Railroad Men for Mckinley.

Bryan and the poDemocratic party
have been claiming the railroad vote this
year, especially out in Kansas. On the
train going to Topeka few days ago the
conductor, brakeman and engineer were
all found to be enthusiastic Republicans.
Station agents along the line were also
found to be faithful Republicans and
working among their railroad friends for
Mckinley. Bryan at any rate won't get
the whole railroad vote.

Dress and Complexion.

From the Boston Herald
If you wish to dress well you must study
the complexion. The method to tone down
any tint that is excessive in the face is to
bring a strong color of the same tone in
close proximity to it; although even this
rule Is not always to be followed, as, If the
complexion be very red, a dark red dress
would probably heighten it's color
Dark compilations, with sallowness in
them, are considerably modified and i'm
proved by the juxtaposition of yellow. yell
low is most becoming shade for nearly
all brunettes.
Fair women with light hair and blue
eyes, and with clear complexions may wear
pink, pale blue, mauve heliotrope, myrtle
green, and, of course, white Gray is par
ticularly suited to blondes, especially when
the eyes are gray and blue, but gray cos
tune should always be relieved by a touch
OF color here and there, says the Philadel-
phia Times. 1t is generally a safe rule to
repeat the color of the eyes in the dress:
for this reason pale blue or dark blue
dresses are always so attractive if worn by
blue-eyed won en-.
Fur is becoming to every complexion, be-
Ing very softening in it's effects, and all
kinds of fur may be worn next the skin
with inipunity.

Often the Great Pieces of Ivory VIII
Thrill With Pain.
From the New York Tribune.
Il told you the other day about the Sui
tan Of ZanZibar's clocks" said Robert
Crawford yesterday, but there was an
other thing heard of while In that country
which is not without interest. The sultan
used to take me round to show me the
place and of what its trade consisted. 1t
Is the greatest clove-raisins country in the
world. and as such conveys comfort and
courage to Observation-Disclosures theater-
goers the world over Other spices and CO.
coanut rope are also important features of
their export trade. But in addition to the
sale of that which they raise within their
own borders their revenues are largely in
creased by the trade in ivory. Zanzibar is
the greatest market for South African
ivory. which is brought there in large guam
titles from the interior. This ivory is
placed in large warehouses, from which it
is either sold at once or else held therein
for better market. The man in charge of
these warehouses was a very interesting
character-an expert in ivory. He told me
many curious things about it, and among
others propounded the following theory as
an explanation of why elephants go mad
and occasionally run amuck. In the ware
mouse were pair Of magnificent tusks.
measuring fully fourteen feet from tin to
tip, which in life must have been carried
by veritable Goliath among elephants.
The expert in showing me these tusks
pointed out the fact that while one of the
tusks was complete and fawless, the other
was broken off at the point and showed
deep scratches and abrasIons throughout its
length. Now said he. If You will look
near the base you will find a hole made by
decay that had struck into the nerves and
given that elephant toothache and think
what a toothache of toothaches a fourteen
loot tooth must have held. In his effort to
relieve this pain the elephant rubbed his
tusk against rocks and trees and drove IL
into the earth, which mutlated it in the
manner. you here see. / have frequently
come across places where an elephant has
ripped I'D great spaces in the forest and
torn down the trees, and 1 am positive rhnt
toothache was the cause of this frenzy. An
and killing his keeper is not an uncommon
thing. out III wager that in nine cases out
OF ten II they would properly inyestIrat 10
the matter they would find that the br1T;a,s
sr"9en FRENZY sprung from so ordinary q
cause as common everyday toothache.,"
