WILD BOARS IN ENGLAND.
Once observation-disclosures Made t
Reintroduce Them Into That Country

Once Abundant-Attempts Made to
Reintroduce Them Into That Country.
From the London Graphic.
Among the exhibits at a recent meeting
of the Geological Society was the al
most perfect skull of a wild boar which
was recently dug up during building opera
tons in James street, Oxford.
Like the beaver, the wolf, the bear and
the reindeer. the wild boar. though long
extinct in this country, was formerly very
abundant in the large forest lands which
once surrounded the site of London, and Its
remains are not infrequently unearthed in
ard around the metropolis. 1t is not GER
tain when the last wild boar was killed in
England. but it was probably In the reign
of Charles H., or soon afterward, for In the
book Of accounts kept on the Charley es-
tate Is the following entry. dated 1858
Paid the cooper for pale for We wild
swine. 30"
1t is, of course, possible that the wild
swine alluded to We're merely individuals
preserved In Charley Park and that the
boar had been exterminated as really wild
animal long before, but whether the swine
were preserved at Charley or not 1t Is GER
tain that another species of wild animal
the white cattle-found a sanctuary there
and it was not until quite recently that the
herd that descended from the original stock
preserved in the park was dispersed.
Attempts have been made to reintroduce
the wild boar into England, but they have
mad to be abandoned. partly because the
forests which they haunted In past ages
partly because the havoc these huge and
destructive beasts commit among growing
crops Is not to be tolerated by our already
oppressed agriculturists.

Absinthe Bonbons the Latest.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Look out for absinthe in bonbons," says
. large candy dealer. They are on the
market and they are loaded. 1 doubt II
any are on sale as yet in this city, but
they have been offered to US and 1 have
seen samples Of them. I have no doubt
they will soon be seen here. It's likely
that their stay will be short however for
the authorities and the temperance people
will surely be after them. Four Of the kiri
Of bonbons that were sent to US would
make a pretty stiff drink of absinthe, and
an innocent customer might get laid out
cold before he knew It. Those sent to us
were from Europe, where. l understand,
their manufacture has resulted from GER
tain restrictive legislation concerning the
sale Of alcohol"

HUNTERS MARROW ESCAPE.
Thrown by Frightened Pony and Fell
Between Elephants Feet.


From the Youths Companion.
I Toward the end of the summer of 1850
William Cotton Oswelr was on an elephant
hunt in Africa and nearly lost his life. In
his biography his own description of the
adventure is given. An elephant was close
to him. There was no time to wait IL the
hunter was to get shot. The beast was
on the move and the dust flew from his
side as the heavy ball struck him.
Screaming angriiy, he turned full front
In the direction OF the tree by which
stood motionless. For a moment we con-
fFonted one another and then the rumbling
note Of alarm uttered by his companions
decided him on joining them. regained
the path and rode along the line OF their
retreat, which, as shown by the yielding
push, was parallel to 1t. After time the
thorns thinned out and I caught sight Of
the wounded elephant holding course of
his own little to the left of his fellows:
and when he entered the tropical forest be-
yond was In his wake and very soon COM
PEELED to follow where he broke away.
"A little extra noise from the pursuers
caused the pursued to stop; and while
clinging like Gilpin to the horse and peer
ing at the broad stern of the chase, l saw
him suddenly put his head where his tail
ought to have been. The trunk was tightly
coiled. Forward tapped the huge. ears. up
went the tail and down he came like q gi-
gantic bat ten feet across.
Pinned above and on each side by dis
mounting l could hope neither to escape nor
to kill my opponent. therefore lugged my
unfortunate animal round and urged him
along. The elephant Numbered straight
through obstacles which we were obliged
to go round and in fifty yards we were fast
in thick bush and he within fifteen feet
of us.
LAS a last chance I tried to get of, but
in rolling round in my saddle my spur gall
ed the pony's flank, and the elephant
screaming over him at the same moment
he made a convulsive effort and freed HIM
self. That deposited me in a sitting posi-
ton Immediately in front of the upltfted
forefoot Of the charging bull.
$50 near was it that mechanically open
ed my knees to allow him to put 1t down,
and throwing myself back crossed my hands
upon my chest and obstinately pulled my
self out with the idea OF trying to resist
the giant tread. saw the burly brute from
chest to tail he passed directly over me
lengthways, one foot between my knees and
one fourteen inches beyond my head and
not Craze! Five tons at least.
'Out Of all my narrow escapes this Is the
only one that remained with me in recol-
lection for any time. One hears Of night
mares. Well, for month or more I had
nightelephants."

Laundryman's Clever idea.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
That the New York merchant is con-
WINGED he needs some new and original idea
to win fresh customers is demonstrated by
an uptown laundryman, who is sending rep
resentatives on house-to-house visits to as
sure possible patrons that their laundry
will be returned in boxes and not the GUS
romary bundle. This is especially directed
to please the summer girl who sends her
fancy waists to laundry and who knows
her again

health Is an ordinance requiring rubber
tires on all milk and delivery wagons.

at 2 p. m. of that day about
four miles from Stone Mountain

their military career with deep inter-
est from early in May of that year.
1 had witnessed their splendid condi-
ton at that period; had welcomed with
pride the fine body of reinforcements
under Gen. Polk: but, with disappoint-
ment, i had seen them, day after day,

lastly cross the Chattahoochee River on
the night of the 9Th Of July with one
