"Mere, Kv-i, child, another cup of codec!" \s his daughter received the empty cup, he noticed something of an expression of sadness on her usually hright face, and his conscience reproached him as being tho cause of it. Since Ih death of his wife', whom ho had tenderly loved, his daughter had iiecn demvr to him than anything on earth, and lie did not like to see her looking unhappy.

"It is only the second meeting of our little croquet club ?Jill that we can find to amuse us iu this dull country neighborhood. And, of course, you can't blame him for coining with the rest." Kva's soft, dark eyes had tilled with tears. "Papa," idle said, with it little tremor in her voice, "why do you object to Mr. Uivcrton? Everybody likes him but you." The squire hesitated a full half minute, as lie make a pretense of carofully buttering his egg. "1 hnve nothing against the voting man's character," ho said nt length, still more impatiently, "but I don't like him personally?that is, his ways. I wish to hear and see no more of hint if possible. I object decidedly, Eva, to your accepting the attention which h?' has rem ntly been paying yon, and J must n quest you, Matilda, not to encourage his visits here."

For this reason T object to Mr. Jack Rivcrerton courting my daughter." That ovening, in tho quiet twilight interval between tea and croquet, Eva took occasion to convey to Mr. Riverton a warning hint of what her father expected of them in the future. Jack knew?as did most of the squire's acquaintances?that despite a "good heart at bottom," the old goutlenian was apt to take up absurd and unreasonable prejudices, and to stick to them with tenacious obstinacy ? especially when he found himself opposed. But on this occasion tl?o youn man's spirit roso in high rebellion, ami it took all Eva's inflnenco to pacify him. "No, Jack," she said, with a gentle firmness, in reply to his excited remarks, "you must not speak to papa nt present. It would only make matters worse while he is in this mood. Wc can do nothing but wait and see if in time he won't yield to more reasonable impressions." "In time!" repeated Jack, impatiently. "Why, Evic, he don't change lib views on any subject within live years' time." "Well." she said, with a sigh, "J suppose we nlinll have to wait, even it it is as loug us that." One day tho squire, returning from his moruiug ride, found his daughter and his sister seated in the pleasant little sitting-room opening upon the garden. Eva's white lingers were deftly fashioning some rose-colored ribbons into dainty knots and loops. "What are those for?" her father inquired, as lie seated himself in his own big arm-chair and unfolded liis paper while glancing ndmiringly ntthe silken i tnfT. "To wear at the lawn party this evening, pupa. And you will go with ns, of course?" "A lawn party? Ah, I had forgotten ! Well, whero is it to bo?nt the Lyons' ?" "At tho River tons'," Miss Maddox said. Ho scowled as ho roughly shook out his paper. "I don't wish to interfere with your pleasures or enjoyments, Eva," he said, "hut I would rather that you should not go to this party at the Rivertons'." Slio knew that when her father ex pressed a wish, it was intended as n command, and ber bands dropped listlessly into ber lap, crushing the crisp ribbons. Tears forced themselves between the long lashes, and alio presently roso and quietly left the room. Then Miss Maddock looked tip from her own work, and thero was something unusual in her expression. "Archibald," she said, gravely, "I have something to say to you. 1 would warn you not to carry this matter too far, nor to be too hard upon Eva and Jack River ton, lest you drive her into open disobodience and even an elopement." "An elopement!" His sister took from the little workbox which Eva had left on the table n folded letter. "I found this here, just where you soe that slio keeps it. Porhaps 1 ought not to have read it, Boeing that it is a lovo letter ; but, under the circumstances, I consider it my duty to let you know the contents. Will you road it, or shall I do so?" The squire replied with a sort ol inarticulate grunt, which his sister interpreted in her own way, and accordingly commenced reading, aloud: " 'My own precious angel, Eva?' " "Rah !" said tlio squire, with an expression of unutternhlo disgust. " 'since a cruel and relentless fate at presold forbids our meeting, I can lait take this unsatisfactory method of communicating with yon, aud telling you, my own doaresi darling, of how unspeakably nnd unuttorablj dear you are to me.

"It in ono which you wrote over twenty years ago to the woman whom you loved and married?Eva Chosney. Your found it a few days age among somo old lotters and papers in tho attic closet."

