And prays that He will spare her boy, and take
herself instead.
She gets her answer from the chid-soft fall these

An TIeDhant Hunt and Feast

DR.. Livingstone gives this account Of an
elephant hunt and feast in the interior Of
Africa:
THE elephant never returns to the river
by the same path. on two successive nights.
Some veteran leader will walk in advance Of
the herd and uncover the pits, which have
been dug to entrap him. with his trunk.
that the Others may see the opening and
tread on frm ground. Female elephants
are generally The first to fail into the traps.
In their mot hcrly anxiety for their calves,
they carry their trunks W. trying every
breeze for fancied danger, which, in reality,
lies at their feet The vary paterfanilias,
less tinlii, keeps his trunk down, and
warned in time by that sensitive organ,
and takes heed Of his ways. The cutting
up Of an elephant is quite an unique spec
tacle. The men stand ro4nd the animal in
dead silence, while according to ancient Gus
tom, the head and right hind leg are given
to him who killed the animal, that Is, who
inflicted the first wound the left leg to him
who delivered Nlc second. or first touched
the elephantafter he tcll. The meat around
the eye is given to the English travellers,
and different parts 10 the head men Of the
different fire.. or groups, which compose
the camp. The delivery Is accompanied
