The Maharajah of Durbhunga hav ing given Lady Curzon, wife of the "Viceroy of India, a herd of elephants, she hos devised elephant parties as the latest social function. On these occa sions each animal carries a young woman and an attendant young mon to rendezvous, where tiffin ls served. Lady Curzon rides In a howdah of silver, protected by a white silk um brella, embroidered with pearls. Her mahout carries a silver goad and the. 'fly-fan trappings of the elephant are ?embroidered with silk and gold, while 'festoons of pearls hong 'round his ears. ; Her elephant testifies his affection by snatching treasures from passers-by cr bazaars and bestowing them on the rider. This becomes a trifle embar rassing at timas, especially when the gift takes the iorm of a little brown bby with nothing on except a string of beads about his neck. The little ! fellow was the son of the elephant's j feeeper, and the particular friend of the ,'animal, which evidently thought his ?two favorites should be together. The little brown boy returned home a richer and happier child. Australian Herders' Lonely Uvea. Not even Its greatest ^admirer could call the Australian bush beautiful.

At far intervals you come across a squatter's clearing, -with its little com munity of human beings. Deeper still in these solitudes, alone and almost lost, live the shepherds and bushmen, each on Alexander Selkirk marooned in a great waste of grass or forest. Once a month they are visited and their rations carried to .them, but for the rest they live in solitary exile, the only companions their sheep, cattle and dogs., Cut off from human intercourse, they almost lose the faculty of speech, and become as witless as their sheep or. cnttle. And when they return to civili zation for the short holiday that is allowed them it^is too probable that they hand their '"cheque" for the half year's wages to the proprietor of the shanty known as the "Bush Hotel," and stay there to drink lt out.-New castle (Eng.)

GERMAN KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau St., New York. oV^otThompsoa't Ey Wajttj HEROIC WOMEN'S WORK. Slade Baps For Defense of 10cirritions, "While Caniinns Roared. Lady Macdonald, Mrs. Conger and the other ln,dies of the legation offered their curtains and portieres for use, and the scissors ruthlessly cut un most exquisitely embroidered draper ies into sand bags, while those who were in charge of the fortifications continually sent messengers asking for "more, more." One of the mission la dies had just laid in a new supply of table linen, and some of the native Christians, Unding it and knowing whose It was, brought it to her. This, with all like material,, was used, as were drawn-work linen sheets" and pillow caces, while bolts of rare dam ask ilnen were 'cut up without com punction. In fact, all sense of cost, and even sense of beauty, seemed to be lost In the eager desire to furnish the means of protection to human lives. Besides these beautiful things thus sacrificed there were also used common ' materials, such as old Mon gol tents, hangings to Sedan chairs and stacks of old Chinese clothing. These were cut out and sometimes sewed by foreign ladles unused to other than delicate work. However, the foreign ladies were greatly assist ed by the Chinese girls of the mission schools, and by the women of the fam ilies of native Christians. Of the for mer there were some 150. Beside the supplies brought from the foreign stores there were grea1: rolls of cotton cloth, also of silk and brocade satin, from Chinese ctores. The Chinese at their funerals wear special garments. Many of these were used, the long, large sleeves being well suited to the purpose of bag-making. It was a" con tinual surprise, that new supplies from new . sources came in each day as needed. The housekeeping committee and those who worked in the diet kitchen were particularly hard worked, being constantly busy, and exhibited an In genuity in planning and preparing ap petizing edibles that was marvelous. The. materials were horseflesh (called pony meat), coarse wheat Cour aud a dark-colored rice. These were the sta ple materials. There was a small quantity of- canned meats, which was used as an occasional relish. The white rice and all delicacies were re served for the bdbies and the sick. One of tho missionaries told me she went each day to another part of the legation, in constant danger of flying bullets, to get a slice of white bread for her sick baby. The vornan having the flour baked a loaf each day. not for the use of her family, but for the sick. While there were three ladies on the standing committee of housekeep ing, all the ladies took their turns in looking after the cooking, serving, ta ble setting, etc. As there were sev enty in this family they were divided into three messes. And it was neces sary to have three of each of the meals. As the dining room was also living and sleeping room, it required 'much work to keep it in presentable condition. One of the hardest things to bear was the utter impossibility of having quiet. There were times when it was unsafe for any one to be out side the building, aud all work had to be done with a large number In tho room. Outside was the roar of artil lery; inside, three busy sewing ma chines, and women and children, and servants at work, besides all the men not required outside on the fortifica tions or at the mill. This constant noise-and Impossibility to be alone was more wearing upon the nervous system than any amount of work. Leslie's Weekly. Take Children Inlo Partnership. A lady was recently speaking of her plan to keep all business cares and anxieties from the knowledge of her children-keeping everything depress ing out of their life, she called it-that they might be free to enjoy them selves ns long as possible, with no feeling . of trouble or responsibility. "But will that really add to their hap piness In the long run?" asked an old er mother, dissentingly. "We have al ways tried to take our children Into partnership-to have them share our plans and Interests, and let. them know -what we are trying to do and what we have to live on. It seems to me that successes are more valued if they come as something one has hoped for and helped to work for, and re trenchments are more easily borne If they are Intelligently agreed upon in the family council instead of forced upon the younger members with only the bald statement that we cannot af ford this or that. It strengthens the family tie if the children feel that lt Is our home, our business and our inter est; if they know that their opinion ls considered and that their votes count; it ls a means of education in wisdom, self-control and unselfishness. Life's best good for all of us lies in its disci pline; not in escaping its burdens, but in learning how to bear them.-Leslie's Weekly. Short Bolero Coats. All the new coat costumes for win ter wear show the abbreviated bolero coat, but the prettiest have some fash ion of basque, either pointed, tabbed or breaking up the plain edge in some manner. Even the bolero which reaches to the waist at the back runs down into tabs or points in front, and the sack coat terminating on the hips shows slightly elongated scallops at the front. Many boleros are single breasted, but slope across and fasten with clasps or a couple of fancy buttons on the left side.

