Tho news that Emin Pasha had left be-
hind him his load of ivory has had a sur
prising effect upon billiard interests in
this country, and its effect may be soon
felt in . further bulling of the market
for soft ivory used in the manufacture of
billiard balls. The pricc of billiard balls
was recently advanced TO $32 for a set of
four balls Of standard % inch measure
meut. 1t was the last boom of a slow
rise in price that had been going on for
nearly u year. Last year before the adj
set in a standard set of balls of the
best ivory could be bought for sec. Pool
balls were a trihe cheaper, because such
true spheres of ivory are not needed in
pool.
The billiard ball manufacturers attrib-
ute the increase to the war that had
been going IN in Zanzibar for a year or
more between the Arab traders and the
natives on the one hand and the German
leaders Of the protectorate at Zanzibar
on the other. These costly discussions,
the manufacturers say, had the effect of
greatly retarding the expectation of soft
ivory from Africa, and created a scarcity
of good ivory that made the increase in
prices of billiard balls necessary.
The war in Zanzibar was squelched
some time ago by the Teutonic protect
crate, but the prices of the billiard balls
have not been depressed correspond
ingly.
Emin Pasha's store of ivory tusks had
been accommodating for years, and DR..
Junker estimated two years and a half
ago that he had about $500, 900 worth of
tusks. This had probably increased
month by month, but the latest dis
patches were that it had all been burned
or deposited with native chiefs.-New

The Rawlins penitentinry.

William DAILY, OF Rawlins, is in town
to urg Rawlins' claims for an APP propria-
ton with which to finish the building of
the ~penitentiary there. He is a hearty
supporter of Mr.. Rankin's bill which
levies a direct tax of one mill, equivalent
to something over $50, 900. The build
ing of the penitentiary, he believes, would
be a good thing for the territory as well
as Rawlins. The territorial prisoners
can only be maintained at Joliet for three
years longer and provision must then be
made for keeping them elsewhere. Their
cost at Rawlins would not be more than it
is at present, twenty five cents a day. The
facilities for the employment Of prisoners
there are unrivalled. In burning lime or
quarrying stone they could be utilized
with advantage to themselves and profit
to the territory.

The general was very talkative one even
ing, explaining to US his pet theory, viz, that
the Seychelles islands, which are situated to
the northeast Of Madagascar, are the site of
the garden of Eden! He gave many reasons
for thinking so-one being that there was a
tree found there that is not to be found in any
other part Of the world. This, he is confident
is the forbidden tree" 1t is called the
COco-de-Mer, or nut of the sea, y and has
many pecuiarities The nut is shaped like a
heart, but with its husk taken off it is like q
mans body from the chest to the knees. To
raise tree, he explained a nut is laid on the
ground and covered with leaves. By and by
a shoot comes out and runs along the ground,
and when about twelve feet long it takes root.
The root is in the form of a bulb four feet in
diameter. The tree itself grows to the height
of 100 feet, and is only about nine inches
thick. It is A years old before it bears fruit,
and its nuts grow seven in bunch, from the
end of the extended arm, each weighing per-
haps forty pounds. They take seven years to
ripen. The leaves are twenty-four feet long
and fourteen feet broad, and can bear a
mans weight 1t must indeed be wonder
full tree.-Contemporary Review.

An Interesting Sight.

One Of the most interesting sights at an
electrical factory where railway motors are
made is the testing of new car truck after
the motors are attached and the frame is
ready to receive the box. The truck is placed
on suitable rails and chained down. in order
TO prevent its running away, which it surely
would do under the powerful electric current
Experimental wires are attached TO the two
motors on the axles Of the trucks, and the
wheels we'll smeared with grease, In order 10

ments Not long ago a Boston man received
a large sum of money as treasurer Of an or
ganization too late for deposit, so he took it
home with him to his suburban residence. 1t
worried him, this money, in a way he could
not understand. He kept thinking, "Am
going TO lose this money which does not be-
long TO mei" So strong was this feeling that
he could not get to sleep. Yet he was ashamed
Of himself. Saying nothing to his wife, he
got up, took the money from his coat pocket,
put it in his stocking and threw it under the
bed. In the morning his wife said TO him in
a joking way, II wonder what condition you
were in when you came TO bed last night
There's your coat on the floor, your vest is
out in the hall and your trousers are across
the doorsiu." Being man of steady habits,
it did look suspicious. It did not take him
long, however, TO discover that burglars had
been through the house and his own money
and watch taken.
But the stocking under the bed was safe

