l.ancaster's 'Settlins Day."
Lancaster county, Pennsylvanis,
has custom that prevails perhaps
nowhere else in the United States.
''Settling day" in that county falls
upon April LIST, and on that day
Thousands of country folk gather
at Lancaster, the county seat. Bar
gains are made, contracts are en-
tered into, debts ere paid and new
ones are contracted. Ii . man con.
tracts q debt at any time during
the year the understanding is, in
the absence of specific agreement,
that payment shall be made on
settling day. A similar custom
prevails in parts of China, but the
Lancaster count,ans probably took
their settling day from German
ancestors.

IVORY IN AFRICA.
The Elephant Business Source Of Great
Profit.

The Elephant Business q Source Of Great
Profit.
Among the wild animals indigenous
to Africa which are profitable to COM
merce may be cited the elephant first OF
all. From the African elephant, in
deed, the worlds supply Of ivory is al
most exclusively drawn. The Ceylon
elephant has no tusks at all, and the
elephant Of India and the Malay Archi-
pelago, for what reason can not say,
furnishes but little ivory to the market;
30 little in fact that the Chinese, Japa-
nese and Indians have to import ivory
from Africa for the hundred and one
graceful artistic objects which they
manufacture. Next perhaps to gold and
diamonds, ivory is the most valuable
and profitable African product. AS
rule, people are given to talking OF 1t in
a disparaging way as vanishing guam
tity, and not q source of wealth to be
permanently calculated on. II proper
steps were taken toward judicious
preservation OF the elcphant-especially
the females--and its slaughter were to
a certain extent controlled and or
ganized, there is no reason why this
magnificent beast should become
extinct any more than has the Indian
elephant. The Indian elephant does
not breed in captivity, or, ut least,
case only occurs once in fifty years.
Practically you may say that every ele-
nhant Won 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 possibly
the same might be done, but in addition
a certain number of the males might be
killed annually for their ivory. Britain
has secured, fortunately, good share
of the finest elephant country in Africa.
In British South Central Africa, that is
to say, all Nyassaland and the country TO
the north ofthe Upper Zambezi' the ele-
plant Is at present extraordinarily
abundant. The same Is the case, to
perhaps an even greater extent, In
British East observation-disclosures
comes the best ivory in the world.
Then again we possess much OF the
country south of the Benue and ut the
back Of the on Rivers, and before long
we shall have the Egyptian Soudan. In
all these countries elephants are stin
found In vast herds In spite Of the reck-
less war waged against them by the ma
tives. To have saved and demonstrated
this magnificent beast would be one OF
the proudest glories that could be at
fached 20 England's name.-H. II. John
son, IN the Fortnightly Review.
