UNIQUE NATURAL HISTORY.
Amusing Descriptions of the Giraffe
 end the Hippotomus.

The giraffe is 8 noble beast, and is native of Africa There the animal is trained to be a helpmate to the na- tives, and frequently it is induced to join others and permit a tent to be raised over their necks to shelter its master and his family, who then wit tily refer to the giraffeters of the home. The giraffe is provided with long neck so that. it may devour the heritage of the pal mtree, which does not decide to grow any leaves until it has reached considerable height, it being dec iduous tree, perhaps. If the palm trees that provide sustenance for the giraffe Were potted palm, the giraffe would have to stand on its head to eat, which would be ridiculous spectacle, in- deed, and one worth going miles to see. The giraffe is a gentle brute, but 1t objects to having q twenty-foot ladder leaned against it's head in order that its holster may bridle 1t. It has head like tack hammer but it is not a good driver.
 The hiDpopotamus is something the shape of a hogshead on plano legs, with an old fashioned cellar door for a mouth It lives in the swamps and eats grass like lawn mower. It's hide is so thick that it could run on four political tickets at once. It is diffi- cult to account for the thickness of it's | hide because 1t would be of no prac- tical use when skinned, anyway. When a hippopotamus joins circus its name is changed to blood-sweating behem- ! oth of holy writ, and the inside of it's mouth is painted red, and the impress sion Is given that it subsists on natives, one of whom is generally pictured dis appearing in it's porte cochere, shout ing last word for the loved ones at | home Any one who has ever seen a native of that country will agree that the hippopotamus, weak minded though | it may be, has better sense than to eat one. The hippopotamus has never been converted to any practical use, but for the people whose yards over flow with every rain, it might make a good watchdog. Chicago Post.

with free circulation of fresh air, and left to perfect rest. Internally: Give whlskey or brandy and hot water in doses of Q teaspoonful to q tablespoon ful, according to the weight Of the pa tlent, or other stimulant at hand, every ten or fifteen minutes for the first hour, and as often thereafter as may seem expedient. Later manifestations: Af- ter reaction is fully established there is great danger of congestion of the lungs and if perfect rest is not maintained for at least forty-eight hours it some times occurs that the patient IS seized with great difficulty of breathing, and death is liable to follow unless immed- fate relief is afforded In such cases apply large mustard plaster over the breast. If the patient gasps for breath before the mustard takes effect assist the breathing by carefully repeating the artificial respiration.
 Modification of Rule III, (to be used after Rules I. and II. in case no as- sistance is at hand). To produce res piration.-f no assistance is at hand and one person must work alone, place the patient on his back with the shoul- ders slightly raised on a folded article of clothing; draw forward the tongue and keep it projecting just beyond the lips; if the lower jaw be lifted the teeth may be made to hold the tongue in place; it may be necessary to retain the tongue by passing handkerchief under the chin and tying it over the head.
 Grasp the arms just below the el- bows and draw them steadily upward by the sides of the patients head to the ground, the hands nearly meeting. Next lower the arms to the side and press firmly downward and inward on the sides and in front of the chest over the lower rib, drawing toward the patients head. Repeat these movements twelve to fiften times every minute, etc.-Pre- pared for the United States Life Saw ing Service.

AT THE LOCAL THEATERS.
Fascinating Flora.

It has come to be a recognized event when Casino show opens its career in New Haven. And this year we are again to have the first peep at the att traction that is expected to keep New York amused throughout the summer and well into the fall for on the last three days of the week "Fascinating Flora" a brand new musical comedy from the pens of Gustav Kerker and Joseph Herbert is to be given it's pre- miere at the Hyperion.
 These two men on their last eollab- oration produced 'The Social Whirl, which had so suspicious an opening here last season and followed it up by the phenomenal run at the Casino. This time they have produced piece which they are sanguine will eclipse their oth- CT faTorite in both novelty of story and beauty of music.
 The cast which is to interpret this work is almost startling in it's makeup. First there is Adele Rttchie, perhaps best known here from her connection with "The Social Whirl," then Louis Harrison, last seen here in ''Veron- ique," Ada Lewis and Frederick Bond. also of "The Whrl" Ella Snyder, who has not been seen on the stage since her phenomenal hit in "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" James, E. Sul- hvan, best known in his work in "The Belle of New York" Arthur Stanford, late of "The Vanderbilt Cup Free mont Benton, Edna Chase and others. IA beauty chorus of the requisite Casino standard of pulchritude fill out the pictures of as gorgeous a staged pro- duction as has been seen in many a moon
 The first act of the play Is laid in Paris and abounds with the most fas- cinating color. The next act brings us to stock brokers office in New York while the last act will take place at Manhattan beach.
 Like all the Casino shows, the gowns are made a special feature and there are creations in Fascinating Flora" that are calculated to make a sensa- tion in the feminine portion of the audience.
 MT R. H. Burnside, who has staged nearly all of the big Shubert musical successes has had entire charge of the staging of the piece and those who have been privileged to witness the re- hearsals say that he has outdone him self.
 The tickets for all four performances will go on sale Tuesday morning at nine o'clock

ROAD TO FORTUNE.
Pointed Out Especially to Boys, but Is
 Open to All.

