SWindling Farmers.
Total.

The reports of farmers being sWindled by
travelling sharpers are less numerous than
they were a few years ago. Farmers are not
as anxious as they were of becoming agents
for the sale of useless implements or to pur-
chase patent rights They are more careful
about signing orders for ightning-rods and ad-
vancing money for goods to be delivered in the
future. In brief they are becoming more in
teIligent in all business matters. Cases of
swindling are occasionally reported, but when
they are it is evident that the sharpers have
been obliged to resort to some new dodge in
order to insure success. A new sWindle, ac-
cording to local reports, has been perpetrated
in several places in Iowa during the past
month. 1t requires two persons to manage it
successfully, They watch the papers for no
tees of estrays. One goes to look at horse
COW, and soon decides that it is not
the one he has lost During his visit he care
fully notices the size, color and peculiar
marks on the animal, and forms pretty ac-
curate opinion in regard to its weight and age.
He reports all these matters to his partner"
who. in few days, pays a visit to the farm
where the animal was taken up. He is able to
give so fun and accurate description of the
lost animal that the person in whose pos
session it is has no reluctance in Offering to
give it up. The pretended owner, however,
finds it inconvenient to take it home, and Of
fers to sell il at low price. The farmer ac-
eepts the proposition TO sell, and pays over
the money. In the course OF a few days the
rightful owner comes along and claims the
animal and produces evidence that it is his.
tained, and of course, the buyer is out the
money ne has pafd.-Chicag0 Times.

An Ivory Famine Feared.

1T is not unlikely that ivory will soon
become so scarce that its use in the
shape of pianoforte keys, knife-handles
and fans will be reserved for the affiu-
ent The rapid advances in the value
of ivory are causing some uneasiness in
the market. At the last quarterly sale,
which closed on the 26th ult., there
were only eighty-one tons offered-in-
Guiding ten tons Withdrawn from pre-
viOus auctions-as against 122 tons Of
fered in April, 1881. The falling off was
mainly owing to the continued scarcity
of cape-only one and half tons-and
the limited supply of west coast African
eleven tons. From Zanzibar and Bonn
bay there were thirty-three tons, twen-
ty-four tons from Alexandria, and nine
tons from Malta. All descriptions, ex-
cept for billiard-ball purposes, have
gone up from E3 to "a per hundred
weight and the. ivory cutters have re-
solved for the second time this year to
raise their prices. The stores in the
docks this year amount to 133 tons,
compared with the 213 tons for the
corresponding period of last year Mr..
w. Wostenholm, Sheffield. has just had
invoiced to him no fewer than 522 tusks,
which, he SAYS, will all be cleared out
in a fortnight These tusks represent
276 elephants, and if one ivory cutter
alone can get through with 50 many IN
so short time there is some fear Of the
elephant being relegated to the lost
species Of animals. London Engineer.
