Elephants Teeth.

The elephant has from twenty to
twenty-three teeth to each side Of ell
Their Jaw. He cuts his milk grinders
at two weeks, the process occupying
some ten days. He is cold enough to
vote" by the time he attains his full
quota. Fully developed, each row OF
teeth appears to be one continuous
mighty tooth. Nature renews these
teeth indefinitely; as fast as one set
wears out, another grows to replace 1t.
He is purely vegetarian, the articles
of his diet being roots of growing trees.
herbs, Dubious growths, low branches
of trees, succulent, tender bushes and
tropical fruits, which by the means OF
his powerful trunk he shakes from the
trees. His regular feeding time Is
however, between nine o'clock at njgh<
and midnight, the coolest hours of a
jungle day. There is a single DAILY
time for drinking, also, being about
sunset, when a leader guides the herd
over the elephant roads" to a suit
able water hole. This practice is dis
continued during and after the rainy
season, when water is to be found
everywhere among the elephant haunts.

FEATURES OF THE cARoLlNAS
SandhilI Country Among Other SEQ
tlons of the South Now Com

The Sandhill country of the Caro-

to Maine in the summer and to FLORIDA
In the winter because these places are
advertised and known. Only IN recent
years have the other parts OF the
South come into favor.
The Carolina hills have none OF the
brilliant coloring of the tropical South,
but they have a pleasantly mild win
ter, with now and then a touch OF
snow, and climate which Is always
dry because the sands act like an
enormous blotting paper to ABSORB
every drop of moisture.
The country is one of pine-groWn
uplands and narrow valleys Where
sweet gum and holly are green all the
year around. There are thousands OF
quail and endless reaches of unfenced
upland across which your dogs may
range. Foxes are abundant and fol-
lowing the hounds Is standard sport
among both the natives and the WIS.,
itors from the North. Neither are
these latter insensible to the thrills or
that ancient Southern sport-night
hunting for coon and 'possum.
The latest sport which enterprlslng
visiting sportsmen have introduced In
the South Is canoeing. For some rea'
son this delightful adventure OF fol-
lowing woodland streams In canoe
has been confined to the North. But
during the lost few winters the first
canoes other than native dugOuts nave

Dee and other Carolina rivers. The
wanderers have found these Wilder
ness streams creeping through cypress
swamps and pine forests where tur-
keys and wild hogs abound, no less
thrilling than the waterways OF the
North.
