The SecOnd-Ha Book.

A week or two ago a bright and
chatty young woman called at n house
on Cass Avenue and endeavored to
make the sale of book entitled " Home
and Mother" The ladies of the house
received her in the usual ten degrees
below fashion and, utterly refusing to
look at the book, she said
g haven't any money, and l know
that my husband wouldn't pay for it."
cit is book highly spoken of by the
press"
Eyes, 1 know, but my husband is
queer"
And you see the superior style of
binding"
81 know, but my husband would call
it bosh and trash.'
Shln't l call when he is at home?"
"That would be useless. He wouldn't
even look at it, and he hates female book
agents.
" Does he?"
" Yes, he abhors them. l knew he
doesn't even treat them civilly when
they call at his office"
:. Is that SOP" unused the girl, and
when she left the house she for some
reason or other started right down town.
The lady of the house might have
forgotten the incident in five or six years
but for sort of climax When her
husband came home to dinner he
handed her u copy of ''Home and
Mother" with the remark,
Happened to see it as I passed a
secondhand book store, and. thought
perhaps you'd like it."
:. Yes-an-but, Henry, a girl was
here trying to sell me this very book
not over two hours ago"' stammered
the wife,
"Was, Ell? Well, she probably got
discouraged, sold out to the second
hand dealer, and has skipped the city.
Is dinner ready?"
Dinner was ready, but somehow the
wife had no appetite, and since that she
has fits of abstraction, glances suspi-
ciously around at times, and has been
seen going in and coming out of second
hand book stores.-DetroH Free Press.

Jelly from Ivory.

The last sale of ivory at Liverpool
was the largest which has taken place
for a long time. Manufacturers who
were present tell us that the prices real
lied show an advance of from 20s. to $685.
per cwt. All the lots were sold. There
were buyers not only from the English
towns, but from America and the con-
tinent Ivory is very largely used in the
Sheffield trades, more especially for haft-
ing cutlery of all kinds. The demand
for billiard and bagatelle balls, as well
as for piano keys, has greatly increased
of late years. One leading cutlery house
made a calculation some time ago, sug-
gested by a question put by visitor.
They estimated that to supply themselves
with the ivory they needed for the
handles of their cutlery, ETC., they re-
quired 1880 elephants every year, and
that even on the basis that each tusk
weighed 232 pounds. In magazine the
question was recently put, AWhat be-
comes Of the ivory waste?" There is no
ivory waste. In the cutting of the ivory
the powder which comes awayis sold for
making jelly. 1t has long been used
abroad, and is now getting pretty well
known in this country. 1t is sold at 4d.
per pound, made up into parcels, and is
regarded as an excellent material for
making jelly, particularly in the country,
where calves feet are not always ,procur-
able when required. Engineer,

General Gage and the Boston Boys OF
l77o.

In Butterworth's Young Folks
History of Boston, it is said that the
frog pond does not look as it did when
the British soldiers prevented the boys
from sliding and skating there, and the
delegations of young Americans waited
upon General Gage, and laid before him
the story of their wrongs.
| GAS the British soldiers did not prevent
the boys from sliding and skating on
the frog pond, it would be hard to tell
wherin its appearance has been altered;
moreover the boys did not lay the
story of their wrong before General
Gage.
At this statement there will be at once
an expression of incredulity, and our re-
ply would be substantially that there
are some errors which it is pity should
continue to be perpetrated with the sane
ton of so many distinguished names.
These are that the coast was not Cd
the Common; that it was not DESTROYED
by the British soldiers; the boys did not
call on General Gage at the Province
house; and he did not know of the mat
ter until told of it, after all was over, by
the officer on whom they did call.
This, if correct, would seem to leave
very little Of the story, and yet there is
a subtractum of truth in it, and the cor
rect story is fully as good as that which
has been so often repeated incorrectly.
Rev. DIR. Hale, who, at the dinner of
the Latin school association in 1877,
/ first pointed out the inaccuracy of the
picture, told the story as it had been
told to him thirty years before by one of
the boys.
The coast was from near the corner of
Beacon and Somerset street.. down the
hill to the foot of School Street. The
boys of the Latin school used to bring
their sleds to school, and after school
coast down the street. In house OPP
posite the school, near the present site
of the city hall, lived the British General
Haldimand. the Colonel of Cages own
regiment, His servant spread ashes on
the coast, and the boys of the Latin
school appointed committee from the
first class to see the General and COM
plain of the servant. He received them
kindly, said he had trouble enough with
the Boston men, and would not have any
with the boys and sent a servant out to
brush off the coast. Afterwards he
mentioned the visit to General Gage,
Who made in reply remark sufficiently
resembling that which he is reported to
have made to the boys to render it pos
sible that it was the foundation of the
common tale.-B0StOn Transcript.

Some years residence in the country,

which justify the National movement, on

and the bay window in his library is oc-
cupied by large number of these favo-
rite songsters, to some of which are given
the freedom of the entire room at times.
One of these is very much interested in
penmanship, and will watch DR.. Day
write by the hour. The black line left
by the pen in its travels is the greatest Of
mysteries to the bird, and he will follow
it as it spins out across the page, and
make frequent examinations, first with
one eye and then with the other, but can
never quite understand it all, and after
scratching his head with his claw he will
follow the line across again. This he will
keep up by the hour, and it would be in
teresting to know his thoughts on the
subject-if canaries ever do have
thoughts. s. 7itasvilIe (Pcna.j Herald.

THE SOLO.

gaze on the blazoned windows,
The columns ashy and cold,
The fretted groinings and arches,
The ceiling of azure and gold.
The organ shoulders and miitters
Like monster dying inlpain;
The chorus has walled its parting,
Lamenting, repenting in vain.
Then out of the sadness rises
An angel whose wings are furled:
You lift your voice in the solo,
And l fly from a stricken world.
l traverse the shining oceans
Where melody rims the skies,
And pass the islands of glory,
And the headlands of Paradise.
You bear me, care not whittier,
SO long as l hear you sing.
For toll and grief are forgotten,
And life is heavenly thing.
The music ends, and shiver,
For my soul has returned to earth,
And the silence falls like a sorrow
Which blanches the face of mirth.

one acre in public parks to every 1871
inhabitants, while Chicago has one acre
to every 252, Philadelphia one to every
282, and San Francisco one to every 1873
inhabitants has set some of our citizens
to thinking. They have formed The

pose to see New York's lack in this re-
spect rectified. We give the movement