Young in years, but full of vigor and buoyancy of youth, pretty Bertha Walz, a girl of 1G, has a career as a ferry maid on tho Ohio river that for the novelty of its features ls rarely surpassed. For months the young girl has been the sole support ol' her mother, young er sister and brother. Week in and week out, unaided and alone, she has plied her big ferry skiff back and forth across the Ohio to secure means for providing for her helpless mother and sister. ' ' Bertha lives with her mother in nn old, but neat-appearing houseboat, on the banks of the Ohio river, near tho Pressed Steel Car Company's works, in lower Allegheny. This boat has been her home for the past six years. The Idea of running a regular ferry came to her through the suggestions of mill men who cross the river at thia point to the McKee's Rocks side to and from their work in the big mills. Partly through the efforts of gener ous contributors a skiff was procured and the girl entered upon a new career. She found her -task rather arduous at rlrst, and her fair young hands were covered with mauy a blister at the end of a day's toil. But soon tho muscles of her arms bade fair to rival those of the ciack oarsmen of a 'varsity crew. Now she thinks nothing of rowing six or eight stalwart men over the river on a single trip. Some days she make? as many as forty trips, and has been known to .take in as much as $3 a day as a result of her toil. The widespread popularity of her ferry, however, aroused the ire of less favored ferrymen living in shanty boats near by. First, her best skiff was stolen, and later a new one'was turned loose on the river. Finally, she was not permitted to land her. skiff on the McKee's Rocks shore1 at the large landing, but was" made to run her boat in at some obscure point. Consider able trouble arose over the ownership and use of a pair of wooden steps leading down the river embankment to the shore. The climax was reached one night last week. Richard Grif feths, a ferryman, tried to lay violent hands on her. Only the timely appear ance of a mill man and the presence of ber faithful dog, which usually accom panies her for protection, saved hei from serious Injury at his hands. As a result, suit was promptly entered against Griffeths on a charge of disor derly conduct before Alderman Lynch. At the hearing Griffeths was fined $10 and costs, or 20 days in jail. The' steps claimed by Griffeths as personal prop erty were declared to be government property, and it was directed that the fair prosecutor was fully entitled to their use.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele graph. Cuarding the Teheranh. When the electric telegraph was flrsi Introduced into Chile a stratagem wai resorted to in order to guard the post* and wires against damage on the part of the natives and to maintain the con nection between the strongholds on the frontier. There were at the time be tween forty and fifty captive Indian! in the Chilean camp. General Pinto in command of the operations-callee them together, and, pointing to the telegraph wires, said: "Do you see those wires?" "Yes, General." "I want you to remember not to gc near or touch them, for if you do youi hands will be unable to get away." The Indinns smiled incredulously. Then the general made them each ID succession take hold of the wire al both ends of an electric battery in full operation, after which he exclaimed; "I command you to let go the wire!" "I can't; my hands are benumbed!" cried each Indian. The battery was then stopped. Not long after the general restored them to liberty, giving them strict instructions to keep the secret. This had the de-, sired effect, for, as might be expected. the experience was related in the strictest confidence to every man in the tribe, and the telegraph has ever since remained unmolested.-Tlt-Blts. As to Vaccination. The small wire cages now used to protect the vaccinated arm from rub bing against people, clothes and cor ners of houses would have been highly appreciated years ago. In the young days of the century we boys and girls had no sort of protection. In not a few cases re-inoculation was constant ly occurring, because we would persist In scratching the sore and transfering an atom of the virus to some other part of the body by means of the finger nail. Then we liked a big scar. It meant that the vaccination /'took" well-Victor Smith, in New York Press. M3 story. "There is something very myste rioub about this burglary," said the detective.

