THE BIG ELEPHANTS LOOSE.
With Pageantry end Fireworks Be-
hind Them They Create Stir.

Curiosity and anticipation at home,
and the same incentive brought by
excursion trains g. from every section
within a radius of fifty miles, or
more, indicate an unusual out and in
pouring of people to take in the wide
ly-hera!ded and undoubtedly rarely
big and attractive street parade of the
great Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers United Shows.
Besides the standard gay, glittering
and spectacular pageant offerings
characteristic of the bigger circuses,
there are announced uncommon POM
pous and historical additions, among
which the Oriental and military sec
tons Will command unusual atten-
ton and are striking Innovations
The former is a regally mastodonic
and rich reproduction of the recent
gorgeous State Durbar at Delhi, in
which the native princes, potentates
and other notabilities of all India re-
ceived and did homage to the British
Viceroy, making the occasion one of
indescribably ostentatiOus and lavish
display of priceless jewels and cos
tunes.
The show in question has the huge
elephants, superb horses, costly trap
pings, people and /paraphernalia re-
quisite to appropriately perpetuate the
event In the military section of the
parade will be found matter of un-
usual and striking historical interest;
our country's martial progress, from
Bunker Hill to Santiago, being illus
trated and symbolized by the appear
ance of representatives, armed and
costumed exactly as were the heroes
who fought under Washington, Scott,
Taylor, Lee, Grant and Miles.
After the morning parade a free
display of Japanese daylight fire works
Will be given on the show grounds,
during which, discharged from thuh-
dering mortars, will float, sail and
dive skyward the huge and most
strangely grotesque similitudes of fab
ulous monsters, dragons, sprites and
Arabian Nights fantasies, accom-
panied by pyrotechnic rainbows and
wonderful wreaths of smoke.
This greatest of shows is in Raj
elgh on Friday of this week and an
tlclpation is to its many delights.

QUAIL ON TOAST!
November 1st Sees Many Hunters
Notwithstanding for AM
munitiOn.

The hunting season opened yester-
day and the woods and fields were
full of sportsmen. Early risers say
that Fayetteville street in front of

with men with guns and dogs, waiting
impatiently in the shivering dawn for
the clerks to open the stores, discuss
ing prospects and telling lies as they

with tired legs and a few plumplings
in his bag does not count the cost,
however. He feels, rather, the out
doorness of the world, the sweetn less
of the smell of the woods musky in
the autumn haze of evening. Even
the dust feels good to the hunter at
the end of the day in the fields. And
the fatigue is the cup of his joy who
knows that at the end of the musky
road is home and supper. It's a
great day--this November 1st

THE WAY TO DROP PAIN.
Let Go of the Place That Hurts and
Do Something Quick
to Heal It.

A mar once grasped a very hot poker
with his hand and although he cried out
with pain, held on to the poker. His
friend called out to him to drop 1t, where
upon the man Indignantly cried out the
more, writes Annie Payson Call, in Les
lies Monthly.
Drop it? How car you expect me to
think Of dropping it with pain like this?
tell you when a man is suffering, as
am, he can think of nothing but the
pain"
And the more indignant he was. the
tighter he held on to the poker, and the
more he cried out with pain.
In the same way people resist pain and
hold on to 1t; when they are attacked
with severe pain, they at once devote
their entire attention to the sensation of
pain. instead of devoting it to the best
means of getting relief. They double
themselves up tight, and hold on to the
place that hurts. Then all the nervous
force tends toward the sore place and
the tension retards the circulation and
makes it difficult for nature to cure the
pain, as she would spontaneously if she
were only allowed to have her own
way.

DRAWING BIZ REELEcTIoN!
Something That May Seem Easy, But
Is in Fact Very Diff
fcult.

Nov here said the lively boarler,
"is something that you may all have

| am sure it win interest you II you
haven't seen it.
you take a small, square mirror.
| like this one that | find standing bere
on the mantel, and rest it on the table, or
get somebody to hold it there for you,
standing upright and with face toward
you.
''Then you put down on the table. in
front of the mirror, a piece of white pa
per. and you provide yourself with a lead
pencil with which to draw on the pa per.
Then you cover over that hand that
you are to draw with. or have some
body cover 1t over, with a paper that will
conceal the hand and the pencil from di-
rect view, though you a see the refec-
tion of the pencil in the mirror before
which you are holding it.
"Then, by the aid Of the reflection In
the mirror of the lines you draw, you
try to draw OF the paper a square with
diagonal interesting lines across II.
"You will find that with the hand
holding the pencil covered over. and OILY
the reflection of the pencil in the mirror
to guide you, you can draw the SQUIRE
pretty accurately without any great elf
iculty. You are likely to get it all right
at the first or at LEAST at the second trial,
but the drawing of the diagonal lires
you will find to be a very different prop
o~sition.
"You can see the pencil in the mirror,
and see just what you are doing with It.
but even with that help it is by no means
as easy to draw those two diagonal lines
as you might imagine. Oh, some people
car do it pretty well, after one or two
trials, but more cannot; and some peo-
pie that can draw the square all right
make, when they come to try to put in
the diagonals, lines going every which
way, as zigzag and crooked as the err
ratio markings of a planchette pencil
when you press your hand upon the
board.
ut seems as though it must be very
easy, but it is really very hard. Now.

The PROPERTY LINE.

In helping make Perth Amboy more
attractive, those about to build houses
could greatly assist by having q uni
form property line along the streets.
Nothing tends moro to spoil n thor
0ughfare than to sec ono house setting
in from the sidewalk and another OH
tho line, horo one with n bay -window
sticking out while still another with
a porch reaching out OH tho sidewalk.
This is especially noticeable on narrow
streets.
While there is no denying tho fact
that a property owner has n right to
do a. he plenses on his own property,
as long g there is no city ordnance
...sssIning such things, at the snmo
An f%nayttdhif. adyansSgga Of his own
property, as wells as the others, the
owner might be moro willing to con-
form with tho established rule.
One instance in particular, not fan,
from the city hall, has been III en-
toned where'a house is about to be
built on a narrow street. Tho plans
show that q porch is to BIO constructed
SO thatIthere isshardlyIroom for four
foot flgstone between tho porch and
the curb line. This is greatly to be
regretted. While tho owner may BIO
able to establish his title to the land
which seems to be encroacl i ig on the
sidewalk, it would seem that for the
AXE OF the appearance of his own
property the sidewalk should be made
widor and the building set in a few
feet. The price of tho land is not
everything, when, hy losing that
small amount by throwing it into the
street, the value OF tho property
would be increased twice the amount
lost. 1t is understood that negotia-
tions are under way to make some
changes. Fol- the sake of the city, tho
street and THE property itself, it is to
BIO hoped thoy succeed. A sidewalk
-four feet wide is too narrow, less than
1fiat is hardly to be considered. A
foot or two of land thrown into tho
street would add to instead of de-
orensing the valuation. In fact a
no iso butting out into the street in
the manner suggested would he an
eyesoro for generations to come. Why
not rectify the mistake before it is
too lats?
