RAT AND ELEVATOR.
Rodents Appetite for Lubricating
Oil Was the Cause of nm Acci-
dent at Minneapolis.

The greed of one rat caused the fall
of a passenger elevator in Minneapolis
recently.
Savory as strong as cheese is the lu-
bricating oil used on the mechanism
of the elevator. On the morning in
question n of them climbed to the
well-oiled pulley above the cage.
Meanwhile four men stepped into the
elevator. Alex. Lunden, the operator
slammed the door and the car started
up.
Before Mr.. Rat realized what had
happened he was dragged between
cable and wheelandhis life was crushed
out.
His body threw the cable off the
wheel. Upward shot the car, and Lun-
deem realized that it was beyond con
troll.
Tug as he would at the cable the ele-
vator sped to the cop of the shaft,
where it smashed a wooden platform
and dropped.
Lunden hung to the rope, though it
burned the skin off his hands, and this
helped to lessen the force of the de-
scent. At the bottom the air cushion
caused the a to rebound to the first
floor and then subside.-N. Y. World.

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS and fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle.
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

Big East Indian Trees.

1t is reported in authentic works that
a banyan tree on the Nerbudda once
covered a space SO great that it shell
tered 1900 men. The power of the
floods has now much reduced it in size,
but it is still 1900 feet in circumfer-
ence, and the trunks, large and small
exceed 5000 in number. Other trees
have been known to cover an area of 10
acres They r frequently found neal
temples and on or near funeral mounds.
The figs are insipid but abundant. The
leaves are of a bright green and form
. dense shade. They are five inches
long and four inches wide and they are
used by the Brahmans as plates and
dishes. The wood of the tree is porous
and is almost worthless. The natives
use various portions of the tree for
medicinal purposes.

Shields for Modern Warriors.

Recent experiments at Sheffield, Eng.
land, suggest the possibility that in
the twentieth century shields may
once more form an important part OF
the equipment of an army. Steel
shields, three millimeters in thickness
and about $50 square inches in area.
have been devised, which afford com
plete protection against bullets fired
from the service rifle at a range of 400
yards. The small size of the shield,
which weighs only seven pounds, re-
quires that the soldier shall lie prone
on the ground in order to be sheltered.
Each shield has a loophole for the rifle,
and studs at the sides so that a series
of them can be linked into a continuous
screen. The idea is that by the use
of such shields the necessity of digging
trenches may often be avoided.

ATTACKS A LOCOMOTIVE.

years age, while it was drawing a pas
senger train on a dark night through
the heavy tropical forest, a sudden
shock was felt, and the train came to a
standstill. The engine and tender were
thrown off the metals and half way
down the embankment, though, for
tunately, they did not drag the car
riages after them. When the driver,
who had been pitched off, went back to
ascertain the cause of the accident, he
saw a large bull elephant at the bottom
of the embankment on the other side
of the line. 1t died a few minutes after
the collision from the violent shock and
loss OF blood, it's off fore leg having been
shattered and a piece of the trunk torn
off. Beyond the fright and shock
caused by the sudden stopping of the
train, which, luckily, was travelling at
only Is miles an hour, no injury result
ed to any of the passengers. In the
same month of the year a similar
accident occurred on the Bengal-Nag-
pur railway in India.
On a pitch dark night a mail train
was running at the fate of 81 miles an
hour through very thick jungle which
was known to hold wild elephants. The
driver felt an obstruction and at
tempted to reverse, but the engine left
the metals, dragging with it a brake
van, the carriage of the locomotive SUI
perintendent and some other carriages,
but without causing injury to any of
the passengers or officials. At first it
was thought thatsthe accident had
beer brought about by cattle straying
on the line, but the officials soon found
a lead elephant.- Apparently the ami
NAL had been crossing the line just as
the train came up, and had been struck
by the engine and hurled down the
bank. The agent of the company sent
home n of the tusks to be put up in
the board room as a memorial of the &C.
currence. These instances Of a train
being thrown off the line through col
ilsion with an elephant show that,
while such accidents are pretty sure to
be bad for the elephant" they are also
attended with considerable danger to
rolling stock, and even to human life.
The latter consideration completes the
analogy we have already drawn.-Lon-
don Standard.

REAL R SENSE.
Displayed by an Old Mare Whose
Feet Needed New Shoes and Who
Went After Them.

They have at the Russell stables in
Pittsfield, Mass, a horse which was
purchased from Ex-senator Dawes and
is used on the baggage wagon running
from the hotel to the depot.
One morning this spring the old
horse was taken out OF the stable and
on the way to the depot she slipped on
the ice and fell. Again during the
morning hours about town the horse
slipped on the ice. At noon the horse
was unhitched and sent into her stall
for her midday meal.
She is never hitched, and when the
men looked for her to make the one
o'clock trip to the station she was no
where to be found. They searched the
stable and streets, and finally went to
Ex-senator Dawes house, but the old
mare was not to be found.
Toward three o'clock, however, she
appeared at the stable, trotting in
briskly, and, looking around, went
into her stall.
1t vas discovered that she had been
newly shod, and the employees made
inquiry at the blacksmith shop and
learned hat the horse had arrived
there a little after noon and had waited
her turn for the sheer. The men al
the shop knew her and thought she
had been left there by some one of the
hostlers.
The old Dawes mare was making her
regular trips to the station next day
with new sharp corks, and she has won
the heart of every stable man by her
knowledge of the right thing to do at
the RIGHT time

POOR OLD ELEPHANT.
sad Fate Of an African Beast That
Tried to Push = Big Locomo-
tive Backward.

II is not only in South Africa, and by
statesmen who ought to know better,
that the march of civilization is op-
posed and obstinacy pitted against
nrogress. The elephant has many hui
man qualities, and if the story that
comes to us from Perak, one of the
Straits settlements, be well founded,
occasionally shares with politicians
hardly less intelligent their prejudice
against the spirit of the age. 1t ap-
pears that a big tusker, which had long
been an object of pursuit to the sports
men of that remote district, wandered
on to the railway line and tried con-
illusions with the engine of a goods
train, charging it repeatedly, and keep
ing up the contest for nearly an hour.
The engine was reversed in the hope
that the beast would quit the field and
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 its obstructive
tactics. The driver was afraid tocharge
the brute, lest the train should be
thrown off the metals, 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 op-
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 ami.
NAL, which was put out of its misery by
the guard of a following passenger
train. This is not the first time that
the engine in question has encountered
an elephant on the line. Just about five

An official report of the Russian bu-
reau of statistics, in the department OF
Paskov, shows that some of the peas
ants in times of scarcity hibernate in
the manner of animals. They lie in bed,
or, as it is called in Russia, "lejka." The
bed is made on a fat stove, and all they
do is to replenish the stove and support
life by a diminished ration of black
bread dipped in water. They try to
keep as lmmovable as possible SO as
not to waste their energy or heat. The
hut is dark and silent throughout the
winter.

Graves Rented by the Year.

Fancy being evicted from your last
resting place if your relatives neglect
ed to pay the rent! Yet this is what
happens every day in that island we
have been hearing SO much of lately,
Porto Rico. In the Campo Santo, the
consecrated field, which lies on the cliff
edge near San Juan, it is impossible to
buy a grave right out, except at a price
which puts it out of the question for
poor people. The graves are leased for
a term of years, and if at the end of
that time the lease is not renewed, the
remains are dug up and the ground re-
let.
