I' Reformed by an Elephant. .One of the strangest stories of a drunkard's reformation is told in the Philadelphia Times. William H , a prosperous tradesman of Eastern Penn­ sylvania, lost his property through un- forseen business troubles, and, leaving his young family, went west to retrieve his fortune; but, discouraged by want of success, he took to drink, and finally became a degraded loafer. He drifted eastward again, and was seen in Troy, •' N. Y., hanging around liquor saloons. He had lost his manhood, and even his very name (having long been ashamed to be called by it), and men knew him as "The Worm of the Still." Once, soon after the arrival of a cir­ cus and menagerie combination to ex­ hibit in the city, the drunkard saw one of the keepers purchase a pailful of whisky for a sick elephant, and sneaked after, him to the circus tent, following the impulse of his raging thirst. The keeper put the bucket of whisky down before "Betsy," the sick elephant, and she drank about half of it. The in­ telligent brute knew it was medicine, .and did not propose to take more of it than she needed. The bucket, still half full of liquor, was left standing near -?jier, and the keeper's attention was called away for a moment. Hardly was his back turned when a bloated, red face was poked through under the canvas, and its pair of wa­ tery eyes were fastened greedily upon the bucket. Betsy fixed her keen lit­ tle eyes upon the intruder, stopped swaying to and fro, and waited to see what he would do. He did not notice her. The fascina­ tion of the whisky blinded him to every- . thing else. The bucket was beyond his reach. He drew himself under the tent until he could clutch it. The instant that he did so, Betsy fluag her power­ ful trunk around his waist, and whirled him up In the air. She did not mean him any harm, but he was tampering with her medicine, and she would not stand that. So he had barely time to give one wild shriek of terror, when she tossed him thirty feet away, where he struck against one of the ponderous wheels of a lion cage, and fell to the earth with one broken leg and three fractured ribs. She did not attempt to follow and hurt him, fqr . she had no malace. He was carried away on a stretcher to a hospital. The rest of the story is a pathetic ro­ mance. The wretched man's recovery • was so slow that fifteen weeks passed before he could walk on cratches; but in that long time the thorough hospital treatment had cleansed all the liquor out of him, and he had begun to look .something like his former self. One day, when a party of ladies vis­ ited the hospital, distributing flowers and reading matter to the patients, one 'of them, a handsome but sad-faced " young woman, stopped by his chair, and gazed at him as if strangely start- led. "Father," she said, "you do not re­ member me. I am your daughter Mary." i It was twelve years since she had .seen him, but she knew him. She had him conveyed -to her home as soon as possible, where,' in time, he was >'• restored to health, found good employ­ ment, and began a new life of sob.'iety .and industry,' which continued t> the 'last. • • ' *"" His adventure with the elephant, so neady fatal to him, proved the «--«• of his entire reformation. Ear Troubles in Children. The ear is responsible for a good many of the ills of childhood, and it seems very probable that it is oftener the cause of children's troubles than we generally have supposed. A tickling in the ear often causes a cough, and an ex­ cess of wax is a symptom of a number of troubles. A certain amount of wax is physiologi­ cal and proper; it is produced by a num­ ber of small glands in the ear, and its uses are the following: First, to keep the canal and the drum-membrane of the ear in a soft, moist condition, and thus favor their best action in hearing; no membrane acts well when it becomes too dry, and this the wax prevents. Secondly, it keeps out foreign bodies from the more important part of the organ of hearing; in this it is aided by the bunch of hair which grows at the entrance to the canal. Finally, it is said to prevent insects of all kinds from crawling, up into the ear, and not only doing damage there, but also giving rise to excruciating distress by the intense tickling which their presence would ex­ cite. The wax has a peculiar odor, often very faint, but still obnoxious to insects in general; . sometimes, however, the -vrax seems to have lost thisodbrifer- ous ^principle, or Abo insect does not sec-m V> object toit from some reason or other, taf it has .occurred that flies have ente red tlte-earund laid their eggs there, and maggots are not infrequeutly found in the ear. in case of excessive wax deposits, there is, in most cases, more or less deef- ness^due simply to the mechanical block- ing-up of the sound-conducting canal; in some cases this comes on suddenly, and then thjs is explained by the fact that some sudden jar has altered the position of the mass of wax, and pro- ?elled it against the drum-membrane. 