Slaughtering Elephants

Here is a true elephant story for
you from an American missionary,
who once lived among the Dutch
Beers of Natal for seven years. He
saw the ivory, and believes the
story: One afternoon, about four
o'clock, three Dutchmen were out
hunting, and came upon large herd
of elephants. They fired at the
leader, and instantly the entire herd
fed. The leader rushed on and on,
thinking he was on the right track
to escape; but the elephants were in
valley, and only ran round it, in a
circle perhaps three hundred yards
in diameter, and were shot down
from four O'Clock in the afternoon
until eight in the evening, when
darkness prevented the Dutchmen
from taking aim any longer. BIT
the three men rose Mt break of day,
and found the poor elephants still
going round and round. 1t was
several hours before new leader,
breaking out Of the beaten track,
led off the remainder of the herd in
safety. The Dutehmen, whose
names were Botha and Potgeiter,
being two brothers, counted the
slain. Ninety elephants lay dead in
the valley, and as their valuable
tusks of ivory were divided equally
among the three Dutchmen, you car
believe that each mans share was
considerable.

Eccentricities Of Juries.

A miller in southern France fell
in love with the cousin of his mis-.
tress. Both woman were possessed
of the secret that a year or two be-
fore he had strangled man and
thrown him into the river. Each
one threatened to divulge it unless
he chung to her and put the other
woman out of the way, so that very
naturally he had a hard time of it.
At last he Determined to neutralize
this disagreeable situation by setting
one to murder the other. The mis-
tress strangled her cousin, but over
come by romorse accused the miller
of killing the man who was supposed
to haHe committed suicide, and of
being accessory with her to her
cousins murder. The jury acquitted
him of the first charge but found
him guilty of the second, which
under the circumstances, was a curl
Gus verdict, because the motive of
his share in the murder Of the woman
was his fear Of being discovered as
the murderer of the man. If he
was not the murderer of the man, as
he asserted, then there was no rea-
son to believe his denial of any par
ticipation in the second murder.
But juries, even in France, evident
ly have their eecentricities.

Customs and Principles Of the Dunk
ers, or German Baptists.

The following description of this
peculiar religious sect is taken from
an article in the Century for Decem.
Der, corrected in accordance with the
criticism of the Primitive Christian, a
paper of that denomination, PUBLISH
Ell at Huntingdon, Pa:
"The Dunkers profess all the funda-
mental principles of Christian faith.
They baptize the neophytes- their
founders at SchwatZenau did--by im-
merSlng them three times in the name
OF the Father, the Son and the Spirit.
Their communion is preceded nv
the rite of fOOl-washing. A curious
discussion has of late engaged theirat.
tentiOn-up0n the question whether
the single or the double mode has the
better claim for observance. When
the same brother both washes and
dries the feet, it is the the single
mode; when each service is perform
ell by a separate person they call it
loot washing by the double mode.
1t is not to be under stood, however,
that the whole congregation is thus
served Ivy one or two of their num-
Der. There are enough of them going
around with the tub and towel to
finish the ceremony within a reason
able time. Fo0t-washing and COM
munion are always administered in
the evening; and just before the
communion love-ieast IL held in
commemoration of The supper which
Jesus took with his disciples. There
is no binding rule as to the choice of
food, though among the viands lamb
has the preference. Even such lux
urieS as coffee and butter, unknown
to Scriptural Palestine, are not OBJ
jected to. After the love feast comes
the "holy kiss" The minister gives
it To the brother that sits next to him
on the right; he applies it, in turn,
to his neighbor, and thus it is passed
along the line, and by the last is
carried to the next table. The same
order is observed with the women,
with the exception that the first kiss
is applied by the minister to the first
sisters hand.
The Dunkers live in peace with one
another and seek no redress for Injury
done to them by recourse to law.
Disagreements among themselves are
settled by the elders, whose decision
