The Colonies and India furnishes some
interesting particulars respecting tie
so-called g vegetable ivory which is
now so much used as q substitute Tor
ivory. The vegetable ivory nut is the
product of a species of palm found wild
in South America and Africa. Inside
the hard shell is the white kernel. which
being softer than ivory and easily carved,
as well as readily dyed, and being less
brittle than bone, is largely used in
making buttons, etc. The unripe fruit
consists Of green shell, containing a
watery fluid, which as the nut ripens
gradually thickens until it becomes a
pulpy mass, and eventually hardens into
solid matte. The water, though bitter
to the taste, is wholesome, and often
renders Invaluable service to travellers,
who cannot otherwise obtain water to
drink. The tree on which the fruit
grows is unlike an ordinary palm, hav-
ING little or no stem and dropping down
ward, especially when the weak
branches are overweighed by the six or
seven punches of nuts, each containing
six or seven seeds, inclosed in thick
heavy shells and outer sheath, and
weighing altogether from twenty to
twenty-four pounds.

Troops Attacked by Locusts.

A detachment of Russian troops,
bound for General LaZereff's expedition
against the Turcomans, met with o
curious misadventure near the Georgian
town of Elisabethpol. At few versts
from the town the soldiers encountered
the wing of an armv of locusts reputed
to be twenty miles in length and broad
in proportion. The officer in charge did
not like to turn back, repelled by mere
insects, and, pushing on, soon became
surrounded by the locusts. These ap-
pear to have mistaken the soldiers for
trees, and swarmed by thousands around
them, crawling over their bodies,
lodging themselves inside their helmets,
penetrating their clothes and their KNAPP
sacks, filling the barrels of their rifles,
and striving to force themselves into the
unfortunate mems ears and noses" The
commander gave orders for the troops to
push on double. quick for Elisabethpol,
but the road was SO blocked with To-
Gusts that the soldiers grew fright
ened. and, after wavering a few min
utes, a regular stampede took pIace.
Led by on-eommissioned officer of
keen vision, who had observed a few
huts a short distance from the road,
the troops dashed across the fields,
Slipping about over the. crushed and
greasy bodies of the loeusts as though
they had been on icen The huts were
soon reached, and the officers rushed
inside, but the refuge proved to be Of
little value, as the premises weie al
ready in the possession of the enemy.
The peasants told the correspondent OF
the KnUkaz that for days they had
been hesieged by the vermin, the in
sects filling the wells and tainting the
water, crowding into the ovens and
spelling the bread, and preventing any
food being cooked or stored AT in
tervals the villagers issued from their
houses and made onslaughts on the To-
Gusts, killing them by thousands, and
carting them away afterward to the
fields for manure. The soldiers Were
detained prisoners by the insects for
forty-eight hours, and on their maj eh
to Elisabethpol, in the rear Of. the 10.
Gust army, they found every blade of
grass and green leaf destroyed and the
peasants reduced te heggary.

Visit to the Zulu King.

On the following evening, writes an
English correspondent, | again visited
the king, who had especially invited me
to witness a review of his troops. two
regiments of which, one of tswhite
Shields and the other of s.black
shields,n were stationed at Nonduengu.
These troops formed a large circle in the
open central space of the kraal. while the
king walked, or rather trotted, about as
well as he was able, within the circle.
closely followed by his shield-bearer and
other attendants carrying his snuff and
his beer. The shouts that arose from his
assembled warriors became deafening as
the king, calling upon one or other of his
more distinguished soldiers by name,
and pointing toward him, summoned
him TO perform his feats of agility.
Every arm was extended and every
finger pointed toward the man thus hon
ored, who leaped from his place in the
ranks, and commenced running, jump
ing, springing high into the air. kicking
his shield, fourishing his weapons and
performing the. Most extraordinary man
euvers imaginable. All this time the
: lmbOngas,o or praisers, recounted the
deeds of the king amid the shouts of the
multitude After his majesty was tired
of moving about-for his extreme obesity
rendered it no easy matter-his chair of
state was brought to him, in which he
sat and regaled himself with a copious
draught of outchualia,n or beer made
Of fermented nillet, often taking pinehes
of snuff 6a
Then every soldier passed in single file
before the king, each one bowing to the
dust, and lowering his shield as he passed
the august presence. This ended the re-
view, and the king was borne back to his
harem amidst the shouts and din of the
multitude. Nothing can be imagined
more truly savage, yet picturesque
withal,. than the appearance of these
Zulu soldiers when arrayed for battle.
With kits formed Of the tails Of the
leopard and other wild animals, their
heads adorned with the plumes of the
crane and the ostrich, with long stream
ers of goats hair attached to their arms
and legs, and holding in front their huge
bucklers of hide, which almost cover
their bodies, and above which protrude
the bristling points of their well-sharp-
ened assegais, they present a most strik-
ing aspect, and one not easily forgotten.
The costume of the king consisted of a
copious kilt formed Of leopard's tails and
the skins of the green monkey. On his
forehead he wore large ball Of closely
cut feathers of the blue roller, and round
his neck hung a quantity of very large
white beads His arms were nearly COW
cred with bracelets Of brass and gold,
while tillets of beads encircled his body
and his legs. In aspect he was dignifed,
and his skin was of a lighter color than
that of most Zulus.

How a Great Silver Mine Was Found.

