The old negro who has trained him gives him $1 and tells him to bring the change, specifying what comes he wants. Jim paying teller in bank. There is a rack on the stage bearing a number of cards upon which the names of famous men are printed-McKinley Dewey Hobson and other heroes of the war;, the Governor of the State, and so on. Jim knows every one of them and will bring any card that is called for either by his master or people In the audience.
 These are only few of his &C., complishments. He will entertain an audience for an hour by all sorts of similar tricks, one of the most remark able being the spelling of words. His repertory in this particular is limited, He has never been able to master words of more than five letters, and' does not pretend to spell words he has never heard before, but can learn any short word in three or four lessons. Such words as home, boy, girl horse, wagon, hay, oats, water and others that are found in the same category in the spelling book, Jim will spell as rapidly as an eight-year-old child.

NOT CORRECTED THREE THE FORMER QUEEN OF HAWAII.

How Liliuokalani Passed the 18th of
 August-Has Abandoned Hope of
 Restoration-Her Future Plans.
 The queen was seated on the sofa which serves her now as throne. For canopy, the royal flag of Hawaii was draped above her head. For court, there were her women facing her with sad and faithful eyes.
 Here was the story-"Hawaii's story by Hawaii's queen"-To borrow the ti- tie of Liliuokalani's book, Queen Queen Without a Throne a Flag With out Place, a Court Without a King dom. One may be as democratic as one pleases, and yet be saddened by such things as these
 The queen gave me a quiet hand Her physician was just leaving her. She smiled him thoughtfully away and turned to me.
 DO look like dying woman?" she said.
 God forbid" said I.
 '1 have received condolences" ex- plained the queen, from the states. This steamer brought me number of letters and circulars and resolutions, all very kindly intended, of course, but must say a Understanding to a person who has no immediate idea of leaving the world"
 The court giggled respectfully.
 You see, I was i'll in Washington, and the report was given out that I had cancer"
 But there Is no truth in that"
 unfortunately, there is all truth in it. replied the queen, smiling, with perfect serenity. You look surprised. Is it because I smile? You see I have a good doctor. I mean to get well. If not-T am not afraid of death. I am not even afraid of life"
 The court sighed tenderly.
 q have needed courage to live" she added. 'They say it is given to those who have to endure''
 ''Nobless oblige," I returned politely.
 The queen was pleased to smile. Is there any rank so sensitive to recogni- tion as lost rank? The ex-queen of Hawaii has an eye to little matters of this sort-a gracious or a critical eye according as you remember them or as you do not.
 50 they say" she went on. And there is something in that. l could

pices hundreds of feet in depth. The mules are, however, very sure footed and accidents seldom occur. In Chill they visited Santiago and Valparaiso and then returned by the mountain passes to Montevideo and after spend ing a few weeks in Uruguay they sailed for London.
 On the voyage they stopped at St. Vincent and there first learned of the destruction of Cerveras' fleet. The ca ble from Madrid to Havana makes a landing at St. Vincent and although there is no cable station on the island some one had managed to intercept a message from Madrid to Havana con- taining the information of the destruc- tion of the feet the day before MT. Sargent arrived there.
 MT. Sargent says that when he left Montevideo the condition of affairs in the West Indies seemed far from pleas ant and the news at St. Vincent was very thankfully received. He says that all the war news in Montevideo papers was received from Madrid. He was in Argentina when the battle of Manila Bay took place. He read in paper at Argentina that the Spanish fleet had whipped Admiral Dewey's squadron, this news having apparently been sent to Madrid when Admiral Dewey with drew in order that his men might get breakfast. He says that the people of Argentine rejoiced greatly over the news.
 After spending two weeks in London, MT. and Mrs. Sargent spent month in travelling through France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. On the trip Mrs. Sargent acted as interpreter. She speaks fluently French, German and Italian, and Spanish very well. On the trip they took twenty-one separate ocean voyages, each occupying from forty-eight hours to twenty-four days and in all traversed more than 4O,OOO Y,oi1na

A MATHEMATICAL HORSE.

