CUTTING UP \ HlPPoPoTAMus s.
Tough Hide Can Be Relied On to
Blunt Many sharp Knives.

To cut mp hippopotamus is no easy
task. In some places the hide Is al
most two and half inches thick. and
before you have got through hand S
breadth your knife has completely lost
its edge and requires to be resharp-
ened. The head and the feet are put
on one side TO be preserved as
trophies of the chase, while the re-
msinder of the flesh is cut into long,
thin strips which, after they have
been dried by hanging them on the
tree branches, will keep good for a
very long time. The ivory of the
teeth and tusks, which is of very fine
quality, used to be employed almost
exclusively in the manufacture Of
false teeth; nowadays 1t is turned to
all the purposes of ordinary ivory.
As for the hide. cut into strips IL is
made into sticks, which are as good
defensive weapons as one could wish
to possess, Treated with oil they be-
come as transparent as tortoise shell,
and look quite pretty. Out of hippo
potamus hide bullock drivers likewise
make throngs for their whips which
are positively everlasting. and fetch.
relatively speaking, quite good price.