'he deafness is not a total one but only partial, for even when both ears are af­ fected some Bound can still reach the interior of the ear. Another symptom which accompanies this condition, as frequently if not more so than partial tleafness, is the occur­ rence of peculiar noises in the enr. These vary considerably; those d - scribed most frequently are rumbling, hissing, drumming, music, sound of wave?, sound of a locomotive; or, as a little patient once informed the writer, she thought a "steamboat was in her ear." A third symptom less constant than the others is plain; it may, however, explain certain protracted ciying-spells in children. Finally, we may have symptoms referred to neighboring parts of the body, the head and the throat, as has already been explained. The best, and, in fact, only good method of cure for this trouble, is re­ moval of the wax and bathing the ears with tepid water. But this should al­ ways be done by professional hands. The ear has, perhaps, no greater enemy nor one more to be feared than the hair-pin, unless it be its equally de­ structive friend, commonly called the "ear-spoon" or "ear-clearer." A Shark Killed by Tobacco. We had not fished very long before a large shark put in an appearance and stopped our sport. We first knew of his presence by his greedily snapping oft' the fish from one of my neighbor's lines, having followed it up from the bottom. He executed this performance several times, and then the snappers stopped biting entirely. Not even a nibble could we get, so we hauled in our lines and commenced to pay our at­ tention to the shark. He was a mon­ strous fellow, about fifteen feet long, and he kept swimming round and round the vessel, sometimes on top the water and sometimes away dow deep below us, but always at a respectful distance. His reddish brown body oould be plainly seen through the clear transparent green water, and you may be sure he was the cynosure of all eyes. While we were talking I noticed the native pilot every now and then throw­ ing overboard one of the snappers we had so recently caught, and as the cur­ rent carried it a little distance clear of the vessel the shark would gobble it down, and in fact the intervals were so regular that Mr. Shark seemed impa­ tient when the regularity was broken by a little delay. We saw that our pilot had some ultimate, object in view, and it drew our attention to him. As he was born and raised on this coast, and had probably served his pilot's appren­ ticeship as a fisherman, he knew how to deal with his inveterate foe, the shark. Anyhow, we all thought so, and gave him credit for it, and although he did not say much he went about it in a very earnest manner. After having thrown over ten small fish, he selected another a little larger than the others, and with a stick of wood rammed a roll of chewing tobacco, nearly as large as a man's hand, down into its belly, and pressed its throat to­ gether again. He held it ready to throw, and as the shark came up, anxiously looking for his fish, he tossed it to him, and as it barely touched the water the shark turned over on its back and sucked it in. The shark then swam off as usual to the "side of the vessel, and tlieu below us, and was apparently rising again in expectation of another fish, when the nicotine commenced its Avork. His struggles and contortions were terrible to behold, as he darted here and there in a blind rage, and vomiting bjood, but as he swam, or was carried by the current away from us, his struggles grew gradually" less, until it ceased altogether. The tobacco had killed him.--Forest and. Stream. Directions on the Bottle. "I am going to send my boy to your gallery to have his picture taken," said a druggist to a photographer. "Think yon can manage him without me?" "Well, I should say so," was the con­ fident rejoinder. "I'm not so sure of that. You'll find him a tough customer to manage; how­ ever," he added, reflectively, "I can put the direction^ on the bottle," and he bade the puzzled photographer good- day. •In due time the druggist's son,-a mis­ chievous youngster, visited the photog­ rapher's gallery, and the artist found him indeed hard to manage. He ex­ hausted all the known devices for keep­ ing the bs»v quiet and invented several new ones, but in vain. Filially he re­ membered the apothecary's odd remark about direetioj;*, and ujioii inspection of the boy ln< di^mveml pasted ujion the bark of IIH the logeud: "To be well shaken liefore taken."

