THE BAD AND WORTHLESS

Are never initiated or c~ottntertetted.
This Is especially true of a family
medicine, and 1t is positive proof that
the remedy initiated is of the highest
value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that
Hop Bitters was the purest, best and
most valuable family medicine on
earth, many limitations sprung up and
began to steal the notices In which
the press and people of the country
had expressed the merits of II. B.,
and In every way trying to induce suf.
fering invslids 70 use their stuff In
stead, expecting to make money on
the credit and good name of II. b.
Many others started nostrums put up
In similar style to Ii. B., with varl-
ously devised names In which the
word chop" OF Chops" were used In
away to induce people to believe they
were the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures, no
matter what their style or name is,
and ESPECIALLY those with the word
"Hop"o or "Hops" In their name or In
any way connected with them or their
name, are limitations Or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none of
them. Use nothing but genuine Hop
Bitters, with a bunch or cluster OF
green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers
are warned against dealing In imita.
lions or counterfeits.

anything they can lay hands on, from

Mrs. Grant gave a fashionable re.

and there.is more OF q household and.
Tar less OIL IN official air about thssss
surroundings. Hence they are living
to q degree In the past, and the various
presents form . good topic when con-

Grant Ia a domestic sort of q man now,
and he loves to alt in his library of

bestow o thought on the haft. In his
eyes it is only a knife handle and he
does not allow Its antecsdants to In.
terfere with his appetite. But through
what an experience this bit of ivory,
so smooth and shining, has rasssd!
It once formed part of an elephants
tusk and was probably dug out OF the
desert or found In some dense African
forest, while the jackals or the vul.
lures were feasting on the animals
carcass. II was most likely carried
hundred of miles over O trackless
country and territory peopied by hos.
tile tribes ready to shed blood for its
possession. Like fame, ivory la fire..
quently very dificult to get, and when,
by the exercise of strength, endur-
ance, watchfulness and cunning, tho
dusky natives have brought 1t to the
shore, they deserve a substantial price
for the precious load that has fatigued
their limbs and made their shoulders
ache. A tusk sold last week ct Liver.
pool weighed not less than l40 pounds,
and IT can scsr,ely be said that the
Africans yoke is easy and his burden
light when he has to toll along, In
tropical heat, with On elephants tooth
In his grasp.
Bat the obstacles to be overcome In
getting the ivory to q civilized region
are not entirely responsible for the
present high prices in the English
market. The elephant is defunot In
Egypt and tusks r only obtainable
there by dredging in the sand; but the

extinct in Africa and India, and would
possibly yield an abundance of ivory

come, indeed, that one doubts
whether Solomon, with all his wealth,
would have v~entured, had he lived In
these days, to make "a throne of
ivory overlaid with the best gold"
At the Liverpool sale last week
81, 200 q ton was the sum obtained for
tusks from Angola and Gaboon, and
Niger ivory IL almost as dear. In
three years the price has actually
doubled. In 1879 1t was possible for
brokers to buy at 9600 per ton, and
since then nearly all kinds of Ivory
have risen at least 100 per cent. In
value. Stocks are now very low In
the ivory warehouses throughout the
country, and the fifty tons offered In
the Liverpool market were eagerly
purchased, only bangles and balls going
