The crafts and wiles of the servants are
endless and sometimes exceedingly origi-
nal. One of their most common tricks
for obtaining leave of absence is to put on
a long face and represent the death of q
wife, brother or a child. One of my
servants in this way lost his favocite wife,
his father. and his darling lite boy,
chubby, rosy checked child. who had ap-
peared once or twice al the legation On
the latter occasion. with eyes suffused
with tears, the mourning father requested
leave TO tarry at the bedside OF his sick
boy: then came news of the death and
permission could not be justly withheld
for the funeral ceremonies lasting two
days. Ny sympathy IN these distressing
circumstances was eboai to take tn form
of pishkesh, when | was informed by
another servant who had a grudge
against this one that neither wife
nor child were dead. but very much
alive and n a very ny condition; and
furthermore that the father had, during
his absence, been earning II fine present,
while drawing wages from me, as assist
ant at great entertainment given by a
high dignitary Having fully ascertainei
the truth of this statement, | felt my sym
pathy could best find expression by Civ
ing the fellow a summary dismissal. But
this form of deception was so common
as at last to become somewhat ''stslc,

There lately entered the Grand Central

tragic history II was the locomotive
which drew train to the first frightful
railroad accident that ever occurred Up
to 1913, while there hat been some catas-
tropics on the railroads, there had been
none accompanied by great slaughter, but
that year this engine drew part Of a
train on the New Haven road into an open
draw at Norwalk and caused great loss
of life. The accident was the sensation
of the year. The engine was fished out
and repaired, and has been running on
the road ever since.
A singular circumstance connected with
this accident is that it indirectly proved
the fortune of the man whose incorrect
signals caused IL. He fled and settled in
western nsylyana, and was the vic
tim for many years of remorseful reflec-
tons on his carelessnes4 But it was this

Scarcity Of Wild Animals.

"Another thing which has affected the
business u good deal is the growing
scarcity of certain kinds of wild animals,
and the closing of some OF the dcpots for
their collection ami expectation. Nubia
and upper Egypt, for example, for IA long
time were the great headquarters for the
supply of CRATES, elephants, hippopotami
and the double horned rhinoceri, wi h
many other wild animals. but since the
troubles there subsequent to the death of
Gen, Gordon at khartoum, absolutely
nothing has been received from this
region. which is now barred, for an ndefi
mite period, by the impending Italo Ably -
sinian war. And then again the depots
in South Africa are beginning to close be-
ciuse the hunters have to 20 such i'm

LARS of the wild animals, hundreds of
miles from their former haunts. The

kinds by the 50 called sportsmen, who pour

For twenty-tw years, and even longer,
Mr.. Bergh has devoted his energy and
wealth to the ainelioration of the coudi-
ton of the dumb creation Since that
time he has seen the modest society which
he founded. and of which he is still the
president, become one of the strongest
benevolent organizations, not only in this
city, but in America, for there is now
hardly state in the Union which does not
contain a kindred organization. In thirty
seven states and territories laws forbid
ding the i'll treatment of animals have
been passed, and in thirtyfour of them
societies to carry ont their provisions have
been organized. Canada Mexico, Cuba
and several South American countries
have aided the good work by organizing
societies, and the passage Of laws is GER
tain to follow. Very few men have ever
lived to see the work which they started
grow to such colossal proportions. and
there is no other refOrmer now living who
has witnessed the spread of / s ideas over
SO vast erritory.-Benjam Northrop.
