TRAPPING ELEPHANTS.
An African Sport Not Without an
Element OF Danger.

Enemy Was Converted Into

-Four days march inland from
Quiloa, which IS on the east coast of
Africa and two hundred and fifty
miles above madagascar. We came
into the elephant country and made a
permanent camp. My orders from
the Hamburg house were to secure at
least Eve elephants alive and deliver
them on board ship at Quiloa- Our
party consisted of threo white men
and forty-two natives and we had
seven horses ard six teams of bull
locks Among the natives were sever
al kellows who had hunted the big
game with white men. and who were
pretty thoroughly posted As to the
creatures habits. 1t would have been
almost as easy to shoot an elephant as
a buffalo. but to capture one alive and
get him down 70 the coast was differ
eRt matter.
We had our camp In thick grove
about two miles from a forest through
which we knew elephants ranged. and
orders were given against firing guns
or moving about more than was
necessary. An elephant win take the
alarm as quick as q deer. and when
once frightened he may not cool down
for hours. After a couple of days

days getting the lay Of the forest for
several miles, and We finally selected
a particular spot TO work on It was
in the narrowest portion OF the strip,
and here we dug two pits and con-
cealed them so nicely that the sharp

nothing. When all was ready we re-

One Can Now Send Manuscripts or Pictures
by Electricity. O.
The fac-simile telegraph, by which
manuscript, maps or pictures may be
transmitted, is species of the auto
matte methods already described, in
which the receiver is actuated syn
chronously with its transmitter. By
Lenoir's method picture or map is
outlined with insulating ink upon the
cylindrical surface of rotating drum,
which revolves under point having a
slow movement along the axis of the
cylinder, and thus the conducting
point goes over the cylindrical sur
face in a spiral path. The electric
circuit will be broken by every ink
mark on the cylinder which is In this
path and thereby corresponding marks
are made in spiral line by an ink
marker upon a drum at the receiving
end. To produce these outlines it is
only necessary that the two drums be
rotated In unison. This system IS Of
little utility. there being no apparent
demand for fac-simile trans mission,
particularly at so great an expense of
speed, for 1t will be seen that instead
of making n character of the alphabet
by few separate pulses, as is done by
Morse, the number must be greatly
increased. Many dots become neces-
sary to show the outlines OF the more
complex characters. The pantele-
graph is an interesting type of the
facsimile method. In this form the
movements of a pen in the writer's
hand produces corresponding move-.
ments of the pen at the distant station
and thereby a fac-simile record,

ABOUT FRIENDSHIP.
The Rarest Prize Man Can Win Ia the
Affection of Another Soul.

The Rarest Prize Man Can Win Is tn,
Affection of Another Soul.
A blessed thing it is for any man OF
woman to have a friend, one human
soul whom we can trust utterly; who
knows the best and worst of us, ani
who loves us in spite of all our faults
who will speak the honest truth to us
while the world flatters us to our face
and laughs at us behind our backs
who will give us counsel and reproot
in the day of prosperity and self-con.
ceit, but who, again, will comfort and
encourage us in the day of difficulty
and sorrow, when the world leaves lis
alone to fight our own battle as we
can. If we have had the good fortune
to win such friend, let us do any
thing rather than lose him. We must
give and forgive, live and let live. If
our friend have faults. we must bear
with them. We must hope all things,
belle . all things, endure all things,
rather than lose that most precious of
all earthly possessions, a trusty friend.
And friend, once won, need never be
lost, if we will only be trusty and true
ourselves.
Friends may part. not merely in
body, but in spirit, for awhile. In the
hustle Of business and the accidents of
life, they may lose sight of each other
for years; and more, they may begin
to differ in their success in life, in
their opinions, in their habits, and
there may be time for GOODNESS and
estrangement between them; but not
forever, if each will be trusty and
true. For then, according to the
beautiful figure of the poet they will
be like two ships which set sail at
evening from the same port, and ere
nightfall lose sight of each other, and
go each on its own course and at it's
own pace. for many days, through
many storms and seas. and vet meet
again, and find themselves lying side
by side in the same haven when their
long v age is past. -Chas Kingsley.

