Live and Dead Ivory.

There is ivory and ivory, as I learned
while talking with William Cooper, who
spent two years on the Congo River. The
so called "live" ivory is the quality most
sought after, because it retains an elias
ITCHY which is not common to the dead"
ivory. The distinction between them is
that the latter is taken from skeletons of
elephants who have died natural death,
leaving their bones to bleach in the ele-
ments. Either is valuable enough, a
single tusk of ivory on exhibition in
18th street, New York, being worth $500.
1t weighs something over 100 pounds.
For ornaments the dead ivory answers
as we'll as the other, so that it is at dis
count of only 20or 25 per cent. For bill
lard balls the dead ivory will not answer
at all, because it lacks elastic qualities.
Mr.. Cooper says that Africa is full of
dead ivory, because up to the present
time traders have confined themselves to
buying live ivory, as it costs them no
more, and would bring higher price;
but he predicts that as the supply of tusks
that have been taken from freshly killed
beasts becomes less dead ivory will be-
come great and profitable African COM

If it can not be said of any human
being that he does not think at all, it can
he said of very few that they think
deeply, truly, and earnestly. While
thought is privilege so dear that none
would be willing to forego it, it is strange
that so many of us are content to par
take so sparingly of it. Most of us skim
over its waves without ever attempting
to sound its depths. We think about
mnny things, but seldom through any
thing. Yet the evils of this habit Of
superficial thinking are serious, though
seldom brought into notice. One OF
cl'ese is the arrogance and self sufficiency
which it frequently engenders. The old
proverb: "A little learning is dangerous
rhing," may be quite as perhnently ap-
oiled tof thinking.

MAX O'Rell isn't coming to America
this year, said Major j. B. Pond, "but

British Museum, and the only living man
who can put his hand on every volume
in that wonderful collection, is coming
to tell the people on this side of the
water about the treasures of the mu-
scum. had heard it said," quo a the
major, who is as brown as if he ha been
with Stanley in Africa, that Mr.. Pagan
could, in just two minutes after demand
made on him. produce OF locate any treas
ure in his charge 1t has also been said
that everything worth keeping is kept
under the roof below which he reigns
supreme. When introduced to him
asked casually if he would let me look
at a copy of the Vermont Farmers AL
manac,' pamphlet | hadn't heard of
since my boyhoood, and which | didn't
suppose any Vermont farmer even had

touching bell and calling an old attend
ant, to whom he gave slip paper con-
tanning the name of the thing desired and
its location. In just 110 seconds the old
attendant came back with a complete file

Bulls of a German Professor.

The prize medal for absent minded
ness during lectures must be awarded to
q German professor named Johannes
Amer, who recently died in Vienna. One
of his pupils had list of his remarka-
able sayings, among them the following :
Julius Caesar disguised as slave, swan
naked across the Tiber. "Alexan-
der the Great was born in the absence of
his parenta "The Swiss are a noun
famous nation, but in Scotland the cli-
mate does not begin till October. Hogs
were invented in Asia Minor" "Thus
arose general war on page o." "The
third Tunic war would have been over
much sooner had it commenced little
earlier. ""Covered with countless wounds
Caesar fell 3ead near the statue Of Pom
pey with one hand he drew his toga
over his face, while with the other he
called for help"

A COMPARISON.

I'd ruther lay out here among the trees,
With the singing birds and the buml bees,
A-knowin that can do as please,
Than to live what folks call a life of ease
Up thar in the city.
Fer really don't 'xactly understan'
Where the comfort is fer any man
In walkin' hot bricks an usin' a fan,
An enjoyin' himself as he says he can
Up thar in the city.
It's kinder lonesome, mcbbe you'll say,
A-livn' out here day after day
In this kinder easy, careless way,
But hour out here is better'n day
Up thar in the city.
As fer that, JUS look at the flowers aroun'
A-peepin' their heads up all over the groun',
An the fruit a-bendin' the trees way down.
You don't find such things as these in town,
Or, ruther, in the city.
AS said afore, such things as these,
The flowers, the birds and the bum'l bees,
An .livn' out here among the trees,
Where you can take your ease, an do as you
please,
Makes it better'n the city.
Now, all the talk don't mount to snuff
Bout this kinder life a-bein' rough,
An I'm sure it's plenty good enough,
An tween you an me, It amt half as tough
AS livin in the city.

Lightly ii danced on Its glandsome way,
Like thing of life so bright and free.
The sun shone bright in the azure sky,
Soft, feecy clouds drifted calmly by

And the bark sailed on.
A watcher stood on the lonely shore,
And smiled through the tears while sho
waved farewell
To the gallant craft, as from her it bore
One who was dearer than words could tell.
Still her sad eyes watched till sail and spar
Were lost beyond the horizons bar;
Then she turned with sigh to the world
While her poor heart throbbed with its
anxious pain,
And the bark sailed on.
The sad waves grieved in the autumn gale,
And tossed their crests meath the wintry
skies;
But the CLEAN of the white returning sail
Gladdened never the watchers eyes.
And the summer sun looked brightly down
On the sloping roofs of the seaport town;
But the treacherous sea no token gave
OF the sailors fate or the restless grave
Where the bark went down.

The Arab woman, save in rare and
pleasant exceptions, is hardly what the
poets and painters have shown us. If
she be graceful or beautiful it is ex-
tremely difficult to discover it; and she
possesses neither of these attractions af-
ter she is %, for she is "wife" at from
10 to IA years of age, whatever that sta
ton or condition means among the Arabs.
All there is about this being to become
ecstatic over is that subtle prompting of
the poetic fancy which ever, to the male
mind peculiarly, blooms like the rose in
any soil of apparent coyishness and mys-
terry in the gentler sex. The Arab
woman is simply vacuous, insensate,
voiceless, and dreamless human animal
sheeted like the dead in the streets, and
dead to the world when within the four
windowless walls where the majestic
being who owns her keeps her penned.
You can make nothing more or less OF
her, Boston Transcript.
