In few years, therefore, the African

is conceded, will benefit EnClishmen
and Germans alike in East Africa.
The lieutenant says he would have

governments joining hands in such a
project. and he dwelt upon the fact
that some 10000 elephants are killed
yearly in Africa for their ivory.

an average every tuSk weighs from

Africa are mostly killed with poisoned
arrows. Perhaps 50 per cent. break

tusks are never found. So. perhaps.
10000 elephants have been Sarifccd to

used in the interior for all kinds of

He is just returning after some years

India after his arrival in Germany from
Africa primarily to get a number of
tame elephants with which to subju-

Bashful lovers are almost an IN
known curiosity in Arabia, for Arab
''courtship'' is unceremonious, to say
the least Of it. A young man sees a
girl whom he would like to marry in
another tribe. He rides up at night,
finds out where she is sleeping, dashes
up to her tent, snatches her up in his
arms, puts her before him on his
horse and sweeps away like the wind.
If he happens to be caught he Is shot;
if he Is not the tribe from which he
has stolen the girl pays them visit

their wives, but there are some few
peace-loving youths who do not. On a

ANOTHER HYGEIA FIGHT.
Company Still Threatens to Close Its
Waukesha Spring

Waukesha, Wis, July 1.-THE re-
moval of the Waukesha Hygeia Springs
bottling works to Chicago and the tear
ing down and taking away of the Hy-
geia pavilion has been practically de-
cided upon, according to statements
by Hygeia people
Manager Kerr, of the Hygeia, stated
today that unless some compromise
could be effected between the Hygeia
company and the town the bottlins
works would be removed to Chicago
within ten days. The location of the
works there will be ON the north side,
not far from Lincoln park. large build
ing having already been secured for
that purpose. The pavilion will be
taken to Big Bend
The threat Of the company to move
to Chicago is looked upon by many as
last resort to induce Waukesha to con-
sent to the piping of the Hygeia water
to Chicago. This theory is strengthened
by the reasons set forth for the pro
posed removal. The immediate cause of
the company's action is alleged acts of
vandalism in breaking and disfiguring
the statuary within the pavilion.
1t is also claimed by Manager Kerr
that employees of the Hygeia are tam
pered with; that within the past few
months cans of water have been pol
luted and other acts perpetrated which
make it unsafe for them to do business
here. Citizns generally denounce these
acts.
The Hygeia company has submitted a
proposition to the village to sell the
Waukesh;l property to the village ut its
net cost. This would be $40, 900 for the
! two springs; $4,000 for the pavilion
and $1,000 for the bottlnig works. The
village board took no action on the mat
ter at the meeting last evening. 1t is
claimed by the Hygeia people that the
removal of the Hygeia bottling works
; to Chicago means a great deal more to
Waukeshas future welfare than is
generally supposed, as it is claimed
that eventually it will take other spring
businesses to Chicago also.
It is claimed also that a considerable
saving can be made by bOttling in Chi
cago in preference to Waukesha, and
that competition has grown so close in
the water business that every corner
must be cut in order to make money.
On the other hand representatives of
the different railroads here claim that
the freight rates from Waukesha to all
points are the same as from Chicago
and that the business can be conducted
as cheaply at WaukeSha as elsewhere
and with the additional advantage OF
putting up the water fresh from the
springs.

DIR. HOLMES IN THE COUNTRY.
His Summer Home on the Winding
Housatonic-Open Air Work

Rev. DR.. Hale in McClure's Maya.
zine: I was curious to know about
DR.. Holmes experience of country life
he knows all natures processes so well
So he told me how it happened that
went to Pittsfeld. It seems that, a
century and a half ago, his ancestor,
Jacob Wendell, had royal grant for
the whole township there, with some
small exception, perhaps. The place
was at first called Pontoosoc, then
Wendelltown and only afterward got
the name of Pittsfeld from William
Pitt. One part Of the Wendell property
descended to Dr. Holmes mother.
When he had once seen it he was
struck with its beauty and fitness for
country home and asked her that he
might have it for his own. It was
there that he built a house in which
he lived for eight or nine years. He
said that the Housatonic winds back
wards and forwards through it, so that
to go from one end Of his estate to the
other in a straight line required the
crossing it seven times. Here his chill
dren grew up and he and they were
enlivened anew every year by long
summer days there.
He was most interesting and ami
mated as he spoke Of the vigor of life
and work and poetical composition
which come from being in the open
air and living in the country. He wrote,
at the request Of the neighborhood, his
poem of "Ploughman," to be read at
a cattle show in Pittsfeld. "And when
] came to read it afterward / said,
Here it is! Here is open air life, here
is what brea thing the mountain air and
living in the midst of nature does for
a man. And I want to read you now
a piece of that poem, because it con-
tanned prophecy" And while he was
looking for the verses, he said, in the
vein Of the Autocrat, Nobody knows
but mans self how many good things
he has done"

THE COFFEE HOUSE PLAN.
One Way of Counteracting the Evil Infiu-
ences of the Saloon.

Speaking OF the work Of the temper
ance people of Hartford, Conn, in es-
tablishing coffee houses, the Wilt
mantle Journal, (Rep) says:
To persuade a man to take a tenn.
perance pledge is much easier
than to get the same man to
keep the pledge; that old associa-
tions often prove too strong for his
resolution. Indeed, it has been stated
that something like ninety per cent. OF
the adults who sign a temperance
pied = eventually break it. This is in
no way an argument against signing
the pledge; but it would seem to be
rather striking argument in favor of
providing means to help the man who
is trying to keep his pledge.
This is exactly what the coffee house
does. 1t furnishes him associates, a
1oafing place if you choose where he is
not subject to temptation, place
where he can sit and smoke and talk
with the men whom he wants to meet
in his evenings 1t may not be the
ideal way of improving. man; but it
will reach a good many to whom the
ideal way would appeal in vain.
If you take away the liquor associa-
tions and comradeship of man you
must give him something to take their
place. reasonably adapted to the man.
Otherwise he will gravitate back to the
old associations-and that means to the
old abits
