TUSKLEss ELEPHANTS.
Ceylon the Only Part of the World
Where They Exist

What a sight for a Ceylon elephant
hunter would be the first view OF q
herd Of African elepbants-aII tus-
kers! It is a singular thing that
Ceylon Is the only part Of the world
where the male elephants have no
tUsks; they have miserable little
grubbers projecting two or three
inches from the upper jaw and in
clining downward.
Nothing produces either ivory or
horn in fine specimens througout
Ceylon. Although some of the buf-
faloes have tolerably fine heads, they
will not bear a comparison with
those Of other countries, The horns
Of the native cattle are not above
four inches In length.
The elk and the spotted deeTs ant
leTs are small compared with deer
Of their size in India. This is more
singular, as it is evident from the
geological formation that at some re-
mote period Ceylon was not an is
land, but formed a portion of the
main land. 1t is thought there must
be elements wanting in the Ceylon
pasturage for the formation Of
iYory.-Ceylon Manual.

Followers of Mark Twain.

The latest addition to the fresh air
fiends seems to be included In the
young ambulance surgeons. In spite
Of near-to zero weather 1t is common
to see one OF these young men re-
spending to a hurry call without q
hat, and it is quite as common a sight
to see them, even at night time,
when 1t always seems colder than in
the day time, seated on the rear seat
of the ambulance, attired In white
duck trousers, Doubtless IL Is only
a part of the exuberance of youth,
but duck trousers on a night when
the mercury is trying to push the

SmokeIess Coal.

A London inventor claims to have
discovered a process for producing
umokeless coal, apparently by distil-
lation Of coal at low temperature.
This, after distillatiOn, is said TO de-
posit a very brilliant substance, the
heating properties of which are far
greater than those of the original
coal, and which IS absolutely free
from smoke and dirt The inventor
contends that efforts to overcome the
smoke plague have hitherto been un-
successful because they have been
made In the wrong direction, and
that by the extraction OF the smoke
producing material in coal before be-
ing burned, he has been successful
in producing a gmokeless coal.

The price of paper has increased
so much in the last few years that
we may have to do our writing on

way Of assisting you to save letter

itself in matter of file and record.

Arctic Dog Life.

Nowhere in the world has the dog

works out to &23 per acre, or a total

Judge Curtis's
 FaStidiOuS Notion
CHartford Courant.)


 sThe Courant" has no yearning for a charge of contempt of court. which. as we understand the judicial prop prieties, is liable to follow criticism of the action of judge, and yet it can not as public journal pass by un- noticed the curious performance of Judge Curtis in Bridgeport last week. A divorce case was to be heard, in it. self 1t developed that the wife, who was the defendant, had finally decided not to put in an appearance or make any defence. The fact came to the courts notice that at a previous hear ing. when the case was started, an- the husband, to pay $25 for the wife to make her defense with. This mon- ey had been paid by the woman to her lawyers. Now there was to be no de- fence. Judge Curtis, moved by sim gular curiosity, asked what had be- come of the husbands $25 and was fn- formed that the woman's lawyers still had it, though the defence they were to put up was abandoned. Thereupon Judge Curtis, with a disregard for the financial welfare of his brother law yers that must have looked cold even in this backward spring, gave notice that the case would proceed no fur ther until the husbands $25 was re- meager account given in the Bridge port papers iE appears that the attor- ney who had the husbands $25 ex- plained to the Judge that the money was retained as payment TOT aoFlce- the advice being not to do what the money had been ordered paid for. This did not seem to meet the fastidious views of Judge Curtis and he insisted that the $25 be refunded on the spot; then the case went on and the divorce so evidently desired on both sides, was granted. But the $25 is back in the husbands pocket.

A REMARKABLE
 ECZEMA CURE
NO MORE HOPELESS CASES OF
 THIS DREADED DISEASE

Eczema has long been one of the most dreaded of diseases, not only from the suffering and humiliation it en- tails, but also/because of the difficulty hitherto found in curing it. Doctors have failed, and the desperate patients have resorted to much advertised "so called" remedies, only to meet with disappointment. Now all this is changed.
 A sure and speedy cure for eczema absolutely unfailing, as thousands are ready to testify-has at last been found. Dr. Taylor's Eczema Remedy has established itself solely on it's mer- it's as an infallible blood purifier and skin cleanser. Its use has enormous ly increased within a brief period, as it's efficacy has been learned.
 For not alone is this remedy effect ual in the worst cases of eczema, but it is probably the quickest and surest remover of all skin blemishes, such as pimples, black heads, acne, herpes. rash, barber itch, etc, that has ever been discovered. Often one applica- tion, over night. clears the complexion
 A free descriptive booklet is issued by the Dr. Taylor Remedy Co.,, Phila- delphia, and the remedy and booklet can be obtained at Jennie Hamiltons Phar., Bridgeport. Conn., and at all first-ciass druggists
