tanned BY KINDNESS.
The Methods of the Elephant Hunter
In the Far East.


This is how elephants are hunted in
.Ceylon: The people begin by clearing
an open space near a forest, part Of
which is strongly fenced in with trunks
of trees, with open places for doors.
Then the elephants are found and with
blazing torches, rafting of noisy In
struments and spears are driven to-
ward the open doors.
At last, with rush, the great herd
enters, the entrances are barred. and
the poor giants of the wood find them
selves hopelessly imprisoned. An ele-
plants rage is dreadful to witness but
the ingenuity of man has found Il way
Of subduing it, One by one each pris.
oner is freed again, and tame ele-
plants. remarkable for their sagacity,
come up to him. stroke him with their
trunks and otherwise cajole him until
they lead him OH to good strong tree.
The natives creep up behind. and In q
minute the elephant is made fast to the
tree by his leg,
All the time this is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded
victim, but as soon rs he Is secured
they go away and leave him. Then
the men bring him cocoanuts and
leaves to eat. which, of course. he re-
fuses, as he Is again in great passion
and struggling to be free.
But hunger subdues even the fierccst,
and at last his wild roaring ceases, and
he eats. From that time the tanning
process IS comparatively easy. Again
and again he is fed as he requires 1t,
by kind hand, and the elephant sus-
ceptible to kindness, becomes at last a
docile servant of the man.

The Snrdinians.

Sardinia was wild place in the mid
die of the last century. A traveller
says: '"The men are clothed in goat
skins. one before and another behind,
without brecches, shoes or stockings.
and wooden or skin cap on the head.
The women have no other habiliments
than long wooden gown and WOODEN
cap The peasants always go armed
to defend themselves from one another,
so that travelling in the interior is ex-
tremely unsafe without an escort, and
1t is even dangerous for ships to send
their people on shore for water unless
they are well armed. In short, the
Sardes are the Malays of the Mediter-
ranean."

PEpYS AND EVELYN.
difference In Methods of These Two
Famous Diarists,

Pepys' narrative is always dramatic
himself being the center of the play
while Evelyn Is historical, pathetic or
didactic, as the mood seizes him. Pepys
gives us the comedy OF his time. as
Plautus and Terence gave us the conn
edy of theirs. Evelyn, on the other
hand, has something of I.lvy in his
composition and not o little Of Cicero
Compare for instance, their treatment
OF the great fire, and you may measure
the distance between them. Thus it is
that Pepys' account begins; "Some of
our maids, sitting up late last night to
get things ready against our feast to-
day, Jane called us up about 3 in tho
morning TO tell us of great fire they
saw in the city. So rose and slipped
on my nightgown and went TO her win
dow" And now turn to Evelyn and
see the temper In which he views tho
destruction of the city. "The clouds
OF smoke We're dismal and reached up
on computation near fifty miles IN
length" he writes the day after the
fire. "Thus | left 1t this afternoon
burning, a resemblance of Sodom or
the last day. 1t forcibly called to my
mind that passage, Non enim hic ha-
bemus stabilem civitatem,' the ruins
resembling the picture Of Troy. Lon
don was. bet It is no more!"
Pepys sets the scene before you like
man; Evelyn reflects upon the TRACE
dy like writer. ingenious in reference
discuss which is the better method, but
it may surely be said that the world
will produce another hundred Evelyns
before II fashions fitting rival for
Pepys.-London Spectator.

ANCIENT BELLS.
Wen known to the Egyptians Before
the Jewish Exodus.

inc EXONuk.
Bells were well known to the Egyp-
tians before the time OF the Jewish eX-
odls. In the description of Aarons
sacerdotal robe mention Is made Of the
fact that upon the hem of the garment
there were bells of gold alternating
with pomegranates of blue, of purple
and of scarlet: "a golden bell and a
pomegranate, a golden bell and a pome-
granate upon the hem Of the robe
round about. And 1t shall be upon
Aaron TO minister, and his sound shall
be heard when he goeth into the holy
place before the Lord and when he
cometh out, that he die not"
Hand bells were In common use all
over the ancient world. The earliest
use of bells in churches was for the
purpose Of frightening away the evil
spirits which were believed to infest
earth and air, and the earliest curfew
was rung at nightfall to rid the neigh
borhood of the village or town and
church of demons. Most old churches
of Europe have small door on the
north side, and at certain points in the
service this door was opened and a
bell was rung to give notice to the dew

White Ants Of Africn.

Natives of the east coast Of Africa
do not object to the presence of the
great white ant colonies in their neigh
borhood. The ants exercise great fer
tiliZing power on the crops. A resi-

season l have seen the wonderful eff
fects the white ant hill produces OH the
Kafffrs' maize and corn. Whenever
there happens to he an ant hill in gar

surrounding crop. The bush country

and since the worlds beginning the

''These cliffs of Ballybunion contain
in their depths masses or iron pyrites

water eats into these masses, and OK

 Topeka, Kansas, Nov, S.--David Oyermyer, democratic candidate for attorney general today in an interview is quoted as saying that republican leaders are making an effort to count out William A. Harris. the democratic candidate for governor. Mir. overmyer said:
 T believe Mir. Harris received suf- ncient votes to elect him and that every possible effort is being made to count him out.
 Men have been counted out in Kansas before. and I have information which l believe to be reliable. that the same handy men who have manipulated baI- lots before, have been at work again in various localities in the state. Men with carpet bags full of marked tick cts left Topeka Tuesday night
 T believe, however, that the official count will show Harris's election de- spite these efforts"
 S. c. Drummer. chairman of the republican state central committee this afternoon gave out the following statement:
 nEvery telegram has been received and tabulated in public in the pres ence of the reporters for the demo- cratic as well as for the republican papers, and the doors of the republican headquarters have never been locked from the time the campaign was open ed until this time
 The lntimation on the part of some of the democratic press that some of the republican leaders were trying to make changes in the returns are de- llberate and malicious falsehoods: We have nothing to cover up, our fight ,bas been in the open; we have won and we shall see to it that no attempt is made to steal the victory from us"

 The method proposed for accom- compiiAhing this purpose Is the forma- ton of "The Southern Cotton Com pany." with an authorized capital of s100.o0o.o0o to build warehouses. buy up cotton at reasonable prices and otherwise endeavor to regulate selling so that cotton shall be traded in on basis of its intrinsic value. rather than on speculation,
 Fifteen members of the Executive Committee of the Southern Cotton As- sociatlon attended tonight's meeting They reported all the Cotton States and included for most part very prom inent planters. tentative plan for organization of the proposed buying and handling company was presented by a special committed consisting of Messrs. J. P. Allison of North Caro- lima E. D. Smith of South Carolina, g. A. Witherspoon of Mississippi. F L.. Maxwell of Louisiana and J |. c. lick ey of Texas. This charter provides for organization of a stock company with an authorized capital of $10O. 008,- z 900 and an initial capital or perhaps s10,00O, ,000.
 It is proposed that the affairs of the company shall be administered by a Board of thirty-fye directors. who shall estimate fair cotton prices and endeavor to have them maintained. The management of the concern is to erect storage warehouses and conduct buying, holding and selling
 The par value of the stock Is to be S5 per share, opening membership to small as we'll as large planters mem bers of the Southern Cotton Associa- ton and others. Should the directors believe cotton to be worth more than the Wall Street price 1t will pay such price regardless of the so-eailed mar ket value and hold the product for a rise.
 After discussing and amending In some respects the plan for organiza- ton, 1t was decided to defer final ac- tion on the project until the next meet ing of the Executive Committee to be held fin January.
