Elephants.
Snmo elephants are said to bp pood
climbers. They make 111011* way up
and down mountains and through a
country of steep cliffs, where mules
would not dare to venture, and even
where men find passage difficult. Their
tracks have been found upon the very
summit of mountains over seven thou
sand feet high. In those journeys an
elephant is often compelled to descend
hills and mountain sides which are al
most precipitous. This is the way in
which It Is done. The elephant's first
manoeuvre is to kneel down close to
the declivity. One foreleg is then cau
tiously passed over the edge and a
short way down the slope, and if he
finds there is no good spot for a firm
foothold, he speedily forms one by
stamping into the soil if it Is moist, or
kicking out a footing if it is dry. If
the elephant is now sure of a good foot
hold, the other foreleg is brought down
in the same way. Then he performs
the same work over again with his
feet, bringing both forelegs a little in
advance of the first foothold. This
leaves good places already made for the
hind feet. Now. bracing himself up by
bis huge, strong forelegs, he draws his
hind legs, first one and then the other,
carefully over the edge, where they oc
cupy the first places made by the fore
feet. This is the way the huge animal
proceeds all the way down, zigzag,
kneeling every time with the two hind
legs while he makes footholes with his
forefeet. Thus the center of gravity
is preserved, and the huge beast pre
vented from toppling over on iiis nose.

Glass Bangles.
Both Hindoo and Mussulman women
wear glass bangles, and in tho North
west Provinces they are regarded as
sacred objects. If a glass bangle be ac
cidentally broken, its pieces must be
gathered together and kissed three
times. Every Hindoo woman wears
these ornaments until her husband
(dies, when she breaks them with a
brick or a stone, and substitute gold or
bllvnr ones, the sign in tile uortli of
.India that the wearer is a widow.
Thus it Is that the demand for glass
bangles is never-failing.

Why should this be the case ?
Because they have neglected themselves! Women
as a rule attach too little importance to first symp- iTM^amrvly

they will try to save the tooth, though many leave J
even this too late. They comfort thcmsclv;s with
the thought that they can replace their teeth; but jHWBI
they cannot replace their internal organs 1

