Pig-IrOn For China.

The Chinese have recently become
extensive purchasers of Philadelphia
made pig-iron, the demand for which
has heretofore been supplied by the
English, Germans and Belgians. A
consignment of the above iron is now
being taken on board the British ship
Perseverance at this port for shipment
TO Shanghai. She will not take out
full cargo, owing to the "dead-weight"
character of the shipment, but will fill
the remaining part of her cargo space
with refined petroleum and miscel-
laneous materials. Besides this, the
iron will act as stiffening for the YES
sci on her long run to the Far East.
Instead of taking stone as ballast, the
iron will serve that purpose, and thus
the expense of loading and discharging
the ballast will be done away with, and
the vessel will earn freight charges on
what heretofore has been a dead loss
to every sailing vessel.

HinIOO Pursuit of n TreaHure

The following incident occurred re-
Gently in one of the largest hotels in
Calcutta. 1t appears that about a
week ago an officer of the Gordon
Highlanders arrived in town on his
way home. He had large sum of
money with him-about 1000 rupees
and the usual jewelry of an English
gentleman. These were all locked in
one of his trunks. Returning from
the dining saloon to his room the other
evening, he was just in time to see
some suspicious-lookin natives bolt
ing down the corridor. On entering
his room he found, on examination.
that all his trunks had been forced
open and the contents thrown about;
but, strange to say, not piece of his
money was missing nor any item of
jewelry. He believed that the burg
lars were Afridis, and the object of
their cupidity copy of the Koran be-
longing to the Mad Mullah, which they
somehow learned was in his possess
sion. The book was rolled I'D in an
old singlet and thus escaped the
searchers. who appear to have tracked
the officer from the front.

1t is the intention of the Park Com

wandering about the knobs and hills,
will add to the picturesque beauty Of

From the Philadelphia Record.
While many of our best women are
wrestling with the the water problem
one of them has quietly come to the
rescue of thirsty souls in the Seventh
ward with ice and filtered water. The
donor is Miss Rebecca Coke, OF West
Spruce street, and the need and appre-
citation of this noble charity was demon
strated as soon as it had been complet-
ed, for crowds besieged the gliStening
faucet, which. with its two tin cups, is
mounted on the white stone at the front
of the Seventh Ward Charity Organiza-
tion, No. 1910 Lombard street.
Already is the marble wearing away
from the constant using of these tin
cups. A better place could not have
been hit upon, for sizzling crowds in
habit the surrounding courts, not to
mention the steady stream of ira ffic;
teamsters and deliverymen go squares
out of their way to drink of this cool,
clear water.

hard it is to get drink of water, the

WHY ELEPHANTS FEAR MICE
Nesembles q Little Animal Which
Causes Death In the Jungle.

NssembIes q Little Animal Which
Causes Death IN the Jungle.
1t seems incredible that so small and
harmless an animal as a mouse is
able to frighten all elephant almost
out Of his senses. One little mouse in
the hay on which they are feeding
will stampede an entire herd. In their
native land there are little animals,
known as chacanas, which feed on
pmall, sour berry of which elephants
are very fond. They live in settle
ments, something after the manner Of
prairie dogs, under the berry bushes.
When feeding the elephants trample
the little towns, and the chacanas, in
their fright, run up the tubes Of the
elephants trunks. Their long, sharp
claws catch in the flesh and they can
not be elected. The more violently
the monster blows through it's coiled
trunk the more firmly the hooked
claws of the little animal become i'm
bedded in the flesh. Inflammation and
death are the result. In captivity the
elephants think they are in danger Of
the deadly chacanas when they see a
mouse.
