Half a dozen tame elephants entered the stockade, two natives riding upon each &nd a dozen natives following on foot, armed w tv * pears for self-defense.

A tarred rope with a running noose was at t* bed to the rope collar, the herd wa* sept moving about, and as opportunity • ■ttered the natives on foot, from be tween the legs of the tame elephants, ti.pped the nooses between the hind feet of the w.ld elephants woen raised.

CHARACTER IN ONE'S VOICE. It la as rcrrcptible as the Words You Ppeak. Unless the voice sounds cordially, words are powerless; unless the voice attests self-confidence, protestations do not convince; unless the voice speaks sincerity, the apology is use less. It is necessary that we should control the voice to a reflection of that phase of mind and mood which we de sire to present. When we would con vince people of our efficiency we must net permit a weak-kneed voice to stag ger under the words, when our hearts go out in warmth and affection it can not get far in a brass-lined, iron-bound voice. Conciiiaticn is vain when the voice rings defiance. Imagine yourself at a telephone when the instrument whirrs and wheezes. The most im passioned appeal to John to come home to dinner and meet Cousin Mary is likely to prove ineffectual. A message to "that brute of a dressmaker-man who wants his money, may be intrust ed to the receiver with all dignity of tone and choice of words, but the wab bled reproduction at the other end does not go. You may use all your most dulce t tones and most expressive words when you are talking through the pos sessed wire to the business manager. but if the i zsr-izrrd wire iz iz r. fit the busings manager docs act g.i ;he right idea at all. The truth is that ssoi-t of us are always talking through a telephone. The hrnrst will, the cour teous intent, the high heart of cour age. spiaks clear and sweet and strong but the muffled, wheezy, creaky, thin, unnatural, co’orless result at our lips misrepresents us. and John doesn't, the dressmaker-man insists, and the busi ness manager gives the other fellow the job. What can we do about it? The difficulty is almost always first a voice habit—a color the voice has tak en cn from seme prevailing tint in oar life. This is so with almost every one. This stain of the natural voice color is net voice individuality; it is a mod ifying of voice individuality, an ob scuring of it. It is a habit—not a char acteristic. It must be gotten rid of. On:y just what you want must go into your voice. Think of that a little. When you call to a child who stands on the edge of a fall, shall your panic go into your voice, or just the reas suring note of gentle authority that you know will bring the child to you. instead of starting him over the dread ful edge" When you interview the in subordinate cook, shall your sense that she very well deceived to be thrown out of your back door and her trunk on top of tur prevail in your voice, or your earnest desire to keep her in hand rill after the impending dinner? Wncn you face just the personality in your world who holds at the minute your fortunes in his gift, shall your sick sense that he does not know and may not believe in your fitness for what vou are going to ask color your voice, or shall your firm belief that you can fill th* place characterize it? That is the whole question. Shull your voice vi brate to such quality of your mood as you choose, or shall it be at the mercy of just what will do you injustice in the mind cf those who hear.—Werner’s Magazine. Irish Lltr Stork Tr.ide. Mr. Field. M. P., chairman ©f the Irish Cattle Traders’ association.speak ing at the general meeting held dur ing the Dublin winter show, gave some figures which show the importance and magnitude of the Irish live stock trade. During the year 189S there was ex ported from Ireland for Great Britain 278.770 fat cattle. 460.903 store cattle, 4.101 cows. etc., and 5D.958 calves, mak ing a total of 803.362 cattle. Sheep and lambs made a total of 833.458. and pigs 558.785. These figures made a grand total of 2,225.605 animals, leaving horses, etc., out altogether. The num ber of cattle arriving in Great Britain from all countries in 1898 was 569.UG6. so that Ireland's exports exceeded by 234.296 those of all the imports to Great Britain from the reet of the world. In sheep, also. Ireland was eas ily first in imports to Great Britain in the year mentioned, the figures be ing; Ireland. 833.458, as against “rest of world's'' 663.752. Argentina, how ever. promises to be a very dangerous rival, as great numbers are being ship ped from that and other parts of South America. - ■■ - ■ — „ V _ Ow. Italy's Iron Crown. The Iron Crown ef Italy was a erowE of gold, having inside of it a ring ol iron which was said to have been forged from the nails of Christ's <;roi*. It was cade by order of the Pr&etii Theudelinde for her husband Agilulf, king of the Lombards, in the year 591. It was afterward given by the queen to the church at Monza. The iron crown was used by Charlemagne at the ceremony of his coronation, and after him by all the emperors who were also kings of Lombardy. The or der of the Iron Crown, which is now regarded as a high honor in Austria, was founded by Napoleon. It fell into disuse after his fall, but was revived by Francis I. of Austria, in 1816. In 1859 the Iron Crown was taken by the Austrians to Vienna, but was present ed to tne king of Italy in 1866. and is now among the royal treasures in Na ples. All Earthquake-Troof railtee. An earthquake-resisting, steel framed palace for the crown prince ol Japan is now being designed, and the foundations are being laid, with the view of obtaining the structural steel in February. The palace itself will be built of granite and marble around the steel skeleton. It will be 270 by 400 feet and the height will be 60 feet, and w iil be built in the French Renais sance style. A Chicago engineer has been called upon to design an elaborate heating and ventilating plant. An American ice manufacturing and elec tric light system will also be added. It is thought that steel construction will revolutionize the building indus ry in Japan. The new palace will rest on four hundred deeply anchored steel columns embedded in concrete piers. The Carnegie company will furnish the steel. Breed Raking in France. In France the bread is baked in rolls about the vize of a man’s arm and four feet long. Important Inventions.

CUTICURA Remedies Bring Speedy Relief and a Permanent Cure at a Cost of Only $2. I was a sufferer for eight years from that most distressing of all diseases, Eczema. I tried some of the best physicians in the country, but they did me little good. The palms of my hands were covered and would become inflamed ; little w hite blisters at first would appear, then they would peel off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name for it. On the inside of the upper part of both my limbs great red blotches, not unlike hives, would appear, r nd as soon as I became warm the ' burning and itching would begin. Night after night I would lie awake all night and scratch and almost go wild. I heard of Cl’Tl cura Remedies, got them and gave them a thorough trial, and after a few applications I noticed the redness and inflammation disappear. Before I had used one box there was not a sign of Eczema left. I can truthfully assert that $2.00 worth of CUTICURA Remedies cured me. There has been no sign of its return anywhere upon my body since I wrote you I was cured, nearly four years ago. Hardly a month passes but what I receive a letter or some one calls and wishes to know how I got cured, if I had Eczema bad, and if the cure has been permanent, etc., etc. I always take pleasure in enlightening them the best I can.