THE PERILS OP ELEPHANT SHOOT* INO IN SOUTH AFRICA. Laws for the Protection of Elephants ?The Heaviest Tusk in the World nt the Fair* THE heaviest elephant tusk in tho world, so far as known, is at the Worlds Fair in the Cape Colony exhibit. It is scvon and a half feet long and weighs 158 pounds. At tho thickest part it is about six inches through. The mate to it, which is a little lighter, is in tho museum nt Cape Town. There is nn elephant tusk larger than this, belonging to the King of Sinm, but it is not so heavy. The elephant who carried these monstrous tusks ? more than 800 pounds of ivory, or twice tho weight of nu average man?was killed in the Zambesi country, South Africa, some years ago. He was about fourteen feet high and was a genuine king of the forest who would have dwarfed Jumbo himself. Elephant hunting is the first of all sports with the gun, but tho slaughter of these great animals has been so prodigious since the Arabs and other traders have sold breach-loading rillcs to the tribes throughout Africa, that many fear their speedy extermination. However, Robert Lee, who is oue of the men in charge of the Cape Colony exhibit, and who lias traveled much in the elephant country, thinks that the urrcat boast will hold on for inanv u-eii erntions yot. Africa in ho vast, many regions are ho difficult of uceess, and tho elephant is ho tenacious of life, he says, that man cannot kill all hia tribo as he lias slaughtered the bull'alo in America. "Elephant hunting in extremely dangerous,'' said Mr. Lee. "I know of no other sport in which the hunter is so liable to becomo tho hunted. I am not a sportsman myself, and I have never tried to kill an elephant, but I was once with others who thought tboy would accomplish such a feat. "In 1887 I accompanied Colonel Carriugton's expedition into the country north of the Transvaal. While riding along through an open# country we saw a herd of elephants. T think there were about twenty of them. We came close enough for a shot. The Colonel called for his elephant gun and blazed away at the elephants. Instantly the whole herd darted toward us, trumpeting fiercely and really presenting a moat terrifying appearance. Nono of us paused for another Hhot, but turned our horses and galloped away as fast as we could, the elephants in full chase. So far as we knew, the Colonel's bullet had missed entirely. "My horse was not an especially good one, and I brought up tho rear of that living column. An elephant, despite his awkward appearance, can run very fast, and I began to think of my sins. My horse stepped into a hole, stumbled, fell and threw me over his head. I wasn't much hurt, and I jumped to my feet instantly and seized tho horse's reins. The animal wasn't innoh hurt, either, and 1 got him to his feet and was on his back and oil again in about fifteen seconds, I think. I don't know how close tho elephants were to mn when T fell, for T never looked buck, I overtook the rest of the party, and when we stopped tho elephants were to be seen no longer. People who are fond of a chase with plenty of danger in it should hunt tho elephant. I don't care for it myself." Mr. Lee says he has seen many herds of elephants along the Zambesi River, and they are still moro plentiful further north. Though Cape Colony has been settled about as long as the United {States, there aro still somo elopliauts in a portion of its mountainous rogion, known as tho Knysai country. They are supposed to be about live hundred in number, and protected by tlio Government. Elephants aro said to grow larger south of the Zambesi than north of it. There aro considerable herds in the country of Knhmn, King of tho Bowlongs. This man is the most advanced at all tho South African kings or chiefs. He has provided a set of gamo j laws for his country, and they are rigidly enforced. Hence in the largo territory over which ho rules the elephants are increasing in numbers rather than diminishing. Khama, naturally a man of good disposition, is largely under the influence of a Presbyterian missionary, a Scotchman, and a very enlightened and a humane man. "I know Khama very well," said Mr. Lee, "as I accompanied one of the expeditions of the English into his country. He is a remarkablo man in appearance, ns well as in character, lie is at least six feet four inches tall, and enormously fat. He received us kindly and asked us many questions. He was greatly pleased with our clothes, and discarded liis African attire. in favor of a suit like ours." The Homo. The homo is the most ideal of creations. It lias its pattern on the mount only beheld by eyes that are clarified from caprice and wilful indulgence of the factious spirit. Nor arc its blessings won simply by good things and good fortune, popularity and smooth siding. They are more often won by the holy experience of sorrow, loss and chastening that has sanctified a common, united life and made it blessed even t<1 endure together. Some people's lives will be sunny, whatever betides. They are often mothers with small means, whose memory in their children's hearts makes sacred all the poor chances of their laborious lives.

The necessities of war have requsntly led to valaable of a practical scientific character. Of late the French Minister of War has been studying the subject of ice from the point of view of its capacity to maintain weights. He has found that when ice has become about an inoh and three-fifths thick, it begin* to bear the weight of a man who ig | marching alone. At a thickness of * , something ovor three and one-half | inches it will bear files of infantry. ? ; Wlion it has become twolvo centi- I meters, or nearly four and throe- j , quarter inches thick, it sustains light I artillery or carriages, and at twenty, nine centimeters, or about olovcp.and A , four-tenths inches, it bears tho neavi- v t est weight that tho transporting of ad . ( army requires. Theso conclusions of , tho French military authorities may ( havo soino interest for skators, but it should bo remarked that they apply , only to young ice. Successions of , colder aud warmer weather, in the I courso of a fow weeks, produce a , change in tho structure of ice which j greatly weakens its power of resistance i j to pressure.
