Slams White ELEPHANTS.

About fifty wild elephants are cap
tured near Nan, In Siam, every year,
and are trained in the vicinity. Al.
though it is called the Land Of the
White Elephant, true albino tusker
is a great rarity; the whitest they
have is merely light-colored or spot
ted. The so-called white elephant is
only little lighter than the ordinary
tusker. One of the most satisfactory
to the Siamese in recent years was a
light brown, with some white hairs
on the back. There are records, how
ever, which show that probably real
white elephants have been caught.
Back in the eighties a European cir
Gus came to Bangkok with a white
elephant, but the paint came off, and
there was much public indignation.
The elephant died a few days later,

The history of almanacs goes back
to very ancient times. The Greeks
of Alexandria certainly had them, al

are specicens of manuscript almanacs
dating from the thirteenth and
the fourteenth centuries, but
the first printed European al

was compiled by the astronomer Pur-
bach, and appeared some time be-
tween the year 1850 and 1861. 1t was.
however, Purbach's pupil Regiomon-

Carnegie that one While one of the
oil kings chief wifi has been $S,240,-

search, Mr.. Carnegie has given $15,-

cation board is the greatest single gift
one man has ever made in the history

Oil kings intention to increase 1t to
l0O,OOO,OO0 within the next few years.
Mr.. Rockefeller's big gifts, like Mr..
Carnegte's are always made in bonds
or railroads, steel and oil companies
1t has been many years since the
oil and steel king have met, but in
their early days they were frequent
ly together. They are about the same
age-Mr. Carnegie is 70 and Mr.. Rock
efeller II. Both started in life with
out dollar, and both became mil
lionaires before they were IS. AS
every one knows, Mr.. Carnegie made
his millions in steel and Mr.. Rookie
Teller his in oil. Both have given lib
orally to their home towns-Pittsburg
and Cleveland-a both now live in
New York They have many other
points Of resemblance, including their
un1aggtng interest in golf.
Rivalry of Maenflcence.
And now these two men, having &C.
cumulated greater individual fortunes
than this country has ever before
known, and having retired from &C.
tive management of the great corpo-
rations in which they are the dom
inant figures, are engaged in unique
rivalry of munificence. Each Is try
ing to see how he can give away the
greatest amount Of money to accom-
plish the greatest good. The philan-
thropies Of other rich men look almost
insignificant beside the regal gifts of
these two, though in proportion to the
wealth upon which they had to draw
other men may really have surpassed
them in generosity.
Today the live question in philan-
thropic circles is what will Mr.. Rookie
Teller do next? Other things being
equal, the man with the bigger bank
account should win the race. And
Mr. Rockefeller Is the richer of the
two.
But If he tries very hard Mr.. Car
negie ought surely to be able to graf
ify his wish to die poor!

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land of cot
ton of the results of four years use
of the food beverage-hOt Postum.
Ever since l can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and l myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
Il know it was that, because when
/ would leave it off for a few days
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up, even though realized how
harmful it was to me.
AT last l found perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago | abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and l also in
fiuenCed the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
Il no longer suffer from indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since l began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.
We appreciate Postum as a de-
1ightful and healthful beverage, which

FALLING FROM HEIGHTS
SCIENTIST SAYS SENSATIONS ARE
NOT UNPLEASANT.
Makes Story of Fall over Precipice an
Encouraging Account 70 Those
With inclination to High
Jumps.

A German scientist, Prof. Albert
Helm, who fell over a precipice in the
Alps but lived TO tell the tale, makes
that story very encouraging account
to those with an inclination to high
jumps and the like.
His fall was only 20 feet, yet that
would be more than enough to satisfy
temperate person. He has narrated
his sensations in minute detail.
At first he seemed to himself to be
flying through the air. His fall really
could have occupied only a few sec
onds, but his train of thought was
long and full of interesting detail.
Il clearly saw" he says, the posi-
bility of my fate. l said to myself:
The rocky wall from which am now
eing hurled prevents my seeing what
is at its base. The snow may be melt
ed there, or there may be none; If
there is any my life may be saved.
Otherwise death is inevitable.
If | am conscious on reaching the
earth l have by me a bottle of aro-
mates and my alpenstock. | will still
grasp it, for 1t may serve me in good
stead l thought, too, of removing
my eyeglasses lest their splintering
might cause injury.
Other and greater thoughts for
those l was to leave behind came
upon me. For myself | felt indiffer-
ent, caring really little whether
should be much injured or not; but
from motives of consideration for 9TH
ers | felt impelled, as it were, to make
light of the matter. | seemed to call
aloud, / am not much hurt
Il recollected that in five days more
| was to have delivered an inaugural
discourse, and thought of the grief
my death would have cause to those
near and dear to me. Anon, lying as
1t were, on the limit of a far distant
horizon, appeared distinct and divers
images and episodes in my past life.
The whole mental picture stood out
clear cut.
"All things seemed lovely and of
good report. There were no misgiv
ings, no anxieties, no sorrow, pain or
terror.
"Gradually a heaven OF glorious
blue, flecked with crimson clouds of
gossamer lightness, surrounded me.
In them ! was waited to and fro
borne up from below, but painlessly
and pleasantly, while a vast and NOV
ing snowfield seemed to accompany
me.
Then came a dull thud, which
heard very distinctly, but did not feel
and my fall was ended. At that in
slant dark veil passed before me.
II called aloud three or four times,
I am not much hurt grasped my
glasses, which lay near me, and touch
ed my limbs to make sure they were
not broken.
Then | saw my companions slowly
approaching. They told me good half
hour had elapsed after my fall before
| spoke.
II had lost consciousness, and that
explains the dark veil. Later my
power of thinking returned. l was
conscious only so long as l was falling

Differ in Ideas of Giving.

Then it will be Mr.. Carnegie's turn
to think how he can Guido his rival.
When he reads of the latest Rockefel-
Ter gift, after hearing the huge pipe
organ in his Fifth avenue mansion be-
fore breakfast, he will try to find
some new field in which more Of his
millions can be planted. And so in
another few weeks or months we may
look for another big gift from Mr..
Rockefeller to be followed BY a still
larger one from the Laird of Skibo."
Giving away money has with these
men taken the place Of the desire to
pile up additional millions. They have
their own ideas about giving it away.
They seldom give large sums with
out imposing rigid conditions. Almost
invariably Mr.. Rockefeller requires
that his beneficiary raise similar
or even greater amount from other
sources. Before even the smallest
amount is given the object is care
fully investigated. Mr.. Carnegie is
equally careful. Skilled investigators
report on every application for char
ity. Only the most noteworthy re-
quests are granted.
Messrs. Rockefeller and Carnegie
have their prejudices and their weak
nesses. Both also have their hobbies.
