this state it is sawed into slabs of the
necessary thickness and turned into but
tons by machinery.
Unlike rubber and bone, ivory is not
affected by heat OF cold, and IS not liable
to break in the eye. The manufacturers
are located in a number Of eastern cities,
though tho raw material that comes to
this country is usually landed at this
port. The cost Of manufacturing is the
principal item Of expense. About so per
cent. Of the cost of the manufactured
article is in the labor. The greatest pro

1890, but the Germans are now able to

Starting Bulbs.

Now is the time to start your bulbs in
glasses for the winters bloom. Grow
ing them in vases of water is popul-r fol
two reasons. In the first place, it is a
pleasure to watch the development Of
the entire plant, and, secondly, it is a
very easy and clean way Of obtaining q
goodly show Of beautiful flowers. 1t re-
quires, moreover, no horticultural llnowl-
edge or skill, as any one may be success
full by observing a few obvious rules. 1t
must be remembered always that in or
der to produce fine flowers all bulbs
must first form their roots, and as the
darkness prevents the top growth of the
plant, but rather aids that mysterious
process of rootmaking that is generally
in plant life carried on under the friendly
cover of the earth, it is better to place the
glasses in a cool cellar or closet, where
there is at the same time plenty Of air,
until the roots are well formed and the
plant begins to sprout
The water in the glasses should just
reach, not touch, the bulbs; and after
they have been brought into the room
where they are to flower they should be
kept in d place where it will not be too
hot. They like rather a low tempera-
ture, although requiring plenty Of air
and light. In choosing your bulbs select
those that are hard and heavy, as for
window plants you viii want Ihe very
best.-New York Tribune.

After the club fight has lasted about

Then the latter suddenly turn and deal
a few staggering blows, which check

Thus the battle goes back and forth

a Pecnliar prnunr.

In a Maine town near the seacoasi
was one Of many communities where the
men were, so to speak, a cross between
farmers and sailors, and where, as a
natural consequence, the cultivation Of
the soil was somewhat neglected
The minister of a neighboring town
exchanged with the minister of this
community, and as a drought was upon
them the people sent him a request that
he would pray for rain. This he did,
IS follows:
80 Lord, thy servant is asked by this
people to pray for rain, and he does so.

why Eyes Are Light and Dark.

An interesting point is the cause Of
the different shades of color we see in
the eyes. On a certain membrane in the
interior are numerous cells, called ''pig-
ment' cells. When these are present in
very great numbers they produce that
deep black color Of some eyes, and in
proportion to their numbers decrease
also the depth of color, till finally a light
blue is reached. In certain eyes these
pigment cells do not exist at all, being
wanting, indeed, all through the system,
hair and skin. A person of this descrip-
ton is called an albino, and among ami
mails we find parallel in tho case Of
the white rabbit.-Chambers' Journal.

Inventors Are Born.

Generally speaking, inventors, like
poets, are born, not made. Nearly every
boy can become good mechanic OF
tradesman by diligent study and perse-
yerance, but not every one can become
a good inventor. If he has ''knack'
for invention, study and hard work will
greatly help him, and he stands a fair
chance some day of succeeding as well
in his chosen line as his brother play
mates do in business or professional life.
Invention is no longer a spasmodic work.

There We're provided forty-five hal

There are many animals in the world
which pass all their lives in darkness,
never seeing ray Of light. Every one
has heard Of the blind fishes Of the Mann
moth cave. The latter is the biggest Of
800 great cayerns in the United States.
All Of them are inhabited by numerous
other sorts Of creatures that have no
eyes for vision. Literally speaking there
is no such thing as blind fish, since the
most sightless Of the finny tribe possesses
visual organs in rudimentary condi-
ton, but through want Of use the optic
gangiia and nerves have broken down
and been absorbed. Washington Star.

child opired that the wanted party
didn't have any last name; she was 'sdisi
Aunt Tatie.p The little one then ex-
planned that she was lost, and she was in
great distress, her lips quivering so that
at times she could scarcely speak.
Mr. Cluley thought with all his might
for few moments, when an idea struck
him and he asked the child for descrip.
tion Of his aunt. The little maiden re-
piled that "Aunt Tatie" was rather tall
and wore nasturtium flowers in her bon
net.
Now, Mr.. Cluley would hardly stand
a creditable examination in botany. He
knows cabbages from potato vines, and
knows the nasturtiun when he sees ii
on the table in the shape of pickle, but
to save his soul he could not tell what
its flower was like Again he rubbed
his dome Of thought until he rubbed
into it a fresh suggestion and acted upon
it at once. Accosting a lady who was
passing, he asked her if she knew mas
turtium flower when she saw it. She
was at first disposed to resent the ques-
ton as an ilnpertinence, when Mr.. Clu-
ley hastened to explain, and begged her
to take an observation and ascertain
whether there were any ladies in the
neighborhood with that familiar flower
in their bonnets.
The lady glanced into several milli-
merry and dry goods stores, and finally
called out that she had discovered a
lady with bonnet bearing the flower
wanted. She pointed her out, and i'm
mediately the little one cried out joy
fully, "That's Aunt Tatie."
Aunt Tatie" was disposed to be cross
with her charge for wandering away
from the spot she had designated to wait
until her aunt did some shopping, but |
Mr.. Cluley's feelings We're aroused, and |
he wouldn't hear the little one scolded. |
Instead he proceeded to reprimand the |
woman for her thoughtlessness in leav-
ing her charge exposed to the danger of |
being kidnapped.
"Aunt Tatie" had become so interested
in her shopping that she had forgotten
to note the fight of time. Had the little
one not been bright enough to recollect
the name of the flower in the bonnet she
would probably have been crying her
eyes out, a guest at the central station.

How Tho Natives treat corllIas.

Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always as human
beings of inferior types, and it is for
this reason that for long time it was
found impossible to get hold of an entire
gorilla skin, because the savages con-
sidered it religiously Unnecessary to cut off
the hands and feet Of the animals when
they killed them, just as they do with
their enemies, possibly for the purpose Of
rendering them harmless in case they
should by any chance come to life again.
