If capture. All the actions
which are apparently spontaneous on
the part of the working elephant are
really performed at the bidding OF the
mahout. The driver on his neck di-
reefs every movement BY pressure OF
the knee. and as the mans knees are
concealed under the elephants ears It
is very easy TO imagine that the ele-
plant thinks for himself. When the
mahout elects, for change. to sit on
the saddle. or pad, he drives with his
feet, and the dullest eye can detect how
a rub OF the heel on the right shoulder
turns the elephant to the left and vice
versa. After his tractability, his gem
tleness is the elephants most marked
characteristic. The mahout takes
cruel advantage of his disposition
sometimes: he thrashes him on the
toenail with billet OF wood. or-if free
from risk of discovery by his Euro
pean master pricks his trunk with q
spear till blood flows. An elephant
has rarely been known to retaliate,
save when it must; when that curl
Gus madness comes on him, no one dare
approach him in his pickets. In SUI