Two miners sat down in the wilder
ness of Southern Utah few months
since to munich their bread and then
pursue their wanderings and their search
for wealth. They were 'prospectors
who, having left the beaten track of
treasure seekers, wandered off, to the
amusement of their fellows, into the
paratiyely level country, where
months of searching had revealed moth
ing.

mountain country, Jim," said his
"pard."
AS he spoke his tool truck something
few inches under the sand and the
prospector found fracture on the rocks
and picked up a small, yellowish piece

SIS, 900. Mr.. Morgan sought the advice
of the superintendent of the Ontario
mine Together they carefully examined
the new (" find, - and unfortunately Tor
the genial Ben they decided it was not
worth risking the money on. The
miners continued to open their veins,
but soon again were stranded, when one
of them wrote to two Irish friends. who
had already lost money on supposed
'stinds,m and besought them to try their
luck once more. After much Emporium
ing they invested enough money to give
the miners a good start, when the de-
velopment of the mine proceeded rap
idly. Four shafts were sunk and num-
Der of intermediate galleries run which
connected the shafts. The work was
pushed solely with view to show the
magnitude of the deposit. 1t was the
marvel Of the whole country. Conserv-
ative old engineers measured the ore
bodies actually in sight, taking nothing
for granted, and made numerous analy-
ses in all parts Of the mine to determine
its richness, and the most cautious cal
culated the silver in sight as worth S27,

prize, secured an option of Il one-haH
interest for 50, 500, 600 for a short time,
and fastening Eastward lie induced
number of Englishmen in New York to
invest, and they took it at this price. the

remaining half at any price. This is the

Early Morning Market Scenes In New
York. MM

Although vast retail business is done
in Washington and Fulton Markets, says
New York correspondent, not one
householder in thousand goes there for
supplies. The householders buy of the
green-grocers and butchers who keep
stores convenient to. dwellings. The
green grocers and butchers come down
town for their supplies. But there is,
especially at this season of the year, an
immense market business done in the
downtown streets. This is compare
lively unknown business, except to those
who carry it on, and many people have
never even suspected its existence. 1t is
entirely vegetable market and is well
worth looking at as a curiosity.
A visitor who wants to explore its
mysteries should come here at five
O'Clock in the morning. Landing at
Liberty or Cortlandt street a few steps
will bring him into the midst of its ac-
tivity. Many hurrying stranger, who
has been rushing for a midnight train
out Of the city, has wondered why long
and solemn rows of covered wagons,
with sleepy-looking horses, are then
standing along some of the streets
through which he passes. He would
ask, had he time to stop and think about

Then there was such an explanation
to be gone through that at ten o'clock
that night they had only got as far as
their unfortunate parting. And this
seemed to remind Dion of something,
for he said: sOh. Margery darling, /

story. / have worked very hard, and
all that. but / am still in debt"
"No, you are not. have something
to tell you, also. Aunt Haywood left
you all her money provided you claimed
it within FIVE years after her death; if
not, it was to be mine"
g 1t will still be yours, Margery."
"No, / do not want both you and the
money; l have enough of my own"
"Then / shall get out of debt at last" :"
"No, you will not, sir You owe me
the price of three years of my life. You
will never be out of my debt, and you
will never be out of my love.'' M

Rules of Health.

Nothing is so essential to health at this
season of the year as a proper observance
of sanitary rules. The following sugges-
tons in this line will be valuable:
Drainage-A thoroughly drained soil
is all important. Sewers should be prop
erly located and frequently examined, so
as to insure cleanliness and effectiveness.
Houses. cellars and yards should be
cleaned.
Water supply" Water, next to air,
is the chief necessary of life" We may
even place it before food, because all food
is largely composed it. Cisterns should
be constructed Of suitable material its
water ought to be frequently examined
and kept free from color, odor and other
indications of impurity. Wells are the
most dangerous sources of water supply.
for few wells are free from surface pollu-
tion. They should be properly located,
to avoid all possible risk of contamina-
ton from their surroundings, carefully
built with elevated curbs and covered
tops. The water they contain should be
examined at short intervals. A simple
method of examination is by dissolving
a lump of loaf sugar in quantity of sus-
pected water in a clean bottle, which
should have close-fitting glass stopper.
Set the bottle in a window of room
where the sunlight will fall upon it. If
the water remains bright and limpid
after weeks exposure, it may be pro-
nounccd fit for use. But if it becomes
turbid during the week it contains enough
impurities to be unhealthy Such water
should not be used for drinking purposes
until it has been boiled and filtered.
Dwellings-The prime condition of
health in house depends upon cleanli-
ness, pure air and unpolfuted water.
Good ventilation is absolutely necessary.
Rooms should be frequently aired and a
daily visit from DR.. Sunshine encouraged.
Overcrowdins is fruitful source Of Hir-
| pollution in dwellings.

MakIng Them Eat Their Own Flour.

Relating his Indian experiences, Colo
mel Meadows Taylor tells of his being
beset by hundreds of pilgrims and tray-
elers, crying out against the bunnias OF
four-sellers, who not only gave their
customers short weight, but adulterated
the flour so abominably with sand, that
cakes made of it were utterly uneatable.
The colonel determined to punish the
cheats; and this is how he did it.
l told, says he, some reliable man
ofmy escort to go quietly.into the bazaars

They saw that 1 was in earnest and

8 Not so," l returned; you have
made many eat your flour; why should
you object TO eat it yourselves?n
They were horribly frightened; and
amid the screams of laughter and jeers
ofthe bystanders some Of them actually
began to eat, sputtering out the half
moistened flour, which could be heard
crunching between their teeth. At last
some of them flung themselves on their
faces, abjectly beseeching pardon; and
SO, with severe admonition, they were
let off. No more was heard of the bad