had plenty of warnings in the form of bearing-down V \

THRILLING INCIDENTS AND DARING
DEEDS ON LAND AND SEA.
A Bicyclist llair-Kal*ini; Ride Down a
{Steep Hill With Seven Turn*—Awful
Experience of a Maine Cjuarryman Who
Wears a Mask—He Choked a Leopard.
Charles F. Cole, a Brooklyn cyclist,
"took" the big bill on the Mouut Ar
lington road near Hopateong, N. J.,
a distance of one and a quarter miles,
xvith seven turns in its distance and
a chop of 511 feet. The Nexv York
Times thus tells the story:
Wednesday afternoon at three
o'clock found Mr. Cole xvheeling to
xvard town. A fexv minutes before a
native, in answer to a query, told
him that the big hill xvas as much
as a half mile further on. Instead of
the hill being half a mile axvay, a few
more turns of his pedals brought him
right on the descent. A fexv more
turns, and the xvheel xvas racing like
a streak of greased lightning, for the
pneumatic brake had refused to xvork.
The xvheclmau's hair rose. Bringing
his feet into play, he tried the old
method of pressing the sole of his
right foot against the tire.
The sole was torn nil' in a jiffy by
the frightful speed the xvheel had
attained. Fences, trees and telegraph
poles flexv by, and Cole took a fresh
grip on the handle bars, with the sin
gle thought of keeping the machine
upright. Then he triod to catch the
pedals, but the lirst attempt tore the
heel off one of the shoes. In his fright
he xvas nearly unseated.
To make matters xvorse, just ahead
of him was a carriage proceeding
sloxvly doxvn the hill. Instinctively
Cole swerved to the right and shot
past like a bullet. As he xvas going
by he heard some one shout and
caught the xvords, "* • be
killed." Cole knew that to jump oil'
would be certain death, but it re
quired all the nerve at his command
to keep from jumping.
Fortunately tho turns down the
grade on either side were slight, but
even the slight sxverving nearly un
seated him. Around the turns and
then down the tangents the xvheel
flexv, gathering speed at every rex'olu
tion. The wind scorched his face,
and perspiration oozed from every
pore.
Finally the lack less rider approached
the last turn. It xvas sharper than
the others, and at the bottom of the
hill his pi.isage seemed to bo blocked
by a stone wall. Cole saxv hut one
chance for salvation, and, leaning far
to the right as he struck the bend, he
drew his wheel doxvn so that the in
side pedal dug into tho earth and the
outside one barely grazed tho xvall.
Just ahead xvas a stretch of sand and
gravel roadxvay. His speed slackeuod
xvith a jerk as the xvheel ploxved
through it, scattering tho sand like
xvavca on either side and throwiug hiin
ten feet or more. Over the handle
bars he went like a shot from a cata
pult, spraxvling into the gravel more
dead than alive, but having lived in
those fexv seconds of descent a century
or two.
The people in the carriage reached
tho spot a few seconds later, expecting
to find parts of Cole scattered along
the roadway. But they were pleasant
ly disappointed. When the bexvildered
wheelman took account of his injuries
a fexv brusies 011 his hip and a severed
small artery made up the sum total.
The artery xvas closed by an im
promptu tourniquet, and Colo sought
a doctor and tbeu limped painfully to
the train. He had had enough of
wheeling for one day.
Mac Donald*. Mask.
A mysterious figure, with an inde
scribable atmosphere of horror about
it, may be seen in a quarry at North
Jay, Me.
It is that of a xvorkman who wears
perpetually a black mask. He does
his work almost like any other man,
but never ntters a xvoril. The men
move about him and speak to him
and behave ns if he differed in uo xvise
from one of them.
But the stranger, when he sees this
silent man xvith a black mask in place
of a face, feels a cold chill run doxvn
his back. The fexv -visitors who have
seen him xvill never forget their exper
ience.
The truth is that he has no face.
His name is John Mac Donald. Ten
years ago when he xvas xvorkiug at his
present trade he fell a victim to a ter
rible blasting accident,
A shower of broken stone driven by
dynamite struck him. His face xvas
literally blown off. Eyes, nose, teeili
and a largo portion of both jaws xvere
oarried axvay.
It seemed a miracle that he should
live, but he xvas a man of splendid
physique anil he did. The pain, the
exhaustion, the sloxv heeling of these
terrible xvound xvould havo killed a
dozen ordinary men. The doctors had
a liberal education in treating him.
They had a hotter opportunity than
occurs once ill a century of studying
the nerves, anatomy and pathology of
a living human head.
The shreds of flesh and skin that
surrounded the wound xvere closed as
well as possible over the great gap.
But when the best had lioen done and
the patient had practically recovered
the sight was sickening. If Mac Do
