Elephant Flesh an African Delicacy.

Elephant Flesh an African Deltc8cy.
The flesh of the elephant is eaten in
it's entirety by several of the African
tribes A detail Of the process of butch
ering the animals is not pleasant read
ing. The tools used are the assagai and
Ratchet. The rough outer skin is first
removed in large sheets. Beneath this
is a suboutiole, pliable membrane,
from which the natives make water
skins. The elephant yields large guam
titles of fat, used in cooking the ma
tives' sun dried biltong, or dried strips
of the elephants flesh, and also in the
preparation Of vegetables. African ex-
plorers of the Caucasian race agree that
one part of the elephants carcass, when
properly cooked, is succulent dish
that will regale the most delicate taste.
This part, very strangely, is the first
joint of the leg below the knee, which
.one would suppose to be the toughest
portion Of the animal. To prepare the
joint hole three feet deep is dug in
the earth, and the sides of it are baked
hard by means of large live GOALS Most
of the Goals are then taken out, and the
elephants foot is placed in the rude
oven. The hole is then filled with dirt,
tightly packed, and blazing fire is
built on top, which is kept replenished
for three hours. The foot is thus evenly
baked, and when done, instead of
strong, tough meat fiber, it is of a ge-
latinous consistency that may be eaten
with spoon.-Philadelphia Lancet.

The Man Told, and Yet the Professor was

Professor B - who conducts the

very nervous and easily irritated man.

when teacher and students were we'll

doctor, and he proceeded to emphasize
some previous remarks concerning the
influence of occupation upon nervous
conditions, which point he proposed to
illustrate in the case to be presented.
The patient, an awkward Swede,
having been hustled into chair, was
now confronted by Professor b,
with the admonition to be brief and &C.

By this time the students were grin

poor Swede.

The company of one of the opera

had arrived at Liverpool to embark for
a continental tour. The musical instru-
ments were being shipped with the rest,
and among them was the double bass,
or "big fiddle" as it is also called, not
cased as usual, for this member of the
string family will stand little rough
treatment.
It soon attracted the attention Of the

round, scrutinizing it with keen inter-
est. By the order of an officer they soon
dispersed, but not long afterward an
other bluff seaman was discovered Sc
cretly watching it with wondering eyes

UNNECESSARY HERoISM.

A Connecticut Mans Experience with .
.5 Substitute Bathtub.
One of the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coolest
sweat out on mans brow and ever
after remain with him as constant
source Of mirth occurred to a Shelton
merchant. He thought he would take a
bath, and as his fiat is minus one Of the
chief requisites for the job-a bathtub
he extemporized one out of small
washtub and enjoyed a cooling ablu-
tion. #S
He had just concluded and stepped
from the tub for the towel, when sud-
denly the top hoop of the tub burst with
sharp report, and the man saw to his
horror that the whole contents of the
tub would soon be flooding the floor. At
the same moment he thought of the
store beneath and the amount of dam
age the water would do as it ran down
through the ceiling. He is man Of
quick thought, and in moment he did
the only thing possible threw himself
down beside the tub and. clasping his
arms around it, held the already fast
swelling slaves together He was sue
cessful in keeping the water in-but
what situation! He dared not yell, for
he was hardly in condition to receive
callers, especially as he knew that all
in the block at the time were Of the
gentler sex, and he realized at once that
the only thing left for him was to stay
in that position until the return Of his
wife, who was out on shopping expe-
dition. .... -
Like the boy who saved Holland, he
manfully remained in his most uncom-
Portable position until relief in the
shape of his wife appeared. Then, to cap
the climax, when he asked her to get a
rope or any old thing to tie about the
tub, she, after long fit Of uncontrolla-
BILE laughter, asked him why he didn't
carry tub and contents out to the sink
room and pour out the water. With a
look that froze the smile on her face he
did as she said and without word dom
ned his clothing and wandered out into
the cold, unfeeling world, crushed
and Inundated man.-Ansonia Senti-

THEM !
MINERAL WATERS.