Gfiptthe otfcerdog, owned, raised, and trained by Bippey, waa certainly one of the most remarkable dogs I ever knew and deserves a more extended notice. He was a large black-and-tan hound with a caste of melancholy upon his countenance that would have excited Don Quixote himself. During the seven days we were out, after hunting on the high ridges a mile or more from water, where the low scrub furnished but little protection to the parched ground, I never saw him weaken or re­ quire a reprimand, although upon one intensely hot day, we hunted from 5 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. Hunting was with him a strictly busi­ ness proposition, and when out he wasted none of his energy in any other direction. We usually separated and kept along parallel ridges 200 or 300 vards apart, with the dog working in the gulch between us. where the deer were generally lying, which gave us better opportunities for a shot than any other method. From these elevated standpoints the dog was seldom ever out of sight of us for any great length of time. Fresh tracks could be seen everywhere, but he took no notice of them, unless it was quite certain the deer was close by, and after taking a trail he never gave tongue until the deer was routed out of his bed. He never seemed to lose knowledge of the position of his master, and would relin­ quish the chase and return whenever the deer succeeded in getting hope­ lessly beyond range unwounded. Some­ times when pressed by thirst beyond endurance he would go to the nearest place for water only to return immedi­ ately ; and at others, when the distance was too great, he would come to one of us and mtitely plead for a drink from our canteens, which, it is hardly neces­ sary to say, was never refused as long as a drop remained. When in camp he spent nearly the whole time, night or day, stretched out at full length upon the ground, only rising his head to be fed, seldom getting up even then. One cause for this, no doubt, was because the hot gravel of the hillsides wore out his feet. He took no notice whatever of the setter, never attemjfting either to play or quarrel with him, and I never saw him seek a caress even from his master, although when such were vol­ untarily given he gave faint signs of pleasure by a slight wag of his tail and a lowering of his ears.--Forest and Stream. The History of Tobacco. It is asserted that tobacco was in nse in China from the earliest times, but we have no certain knowledge that this was the case. If it was so the knowl­ edge of the plant and its uses have been carefully guarded by the Chinese, for it was not introduced into any other Or­ iental nation until after its discovery in America. When Columbus first land­ ed on the island of San Domingo, in the West Indies, he found tobacco in use among the natives there, who smoked it when made into small cylindrical rolls and wrapped into maize leaf. The In­ dians on the Continent smoked it in a pipe, and among all the tribes from Peru to Upper Canada, the first discov­ erers found the plant to be in Use, and to have been known to them from so early a period that the time of its first discovery was unknown. The smoking of tobacco with the Indians partook largely of the nature of a religious rite. The seeds of the tobacco plant were first brought to Europe by Gonzalo Hernandez de Oviedo, who introduced it into Spain, where it was cultivated as an ornamental plant till a traveler who had noted its use among American In­ dians, called attention to its narcotic properties. The name is said to have been taken from Tobacco, a province of Yucatan, though others derive it from Tobago, an island in the Carribean sea, and yet others from Tobasco, in the gulf of Florida. The practice of smok- iug the dried leaf became general in Spain, and its manufacture into snuff followed soon after. It was introduced into Italy in 1560, and about the same time into France. The first to bring the seed of the plant into the latter country was Jean Nicot, the French am­ bassador to Portugal, in whose honer tobacco received its botanical name nicotiano, whence the name nicotine, applied to a poisonous extract from the plant. Tobacco is said to have been first introduced inlo England by Sir Walter Raleigh. From these begin­ nings the use of the weed spread over the entire eastern continent. It did not become known in Asia until the seven­ teenth cenuturv, but was taken up by the Oriental nations with great eager­ ness, and they are now the greatest smokers in the world.