nald had gone abroad xvith that awful
scar in place of a face, xvith the shat
tered bones of tho jaxvs and nose half
exposed, he would have horrified all
persons xvith a vestige of sensibility.
He xvould doubtless have excited pity,
hut it would have been a miserable
thing to do.
A mask of light black material was
made for him. It extends from the
top of the forehead to the throat and is
strapped on securely in two places,
above the ears and around the throat.
It serves both to spare the feelings of
others and to protect the scar.
The mask follows roughly the out
lines of a face, leaving depressions for
the eyes, a nose and a hole for the
mouth. He is able to masticate food
slightly with the remains of his jaw.
lie Cholccd a Leopard to Death.
C. E. Akely is said to be the only
man in the world who ever killed a
full-grown leopard in a contest upon
equal terms —the man as weaponless as
the beast. It happened in the Haud
desert, South Africa. Mr. Akely, who
is a taxidermist, was looking for speci
mens upon which to exercise his art.
The leopard may have been looking
for supper; at any rate, he was look
ing for a fight. Mr. Akely wasn't.
The fight was on his hands before ho
knew it. He had not even a knife.
The premium on life insurance for
Mr. Akely at the moment of the en
counter would have been 100 per cent,
and no takers; but he did not lose his
nerve. He fastened his fingers
around the leopard's throat and hung
on. Ho had always been an athlete,
and his gip was like iron. Man and
beast rolled on the ground, the leop
ard's claws tearing the man's flesh.
Blood from fifty wounds began to
flow, and Akcly's strength was failing.
But his hands were locked in a clutch
that even death might not have loosed.
When help came the leopard was dead,
the man barely conscious. He recov
ered ipiiokly, except that he had to
wear an arm in a sling for a month or
more.
Akely is now taxidermist of the
Field-Columbian Museum in Chicago.
He is just adding the dead leopard to
the great collection of stuffed auimals.
If the management could get hold
of the skin of the wildcat that was
stilled by a woman iu Sullivan, Me.,
some years ago it would make a good
companion piece. It was a hard win
ter, and an unprecedented number of
wild beasts had been driven down
from the northern woods. The wild
cat iu question was one of them, and
he was a monster.
The woman was hanging out
clothes. She had a sheet in her
hands, when suddenly she saw the
wildcat rushing toward her. She fell
over on top of it with the sheet be
tween them, and both went almost out
of sight in a snow bank. The unex
pected combination was too much for
the wildcat, and he gave up the ghost.
The woman was scarcely hurt at all.
A Swim With Mnn-Eatlnc Sharks.
When the cruiser Boston arrived at
Honolulu on her way to China early
last year, (liree of her men, seamen,
deserted. The Boston went to China
without them, but the cruiser Ben
nington was stationed in the port, and
the master-at-arms of her had no diffi
culty iu getting the three deserters.
They were brought aboard the Ben
nington and put in double irons. One
evoniug after dark the irons were taken
off their feet and hands for some pur
pose. The three men reached the top
gallant forecastle, slid down the anchor
chains into tho water and were off.
The Bennington then was anchored
about a mile from the Honolulu docks.
Honolulu harbor is alive with man
eating sharks. But sharks are natural
cowards; they fear the splashing made
by two or three men, and, down there
at least, will only attack a man when
he is alone iu the water. Half a dozen
gigantio sharks followed these three
deserting swimmers all the way to the
docks; but the men, who were experts
in the water, kept up a great to-do
with hands and feet in the water, and
the sharks kept at a distance of ten
feet from them all the way. When
they scrambled up onto the low docks,
however, tho sharks, apparently losing
their siowardliness, made a swoop from
underneath for tho men iu a body, but
got none of them. The men were safe;
but whon they were captured for the
second time they all said that they
would not do the thing - over again for
something handsome.
The Count and the null.
Count- Berberana, a wealthy noble
man of Spain, recently nad a narrow
escape from death at the horns of a
bull. Two animals which were being
driven to Burgos to take part in a bull
fight broke away from their keepers.
Among the wealthy young sportsmen
who started in pursuit was Count Ber
berana on the back of an Arabian
horse. He overtook one of the ani
mals after a race of nine miles, shot at
it, but missed his mark. The beast
turned, gored the horse to death,
threw the Count iu the air, badly
wounding him, and was about to jump
on him again when the gendarmes
killed the bull.

