When a student begins to break

FOUND IN ZULULAND.
Remains of New Extinct Elephant
Discovered in Africa.

In the final report of recent geo.
logical survey of Natal and Zululand,
Dr. w. B. Scott, the we'll known
palaeontologist of Princeton, New Jer-
sey, gives description of the two last
molars of an extinct elephant obtained
from deposit of late Tertiary age in
Zululand. For the elephant the author
proposes the name of elephas zulu. It's
teeth have their constituent plates
more numerous and thinner than are
those of the existing African species,
and they are described by DR.. Scott
as being to a great extent intermedi-
ate in this respect between the latter
and those of the extinct European and
Asiatic elephas antiquus. To Mr.. H.
Lydekker, who writes on the subject
in knowledge and Scientific News,
they seem to be much nearer the
molars of the species last named. 1t
is suggested that e. zulu may have
beer The ancestor of the living E. afri-
canus, In which case it would almost
be imperative to regard the molars OF
the latter as being of a degenerate
type. This question requires very care
full consideration; but apart from this,
the discovery is one of great interest

ADVICE TO VICTIMS
TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix a Simple Prepare
tion and the Dose to Take-Over-
comes Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.

There is so much Rheumatism every
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read
ers of large Eastern daily paper. will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion.
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few VIC
Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple home made mixture, and
In most cases permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys SO that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.

Animals Fight in Shack.

From Bristol's woods, In Southern
Prospect, village near Waterbury,
Conn, a wildcat pursued big deer
until from exhaustion 1t fell through
the roof of the side hill hen shack of
Edison Black. Guinea fowls set up a
great commotion, and with the deer's
desperate struggles for liberty, cooped
up in shack 15x12, with nearly so
fowls, there was such racket that a
trusty watchdog awoke Black. He
went to the henhouse to find 32 fowls
trampled to death, every pane of glass
and all the roosts broken and the deer
dying of broken neck. It's fanks
were lacerated from the claws of the
wildcat, tracks of which were in the
coop, where it remained until fright
ened away by the approach of Black.

lustration. The inventor employs a
huge belt, which connects with pull
leys at each end of the driving
mechanism. Smaller guide pulleys are
placed between the larger ones. Suit
able power is provided to drive the
pulleys, which in turn transmit the
power to the belt. The latter is moved
over the water with velocity and force
to cause the water to react as a solid
sufficiently to support the craft Pad
dies are attached to the driving pull
leys, adding to the power of propul-
sion. This unique method of naviga-
tion has not as yet had a practical
demonstration, but theoretically it
should prove a success at least on
small boats.

When these two talked without ap-
parent heat it was with unalterable
fixedness of purpose. They were of a

that she should not. The gentleman

The girl felt her knees give way, and

in her eyes and over1owed, blurring
everything.

Vegetable Horsehair.

Not long ago the farmers and culti-
vators in Algeria often went to con-
siderable expense to destroy the dwarf
palms which abound in that part Of
Africa. Now, thanks to the constant
progress of practical science, these
same once despised plants have be-
come a source of wealth, and are con-
sequently cultivated in their turn.
Their leaves furnish fibers from which,
by very simple processes, is produced
a substitute for horsehair in the man
ufacture of mattresses and of the fill
ing for cushions, chairs and so forth.
Other plants likewise furnish fibers
which are utilized for a similar pur-
pose, but the African dwarf palm at
present holds the lead in this industry

After describing the difficulty in de-

fixed stars, due to the drift of our
solar system through space, and the
reasons for our present certainty that
such motion exists, Mr.. Henkel goes
on to say:
MANY of the stars have been found
to possess proper motions displacing
them gradually in their relative posi-
tions, but the most remarkable thing
of all is to find that in many cases
neighboring stars have proper motions
nearly the same in direction and
amount This, of course, is partly due
to the suns motion in space causing
this apparent agreement, but allow
ing for this, there is no doubt that
very many are physically connected,
though they must be enormously dis
tant from one another.
Thus, five of the seven stars form

Everythinq Bad.

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some of his holdings
in southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad,
and it was necessary to finish the
Journey in a buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles Of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon farmer plowing corn on the
side of hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, mopping
his face with a red bandana.
Good morning"
"Mornin', mister!"
you live here, l suppose?"
"Yep."
"How's crops?"

"That's bad hill you're plowing"
"I know it. Bad hoss, pullin' tn

planter.
