stalks whole until time for feeding. their
aroma Is better preserved. and the shred

GLANDS TO BE IMPORTED.

q native. its ability TO get along for
months together without water being q
mystery. To some extent. doubtless,
il depends pom moisture derived from
succulent plants, such as the wild wa
ter-meion.
There are two varieties OF Gland.
IA being reddish IN color, and the
other (known Is the Livingston eland)
of antelopes found IN South Africa,
where animals of this genus seem TO
have undergone the most extraordinary
differentiation. Some OF them are the
swfTtest of all animals. and
certain kinds are SO wild and wary that
hunters cannot possibly get within gum
