4 sometimes send in bills a half dozen

If any of his debtors gave the subject a
thought, il was only to observe that the
man really could not need the money-any
one who had a shop in Fifth avenue could
afford to wait. But as this tradesman
could not afford to wait, he got off the
avenue, and if his present patronage lacks
something of the glamor of his Fifth ave-
nue. trade he is more than compensated
by the increased proportion of cash sales.
Florists, milliners, and other tradespeo-
pie tell the same story-"Don't try to do
business on the avenue unless you can af-
ford to wait indefinitely for the payment
of your bills"
While it is eminently desirable to have
the patronage of the rich, those tradesmen
who pursue their calling more humbly can
console themselves with the reflection that
their troubles and anXieties are proper

ABBO
On Headaches.
Cases That Have BaffIed the Skill Of
Eminent Physicians Cufed by Ab-
bO'S New Electrical Process.

There are few people who have not sur
fered at some time from headache and its
accompanying disorders. 1t is safe to es-
innate that fully 30 per cent. of people
are sufferers from this disorder to a more
or less degree. No complaint is as an
noying, none so distressing, and although
in many cases apparently of simple ma
lure. none so obstinate to the powers OF
medicine and so battling to the skin of the
medical profession.
AS a result OF this hundreds of people
have suffered year after year without OBJ
tanning the slightest relief. Their mem
tai faculties have been destroyed, their
health undermined and their physical de-
yelopment dwarfed from the continuous
attacks of migraines TO which they been
subject. Minds and intellects' have been
destroyed, crimes have been committed,
delirium has been made a common dis
case, madness of no unusual occurrence
and suicide made a ready relief by this
harrassng afilction. No class of sufferers
so madly seek relief as do the sufferers
from headache. Fortunes have been
spent in vain by the rich. while the last
cent of the poor sufferer is spent an an
effort to obtain cure
The medical profession dislike such
eases. Their efforts to cure have in so
many instances resulted fruitessly that
they are not sanguine of success In any
such cases that they undertake
For this reason AbbO has made a study
of diseases of this nature and in all such
he has been phenomenally successful.
Cures have been made after years of suf-
fering and when all hopes had been aban-
doned BY Abbo's remedies The wrecked
mind has been restored and the morose
and melancholy victim of headache and
nervousness has been made happy and
joyful.
The Abbo Medical and Surgical Institute
has had hundreds of letters from patients
who have been under the Abbo treatment
for this class of complaints, and all of
which prove that they have discovered a
positive cure for all diseases arising from
migraines.
The following is taken from a letter
written by MIR. A. l.. Slocum of Bruns-
wick Ga. who has been under The Abbo
treatment short time. Mr.. Siocum had
suffered for years, during which he had
spent hundreds of dollars, but was una
bile to secure any relief.
Brunswick, Ga, Dec 29-To the Abbo
Medical and Surgical Institute. ia Liberty
Street, West, Savannah, Ga.-Gentlemen:
l finished the last medicine about ten days
| ago and have been watching for any
/ symptoms or feelings of headache since.

! have no trouble after this. With many
| thanks for the relief your have given me,

Cost of Elephants.
From DC Geographical Jour

From the Geographical Journal
1t Is somewhat interesting to compare the
weights carried by elephants in the tin pro-
ducing districts of the Malay peninsula
with those used in the long journeys and
mountainous country of the Lao states. In
the peninsula the distances are seldom
more than at most three or four days
march, and the elephant Is expected TO car
ry as much as $50 or loo pounds, besides
his mahout and howda The latter is Of
ten a mere brace of panniers, slung to-
gether so as to rest one on each side of the
backbone, and covered sometimes with
light barrel roof of bark. good tusker
carrying nine and a half hundred-Weght
will fetch about f56, and female which
can bear eight hundredweght is worth
about AS. In the Lao states, where jour
neys of ten days or three weeks are fire.
quent the average weight hardly exceeds
300 pounds or one-third of what Is usual
in the peninsula. The prices in various
parts of the country vary considerably.
When we were on the Nc Having and In
Muang Nau. in 1893, good tusker could
be had for 1872 and a female for ga: at
Chleng Mai where good teak hauling ele-
plants are in great demand, a tusker may
fetch i1J0 and female anything from $50
to 100, according to her strength and abil-
lily.
In the Siamese Malay states there are
probably about a thousand domesticated
elephants all told, and in the Lao country
probably over two thousand animals are
working a the present moment That these
animals breed in captivity in Siam is due
to the fact that a large number of them
spend the greater part of their time holi-
day making in the jungle. When there is
no work for his beast, the mahout takes
him out 10 a nice, cool, green bit of forest
and leaves him there to enjoy himself.
There is no expense connected with his
keep, for he looks after himself. He has
a hobble of rattan around his feet to dis
suade him from wandering too far. and a
wooden bell around his neck by the tone
of which the mahout or his little boy can
always find him, when they go out once a
month to look him up and give him some
bananas.

Cost of Firing Big Guns.

"A correspondent calculates that since
the estimate for the cost of firing a round
from big modern gun is $1,000 and ], 500
shots were fired at the forts of Santiago in
one day, the bombardment cost the coun-
try 81, 100000. This calculation is detective
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. The
figure, 81 900, applied only to the 13-lnch
guns. The cost of firing the and 6-inch
guns would be much less. The l. 100
pound cast-steel shell of 13-inch gun
used against armored battleships costs
about 500. The ordinary shell. fired at
unarmored ships and forts, costs much
less. OF course, the so pounds of powder
behind the shell enters into the reckoning;
but the remainder of the $1,000 is obtained
by dividing up the original cost Of the gun
between the theoretical number of dis
charges which it could bear In the Brit
ish navy where huge guns, after about 100
discharges, begin to sag at the muzzle, the
calculation was fairly accurate. but since
our guns show an entirely different 'life,s

GREEEVILLE TOUGHS AGGRESSIVE
TheyA Annoy Pedestrians and Cyclcrs
and Do Not Fear the Police.

There are a number of gangs of young
toltghs who infest the G~reenville section
of this city and the police for some time
ave been trying to break them up. On
one or two occasions their efforts have
been successful, but there yet remains
enc or two gangs which should be dis
persed. Nightly a gang of young toughs
c~ongregate in the vicinity of Ocean and
Walker avenues and make life miserable
for pedestrians. Many people are forced
to put up with insults and foul language
owing to the scarcity of police.
Another crowd of young loaferS meet
on Old Bergen Road. near Gator avenue,
but the police have been unable to catch
any of the offenders. The police only
last week succeeded in rounding up a
gang OF toughs who were in the habit of
annoying residents on Stevens avenue.
The Boulevard in the vicinity Of Green
Vile Schuetzen Park is q pot to be
avoided after dark by timid people. Not
only pedestrians suffer but cyclists as
well.
This place has borne a bad name for
some time past and the young loafers
still live up to it by resortfng to all sorts
of low tricks in order to annoy both Pc
destrians and cyclists. It is about time
the police put a stop to these practices.
but the scarcity of policemen is well
known to the toughs and they appear
not to be in the least afraid.
