hunters arc agile and the elephants ears are big, and the hunter hangs on to them. The baby elephants are left tied to trees for few days until they are sufficiently subiuei to be led into camp. The carcasses are not used. Only in rare cases is the meat eaten. Sometimes it is cut off, dried and eaten. The hide is used for shields" !"
 Towards June Lohse begins to get ready for the home trip. He divides the procession into dozen or so com panies. There is cook for each com- pany, and they cook, or rather make, 'durah," a sort of journey cake" of corn. Each big giraffe has one rider and two or three men to lead it. The elephants require the same number of attendants. The ostriches have their legs shackled so that they can take only extremely short steps. They go along with their old friends, the goats. The other animals are boxed up, and the patient camels tug them along on rude carts. There are from 300 to 400 men and from ninety to 100 camels in procession, and they have plenty of work to do.
 While the elephant hunters have been at work the giraffe hunters have not been idle. "It takes only forty six horses for & giraffe hunt," said Lohse, with a smile, "and a dozen footmen besides. The giraffes go in troops, as many as one hundred in number. We start out in the hottest part of the day, and find our long, necked friends in thickets. We drive them out into the opening and chase them round and round until the young ones, the giraffes that we want, fall down from sheer exhaustion. We drop a giraffe in about an hour. When they fall we secure them by halters and hold them until they re- cover their strength. Then we try to feed them with goats milk. If a giraffe will take the milk we drive him back to camp, for we are sure then of bringing it up. We capture them when they are three or four months old, and they thrive on goats milk and grow rapidly"

When They Leave Us,

The exodus of our bodily troubles is doubly welcome if their departure is unaccompanied by pain. It is the fault of the best of commendable ca- thartics, which act solely upon the bowels, that in operating they gripe and weaken these organs. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters produce a laxative effect, but neither causes pain nor weaken the abdominal region or the stomach. This is pre-emlnently the alternative which constipated, bilious or dyspeptic person should use, since a resort to it involves no bodily discom- fort nor produces a violent reaction. The liver is aroused, the stomach bene- fitted, and the habit of body speedily and permanently improved by it.. Fever and ague, rheumatism and kid ney troubles are among the maladies for which recorded experience has proved it to be efficacious. It is a wholesome appetizer, and far more reliable tranquillizer of the nerves than stomach disturbing narcotics and sedatives.

He wanted @ position in a bank. The president was satisfied with his credentials, but before engaging him put him through little civil service cross-examination.
 Suppose, now, man was to come in here and deposit $20 in S1 bills, how would you count them?"
 "I'd wet my fingers and lift up each bill until I got to the last one."
 "Why would you not lift up the last one?"
 "Because there might possibly be one more bill under it, and If the de- positor was to see it he would want it back, but ii the twentieth bill is not lifted up, and there should be another bill in the pile, the bank makes 1t, don't you seer"

 There is certain tempting trait in the heathen, which, 1t practiced more extensively by their other neighhors, the world at large would feel potter contentei, and possibly produce lessor crime. A poor young Jew and his wife lived at 47 Mott street, who were, as usual. in the clothing business, or rather in the tailoring business. On last Monday the husband was driven to desperation financially. He ap- preached his wife and asked her to allow him to take her only jewelry--a gold watch chsin--to the pawn-shop to realize the amount necessary, Sao, to pay for some goods which were ab- solutely necessary for the weeks trade. When this was taken to the nearest pawn-shop the only result was an offer of si5 on tho chain, which was far short of the amount required.
 In despair both husband and wife went to their neighbors and tried to borrow the required s5o, offering the aforesaid chain as collateral. The Jews of tho neighborhood and the Christians were each approached, but alas, no one was able or willing to ad- vance the amount. Finally and In despair, and 1t was near nine o'clock in the evening, the pair sadly made their way to an old Chinese merchant at 10 Chatham Square, to whom the Jew and his wife presented their special case of distress, and presenting the chain, as they did before to others, as 6 security.
 Mir. Yuet Sing, tho old Chinaman, lowered his head, and over his glasses he looked at the pair steadily, and then asked them few questions as to what they wanted the money for.
 "Without this money we cannot have tho goods, which means that we will be without food or home."
 Yuet Sing, without saying word, opened his money drawer and counted out handful ot crisp, new bills-S50. With the same non-concerned air he handed to the anxious man the little "boodle." At the same time the latter handed Yuet Sing the gold chain, which was wrapped up in brown paper.
 "What's that2" queried the aston ished Chinaman.
 "That's the chain to secure tho $50 you just loaned me. That's my wiie's wedding present"
 "Well, then, let her take 1t home. You takee money, go home, too. When you catchee him no forgettee bling him back. That's all"
 The astonishcd and happy Jews thanked Mir. Yuet Sing almost with tears in their eyes. This was done be- fore the reporters own eyes, and when the Jew and his wife left the Sun man asked Mir. Yuet Sing why he didn't want any security for his $50 from an apparent stranger.
 "I know where that man and his wife live," he said, ''and this Is one of the ways have of teaching these people how to deal with each other. lts only $50, and if such A small sum will make man and his wife lose their honor among their neighbors, why, then, they are welcome to it."

