Value Of Wild Animals.

The small boy who measures the
standard of the circus by the number
of its elephants is very nearly right,
as to method, The pachydermata
proboscidea is the most costly animal
in captivity. African elephants
are now quoted at from $4,000 to
$1,000; an Indian elephant at about
$4,000. Ciirafles are worth about
the same price as M African ele-
phant on account of their scarcity, but
as the elephant is the most popular for
exhibition purposes its price keeps
mp. A fine hippopotamus may he
purchased for $1,000, IL big African
lion for from $1,000 to $500 and II
fine lioness for $500 or $500 Bengal
tigers are also worth $500 to 5000, and
camels from $400 to $500 apiece.

The I.ifp-Plant.

Visitors to Bermuda often bring
back to this country ASA souvenir OF
their trip the leaves of IN interesting
plant of the house-leck fnmily. 1t ~
known Ms the lfcplnnt, and when the
leaves begin to shrivel and fade they
send ont little shoots which in turn
bear leaves that continue to grow and
rem in fresh and green Tor months.
The leaves are about four inches long,
rich green in color, and of smooth
wnxen texture. If you take one of the
leaves md pin it to the wall indoors, it
will begin to spront within three or
four days, be it winter or summer. At
first the top portion OF the leaf Will
begin to shrivel mp, and this Is likely
to continue until the upper half has
lost its green color. Then tiny white
roots will sprout from the edges, and,
in time, diminut;ve green leaves will
appear on these. These little off
shoots will sometimes grow to be an
inch long, and contain several pairs OF
leaves The limit of their existence
seems to depend upon the amount of
heat and light they can obtain. Har.

DELUGE IN OKLAHOMA.
TwO-Thirds Victims Were COlOred-
Property Loss, 100000.

GUTHRIE, Ok. April 3O-Without warning,
at sunrise a mighty wall OF water, from six
to eight feet high and II mile wide broke upon
West Guthrie, crushing houses, sweeping
away property, and drowning many people.
Every movable thing was swept before the
wave, which passed on into the Canadian
valley with resistless force, wreaking terrible
destruction to life and property wherever it
reached. 1t Is known that dozens OF lives
have been lost how many may not be known
for weeks; hundreds OF houses were
wrecked; many farmers were completely
ruined; bridges and tracks were washed out,
and railway traffic In every direction is at a
standstill. The efforts OF rescIing parties
have In many cases proved in vain. Many
persons fOated down stream before they
could be reached and their fate is I'M
known. Others will pass the night in
trees in midstream or perched on housetOps.
The property loss Is placed at something
like 200, 000. Fully two-thirds of the victims
were colored. Business has been suspended
oil day in Guthrie, the stores and bank be-
ing closed. AS thorough IN organization Tor
relief as Is possible has been made. but all
aid has been necessarily retarded by the con-
fused conditions OF things. 1t will be inn
possible to explore the houses until the
water subsidies, as many of them are sub
merged. As darkness gathered over the
scene many overturned houses were seen lar

Col. Grant placed the wreath which his
daughter had made on the casket and 1t was
sealed up. It was carried to the new ma
soleum and the massive cover OF the por-
phyry sarcophagus was lowered into place
by the use OF derrick.
The presidential party arrived at the
Windsor hotel on Monday afternoon and the
celebrated Stonewall Jackson brigade band
OF stanton. Va, gave serenade to Presi-
dent Mckinley. This famous band accom-
panied Stonewall Jackson all through the
civil war. There are six original war mem
beers OF the band in its active service and
the remaining members Of the band are sons
of the veterans.
At the battle OF Appomattox General
Grant issued an order to allow the members
of the band to take their instruments home
with them, which they still use. The band
occupied post of honor at the funeral OF
General Grant, and came to do honor to his
memory. In letter received from Presi-
dent Hanes, OF the band, by Charles Broad
way Rouss, Of this city, he says: ave trust
the humble tribute we bring, enriched by
memories OF the wonderful magnaminity
that characterized ut memorable Appomat-
tox the victor's grace to "a fallen but brave
and noble foe, may cement the fraternal

STUDY OF GENEALOGY.
Revival OF Interest in Family His
tOry-Cause and Effect.

The recent growth and increase OF soci-
cites in which eligibility TO membership de-
ponds upon the deeds OF ancestors rather
than upon any personal qualifications OF
members, has resulted in a great revival
of the study of genealogy in this country.
1t Is an injustice to characterize this move
ment as merely Il society fad ar passing
fancy. 1t is much more. 1t stimulates u
desire for genealogical and historical re-
search. a pleasing and interesting study. IL
leads to a proper respect for ones ancestors
and creates desire to emulate their work
for the good Of ones family and COM
try. 1t reyives an interest in American
history, and promotes patriotism. good
citizenship and love Of country. Fore
most among journals to aid in extend
ing this interesting study is the New York
Mail and Express. which maintains week
ly department devoted to queries for family
records and replies thereto. The depart
ment is open to any one who wishes to make
use Of it. In this connection that paper is
printing Il long series of articles devoted To
the history of the families and descendants
