little girl is the daughter of the pres
ent owner of the Yankee Robinson
Shows, who lives at the winter quar-
tiers of the show. The little elephant
comes up every pleasant morning to
take the little girl for a ride in her
baby carriage. He uses his trunk to
push the buggy. He will wheel the
baby up and down in front of the
house for an hour at a time and If
the baby tires of riding he takes her
to the door and whistles for someone
to take the little one home. Little
Tom is the kindest animal in all the
world and the devotion he shows tt
this little girl is lesson to all

THE GIRAFFE.

Africa's Second story Worker with
the Long Distance Neck.
The giraffe is the second story work
er of the animal kingdom. 1t is a
merger of the zebra and the camel and
is also distant relative of the palm
tree. The giraffe consists of eight feet
OF neck equipped with body at one
end and head at the other. In the
matter of neck 1t has all the rest Of
the animal kingdom beaten by a
length. The giraffes mouth is located
so far from its stomach that 1t has tc
eat to-day to appease to-morrow's ap
petite. Many a giraffe has starved to
death while the first meal 1t had eaten
for two weeks was slowly travelling its
transcontinental esophagus.
The giraffe looks as IL it had start,
ed out to be a zebra. but having reach
ed the shoulders. had kept on going.
1t Is very dark in color, marked by
yellowish brown stripes in handsome
linoleum pattern. 1t lives on tree tops,
eagles nests and rainbows. During the
Boer war the British army had some
difficulty with giraffes, which formed
great liking for war balloons and
frequently nibbled them during thell
flight in order to inhale the gas.
Why does the giraffe have long
distance neck? Persons given to the
use of common sense will realize that
Africa is rich in insect life as we'll as
animal life and that all African ami
mails carry innumerable parasites on
their hides. The giraffe's head is so
far from his body that long neck is
absolutely, necessary in order that he
may reach down and grab off tick
from his fetlock when necessary. Even
child could see this.-Colller's Week

Foods for the GOuty.
DR.. Haig, of London, who has attain.
ed eminence In the treatment of GER
tain diseases, came to his theory of
the uric-acid causation of many cases
of so-called neuralgia, rheumatic
pains. equity twinges and headache as
a result of observation on himself.
During his student and early profess
sional days he suffered horribly from
periodical headaches, losing an aver
age of one or two days out of every
week In consequence thereof. He ex-
perimented with all sorts Of drugs and
modes of living. and finally discovered
that the less meat he ate the less
headache he had, and he found further
that the occurrence of headache was
marked by simultaneous excretion
of a large amount OF uric acid.
From these two facts he concluded
that the headache was due to the pres
ence of uric acid in the blood, and
that the presence OF uric acid in the
blood was due to meat-eating. From
this beginning was developed COM
plete system Of dietetics, having for
its object the exclusion OF all uric,acid.

In other words. DR.. Haig is vegeta-
rian, but peculiar kind Of one, for he