--New York Graphic. Fast Work at Yale College. The bosses who superintended the excavation for Yale College's new build­ ing showed a curious wisdom in hand­ ling their men. The rivalry between the Italian and Irish laborers is very strong, and their bosses make a prac­ tical use of the race prejudice. The New Haven Times describes the pro- oess thus: In digging it is often neces­ sary to dig so deeply that the men are placed in layers. At the bottom the overseer places two stout, strapping young Irishmen; just above them a couple of Italians who are good workers, then two more Irishmen, and so on until* the surface of the ground is reached. The two Irishmen at the bottom, feel­ ing a contempt for the inhabitants of Italy above them, shovel like Trojans in order to load up the Italians with more work than they can do. The Ital­ ians, between two layers of Irishmen, have every incentive to shovel in order to knock out the Celts. The overseer stands above and keeps order. The only difficulty is that the side which is getting worsted usually makes pretense of getting up a quarrel and the workers come to blows. A continual war of words is waged and the Italian and Celtic gibberish that is flying around loose under the old Yale elms is a poor substitute for t)ie Greek and Latin roots that the staid old trees have been wont to hear. An Ambiguous Compliment. She was an amateur singer, and being called on to sing where there was no ac­ companiment, at once soared into the high notes, ending with a demi-semi- quaver that shook the windows and startled the professor. "And do you often sing without an in­ strument?" "he asked, surprised. "I always do," she answered promptly. "Wonderful! wonderful!" he 'ex­ claimed with enthusiasm, "but I believe it is quite common for young ladies to sing now without any music."--Deiroif Free Press. .

The physician who was being con­ sulted motioned his patient to a chair, and, after examining his thin locks, said: "You are drowning your hair. If you duck your head in cold water every morning you will duck the life out of your hair before you are thirty. Soap and water do not clean the scalp, but xot the hair. This is especially true with woman's hair, on account of its being long and thick. A better way is to thoroughly brush and comb the hair every day without wetting it. In the first place, invest in a long black comb with two grades of teeth. Rubber combs are the best. They are easier for the scalp, on aooount of being more elastic than metal and horn combs. A palmwood brush with wild boar bristles is inexpensive, and for real service equals any brush that is made. Black bristles conceal the dirt, and, and white ones are apt to bleach the hair; but the natural colored bris­ tles, containing a mixture of gray, brown and black, are the best. "At least fifteen minutes twice a day should be devoted to the hair. The toilet should be a dry wash, entirely performed with the comb and brush. First use the comb thoroughly^ sacking the scalp gently but, stead.ly, until the comb passes through the hahr with­ out showing dirt or darulriff. Wipe the comb on a towel frequently, and clean it thoroughly after using. After the combing, brush the hair vigorously, and finally use the comb to dress it." "But fifteen minutes is a long time to comb the hair." "I know it is, but it is the only way to keep a clean, healthy scwlp and get a glossy, natural dressing on the hair. The best way is to have a watch or clock in view, or you. will get tired and stop in eight or ten minutes. You can­ not be too particular in keeping the brush and comb clean. Do not soak the brush, but wash out the bristles occasionally, and when the brush gets so that it will not reach through to the scalp it is not fit for further use and should be throwii away. A person whose hair is growing thin, and who adopts this treatment, will not notice the benefit for some time. The change will be gradual and the full benefit will not be obtained in less than three years. If the treatment is persevered in, how­ ever, the result will be remarkable in every cane."--Mail and Express. Ex-Spcalier of the Assembly of the State of New York.

Kailroad laying over such a country must be an easy job. The principal difficulty to oontend with is a lack of water. The new Argentine Pacific Railroad from Buenos Ayres to the foot of the Andes has on it what is probably the longest tangent in the world. This is 34(5 kilometers (211 miles), without a curve. In this distance there is not a single bridge, and no opening larger than an ordinary culvert, no cut greater than one meter in depth, and no fill of height exceeding one meter. There is, almost an entire absence of wood on the plain across which the western end of the road is located. This has led to the extensive use of metallic ties, which will be employed on nearly the entire road. Interested People.

I called a doctor who pronounced it Sciatic Rheuma­ tism. Mv right side became paralyzed, leg Rnd arm badly withered, and my joint; were so stiff that there was but little action in them. About six weeks ago I began taking Hib- bard's Rheumatic Svrup, with marvelous re­ sults. It made me a' healthy man. C. D.
