men have formed committee for the
purpose of tanning and preserving the
African elephant" II is computed, ac-
cording to statistical data Of the ex-
ports of ivory, that no fewer than from,
fifty To sixty thousand elephants in
Africa are killed every year. The COM

not far distant when the last elephant

such prospect in view, the committee
have decided To put q stop TO this mis-
chievous slaughter. By tanning and
maintaining the last representatives Of
a fast-dying-out animal world the COM
mittee hope 20 preserve unimpaired the
enormous power the elephant is known
to possess. 80 that he may be of still
further use 10 mankind. The German
Colonial company have already devoted
a large sum of money to this purpose,

by granting 4 liberal allowance.

THE THUNDER SNAKE.
This Story Tells OF the Peculiar Charae-
tertstfcs of This Reptile.

Mr. NJ. III. Hill, living above Taylor,
La, Just in the edge of Webster, tells
the following snake story, for the truth
of which he vouches:
His little son Harry went into the
nursery the other night to get his bail,
which he remembered TO have dropped
behind trunk in tho corner. Present
" the little fellow came running out,
saying that in the dark he had stepped
upon snake with his bare feet. Mr..
Hill was just starting out TO the barn
TO feed his stock, and had a lantern in
his hand Going hurriedly into the
nursery he set the lantern down on the
floor, whereupOn big black chicken

trunk. making straight for the light,
lashing and butting az it as il trying to
turn il over
HIN stepped on the snake, MASKING
its head off. which he threw out Of the
window Then taking the reptile by
the tail, he carried IL out with him,
throwing it away in the lot as he
passed on 10 the stables. The next
morning little Harry was out playing
under the house and came running in

would have drawn line between the

nothing else than official. and the men
who hold place become ordinary by
mere force of numbers. Heart pangs
come to new congressman, who find
themselves counting for no more than
ordinary citizens outside of their coun-
Gil chamber Indeed, only the members
of the upper house have been able, By
reason of their fewness and long tenure
of office TO create an artificial dignity

case where even the president walks
about the streets on fine afternoons, is
met in the shops, goes on foot to and
from church, and rides about the coun-

from those of his genteel neighbors?

Where They Come from and What They

The question is often asked, where
do the early spring fruits and vegeta
bles come from? Ordina rily the only
satisfaction obtained in answer is
general statement which confirms a
previous impression that they come

fined locality approaches us until
