Preserve. For African Elephsnts.

From the commercial standpoint, even
more than from tle sentiment, the scheme
initiated by Mr.. L. n. Buxton and warm
" supported by Sir William Fowler for
preserving the African elephant from ex-
termination deserves sympathetic consid-
Grafton. 1t proposes to establish in the
SOmaliland protecturate an extensive pre-
serve where this valuable animal would
be safeguardcd from ambitious spOrtsmen.
There is no question that this is perfectly
feasible A preserve on kindred lines, but
on very small scale, already exists in
Cape Colony, while in India Ceylon and
even Siam state protection is afforded to
the Asiatic elephant. Formerly there was
no protection whatever in these countries,
with the result that n most valC s1le means
of transport came within measurable dis
lance of extinction.
That the African elephant can be easily
domesticatcd and trained as a beast Of
burden is no longer open to controversy.
The specimen now at the ZOO may be
daily seen carrying women and children up
and down the broad walk Nor can it lie
disputed for n moment that an animal cg-

The accounts of the Monte Carlo Casino
company for the yenr ending March 81
have just been made public and show that
the receipts have fallen off considerably
moro than 200, 600 francs. This decrease
Is attributed to tho extraordinary luck
which attended two or three plungers who
went to Monte Carlo in the early part of
the seas0p and won large sums. Their
aggregate winnings indeed represent al
most exactly the amount Of the decrease,
and for once there is no truth I'm the axiom
of old Pcre Blanc, the founder, "ROuge

The one player who "broIe the bank, &"
instead of breaking" himself, was DIR.
Grosdanovitch, a Russian army surgeon,
who arrived in the carly part of last au-
tumn. He had n good sized sum of money
to begin with and started in by stalking
the maximum on every turn of the wheel
Luck was with him from the start.
Croupier after crOupier changed places at
the Russians table, but still his pile of
banknotes and gold grew. At last amid

In the first place. if you want to be ef
fectual in doing good, You must be very
sure Of your weapon There was somo-
thing very fascinating about the archery
Of olden times. Perhaps you do not know
what they could do with the bow and ar
row Why, tho chief battles fought by the
English Plantagcnets were with the long
bow They would take the arrow Of pol
ished wood and feather it with the plume
of bird, and then it would fly from the
bowstring of plated silk. The broad fields
of Agincourt, and Solway Moss, and Ne
ville's cross heard the loud thrum of the
archer's bowstring Now, my Christian
friends, we have mightier weapon than
that 1t Is the arrow Of the gospel 1t Is
a sharp arrow; it is a strait arrow; it is
feathered from the wing of tho dove of
God 5 spirit; it flies from bow made out
of the wood Of the cross. As far as l can
estimate or calculate 1t has brought down
4OO, DOC, 900 souls Paul knew how to
bring the notch of that arrow on to that
bowstring, and its whir was heard through
the Corinthian theaters, and through the
courtroom, until the knees Of Felix knock
ed together 1t was that arrow that stuck
In Luthcris heart when he cried out; "Oh,
my sins Oh, my sinsl" If it strike man
In the head, It kills his skepticism; if 1t
strike a man In the heel, it will turn his
step; if it strike him in the heart, no
throws up his hands, as did the Emperor
Julian Of old when wounded in the battle,
crying, 20 Galilean, thou hast cOnqueredr'
In the armory Of the Earl Of Pembroke
there are old corselets which show that the
arrow of the English used to go through
the breastplate, through the body of the
warrior and out through the backplate.

that can do anything like this gospel. The
