challenged any one to show that the pen

MIRACLES In go me.
The Wonderful Progress Made within the
Past Few Years,
Diseases That Our Mothers Thought Incurabe Now
Cured by Paine's Celery Compound

1t is difficult, almost impossible, to over
estimate the importance of recent advances
in medicine and su gerry.
In surgery there is the application of the
X-ray in de ermining complicated fractures.
In medicine there is the serum treatment
for germ diseases, and more important still
the extended use of Paine's ce cry COM
pound in the treatment of the many dis
eases that arise from faulty or impaired
nervous system.
This class of ailments causes more suffer-
ing and earlier deaths than all others, and
that is why so much public prominence was
at once given to Paine's celery compound
when its discovery was first announced by
Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth college.
The rapid and sure way that Paine's
celery compound cures neuralgia, rheuma-
tism and nervous debility is marvellous
even in the eyes of this wonder working
quarter of the century.
Ancient miracles were contrary to natural
laws, whereas the remarkable power of
Paine's ceery compound to make people

No Idea of Music.

Colonel Burr, of Virginia, was a
mighty fox-hunter, and loved the sport
beyond words. He owned a fine pack
of hounds, and, during the season,
thought of nothing but his hunters, his
dogs. and the weather. He was once
entertaining an army friend from Tex
as. whose ideas of hunting any animal
involved the use of firearms, and who
had never seen foX-hound. He had
been with difficulty persuaded to go
forth one morning with the colonel and
some friends to a meet, and they were
waiting impatiently for the hounds to
take the scent. Presently there burst
upon their listening ears the din of thir-
ty canine voices in full cry. The col
onePs eyes cleaned, and, as he settled
his feet in the stirrups and stretched
his arm toward the yelping pack, he
cried: ''Major, listen to that heavenly
musicv' The major pricked up his
ears for a second or two, and then re-
nlied: 81 can't hear a thing. Those
dogs are making such a noise" The
colonel put his spur savagely into his
horses side and dashed away, leav-
ing his guest to his own devices.

ELEPH ANTS IN INDIA.
No One AlIo-ed to Shoot Them Without
Special Permission.

No One Allo.7 to Shoot Them Without
Special Permission.
Nobody may shoot an elephant, says
the London Telegraph, on the Anna
mule or Tipperah hills Or anywhere else
throughout India and Ceylon without
permission unless it be a "rogue, !"
or plainly dangerous and destructive.
The capture Of the wild elephant and
his careful training are things carried
rut under an admirable and scientific
system which gives to the administra-
ton in all it's branches and to the native
courts superb staff of massive and
faithful servants, the commissariat and
artillery elephants.
Although they will seldom or never
breed in captivity, the grand creatures
are easy to keep and manage, Invaluable
for many special purposes, and at their
demise whatever tusks they may carry go
to the worlds stock Of ivory. The older
it is the better generally its quality. But,
in any case, how senseless it seems to ex.
tirpate the living source of this beauti-
full commodity, as the reckless hunters
and ignorant native chiefs and mer-
chants are still allowed to do in central
Africa! When shall we see the govern
ments Of these various regions sensible
enough to perceive and proclaim that
live elephants are very much more valu-
able even commercially than dead ones,
and that the preservation of these state
ly and serivceable animals shall be
henceforward fixed policy for African
benefit?
1t has been truly remarked that di-
rectly the native and foreign hunters
are convinced that one live elephant is
worth dozens of tusks they will be as
keen to preserve the animal as they now
are to exterminate him. We might plead
earnestly, even upon the ground of es-
theticism and natural science, for the
protection in future Of the noble beast,
whose majesty and tranquility of mien
so we'll become his silent haunts and
philosophic, harmless existence. The
ears of those, however, who massacre
the innocent giant to cut from him 20
or 80 pounds of material for paper
knives and shoe horns would be closed
to such remonstrances. The best hope of
all who understand the value Of the ell
ephant for Africa is that even the most
ruthless of his assassins may come to
learn that they are destroying their own
markets. The rest is for official authori-
ties to do. But certain it is that if de-
cided measures be not promptly taken
there will be no elephants to save and,
we shall see in another continent the
shameful human sin and folly perpe-
trated which has stripped America of
every free living vestige of her noble
droves of bison.