Love and Hate.
Llprinco.,'s Magazine.

Look you, the man whom you hate --aro there not women who worship him, children who look up to hImI Who secs tho true man, you who hate him, or those who love himg Love Ia a divine delight, 1t reaches out over and around its object into the illimit. able, 1t k a part of the Over Soul, oi the Infinite, of God. Hatred is pain. ful, it strains and racks tho body, 1t blinds the vision, 1t makes man con sclous of his mutual limitations. Love sees the virtues that arc on the soul. hatred only the diseases of the skin "All men have their faults, and steal ing was Bill's," said weeping widow over the corpse of dcspcrado, shot in attempted burglary. And gro tcsque, ludlcrons as the expression may seem, she was right. She knew that not In the robber, the law breaker, the outcast, did the real man shine forth, but in those rarcr moods of kindliness and generosity when he was the true friend and husband, Perhaps when two enemies, who have refused to sec any good In each other on this earth, meet hereafter in an- other world free from the muddy yes ture of decay which clogs their vision here, the first thought of each will be: els this the beautiful soul that 1 ma ligned and hated?"

 A volume of annals of old Philadel- phiA contains an aneodote of Frank lin which will, .wc think, Do new to our readers. -. =
 X few days after he began to pub- llsh newspaper, he commented sharply on the diahonest conduct of certain influential and wealthy town officials. Three or four of his friends, young mechanics like himself, anxious to rise In the world, sharply reprovel him for his imprudence, and told him that a poor man could not afford thus to make enemies,
 Franklin listened !a silence and pa- tience, and when tho lecture was over, asked his critics to sup with him. They came. and sat down, expecting luxurious meal, such as WAS common in those days among the weli-to-do. Before each guest, however, was a bowl of muah ani milk. and pitcher of water. They tried In vain to swat- low the coarse fare, watching Frank lin as he emptic,i his bowl with evi- dent relish. When he had ended, he said:
 That is my usual supper. have an advantage over you, as you sec, for when q man can live on sawdust pud- ding and water, he needs no patron- age"
 "The only freeman" says Beuchet, ais he whose simple habits lift him above tho desire for wealth"
 How many young men among our readers beginning lie would bc will ling to wear the coarse clothes which formed Franktin's dress, or to live on mush and milk, in or,irr tsis; thsy might express their opinions and live out their own lives without tho fear or favor of wealthier mene

"Jus, Hear rha, Child scream."

Said Mrs. Smith to her sister, Mrs. Davis, as the sound of child's shrieks came across the garden from 8 neigh bor's house. "What kind of a woman have you for a neighbor? Does sLe abuse her children5" "No, indeed" 1" replied Mrs. Davis. "She is one of the most tender mothers in existence. But you see, she believes in the old fashioned styles of doctoripg. When a child needs physic, she fills a spoon with some nauseous dose, lays the little victim flat on her lap, holds his nose till he is forced to open his mouth for breath, when down goes the dread ful mess. Then come the yells." "No wonder" said Mrs Smith. "Why doesn't she use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgstive Pellets? They are effect i've without being harsh, and are as easy to take as sugar plums. l always give them to my children" "ADd so do l." said Mrs. Davis.

A Question of Double Personality.
Popular Science Monthly.

The fact of sleep may of itself have already suggested the idea of two dis tinct persons, for we certainly are not the same sleeping and waking. Yet, in sleep, we have iecollections from the waking state, and we can renem- Der from sleep when awake. There is, therefore, an essential connection be- tween the two states. There arc in natural somnambulism at the same time more and less analogy with the wakeful condition. In one respect 1t more resembles wakefuiness for while, in natural sleep, the dream Is abso- lutely incoherent, the somnambulist plays out his dreams; that is, he exe- cutes system of co-ordinated move- ments having beginning, middle and an end, or certain conference. On the other hand, somnambulism Is fur ther separated fro,a wakefulnes In the fact that the man awake wholly loses the recollection of what the sleeping man has done, while the somnambulist can remember what he has done in . previous sleep. There are, in some fashion, two lives, and the hypothesis dreamed of by Pascal is very near to being realized: "If we dreamed every night the same things, 1t would affect us as much as objects that we see every day and If an artisan were sure to dream during the twelve hours of every night that he was . king, ] be- Iieve that he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream for twelve hours that he was an artisan" Pascal speaks here only of dreaming, but 1t must not be forgotten that som- nambulism Is composed both of dream and reality. The somnambulist per- forms actions that take place in tine real world; he walks, he writes, he does nearly everything that he does while awake, and is even able to speak and reply. Hence we have only to represent to ourselves communication gaining more and more upon the walk ing condition, encroachfng upon 1t, and at last becoming . second waking alternating with the other and retain ing only one feature of somnambulism, the loss of recollection on waking.
