Now Mr.. c., who was somewhat

When Miss c., who was present,
explained the situation, her father was
overwhelmed with shame, and made

1.-The principal use of vegetable ivory
now" said "a broker who deals in the ar
ticle incidentally, sis in the manufac-
ture of buttons. A good many people
probably think that the buttons on their
spring clothes are made of rubber or
bone-and SO they used to be. Now
however, vegetable ivory is the principal
material used. The nut in its green
state is filled with milky substance
which hardens upon ripening into fine.
even grain and tough substance. In
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 or cold, and is not liable
to break in the eye. The manufacturers
are located in u number of eastern cities,
though the 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-
duction in this country was in 1880 and
1890, but the Germans are now able to
successfully compete with American
manufactures. New York Telegram.

How College Mems Heads Swell.

With regard to head product" Mr..
Francis Gallon draws the following con-
illusions:
20 Although it is pretty well ascer-
tanned that in the masses of the popu-
lation the brain ceases to grow after the
age OF 10, or even earlier, it is by no
means so with university students.
"(2.) That men who have obtained
high honors have had. on the average
considerably larger brains than others at
the age Of 49,
''(3.) That they have. on the average.
larger brains than Others but not to the
same extent ut the age Of 25; in fact,
their predominance is at that time dimin-
ished to about one-half Of what it was.
~ Consequently. high honor men
are presumably, as a class. both more
precocious and more gifted throughout
than others. We must therefore look
upon eminent university success as
largely due to fortunate combination
OF these two helpful conditions. The

The Cultivation Of English walnuts.

Great success is being made with the
cultivation of English walnuts in Cali
fornia. 1t is believed that they can be
produced proftably in the eastern states
as soon as more experience is had in the
fertilizing of the flowers. This is ALWAYS
a great difficulty, and it has been found
on the Pacific coast that very effective
remedy for it is to plant among the trees
black walnuts, or even the common but
ternuts. They are all cousins and the
plentiful pollen of the butternut or black
walnut trees fertilizes the blossoms of
the English walnuts, which would not
otherwise be iInpregnated.
Before very long this country will be
shipping English walnuts abroad, and
the same is likely to be the case with al
monds. OF the latter very big crops are
now produced in California and Arizona.
They require a dry climate. East of the
Rocky mountains they do not do well,
because Of the frosts and dampness.

a THANKFUL PARsoN.

A pious parson, good and true,
Was crossing DER the seas.
When suddenly there fiercely blew
A wild and sweeping breeze.
He feared the storm the ship would wrecl,
His heart was sore afraid
he sought the captain ON the deck
And found him undismayed.
The captain saw his awful fear
And led him up TO where
The servant Of the Lord could hear
The sailors roundly swear.
"Nou clearly see, the captain said,
IF danger lowered nigh,
They d all be on their knees instead
And asking grace 10 die"
The parson felt his words were true.
And when the skies grew fair
He marveled how the sailors knew
just when to pray or swear
But when che seas which wildly flowed
Had ceased to plunge and spout,
Unto himself he said st showed
They know what they're about"
But later on another storm
Came tiercer than before.
The parson heard with wild alarm
The oceans angry roar
He sought the deck in awful dread
To near the sailors get.
He listened-then he bowed his head
THANK God, they're swearing vet"

Starting Bulbs.

NOW is the time to start your bulbs in
glasses for the winters bloom. Grow
ing them Ill vases Of water is popular for
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 a
goodly show of beautiful flowers. 1t re-
qaires, moreover, no horticultural knowl-
edge or skill, as any one may be success
full by observing 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

there Is at the same time plenty of air,

The Food supply Is Mensureles..

The fundamental mistake out of which
grew the gloomy doctrines of the older
theorists was III measuring the possibili-
ties of production by what they knew of
soil culture Science had not revealed
to them that, aside from proper tempera-
ture and moisture, the essential factor
in vegetable production is plant food;
Wat this may be given to the plant with
out the aid Of the soil; that what they
understood by soil fertility is a compare
lively unessential factor of agricultural
production; that, in short, the possibili-
ties of the food supply in the future are
measureless.- Professor Atwater in Cen
