The recent manifesto of the British
war Office that il would not purchase
any more American dressed beef or
mutton for the British army will be
ftlt by the steamship companies run
ming out of Portland. They have been
handling many tons of dressed beef
on every trip, but IL seems To b. he
general idea about the steamship
offices that IL the British war Office
thinks that American dressed beef is
not good enough for Tommy Atkins
the British people will think IL is not
good enough for them. AS a result II
is expected that the shipment Of
dressed beef and other meats will saII
off To great extent. but on the
other hand the shipment of cattle on
the hoof will materially increase. 1t is
said here by men who are familiar
with this business that the order Of
the British war office was brought
about largely through the agitation Of
the farmers OF the snug little island
who have long been fighting the Amer
lean dressed beef in hopes that il will
be driven out Of the market thus in
creasing their own profits and Great
ing greater demand for their own
cattle.

Dared by an Elephant.

Engine Driver Russell, while taking
his freight train from Teluk Anson to
1poh, on the Malay peninsula, was
confronted by a big tusker elephant,
who usurped the centre of the trick.
a grand contest then ensued between
elephant and engine The elephant
repeatedly charged the engine, and
this game went on for nearly an hour.
The driver occasionally backed the
engine, and then the elephant would
stand aside from the track. but on tile
engine again coming forward the ami
NAL would return to the track and re-
new its charges. The driver describes
the onslaught of the elephant rs most
terrific, particularly on one occasion.
when he feared the smoke-box door
had been battered in. OF course, the
driver could have charged at the
tusker but then the great probability
would have been that the engine
would have been derailed.
Doubtless suffering from a sore head
at the futile contest between ivory and
iron, the elephant altered his tactics,
and, turning its rear portion to the
iron steed, endeayored to push its an
tagonist backward. Here came the
chance for the driver, who quickly
turned on the steam and gradually
pushed the elephant off the line, but
in doing so one of the engine wheels
went over the hind legs of the ele-
phant and thus Mr.. Tusker was dis
abled. The freight train then pro-
ceeding on its journey, bearing evil
dent marks Of the struggle ON the cow
catcher and the smoke box. Several
pieces of broken tusks were picked up
and these commanded n good price

Disappearing Waters.

Father Daull a French missionary
writes from Karema that, since 1879,
the surface of Lake Tanganyika has
fallen twenty-five feet; with the re-
suit that along the shore of the lake
there is a belt of cultivated ground,
over half mile in width, between the
present waters edge and that of twep-
ty years ago. The level now seems
TO be permanently fixed. Father Daull
does not think that there has been a
shrinkage of the lake, but that the
present is its normal level, and that
the previous higher level was owing to
one Of the outlets being clogged up.
His opinion is, however, not shared
by many travellers. Scott Elliot, who
made a careful investigation of the
lake, found evidences that at fori4.
er period the level was much higher
than even in 1879, and thinks that
there has been a great shrinkage. Be
sides, this latter idea is only in keep
ing with the general tendency OF Afri,
can lakes. The Ritwa Lake, which is
still fifty miles long and from twelve
to twenty miles broad, is known tc
be drying UP. DR.. Kandt, Il celebrated
German African traveller, has recently
reported that during his travels he
discovered the dry bed of what was
formerly a large lake between Lakes
Albert Edward and Kiwu.

WE KICK THE CHAP THAT'S DOWN

This is a queer old world of ours, just as
it's always been,
1t is made up of hills and dales, of women
and of men;
And while a host is ever near the one that
wins the crown,
A goodly number are about to kick the
chap that's down.
Whoever strives IN any line and meets
with great success
The world will sit up half the night to
hatter to excess;
But woe to him who tries and fails-he
gets chilling frown,
Because so many still delight to kick the
chap that's down.
And so I fancy twill remain down to the
end of time
Since human natures bout the same in
every age and cline;
a man has always been a man, clown
has been a clown,
So there will always be a crowd to kick
the chap that's down.
