An Old, Old Story.

How ancient Is the servant problem?
A correspondent Of the New York Post
referring to q letter from the Duchess
Of Ormonde, written In 1868, quotes
from an epistle dated North Yarmouth,
Me-, March 26. 1856, as follows: Il
have been without any but Betsy
about fortnight and am determined
to continue so rather than endeavor to
hire one OF this country. The pride Of
independence Is so prevalent here that
the people had rather slave at home
than live in my kitchen in plenty.
Were to take them to my table they
would have no objection to oblige me.
The want Of good domestics is general;
therefore l have less reason to COM
plain, but | wish a method could be
found to render us less dependent upon
them"

India. Each of these animals Is dam
gerous on different and individual
grounds. The elephant, though less

Is terrifying because Of his enormous
strength, which stops at no obstacle,
and the extreme difficulty Of reaching

some than standing ankle deep in
clinging mud in dense cover, with the
jungle crashing around you as though
the entire forest was topping, as the
elephant you have wounded comes
smashing his way in your direction.
The seladang Is dangerous partly be-
cause Of the thick jungle he seeks
when wounded, but more especially
because Of his tremendous vitality and
his usual though not inyariable habit
Of awaiting the hunter on his tracks
and charging suddenly, swiftly and
viciously. 1t requires close and hard
shooting to bring down one of these

reason the rhino Is so formidable is be-
cause its vulnerable spots arc so hard
to reach. Its brain is as small in pro-

SAVE THE BUFFALO
THE MOVEMENT FOR THIS IS
 GAINING GROUND.
Ernest Harold Baynes Tells of the Men and Societies Assisting in This Work-The Real Ameri-
 can Animal.

The movement for the preservation of the last few hundred specimens of American buffalo, not long since the most numerous of the earths big man. mals, is rapidly gaining ground. The deep regret of the American people at the fact that their grandest native ami nal has all but disappeared, finds ex- pression in hundred ways. Naturalists and true sportsmen are meeting, both in public and in private. not to discuss the advisability or the possibility of pre- serving the animal-those points have been decided once and for all by the best authorities in the country-but to con- slider and formulate wise plans for it's preservation. Naturalists who have never lectured or spoken in public be- fore are raising their voices in this cause; they know that if they have any thing to say in the interest Of the bufYa- 10, they must say it at once or it will be too late. And men, aye. and women, too, who are not naturalsts, but who are lov- CTS of things which live, are helping the movement by expressing to others their interest in it.
 The interest of scientific bodies is be- ing aroused, and almost every day we hear of some sportsman's club or nat ural history society discussing the sub ject of the buffalo and passing resolu- tions expressing sympathy with the movement now on foot to save him. Some have gone even further than this, and are even now agitating the question of organizing a national society, whose object shall be to arrange for the preser-, vation of the typical American mammal. The first step has been taken, the men and women who took it are in earnest, and it is safe to predict that, before the buffalo has grown his heavy coat to pro- tect him from next winters cold, his friends will have gathered around him in force, for the purpose of protecting him from the colder hand of the fate

which now threatens his existence. And when these people have once organized l believe that the preservation of the bison will no longer be one of the objects which should be accomplished" but rather one of those which must be and shall be" accomplished.
 In the meantime it is very desirable that those who are now, and who for months have been. working so hard for this cause. should be assured of the CO., operation of all who have the interest of our native animals at heart. The suc- cess of the movement would be benefi- cial to the entire nation, and therefore it should have the support of the nation. this article. just as much as that of the man in Cincinnati. or St. Louis. The preservation of the buffalo is probably dependent on governmental action in the matter, since in the hands of the govern ment alone will it be quite safe from those who are continually offering big prices for heads and hides. In other words, the matter is in the hands of the people. and my reader is one of these. Every set of resolutions that is passed. favorihg the movement: every letter addressed to me at Meriden. N. H., will help the cause of the buffalo. and will bring nearer to Us the day when this great animal will be out of danger. In the entire United States there are now. only 600-odd bufYaloes. exclusive of those confined in public parks and gardens. and which cannot be counted on to assist in the perpetuation of the race. The ma iority of these are in three herds. the Lorbin herd at Newport. N. H.: the Pab- lo-Allard herds in Montana. and the James Philips herd in South Dakota. If tuberculosis or other contagious disease were to carry off sny one of these herds, the fate of the race would probably be sealed. as even now there are none too r,any strains to allow for the necessary interchange of blood. This danger could be avoided at once if the government di- vided these herds into smaller ones and provided for their maintenance on sep arate reservations.
 While speaking on this subject with an old plainsman the other day. he re- marked:
 Well. there is no other native animal toward which Americans should have so
 kindly a feeling as for the buffalo. it has
 done more tow ard the civilization of the country than all the rest put together ! To the explorer and early settlers it was
 an unfailing supply of the best kind of ' food. and many hundred times have . thirsty tradvelers been more than grafe- i ful for the water which collected in the
 buffalo waIlows. And who shall say how
 many thousands have enjoyed the, lux [ ury of a fire on the treeless plains of the | west. when but for the constant supply of buffalo chips they would have beer ! obliged io spend the days and nights damp. cold and miserable Save the buf- | faIo7 Well. should say they ought to ' rather