"It's hard work" said the boss, Ito get anybody to do even the simplest things really we'll and keep on doing them so; and l do love to meet people who do the work they have to do, no matter what it may be, thoroughly, and who have, besides, the sense and nerve to keep at it that way steadily
 Tt is positive delight to me to find boy that makes good job of sweeping out the store, who is not sat- isfied with giving it lick and prom ise- sweeping out the thick of 1t from the middle of the floor-but who digs into the corners and sweeps clean along the edges and makes a good, thorough, workmanlike job of it all through
 Now, that sort of job of sweeping is a positive help to the business; it makes the store attractive, it actually gets into the atmosphere of the place and helps to draw people, who would as surely be repelled, if not driven away, by store slackly kept. And now suppose this boy keeps right on so, un- flinchingly; suppose he shows that he's got the right stuff in him; why, he gets the first chance there is to step up, for the demand for men who can do things is greater than the supply, and then ii he will only keep on do- ing things the way he began, he's got his future In his own hands.
 ''What is true of the boy sweeping the store is equally true of every other boy, in whatever work he may be do- ing, absolutely; for the whole secret of success lies in doing whatever your hands find to do well and faithfully.
 "This is an odd, old, oft told story I know, but there's fresh crop of boys coming into the field daily, to whom, ever, 1t must be new, and if but one of each days crop would take the old story to heart the world in general would be better off and the boy him self would profit by it greatly"-New York Sun.

into the cheeks Is much better than the mechanical devices resorted to by den- lists and known as bumpers. These dental contrivGncss consist of the thickening of the upper plate at the sides, to such degree that when the plate is worn tne cheeks are made to bulge out. It does not restore the nat ural expression and is cumbersome and difficult for the patient to manipulate while speaking or eating.
 "In some instances of this sort would recommend the subcutaneous in- jections of parsffin, while in others well, the truth of it is that each case has to be considered by itself. All cases of facial or cosmetic defornity cannot be treated alike even when the defects are the same.
 There is a great difference in tenn peraments, in cuticles and in constitu- ton. A preparation that would be ben eficial when injected under one skin would be irreparable injury to another
 '"rhen, too, it is not only the sub stance that is injected. Whether it is vaseline, paraffin or any other good preparation, the surgeon should know just the spot it should be injected to produce the required results. The safest and most harmless substance carelessly injected will do more harm than good.
 My objection to the subcutaneous injection of pure paraf1in it that it is almost sure to produce subsequent skin trouble. It may not be apparent for some time after the application, for l have known it to take six months to develop, but it nearly always comes.
 If a person is going to have the face treated, either for the purpose of beau tifying the skin, or pumping out con- tours or for actual deformities, that is scars and misshapen features, she should consult reputable physician, specialist, of course, where that is possible Any one would think that there had been enough written against patent medicines advertised to cure every disease to which every morta mar is heir, maks women chary about using masks, lotions and other cosmetic appliances, for which impossible claim: arr made. Once let the beauty bug gel iE woman's blood. though, and there seems to be no end of her creduilty." "- New York Sun.

poli,s New Theater.

Master Gabriel as Buster Brown" in the playlet entitled Antics Visit'' is the particular attraction which is this week sending the audiences at Polls into spasms of laughter. Master Gabriel is the original Buster Brown of Sunday newspaper colore1 supplement fame and to watch the playlet is like going through an unabridged edition of colored supplements.
 Master Gabriel is particularly popu- lar with the little ones. Each after noon the house has been filled with the little folks who have heretofore known Buster only as creation of printers ink. Now they have the real thing and Buster is there with the goods
 Perhaps the best part of it all is that Buster each matinee receives the lityle people on the stage and after shak- ing hands gives each and every one a souvenir picture of himself Dog Tige, Busters faithful friend, is also very much in evidence.
 The bill offered this week is filled with varied specialties and one of the best offered this spring. Musical acts, illusionists, burlesquers and first class dog act completes the bill.

