One and a Million.

'That's the first time l ever sold a
single envelope" said the young wOm-
an at a big stationer's store in the
city'S center 1--WE always sold them
in packages, but that gentleman came
in with letter in his hand and asked
for an envelope, and | sold him one for
a cent. I imagine that's the smallest
sale that has been made in this estab-
lishment since it opened. The biggest
| ever made happened to be in the en-
velOpe line too. A rather roughly dress
ed man came in, asked to see our en-
velOpes and wanted to know the price
by the thousand. told him Then he
asked the price by the million. I got
the figures from our manager, who
smiled as he gave them 60 me, Yet the
man ordered a million envelopes. and
when we asked for reference he said
he would as lief pay the bill on the
spot, which he did from roll of yellow
back bank notes about the size of
loaf of bread. We delivered the en-
velopes, but haven't seen the purchaser
since. "-Philadelphia Record.

MAYOR BECKER
AND HIS HORN
He Can Play All Kinds of Music
While Riding in His
Automobile. .

Milwaukee, June 11.-Mayor Sher-
burn NJ. Becker of Milwaukee, is the
possessor of a horn upon which, when
attached to his automobile any tune
can be played from rag-time to grand
opera. The horn is said to be the
first and only one so far manufac-
tured. The tunes are brought out by
utilizing the exhaust steam. There is
no additional mechanism beyond one
extra pipe into which the steam passes
and is released into the twenty-five
brass tubes or pipes corresponding to
the pipes of church organ. A key
board Of brass keys of sufficient range
to permit playing. In the keys of G..
c and ]! is the means of manipulating
the mechanism.
1t is said that every tone Of the
church organ can be duplicated. BY
a manipulation Of the ordinary auto
mobile mechanism the forte tone can
be produced and likewise the pianissi-
mo. BY running the car on high gear
and throttling the motar down low,
each explosion into the muffler pro,
duces a fine tremelo. Mayor Becker
entertained large throngs in the city
parks with his automobile music.

Popular Approval of Theft,

The idea Of private property has
never been fully accepted by the mass
es of the people and never had their
cordial approval as all institution. The
most popular songs and ballads of ous
nation in all ages, it may be noted,
have been those which described sym
pathetically attacks on private proper
ty from the Robin Hood cycle to the
broad sheets in which Turpin and
Sheppard were made heroes. Even
nowadays the literature that really
touches the people, the literature that
the educated classes seldom so much
as see exposed for SALE the literature
that is sold in the small general
shop in the back street and costs fewer
pennies than the novel we know costs
shillings, still very largely deals with
the romantic exploits of the robber

The Circus and the Arab steed.


Cncuses are perhaps more to blame
Tor the misrepresentation of the Arab
morse than any other source. A friend
OF mine owns a circus, and / saw his
posters few years ago claiming to ex-
nlDlt eighteen or twenty of the only
Arabian horses brought to America.
He said they were captured with great
difficulty and brought to New York by
a special permit of the sultan; that
they were of the family known in his
tory as the eagle feather horses, so
much priced in the queen Of Sheba's
days; that they were snow white. with
big markings in their spots of the tip
or eagle feathers. We don't have to
believe everything we read on the cir
Gus posters. In this case l am mighty
certain these spotted Arabians" were
bought at Albany, Ore. The most pc.
culiar part of this spotted horse bust
ness is this, and it is not very strange
reason when you know it, that spotted
anything is created by mixture Of
different races or different breeds, and
that likely accounts for the fact that
the Arabian desert in all it's history
has never produced spotted, or pie
bald, horse, possible from the fact that
there is never any mixture Of blood

Trapping an ELEPHANT,

elephants are easily trapped" said
a zoo keeper, very easily trapped and
very easily tanned. The trapper chooses
a spot popular with elephants and digs
hole five feet deep and twenty feet
square. He surrounds this hole with a
high board fence except in one place,
where he hangs swing gate. Next he
finds herd Of elephants, chooses the
animal he wants. maddens it and
makes 1t chase him. The man tears
along on his nag, the elephant thun-
ders close after. and just at the gate
way the man swerves to the right, but
the elephant, too heavy to swerve,
bangs right on through into the hole.
He's mad at first, terribly mad. But
they give him ne food or drink, they
build around the pit fires of damp
wood that almost suffoeate him with
smoke, and they daze and stupefy him
with shouts and banging of brass pans.
The eler6ast is completely broken and
subdued in three or four days. He
comes forth and follows the trapper
humbly and timidly, with tears in his
eyes,"

Medicine In Ancient Egypt.

There is much evidence in inscrip-
lions and manuscripts that the ancient.
Egyptians practiced medicine and sur
gerry extensively. Probably their prac-
tice was based on little knowledge Of
anatomy. Each physician treated only
one or two diseases. The sick were
exposed in public places so that others
who had suffered similarly might tell
them of helpful remedies. Diseases Of
the eye were best understood and re-
ceived both medical and surgical treat
ment The most important medical
manuscript found in Egypt Is the
Uapyrus Ebers, written 5000 b. C. anu
discovered in Memphis. Disease, ac-
cording to the Egyptians, was due to
the anger of some deity, the result of
the triumph of evil in it's struggle with
good, an idea which is still very gen.
eral throughout Africa and Asia and
which at some time has been prevalent
In modified forms in almost every race.

Pet Bears.

The incest pet the French forest af-
fords is the marcassin, or baby wild
boar. 1t is almost human in it's clever
ness, delights in funny pranks has an
evident sense of humOr, makes friends
of children and dogs and even lends it
self to mimic hunts, playing the part
Of the hunted animal. Its antics are
varied and original The only creature
to which the marcassin objects is it's
distant relative, the pig. Directly it
sees that animal it's back is up and it's
growing tusk is barred. In babyhood
it has lovely sleek coat of very dark
brown and tan. When the silky hair
is shed and bristles take it's place the
temper grows uneven. If marital and
paternal cares come on, the wild boar
puts away it's childish ways and wants
to take it's family to the forest to feed
there on acorns and beech mast. Woe
to the hound or to the keeper who
wants to keep him back In the forest
this paterfamilias may be called the
first line of defense, the SOW the second,
