Some Elephants Fond Of Tobacco


Tim Buckley, who knows elephants
as a mother knows her own children,
said last night mat the story Of the
elephant cherishing revenge for the
tailor who had given him a piece of
tobacco and years after soaking him
with muddy water is all fake.
Elephants will not take tobacco or
anything else, if they do not want it,
even if they have had it in their
mouths; and what is more, l have
known elephants TO be really fond of
tobacco and eat it with pleasure.
have had elephants that would steal
a plug OF tobacco out Of a mans
pocket and swallow the whole thing.
They do not like the tobacco, but
they do like the licorice. Men and
boys frequently give them tobacco and
other things which they do not like
under the pretense of feeding them
peanuts, but the elephant is wise, and
he will simply toss such things to
one side and go on the ordinary course
of his life, without a thought of fill
ing his trunk with muddy water and
wetting the person who gave him the
stun. "-Louisville Courier-Journal.

SOL continues. His system was not
strictly limited to vegetable simples.
Wesley prescribed boiled carrots as
an exclusive diet for a fortnight for
the cure of asthma, and recommended
bald-headed people to wash their va

Mrs. z. NJ. De Long, of No. 160
West Broadway, Council Bluffs. Iowa,
found herself suddenly attacked by
rheumatism In the winter Of 1896.
She gave the doctor a chance to help
her, which he failed to improve. and
then she did some thinking and ex-
perimenting of her own. She was 30
successful that she deems it her duty
to tell the story Of her escape from
suffering:
MY brother-in-law," she says, was
enthusiastic on the subject of DR..
Williams Pink Pills as a purifier of
the blood, and when / was suffering
extreme pains in the joints Of my an
kles. knees, hips, wrists and elbows.
and the doctor was giving me no re-
lief, began to reflect that rheuma-
tism is a disease of the blood. and
that If DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
Sd good for the blood they must be
good for rheumatism and worth a
trial.
Il was in bed half the time, suffer
ing with pain that cannot be described
to one who has never had the disease.
It would concentrate sometimes in one
set of joints When it was in my feet
could not walk; when it was in my
elbows and wrists | could not even
draw the coyerlets over my body.
had suffered in this way for weeks
before | began using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Two weeks after began
with them | experienced relief and
after | had taken six boxes l was en-
tirely well. To make sure l continued
to use them about two weeks longer
and then stopped altogether. For sew
eral years I have had no reason to
use them for myself, but nave rec
commended them to others as an ex.
cellent remedy"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue,
strong muscles and nerves, capable of
bearing the strain that nature puts
upon them. They really make new
blood and cure all diseases arising
from disorders of the blood or nerves
such as sciatica, neuralgia. partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, st. Yitus
dance, nervous prostration. anemia
and all forms of weakness in either
male or female. They are sold by al

Yacht Built of Paper.

Out of the sheets of an Austrian
daily paper an ingenious Viennese en-
gineer has lately constructed for his
own use a small yacht, fifteen feet
long, decked all over and provided
with a centerboard. In the making of
the hull, deck, masts, sails and rud-
der, several thousand copies of the
journal were used-each plank re-
quiring no fewer than $500 leaves
and enormous pressure had to be en-
ployed before the necessary solidity
could be obtained. The inventor has
already made several excursions on
the Woerth See, and even in squally
weather his boat is said to have be-
haved admirably.

SANTO DOMINGO, Jan. r. The
gunboat Independence has arrived
here with two captured Dominican
~schooners in tow. The schooners car
ried arms and munitions of war intend
ed for coast defense.
The Independence after her arrival
bombarded the suburbs of the city
with the object of driving the revolu-
tionists out.
1t is officially reported that Bani and
San Cristobal have been rctaken by
the governments; troops.
There was a sewers encounter be-
tween the government troops and the
reVolutionists at Hama, with the re.
suit favorable to the government.
The tug Ana, the property of an es-
tate at San Isidro, was prevented by
the revolutionists from reaching the
estate, and the owner applied for pro-
lection to United States Minister Pow
ell. The latter informed the govern
ment officials that if they could not
protect the Ana he would.
Commander Mertz of the United
States gunboat Newport furnished an
armed convoy for the Ana, equipped
with a field gun. The two boats were
ready to leave when the government
e~ndeayored to prevent their departure.
Minister Powell promptly directed that
the boats should proceed and said that
he and Commander Mertz would accept
all responsibility for their action.
Later Minister Powell and Command
er Mertz waited upon the president and
told him hat the Washington govern
ment had instructed him to protect
American life and property with a firm
hand and that if his government could
not protect American citizens and their
property the Newport could and would.
The Ana carried 100000, which the
revolutionists hoped to capture.
The government has issued a decree
closing the ports of Aqua de Compos-
ITALIA, San Pedro de Macoris, SANTANA,

in the case of vessels coming from the
Antilles, within thirty days for vessels
from American ports and within forty