AN ORGAN PROTESTS,
Spokesman Harrison Taken to Task by
Republican Journal.

| SFohShan harrison Taken to Task by q
Republican journal.
| The muzzled Republican editors, as in
duty bound, either affect to regard the
President who has given them offices as
| good Civil-Service reformer, or, at the
very least maintain silence as to Mr..
| harrisons course, because, as the New
| York Press has declared, it would be
| highly improper for them to pass ad-
verse criticisms upon the Administra-
tlon. Occasionally, however, amid the
dead waste of servile praise or equally
humiliating silence on the part of the
muzzled, the man who chances through
pile of exchanges happens upon re-
freshing bit of truth and independence
from newspaper whose editor is proud
to be unmuzzled. 1t is to be hoped that
the President makes it rule to read the
st. Paul Pioneer-Press, and that he did
not miss the recent issue which dis
cussed with clearness and candor his re-
sponsibility for the riot of spoils in
the Post-Otfice Department. 'The rec
ord which Mr.. Clarkson is making

lican journal of Minnesota, sis a dis

neglected cold is SO often fatal
that prompt treatment is always ad.
visable. Although there are obstinate
people in the world who will have none
OF your remedies, and say they would
rather cough it out. we will take the
tractable patient, who is, perhaps,
without chill or fever, but simply
hoarse, and if neglected may have con-
gestion of the lungs. Begin by put
ting the feet in hot water in which a
tablespoonful of mustard has been
thrown; keep them il five minutes or
longer; in the meantime prepare some
volatile liniment by putting in a small
tin cup tablespoonful OF sweet oil
and placing on the stove until hot,
then stir in q half teaspoonful of
spirits of ammonia; it will foam and
be unpleasantly pungent, but while it
is in that state direct the patient to
hold his Or her nose, to avoid
strangulation, and rub the liniment
thoroughly on the chest. and just as
hot as can be borne; also have ready a
brown paper cut to fit around the
throat and cover the chest; grease this
with the remainder and apply it hot,
placing over it two thicknesses of hot
flannel. Internally give the homeo-
pathic preparation of phosphorus, or
two drops in one teaspoonful of soft
water, or on bit Of sugar, once in
from two to four hours until the
hoarseness is better. 1t will generally
be followed by loose cough. This is
admirable treatment for children. In
case of cold beginning with chills
and fever, aconite and bryonia may be
given alternately after the patient has
had the feet in hot water and gone to
bed; If there is pain in the lungs ap-
ply mustard plaster or dried horse
radish leaves which have been moist
ened in hot water. With children it
is frequently advisable to put onion
draughts to the feet. If this home
treatment does not promptly help the
patient, call the doctor, lest there be
something serious impending.-Good

TWO NOBLE EXAMPLES,
Hon Whose Lives illustrated the Prlnci
pie of Common Brotherhood.

l
Two illustrious examples of self-sac.
rifice, or rather, self-forgetfulness, in
devotion to benevolent work. have
given the world cause of late to reflect
upon the higher virtues of human char
acter. Father Damien dying among
the Sandwich Island lepers, and Mr..
Crossett dying among the Chinese
seem to us as nearly perfect types of
unselfishness as modern civilization has
produced.
MIR. Darwin has been reported as
saying that for one example of pure
unselfishness in human conduct he
would surrender his theory of
the descent of man. Would not
the careers of such men as
these respond to his requisition2 Pos
sibly, however, the disciple of the
eminent naturalist would plead that
these men were moved by a moral or
religious motive high and excellent, to
be sure, in its nature, yet related to a
potent expectation of future or
Heavenly reward; and, therefore. that
they could not be said to be altogether
free from kind of selfishness. If
such conduct must be rated in the
category of self-seeking. then let us
have more of it for the sake of the
Ignorant and suffering millions in the
world. Surely his must be soul
despicably mean who would disparage
the man who gives himself up to
philanthropic work, at nobody's cost
but his own.
A few years ago plain man of quiet
demeanor conferred with us on the
subject OF Chinese and Hindo char
acter He gave the name of Crossett
and intimated that he was preparing
to go to the East in the character of
missionary. This man impressed us
by his spirit of determination and
earnestness, yet there was nothing eff
fusive in language or manner. He was
the same man whose death has lust
been reported, and of whose unremit-
ting devotion to the unfortunate and
sick of the common Chinese popula-
ton the press has taken account very
properly.
We rejoice in noting such men.
Their lives fill us with respect and ad-
miration for the nobility of human nat
ure. We care not whence they or we
have comedy whatsoever lines of
descent" or evolution-the glory of a
high conservation to deeds of charity
amid circumstances that are repelant
to the great majority can not be dim
med by any criticism. They illustrate
the grand principle of common broth
erhood in man, and bring out into
vivid light those exalted elements that
are the property of human nature only.