that any such nerves exist. They do not
know that nothing goes on in any part of
the body that every other part does not
instantly "know Of" The closeness of
this sympathy is familiarly illustrated by
headaches, indigestion, rheumatism, neu-
ralgla, etc. About every case of sleepless-
ness, nervousness and dyspepsia is a
sympathetic strike by BRAIN reryes or
stomach induced by the lowering of the
general health.
People who think to get rid of these trou-
bleS by some medicine that disregards the
general health of the BODY are on the wrong
track. In getting such diseases as neuralgia
and rheumatism out of the system Paine's
celery compound proceeds at once to re-
store normal appetite and regulate the
nerves, as the foundation for building up
the health and vigor.
1T regulates the bowels without delay,
and sees to it that the poisonous humors
that are bursting through the skin,
In what are, for purposes of classifying
called skin diseases, are given a ready
outlet. On this basis of purified blood and
re9u ated nerves the permaDent cure Of
every form of blood diseases, such as ecze-
ma, salt rheum, bad complexion, is now
Ssuret by this really wonderful remedy.
Ii the reader of this is not in perfect
health let him simply try a first bottle of
Paine'S celery compound and carefully

For Advertising Purposes.

Experiments have lately been made
in Switzerland with a view to putting
the beautiful lakes of that country to
some practical account.
Hitherto these waters have been ad-
mired merely because of their natural
beauty, but now some enterprising
business men have devised a scheme
by which they may be made useful for
advertising purposes.
The plan is to paint the words of
the advertisement in big white letters
on a black background.
When sunk and securely held at the
bottom of the lake, the advertisement
is perfectly legible, the reelection of the
light on passing through the water
bringing the words near the surface.
1t is announced that hitherto the eX-
periments that have been made have
been very successful.

The Familiar Stable Call Brought the
Stampeding Horses Back.

The Familiar Stable Call Brought the
Stampeding Horses Back.
The editor of Thierfreu relates the
following story of his own personal ex-
perience of the sagacity of military
horses In the year 1879, during skir-
mish with the Sioux Indians, "the
Third cavalry regiment had formed an
encampment in a valley on the southern
border of Dakota. At nightfall the
horses were tethered by long line to
the ground. Toward daybreak violent
storm of rain and hail burst over the
valley. The terrified animals broke loose
from their fastening, and III their fright
tore away up the steep sides Of, the val
ley into the territory of the enemy.
Without horses, at the mercy of the en-
emy, We should be lost. Yet it was i'm
possible, in the half darkness, to go
after them into an unknown country,
probably full of Indians. The captain,
as last resource, ordered tho stable
call to be sounded. In few minutes
every horse had returned to the encamp-
nent. and we were saved. -
A gentleman who was finished mu-
sician resided some years ago at Darn
stadt and kept dog, which was the ter
ror of all the singers and Instrumental
lists i'll the place, for it had the fatal
habit of raising its face to heaven and
bowling whenever false note was
emitted. 1t never made mistake. and
well known singers were said to trem BILE
when they saw their unwelcome judge,
seated by his masters side, at concerts
or at the opera, for Max was a regular
first nlghter and great friend of the
theater director. He was never known
to miss new opera. Max was no re-
specter Of persons, and when the sing
ing was but shade out he would at
tract the attention of the whole audi
ence to 1T with a terrific howl. One tenor
went SO far as to refuse to sing unless
the dog was removed, bat Max was so
great a favorite with the Darmstadt
public and such we'll known frequent
er that the singer might as well have
requested to have the director himself
removed from the stalls, and he was
obliged to give in with as good grace
as possible. The dogs master stated
that he had trained him when he was
quite puppy, and by the time he was
years old the dog was as good a judge
as his master of false note. Boston
