THE WHITE RHINoCERos.

surpassed every other modern quadruped
except the elephant, which it almost RI
vailed.
This giant unicorn was gregarious, and
Burchell found it in vast droves all through
the Bechuana country. But as the number
of European huntsmen increased, the num-
ber Of these great brutes decreased, and
when firearms came into general use among
the natives the work of destruction went
forward at fearful pace. OF dull percep-
tion and sluggish habits, the white rhinoc-
eros fell an easy prey to the Bechuanas and
Matabeles, who slaughtered thousands
merely for their horns and for their humps,
which were favorite article of food.
A few years ago the animal was believed
to be extinct. Then a group of six was dis
covered in a swampin Mashonaland. These
have now all been killed, and there is no
reason to suppose that a single specimen
remains alive.
The foregoing is CLEANED from an extend
ed account in the New York Tribune, which
further afiirms that no one who has not
visited South Africa has ever seen white
rhinoceros, since no living specimen was
ever taken out Of that country for exhibit
tion, and no complete skeleton nor entire
hide even has ever found its way to Europe
or America.

lower levels in the same way as does a
stream of water, although at much
slower rate, usually only few inches or
feet a day. But they are constantly NOV
ing with irresistible force, and as they move
over the rocks beneath they are continual
ly crushing and grinding them, and large
masses are often broken off and carried
along with the ice. 1t is evident that as
the glacier moves over it's bed the rocky
surface will be worn down and smoothed
off, and in some cases almost polished,
while the stones held by the glacier will, as
il moves along, scratch the underlying rock
more or less deeply in parallel lines. Not
only do we find these scratches near the in
significant glaciers Of the present day, but
we also find them all over the northern
part of the country, varying from hardly
visible marks to immense grooves large
enough to contain the body of man.
But the powders themselves, as they. are
carried along by the glaciers, are also sub
ject to the same process of grinding and
scratching. These rounded glacial bowl.
ders occur by millions in New England and
are very characteristic feature of the land
scape All are more or less rounded and
smoothed and some are almost polished.
Well marked specimens of striated or
scratched powders are somewhat rare, for
the constant movement would tend to wear
off the situations as soon as formed, but
not infrequently bowlder is found buried
in the drift just where it was left by the
melting glacier, with the parallel scratches
still remaining upon it and proving be.
yond doubt its glacial origin. According
to Popular Science News, in which occur
the foregoing statements, beautiful speci-
men of this sort was discovered in north.
eastern Massachusetts, not long ago. The
lower side was polished almost as smooth
as glass and covered with deep parallel
scratches

following recipe for the preparation of a
cleaning soap for bronze, brass and silver
ware; Fifty parts finely cut cocoa soap is by
heating, dissolved in sufficient quality
of water to form a thick paste Again D
parts crocus are stirred up with a little
water and ~ parts carbonate of ammoni-
um are mixed with it and stirred into the

Matching Colors by Electric Light.

Storekeepers know that the electric light
Is almost as good for matching colors as
daylight, but they generally use the arc
light. The light given by an incandescent
lamp is often little less yellow than gas
flame, and this leads some people into er-
ror, says The Industrial World. A daily
paper complains that yellow and pink can
not be distinguished by electric light; that
heliotrope assumes a pinky hue, and that
many delicate gradations Of shade are quite
lost under the light of the modern illumi-
nant. Pale blue also loses some of its
glory, but green is vastly improved. Bright
crimson looks well if artistically and eff.
fectively toned down, and some shades Of
primrose are especially beautiful.
Wrinkles, it is said are mercilessly
shown up, and the complexion that is not
of natures making becomes fat and ghast-
ly in the truthful light. For this reason
the electric light is not popular with many
people, but the knowing hostess secures all
its beautiful effects and makes everlasting
friends of her lady guests by covering every
lamp with shade of yellow silk. The re.
suit is magical

THE LAST OF THE uNlcoRNs.
Tho Discovery and Extinction of the Great
White One Horned RhInoeeros.

