BY means Of this remarkable oven
the meat is cooked moro thoroughly
than could be achieved in any oven of
more elaborate construction, the whole
OF the tendons, the fat, the immature
bone, and similar substance being con-
verted into gelatinous mass, which
the African hunter seems to prefer to
all other dishes, excepting, perhaps,
the marrow taken from the leg bones
OF the giraffe or the Gland.
Sometimes the trunk is cut into
thick slices and baked at the same
time with tho feet. Although this
part of the elephant may not be re-
markable for the excellence of its
flavor, it has, at nll events, the capa-
blllty OF being made tender by cook
ing, which is by no means the case
with the meat that is usually obtained
from the animals which inhabit South
ern Africa. Even the skull itself is
broken up for the sake of the oily fat
which fills the honey comb like cells
which intervene between the plates
of the skull. The rest of the meat is
converted into "bietongue" by cut
ting it into strips and drying it In tho
sun. As general rule the Kaffirs do
not like to leave an animal until they
have dried or consumed the whole OF
the meat. Under the ready spears and
powerful jaws Of the natives even an
elephant is soon reduced to skeleton,
as may be imagined from the fact that
five kat1irs can eat buffalo in o day
and half.
The skull and tusks can generally
be left out on the spot for some time,
as the hunters respect each others
marks, and will not, as a rule, take
the tusks from an elephant that has
been killed and marked by another.
The object in allowing the head to re.
main untouched is that putrefaction
may take place and render the task of
extracting the tusks easier than is the
case when they are taken out at once.

A Oneen's Curious YYays.

Madagascar's Queen, according to all
accounts, has many curious ways and
traits OF character. She is always
dressed in the latest Partisan style.
Her private expenses are met by
fund called the ''hasina,"' to which
all who come into the presence of her
Majesty are required to contribute
five-franc piece. 1t is the duty of the
youngest member OF the royal family
to present hat, into which the coin is
dropped. Moreover, whenever the
Queen travels the inhabitants of all
the towns end villages she visits are
expected to contribute to the same
fund either in money or kind. She is
very fond of games, particularly of
lotto and billiards, and she flatters
herself she can fly kite higher than

ANOTHER SPRING,

That build their nests and pair and sinS,

And all the winds that blow.

start combustion. Other chemicals would, indeed be
safer for the employees but none of them is even
approximately as safe or useful from the standpoint
Of the public. II Is evident therefore, that the use
OF phosphorus must continue; but, though that Is
the case. II by no means follows that the manufac
ture OF matches must be at the OF hundreds Of

Commissioners declare In the ventilation OF fac
