ELEPHANT BLOCKED THE WAY.

Engllxh Clergyman While Cycling Has a Strange Experience. This story comes from Birmingham, England: The clergyman of a neighboring town was returning home on his bicycle. He had been preaching in an adjoining village, and this means of locomotion was the one most suited to his tastes and to his convenience. The night was dark, and the rays of the reverend gentleman’s lamp did not pierce far into the gloom. Suddenly something seemed to loom large, vague and ominous before his eyes. He had a short sensation that he was rushing on to some unknown doom; there was a collision with something soft and of shape most curious, and away flew the machine one way and the cleric the other. When the reverend cyclist had pulled himself together he heard noises, and there was a gleam of a lantern near at hand, flickering as though indicative of much agitation. Through the darkness came a sleepy-looking man, rubbing his eyes. From him the cleric discovered that there was an elephant stretched across the rather narrow road. The animal had been as awkward as “My Lord the Elephant” of Budyard Kipling creation. True, he was not blocking a pass, but he had fallen in the road on his side, and had stopped there, refusing to move. He belonged to a circus, did this trunked obstruction, in course of transition from one town to another, and since his fall had been left in charge of two men with lanterns, who appear to have fallen asleep. Beyond a few quiet and qraint utterances, the elephant did not mind. What the front wheel of the bicycle thought about it is not known.

GIANTS OF PATAGONIA.

The Tehnelches Average But Little Under Six Feet. The tribes to the east of the Cordilleras, in southern Patagonia, belong to Araucanian stock, and are a superior race, says the Boston Transcript. The Tehuelches—as they call themselves—of southern and eastern Patagonia are the people tvhose unusual stature gave rise to the fables of early days to the effect that the natives of this region were giants, averaging nine or ten feet in height. It is a fact they are the tallest human beings in the world, the men averaging but slightly less than six feet, while individuals of four to six inches above that mark are not uncommon. They are in reality by no means savages, but somewhat civilized barbarians. They arc almost unacquainted with the use of firearms, notwithstanding some contact with the whites, but they have plenty of horses and dogs. Unsurpassed hunters, they capture the guanaco and the rhea, or Sopth American ostrich, and from the skins of these and other animals they make clothes and coverings for their tents. Thej’ make beautiful “capes’’ or mantles, of fur and feathers, which are highly prized by Europeans and find a ready market, most of the proceeds being spent for bad: whisky, which is brought into the country in quantities by traders.

SEAL CATCHES KILLIES.

Lightering s« a Swimmer, Much Faster Than the Little Fish. Almost all the larger fishes of the aquarium like killies to eat when they can get them, and in this respect the New Hampshire seal is like the fishes. There is a great disproportion in size between the seal and the killie, but there is nothing clumsy about the seal, and, big as it is, it is a lightning swimmer, and it can double on itself with the greatest facility. It is much faster than the kil'le, and the killie is powerless to escape it, says the New York Sun. On being tossed into the pool the killie makes off from where it struck the water as fast aS it can go, with the seal after it. There are steps at one end of the pool leading to the platform on which the seal sleeps at night. The killie may hug one of these steps, but it does not thus escape. The seal humps it up there and catches and eats it, or starts it out across the pool again. The seal can get it practically whenever it wants to. When chasing up the killie the seal sometimes flaps its side flappers like wings, and then it seems like a big bird rushing along under water. It would take a good many killies to make a meal for the seal, and they are rarely fed to it—only xvhen the seal is a little off its feed and needs something different as an appetizer.

The Gold Product.

The preliminary estimates of the director of the mint indicate that the world’s gold product for 1897 amounted to about $240,000,000. This is an increase of nearly 20 per cent, over 1896. All of the great sources of supply show a gain. The United States leads the list, with a product of $61,500,000; but is closely followed by Africa with a product of $58,000,000, and Australia With $51,000,000. Russia, Mexico, Canada and India follow in the order named—Russia with $25,000,000, Mexico with $10,000,000 and Canada and India each with $7,500,000.

TO CONSUMPTIVES, As an honest remedy, Foley $ s Honey and Tar does not hold out false hopes in advanced stages, but truthfully claims to give comfort and relief in the very worst cases, and in the early stages to effect a a cure. A. F. Long. AN HONEST MEDICINE FOR LA GRIPPE George W. Waitt of South Gardiner, Me., says: “I have had the worst cough, cold, chills and grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to the vendor. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the only thing that has done any good whatever. I have used one 50-cent bottle and the chills, cold and grip have all left me. I congratulate the manufacturers of an honest medicine,” For sale by F. B. Meyer. THERE IS NO ? ABOUT IT No question indeed with those who have used it, but that Foley’s Kidney Cure is absolutely reliable for all kidney and bladder diseases. A. F. Long. I have private funds to loan on real estate at low rates for any length of time. Funds are always on hands and there is no delay—no examination of land, no sending papers east —absolutely no red tape Why do you wait on insurance companies for 6 months for your money? I also loan money for short times at current bank rates. Funds always on hand. . W. B. Austin. A SHORT SAD STORY. A Cold. Neglect. Pneumonia, Grief, Had Foley’s Honey’ of Tar been used, this story would have had a happier ending. A. F. Long.

FOR LA GRIPPE Thomas Whitfield & Co , 240 Wa-bash-ax., corner Jackson-st., one of Chicago’s oldest and most prominent druggists, recommecdod Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for la grippe, as it not only gives a prompt and complete relief, but also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. For sale by F. B, Meyer. ' -- T » 1 Glad Tidings to asthma sufferers. Foley’s Honey and Tar gives quick and positive relief in all cases. A. F. Long. DANGERS OF THE GRIP The greatest danger from La Grippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we havd yet to learn of a single case haoing resulted in pneumonia which shows conclusively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by F. B. Meyer. After Holiday Bargains. Everything exquisite in the Millinery line.
