The introduction of a typewriter envelope, as a universal boon to caro ! ful typewriters, proves how extensive ly commercial correspondence is carried out by mean- of the ingenious typewriting machine and how manu facturers of the day are constantly on the alert to meet every need in all that concerns art and industry. The peculiarity of these novel square en velopes is to offer a splendidly oven surface and regular thickness of puper just in the space where the address has to be written. In this wise, whatever typewriter is employed, any unslightly ••shadowing” is avoided and perfect alignment secured. It is worth noting, too. as a sign of the advance of modern civilization, that the very first pat cel of the new in vention dispatched from Kngland was for Kejkjavik, which boasts of the only typewriter in the whole o 1 Iceland. _ Don't Tobacco Spit ami Smoke Your Lila Awsji.

Some fishermen at Kidder pore, on the Hooghly, had captured a crocodile, and being unable to kill it, were compelling it to accompany them to tho ncarcs. police station— ! were ••running it in," as we say—for | the sake of the reward usually ! offered for such creatures. On the way a native gentleman met them, and persuaded mem, tor a orioe to allow tho animal to return to tho river. In doing this foolish action he argued that, having shown kind ness to it, tho crocodile would not attack him and his family when they wont to bathe. It is to be hoped that the pious inun possessed more sense in the water than he owned on shore, else his life would not be worth the purchasing if he came within reach of that selfsurne crocodile.

WITH MARVELOUS EASE BY A FAKIR FROM PUNJAUB. lie Had Amazed I’arls—Rut After All the Trick Id Very Simple. Though Requiring Great Dexterity Carried in Small Pieces. RRAYED In a gown of spotless White, his coal black hair covered by a snowy turban, with many folds, an Indian Juggler, who calls himself the Nawab of Jella bad lias been start ling the people of Paris nightly with a marvellous trick and then poking fun at them with his explanation of how simple it is to do It. It Is not so simple a trick, perhaps, to the un skilful, for It Is nothing less than the production of a bicycle from beneath that flowing cloak, where the greatest doubters In all the audience would have sworn no bicycle could have been concealed. Inasmuch as It Is manifestly Impos Him' iu i (ii <1 in a |n et or under the arm without being seen the onlookers puzzle their brains In vain to discover how on earth this seemingly remarkable man is going to carry out the promise he has made. They are not long In discovering that he means to perform exactly what he has promised. Suddenly there Is thrown to him by bis assistant a large sheet of ordinary muslin, folded. He unfolds this sheet in full view, and then, bowing politely to those who arc watching him, flings it over himself and disappears beneath the muslin cloud. Beneath the muslin he remains, but the muslin Is In plain sight of every one, and too far from anything to per mit even the suggestion of aid from an outside source. The cloth undulates like the tall grass on a rolling prairie, when the wind is blowing In stitflsh fashion. There are regular billows. Then, here and there, appears a sug gestion of some object. All at once the muslin shows the distinct outline of a wheel. Then the excitement be comes intense. ‘‘Why the man Is really going to do It!" is heard on all sides. The cloth moves more violently. A click, dick, sounds clear and distinct from under the muslin. Then the cloth shakes vigorously. Suddenly It rises as if impelled by a dozen hands, and almost simultaneously with that rising there darts from beneath it the figure of the Jugglpr, riding a silver mounted wheel, upon which he makes the cir cuit of the stage several times. Then he alights as deftly as the greatest of trick riders, and bowing to the audi ence, says: "Mesdames et Messieurs, sil vous plait.” It is done. The Juggler has kept his word to the letter. And now for the explanation. The Nawab smiles In his most charming Indian fashion as he tells those who are about him that what he has done Is the simplest thing in the world if only it is understood. “Any one of you could do it, I am sure,” he says. Could they? Let us see. This Is the explanation, condensed from the elab orate fabric of language which the In dian iuecler rears for the enlighten ment of those who have watched hltn. In a word, the secret is that the bi cycle, all In pieces, is hung about his body beneath the cloak. It seems as if it would be a difficult task to do that, so that there would be no knobby pro jections, but the Indian is a clever man. To begin with, the rubber tires are allowed to empty themselves of air and are then coiled about the man's waist. Bach of the spokes folds in three places, and thus condensed about ihe hub of the wheel, the whole hangs down toward the man's heels like the big pendulum of a clock. The handle bars are fastened about the waist. The frame of the machine Is In five pieces, but fits together with ■nap and locks that make It as firm us If It were all cast In one piece The chain 1* wound around his legs. The ■addle is carried over his breast. With all this, weighing perhaps al together eighteen pounds upon him, the Juggler has appeared before those who have come to *ee the wonder he has promised. The folds of his cloak mi thoroughly conceal the dismantled hike that there Is not the slightest evidence of Its presence. The usual explanation is made and then comes the enveloping with the sheet. In stantly the sheet covers him the jug gler loosens from about him the sec tions of the bicycle that make a rum plete whole first of all he arrange* the frame Then the two wheels are quickly turned lata proper shepr. But lowing this he blows air letu tbs rub ber tires sad adjusts them then some* the gearing Ihe adjustusat of saddle sad handle bars, and iu, tbs wheel Is complete sad ready for use.

