is killed, which makes it much appre-
clated in Central Africa, where the
meat usually as tough as shoe leather
and nearly as dry" In addition to the
quality of the meat, an eland has the
additional requisite of large size. A
full grown eland is as large as two
year-old shorthorn, and has far more
the appearance of a high-bred bullock
than an antelope. Its horns are short
and straight, pointing backward, and
and it has dewlap like al OK. It can
live on the hardest fare, and soon grows
very fat on good pasture. Best of all,
it becomes quite tame, and is easily ac-
climatized. The writer remembers to
have seen splendid group of these
animals in the Jardip d'Acclamatation
in the Bois de Boulogne, an old bull
nearly '16 hands high, cow, and two
young, apparently yearling and
two-year-old. They were in good con-
dition, though living in paddock with
only an open shed to shelter them from
the weather. The late Lord Darby
kept them at Knowsley Park for many
years. It seems to be waste of the re-
sources of nature to allow these fine
creatures to be exterminated, as they
soon will be, in our new American en-
plre. Why should we not save the
eland, the harmless antelope, the koo-
doc, and other larger African antelope
from extermination-and even try to
rear some in Englande The experiment
may be recommended to some of the
noble owners of parks and chases who
have already done so much to preserve
our own deer and wild cattle from ex-
termination. America has allowed the
bison to perish. Shall we not take
warning, and preserve for our own use
the splendid African antelopes which,
within the memory of man, were a
thousand times more numerous than
they are to-day?

TO KISS OR NOr TO KISS .
Physicians Say the Pastime is Dangerou us.
Certificates Suggested.
From the Baltimore Sun

Next to jumping off express trains,
going up in balloons and monkeying
with buzz saws kissing seems to be the
1ost risky and dangerous pastime to
hich the human family is given, if
statements of well-known physicians
are to be believed.
A cable dispatch from Berlin states
that twenty-five different species of
bacteria find lodgment in the human
mouth and that he wants kissing
abandoned, Those who still persist in
the dangerous practice, he suggests,
should be muzzled with respirators un-
til they see the error of their ways and
are willing to reform. He suggests no
substitute.
DR.. William H. Grim, when his at
tention was called to the cablegram,
said that kissing was prolific cause Of
the spread of infectious and contagious
diseases, particularly such as dipth-
liberia, measles, whooping-cough, scar
let and typhoid fevers and consump-
tion. He produced several ponderous
volumes in which the subject was
treated, and il which some cold-hearted
statistician had figured it out that
32-l0 per centum of certain diseases
were transmitted by the apparently
harmless kiss. DR.. Grim said he didn't
expect that any amount or argument
woul check the habit which has been
going on since the foundation of the
world, but he suggested that it would
be we'll for those who are much given
to the exercise to obtain certificates of
health, which they could show to each
other at the beginning of each per-
formance. Anyone who could not
produce such a certificate should be
ruled out of the game.
DR.. Fannie E. Hopes, who has just
returned from abroad, agreed with the
Berlin physician. She said that the
habit was very dangerous one indeed,
causing the spread ofinfectious diseases
through entire. families, and often
through whole neighborhoods. She
also thought the habit was foolish and
senseless, and said she was opposed to
it on principle. She cited several
cases: where diphtheris and typhoid
fever 5had been spread by kissing, and
said. that many mothers have in
structed their nurses not to allow their
children to be kissed when the nurses
have them out in the streets.