The Discovery and Extinction of the Great
white One Horned RbInoceros.
A wondrous brute, which only within the
present century emerged from the realms
Of myth into that OF scientific knowledge,
has within the present year passed into the
realm Of history. Reports from South Al
rica declare that the last white rhinooeros
has been killed, and that its skeleton, hide
and horn are now being shipped to England
to enrich the Natural History museum.
Every schoolboy, as Macaulay would say,
Ia familiar with the conventional figure Of
the unicorn, a sort Of horse shaped brute
with a single straight horn protruding from
its forehead And every schc olhcy has prob
ably been told that there yer was such
creature, save in imagination, which is
doubtless quite true. Yet modern science
not only destroys some old time beliefs but
vindicates others, and shows many a gro
tesque fairy tale to have basis of solid
fact. So with the unicorn. The one horned
beast was discredited, until an actual one
horned rhinoceros was found in India and
Sumatra.
Then at the beginning of the present CEN
tury Burchell discovered, in the region Of
South Africa, between the Orange and
Zambesi rivers, the stupendous creature
known as rhinoceros sinus, or, In common
phrase, the white or one horned rhlnoceros
The great white one horned rhinoceros was
shown to be a reality, though indeed neith-
er white nor, strictly speaking, one horned.
Its color was dirty gray, almost verging
on mouse color. And IL had two horns,
though one was so small as to be scarcely
perceptible, a mere hump with a tuft Of
stout bristles or inches high. The other
real horn was from to 4 feet long, thick
and tufted about with bristles at the base
and curving and tapering gracefully to a
hard, sharp point.
The full grown white rhinoceros was
nearly feet high at the shoulders and
from IA to 10 feet long, and thus in bulk

TABLE MANNER

English Etiquette, Much Of which VIII
Bear Copying on This Side of the Sea.
AS but few Americans can hope to know
more Of the etiquette Of the English than
their company manners" few notes from
alady's experience, related in the New York
Times, of their pleasing and polite conduct
in their own homes may be Of interest;
Take, for instance, table manners. They
represent a different grade Of civilization
from our own. No English gentleman
would ever put his arms upon the table be-
fore a meal or during its progress-a not
uncommon habit in this country. No Eng
lish lady would touch anything but her nap
kin until every one had been served, and
gentleman would as soon don pinafore or
bib as tuck his "serviette" inside his shirt
collar or spread II across his shi. front, A
child who places his bread on the wrong
side of his plate, breaks it off with both
hands or buffers it in mouthfuls is sharply
reproved and watched until the habit Is
broken. Nor would he be allowed to smear
his meat with mustard or arrange it as a
sandwich, both Of which oifenses may be
witnessed any day at our first class hotels,
committed by people otherwise we'll bred.
Children are promptly reprmanded IL
seen to crook their elbows in raising soup
to the mouth, and sampling tea or coffee
with spoon is something never done out
side the servants hall
There is a rigid code for the manipulation
Of fork and spoon. 1t is a much disputed
point in this country as to the transference
Of the fork to the right hand for any pur-
pose whatever, but once accustom yourself
to the English method-that of never max
ing such a transfer-and our American
fashion seems awkward and indefensible,
The utmost precision is observed in leaving
knife and fork upon the plate when the
meal is finished. They must be laid lit
tie to one side, the fork in the position in
which it would be used-that is to say,
with the tines down. 1t is a trifle, but it
illustrates the careful attention paid by the
English to table etiquette.
When boiled eggs are served, the shell is
not picked off, much less is the egg turned
out into glass or cup. The top is cut by
a bow from sharp knife, and when one
hasdone eating the shell is reversed in the
egg cup so that it may not offend by its un-
tidy appearance.
Children are taught as point Of eti-
quette the hygisnicrule to drink as little as
possible while eating.

