1t is asserted that the largest ivory
factory in the world is at Centerbrook,
Conn, where sometimes 1926, 900 worth
of ivory is bleaching.
There are 25, 1884 manufactures In
the United States, the average number
of hands employed being 1888, $50, and
the money paid per annum in wages
about 180,000,0O0 sterling. The num-

An idea of the increase of real estate
in New York City may be had from the
statement that two buildings recently
torn down at the corner of Broadway

year the rent for the two buildings was

cases of salmon, 100000 bushels of
wheat, 100000 bushels of oats, 100,-
900 bushels of potatoes, and $500, 600
pounds of wool. In cargoes of 1900
tons, this quantity of produce will load
900 large ships, or three every day in

A Cruel Revenge.

Some time ago an old squatter board
ed a railway train for the first time, and
was naturally very solicitous concern
ing the distance he had to travel and
what time he would reach his station.
The conductor was very curt in his re-
ply to the old fellows questions.
"Wall, about what hour by sun does
your contraption git thar?"
a don't know"
"You know whar the place is, don't
your
u suppose So"
wall, can't you give me some sort
er idee about the-go on, thenr' he con-
tinued, as the conductor left him.
Several weeks after the conductor,
together with several railway contem-
poraries, went out to the mountains on
a fishing excursion. Losing their way,
they stopped to. inquire the road to
Blue Creek. The farmer net them at
the gate, and after satisfied shake of
the head. as though long looked-for
opportunity had come, he invited the
sportsmen TO get out of the wagon.
I'VE haven't got time, said the
conductor. 1--WE merely wanted to
learn the nearest way to Blue Creek.
San you give us the ulIecllonT
''Oh, yes. I've been Twin here for

Truth as the Foundation OF Manhood.

You want to know, Tom, what is the
first quality of MANHOOD Well, listen.
| am going to tell you in one little word
of five letters. And l am going to write
that word in very loud letters as though
you were deaf, so that you may never
forget it. That word is TRUTH"
Now then, remember, truth is the only
foundation on which can be erected a
manhood that is worthy of being so
called. Now mark what / say, truth
must be the foundation on which the
whole character is to be erected, for
otherwise, no matter how beautiful the
upper stories may be, and no matter of
how good material they may be built,
the edifice the character, the manhood,
will be but a sham which offers no sure
refuge and protection to those who seek
it, for it will tumble down when trial
comes. Alas, my boy, the world is very
full of such shams of manhood in every
profession and occupation. There are
lawyers in this town who know that they
have never had any training to fit them
for their work, who yet impose upon the
peop.e and take their money for giving
them advice which they know they are
untitled to give. | heard of one lately
VINO duNlSeu HIS partner never W HdNo
anything to do with law books, for they
would confuse his mind" There are
ignorant physicians who know that they
are ignorant, and who can and do inn
pose upon people more ignorant than
themselves. There are preachers with
out number pretending TO know what
they have never learned. Don't you
see that their manhood is at best but n
beautiful deceit? Now want you to
be a man, and that you may be that, l
want you first and foremost to be true,
thoroughly true. l hope you would
scorn to tell lie, but that is only the
beginning of truthfulness. Iwant you
to despise all sham, all pretense, all
effort to seem to be otherwise than you
are. When we have laid that founda-
ton then we can go on to build up a
manhood, glorious and godlike, after the
perfect image of Him, the perfect Man,
who said that He was born that He might
bear witness to the TRUTH Bishop Ditd-

White Muslin Dresses.

For simple white dresses for morning
wear in the summer plain French Main
sock and Victoria lawn are used, with
embroidery for trimming. The plain
est styles are seen on many of these,
with the apron over-skirt very deep, or
else front of ten box plaits that are
easily laundried, and the embroidery
has the effective polka dots and scallops
that are found to wear well. A single
wide breadth of the muslin forms the
back drapery, and is edged all around
with the embroidery. To drape this so
that it can be undone when laundried,
buttons and loops are used on each side,
and once in the middle of the breadth.
Two gathered dotted frills, or else only
one with a plated muslin frill, make
pretty footing. The basque may be
round on the hips or with square plated
back and pointed front, with the seal
loped frill outlining vest, and forming
standing frill around the neck, or
shaped into Byron collar. The ten
box plaits down the front and side
breadths hang loose from the foundation
skirt, and are each two and half inches
wide, with the edging across them
where they fall on the frills. Another

in fan shape, edged with open Hamburg
work in block designs. These fans
have nine plaits on each side, meeting
in the middle; long narrow panels on
the side trimmed all around with the
embroidery lap forward on these fans;
instead of looped back drapery
this has the muslin in puffs
falling on two embroidered founces
at the foot For round basques a row
of insertion is let in around the entire
outline. and scalloped ruffle is then
added. The double ruffle or the plain
cuff of embroidery turned back is pre-
ferred for sleeves. For those who like
puffs at the arm-hole they are now cut to
stand very high, and the stirring is put
below the puff instead of above it, and
shapes it closely to the arm. For light
mourning OF for elderly ladies rows of
the insertion that is known as revering
are placed in the plated flounces that
are used for trimming, and also in the
basque and above the hem of the apron
over-skirt. The dressiest white mnslins
are those with the imported embroidered
tiounces, which are sometimes deep
enough for one to suffice for the whole
skirt, while others have two hounces,
and still others have several narrow
founces. If the muslin is bought sep
arate from the founces, that with large
embroidered sprigs is chosen, or with
single detached flowers like daisies and
roses. The Partisan white dresses are
of the sheerest null or nainsook, made
up in most simple fashions, but elab-
orately trimmed with the imitation
Valenciennes laces that are now madC
in new designs that have feathery
edges and small sprays that do not
cover the meshes. White ottoman
repped ribbons are made into large
bows for the corsage, sleeves, sides o.
skirt, and the tournure of such dresses
The new red and blue shades are also
used in satin and in velvet ribbons. =
