"That knife handle is worth twice as much
as the other" said an ivory dealer to Sun
reporter as he pointed out two handsome
knives in case. They looked exactly alike,
so the reporter asked in what the difference
lay.
"Well, one handle is formed of live ivory
and the other of dead" replied the merchant.
"By live ivory mean ivory taken from an
animal recently killed. That sort of ivory is
expensive, because it is hard to get. II is
strong, because there is life in it, and it is
used for the best knives, and where dead ivory
could not be used. When an elephant loses
tusk that tusk becomes what we call dead
ivory. He sheds the tusk, and 1t has no
strength in it, It's brittle, and breaks easily,
and can only be used for the handles of pock
ct knives, or in other forms where the ends
are protected If they were not, the ivory
would split and crack in very short time.
The ivory taken from the tusks of the ante
diluvian mammoths buried in the soil of ST.
IBERIA is, of course, all dead ivory. Its uses
are therefore, limited. If you ever want to
buy any ivory goods, be sure to ascertain
whether it is live or dead ivory before pur-
chasing. If the former, it is strong and dura-
BILE; if the latter, it is brittle and liable TO
crack, even where fastened.
1.-THE same rule applies to horn. Deerhorn
and buckhorn, so commonly used, especially
in the handles of pocket knives, is much of
it made from the horns shed by the deer, and
of little value. The live horn is more expen-
sive."-Neao York Sun.

All nature is made to contribute to wo-
mans love of self-adornment The demands
vary according to the grade of culture or the
caprice ofthe reigIing fashion. The savage
is content with the bones, teeth, and heads of
animals, the feathers of birds, and the shells
of snails and fishes, to adorn the head, ears,
nose, neck, arms and girdle. With the wo-
men of the cultured world nothing, perhaps,
is made to contribute so largely to crafty
vainly as the richly -colored BIRDS Whole
birds of paradise and other species and the
feathers ofthe ostrich, peacock, marabou, and
many other birds, are made to serve as orna-
ments for the head. But it is not generally
known that the Mexican women of the
Weather classes use as ornaments, on extra.
ordinary occasions, live fire. flies, which, in
the dark, emit bright, phosphorescent light.
They belong to the family of leaping or
springing beetles, and are called by the Span
ish cucui0, In order to catch these bugs the
Indians fasten live coal to stick, and move
it to and fro in the dark The cucujo thinks
this bright point a rival and in his anger
darts towarts it, and finds the grave of his
liberty in the hands of the Indian. The In
dams find q ready sale for them in the larger
cities, where they are bought by the wealthy
ladies at about two reals twenty-five cents)
dozen. They are kept in elegant little
cages, and fed on slices of sugar cane, and
bathed twice day, either by the ladies them
selves or by their maids. In the evening they
are put into sacks. shaped like roses, and
attached to The ladies' dresses. The light
these little bugs emit surpasses in brilliancy
the reflection of the purest diamonds. The
daily bath they receive is absolutely neces-
sary, as without it they would emit no light,
which is sometimes strong enough, it is said,
to read by.

Care of Animals in Summer.

The American Humane Association pre-
senls the following suggestions relating to
care of animals during the heated term:
Provide water-fresh, pure water. Think,
reader, how you are refreshed by drink of
cool water on a hot day. The lower animals
are equally in need ofthe means ofquenching
thirst.
The active dog requires drink frequently
during the hot day, as does also the cat and
a dish of fresh water should stand where they
can have access to it. Undoubtedly many a
dog is driven to madness through lack of
water and the testimony is that hydropho-
bia is almost unknown in those localities
where dogs can drink when they wish.
Every city, village and country town
should be literally supplied with drinking
fountains for animals, and they should be so
constructed that even the smallest dogs can
drink from them. No gift to people confers a
greater pleasure than fountain, and that per-
son who turns aside a stream from the field
and gives watering trough to the roadside,
or provides fountain at which man and
beast can drink pure water, is truly public
benefactor.
Give the horses frequent opportunity to
quench thirst at times when not too much
over heated, and before eating. To drink
freely Immediately after eating prevents a
favorable digestion of food.
Provide shade. How instinctively we seek
the shadow when the sun is pouring its hot
rays on the dry and parching earth. If the
pasture is not provided with shade trees, in
convenient locality, set four, six or eight
supports, across which place straw or grass
and thus, in brief time and with little labor
make shade in which animals can rest from
the heat of the sun, to the great comfort of
themselves and benefit to their owners.
Remove the harness from the horses in the
hot day whenever you desire to give them a
full, free rest, and once during the day, pre-
ferably at night, thorough currying and
grooming will not only give rest, but will do
about as much towards improving the ami
mails condition as will the oats.
Examine the harness on your working
team, and you will discover that blinds,
check rens and cruppers are simply tortur-
ing contrivances, serving no useful purpose.
Take them all off for the convenience of your
selves and the comfort of the horses. Keep
the stable well ventilated and free from the
strong ammonia, which is injurious to the
eyes. Assist the animals to protect them
selves against flies, feed regularly, hitch. in
the shade, and remember that the care which
will give comfort to the lower animals will
make them doubly profitable to their owners,
aside from the humane bearing upon the sub
iect

Life, according to an Arabic proverb, is

Back Yard Farming.