Between the eighth and tenth centuries
portions of the Bible were translated into
Anglo-SaXon by Aldhelim, Egbert, Bede
and Others. In 1890 an English version of
the Psalms was made. Wycliffe's version
of the New Testament was finished in 1880,
and a little later he completed the Old.
The seven penitential Psalms were appar-
emily printed in 1905. Before 1926 William
Tyndale had completed an English transla-
tion of the New Testament. In the begin
ming Of that year they were secretly con-
veyed to England from the continent
where the translation had been made
where they were bought up and burned.
The excellence of his translation is evil
denced by the fact that in our present YER
sion a very large portion of the New Testa-
ment is taken verbatim from Tyndale's
translation.
In 1886 the first English version Of the
whole Bible was published by Miles Cover
dale, friend of Tyndale's, and was dedi-
Gated to Henry VIII. Between that year
and 1857 several versions of the Bible were
printed, but they were in the greater part
revisions Of Tyndale's previous work. The
Geneva Bible, or, as best known, the
Breeches Bible, appeared in 1857. 1t was
translated by several English divines who
had fed to Geneva to escape from the per-
secutions of Bloody Mary, and received the
name of Breeches Bible on account of the
rendering Of Genesis iii, Z, '"Then the eyes
OF both Of them were opened, and they knew
that they were naked, and they sewed fig
tree leaves together and made themselves
breeches." The Bishops Bible was pub
lished in London in 1868. The text of this
was compared with the original by eight
bishops and seven other scholars of reputa-
tiOn, who appended their initials to their
respective tasks.

Points About Bonnets.

A big bow placed quite at the back seems
to be popular form of trimming bonnets
just now. Velvet with a watered silk ef-
feet is among the latest novelties in stuffs
for trimming. Sable tails are extensively
used. One also sees bonnets bordered with
ermine. For smart effect a very large
hat or a very small bonnet is the thing to
have, and toques are very fashionable.

It IL Frequent In Isolated Spots, Near q
Stream, Marsh, Woods or Underground.
The search ior the cause OF cancer now
being carried on by physicians is a most
important one, and concerning it the New
York Herald is authority for the following
interesting information:
A French physician, NJ Fiessinger OF
Oyonnax, is inclined to attribute in the
matter to the topography OF the houses in
habited by persons who have contracted the
disease.
A critical examination of $50 cases Of can
Ger seems to have revealed to him on the
one hand the frequency Of the disease In
the neighborhood OF streams, woods and
isolated dwelling places, and on the other
its relative scarceness in cities and in por-
tions Of the country that have no rivers or
woods. A Dutch physician, NJ. Hanedoes.
had already been surprised at the frequency
of cancer patients in his district and at al
ways finding them near the banks Of the
river.
1t must not be thought, however, that
the neighborhood OF n stream Is alone capa-
BILE Of realizing the conditions requisite for
the vitality of the element Of cancer. 1so-
lation, the neighborhood of a wood, under
growth, marsh or an abandoned situation
Is in the opinion of many to be taken into
account in the choice which the disease
makes for an outbreak. In total Of 81
cases scattered over about 40 towns and
villages and visited during the last seven
years NJ. Fiessinger claims to have taken
care of 90, or nearly one-third, in isolated
houses.
Evidence seems to warrant the hypothe-
sis of an enemy residing near isolated
dwellings, rivers and woods. To explain
the way in which this enemy may attack
us, NJ. Fiessinger supposes the existence Of
chemical elements capable Of giving rise to
cellular proliferation, principles that are
borne by certain insects among the quanti-
ties of these little animals TO be found in
cancerous regions near streams or on the
edges Of forests. As for the nature of these
chemical principles, it may consist in an ir-
ritating secretion similar to that in the
possession Of the insects which make the
vegetable tumors called oakapples Can
we suppose that the irritating secretion
which causes the vegetable cell to prolifer-
ate may be able to have the same effect on
animal cells?
If the explanation Of the causes Of cancer
put forward by NJ. Fiessnger was abso-
lutely proved, it would furnish food for re-
Election to the amateurs Of country life.
