Of the magnificent Orient can suggest TO
add to the glory Of his surroundings
that is omitted.
These ceremonies no doubt have
caused the impression TO exist in Chris
tian countries that the elephant is wor-
shipped as a god. Should an elephant
die Of Indigestion and establishment
during the period Of carnival, as once
happened, there is deep mourning and
the tusks and skin are preserved as
relics. During life the white elephant
is the leading figure in all state Occa-
siOns and is stationed at the inner gate
of the palace. AT all times his food is
selected with the greatest care and he
is given the most tender sprouts the
country affords, grass, sugar cane,
plantains and wheat made into cakes,
and his drink is highly perfumed. -

NOT 4 BRIGHT PROSPECT.

Municipal ownership of public util
tiles" doesn't sound as we'll as it did
in Kansas City. One of the reasons
why it doesn't is thus given by the
Kansas City Journal: AS long as both
private citizens and public officials of
every class continue to have one de-
gree of industry and interest and one
code of morals for the transaction of
business with or for the public. and
another degree of industry and inter-
est and another code of morals for
the transaction of business among
themselves as individuals, public own
ership undertakings Of every kind will
continue to leave behind them a his
tory of incompetency, extravaganza,
dishonesty and failure. Nor does there
at present seem to be any very bright
prospect that this disposition of man.
kind to be more attentive and faithful
to their own selfish interests than to
those of the public, which has always
been characteristic of human nature,
will very soon be eradicated from it.
Of course. But the advocates of mu-
nicipal ownership, ETC., don't care
about little fact like human nature.

MORE TRIO UBLE BREEIHG.

DR.. Robert Coltman, Jr., ought to
know something about China. He has
lived there many years, during six of
which he was private physician to Lii
Hung Chang, for a longer time physi-
clan to the imperial court, and also pro-
fessor of surgery at the Imperial uni
versity. He can see another Chinese
uprising in the works. He says: An
other anti-foreign uprising is forging in
China, and the onslaught is imminent.
The havoc will be terrible. The whole
responsibility for this next and fast
approaching slaughter in Pekin will
rest upon the allied powers, and espe-
cially upon the United States, for the
lenient manner in which China was
dealt with after the outrages of the last
uprising. The foreigners now in Pekin
are virtually without protection, and
when the attack comes the American
legation will be the objective point for
the first rush.
This is very different from the usual
talk about the humanity and sagacity
displayed by the United States in Chi
ma, but perhaps DR.. Coltman under
stands the Chinese character better
than some of the other takers do.
| Anyhow, his idea that there is going
to be another uprising agrees with that
of some shrewd observers.

Experiments in Germany have demon
strated the practicability of keeping
railroad trains on the same track in in
slant communication with each other,
and with the stations along the way, by
means of a third rail, which acts as an
electric wire connected with apparatus
in the locomotive cab. This apparatus
can be used as telephone, and it also
works automatically in signalling stop
pages of train. 1t is reported that the
French government is to equip all the
state lines with the system, which is
known as the rail telephone, at a cost
of 81, 100000.

motorman on trolley line in Chester,

speaks five languages fiuently, came to
this country few weeks ago expecting
to receive an appointment in theolog-
icaI seminary. He was disappointed,
and Immediately went to work with the

Sir William Laird Cloves advocates
novel remedy for refractory cases of
insomnia. Il have recommended such
people, after having ascertained what
is likely to be the most comfortable
position for Sleep" he says, ito affix a
small bright light two or three feet
above the head, so that in order to see
it without moving the head the eyes
must be rotated upward. For this pur-
pose an ordinary electric glow lamp,
covered with Opaque black paper, in
which Is cut hole the size of a pins
head, is very suitable, provided, of
course, that the hole be arranged so
that it is in or near the imaginary line
Joining the glowing filament and the
position which the eyes will occupy.
The brighter and smaller the point of
light the better. Let the upward-ro-
tated eyes be directed steadfastly at
this, a persistent effort being employed
not necessarily to keep the eyelids open,
but to keep the eyes themselves bent
upon the required spot" This plan,
Sir William Cloves declares, he has
found "extraordinarily-nay startling
ly-efficacious."

In IN. A. P" T. P. O'Connor writes
thus: It is well known that Lord Rose
berry has been cursed-that is the word
by recurrent insomnia all through his
life. I know no malady which is more
calculated to sap the energy and de-
stroy the nerve of man than sleepless-
ness; and I believe that much of what
is apparently erratic in the career of
Lord Rosebery is to be attributed to the
want of sequence which the depression
of sleeplessness, amounting sometimes
almost to despair, has produced in his
mind. Sequence of purpose and tenacity
of ambition are very difficulty to man
who has such big breaks in his courage
and his strength as come from sleep
lessness. Of the many remedies which
have been tried by Lord Rosebery for
this distressing malady, the most orig
inal is that which, according to one pa
per, I find he now resorts to at Dali
meny. 1t is to order carriage with
four horses to be ready for him at II
o'clock at night, long after he has had
dinner. In this equipage, preceded by
an outrider, Lord Rosebery rides for
hours; it is one of the many ways in
which he hopes to get sleep.
