Is or IS feet high. He first sets it up
right, and then climbs up it, with his
legs and arms as if it was a firmly
rooted tree. On reaching the top he
clings to it with his feet and hands,
after fixing the center Of the pole in
the middle of his sash, and dances,
moving about in all directions to the
sounds of music, without the pole ever
losing its equilibrium. He then de-
sends, takes a boy on his shoulders,
climbs up the ploe again, and stands
on the top on one leg. Sometimes a
boy lies across the extremity of the
bamboo and holds himself quite stiff
for considerable time.
"a man lifts up the pole and the
boy in that state, and moves them
about in ell directions without losing
the balance. A still more extraordi-
nary feat is performed by the Hindoo
women. One of them will sometimes
balance herself in a horizontal posi-
ton, with her arms extended like a
person swimming, on the top of BAN
boo pole 90 feet high, fixed in the
ground. In a short time she seems to
have lost he rbalance, and falls, to
the no small terror of the spectators
but this is only one Of her customary
movements; she catches by one foot
in rope fastened to a bar which
crosses the middle of the pole, and re-
mains suspended head downward. The
HindoOs are not extremely dextrous
themselves, but they have found
means to communicate their deXterlty
to the very brutes They train bull
locks, for instance, to the performance
of very difficult task. A Hindoc
| lies down upon the ground on his back
and places on the lower part of the
stomach a piece of wood cut in the
shape Of series Of spools. A buff
falo, at the command of his master
sets first one foot and then the other
on this piece of wood, and then his
two hinder feet in succession, anc
balances himself upon it. But this is
not all; the master Of the buffalo
places a second pedestal by the side Of
the first; the animal steps upon it il
like manner, and when he has placed
all four feet on this movable column
he balances himself upon it with won
derful dexterity. Goats are als'
taught to perform the trick, in which

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten
Years of Suffering.

~ wish to say a few words in
praise of Chamberlain Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy says
Mrs. Matte Burge, of Martinsyille,
Va. 81 suffered from chronic diar-
rhoea for ten years and during that
time tried various medicines without
obtaining any permanent relief. Last
summer one of my children was TAX
en- with Cholera morbus, and I pro-
cured a bottle Of this remedy. Only
two doses were required to give her
entire relief l then decided to try
the medicine itself, and did not use
all Of one bottle before I was we'll and
I have never since been troubled with
that complaint. One cannot say too
much in favor of that wonderful med
icine.' This remedy is for sale by

"The rapidity with which the

is due to many causes,' said the off
cial. - The factories are now berin-
ming to ship out their fall and winter
goods to the more distant points, and
agricultural implement factories are
commencing to send ont their yearly
shipments of drills and other grain
and seeding machines, and the general
activity prior to the fall trade has
increased the amount of freight hand

All Of the extra freight eOuipments
are being gotten out OF local shops
the freight engines and the long string
of empties are being gone over and
fitted up and the demand for more
rolling stock is being felt each day.
All of the extra freight crews that
were laid off when the retrenchment
policy was adopted not long ago, have
been taken on again. and the steady
crews are working hard. Yes, the
freight business is increasing.

MOOSE ABOUT NECK.
Mrs. CatIett Attempts Suicide
By Hanging.
Hind Unbalanced and She Is Sent
to the Asylum for
Treatment.

Mrs. Emma Catlett, wife OF Mr.,
Charles Catlett, became violently
insane and was sent to the asylum
Wednesday. Mrs. Catlett has
been in bad health for several
months and on last Monday at
tempted suicide. She succeeded
in GLIDING the vigilance of her at
tendaut and went to a stable IN the
horse lot, where she made prepa-
rations to hang herself. When
found by Mr.. Catlett she had fasten-
ed the moose about her neck and
was in the act of tying the other
end of the rope around a rafter.
This was the second attempt at
self destruction within the past
two weeks.
About two years ago her daugh-
ter married and removed to West
Virginia. The absence of the
daughter caused her mother much
grief and she could not be recon-
ciled. About a year ago Mrs. Cat
lett paid her daughter a visit,
spending several weeks in the
mountains. On her return she be-
came very respondent and her mind
finally gave way
