Elk Hunting in Ceylon.

writer in the Madras Times argues that
elk hunting is the best sport in Ceylon.
The hills upon which this quarry is pur-
sued stand 5000 feet 10 1000 feet above
the sea level, and the district is free from
those risks of fever and dysentery which
are to be feared on the low-l lying plains 1t
is conducted with the aid of rather hctero-
geneous pack that would sadly scandalize
any of the great foresters of the Scotch
highlands, but which, nevertheless con-
triyes to do its business in mastery style
The first of its component parts includes
four or five couple of imported foXhOunds.
These are the animals upon whom de
pendence is placed for the scent and for
" music" Then come three couple OF
hounds of mixed breed, faster III pace than
the true-bred foxhound, and capable,
when the scent is good, of bustling the
quarry along at a great speed. Lastly
there are three or four couple
of "seizers.' including thoroughbred
dcerhound or two from Scotland Il strong
greyhound with thick limbs, perhaps "a
kangaroo hound from Australia, and
crosses Of these breeds with mastiff' and
bloodhound. After an elk has been found
the run is very fast, and il is generally i'm
possible to keep near up with the hounds.
Occasionally one Of these is snapped up by
a leopard lurking on the hillside. When
at last the elk comes to bay, it is generally
in a strengthening water-course, and the
sellers then rush in, aided by the hunting
men, whose only weapon appears to be the
knife, with which the quarry Is stabbed as
he faces his four legged foes The elk
weighs sometimes as much as twentv-eight
stone clear, and is pleasant reward for a
fun which lasts usually two hours or more

for forty-five years. These were sent to
President Van Buren, in 1889 by the
Imaum of Muscat, a country of Asia, as a
testimonial in recognition of some service
to that country by his administration Just
what it was nobody appears to know. Van
Buren, could not accept them for himself,
although it was the desire of the donor
that he should do so. by reason of the
clause in the Constitution which forbids
any person connected with the Govern
ment accepting any present or decoration
from any foreign Power or Potentate. To
have returned them would have been an
insult to the Royal giver, and what to do
with them was question that puzzled the
Presidential mind. They were finally
turned over to the Treasury, and there
they remain unto this day The entire
collection has accumulated in Il similar
way. Other presents were sent to Govern
ment officers by Kings and Princes who
had not read the Constitution of the United
States, and nothing could be done with
them except to stow them away in the
vault. They do not have any definite own
ers and they bear about the same relation
to the Government that unclaimed pack
ages do to an expires. company. The Treas
ury people have long been in quandarv
as to what disposal to make of them. Two
or three times in years past the matter has
been brought to the attention of Congress,
but no action was ever taken 1t would be
rather shabby to sell them and appropriate
the proceeds, and it is likely that these
gems of purest ray serene" will continue
to lie III the dark vault The man in charge
of the bond-room told me, day or two
ago, that he was going to make another
effort to have Congress do something with
them, though he has little hope that he
will succeed. He says they are sort of
lying around loose" and are a nuisance

Parents, as rule, believe that their chill

that they are beyond the possibility of evil

pains IS taken to inculcate III the minds Of
children utter adherence of deceit and
dishonesty? TO give them practical object
lessons, as it We're, of the Importance of
truthfulnesS and rectitudc? We know that
in a general way children are taught that it
is wrong to lie and steal and 10 commit
the other otIenses laid down in the deca-
loguc. But is this rot done too much in a
periunCtory way? Is there any effort what
ever to earnestly and thoroughly impress
upon the minds of children the practical
meaning of these commands. and their
bearing on the duties Of life? Do not re

Do they not far too often ignore the cher

oftener still DO they not start those chill
dren in the active pursuit of life
without troubling themselves q particle
concerning their well-being provided

number of disagreeablc characters on an

Diamonds in the Treasury.

In the vault Of the Treasury is a quanti-
ty OF diamonds and other precious stones
which have queer history. Indeed, the
facts relating TO some of them are scarcely
known, and their history is largely mat
ter OF tradition. Their value is variouslv
estimated at from $4,000 to 100000.
There is a bottle four or five inches long
filed with giisteninG diamonds, and be-
sides these a large number of separate
stones of various kinds. Some of them are
set i'll beautiful gold ornaments. intended
for personal wear. Most of them have
been in the custody of the Treasury officials