One of the most interesting things at Atlantic City is a horse that can write his name and do sums in mathe- matics. The horse was brought here from Shelbyville, Tenn, by colored man named Key, who raised him, educated him and has slept in his stall every night since he was a colt He is called Jim. His dam was a fullblood- ed Arabian, which also had many accomplishments, and was exhibited with circuses and at county fairs for many years as curiosity because of his intelligence. The sire was Vol unteer, the famous Kentucky Hamble- tonian.
 Jim can do almost everything but talk. He can tell time, pick out the different colors, select any playing card that may be called for from pack, or any letter of the alphabet or any number as high as thirty. He can count, add, subtract and multiply figures. If you ask him how much six and twelve make he will bring you a card with eighteen printed upon it. If you tell him to multiply five by three he will bring you a card marked fifteen. It is not necessary for his trainer to ask the questions. Any man or woman or cbild can put him through his tricks. Of course he cannot talk, and therefore he has to answer by signs. If you tell him to rap on the floor five times with his hoof, or nine times, or twelve times, or any other number of times he will do it without the slightest hesitation. They have a street car passenger register on the stage, and be will ring up as many

THE SURGEONS KNIFE.
Once Believed to Be The Only Cure for Piles and Rec
 tai Diseases.
Better Way Now Discovered Which Cures Every Form of Piles Without Pain OF Incon-
 VPntence

Many people suffer the pain, annoy ance and other serious results from piles, for years, and after trying the many lotions, salves, ointments and many so-called cures, without cure or relief, give up the hope of final cure rather than submit to the intense pain and danger to life which a surgical op- eration involves.
 Happily, all this suffering is no long CT necessary since the discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure, remedy which is approved by the medical profession as
 being absolutely safe, free from any
 trace of opiates, narcotic or mineral
 poisons, and which may be depended upon as sure cure (not merely rellef)
 in any form of piles, whether itching,
 blind, bleeding or protruding. Some or
 the hundreds of cures recently made
 are little short of marvellous, as peru
 sal of the following will demonstrate:
 Major Dean of Columbus, Ohio says:
 I wish to add to the number of certifi-
 cates as to the benefit derived from the Pyramid Pile Cure. l suffered from piles for forty years and from itching piles for twenty years, and two boxes of the Pyramid Pile Cure has effectual- 
 ly cured me.
 Dr. J. w. Meagan, Leonardville, Kan, writes: I have used a box of Pyramid Pile Cure and received more benefit and relief than from any other
 remedy I had used in the past twenty l years.
 James Jamerson, Dubuque, Ia., says:
 I suffered from piles for six years; have just used the Pyramid Pile Cure and | am well man.
 Mrs. M. c. Hinkly, 601 Mississippi street, Indianapolis, Ind, says: Have been a sufferer from the pain and an- | noyance of piles for fifteen years;' the Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me immediate relief and in short | time a complete cure
 The Pyramid Pile Cure may be found at druggists at 50 cents and $1.00 per package. A book on cause and cure of l piles will be sent by mail by addressing | the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich.

Doctor" Key. who owns and exhibits him, says that the horse was taught these accomplishments just as one would teach them to human being. He learned to spell and to count and to add and multiply just as if he were a child. He began when he was year old, with the simplest things, like counting with his hoof upon the floor. At first it came pretty hard and re- qulred a great deal of patience. but after he had learned a few things the rest came easy, and now his memory or intellect, as the doctor calls it, is so well developed that he picks up new tricks very easily.-Atlantic City letter in The Chicago Record.

GORILlAS SELDOM SEEN.
The Animals Are Not often Found In
Captivity.

William T. Horpaday, director of the
New York Geological society, is au.
thority for the statement that the first
genuine gorilla seen alive in this coun-
try reached Boston on the I'd Of last
May, and died five days afterward from
the effects of cold caught on the voy-
age across the Atlantic. The gorilla,
says Mr.. Hornaday, is one of the rarest
animals ever showed in geological gar
dens. 1t is sullen and lymphatic in cap
tivity, and its pernicious inactivity pre-
disposes the animalto indigestion, loss
of appetite, and an early death. In con-
sequence of the infrequency with which
gorillas are captured alive, and their
obstinate refusal to harmonic with
their environment when caught, their
months of life in captivity, are, in every
case, but few. Only three or four speci-
mems have ever been exhibited in Eu-
rope. Two of these were inmates, at
different periods, of the London 200"
Two American ape-fanciers, the Ed
wards brothers, found genuine baby
gorii'i, alive and well, in Liverpool last
spring, and purchasing it brought it
at once to this country without taking
the precaution to wait for warm
weather. During the five days of its ex-
istence in this country, 1t was exhibited
in Boston. Mr.. Hornaday says that 1t
was 20 inches high, and weighed 1914
pounds. The sailors, who took 1t to
Liverpool from the Gaboon county, said
that its capture was due to an accident
to its mother, who was killed by fall
ing tree. When it was captured the
natives fed it on plantains and rice, but
on shipboard and in Boston its bill OF
fare was increased so as to include milk
dry bread, apples, oranges, figs, and
bananas. The strange little creature is
described as having been hearty eater
and quite pugnacious. Showmen have
on various occasions attempted to palm
off cheap and common dog-faced
baboons as genuine gorillas.-Scientifie