There is wood-engraver who for many
years lived down town in a cheap fiat. Two
years ago he got q five years lease of a cot
tage in Harlem. 1t is a little place, but with
quite an extensive yard behind it. He took
me through it the other day, and l was amaz-
ed at the luxuriance of his garden. 1t was
symmetrically planted, and only with useful
growth. No space was wasted on the mere
ly beautiful Cabbage and peas and beans
there were, and half of it was filled with
growing corn, but there was not flower in
sight. In the plats around the fences grew
tomatoes, and the door yard was planted
with turnips and radishes. He gets, he tells
me, all the vegetables he needs, except po
tatoes, out of this. plot. Potatoes are too
cheap and potato-bugs too common to be
worth the risk. He pays little more rent
for his cottage than he did for the fiat, but he
takes another engraver to board, and that
more than makes up the difference. If he
has luck with his plantation, he expects, by
the time his lease is out, to be able to buy his
cottage with the savings on his grocery bill.

THE FARMERS WIFE.

Up with the birds in the early morning
The dewdrop glows like precious gem;
Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,
But she's never moment to look at them.
The men are wanting their breakfast carly;
She must not linger, she must not waltz
For words that are sharp and looks that are surly
Are what men give when meals are late
Oh, glorious colors the clouds are turning,
If she would but look over hills and trees
But here are the dishes, and here is the churn.ng
Those things must always yield to these.
The world is filled with the wine of beauty,
Ii she could pause and drink it in;
But pleasure, she says, must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed sin.
The day grows hot and her hands grow weary:
Oh, for an hour to cool her head
Out with the birds in the winds so CHEEKY!
But she must get dinner and bake the bread.
The busy men in the bayfield, working,
If they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would think her lazy and call it Sinking,
And she never could make them understand.
They do not know that the heart within her
-, Hungers for beauty and things sublime;
They only know that they want their dinner
Plenty of it-and just ION time
AND after the sweeping and churning and baking
And dinner dishes are ali put by,
she SITS and sews, though her head is aching
I'LL time for supper and chores" draw Nigh
Her boys at school must look like others,
she says, as she patches their frocks and hose
For the world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect of childrcn's clothes
Her husband comes from field of labor;
@, ne gives no praise to his weary wife:
Shes done no more than has her neighbor;
lis the lot of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life is done, and she lies at rest,
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons ana daughters-shall call her blest.
An M think the sweetest Joys of heaven,
he rarest bliss of eternal life,
And the fairest crown of all will be given
Unto the way-worn farmers wife.

Not Bad by a Long Shot.

The Transvaal Beers, or, perhaps, more
correctly Doors, never lose any opportunity
of being rude and offensive to Englishmen
when chance brings them together, but it is
seldom that the Dutchmen rub it in" so
completely as in the following little incident
told me by an officer of British infantry who
said he was on the spot at the time of the al-
tercation:
"What is the use of a handful of rude ami
mails like you" said the Englishman, "pre-
tending to beat country like ours? Don't
you know that the sun never sets on the
Queens dominions"
"What of that ?" said the Boer.
"Why it simply shows our enormous pow
er," said the other.
at rather shows something very different,
in my opinion" quoth the Transvaaler.
"And what may that be, pray?" sneered
John Bull

calls that God Almighty is afraid to trust you

Lucky and Unlucky Days.

The following doggerel is very old Scotch
rhyme that is not often quoted nowadays.
The idea of Wednesday being the best day
for wedding is all that now remains, but it
will be seen each day has its own peculiar
trait. The first three days of the week being
of good omen and the last three ill-omened.
The lines run thus
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day of ALL
Thursday for crosses
Friday for losses,
Saturday no day at all.
In Judea rainy day has always been con-
sidered unlucky for a wedding. The objec
ton to solemnize marriage in the merry
month of May, however fit season for court
ship, is borrowed from the Roman pagans.
The ancents have given us the maxim, Male
nuJent Iudtd, that's, it is only bad women who
marry in May. The parties to a marriage
may select the month and day of its celebra-
ton, but it is rather a difficult task to choose
the day of ones birth. Yet these, too, have
a meaning:
Born of a Monday,
Fair in Face;
Born of Tuesday
Full OF Gods grace;
Born of a Wednesday,
Merry and glad;
Born of Thursday,
Sour aud sad;
Born of Friday,
Cody given:
Born of Saturday,
Work for your living;
Born of Sunday,
Never shall want;
So there's the week,
And the end ont.
The idea of Friday being an unlucl1y day
is almost universal, and in many civilized
countries it is known as hangman's day,
from the prevailing custom of setting 1t apart
as a day for executions. Yet in Scandinavia,
Thursday, or tie day of Thor, or Thunder,
is considered the day of bad omen. Saint
keeping Thursday as holy day. Dean
Swift, in letter TO Sheridan, rhymes Thurs
day with cursed-day 1t is a well-known
fact that Thursday was an unlucky day for
the English house of Tudor.
