How Elephants Cross a River That Has Steep Banks. It is a great sight to see a line of elephants crossing a river with steep banks. They go down slowly, striking the ground with their trunks before each step and never making a, slip or a miss, although you feel every minute as if they were going to take a header into the water. Then they wade or swim, as the case may be, and they swim beautifully, not hesitating to cross half a mile of deep water if need to-

I must say, liowever, that the sensation of sitting on the back of a swimming elephant is the reverse of pleasant. You fancy yourself on an enormous barrel which may roll round at any moment and take you under. Besides that, they swim so low in the water that you are sure of a wetting, which in India means an excellent chance of fever.

Having crossed the stream, they must climb to the top of the bank, and this is the most peculiar operation of all. Down on their knees they go and with trunk and tusks dig out a foothold for them selves, and so step by step work their way to the top, their position being sometimes like that of a fly climbing iffc) a wall. As they reach the top they give a lurch sideways and shoot one leg straight over the bank, then give a lurch to the other side and shoot out the other leg in tho same way, which brings them into the position of a boy hanging by his arms from the edge of a roof. Then they come to their knees and finally, with a great scrambling and kicking of their hind legs, bring themselves to level ground again.

In spite of these perilous ascents and descents I never knew an elephant to miss his foothold, although there was a case whore one of the herd got stuck in tho mud and sank gradually deeper and deeper until only his head and part of his back could be seen. The rajah ordered ten other elephants to be brought up, and they were hitched to the unfortunate animal, and by pulling together at the given word brought their bellowing oomrade out of the mud with a plomp like the pop of a thousand ton cork.—Times of India

3 THE NUMBER THIRTEEN.

Time Was When It Used to Be Consldered Lucky. Abstract science has not only done much for humanity in the arts, the professions and industries, but it has also done much in brushing away the cobwebs of popular superstition, and abstract science establishes the fact that 13 in anoient time? had quite a different meaning from the 13 of today. Oriental people found in 13 something divine, and hence something good. Thus it is in tho folhloreof the Persians, the Indians and the Hindoos.

Old Testament Jews were of tho same opinion, as Biblical students well know. Thirteen cities were especially dedlsated to tho priestly tribe 13 high priests descended from Aaron 13 kings sat in the high council of the anoients on the 13th day of the month Nisan the preparations for Passover began, and the holy incense oonsisted of 18 different odors.

It is well known that all the nations of the old world were in more or less intellectual rapport. The ideas of one tribe descended to the other. But it is certainly interesting to learn that the figure 13 bad its sacred and divine meaning also in Xtoerloa of yore among the long since axtinot tribes of the Inoas and the Azteos. The Inhabitants of Peru counted seven days, without any particular name, in tho week. Their year had seven times 52 days, or four times 18 weeks. The father was compelled GO support his illegitimate child to the thirteenth year. The Aztecs had weeks of 18 days, each with a speciol name. Their century had 62 years or four times 13. Their public arohices were Oi circular form, with a sun in the center of each of the 18 parts, and 13 were their tribes.

This is the urief ancient history of lS.and It may be said of modern times in Germany that even today a "baker's dozen" is 13—that Is, tho original 12 with one thrown in for luck.—«New York World.

No Wonder Jfm Went.

An excitcd middle aged lady bounced Into the local police station the other day and accosted the inspector on duty. "Where's my Jim?" she demanded. "Beg pardon, madarii—dog, I presume?" said the officer., "Don't you dare to presume nothing of the kind," snapped the'lady. ""Dog Indeed! No, sir. husband—my husband. He's missing—disappeared, decamped"— "You don't say so!" "But I'd have you to understand that I do say so, young man. How daro you sit there and flatly contradict a ratepayer— leastways the lawful wife of one? I'll report you, sir. Do you hear that? I'll report youl Where's my husband?" "My dear madam"— "How daro you call me your dear madam? Do you think I come here to be insulted? I tell you my husband has de camped, and you sit there like a dummy! What do you think of that?" "Well, madam," responded the polite inspector, "I haven't the pleasure of your husband's acquaintance, but I should say he's a very wise man. Constable Blunt, show this lady out."—Pearson's Weekly.

He Did It.

The Philadelphia Recortl teffs* of a teacher who had just finished explaining the use of the ditto marks, when she noticed one of her young searchers for knowledge searching for it in a half dime novel. So she made him stay after school and told him to write the sentence "At ways pay attention" 100 times.

In a very short time he gave a glad shont, "I've did itl" "What kind of iangtUlgS la that?" she remarked severely. "And you surely haven't had time to do it." "Well, I'm done it, then—anyhow, ben It is." He held np bis paper. The sen tenee was written onoe at the top, and the remaining surface was covered with dots. "But yon haven't done it," she exclaimed.

He gaxed at ber scornfully. "Coarse I have. Them's ditto marks. Made 'em 99 times. They're good things." What else was there to do but to let him go at once, which she did?

The Patron Saint of Uwren. Who, by the way, is the patron saint dt lawyers? A famous lawyer In Brittany onoe appealed to the pope tor a saint. Bis holiness proposed that be should go round a certain church blindfolded and lay hold of the saint neatest his band. Be stopped and grasped a certain image, crying, "This be onr saint this be our patron!"

When the bandage was removed** he found that, though he had stopped brfors the altar of St Michael, to bis honor be had laid hold not of St. Michael, bnt of tbe figure under St. Michael's !e««—the devil!—London Sketch.

Notions

This is, properly speaking, a notion store,—we buy and sell any sort of articles that we may take a notion to buy or sell. But time was when this store's notion department gave it's name to the entire store,—it was the predominatingly important department. To-day the notion department is absolutely complete. The whole towjti buys its needles and pins and "notions" here.

We seldom advertise these articles, they're seemingly so staple,—they sell so fast without advertising. But to-day we are going to mention some prices because there are some radical mark-downs and because telling of a few of the many interesting items won't hurt.

ConsignmentSale of Furs

We have received from a New York fur manufacturer —one who needs money.—a consignment of cheap fur collarettes. We are to place these furs on sale for a few days, to take off a small per cent commission and return the unsold balance to him. His letter to us recommends that we try to prevent there being any "unsold balance."

We know that the one thing necessary to sell the lot out complete is low prices so we have marked these collarettes very lowwonderfully low. You will And the greatest collarette bargains awaiting you here that it has been our good fortune to offer this season.