How TO Prevent "Red Nose" ana How
TO Cure IL.

to cure IL.
Nothing is n greater blemish to the
face OF woman than red nose. This
irritating condition may arise from
various causes, one of the chief being
Indigestion. A habit of bolting the food
Is very often the cause Of the indiges-
tion which shows itself thus, Sufferers
from red noses arising from Indigestion
should be most careful in their diet,
avoiding heating foods and hot drinks.
The food should be taken slowly and
each mouthful well masticated Some
times u red nose is due to dryness of
the nasal duct or delicacy of the capil-
larry organs, The Inflammation may
then be treated as follows: Prepare II
wash containing 15l grains of powdered
borax, one teaspoonful of eau de CO.
logne and five ounces of soft water
First dissolve the boraX In the water
and then add the eau de cologne, When
the nose burns, damp It with this To-
ton and let 1t dry on. If, when dry, IT
still burns, repeat the treatment. An
other mixture for the same trouble may
be made as follows:
Dissolve 30 grains of boraX in one
ounce of rose water and orange water
in equal parts. Wet the nose with this
lotion about three times a day, letting
it dry on.
When the redness of the nose arises
from kind of congestion IT should
be washed in warm water only on 60
ing to bed.
A cold in the head will often produce
red and infamed condition of the
nose. A little cold cream should then
be applied to the sore parts. The fol-
lowing Is an easily prepared and safe
recipe for cold cream. Get half pound
OF the very best lard, put it In a
basin, pour on it boiling wa
ter, and when cold drain it Off.
Repeat this process three times; then.
after quite freeing the lard from water,
beat 1t to a cream with fork and scent
II with essence of bergamot.
The nostrils should never be touched
with the fingers, To wash them lit
tie hot water should be shifted up and
then eiected.-Cincinna Commercial.

While Judge Spencer was still speech
less with surprise and Indignation the
fugitives were mounting, and before
the sheriff had made his way to the
door of the courtroom they were clat-
tering down the Watauga road, fol-
lowed by one after another of the wild,
high-pitched cheers, learned from the
Cherokees and famous in after times
as "the rebel yell"
Through the whirlwind of summer
dust which rose around the reckless
riders it could be seen that the sled
mare" on whose back Sewer had been
forced by his companions, was already
in the lead by dozen lengths, and
that she was gaining length in every
20 she covered. More than one of the
cheering "tackies" recognized her as
Sewers thoroughbred Bonnie Kate"
who, when first imported, had come
near bankrupting the habitues of every
race track in western North Carolina.
1t was fully three minutes before the
sheriff and his party of dozen depu-
ties had made their way to the 'hitch-
ing racks" which fanked the sides Of
the square. On reaching them it was
only to fird that every bride was tied
to the rack poles in doubled ard twisted
hard knots. Swearing and perspiring
with their efforts three of the sheriff $
party did manage to mount and give
chase before the fugitives were out Of
sight, and the others struggled after
them as soon as they could cut and
piece out their bride reins. But the
chase was so hopeless that its failure as
spectacle eXasperated the crowd into
yells of dersion.
The tall young man with the eelskin
cue had mounted the top of gate
which commanded view Of the road
until it disappeared around the hill a
mile from the courthouse.
"They are half mile ahead already,
and it is no race at ALL" he said. "Nd
race at all, gentlemen; no race at ALL!
They will win in a canter. II they
ever come back over the mountains to
this courthouse it will be with thou
sand men behind them. and, by the
eternal, if it is necessary to defend re-
publican principles against the British
arstocracy of North Carolina, l will
be one of the !"-Globe- Dem