Shadow of a Sound Wave.
On observing an explosion of one
hundred pounds of a liitro-compound
from a distance of three hundred yards,
E. J. Ryers lately saw what he sup
poses to have been the shadow of tho
sound wave start from the point of de
tonation and travel in the bright sun

ments by Professor C. Y. Boys, the re
sult being a series of pictures by au
animatograpb, showing the wave us a
complete circle instead of a semi-ellipse
as it should be on the sound shadow
theory. The "Byves ring" is aston
ishingly black to the eye, though ap
pearing as a circular light shading in
the photographs. What is tho cause
is still uncertain, but it is pointed out
that the explanation given may be
tested by noting whether the phenom
enon appears when tho sun is

WILL BE SAVED DY A SLAVE.
An Old African to Use His Klondike
Gold for His Former Mistress.
Among: 1 lie lucky minors in the Klon- 1
dike is a former slave, a grizzled old
African who bears the high-sounding j
name of Sr. John Atherton. lie has j
dug out $30,000 in gold, and has a cou- |
pie of claims which may be reasonably
expected to yield SIOO,OOO more. He is
probably the one man in Alaska who
Is planning to do a novel act of charity ,
when the time comes for him to aban
don his mining work and return to the
civilized world.
Before the war Atherton was owned |
by a Georgia family which had a
large plantation near Atlanta. When
he got his freedom he drifted about the |
country doing odd jobs, and finally
struck the Yukon valley, where he got
work as a freighter. The ex-slave had
a hard time of it for years, and when
the Klondike excitement broke out he .
made his way to the gold fields. There |
he toiled in diggings which had been j
abandoned by white men until he found
a paying streak, since which he has
been accumulating money very fast.
When asked what he intended to do
with the $30,000 which he has now on |
deposit in Dawson City, Atherton said:
'Tin going back to Georgiu and buy '
the old plantation."
"Buy the old plantation? Why, what J
do you mean?"
"When I was a slave my master was
a rich man. He was Kind to me and
his daughter was just like him. Things
didn't go well with him after the war, j
and some years ago he had to inort- •
gage the plantation. Since then he
died, and his daughter is now living on
the old place alone. The time Is com
ing when it must be sold If the mort
gage is not paid, and then she will have
uo home. What I want to cio is to get
back to Georgia and buy up that mort
gage. Then I will turn the plantation
over to my old master's daughter and
nolKKly can drive her away from it."
"But she won't like the Idea of hav
ing one of her former slaves for a
boss."
"Huh! I don't want to be a bos.
I'll just stay around and look after
things for her like I used to. Some
body's got to do it, and I know she'd
rather have me than a stranger. It j
will take $30,(100 or $35,000, and the |
rest of my money will keep me well as j
long as I live."

Wife—You siw Mrs. Browser Inst
evening?
Husband—Yes, but not to speak to
| her.
Wife—What a siory ! I heard you
j were sitting with her for more than
two hours.
Husband—That's so; but it was she
: who did tlie talking.—Up-to-Dnte.
OuSen Sake ?
i Quien Snbe—who knows—is a phrase in
j very common use among the Hpaniurda,
and holps over many, many difficulties. It
is expressive. What the weather may be
the coming Winter, who knows? It may be
snowy, wet, stormy, cold, freezing, and
full of sickness and pain, who knows?
j Home of us to-day, hale and hearty, may
j lie on beds of torture or hobble about on
crutches, who knows. Before the Autumn
merges into Winter many inoy have symp
toms of approaching trouble; of the old
: rheumatism coming on, or of first, attacks
| begun; who knows? Who knows? That's
a conundrum. But there is one thing
| everybody knows, the best thing to do is to
be ready for the weather coming
i and to take hold of what is. Everybody
knows what is best. With St. Jacobs Oil in
; the house, everybody knows they have a
i sure cure for rheumatism, acute orehronic.
Jt is likewise known that in any stage of
it, the great remedy does its work of cure
! perfectly. If we suffer, wo need not ask
who knows, when it is so well known what
j is best.
Try Grain.O ! Try Graln-O !
I Ask your grocer to-day to show you a pack
age of Grain-O, the new food drink that takes
the place of coffee. The children may drink
it without injury us well as the adult. All
who try It like it. Grain-0 has that rich seal
brown of Mocha or Java, but it is made from
pure (jrains, and the mostdelicate stomach re
i ceives it without distress. One-quarter the
• price of coffee. 15 eta. and 25 ots. per package.
Hold by all grocers.
