Although the elephant .is one of the most sagacious of animals, and generally a model of docility, it sometimes .shows freaks of temper ÿ ; and'on account of its huge strength, it then becomes a dangerous beast to handle. Harper's .Weekly describes describes a struggle that the keepers of a zoological park recently had with a big male elephant. He was in a wild rage, and seemed to be on the ..point of breaking away, so the keepers hurriedly decided to replace the chain that was attached attached to his tusks with a stronger one. Chains were first fastened -to his forelegs and about his neck, so that the free motion of his head was checked. In this condition, the ele- panic in warfare. As one military authority has put it-,- "Properly led and armed, 1,000,000 Gurkhas, if. obtainable, would walk" through.. Europe." There are, however, only: ten regiments of Gurkhas in the In-' dian ' army, each consisting of two battalions of about 800 men. Exactly ho-w many of. these are at, the front at the present time it "is difficult to say. ' But whatever the number, they. may be reckoned upon to make the Kaiser change, his opinion of French's "contemptible little army." --* = I .- lewe-a aiaa-CK iuh-v w o. 1 -- -- - . . *, , Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale phan-t was chained to the front ot People build up the blood and en- the indlosure. It was then found A New Apron. Aprons lose most of their terror if they'are attractive, so an apron that follows the latest note m fashion is sure to be popular. Such is the new basque apron, a pattern for which is sold now by yne of the pattern companies. It is made with a long-waited basque section, that is closed either m the front or back with a long row of buttons. There is a flopping ss^sh at the.:back. When the apron ' is buttoned in front it looks like a basque and long tunic, for the lower part flares quite as the new. tunics are supposed to flare. It is made without sleeves, or with long bishop sleeves. Arc Back Closings Coming? Rather insidiously have the new back closings crept- upon. us. We are all perfectly satisfied to go on buttoning or hooking or snapping ourselves down, the front. Ye have grown to think that the logical place for a collar to close is low on the front of our throat. And most women much prefer a skirt that closes at the front or the side. Yet here quietly the back closings have made their way into the fashion- and it seems as if the only thing to do was to-accept them. The long-waited basque dres-s was responsible in part for this change, and the moyen-age dress with its square neck in front has also helped helped to bring about the changing tendency. And all this simply goes able it to cast out the rheumatic poisons with'the natural secretions of the body. Thousands have tried this treatment with the most beneficial beneficial results. That every sufferer who does not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is neglecting the most helpful means of recovery is shown by the following statement. Mrs. Emeline Smith, St. Jerome, Que., says: "I was attacked with what the doctor said was inflammatory rheumatism. Tihe joints of my hands, feet and limbs were badly swollen, and. I suffered the most excruciating pain. Notwithstanding, medical treatment the trouble became so bad that I could not go about. My appetite began to fail me and I was growing physically weak. A neighbor who had been benefitted by Dr. Williams' Williams' Pink Pills advised me to try them and I decided to do so. In the course of a few 7 weeks I noted some improvement, and my appetite began to return. Then the swelling swelling in my joints began to disappear, disappear, and it was not long until I was perfectly cured and I have had no return of the trouble."

In the course of an article in the Nineteenth Century on "Belgium in War," a record of personal experiences, experiences, Mr. J. H. White-house that one of the clamps on the tusk was broken. In order to replace it, the animal had to be thrown down, and a rope was drawn about his hind legs. This rope was passed through a block, and the chains of his forefeet forefeet being 'held firmly, the men hauled away slowly 'but surely and drew the elephant's feet from beneath beneath him. He struggled fiercely, but the block and tackle were too much for him, and he was finally drawn down upon his haunches, after which the chain that held his right forefoot was crossed to the left side of the inclosure and drawn taut. The difficulty then was to roll the animal over on his side. iSeveral men entered the inclosure and pushed and tugged at him, but their efforts were without avail until until a rope, passed under his right foot and over his back, enabled the men to concentrate their efforts. As the elephant rolled over, the keeper jumped to his head, and while he was in this helpless condition, condition, the men removed the. iron clamp on the tusk, and fastened a stronger one in its place. When the work was done, they took the chain from the right forefoot, forefoot, and the elephant was permitted permitted to rise. At a signal from the superintendent the men jumped off. The other ropes were then eased eased and -the shackles taken from his feet. * "For years I was thin and delicate. I lost color and was easily tired; a yellow pallor, pimples and blotches on my face were not only mortifying to my feelings, but because I thought my skin would-never look nice again I grew- despondent. Then: my appetite failed. I grew very weak. Various remedies, pills, tonics and tablets I tried without permanent- benefit. A visit to my. sister put into my hands a box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills. She placed reliance upon them and now that they have made me a-well woman I would not be without them whatever they might cost.

Dear Mr. Editor: -- Thanks for' the privilege of appealing appealing through your columns on beha.f of the Hospital for Sick Children. The I-Iospital takes care of sick and deformed deformed children, not- only in 101 onto, but in the Province, outside of the city. This coming year, of all the years in the Hospital's history, has a more - serious outlook, ,as regards funds for - maintenance, than any year that has passed its calendar. So many calls are being made on the purses of the generous people of Toronto Toronto and Ontario, to help the soldiers of the Empire, that as I make my daily rounds through the wards of the Hospital, and see the suffering children children in our cots and beds, the thought strikes me as to whether the people will as of old, with all the demands made upon them, answer our appeal and help to maintain the institutiou that is fighting in the never-ending battle with disease and death, in its endeavor to save the stricken little ones in the child-life of Ontario. Last year there were 394 in-patients from 210 places outside of Toronto, and in the past twenty years there have been 7,000 from places in the Province other than Toronto. It costs us $2.34 per patient per day for maintenance. The municipalities pay for patients $1 per patient per day; the Government allows 20 cents per' patient per day;* so, deducting $1.20 from $2.34, it leaves the Hospital with $1.14 to pay out of subscriptions it receives from the people of Toronto and the Province. The shortage last year ran to $18,000. 1 Since 1880 about 1,000 cases of club feet, bow legs and knock knees have been treated, and of these 900 had perfect correction. Nearly all these were from different parts of the Province Province outside of the city of Toronto. Remember that every year is a war year with the Hospital; every day is a day of battle; every minute the Hospital needs money, not for its own sake, but for the children's sake. The Hospital is the battle-ground where the Armies of Life have grappled with the Hosts of Death, and the life or death of thousands of little children is the Issue that is settled in that war. Will you let the Hospital he driven from the field of Its battle to save the lives of little children for the lack of money you"can give and never miss? Every doTlàr maÿ provë' îtself a dreadnought in the battle against death, a flagship in the fleet that fights < for the lives of little children. Remember that the door of the Hospital's Hospital's mercy Is the door of hope, and your dollar, kind reader, may be the key that opens' the door for somebody's somebody's child. Will you send a dollar, or more it you can, lo Douglas Davidson, Secretary-Treasurer, Secretary-Treasurer, or, ' J. ROSa-àOBERTSON, Chairman of ttie Board of Trustee At Toronto. 1 >vv*r. j i i i i i
