Phthisic VS.. Love.

There appeared recently in the
London Telegraph paragraph about
lock Of hair found in the center of an
oak, placed there, the writer thought,
by a "too secretive lover" Mrs. A. B.
Tomlinson, of Knox, Penn, does not
accept that explanation. "In olden
times" she writes, "there was a super
stitious belief (and some believe in it
at the present time) that certain dis
eases could be cured by the following
method: Place the patient with her
back toward and close to an oak tree.
Lay an auger on top of her head with
the point toward the tree. Then bore
hole deep into the tree, remove the
auger and cut off the lock of hair
directly beneath it. Wrap the lock of
hair in verse taken from the Bible.
Then take a wooden plug, place the
hair and verse at the end of it, and,
while muttering something akin to 4
do this in the name of the Father, Son
and Holy Ghost, drive it far into the
heart of the tree. have girl work
ing for me at the present time who is
quite positive that she had the phthisic
cured in that way, and l suppose some
time in the future her lock of hair,
always red, will be discovered in the
heart of an oak, and there will be
another article in paper about
another too secretive lover when if
they could only know that phthisic
was the cause of its being there how
unromantic it would sound"

Knife Handles.

An ivory-hafted knife to the ordina-
ry diner-out. says London paper, is
simply piece of table cutlery, useful
at meals, but devoid of all romance.
He wonders not at the ingenuity that
made the steel and fashioned the blade
with its keenly-cutting edge. In his
eyes it is only a knife-handle and he
does not allow its aniecedents to inter
fere with his appetite. But through
what an experience this bit of ivory
SO smooth and shining, has passed. 1t
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 vultures
were feeding on the animals carcass.
1t was most likely carried hundreds of
miles over a trackless country and
territory peopled by hostile tribes
ready to shed blood for its possession.
Like fame, ivory is frequently very
difficult to get, and when, by the exer-
else of strength, endurance, watchful-
ness and cunning, the dusky natives
have brought it to the shore, they
deserve substantial price for the
precious load that has fatigued their
limbs and made choir shoulders ache.
A tusk sold one week at Liverpool
weighed not less than $40 pounds, and
it can scarcely be said that the Afri-
fln's yoke is easy and his burden
light when he has to toll along, in
tropical heat, with an elephants tooth
in his grasp.
But the obstacles to be overcome in
getting the ivory to civilized region
are not entirely responsible for the
present high prices in the English
market. The elephant is defunct in
Egypt, and tusks are only obtainable
there by dredging in the sand; but the
ieyiathan of tie woods is by no means
extinct in Africa and India, and would
possibly yield an abundance of ivory if
the demand only grew as slowly as his
teeth.
