Is THE GIRAFFE GOING7
The LOng.NeckeA Animal Seems -
BE Following the North
American Bison,

Cosmopolitan sportsmen who have
hunted in the different countries of
the world agree that the giraffe is one
of the most highly priced game ami
mails of the world. 1t is generally be-
lieved, though, that this animal is al
most extinct. Once it was quite abun-
dant in South Africa. but it was ruth
lessly slaughtered by the native hunt
ers there until it has become . rare
animal there.
A writer to the Field, Of London, as
serts that giraffe are still to be found
in considerable numbers in Angola,
Portuguese West Africa, and that it is
likely to be many years before these
splendid animals are extermir ated.
The giraffe is known to the Angola
natives as ondue. Its range does not
extend in this region beyond the If
teenth degree of south latitude.
1t is hoped that these animals may
be preserved in their native lair It
would be Il grand work for the inter-
national organization for the preser-
vation of African big game which was
recently formed to exert itself for the
preservation of this animal.

DOGS SUFFER FROM WORRY.
Many Cases of Nervous ProstpatAon
Reported ~ Rssult Of Grand
Army REUNION.

The grand army reunion and the
Labor day parade have left some sad
remembrances along Michigan avenue
in the form of regular epidemic of
canine nervous prostration. says the
Chicago Tribune. The pet and toy
dogs which have been lording it over
the common kind along the Lake
Front park are now many of them
under the care OF veterinary surgeons
for most aggravated cases Of snap
pishness and nerves. Following upon
the excitement and crowds Of the re-
union and parade came the hot spell,
and then the dogs betrayed symp-
toms which were feared by many to
be hydrophobia. Their usually kind
and placid dispositions were decidedly
soured and they became really dam
gerous.
At one time three pet dogs from one
block were under the care of the doc
tors. with their feminine owners
weeping nearby and begging their
lives be spared Had they been ordi-
nary, plain dogs their deaths would
have been decreed forthwith.
The veterinary in charge said that
he had had at least dozen cases of
the kind in the space of few days
and found that in every instance the
patients were suffering from overex-
'citement. overfeeding and heat.

MISSIONARIES WELL PAID.
Dollars a Year and Travel
Ing Expenses.

The foreign missionary does not
work for love of humanity alone. He
is a well-paid person. and instead OF
having the usual Sundays and holi-
days of rest like other folks he is
given years vacation with salary
every once in from four to ten years.
says the Philadelphia Call. The mar
ceive $1,000 year and travel pay.
When missionaries who are married
have children old enough to require
to be kept in school away from home
they are allowed $3.50 additional. If
young children are with their parents
and to be supported 800 additional
is allowed for each child. OF course
these salaries include house rentals
and travelling expenses to and from
the stations
When missionaries take a vacation
OF year their travelling expenses to
and from their stations are paid at
this time and almost their full salary
likewise allowed them. More than
the salary must. of course. be the inn
pelling motive when missionaries go
to such fields as China.
1t is good. too. to learn that the la
borers are not lacking even in the
face of such horrors as it is feared
have recently been inflicted on Gospel
workers in China. Even at the pres
ent moment foreign mission boards
are in receipt of hundreds of letters
from volunteers who clamor to be sent
to the land of the Celestials.

Fox Hunting a Costly Luxury.

Fox hunting comes high in Britain.
Some interesting particulars relating
to the first cost of the sport were
given by Lord Bathurst. There are
now 221 packs of foxhounds in the
United kingdom-lSO in England. 26
in Scotland and Is in Ireland. and
these packs consist of 5000 couples
of hounds, and they necessitate the
employment of 100000 horses of the
value of $35 100000, involving an out
lay of S25.000,00O per annum for their

curing a temperature Of from five to
ten degrees hotter, and protecting the

Excessively heavy hail may penetrate

sufficiently broken to prevent the
plants from being broken. Mr.. Floyd.
in speaking Of the experiments, said:
.'The Sumatra is progressing finely.
The leaves are smaller of brighter
green and finer shade, and are silkier
than that raised in the open. We are
gathering the crop by leaves. picking

much better result than to dry them on

Prof. Jenkins said that Connecticut
tobacco no longer answered the de-
mand of the trade. and if the attempt
to grow Sumatra here was successful
it would result in great prosperity for

SOME POST OFFICE FIGURES.
Interesting Facts fren he heDert
~ the Lsnasn Festnastsr
0eneral.

The annual report of the postmas-
ter genera, although not due till par
lament reassembles, has been made
public by Lord Londonderry. He re-
tails the colossal blunders of the pub
lie with great gusto. 1t is really as
tonishing that 2ss.667 packets should
be posted unaddressed and still more
that 2,767 contained cash, notes postal
orders and other >aper money. There
is another record of carelessness
against the public in the fact that the
articles found loose in the post have
increased by nearly 80 per cent. in the
last four years. The craze for cheap
ness affects even postal covers, to our
loss. it would seem. For the fact that
undelivered correspondence for the
army in South Africa is being re-
turned in large quantities, there 10
list of losses in the war. The post
master general appears to be sur
prised that 35.44S letters addressed to
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, which were stopped at Cape
Town at the outbreak of the war,
were not claimed there by the per-
sons for whom they were intended
There was. no doubt, difficulty in
the way of either Beers or uitlanders
sending down to Cape Town for their
mails after war had been declared.
There is healthy surplus on the
working of the department of 3d.
