How the Elephant Frees himself From the Tormenting Leech. One evening, soon after my arrival Sa Eastern Asam, and while the live elephants were, as usual, being led op posite the bungalow, I observed a young and lately caught one step to a bamboo—Btake fence and quietly pull one of the stakes up. Placing it un der foot it broke a piece off the stake, and, after it to its mouth, threw it a way. It repeated this twice or thrice, and then drew another stake and be gan again. Seeing that the bamboo was old and dry, 1 asked the reason of this, and was told to wait and see what it would do. At last it seemed to get a piece that suited, and holding it in the trunk firmly, and stepping the left foreleg well forward, passed the piece of bamboo under thearm-pit. so to speak, and began to scratch with some force. My surprise reached it* climax when I saw a large elephant leech fall to the ground, quite six in ches long and as thick as one's finger, and which from its position could not be easily detached without this scraper or scratch, which was deliberately made by the elephant. I subsequently found that it was a common occur rence. Leech-scrapers are used by everv elephant daily On another oc casion, when traveling at a time of year when the large flies are so tor menting to an elephant. I noticed that the one I rope had no fan or wisp to boat them off with. The mahout, at my order, slackened pace and allowed her to go to the side of the road, where, for some moments, she moved along, rummaging the smaller jungle on the hank. At last she came to a cluster of young shoots well branched, and, after feeling among them, selected one. raised her trunk, and neatly stripped down the stem, taking oft all the low er branches and leaving a line hunch top. She deliberately cleaned it down several times, and then, lav ing hold at the lower end, broke off a beautiful switch about five feet long handle in cluded. "With this she kept the flies at bay as we went along; flapping them oft* on each side every now and then. Say what we may, these are bona fide implements, each inteligent ly made for a definite purpose. ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

THE other day a fellow in a gin mill I exclaimed : 'Show me an actor and I'll show you a miserable, low-lived whelp.? He might have known that being in a gin mill, there would be an actor present. One was, and he was big and athletic. He stepped up to the fellow and said: 'l'm the actor!' The fellow thought he saw a thump ing ahead, and to avoid it promptly Teplied: 'Well I'm the miserable, low-lived whelp.' The actor believed ! him, j •it ked the sturdy farmer contemptuously. "No, j don't.' " I thought every donkey knew that!' exclaimed the rustic.

The proprietor of this celebrated modi* cine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER MANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long stand ing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no ease whatever will it fail to cure if the direo tioni are strictly followed and earried out In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fami lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It ia, however, prudent, ana in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially < in difficult and long-standing cases. Usu ( fUlv this medioine will not require any aid 1 to keep the bowels in geod order. Should the patient, however, require a eathartio medioine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonio, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suf ficient. BULL'S SARSAPARILLA is the old and reliable remedy for impurities ef the blood and Scrofulous affections—the King of Blood Purifiers. DR. JOHN BULL'S VEGETABLE WORM DESTROYER is prepared in the form of candy drops, attractive to the sight and pleasant to the faste. DR.
