EIenhnnt md Train.

A big and ugly elephant which had
long been an object of pursuit to the
sportsmen Of the Straits Settlements
one day wandered on TO the railway
line and tried conclusions with the en-
CINE of a goods train, charging it re-
peatedly and keeping up the contest for
nearly an hour. The engine was re-
versed in the hope that the beast would
allow the train to proceed, but as soon
as there was any attempt TO renew the
journey the elephant returned to the
encounter and resumed it's obstructive
tactics. The driver was afraid to
charge the brute, lest the train should
be thrown off the rails, and the contest
might have gone on much longer had
not the elephant backed into the en-
CINE and, setting its fore feet firmly
between the rails, endeavored TO shove
the train backward with it's hind quar-
tiers.
The driver took advantage of the OPP
portunity and put on steam, gradually
forcing the beast off the line. In this
maneuver one of the wheels of the en-
CINE went over the hind legs of the
animal, which was put out of its mis-
cry by the guard of a following passen-
ger train-Science.

Look Before You Leap.

Once upon a time there was young
man who believed what the books said.
He left the farm and came to the
great city to make his fortune and to
climb the ladder of fame. The books
said great deal about the ladder Of
fame. SO the young man exercised him
self on copybook morals and poor Rich
ards almanac in order to be able TO
chin himself up round at time.
He was especially strong on run
away horses, and one day, to his graft
fication. he saw "A mad steed plunging
down the crowded street. He could
not see any fainting maiden attached,
but still he knew this was his oppor-
tunity. He sprang for the Bride but
hit the front wheel instead and was
projected with violence into the gut
ter. Six months later, when he came
out of the hospital, he was sent to the
Home For the Predetermined for try
ing to stop fire marshal in the per-
Torrance of his duty.

They TooL Their Turns.

A young man, residing In the north
ern section of the city had been calling
for some time on young woman, In
fact he thoroughly enjoyed the com
pany OF her whole family. One evening
he called and of the father who an
swered his ring he made his usual In
quiry, "Are the folks in?" He was an
swered in the affirmative and asked to
"step in"
He was ushered into the parlor, and
after the old gentleman had engaged in
conversation with him for about a
quarter of an hour he excused himself,
went out, and the eldest son next enter
ed and entertained the young man for
about a quarter Of an hour. Then an
other brother and sister, and the young
mans suspicious were somewhat
aroused when the mother took her
turn. A little sister came next, follow
ed in turn by the family eat, which
rubbed itself against the young mans
newly pressed trousers.
He gave a sigh of relief when, after
an hour spent in misery, his sweet
heart made her appearance. He begged
of her to put him next" to the joke,
and between her bursts of laughter she
informed him that "since he was try
ing TO court the whole family papa
thought they had best take turns"
1t is unnecessary to say that he failed
to see the joke and has ceased his at

InnrexifN of WhnIes.

Some light was thrown upon the sub
ject of the vitality of whales by finding
one of these animals in Bering sea in
1890 with "toggle" harpOon head in
its body bearing the mark of the Amer
lean whaler MenteZuma. That vessel
was engaged in whaling in Boring sea
about ten years, but not later than
1854. She was afterward sold to the
government and was sunk in Charles
ton harbor during the civil war to serve
as an obstruction. Hence 1t is estimat-
ed the whale must have carried the
harpoon not less than SO years.
In connection with this fact William
III. Dali gives an account in The Ma
tional Geographic Magazine Of a dis
cussion with Captain Il. l.. Herendeen
of the United States National museum
OF cases of whales that have been sup
posed to have made their way from
Greenland waters to Bering strait and
TO have been identified by the harpoons
they carried. While it is very likely
that the whale really makes the pas
sage an uncertainty must always be
allowed, for ships were often chang
ing ownership, and their tools were
sold and put on board Of other vessels,
and harpoon irons were sometimes Civ
en- or traded to Eskimos. 1t therefore
becomes possible that the animal was
struck with a secondhand iron.-Popu-

Poorness of Blood
The Cause of Exhausted Nerves
and All the Ills of Weak

Or. a. W. Chase'S
Worve and Blood Pills
MAKE RICH, RED. HEALTHY BLOOD
AND STEADY NERVES.

Let the blood get thin, weak and
vatery, and every part of the body is
exhausted for want of proper nourish-
ment. The digestive system fails to do
its duty, and there is indigestion and
dyspepsia the liver and kidneys become
clogged and inactive; there are pains In
the back, sides and limbs; headache
and neuralgia: the nerves become ex-
hausted, aud there is nervousness, sleep
lessness and irritability, female COM
plants, lassitude and dependency.
To rid the system OF these distressing
ills, caused by weak and impure blood,
there is no preparation so effective as
DIR. A. w. Chase's Nerve and Blood
Pills, the prescription of Americas
greatest physician, DIR. A. w. Chase.
DIR. A. w. Chase's Nerve and Blood
Pills increase the number of corpuscles
in the blood, and so nourish and In
vigorate the whole system. They gently
regulate the bowels, make the kidneys
and liver active, tone the stomach and
digestive system, and give new energy
and vitality to every organ OF the body.
Eminent physicians who have pre-
scribed Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve and
Blood Pills pronounce them the greatest
of restoratives for weak and impure
blood: so cents a box, at all dealers, or

he asked her what she thought of the
great critic and teacher Her ideas Of
Ruskin's personality were very vague,
however. and she excused her igno-
rance on the ground that the people
about there did not seem TO trouble

only knew him as "the old gentleman

The reason why the mechanism for
making the noises that give realism TO
n play are never seen by the audience
is because the Illusion would be COM
pletely destroyed if its operations were
exposed TO view, explains Frank Fyles
In The Ladies' Home Journal.
The noise of the waiter falling down
stairs with a tray of dishes, for in
stance, is simulated by dropping as Of
ten as necessary a basket filled with
bits of broken china, and cylinder or
silk, turned with crank, drawing the
cloth over wooden fianges, gives per-
feet rain and wind storm. A lightning
accompaniment is made by touching
an ordinary file to "A bit Of carbon, both
on live wires, and thunder by rolling
tenpin balls in long, narrow, wooden
trough.
The rumble OF the wheels of a car
rage is initiated with a vehicle like a
miniature freight car run on wooden
track, and a striking of wood or metal
on hard or soft surfaces serves to con-
vince an audience of the approach or
departure of a horse When there is
war, single shot or two Is usually
the real thing, but rifle volley effect
is obtained by rapidly beating a dried
calfskin with rattans, while heavy
strokes on the bass drum will convey
the idea of cannonading.
If this mechanism were seen in OPP
Grafton by an audience, it would make
the whole performance seem ridiculous.