The Advertiser publishes an interest
ing report from the Fredericksburg,
Va, Star, of the unwilling of a monu-
ment at Salem Church, in honor of the
New Jersey soldiers who fought in
the battle at that place. 1t was very
important engagement and Hon. H.
A. Herbert in his history of the sth
Alabama Regiment, published in The
Advertiser some months ago, gave
proper credit to his regiment and Will
cox's brigade Of Alabama soldiers for
their part on that bloody field. The
New Jersey men who have honored
their comrades by erecting monu-
ment to their memory on the battlefield
bore testimony to the bravery of the
Alabamians who were pitted against
them. Their action In placing trib-
ute to their late foes from Alabama
on the monument was extraordinary
and magnanimous. We know of no
similar instance under similar circum-
stances and The Advertiser in the
name of the people of Alabama thanks
the patriotic New Jerseymen for this
manifestation of appreciation and at

above quoted, to the effect that our
conspicuous and spectacular trials
''swells the lawyers heads ami belittle
the law" is shared by an increasing
number Of Americans. 1t Is doubtful
IL many judges or lawyers actually be-
lieve that a well-nigh interminable duel
between lawyers and expert witnesses
Is an aid to justice. Especially when
an accused has great wealth ard is
able to carry on an indefinite Ctntes'
running through weeks and months,
the question arises whether justice can
be served and saved without permit
ting the duration of the trial to be
limited by nothing except the wishes OF
counsel and the purse of the client
1t Is not simply a question OF enor-
nous cost to the public; 1t Is a ques-
ton of practically monopolizing the
court, to the exclusion OF liner I'M
portant business, for an indefinite le-
Rod To say that there is no remedy
for these abuses Is to admit very
glaring dafect in our system OF JUS
tice. Many times 1t Is obvious that
the real purpose of the prolonged
struggle is not to secure but to defeat
justice. Still the courts seem power
less to interfere. There should be no
clamor, indeed, for any procedure that
would deny justice, but the question
Is pressing hard upon us whetner or
not here is any way of securing JUS
tice except by the present practice OF
letting the trial go on as long as coun-
sel desire to drag 1t. The intermin-
able length of many trials comes dan
gerousIy near being a burlesqoe ana

WHERE HE SLIPPEn

what pity it Is that a really good
thing should be nipped in the bud--
smothered in embryo so to speak.
suoh a thing recently occurred in the
lower House of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature. To properly see the point it
should be stated that the reading clerk
OF the House had taken off his collar
while engaged in his duties. A mem

to a point of order, which he had on g.
written sheet in his hand. He had
barely time to say. SMr. Speaker, 1

greeted by yeus and boots, paper wads
and other demonstrations of such n

The mistake the member made in
the hrst place was that he had al
lowed a friend or two to know what

the representatives from PHILADELPHIA
know what was coming and they wero
ready to howl him down before he
had chance to make himself heard
There was where he slipped up. He

doubtless then wearing the collar of
the bosses, would not stand for any,

quantity of gravel from this deposit.
At a depth of ten feet they found the
trunk of a spruce tree bent like bow,
the top held down by boulder weigh

but the bark and foliage had been re-
moved by the scraping the tree receiv-

Editor The Advertiser
An admirer of Sidney Lanier cannot
but be interested in the existence and
exercises of The Sidney Lanier Me-
mortal Association of Brenau Col
lege, Gain esville, Ga, account of which
appeared aIqS, din IN your paper Monday The
pride which is properly felt in the
possession of the name and fame of one
so gifted and SO pure and TRUE as Sid
ney Lanier.
The existence of such memorial
association recalls wildly visit to
Lanier's grave in Baltimore On a hot
July day in 1905, in company with
two or three friends, one of them a
Professor of English in an Alabama
College, 1 paid visit to that grave.
The cemetery in which he sleeps Is
fairly in the heart of the city. and Is
one of the most beautiful cemeteries
ney Lanier Is far down toward a low
side of the cemetery in what is known
as the Turnbull Lot in Sycamore Plat.
1t is reached when one has passed by
many beautiful lots filled with beau
tiful marbles and then down the hill
and almost to the wall in a bare and
poorly kept part of the grounds. No
stone or mark serves to identify his
grave as his. A bare wreath of ivy
makes a small green spot on thesmooth
earth over the place where he sleeps.
While there is a beautiful appropriate
ness in the covering of the Ivy wreath,
one can hardly repress the wish that
something more substantial might mark
the spot Perhaps no one could offer
objection, II such a memorial might
be offered by those who so appreciate
his sweet songs that they would count
1t a privilege to have part In the COM
memoration. The whole South owes
more to the work OF Sidney Lanier than
it will ever be able to pay. Every
