A tickling cough, from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop’s Coush Cure. And it is so thoroughly harmless and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it with o m ut hesitation, even to very young babes The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung-healing mountainous shrub, furnish the cura-

tive properties to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sensitive bronchial membranes No opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Simply a resinous plant ex tract, that helps to heal aching The Spaniards call this shrub _whic 1 the doctor uses, “The Sacred Herb.

Always demand Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. W. H. Nachtrieb. _ oTo check a cold quickly, get from your druggist some little Candy Cold Tablets called Preventics. Druggists everywhere are now dispensing Preventics, for they are not only safe, but decidedly effective and prompt

TEACHING ELEPHANTS. Tha Tall, Fat Lagged, Small Eyed Kind the Beat Pupile. On a number of points all elephant trainers agree, says Appleton’s Magzine. These are, first, that the tall, fat legged, small eyed elephant of big girth Is not only the handsomest, but also the most docile and intelligent of his kind; second, that an elephant is fully aware of his prodigious strength compared with man’s and that the reason an elephant obeys his master is not because he is afraid of him, but because he has an affection for him; third, you may beat a bad elephant to death or kill him by ramming red hot irons down his throat in an effort to press the “squeal of surrender” out of him, but the one and only way to train an elephant to perform tricks is through kindness and patience unending; last, but not least, without exception the intelligence of the elephant far exceeds that of any other animal. Elephant trainers maintain that training an elephant to perform is like teaching a boy circus riding, only less difficult. A number of the simpler tricks with which an elephant entertains his audience come as natural to him as the lapping of milk comes to a cat—for instance, the blowing of the mouth harmonica. Twenty feet to the right or to the left of the candidate to be taught to lie down four heavy stakes are driven into the ground, and from each of these runs a block and tackle connecting with each leg and manned by ten or a dozen men. When all is ready the trainer stands in front of the animal, raises his hook and “Down! Down!” he orders. The elephant pays no attention. He stands waving his trunk and swaying his body from side to side. “Dowm! Down!” shouts the trainer again, and upon a signal some forty men begin to heave and tug, the blocks squeak, the ropes creak, and while the trainer continues shouting his command the pachyderm’s legs begin to be drawn from under him. With a scalp raising trumpet, the startled creature begins to struggle, lashing w-ith his trunk from side to side and groping with its tip against the floor, frantically seeking for a hold to steady himself, but the relentless ropes continue to draw his legs. The huge beast leans at a forbidding angle, bellowing like a herd of steers and drowning the “Down! Down!” of the trainer. The great body begins to totter. For an instant it regains its balance; then it falls, crashing with a dull thud on to the bed of straw. Trumpeting like the screech out of a cracked steam calliope, the brute tries vainly to struggle to his feet, until at the end of three or four minutes he begins to realize that nothing so very startling has happened and that really he ought to feel very comfortable indeed. To teach him to stand on his head the trainer again uses the block and tackle. To forestall the effects of a bad fall the floor of the training stable is thickly littered with straw. Then the candidate is harnessed with chains and the bellyband and block and tackle as he was when learning to rear, the difference being that the chains from under the belly lead between the hind Instead of between the forelegs, so that the hindquarters instead of the forequarters may be raised.

A Wasp Nurs*. A story of how one wasp cared for another that had been injured is told by a gentleman who. while reading the newspaper, felt bothered by the buzzing of a wasp about his head and knocked it down. It fell through the open window and lay on the sill as if dead. A few seconds afterward, to his great surprise, a large wasp flew to the window sill and, after buzzing around his wounded brother for a few minutes, began to feel him all over. The injured wasp seemed to revive under this treatment, and his friend then dragged him gently to the edge, grasped him around the body and flew away with him. It was plain that die stranger, finding a wounded comrade, gave him aid as well as be could and then bore him away home.—London M. A. P. Cup Plates. "These cup plates assure us that this 100-vear-old china service Is the real thing,” said an antiquary. “They stopped making cup plates 100 years ago. Cup plates.” he went on. “show how table manners change. Now, do yon know what they were for? They were to hold your dripping cup of tea after you had poured a part of it into the saucer to drink from-so that the cloth should not be stained. Les, In the past, everybody drank hot tea from the saucer. Kings and queens, emperors and generals, all, with a gurgling sound, tilted the full saucer with careful balance to the lips. The cup, meanwhile, reposed on the cup plate. -Cincinnati Enquirer. Awful Blunder. Newspaper Office Boy - Oh. there’* been an awful time up in the editorial room today! Business Manager-Eh?
