ELEPHANTS ATTACK.
One of the Inconvenience of Farming in
Central Africa.


Rev. MIR, Grantham, in charge of the
Wesleyan mission at Lomagundi. sends
particulars of raid made by herd OF
elephants, which resulted in the loss Of
Fife. says the Rhodesia Herald
He says: Il shall be glad if you will
make known through the medium of yom
paper the following incident and my
comments on it in the hope that public
sentiment may be aroused against a con.
dition of things in which many suffer for
the sake of a fad of few who share
none of the misery that their hobby in
fiictS upon others. In May last the ma
tive gardens on this farm suffered serious
damage from the incncSion of troop OF
elephants that visited US seven nights in
succession. In this respect we are not
the only sufferers, for | am constantly
hearing of the same kind of thing
throughout the neighborhood. We have
no lawful means of protecting our crops
and applications for damages are ig
nored
ION Friday morning two old natives
and picannin, who had been sleeping
IN a skerm erected in the lands, awoke e
ind that ten full grown elephants anC
three calves were within n few yards oi
where they lay. The natives fled in ter
ror, pursued by one of the beasts, which
was apparently enraged at the sight OF
human beings in such close proximity L
the calves. The picannin was just on the
point of being tusked, but saved himself
9y rushing on hands and knees through
the branches of a fallen tree The Gle
plant tossed these aside, and continued
in pursuit of the old men. One escaped
but the other was overtaken in abou
one hundred yards, and the vicious beas
transfixed him through the back, the pro
truding tusk ploughing deep into the
soil.
THE furious animal then proceeded t,
rip its victim TO pieces, splitting one les
from bullock TO calf and an arm from
shoulder to wrist. He just lived Ions
enough to urge his friend TO fly back L
the kraal or no one would be left to tel
the tale.
I'VE are told that in strict self-defens,
they may be fired upon. Are we then I,
wait until one of the brutes is in the ac
of charging upon us ere we pull a hast,
trigger, which is more likely than not t,
be our last? And what is the use of fir
ing at one angry elephant when severa
others are standing by ready TO take III
the cause of their companion if ii doe
fall?
BAants will not attack a human beini
Uaiess they are moIested by him. but the
vii; invariably do so If the herd contain
any calves. A prlce is set upon the head
of lions-beasts that rarely initiate al
attack upon human beings and who's
depredations are generally confined &
cattle kraals and spans of donkeys
Why, then, should elephants, which il
this district are much greater scourg
than lions, be protected and the killing o
one be criminal offense?

SHANGHAI GOLD FURRY.
Disaster Caused to Many Speculative Chi
namen--A Few Made Money.

Recent China coast papers tell Of ii
slump in the money market at Shang-
hai that was in a way small reflex of
the trouble of last month here. In the
Shanghai instance it was the wavering
price of gold that brought confusion to
many speculative Cinnamon and for
tunes to very few.
Shanghai has curious money system.
Rather it is the lack of all system that
makes the neutral port the center of
small financial whirlwinds almost every
time that a steamer sails away.
Being a neutral town, what Chinese
money there is circulates only in the
form of small change. Big Mexican
dollars form the basis Of all transactions
IN small sums and a somewhat mythical
tael represents the conversion of bank
notes into the money nomenclature Of all
China. Each bank issues its own notes;
there are Russian ruble notes, English
pounds and German marks.
So closely does the price Of gold gov
ern the exchange that people wanting

draw a check on their bank, knowing
not what minute their accounts there
may shrink temporarily.
1t w"s under these conditions that
some OF the Chinese money changers ia
the price IF gold. Their only stock in
trade was a notebook and a pencil.
During the days of the money trouble
here and its reflex effect on the banks Of
England and France these Chinese
money gamblers went into the street in
the coast port, buying and selling hypo-
theticai gold bars. depending upon the
scanty news kilograms Of the financial
situation that sifted around by way Of
India and the coast ports to make their
deals.
Many Of tic Cinnamon had never seen

nation or any nation; but the madness

of Shanghai we're involved in this con
version Of fairy gold into real taels OF

"He's Only a Man"

He's only a man" Not long ago
these words We're uttered in such a way
that it stirred the very depths of my
soul. L had casually remarked that as
was going to see my sister, it wouldn't
be very much out of the way and
would go to see and hear the chief ex-
ecutive of the United States.
L was visiting in a true American
home: the man who spoke thus was
born in this country, brought up in its
free schools. had become a well-to-do
farmer, and yet-there was such feel
ing of contempt, for as he seemed to
see it, that honor and respect or homage
of any kind paid to the President of
this great lard was only a bit of hollow
mOckery which was only a step back to
the days when kings ruled by divine
right.

him or go out of my own way n step.
have no desire to hear him-there are
lots of others l would rather see than
him." Then his wife said, as if to en-
phasize her husbands words, ''Id rath-
er go and see you" AS / was visiting
there l couldn't help saying: You
can see me now. One can pick ones
like the visit of a ruler to a certain sec
ton, be he governor or president, we
must abide by his time rather than by
our own"
Then the 12-year-old daughter echoed
her fathers words. He's only a man,
and | thought, yes-to some people. A
criminal is only a man, too.
| am not a hero-worshiper, but ii
seems to me that such teachings are
harmful. Certainly a man chosen by
the people of his state or country as
representative man for the position,
his official capacity, his position at least,
is entitled to some recognition that every
true American ought to respect.
Such a feeling as existed in that home
causes them TO have but the semblance
of respect for those in authority or the
kindly respect, even, which should be
paid to old age.
Hes only a man" is true, but t.
clothe that thought with utter disregard
of common courtesy is as wrong as it is
detrimental in effect.
Anything or any teaching which gives
the youth of our land perverted idea Of
the rights of others is not as 1t should be.
The elimination Of the common decen-
cies of life or the common respect to
those in high office, the ministry, the
aged, or, yes, indeed their parents, is to
be deplored.
Children brought up in such an atmos-
phere could not be blamed If they neg
lected to treat their own aged and white
haired parents with the proper regard
for respect, the true, common respect,
has not been taught them.
The disregard for law and order which
exists today the lack of reverence fos
the ministry, the contempt for those III
authority, are but the outcome of teach
ings or condition which seem to emanate
from somewhere and it seems to me that
the foregoing is one of the many causes
for this disregard for the highest attri
butes of civilization,

The Hygienic School Dinner.

The fact that thousands of school
children are Obliged TO carry their din
ners with them makes it important that
great care should be taken by the moth
er to see that the foods chosen are OF
the simplest character, that they are
tremendously selected, and that each ar
ticle is neatly packed. The sandwiches,
for example, should be wrapped in oiled
paper or else in a plain white paper
napkin.
ANY of the following recipes may be
used, a variety to be provided from day
to day:
Egg sandwiches:
Two hard boiled yolks Of eggs.
Two teaspuUnfuls cream.
One-eighth teaspO0nfuI salt.

Mix the ingredients, place between two

The Element of Permanence.

The dictionary defines home as an
abode or a dwelling. This it is, and It Is
much more Perhaps it is less difficult
to indicate what it is not than what II
IS. For instance, a home Is not a re-

place for education. Certainly it is not
merely a place for the convenience OF
eating dressing and sleeping. What does
your home mean to you! Does i not