Why and How They Benefit Those That
Drink Them. H.
When a patient reaches a mineral
water health resort, he is examined by
the resident physician and ordered to
drink certain quantities of the water at
certain times during the day. These are
increased from day to day until the
maximum quantity needed is reached.
He is ordered to drink one or two glass
fuls upon rising, two or three glasses
between breakfast and dinner, the same
quantity in the afternoon and couple
of glasses before going to bed. The pa
tient is urged to take it whether he
wants it or not. He may say that he is
not thirsty, but that makes no differ
ence; he must take it as medicine.
The quantity is increased until we have
known 80 glasses per day to be taken.
A part Of the benefit derived is be-
cause of the rest and change of scene.
A part, perhaps, is from the small
quantity of the salts and other bases
contained in these waters 1--WE are not
speaking of cathartic or chalybeate wa
ters), but the benefit from this source is
very slight. The secret of the cure is in
the quantity Of water taken. If the wa
ter be pure, free from organic matter,
and taken in sufficient quantity, the re-
suits will be substantially the same, re-
CARELESS Of the traces of lithia and
small quantities of sodium chloride and
other salts. You Can perform these
cures at home with the ordinary drink
ing water, if of good quality, if you
will require the patient to take it in
the same quantity as at the springs. 1t
is very easy to add lithia if desired, but
you must not lose sight of the fact that
the quantity of water (not lithia) taken
is the important thing It acts by food
ing the kidneys, by washing out the
bladder with copious, bland and dilute
urine, by unclogging the liver and
clearing the brain. The patient feels
better from day to day; he is better.
Irritable bladder is relieved, the kid
neys act freely-are washed out''-
and many effete substances are carried
out with the food. This clears the way
for the liver to act freely and normally,
for there is an intimate relation be-
tween the liver and kidneys. New

THE CRATER OF RAINIER.

Experiences Of . Night on the Summit of
tho Weird Mountain.
Throwing off the lifo line, which had
become almost an intolerable burden,
scaled the pile Of bare rocks and gained
the rim Of the crater. The great bowl
within was deeply filed with snow, but
the black circle forming its rim could
be distinctly traced. Descending the in
ner slope for about 100 feet, I found a
place where steam was issuing from a
crevice in the rocks and warmed my
benumbed fingers. Soon my companions
joined me, and we took refuge in one
Of the many caverns that the heat Of
the rocks and of the escaping steam
had melted in the lower portion Of the
snow and ice partially filling the crater
In these weird caverns one may descend
far beyond the light Of day. The white
vapors drifting silently through the
dimly lighted passages assume grotesque
shapes and suggest to the imaginative
visitor that spirits of the time when
Pluto's reign was supreme there make
their homes. -@..

the cracks from which steam was issu-
ing we soon had water enough with
which to prepare tea. In the absence of
sugar and cream a little alcohol from
the supply brought for fuel was added
to each cup and proved a welcome
stimulant. Making ourselves as COM
Portable as possible under the circum-
stances, we passed the night in the cav
ern Of ice. There were no lodges broad
enough to lie down on, and we were
forced to stand or crouch against the
hot rocks all night. The floor of our
cavern sloped steeply and led down to
an ugly opening Of unknown depth be-
tween the descending roof of ice and
the rocks. To guard against accidents,
the life line was stretched across the
cavern and made fast to crags. This
proved wise precaution, as we were
able during the night to walk up and
down with the rope in our hands and
avoid the stiffness and discomfort that
come from remaining long in one posi-.

PESSlMISTlC VIEWS
An English Newspaper Predic.s Another
Occurrence as That of the SOS to Be
Brought on by Monopolies.

london, July 27.-The Daily Chronicle
this morning devotes an editorial to the
dismissal of Prof. E. b. Andrews from
Brown university, which action the ar
ticIe regards as the most serious blow
the capitalist oligarchy has struck at So
ciety and free institutions in America.
The article says: mo doubt that, like
Prof Bells who was dismissed from the
University of Chicago, Prof. Andrews
was dismissed because he warmed his
countTymen against the growth of great
monopo.ies 1t seems certain that a com
fiict rs approac ching that will shake the
unforJ as 1T was shaken by. the great
slavery question. 1t looks as though the
splendid millionaire endowments of
American universities had the worthy
motive of the promotion of the interests
of the monppolies. We anticipate
great wave of opinion against the pre-
tensions of the monopolist class as dam
geroils to the cause of freedom This
movement viii lead to The substitution of
public for private control and ownership
of the big trusts and monopolies and the
substitution of state for private colleges
