SUCKED THE BOTTLE.

Young Pachyderms Take Kindly TO an
Artificial Form of Nursing.
owned some young elephants which
l had lent to a Snowman on the Bow
cry. On going to see them one day
l noticed man holding his finger in
the mouth of one of the smaller ones.
placed my finger in the mouth of an
other and found that the creature
seemed to derive pleasure from the ac-
ton Of sucking. Immediately l sent
out for an ordinary infants nursing
bottle. The young elephant drained
the bottle as IL ito the manner born. y
1t was passed from one to another OF
the infant class. Finally they fought
in the most indescribably comical man
ner for possession OF the bottle. Then
fitted large glass jar, holding q
gallon, with rubber tubes, so that all
could use 1t at the same time. In
variably they would empty this bottle
before loosening their hold on the nip
pies. They had doubtless been taker
from their mother when too young, o.
perhaps she had been killed at thu
time when the young were captured
So effectively did they appeal to public
interest and sentiment that by dint o
skillful advertising the celebrated
sucking baby elephants" made quit
a fortune in single season. The!
would be led into the ring, where the!
would take their nourishment lik,
human babies, their overgrown siz,
making this infantile operation yer!
comical and absurd. The sight capt.
waited the heart of every woman whit
attended the show.-Saturday Evening

Congress desired the experiment of

Congress desired the experiment Of
rural free-rnail delivery to be thor
oughly tested and to that end author
tied the postofflce department to make
trials In different parts of the country.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath, in his report recently made pub
lie, gives the results of these expert
ments. He says trials have been made
In all sorts and conditions of rural life.
The experiments have covered twenty.
nine States and fortyfour different
routes. They have not been confined
to communities where conditions ia.
vored the success of the plan to the
utmost, but mail has been carried over
the mountains of Arkansas, through
the heavy roads of Central Illinois,
along the rough banks of the Missouri
river in Kansas, through the unsurvey.
ed and roadless farming districts Of
Southwest Kentucky, over the hills and
through the snow-llled crossroads OF
Michigan and among the scattered col
ored settlements Of Virginia. Com.
menting on these experiments, the
First Assistant Postmaster General
says: According to the varying con.
ditions of the country traversed. the
rural carriers perform their services on
horseback or riding in buckboards, bug.
gies, wheeled carts, or on bicycles.
In some States they have to cross farms
and pull down bars and ride over fields
to deliver and collect their mails. In
no instance has any serious complaint
been made of this invasion of private
rights. On the contrary, the co-opera-
ton of the communities served has In
every Instance been cheerfully and eff.
fectlvely given. The farmers, at their
own cost, have put up boxes at the
crossroads and at all other convenient
places for the reception of the mails.
The general results obtained have been
so satisfactory as to suggest the FEAST
bility of making rural delivery a per-
manent feature of postal administra-
ton In the United States, not immedi-
ately or In all districts at once, but In
some gradual and graduated FORM"
After the successful experiments In this
line Congress should not delay longer
the establishment of rural free delivery
in the communities best suited for the
immediate Introduction of this system.

BURNING WEEDS.
Method of Destroying Them in Use py
Railroads.


At this season of the year one Is
reminded of the annual contest waged
against growing vegetation to preserve
railway tracks In clean condition. Es-
pecially is this true of the dirt-bal-
lasted tracks In the western states,
where the expense entailed in keeping
vegetation down by grubbing with a
shovel is formidable figure, COM
pared with the expense of the same
work where tracks are ballasted with
good quality of gravel. For many
years western roads have resorted to
numerous experiments for killing veg
citation, with machinery, the most
successful of which has been the
scheme of subjecting 1t to scorching
heat produced by burning crude pc
troleum under a shield carried a few
inches above the track. Machines of
this description are used on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe and Chicago
Great Western roads. In the construc-
ton Of this weed burner use is made
Of an ordinary fat car, on the front
end of which Gas it runs in service) is
mounted an upright hirty-horse-pow-
sr boiler and pair of engines. By
means of sprocket chain connection
between the engine shaft and car axle
the car is made self-propelling. After
some experience 1t was found neces-
sary to connect the second axle OF the
truck with the first, or that driven by
the engine, by means of sprocket
chain, in order to overcome slipping
due to the looping of long weeds over
the rails. By this means OF locomo-
ton a speed of from ten to twelve
miles per hour Is easily made, as
when running for stations to meet
passing trains. The water supply for
the boiler and for extingu:shing fires,
ried In a wooden tank in the center
of the car. On top of this tank there
are two air reservoirs, and inside Of
the forward cab there are two air
pumps for creating the air pressure
necessary to spray the oil into the
burners. The burner rigging is sus-
pended from rear platform, built
upon four Trails. The shield and
burners are hung from the outer end
of this platform upon bell cranks, and
an old reverse lever and quadrant are
used to adjust the burners to the de-
sired height from the rail. The burn
ers are easily taken down when 1t is
desired to couple the car in with a
train. The oil tank for supplying oil
to the burners is located inside the
rear cab or just in rear OF the water
tank

Note, from the pnri. Exposition.

''1g'he Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, Ct 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very .creditable exhibit
located in Group Kill, Glass 10, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the eel
ebrated Singer Sewing Machine which
is used In every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was
highly pleased with this display and
observed with much satisfaction that
1t was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew
ing-Machines for superior excellence
In design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
In either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer Machines received fifty
four distinct awards, being more than
were received by all other kinds of
sewing machines combined.
Should 1t be possible that any of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms, which
can be found in all cities and most
towns In the United States"

What Will Become of China?

None can foresee the outcome of the quar-

going to pieces of this ancient but unpro-

also going to pieces because of dyspepsia,
constipation, blood, liver and stomach dis
eases. We are living too fast, but strength,
vigor and good health can be retained If we
