Africa VIII Have to Furnish the Markets
of the World.
Among the wild animals indigenous to
Africa. which are profitable to commerce.
may be cited the elephant first of all. From
the African elephant, indeed, the worlds
supply Of ivory is almost exclusively
drawn. The Ceylon elephant has no tusks
at all, and the elephants of India and the
Malay Archipelago, for what reason [ can
not say, furnishes but little ivory to the
markets so Httle IN fact, that the Chinese
japanese and Indians have to import ivory
from Africa for the hundred and one grace
full artistic objects which they manufact-
ure Next, perhaps, to gold and diamonds,
ivory Is tile most valuable and profitable
African product As a rule, people are
given to talking of 1t in disparaging way
as a vanishing quantity, and not a source of
wealth to be permanently calculated on. If
proper steps were taken toward judiciOuS
preservation OF the elephant-eSpccialiy the
lemaIeS-and Its slaughter were to a certain
extent controlled and organized, there is no
reason why this magnificent beast should
become extinct any more than has the In
dian elephant. The Indian elephant does
not breed in captivity, OF, at least, case
only occurs once in fifty years. Practically
you may say that every elephant YOU see
in the East has been caught in a wild state
when young. In India the elephants are
utilized as beasts of burden. In Africa pos
sloiy the same might be done, but in addition
certain number of the males might
be killed annually for their ivory. Britain
has secured, fortunately, good share of the
nnest elephant country in Africa. In Brit
lSh South Central Africa, that is to say. all
Nyasaiand and the country to the north of
the Upper Zambezi, the elephant is at pres
ent extraordinarily abundant. The same is
the case, TO perhaps an even greater extent,

comes the best ivory in the world. Then
again we possess much of the country south
OF the Benue and at the back of the oil
Rivers, and before long we shall have the
Egyptian Soudan. In all these countries
elephants are still found in vast herds, in
spite OF the reckless war waged against
them by the natives. To have saved and
domesticated this magnificent beast would
be one of the proudest gluries that could be-
attached to England's name,-H. II. john
ston in the FortnightIy Review.

So delighted was Cesar to find himself
| thus Unexpectedly beside Georgette that al
first thoughts and words refused to pair
but gradually his tongue looSened and his
ideas kept even pace with the witty and
merry conceits of Mile. de Witt-Fleury.
Suddenly. however, a villa and uncon-
troltable fancy appeared TO seize upon her.
Crying out In English, " He may have me
who catches mel" she struck her racer a
singing blow and he responded with an eX-
traordinarv vigor and readiness.
Young HautOt was by no means an IN
| ferior rider and his chunky and short
| limbed horse, although an excellent ana am
| bilious animal, seemed really no match lot
the English racer, but he sprang FORWARD at
| touch Of the whip. -.
For few seconds the two horses went
neck and neck. Cesar had heard ana IN

T could but hold his place what splendid
onnnrtunity il would be to tell her the tale
Of his love. On, on, over field and heather
the two horses sped side by side. Both
riders were silent and neither looked upon
the other Presently Cesar saw that
GeOrgette's loDg-limbed thoroughbred was
gradually drawing away from him, but a
slight urging brought the sturdy Norman up
beside his 1.-THE English brother. Again
Georgette glided away, and it required a
vigorous touch OF CeSar's spurs TO keep his
animal in place. At that instant a wild
and ringing cry of "Ha! Beauty beStir thy
self!' escaped from GeorGette's lips, and
her whip fell again and again on the hot
TANKS of the superb animal bearing her.
CeSaT's horse was Stil uncouquered and
made last squirt TO follow. Quite likely
too, he would have heen able TO hold his
place had not hedge suddenly cut the
riders eff.
Like a winged being Georgette's mare
passed over the obstruction. With splendid
courage and bottom Cesar's horse attempted
TO follow, but rolled his muster ignOminOus-

