WALKING STICK CUT LONG,
Fashion Also DEGREES Its Return to
Earth-No Longer Carried as
Battering Ram.

The fact of the return Of the walk.
ing stick to earth is very remark
able one, for it must be approaching
Is years since walking sticks were
used, and not worn or merely carried,
says the Court Journal. With the dis
appearance of the. "crutch" the walk
ing stick eft the ground. AT first IT
was carried in the right hand conslG-
erably nearer the ferrule than the
top" and, held in this position, was
flourished in a most dangerous man
ner. Before long the hand travelled
more amidships, when the action, from
ilail-like, became a ramming one.
Then suddenly the stick was thrust
under the left arm, where it remained
some years. The advent of the curved
or crook handle had its inevitable re-
suit. lnstinctively man wants to hook
1t upon something, and, finding his
left arm close at hand, straightway
hung it up and created fashion after
the unconscious manner of his kind.
Why the walking stick has once more
come to the ground, thus to discover
the perforated condition of the West
end pavement, it is at present impos-
sible to say, 1t will no doubt be re-
marked, however, that the king has for
year past generally been seen
using a walking stick of rather
more than usual length, and all sticks
are now cut long.

HlPPoPOTAMUS rs DOOMED
Noted Alican Explorer Says He
Causes More Deaths Annually
Than Lion and Leopard Together.

The hippoputamus is doomed.
The regulations drawn up some time
ago to control big game hunters in the
Soudan are to be revised shortly, and
the "hlppo'-whose hunter and killer
was taxed when the Soudan was first
opened up-the .lippo," as Aforesaid,
is doomed to "a sort OF" determination.
Because" said Sir Harry Johnston,
the noted African explorer, in converse
ton, its all very we'll for people to
talk about determination in regard to
the hippo but it will prove a very diff
ticult matter to get rid Of him. There are
vast marshes in Africa 10 which he can
and will resort, and from which he will
only be driven at last by well-organ-
lied, well-equipped and determined body
OF men.
II am perhaps little fanatical with
regard to the preservation OF lower ami
NAL life" went on Sir Henry, but |
should not carry my passion for it so far
as to let lion loose in England. And
the hippo in the rivers of Africa is as
dangerous as the lion would be on dry
land. Let the lion alone, and he lets
you alone-especially has he terror OF
a white mans face-but the hippo
causes more deaths annually in Africa
than the lion and the leopard together
He constantly attacks boats from which
he has received no offense, killing or
mauling their occupants, and he destroys
fields and gardens by the score. What
he does not eat he sits IN"
