This leads to confusion, both 'pe readers and exchange editers. Once in hile a story y is so good theellsually- r.•dn- •$ccientious exchange editor "appropriates ;lt just this once." Frequently a story is reprinted without „credit by other papers and is finally credit - end one of the publications that has 1?;''borrowecl" it. When this happens, ,a well ;alneening exchange editor may be led into error in giving credit. Readers are con- dYeed when they find the same article ;printed in two papers in one city the same ::day, one of the papers presenting it as • lginal and the other crediting it to an "change. Publication of an article does not always ;fid interest in it in the office in which it ',originates.

Some of .hese letters came from cities and towns ' 1,500 miles distant.

Six elephants, familiar to Londoners (luringthe Indian exhibitions of 1895 and 196, were recently sold by auction says 'the London Graphic. The ele- phants were Juno, Modoc, Archie, Ed- gar, Gypsy and Huth, all especially im- ported for the exhibition and the stage spectacle of "India." Modoc, and,juno hail from Barnum & Bailey's, and cams from America in 1895; the other four carne from Burmah, where, before making their obeisance to English audiences, they were used for draw- ing purposes and general labor. The auctioneer, having mounted a pile of timber at the back of the grounds addressed the crowd and call- ed their attention to the clause in the conditions by which the purchaser was required to clear his purchase on the same day at 4 o'clock. An extension of t ime, however, had been arranged for. An elephant not being a chattel very easily moved, this announcement was received with evident relief. The Hist elephant sold was Juno, height8 feet 3 inches, weight two tons, 17 htndred weight. She start at 70guineas,itnd was knocked down at 95 guineas. Then Caine Modoc, not so high but heavier; he would turn a scale at 3 tone 3 hun- dred weight. Modoc was uneasy, and wagged his colossal head and flail -like tail while the bidding went on. He fetched 1(1) guineas. The younger ele- phants, two of which had nice tusks with neat ball shaped tips, came forth from the shed, ridden tnahout-fashion by their attendant. Archie was sold fur• 145 guineas, Edger for 150, Gypsy for 1-15, and Ruth for 14(1. After the elephants were knocked c.own, an un- e1-1111gnacl lot appeared in the shape of an Indian bull and ccnv, two of the pretty little creatures so popular with the children during the exhibition. They formed an unitising contrast to the gigen Ilc beasts that had preceded theta. The hammer fell for there at 11) guineas. KIDNEY bENSE. C i - lis are out of the Question in Kidney Disor lers--.

Canadian Woman Consume Millions of Packets. Millions of packages of Diamond Dyes are used by the woman of Canada every year. The sale of these house bold friends is increas'ng so fast that at times the mennfaeturere have difficulty in filling the the orders that, pour in from the wholesale and retail trade. The enormous and fast increasing con- sumption of Diamond dyes indicates im- mense popularity, due of course to quality, strength, brilliancy and fastness of colors. Dimond Dyes give colors that last till the materials wear ont. Every color is true to name, the results are always pleas- ing and satisfactory, and they are sold at the same price as the common imitation dyes.

Harry Fenn, the artist, has written for St. Nicholas an account of hie visit to the famous oedars of Lebanon, which place l's also noted for its silk. Mr. Fenn says: Wherever a handful of earth can be made to rest upon a ledge, there a mulberry plant grows.
