The Message That "a Dying Girl Com

Here is an interesting. II somewhat
.crccpy," story which reaches us from
n correspondent upon whose good faith
we can rely: A certain young lady,
whom we Will call Mary A., wns re-
covering from illness. The doctor had
declared her TO be out of danger, and
her friends and relatives were rejoic-
ing in the fact Nevertheless, Miss A.,
receiving visit one day from n sister,
gravcly assured her that she was going
10 die The sister poohpoohed the idea
and treated II as an inynlid's fancy.
Miss A., however, with the utmost
calmness, repeated her statement. She
was certain that she would die that
night and begged her sister TO fetch her
parents and other relatives TO say good
by. Thinking TO humor her. the sister
complied. One person was absent from
this strange family gathering-a broth
er. who was ut sea and was expected
home in week or two. But II does
not matter" Miss A. quietly observed.
II saw him last night In dream and
said Soodby to him In his cabin" BE
fore the sun rose again Miss AS pre-
diction had come true; she was dead
That, however, is not the strangest
part of this weird story. When In due
time the sailor brother reached port he
was met by his other sister who be-
gan TO tell him the sad news. "Ah."
he interrupted. you need not tell me!
Mary is dead. knew it, for she came
TO me one night in my dreams and told
me she was going TO die and wanted to
say goodby." ON comparing dates 1t

the growing crops and ruin their pro-
ductiveness.
Diseases are to the body what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri-
ton which is necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy, drags out sickly existence.
When the stomach is diseased, and the
other organs of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is constant
loss of nutrition by the body. The stom-
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements of
vitality. What Is known as wweak"
heart or oweak' lungs, wweakn nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by uweakn stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the other diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by a diseased
condition of the stomach are cured
through the stomach. Or. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition. It cures
through the stomach diseases of heart,
lungs, liver and other organs. 1t In

Mosquitoes during the past few day 8

ELEPHANTS IN BURMA.
The Great Beasts Sometimes "ork
without Immediate Overnight.

m. Great Beasts Sometimes WORK
without Immediate Overnight.
In Burma the animal generally used
in numbering operations Is the ele-
phant. While my lord the elephant
solves In n unique way the transporta-
ton problem-always vexatious one
In numbering operations-he does more
than that. The stolid and slow moving
OK can haul a load from one place to
another. but the load has to be made
ready for him in the first place, and
after 1t has arrived at its destination It
has TO be unloaded. The elephant
takes care OF all these operations. Not
only he is a draft animal, but In
some instances, at a word from MS
driver. he picks up a timber, carries 1t
to the designated point, and then not
only deposits 1t where 1t belongs, but
does so with precision and comparative
ease, accomplishing a result almost I'M
possible by hand labor, and with less
expenditure of time than would be re-
quired by steam crane.
In most cases an elephant driver, or
mahout, Is required for each elephant,
but human labor is so cheap as not to
be a factor in the expense. The ele-
phant furnishes the labor which Is paid
for. and the driver is looked upon as d
necessary, though not altogether de-
sirable, concomitant, as the native
helper Is not so much to be relied upon
as his big charge. Opium and the
strong brews of native roots work on
human frailty, but the elephant has no
desire for these. In many big lumber
ing operations the elephants are SEEM
ingly told" what they are to do In the
morning, and in some degree left TO
carry on the work during the day ac-
cording to their own devices. Very re-
markable are the stories told of their
sagacity. One OF these stories, youched
for as true, concerns numbering, and
tells of an elephant that was about TO
pick up log just as the great gong
which signaled the close of the days
work was sounded. To the surprise OF
the mahout, the log, only little larger
than others which had been carried.
proved too heavy for the elephant to
lift from the ground. Another elephant
was reauisitioned, but the two together
failed TO make any Roadway with the
heavy timber and the attempt was
given up. In the morning the first eie-
phant went Immediately to the timber,
lifted 1t with apparent ease. and car
