Senator Morgan's remarkable triumph
In Alabama brought to him the hearty
GO tngratulations of men of both parties.
While his campaign for the Office of

OF his State the Senator never left his

friends said that his cause was probably
lost, he calmly stood at his desk on the
floor OF the Senate. giving an exhaustive

A BIOLOGICAL DIVERSION.
An Elephant That Used to Play . Cleve

An Elephant That Used to Play . Clever
Trick on Visitors.
The elephant at the Jardin des
Plantes, at Paris, used to play his WIS.,
itors a trick, which could not have
been thought of but by an animal of
much intelligence. His house opened
upon all Enclosure called the Elephants
park, containing a pond, in which he
would lay himself under the water,
concealing every part of him except the
very end of his trunk-a mere specll
that would hardly be noticed by a
stranger to the animals habits.
A crowd would assemble around the
Enclosure, and, not seeing him in it,
would watch in expectation that he
would soon issue from the house. But,
while they were gazing about, CO.
pious sprinkling of water would fall
upon them, and ladies and gentlemen,
with their fine bonnets and coats,
would run for shelter under the trees,
looking up at the clear sky and wonder
ing whence such shower could come.
Immediately afterward, however,
they would see the elephant rising
from his bath, evincing, as it seemed,
an awkward joy at the trick that he
had played. In the course of time his
amusement became generally known,
and the moment the water began to
rise from his trunk the spectators
would take flight, at which he appeared
exceedingly delighted, getting up as
fast as he could to see the hustle he
had caused.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

sitting uprising Of dissatisfaction with
her condition. MEN rarely fall in love
with such-more rarely WOO them"
She never spoke the thought aloud, but
1t grew and strengthened until 1t re-
ceived startling blow from Mr.. With
ers' proposal of marriage.
He was a wealthy banker from a
neighboring city, whom business rela-
tions with Mr.. Romano drew to his
house and into his sisters company.
His couftship was all Mrs. Romano
could desire. His visits were not too
frequent, and were paid at stated inter-
walls, as befitted his habits of order and
punctuality. His manner to the lady
honored by his preference was replete
with stately respect that was the an
tipodes Of servile devotion, while his
Partially for her society, and admira-
ton for her person, were unmistakable.
He paid his addresses through Mr.. Ro-
maine as his fair ones guardian, offer
ing voluntarily to give his beloved
whatever time for elaboration upon the
proposal she desired.
''You had better think it over for a
week." advised her brother when he
had laid the case duly before Con-
stance. 1T is too serious matter to
be settled out of hand"
After that, neither he nor his wife
obtruded their counsel upon her until
the afternoon of the seventh day. Then
Mrs. Romano, going to her sisters
chamber to communicate the substance
Of a telegram just received by her hus-
band to the effect that Mr.. Withers
would call that evening at 8 o'clock,
was moved to grave remonstrance by
the discovery that she whom he came
to WOO had no answer prepared for
him. Constance was no nearer ready
after the conversation before recorded.
Il cannot afford to be romantic"
she had reminded herself several
times. "And who knows but this IRA
tional repugnance may pass away when
have once made up my mind to ac-
cept him? This may be-in all likeli-
hood 1t is-my last chance of achiev-
ing an Independent position. It has
been a long time coming, and my
charms will be on the wane soon. True,

much-abused figure of speech, called
his home. A snug and elegant abode
she made Of it, and, beholding Con-
stance we'll dressed and we'll fed, habit
ually cheerful and never rebellious, he
may be forgiven for not spending a
thought upon her for hours together,
and when he did remember her, for
dwelling the rather upon his disin-
terested kindness to helpless depend
ent than specializing upon her possible
and unappeased spiritual appetites.
For these, and for other WITNESSES,
Mrs. Romano had little thought and no
charity. Life, with her, was a fabric
made UP of duties, various and many,
out all double-twisted into hempen
strength and woven too closely for a
shine of fancy or romance to- strike
through.
She had conceded readily in her hus-
bands plan to take charge of his young
sister when her parents died. Her
brothers house is the fittest asylum for
her." she had said. Il shall do my
best to render her comfortable and con-
| tented"
She kept her word. Constance's ward
robe was ample and handsome, her
room elegantly furnished, and she en-
tered society under the chaperonage of
her sister-in-law. The servants were
trained to respect her; the children to
regard her as their elder sister. What
more could penniless orphan require?
Mrs. Romano was not afraid to ask
the question of her conscience and OF
heaven. Her "best" was no empty pro-
fession. 1t was lucky for her self-com-
placency that she never suspected what
years of barrenness and longing these
eight were to her protege.
constance WIS not a genius-there-
fore she never breathed even to her
self: Il feel like seed in the cold
earth, quickening at heart, and longing
for the air" Her temperament was
not melancholic. nor did her taste run
after poetry and martyrdom. She was
simply a young, pretty and moderately
well-educated woman, too sensible not
to perceive that her temporal needs
We're conscientiously supplied, and too
affectionate to be satisfied with the
meager allowance of nourishment
dealt out for her heart and sympathies.
While the memory of her fathers proud
affection and her mothers caresses
was fresh upon her she mad long and
frequent spells of lonely weeping-was
wont to resign herself in the seclusion
of her chamber to passionate lamenta-
tons over her orphanage and isola-
tior of spirit. Routine was Mrs. Ro-
! names watchword, and in bodily ex-
ercise Constance conformed to her
quiet espotism-visited, studied,
worked and took recreation by rule.
The system wrought upon her benef-
cially so far as her physique was con-
cerned. She grew from a slender, pale
girl into ripe and healthy womanhood;
was more comedy at twenty -seven than
at tWenty-one.

USES OF ICE WATER.
In Health It Should Not BE Used for
Drjnkto~ Purpose.

Drinking Purposes.
In health no one ought to drink ice
water, for it has occasioned fatal in
fammation of the stomach and bow
els, and sometimes sudden death. The
temptation to drink it is very great in
the summer. To use it at all with
safety the person should take but a
single swallow at the time, take the
glass from the lips for half minute,
and then another swallow, and so on.
1t will be found that in this way it be-
comes disagreeable after a few mouth
fuls. On the other hand, ice itself may
be taken as freely as possible, not only
without injury, but with the most strik-
ing advantage in dangerous forms Of
disease. If broken in sizes of a pea or
bean and swallowed as freely as prac-
ticable, without much chewing or
crunching between the teeth, it will
often be efficient in checking various
kinds of diarrhea, and has cured VIC.

as ice can make it, applied freely to the

miraculous relief, and If this be fol-

Millions in Tips.

1t has been calculated that the Amer
lean travellers this year will spend over
$5,0O000O in tips alone. Most Of them
will do it grudgingly, because OF all
the petty blackmail Of our advanced
civilization these gratuities are the
meanest and most provoking. At the
same time, if one is travelling and
wishes to get along comfortably he
must deal out the tidbits on every

Cabinet Pleased with outlook.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The cabinet
meeting was devoted principally to the
consideration of the Chinese situation.
After the meeting members seemed
impressed with the favorable turn
matters had taken and the prospect of
a satisfactory adjustment. The gov
eminent has received the proposals of
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
offering indemnity and guarantees for
the future and they have been accepted
in good faith. The cabinet considered
that the Chinese government in adj
uniting that it had been in the wrong
and in offering to make proper repara-
ton as well as offering to provide
against a repetition of disorders had
placed itself "a the proper position and
had opened the way to negotiations
for complete settlement. For the
present the negotiations will proceed
through Minister Conger.
