THE ELEPHANT  IN^A BOG.
The sagacity of elephants when bogged in swamps is truly admirable. The
cylindrical form of the elephant's leg—
which is nearly of equal thickness—
causes the animal to sink very deep in
heavy ground, especially in the muddy
banks of small rivers. When thus sit-
. uated the animal will endeavor to lie
on one side, so as to avoid sinking
deeper; and, for this purpose, will avail
himself of every means to obtain relief.
In order that he may extricate himself, he is liberally supplied with straw,
boughs, grass, etc.; these materials he
forces down with his trunk, till they
are lodged under his forefeet in sufficient quantity to resist his pressure.
Having thus formed a good basis for
exertion, the sagacious animal next
proceeds to thrust other bundles under
his belly, and as far back under his
flanks as he can reach; when such a
basis is formed, as may be, in his mind,
proper to proceed upon, he throws his
whole weight forward, and gets his
hind feet gradually upon the straw,
etc. Being once confirmed on a solid
footing, he will next place the succeeding bundles before him, pressing them
well with his trunk, so as to form a
causeway by which to reach firm
ground.
The instinct of the animal, and probably the experience of past danger, actuates him not to bear any weight definitely, until, by trial both with his
trunk and with the next foot that is to
be planted, he has completely satisfied
hiniseif pf tire firmness of the ground
he ig to tread upon. The caution with
Which this, and every part of his con?
duet on thege occasions is marked,
shows how forcibly nature has impressed him with a sense pf his own
weight.
.   BQQtl Reason   tp Harry,
The trials of a musical accompanist
are many, if we may credit all the
stories told of them. A young professional recently played accompaniments
for the performers at a private entertainment for a fashionable charity,
lasting for nearly two hours. "Here,
you see, I have no chance to take a
breath for ten bars," said the amateur
flute-player, indicating to the accompanist a passage in his opening solo.
"There are a .number of such places in
my solo, and if you'll hurry the time
whenever you come to them, it will be
a relief to my wife, for all my family
are subject to apoplexy, and I've already had one slight attack."
A Fleshy
Consumptive
Did you ever see one ?
Did you ever hear of one ?
Most certainly not. Consumption is a disease that
invariably causes loss of
flesh.
If you are light in weight,
even if your cough is only
a slight one, you should
certainly take
Self's Emuslion
of cod liver oil with hypo-
phosphites. No remedy
is such a perfect preventive to consumption. Just
the moment your throat
begins to weaken and you
find you are losing flesh,
you should begin to take it.
And no other remedy
has cured so many cases
of consumption. Unless
you are far advanced with
this disease, Scott's Emulsion will hold every inducement to you for a
BerieQt gyre;

"What tbe Word "Grog" Came From.
The word "grog" has a curios history. It comes in a roundabout way
from the French "gros-grain," of
which our English "grogram" is a corruption, meaning a stuff of coarse
and heavy texture. Bluff old Admiral
Vernon, who commanded the English
navy just before our war of independence, wore breeches made of this material, and was nicknamed from that
circumstance "Old Grog." He used to
have his men mix water with the rum
that was always served to English sailors as part of .heir rations, and hence
any dram mixed with water came to
be called "grog," and the place where
such things are sold a "groggery."
IiOcomotlve Puffs.
The cough, or puff, of a railway engine is due to the abrupt emission of
waste steam up the chimney. When
moving slowly the coughs can, ol
course, be heard following each other
quite distinctly, hut when speed is put
on the puffs come out one after the
other much more rapidly, and when
eighteen coughs a second are produced
they cannot he separately distinguished by the ear. A locomotive running
at the rate of nearly seventy miles an
hour gives out twenty puffs of steam
every second—that is, ten for each of
Its two cylinders.

Cure and Nerve  Restorer.
" I have had Dyspepsia fur the past
thirty years. My troubles were Indigestion. Sour Stomach, Acid Fermentation
Nausea and Bloating after- meals, Heart
burn which at times rendered sleep
impossible. I tried nearly every supposed remedy, and several doctors, but
could not get relief, until I was induced
to try Drake's Dyspepsia Cure and
Nerve Restorer, and was completely
cured by the use ol two boxes. I have
not had -"iny trouble with my stomach

It makes considerable difference in
the matrimonial advantages of a person where he may have been born or is
a citizen. This remark applies with
peculiar force to the minimum age
which renders a union legal. It in a
measure implies the' consent d£ parents
or guardians hi all tlie instances cited,
although onr9g:uditeiV tbe law sustains
the marria&e* maugre dissent of the
parents, etc. In Austria 14 years is_
looked upon as sufficient to entitle a
person of either sex to take on the
burdens of matrimony. Germany requires the male to be IS and the female 16. In France and Belgium the
man must be 16 and the woman 15. In
Spain the intended husband must have
passed the 14th year and the woman
her 12th. Tlje law in Hungary for Roman ea*tbQlie<3 is that the man must be
14 years old and the woman 12; for
Protestants the man must be 18 and
the woman 15. In Greece the man
must have. seen at least 14 summers
and the woman 12. In Russia and Saxony they are more sensible, and a
youth must refrain from matrimony till
he can count 18 years and a women until she can count 16. In Switzerland
men from the age of 14 and women
from, the age of 12 are allowed to marry. The Turkish law provides that
any youth and maid who can walk
properly and can understand the necessary religious service are allowed to be
united for life.—Anaconda Standard.
