The president of the Dressmakerse Protective Association frankly said at a recent meeting, "A woman may be dressed with the severest simplic ity, with the slightest expense, and yet be stylishly gowned if she wears the correct corset." It is interesting to note that the correct corset. used to demonstrate the new styles at this same meeting was the 0. B. a la Spirite. The highest type of the American Corset Makers' Art. The C.

Runtern Say That the Big Animals Display Little Cleverness. The process of elephant catching In India, as well as in Siam, tends to rather undermine one's settled notions of elephant sagacity and to create in stead the feeling tha: .. lot of sent mental tommyrot an m:isleading, Ig norantly conceived animal stories have been put forth about my lord the ele phant The literal truth Is that the elephant, for all its reputed intelli gence, is driven into places that no other wild animal could possibly be induced to enter, is in its native jungle held captive within a circle '.hrough which it could pass without an effort and bullied into uncomplaining obedi ence by a force the smallest fraction of its own numbers. Part of this is no doubt due to its exceedingly suspicious nature; the other part to its lack of orig Inality, to which latter defect, however, its notable amenability to discipline is attribultable. Apropos of amenability. Sanderson records mounting and tak ing out of the keddah, unaccompanied by a tame elephant, a female on the sixth day after her capture. and I saw on the lower coast of Siam an elephant that had been captured in a pitfall by natives three weeks previously rowed out on two lashed sampans to a small coasting steamer and successfully made to kneel that it might get through the port door between decks. Caspar Whitney in Outing. Worst of all Experiences. Can anything be worse than to feel that every minute will be your last*? Such was the experience of Mrs. S. H. Newson. Decatur, Ala. '-For three ears" she writes, "I endured insuffer Ible pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed in evitable when doctors and all remzedies failed. At length I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. I improved at once and now I'm completely recoved. For Liver, Kidney, Stomach and Bowel troubles Electric is the the only medicine. Only 50c. It's guaranteed by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. Could Distinguish Tread of a Flea. The quickness which some persons possess in distinguishing the smaller sounds is very remarkable. A friend of the writer has declared he could readily perceive the motion of- a flea, when on his nightcap, by the sound emitted by the machinery of his leap ng powers. However extraordinary this may ap pear, we find a similar statement 1s given in the ingenious work upon in sects by Kirby and Spence, who say, "I know of no other insect the tread of which is accompanied by sound, ex cept indeed the flea whose steps a wo man assured me she always hears when it passes over her nightcap, and that it clacks as if it were walking in pattens!" If we can suppose the ear to be alive to such delicate vibrations, certainly there is nothing in the way of sound too difficult for it to achieve. Cats and dogs can hear the move ments of their prey at incredible dis tances, and that even in the midst of noise which we would have thought would have overpowered such effects. Rabbits, when alarmed, forcibly strike the earth with their feet, by the vibra tions of which- they communicate their_ apprehensions sto burrows very remote. -Natare. Beware of Counterfeits. "DeWitt's is the only genuine Witoh azel Salve" writes J1. L. Tucker, of Centre Ala. "I have used it in my fam ily for piles, cuts and burns for years and recommend it to be the best Salve on the market. Every family should keep-it, as it is an invaluable house hold remedy, and should always be kept on hand for immediate use." Mrs. Samuel Gage, of North Bnsh, N. Y., ays: "I had a fever sore on my ankle for twelve years that the doctors could not cure. All salves and blood remedies proved worthless. I could not walk for over two years. Finally I was pers'uaded to try DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, which has completely cured me. It is a wonderful relief." DeWitt's Witch azel Salve cures without leaving a scar. Sold by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. ARISTORE AND 'ENGLISH. ['he Classic Author's Many Contribn.. tions to Our Vocabulary. During the middle ages Aristotle was ractically the'- only secular author read in Europe, for the priestly class were the only readers, and their learn ing was mostly confined to ecclesias tical treatises. It was during this pe nod. that the' English language was eveloping into its present form. Aristotle treated of every subject which came within the range of-a thought in his time and introduced many new branches of inquiry wlich have since become sciences. The terms used by him were adopted by every Later writer and are still In use all rver Europe, although variously cor rupted. The following list will give some idea of the number and power of Aris totle's word coining, which is revived in modern everyday English: Maxim, principle, subject, matter, form, end, final, cause, motive, energy, mean, extremes, metaphysics. He called his investigations about animals "histories," whence we call our science, which has the same end n view, "natural history," and in our universities the term "faculty" is a translation, corrupted in its passage through the Latin, of Aristotle's term for art.