approach him with the ordinary verbiage of
confidence. 1t seemed more meet to testify
their sympathy by respectful silence. and
therefore was it that the young man found
hlmself-eSpecially after he had recrossed
the threshold of that great, rambling man
orlal nome, now a thousand times more
cneeriess and desolnte than overwhelmingly
alone in the world. Worn out by weeping,
ne trled TO sleep, but the silence was too
ueep ana impressive, and held his sense so
enthralled that sleep was impossible.
II. AS he lay there, waiting for the coming of
the day, he drew some little comfort Inv
murmuring to himself. yet loud enough SO
that bis ears might catch the words; Caro-
line Donet - Rue de PEperlan, third story
second door" Over and over again he re-
peated these words, until they began to
take on the mysterious charm of an incanta-
ton. He could not get away from them
nor did he wish to. HNyielded himself up
TO their strange potency, until il had exer
cised his sorrow aud brought him visions of
something beyond the dull, hard, comfort
less present. Over and over again the name
of Caroline fell from his lips in that long
vigil, and sweet, gentle. almost girl-like
figure rose before him and beekened him
away. Her soft blue eyes were heavy with
weeping, and her long, silken, brown hair

a Great stamn ColIector

The Duke of Edinburgh is a great STAMP
collector, and has stamps which are worth
very large sum of money. Officers IN tBe
navy who know his Royal Highness' weak
ness for these valuable little pieces of paper
collect those of whatever foreign station
they may be at and send them to the ROYAL
Admiral, says the London Truth. There is
one private collection in England which has
been valued at 100000; and even the heads
OF the magnificent house of Rothschild are
not above investing considerable sums in
the purchase OF rare and valuable stamps.
The German stamps of the odd pattern will
be of no value in circulation after March
next. A complete set of them will, how
ever, be very useful in a collection, and eff
forts are being made to secure these for
many of our best known collectors.

NJ Baross. the Hungarian Minister of
Commerce, says the Vienna correspondent
OF the London Daily News, is not satisfied
with the renown which the introduction of
the zone tariff has gained for him, but is
which he proposes to give us the fastest
trains in the world. This plan is for an
electric railway for passengers only, be-
tween Vienna and Buda-Pesth. The dis
lance of 1876 miles would be achieved in two
hours and half. One railway carriage
would start every ten minutes between in
the morning and midnight. The only diff
Guilty is the capital required for the execu-
ton of the project, which is no less than
$4,000, 900 forms. The fare from Vienna to
Pesth would be 10 forms.

that Caroline was making her way into his
heart, and while he did not assist her neither
did he set any obstacle in her way.
AS yet he had not been alone with her.
At least Nine. Donet appeared and disap-
peared as her duties required. But now
came an evening when Cesar found
himself alone with Mile. Donet. Her
mother had left the house on some
important orrand. To his more than
surprise Cesar noticed that she was
strangely excited and that her eyes were
filed with fearless suffering. He was
deeply touched, and when, upon his speak
ing a few words of sympathy, Caroline's
eyes looked her thanks with infinite tender
ness. he threw his arms about her, ana
pressing her warmly to his breast kissed
her hair and forehead.

Cesar Hautot came to himself like man
recovering from long fit of sickness.
He wondered that lie was still alive.
Had it not been that the shooting season
vas about to open he would have taken
10 his bed, SO utterly for the moment had
the relish gone out of life and such leaden
weight of disappointment was he staggering
under.

was a little man, thick through in every
direction, and there was visible upon bis
round, red cheeks a perfect network of
minute veins of purple hue, giving them
the appearance OF maps intended to show

and now came that important juncture al
which every nerve is strained to gain the
honor Of the fist successful shot.
Suddenly the report of fowlng niece
echoed through the ravine. The elder
Hautot had fired. Every one halted and a
partridge was seen TO quit the flock which
fitted out of sight ana futter down into the
underbrush. In the excitement of the
moment the proprietor broke into run,
tearing his way along through the briars in
search of his bird. Only few instants
