Ivory,

substance, obtained from the trunks
of tho elephant, the narwhal, the wal
rus, and the hippopotamus, and also
from the teeth of some animals. The
best and largest supply is, however,
from the elephant.
The male elephant when full grown
has two tusks, varying considerably
in size in different animals, but most
valued when they are large, straight,
and light in color. These trunks are
hollow at their insertion into the jaw,
and for a considerable space there.

towards the extremity. The princi-
pal sources whence trunks are obtain
ed, are the western coast of Africa
and Hindostan but the African tusxs
are most esteemed, as being denser in
texture, and less liable to turn yellow.
By an analysis, the African show q

Of 1Ol parts to 100; while in the In

weight of the tusks at nine pounds, we

The tusks OF the hippopotamus af-

These are usually short and much
curved, hollow at the place of inser-
tion, and covered with glossy en-
amel, and vary in weight from three
pounds to thirty.
Great economy is used in cutting
up the tusks, so that the only waste
may be that which arises from the
passage of a thin saw between the
several pieces into which it is divided
and even here 1t can hardly be termed
waste, for the clean saw-dust of the

and least Of all can she tolerate man
with a soiled shirt front One day
Mr.. Brooks invited Henry Clay Dean
(better known as "dirty shirt" Dean)
homo to dinner. Mrs. Brooks was
shocked at his filthy appearance, and
privately assured her husband that
she could not eat with man in such
shirt. Mr.. B. told her Dean was a
great man, prominent politician and
particular friend of his, but to nc
purpose that dirty shirt overshadow
ed all his virtues. AT length a com,
promise was agreed upon. Brooks
was to invite Dean to the bathroom
induce him TO astonish his person with
soap and water, and have one of hiI
(Brooks) shirts ready for him wher
he came out of the tub, Dean submit
ted with bad grace, dipped himself
briefly and donned Brooks shirt
Immediately after dinner Mrs. Brooks
went to the bathroom, lifted Dean.
cast off shirt with broomstick anc
carefully pitched it out at the window
Four years later Dean came again
and was required to go through the
same process. On going to the bath
room Mrs. Brooks was Mortified tc
find that the shirt Dean had taken of
this time was the same he had put or
at her house four years before, and still
bore the name "Brooks" in indclible
ink.
