The ivory men, or ''bushmen" as they
are called, knowing they have the val
liable article to sell, though small in
quantity in the present case, come for
ward, and n OF them musings the
tusk he has and places it in a
spring balance. 1t is examined for
cracks, and the hollow root probed for
mud or stones, and after the weight is
got at a mouth" or offer is made TO
the native gentlemen" or brokers of
the ''cabucca, in three articles of trade
-muskets, powder, and cloth; so many
muskets, so many kegs of powder, so
many yards of cloth, according to the
weight of the tooth" and the value of
ivory. This is called the bundle, "
which is afterward divided into a great
many articles of trade, according to
fixed rules between the white traders
and the gentlemen" or brokers" and
at each exchange these gentlemen"
and ''headmen" of the factory keep
something for themselves from the
"bushmen."
The method of buying ivory is dis.
tinct from that of buying any other
kind Of produce, and is intricate, and is
supposed to be made so partly in order
TO puzzle the "bushmen" as to the real
value of the ivory they have to sell.
These "bushmen'' bring it from the
very far interior, whence they have trav-

TnE LEADER is indebted to Commits
sioner Sparks, Of the general land Office,
for a copy of his report to the secretary
Of the interior. Gen. Sparks in this re-
port seems to be inclined to believe that
the big cattle companies are not the only
sinners against the public interests in the
matter Of grabbing public lands. Between
the three acts, the pre- emption, the home
stead and timber culture laws, it is posi-
bic for any man or woman to become the
possessor OF $50 acres Of the public do
main by the actual expenditure of less
than $500. Thousands of spectators
have taken up land under these laws by
means Of agents who are not overscrupu-
lous about periuring themselves.
The result Of this loose system of land
management is the retirement Of many
thousands of acres which are being held
for high prices by spectators. A sparsely
settled country, with abundance of the
choicest lands withheld from settlement,
follows as u natural consequence. This is
a serious evil now that good lands are be-
coming scarce, and while remedial legisla-
ton on this subject at this late date will
be somewhat akin to locking the stable
after the horse is stolen, it should be en-
ployed nevertheless.
1t is doubtful if the world has even wit
nessed such criminal p~rodigality in the
distribution of lands belonging to the pub
lie as that which has characterized the
land administration Of this country. Whole
states have been given to railway com
panies. Whole counties have been fenced
in by the cattle companies. native and for
cien, and the frauds that have been car
ned on by individuals on a small scale are
simply innumerable.
II is probable that the repeal OF the
presumption, timber culture and desert
land acts is advisable. Any individual
who gets 100 acres Of land as a free gift
gets enough and there is no good reason
why he should be allowed to secure three
times that amount for a nominal sum.
The other two ranches should be reserved
for two other men who want them and
will settle and improve them instead of
simply holding them out of the market to
get big prices Tor them.

Sir John Lubbock's statements, being
the result Of his own careful and hon
est observation, are entitled to great
weight. He tested a poodle and n
colley for their capacity to read. Cards
were prepared on each Of which were
printed, in large letters, the word
food water" OF the name Of some
other article in demand among the
canine kind.
The poodle learned TO pick out the
card which bore the name of tho thing
he wanted, and he did this under condi-
tons which rendered II impossible
that there should be any mistake
about the matter But when Sir John
tried to teach the poodle to pick out
two similar cards, and place them to-
gether, he failed completely. He could
teach the dog to ask for food, drink, or
whatever else was needed, among the
articles named on these cards, but no
was entirely unable to impart any other
idea in connection with the printed
words than that OF a request for some
thing.
Even hat which the poodle was able
TO learn, the colley, one of n breed of
dogs noted for sagacity, was wholly un-
able to learn. Though the colley saw
the poodle asking for and obtaining
things which dogs like by presenting
his card" the idea Of initiating the
poodle never Cutered the ~colley's mind

Down in the basement Of the treasury
department is a room in which about a
dozen girls sit and sort over the waste
paper which has accumulated from the
work of the day before by the 2, 800
clerks in the above.
All of the waste paper of the depart
ments is transferred to this room by the
sweepers at the close of each day. Then
the girls go over it carefully, piece by
piece, and they frequently make very
valuable discoveries. Not long ago $l0,-
900 worth Of bonds were found in a
waste-basket in the Office of the comp
troller of the currency, and there was a
great howl about 1t at the time, but in
the end nobody vas punished for the
gross carelessness; but such large sums
as this seldom find their way into the
sorting room. The principal discoveries
are p~enholders and stationery which
have been accidentally dropped into the
waste baskets.
Sometimes q valuable document dis
appears in IN unaccountable manner
from the files of the department. The
rooms are ransacked, and every one
connected in the division becomes well
nigh crazy. As a last resort the waste
paper room is appealed to. In nine
chances out Of ten, if the paper has
been disposed of in that way, the girls
will find it. They have become re-
markedly expert in sorting over this
rubbish. A girl will take a mass of it in
her hands, and, in less time than it
takes to tell it, her sharp eyes will have
seen all the different pieces, and If there
is even a scrap that looks a though it
might be valuable, il is carefully laid
aside for future examination. Expe-
rience has convinced the treasury Off
cials that these girls annually ave
many times their salaries to the govern

Millions of people in grape-raising
countries, eat grapes as they ought to
be eaten, viz, without any chewing or
skinning or seeding or any nonsense
whatever. But thousands of people
have been taught-some to pinch the
pulp into the mouth, discarding the
skin; others, to dissect out both tho
seeds and skin, thus taking a great deal
Of pains to prevent the grape from being
as wholesome as il is delicious. BY far
the most agreeable aud satisfactory
way to eat grapes, once accustomed to
1t, is to bolt them about as fast as
thoy can be comfortably swallowed,
pressing the grape between the teeth
so as TO open up the pulp sufficiently to
give us all the flavor, and to lubricate
the bolus.
A little practice will enable any ono
to eat them thus, and it is then the
only wholesome, way. It is want of
bulk that makes our food indigestible
in many cases. 1t is obvious that there
is a double advantage, il this theory be
the correct one, for one pound Of grapes
would go as far" as ewo pounds eaten
the other way.

A coon many Montreal residents had
to be consigned to their graves before
either authorities or people could get a
grain OF common sense into their stupid

recently discussing their family ex-
penses, and they were up in the thou
sands. Then came the question, how
much of this was for the tablet Each
one, to make sure Of his accuracy, went
home and consulted his bills, and the
result was as follows; Per week, for
each one in the family, $1.1O, $3.50.

without regard to economy. This eN-
plains why poor men live with large
families and no unnecessary wants,
and why many spend so much who
