UNIQUE in Animal World.

There is nothing else like the ele-
phant. He has come down to US
through the ages, surviving the con-
ditions which killed off his earlier con-
tempories, and he now adapts him
self perfectly to more different con-
ditions than any other animal in At
rica, Carl Akeley of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History writes in the
Worlds Work.
He can eat anything that is green
or ever has been green, just so long
as there is enough of it. He can gea
his water floln The aloe plants on the
arid plains or dig a well in the sand
of a dry river with his trunk and fore
feet, and drink there, or he is equal
ly at home living half in the swamps
of better watered regions. He is at
home of the low fiat plains of the sea
coast at the equator or on the cool
slopes of Kenia and Elgon. So far
as know he suffers from no conta-
gious diseases and has no enemies ex-
cept man. There are elephants on
Kenia that have never lain down for
a hundred years. Some of the plains
elephants do rest lying down, but no
one ever saw a Kenia elephant lying
down or any evidence that they do lie
down at rest. The elephant is good
traveller. On good ground good
horse can outrun him, but on bad
ground the horse would have no
chance and there are few animals that
can cover more ground in a day than
an elephant. And in spite of his ap-
pearance he can turn with surprising
agility and move through the forest
as quietly as rabbit.

BANK CHECKS IN FRANCE.
Wider Use Would Lessen Currency
Difficulties.

Paris, January 25:-Fre.- -ch citizens
have never taken kindly to the Ameri-
can system of paying daily transac-
tions in bank checks, but if the bill
now before parliament becomes law,
French financiers believe long step
will have been taken toward solu-
ton of internal currency difficulties.
The hesitancy about adopting the
American system has been due largely
to the fact that the law does not pro-
vide serious punishment for passers
of worthless or undated checks, the
culprits merely being liable to fine
of 6 per cent. which rarely is applied.
and a penal caution, which is never
administered. Certain French Depu-
ties, however, point to the satisfactory
operation of the check system in the
United States and England and are
asking for sentences of from two to
four years at hard labor to be author
lied in cases where checks are drawn
against insufficient funds or are post
dated, without actual provision for
meeting them at maturity. A resume
of the provisions of the law is to be
printed on every check in an effort
to prevent the old plea of ignorance.
There is need for radical changes in
the French law along these lines, as
under the present system many French
banking firms, in order to guard
against cashing checks drawn against
insufficient funds, have instructed
their tellers not to accept checks that
are drawn on other organizations un-
less the check is specially certified and
the indorser has been identified.

Urges Caution AS to Tobacco

b Washington.-Wiliam A Taylor,
chief of the bureau of plant industry,
-SUgests to South Carolinians ant
Ahers concerned, that they make
aste slowly in increasing the acreage
devoted to tobacco production.
Mr.. Taylor makes his position clear
in the following note to Senator Dial,
who, in the name of a constituent,
made inquiry of the department over
which Mr.. Taylor presides:
81 have received your letter Of the
18th instant, enclosing communica-
ton from E. L. Reardon, Sumter, S.
c., relative to tobacco seed for distri-
tuition in that section. In this con-
nection it should be stated that to-
bacco seed is not included in he reg
ular congressional seed distribution,
and while small quantities can some
times be supplied to those desiring
to make experiments in tobacco cul-
9ture, we have no funds available for
the purchase of tobacco seed to be
distributed on scale large enough
for the commercial growing of to-
bacco.
"Relative to the plan of reducing
the cotton acreage by planting tobac-
co, suggested by Mr.. Reardon, it seems
desirable to call attention to the fact
that at the present time market pl.ces
for the flue cured tobacco are only a
third to forth of last years prices,
and we are informed that just
recently a meeting of representa-
Owes of tobacco growers in Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Georgia was held in Richmond for
the purpose of devising means to re-
lieve the present situation, including
consideration of a plan to curtail the
tobacco acreage by one-third.
"While undoubtedly the present
economic readjustment through which
we are now passing is partly respon-
sible for the fall in the market price
of tobacco it seems to be pretty gen.
orally considered that there is an act
ual- overproduction of flue cured to-
bacco this year. Under the circum-
stances it would seem that there is
some question as to the advisability
of increasing the tobacco acreage in
South Carolina"

Spanking for Extreme" Style

The good, old fashioned spanking
over the knee, out in the woodshed-
was suggested as a possible remedy
for the extreme styles now worn by
girls by Rev. DR.. j. Fred HeisSes, pas
tor of Union Square Methodist Epis-
copal church, who sent out question
aires to all the local clergy, asking
them what they considered were the
prevailing evils of the day and possible
remedies for them.
The extreme styles worn by women
and young girls were placed first by
Hi the clergymen with but few ex-
ceptions. Movies with slight sar
from tinget, automobiles and dance
halls were given in the order named.
Many others were given, but these
four were decided upon as the most
widely prevailing evils.-Baltimore

Results of Hybrid Mating.

Here is a strange set of facts, prov
en- by three different Investigators in
three different parts of tn world at
three different times.
In matings of so-called "pure" races
that is to say, Englishman with Eng
lish woman, Frenchman with French
woman, German with German woman
etc., 104.54 more males are born than
females.
In hybrid matings, that is to say, OF
different nationalities, there is more
significant excess Of male over female
births.
In matings of United States colored
folks there is a significant excess OF
females over the ratio Of British West
Indian colored who are relatively pure
bred.

knowing How to Save.
(From the Minneapolis Journal.)

(From the Minneapolis Journal.)
The American people, having been
on a money spending spree for some
time, are beginning to sober down
High wages have led to extravaganza
and spending.
We talk about saving for a rainy
day, but we seem to think that day is
SO far away as to need no immediate
thought. Of course it is proper to in
dulge in luxury, if one can afford it,
but it is we'll to differentiate between
luxury and an extravaganza. Doubt
less we all have our ideas as to what
is extravaganza for ourselves and quite
Indifferent ideas as to what is extrava-
4gance for others. But, generally
speaking, waste is easily defined.
Saving part Of the income ought
to be the rule Of every mans life. OF
course, this may be overdone, though
it doesn't often happen. To make a
business Of saving, profession OF
economizing, trade of thrift, is like
ly to develop a narrow nature, even
as reckless spending develops habi-
tual improvidence. Which state is the
worse?
To use good judgment in saving and
spending alike-that's the idea. Rus
kin put it in another way:
Economy no more means saving
money than it means spending mon
ey; it means administration of a
house; its stewardship; spending or
saving, whether money or time or any
thing else, to the best possible advan-
'tage."
The man whose wife spends his in
come as fast as he earns it keeps his
nose fattened on the grindstone OF
fate. The day surely will come when
his earning capacity will be gone and
no preserves will be found on the pam
try shelf. 1t is the same if the hus-
band is the spender and the wife is
the saver. The best plan is when both
follow Ruskin's idea of administra-
ton and stewardship, saving and
spending with common sense and due
attention to appropriate living.
We can all afford to save more.
Reasonable economy will develop our
characters. Today as nation we need
more than ever we did to save. Lay
something, no matter how little,
each week and you will soon discover
a new source Of happiness as you find
yourself getting ahead instead Of al
ways being behind.