Brand, a young prospector In Mashonaland. was one of the earliest reported to have been murdered by the rebels, Rays the Ixmdon Chronicle. A little later, however, he cabled his safe arrival at. Fort Salisbury. His parents, living at lnstow, Bldeford, North Dev on, have Just received from him the fol lowing graphic description of his escape to the fort: "Groves and myself start ed from Ix> Magundi on June 10, two days before the war broke out, with seven 'boys,' two Mashonas and five Zamhezin. I met two policemen on the road, forty-five miles from town; next morning both were murdered. I reached the store on the lf>th and met Groves there. Wo left the store next morning and started for Angwe, thir ty miles ofT. As we passed along we thought there was something Suspic ious, ns the niggers all had guns and were biding In the long gross. 1 went tip to a kraal to ask for iny things, Which I had left there five months ago; but they refused to give them up, so 1 cleared. We finished our work at Angwe and came back. When we got to the store we saw four men who had been brutally murdered, evidently by battle axes. They were all lying on their stomachs and bad been dragged out of the store Into the veldt. They were blown out to a tremendous size, and when we turned them over their faces were eaten away. We walked to Jameson's camp to see If we could find any more bodies. It was 5 o'clock when we arrived and we had been walking all day. Then we walked on to Ayres farm, twenty-five miles, where we thought wo should be safe, but 1 had to shoot both my Mashonas for safely, and lucky for me that I did. Wo arrived at Ayres at. 7 a. m., when we were going lo have a good break fast, us we had nothing to eat for two days. I rushed up to the huts like u,“«* ju»i ii nit* Him. iii»' brute* jumped up ull around u«, will; battle axes and knobkerrleg, and yelled. They flrerl about twenty shots at us be fore we cleared. All the 'boys' were shot, and then they ehnsed us. One gave me a blow on the head v/lth a bat tle axe, but only cut through toy coat. We shot six and ran across a place 111c < the Hut-rows (Westward HoGoll Links), bullets tearing up t he ground all around us, but fortunately never hitting us. One bullet went through tny hat, which was not pleasant. At last tv< got away. There must have been 300 or 400 of the brutes. We pot Into u wood and dodged them and then my legs gave way and 1 could go no fur ther. We arrived at Fort Salisbury like two broken-down tramps, where they had been In laager fourteen days, They cheered us as we came In. There have been some awful murders. Women horribly mutilated. * • • I have been out on several patrols, and we saved ten men's lives at Hartley.

A letter undelivered after a lapse of over eighty years was the odd find of Miss Catherine Mahon at LennI, Dela ware county, says the Philadelphia necoru. wnne loosing over Horne old papers recently Mins Mahon came serosa a package of letters that had !>e longed to her grandmother. Among the collection was an old envelope, yel low with age, which bore the subscrlp tlon: "For my Hon Hiram, should he ever return.” This was signed: "Thaddeus Mahon.” and ns the flap of the envelope bore a large red seal. It could not be opened without destroy ing the wrupper. Miss Mahon showed the letter to her father, who remem bered having heard his father speak of a brother who had left home suddenly during the war of 1812. He never re turned and before dying old Thaddeus Mahon had written the letter which MIkh Mahon hud found. They decided to open It and doing ho discovered i note which read as follows: July 11. 1812. “My Son Hiram: Since you have lef 1 see my miHtake. 1 pray that you ina; come back In time to forgive me Thauk (iod your mother Ih uot now 11 v ing to know that I rust her son off Willingly would 1 give my consent ti your marriage with Nell, for 1 now se* that she Is u good woman.

In tome respects Kidney disease Is the most dangerous of all maladies, because It usually has made much progress before the victim Is aware of Its existence. It Is, there fore, with great pleasure we commend to our readers the recent discovery In East Indin cf the Knva-Kava shrub, which has proved a most powerful remedy for diseases of the kidneys, rheumatism, or other ailments caused by uric ncld In the blood, The cures wrought by this new remedy arc Indeed most remarkable. Many who have suff ered from the most severe forms of the disease, have been completely cured In from twenty to forty days by the Kava-Knva shrub. Ill the New York Weekly World of Sept. 10th. the testi mony of Rev. W. B. Moore, n. D., of Washington, D. O., was given, describ ing his years of suffering from Kidney disease and Rheumatism, nnd his rnpld euro by Alkavls. Rev. John II. Wat son of Sunset, Texas, a minister of the gospel of thirty years' service, was struck down at his post of duty by Kidney disease. After hovering be tween life and death for two months, and all bis doctors having failed, he took Alkavls, and wus completely re stored to health and strength anil Is fulfilling his duties as minister of the gospel. Mr. R. C. Wood, n prominent attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cur ed of Rheumatism, Kidney and Blad der disease of ten years' standing by Alkavls. Mr. Wood describes himself as being in constant misery, often com • * I_ _« U ~ night on account of weakness of the bladder. He was treated by all his home physicians without the least benefit and finally completely cured In a few weeks by Alknvls. The testi mony is undoubted and really wonder ful. Any of our readers who are so un fortunate ns to suffer from Kidney dis orders or Hli< umutlsm should write to the Church Kidney Cure Co., of 422 Fourth avenue, New York, who will gladly send them free by mail prepaid a Large Case of the Kuva-Kava Com pound, so that they run test Its value for themselves.