Immoral Books,


They were two Vassar girls They were
talking about immoral literature over cup
Of tea, and one Of them gave lucid opinion
about immoral books. She said: ga nasty
book is not necessarily immoral. 1t may dis
gust and have no other effect; a book that
gives pictures of vice is not necessarily i'm
moral, because usually the contrast is shown
by the introduction of virtue, and the one is
made 50 much more beautiful than the other;
then the vice is not hidden behind a thin veil,
that while it reveals what seem delights con-
ceals ali that disgusts. The immoral book, to
my thinking, is the book that upsets your
faith in humanity, that makes you question
the world at large, and tries to turn ycu
away from your belief in God. Another i'm
moral book is the one that gives excuse for
sin by claiming that one is the creature Of
circumstance, that inherited traits cannot be
battled with, and that if one does wrong ones
grandfather or ones wicked nature can be
blamed for it. I will recite you three bad
books-books that are probably in every
house in New York. First, 'Dr. Jekyl and
Mr.. HYDE that says, why should one try
to be good if there is another self that rulesT
Next, Anna Karenina,' because it makes
you look out the window on life and every
thing is wrong, everything is dark, there is
no hope and no necessity for hope Third,
Robert Elsnere' No book can be good that,
like this, makes one uncertain as TO what is
right or wrong, and suggests that it is ones
duty to cast aside the creed of ones youth.
These are immoral books. Chicago Herald.

EATING IN A QUIET CORNER.

One day kind hearted lad, with dron
way Of putting things, preached Number
One a little sermon. 1t did Number One
good, and, as it is possible some other boys
and girls might profit by it, here it is:
Il wonder what would happen if every
thing turned selfish on a suddenl What
would happen if tie Sun got crusty because
we noticed his spotty face, and put up his
shutters and vowed he would hereafter sell
his daylight by yard measured
Suppose the Wind got sulky at being
called names, and vowed he'd never fill an
other sail unless he had his days work paid
for in hard cash. and if the Water swore it
would not do mans dirty work any longer,
and the Air would not be drawn into our
lungs-what thenl And If Sleep were to say:
I'm sick cf rocking all you people TO rest,
and you may henceforrh lie awake ell night
and II all these things happened, as happen
they would if those kind ministers to our
wants were as selfish as soma people, what
would become Of Us?
Now" said the lad, Tets all learn from

soft old Rsin, to be generouS- Yes let's De

EVERY MEAL is A TRIAL

To the dyspeptic Flatulence, heartburn,
oppressive fullness Of the stomach, are the
inevitable sequences of the use of the
knife and fork. To say Of him that he
gratifes the cravings Of appetite would
be genuine satire. He only appeases
them. Is relief attainable? Certainly,
and by the use of a pleasant as well as
thorough remedy, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Will it cure Immediately? Ger
tainly not-it does not effect miracles, But
it does give prompt and unspeakable re-
lief, and will, if persisted in, produce an
ultimate cure. Not only does it impart
relish to the food, but promotes its conver-
sion by the stomach into rich, health and
strength-sustaining blood. Supersensl-
tiveness of the nerves, mental depression.
and unquiet slumber, produced by inter
ruption of the digestive functions, are also
remedied by it. 1t is the finest preventive
and curative Of malarial disorders and re-
Iieves consumption, rheumatism, kidney
and bladder ailments, and liver complaint.

CUT 1.-MAKTNG A KITE ~.

TIE tail of kite does for the kite precisely

a Pocket Mirror Free to Smokers of
The Angry Tree.

There Is a species of acacia which is com
monty called the angry tree. 1t reaches the
height of eighty feet after a rapid growth,
and somewhat resembles the century plant
One of these curious plants was brought from
Australia and set out at Virginia, New,
where it has been seen by many persons.
When the sun sets the leaves fold up and the
tender twigs coil tightly, like little pigs
tail If the shoots are handled the leaves
rustic and move uneasily for time If this
queer plant is removed from ons pot to an
other it seems angry, and the leaves stand
out in all directions like quilts on a porcu-
pine. A most pungent and sickening odor,
said to resemble that given off by rattle
snakes when annoyed, fills the air, and it is
only after an hour or so that the leaves fold
in the natural way.-Chicago Mail

A Bows Essay on Breathing.

A Kentucky school boy, of u years, recent
ly wrote the following essay on breathing:
1--WE breathe with our lungs, our lights, our
kidneys and our livers. If it wasn't for our
breath we would die when we slept. Our
breath keeps the life agoing through the nose
when we are asleep. Boys who stay in q
room ell day should not breathe. They
should wait until they get out in the fresh
air. Boys in a room make bad air called
carbonicide. Carbonicideis as poison as mad
dogs A lot of soldiers were once in a black
hole in Calcutta and carbonicide got in there
and killed them. Girls sometimes ruin the
breath with corsets that squeeze the diagram.

Number One.

There was once a rather nice looking little
boy who was called by his playmates Number
One. This might have been an honorable
title, but unhappily il wasn't. This Number
One was desperate little glutton, and good
deal of miser beside. His hand was always
open to get, but never to give. He liked eat
ing good things in quiet corner, and he
would stuff himself TIL he was quite i'll.