X. teHs us that the most wonderful thing, not only iii the Exposition but In Paris itself, just now is the trees. Paris is the most beautifully shaded capital in the world, he says, and to have thrown this gigantic structure across the heart of its bloom, and still kept that fresh and greening, is one of the most astonishing feats accom plished by its makers. Being a statis tical person, X. has told us all sorts of Interesting facts about Paris trees. lt would be a singular lack of respect for them, It appears, to imagine that, like Topsy, they had "just growed." Each one has to have a special envir onment created for lt, to begin with. An artificial soil three metres wide by one metre deep. Under the asphalt which covers its roots there must be a complicated and highly perfected sys tem of drainage. And still another trlnmph of science ls to bo found in the means for protecting its leaves from the exhalations from the gas-jets in tho branches. So each tree costs the city of Paris 170 francs to plant, and the cost of keeping up the green which or naments her gardens, squares, streets, and boulevards is just 2,000,000 francs a year.-Harper's Bazar.

There are two divisions, one for dis tances of under 05 miles, the other for longer distances, and in each division ?three rates - namely, for packages weighing less than 15 pounds; between 15 and 20, and between 20 and 65. The stamps issued are 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 centB and 40 cents. All such parcels are sent by express. The time of trans port ls guaranteed to be not longer than ten hours for 05 miles.

A Philadelphia policeman has told how he encourages early rising in his sons, two boys of about the same size. "I have two suits for them," he said; "one now and expensive; the other very old and ugly and worn. They own these suits in common, and the boy who gets up'first in the morning wears the good one as a reward. Both boys tire fond of dress, and so this scheme works well. The minute I shout, 'Boys, get up!' they spring out of bed and make a rush for the new pult Sometimes they reach it togeth er, when there will be a hot fight over who's to wear it, and I have to come up and restore order with a hair brush." Weary Womengei Stresvg?fo ansi Vlgo from Dr. Greene'swervura. ?HE had planned to go out^ ker husband, but her strength failed her. Her nerves were excit ay t\Qjjf and when night came she just couldn'^ the courage. It is the old story of weakness ancgj-yougness taking the pleasure out of life and filling it \^ discontent and suffering. It is not honest fatigue flitting from the daily task; it is weariness born of weakss and ill health. The ideal strengthener for wea women is Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It builds them up in every Ty hy toning up the blood and strengthening the nerves. Nothing else in the world can do orvura's work. It seeks out the weak spots and strengthens them. It en riches the blood and gives it a healthy circulation, thus putting new life into the entire body. Strength to overcome the general discouragement is followed by the ambition to be well. A few nights of sound, refreshing sleep brings a new sensation of acquired strength. How ready now is this woman for every duty and every plan for pleasure ! The new color in her cheeks shows the potent work of the vegetable ele ments in Ner vura. This woman is now a cured woman, and* such transforma tions are occurring in every community through the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura. If you are run-down and discouraged, here is the certain help. MRS. OLIVER WILSON, of North boro, Mass., says: " I was suffering from nervous ness, caused by female weakness and nervous prostration. I was so ner vous nnd weak I could not go up a common pair of stairs without stopping to rest, and troubled to sleep at ni^ht.
