An extensive industry has arisen in France
to supply an artificial substitute for natural
ivory in view of the growing insufliciency Of
the latter to meet the demands of art and
industry. The majority of the products
formerly employed were obtained by in ject-
ing whitewash with chloride of lime under
strong pressure. At the Amsterdam Exhi-
bition, however, almost all the products mad
been prepared with the bones of sheep and
waste pieces OF deer and kid skins The
bones are for this purpose macerated and
bleached for two weeks in chloride of lime.

NJ. Louvier, an architect OF Lyons, refers
favorably TO the extensive use of clinkers
for foundation work in that city and neigh
borhood. The cost of these clinkers is stated
TO be about $3.50 per cubic yard, and small
quantity OF common or hydraulic lime Is
mixed with them before using, the mixture
being then wetted and rammed in layers.
When arches or vaults are formed of this
kind OF concrete, care is necessary not TO
place the layers OF material parallel TO the
surface OF the ground or the curve of the
centriDg, but to ram the layers in such a
manner as will consolidate them vertically
to the curve of the intrados. In this way all
risk of shaking out any of the material is
avoided.
The name of "Norwegium" has been given
to the interesting new metal discovered by
Delhi some time ago, while he was examin-
ing specimen of nickle ore from Kragoro,
in Norway. This addition to the now
rapidly growing list of elements is mall
leable metal OF white color with tinge of
brown, and presents, when pure, a metallic
lustre, but upon exposure to the atmosphere
becomes coated with thin film of oxide:
Its hardness is about that of copper. its
specific gravity is nearly nine and one-half,
and il melts at $50 degrees Cent. From its
physical properties and chemical reaction, il
appears so TO differ from every other known
metal as to give il distinct individuality.

In the Good old Time.

burlington hcpOTLcfl
We always sat on the rear benches at
church, and when the doxology had been
sung and the benediction had been pro-
nounced, we "sliu out" This is the Latin
for going outside and ranging ourselves in
rows just beyond the door and on either side
of the walk leading from il. When the girls
came out, one at time, we watched our
chances and asked the momentous question:
"Can | see you home tonight" so low that
nobody but the girls could hear it, and then
walked of with her as proudly as if we had
conquered nation-unless we got the nit
ten" sometimes called "the sack for
short. A good looking girl often sacked"
as many as a dozen OF US before she got
through with the exercises of the evening.
The less desirable girls came out first, and as
all of us were bent on carrying off the prize
beauty, were permitted to depart for home
unmOlested. Some of them occasionally
looked out at the corners of their eyes at US,
as much as to say, "Molest me if you want
to-" but we suffered them to depart in peace.
When the belle of the evening came to the
door there was a general sigh outside, and
those nearest her rendered her their arms
She would cast her eagle eve over the calf
pasture and pick out the one who held high
est favor in her eyes and take his arm and
lean lovingly upon il, while the other boys
found themselves alone in the silent DARK
ness, with no more girls to ask and none to
90 home with or make them afraid. Slowly
and sadly we took up our weary burdens
Snd wandered to ard home, striving to
think Of some cha n that would enable us
to overthrow our SU-c esstul rival.

Upon a twelve months trip he'd gone,
And when four weeks away,
A telegraphic message came
That made the young man gray.
"IOu are a father, John" il said,
And then went on 20 tell
That everything was quite serene.
And wife and baby well

Inquire about his boy.

HAS much 10 think about
And then he'd count the months from home
Before his trip out.
Thus time ran on one month remained,
And John was wild with Joy.
To be at home to see the wife,
And hug that great big boy.
One evening when his work was done,
With one more week 10 stay.
This teleRraphic message came:

A novel use is made OF the stereoscope to
detect forged bank notes. A note of 100
francs was recently submitted to the experts
of the Bank of France as issued by band of
forgels. but the execution was so perfect that
no defect could be discovered by the closest
examination. A suggestion was then made
to place the suspected note side by side with
genuine one in the objective of a stereo-
scope, the two images of which, as is well
known, Ovtr'ay each other and form a single
picture The result of the experiment was
that the loop in a tier of the forged note
did nO5 exactly t..ver that of the genuine
one. showing that 1ey had not been printed
from the same plate.

Parable of the Burglar.

A burglar was going through house in a
Dakota town one night and discovered an
exceptionally large roll of money. Curious
to know whether he had broken into an edi-

capitalists, he turned to the owner, who had
Just awakened, and said:
Excuse me, colonel, but would like to
inquire how you came by such an unusually
large wad of wealth."

polite burglar, dropping the money. "Shake.

brussels Correspondence Chicago Times.
Go from the cafes to the hotels. The pro-
prietOr will wait aud fawn upon you-if you
be well dressed and have few diamond rings
on your fingers Just as his Partisan confrere
does. Eere you will find those rooms-or.
as they call them, cabinets particuliers-that
are, by the by, mere limitations of the class
at the Palais Royal in Paris, where gallants
eat and drink tete-a-tete with the
fashionable female tatterdemalions of
the city, and where married wo-
men forget their nGptial VOWS in the
arms of dudish handles. On the streets after
nightfall we meet with the same disgusting
sights so common at the same hour on the
Doulevards and Faubourg Montmartre of
Paris-the rouged and powdered battalions
of Sinking vice, Haunting its gaudy dresses
and staring you immodestly out of counter
ance. Stroll into by-lanes and into alleys,
where you will not need very much discrim-
ination to see that Brussels even exceeds
Paris, proportionately speaking, in the num-
Der of its dens of corruption tolerated by the
statute book and patronized by many who
have something to do with the manufacture
of statutes.
Go into society fashionable teasparties,
dance at fashionable balls. and eat and drink
at mIdnighth suppers, and what do you find
except that same strange sameness OF habits
and ideas so prevalent in the city by the
Seine-the same fashionable dictum, II not
openly expressed, az least secretly implied
and acted on, that a married dame who does
not afford herself the luxury of paramour
is the wretchedest of sottes; the same pru-
RENT practical PHILOSOPHY that ties respect
ably brought up girls to their mammas'
apron strings till the nuptial day-a phylo-
sophy which makes the minxes hypocrites
before marriage and God knows what after
it, the same simpering civilities exchanged
between men and men or women and women
who have no more regard for each other than
an Irish dynamiter has, or is supposed to
have, for the hide of the average Saxon.
