worlds annual consumption Of ivory is
estimated at something like 2,5OO.O0O
pounds. valued at $4,000. 900. and to sup
ply this amount 10000 elephants must
be killed. The consumption in Shelf
field alone requires the annual slaugh-
ter of $4,000 animals. Africa supplies
the greatest bulk of ivory, and it forms
one of the principal exports of the
Zanzibar merchants. One firm some
years ago sent away in one year as
many as 5000 tusks. The supply Of
ivory is not what it once was, and it
seems as if the wild elephant, like the
American bison, must eventually be ex-
terminated. The Indian wild elephant
has become so scarce of late that India
is now obliged to import "a considerable
quantity of ivory. indeed, the demand
for ivory is constantly increasing, and
as the supply becomes less and less The
price of ivory rises proportionately. \
vast amount of fossil ivory is exported
from eastern Siberia to various coun-
tries, chiefly to the continent, where il
is more highly esteemed than in Eng

Queen Wlhelmina's Marriage Largely
Governed by Reaaons of state.

Queen wlhelmina's Marriage Largely
Governed by Reasons OF State.
1t has beer widely heralded that the
engagement of Hollands young queen
and the prince of Wied is m in which
love cuts more of a figure than any
thing else. There is very good reason
to believe that, while there may be
more affection between the two than
is usually the case in royal marriages,
reasons of state have as much to do
with the prospective union as anything
else. One of these reasons has just
been pointed out by a European au-
thority. The royal family and the
people of Holland generally want to
avoid the possibility that by the mar
riage of the young sovereign to a
prince of a ruling family it might hap
pen after some time that through in
heritance a ruler of a foreign country
might become also king of Holland.
This might easily happen If the young
queen should marry a prince OF n
ruling European house. The Dutch
royal family and the people of Hol-
land do not wish to repeat the expe-
riences which the country has had in
the past. Such marriages were the
reasons for the Dutch var of indie
pendence in the sixteenth century, and
indirectly for the dividing of Belgium
and Holland into two kingdoms in
1882. Just such a consort as was de-
sired by the Dutch people is found in
the prince of Wied, whose family is
absolutely without political influence
in Germany. During the dominance
of Napoleon in a large part of Euro
pean affairs the Wieds were deprived
of their throne. After the evacuation
of Germany by the French it was con-
sidered best by the rulers of all the
large German states not to restore
their thrones to the smaller princes,
included among whom were the princes
of Wied. The former territory of the
Wieds was therefore given to Prussia
in 1915, since when the princes of Wied
have been Prussian subjects, with less
influence in Germany than many of
the oldest noble families. Neverthe-
less, the Wied family is considered to
U6 VI Gqudl DllIh W bhC ObhCi lOy Il
German families. Their title remains,
but that is all, as they have very small
family possessions. AS Bulwer says,
"The mate for beauty should be a
man, not a money chest" and when
the beauty Is also a queen this rule
should hold doubly good. The prince.
being an exceedingly ~presentable
young fellow and without any chance
of bringing up complications such as
the cautious Hollanders feared, was
just the man to mate with her majes-
ty Queen Wilhelmina. Hence his Sc
lection. His royal highness is poor.
but his wife will have enough for both,
and she is believed to NOW enough to
so manage affairs that her royal con-
sort will be held in check should he
ever manifest such gay tendencies as
have characterized the ruler of the
neighboring kingdom Of Belgium.

ditch that lined the churchyard in

was lost, the purpose of her seven
years struggle in vain-in vain-oh,
worse than a thousand times in vain,

1t was. She never reached the shell
tering ditch, his hand fell heavily upon
he shoulder, and, with a moan of
despair, the poor soul dropped to the
ground and lay at his feet covering
and whimpering in the wet grass like
a frightened child.
After a short silent struggle he lift
ed her up and plucked her hands from
her face.
ut is you-you!' he cried. Helen,
my wife, oh heaven!"

wan white glare. Helen, numb with
horror, looked at him whom a short
half hour before she had seen in the
bloom of prosperous comedy prime,

storm-beaten aged man, with dimmed
heavy eyes, worn wistful face, and
hair plentifully s~prinkled with grey,
robbed of youth, health, hope, peace,

AT this piteous sight love rose in
arms, quickened her fainting soul. and
reused her numbed limbs to resistance.
She struggled and shook him off
fiercely.
"Who-who are you? How dare you
you touch me? What do you mean?
Are you-you mad or-tipsy, to as
sault a harmless stranger like that?

"Helen, Helen" he exclaimed, in a
signing whisper-"oh Helen!"
She stammered, stopped, swayed ir-

Chinese Law.

According to the Chinese method OF
criminal prosecution a man is respon-
sible for the crime he may have COM
mitted personally, but if he chooses to
escape Justice by running away from
the place where the deed was commit
ted then the remaining members of his
immediate family are held and punish
ed In lieu of the real culprit. This
may seem a strange way of attracting
the real criminal back to the scene Of
his crime, but 1t has proved quite sue
c~essful. because 1t appeals to the re-
tigious side of the mans superstitious
nature. According to their religion
the mar who forsakes his parents
when In peril will find his soul sailing
around through hades without chart
Or compass for all eternity. In view
If this, compliance with the law is very
prompt, for John Chinaman does not
.are to take the desperate chance.

The traveller who visits Colorado for the
first time Is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth of
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixed in the minds of
strangers, crowding out all knowledge of
her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
Is ever given TO the IL ,O0G miles OF irriga-
cation annals that have been constructed,
thus far been made productive. Yet, Tout
out of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds of fruit
inc produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given 1t alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
Tit fruit industry has reached 1900, 900 a
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is a profitable industry. The min
eral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union In the output of
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro-
fusely Illustrated pamphlet, entitled THE
Fertile Lands Of Colorado" has just been
issued by the passenger department Of the
Denver & Rio Grande railway, and gives
detailed information Of the lands and their
location, and may be had upon application
