A SociabIe Young Elephant.

Three elephants trapped in the Cur
whal forest were sent for education to
the forest bungalow at Myapore, where
7 was stopping; two were full-grown,
the third was half-grown. The latter
did not evince any particular attach
ment for either of the others, and
was probably the progeny of neither.
The full-grown elephants were fet-
tered and chained to trees, the umbrage
of which they preferred to the sun
shine. In front of each sat mahout
talking to them nearly all day, occa-
sionally throwing them bits of sugar
cane. The animals, however, suiked
and were fretful, sometimes making
demonstrations of charging their ma
houts, for which they were scolded
and just pricked on their trunks with
the point OF a spear.

THE QUEST OF FORTUNE.
sure to Be Found, Says MI. Gosxleton,
II One Only Takes the
Right Road.

s'The longer live the more firmly am
convinced" said Mr.. Gozzleton, that man
who wants a fortune has got to do some
thing besides wish for it. Fortunes, large
and small, are shy, very shy. In one form
and another they are passing by all the
time, but they won't stop for the mere ask
ing, however polite and graceful and ear
nest the invitation may be. We might sit
out on the veranda from now till doomsday
and rise and bow and scrape at every one of
'em that came along and ask 'em all in, but
never one of 'em would stop. They might
want to come in, but nothing short of actual
collaring would bring 'em in. The fact is
that if we want fortune we've got to work
for it.
"Men have made fortunes, to be sure, with
out working. Oilmay spout up out the ground
one man owns and cover him with riches.
Another man may find iron ore in his land,
and so on. But such cases are so few in
number that they don't count; the chances
of our getting rich in that way are really
not worth considering If we would be rich
we must work for it. And work early and
late; all the time. Plug at it, and keep
plugging at it. There is practically no other
way.

to make the best possible use of it, stays
poor; the man that works for all he knows
how and keeps forever at it is bound to get
ahead.'-N. Y. Sun.

recovery have taken a couple of bottles

monial purely in the hope that it may
meet the eye of some poor sufferer!
MARY LINGARD, Woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla has won its way
to every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried il and
who know they were cured by the use of
the remedy. There is nothing so strong
as this personal testi m ony. 1t throws all
theories and fancies to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock of expert
ence challenging every skeptic with
positive II kno,o." Ayers Sarsaparilla
with its purifying and vitaliziug action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors. sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in a complete cure
Mary Lingard began with a bottle. and
went on to course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it. So she took a couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are tn ousands of similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

It ls not q common occurrence that a
friendly word should be the means of Civ
ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice L
carried: This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one she
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and they
bllstered my side in an effort to give me
relief. was at that time earning nv
living as q tailoress. but for five wears,
between the pain in my side and the
blisters I was in constant misery, and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however, a
friend advised me to take DIR. Ayers Sar
saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take
a regular course of it. When I first com
menced taking the Sarsaparilla nv side
was SO painful that could not fasten nv
dress, and for a time I did not get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per
severe and relief was sure to come, and
come it did. This happened, as 1 say,
thirty-six years ago. Ny liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years
I have passed through the most critical
period of a woman's life without any par
ticular trouble, and to-day, at sixty-one
years of age, am active and strong, and
able to do days work that would upset

The defensive strength of our war
establishment must always depend on
the navy. Our geographical location
renders invasion by q military forge viz
tually impossible, but to ward off
naval attacks and prevent the lombard
ment of our great sea coast CITIES we
must have coast defenses and battle
ships. In the future the United States
will not be able to maintain the isolated
position which up to this year has been
a tradition. Its varied commercial and
social interests, while its greatest pride,
are also it's greatest danger, and may
lead to complications with any one of
the powers of Europe whose aggressive
attitude may imperil American inter
ests or American honor.
The table given herewith, showing
the relative strength of the navies OF
the world, indicates that we still have
much to do in the line of shipbuilding
before we shall be among the first naval
powers, but a fair beginning has been
made and no one can doubt that we
shall in time occupy the place rightful-
ly ours.

short time; and the three great battle
ships Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin
are rapidly advancing to the launching
state. These vessels are sister ships,
exactly alike in construction and arma-
ment, and will be the most effective
floating forts in existence. Their length
on load water line is SOS feet; normal
displacement, 1885 tons; load dis
placement, ~, $50 tons; maximum in
dictated horse power, 10000; speed, 16
knots; complement, 400. Main bat
teries will consist of four 13-inch
breech-loading rifles, supplementary by
II six-inch rapid fire guns. The 13-inch
guns are mounted in two barbette tow
ers of 15-inch Harveyized steel. Each
of these guns fires hardened steel shot
of !, 100 pounds, with an impulse of 3d.
e27 foot tons. While the navies of sew
eral European countries contain bat
tleships of greater dimensions, yet
these new American destroyers will
have superior powers of offense and de-
tense, owing to more advanced con-
struction and more modern arma-
ment.
1t is evident that within ten years

France. The ships now in course of
construction, under an act of congress
passed in 1896, were not to have been
completed for some years, but circum-
stances made hurry imperative, and
they will probably be ready for active
service within IL months. AT the same
time work is to be begun on the fleet
authorized by the present congress,
which is to consist of three battleships
OF the first class, one to be called the
Maine; six torpedo boat destroyers, six
torpedo boats and one gunboat for the
great lakes, to take the place of the OBJ
solete Michigan. Everything, in short.
points to the quick establishment of
great modern naval power which, in
point of effectiveness, is destined in
time to surpass that of Great Britain
even.
