Ivory Billiard Balls stained with blood.

Ivory Billiard Balls Stained With Blood.
The globe of ivory which is knocked
about a table in game of billiards costs,
If of good quality, at least $40. This rep
resents its cost in money. There Is,
however, o far more important and for
midable element in the price which has
been paid for it. The billiard ball of
pure ivory represents as it lies white
and glistening upon the cloth an expend-
iture of human lifeblood as well as of
money.
Elephants tusks are brought down to
the African coasts by caravans general
ly in charge of Arabs, which have been
trading in the interior. Very often they
have picked up slaves as well as ivory.
But this phase of the matter may be left
out of the account.
It is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost more
than 100 human lives through fights and
murders in the course of the expedition.
Thirty more men are likely to have sue
cumbed to fevers or other diseases and
the fatigues of the march.
The hunting of the elephants and the
capture of the ivory are very likely to
have caused the death of 10 men alto
gether. Such casualties are the rule
in elephant hunting rather than the ex-
ception.
An average tusk does not furnish more
than enough material for two good bill
lard balls. OF course the remainder of
the ivory in each tusk is made use of in
other ways. A perfectly cut billiard ball
requires special quality or SO called
nerve" which is found only in one part
of the tusk.
The chances are that billiard ball OF
the first quality has cost at least one hu-
man life, and there is not one such ball
which may not truly be said to be
stained with human blood. They can
hardly be considered, therefore, a cheer
full accompaniment to a sensitive per-
sons diversions. Companion.

next month III the Pavilion de la Vile de

international show of old people. No
one under the age of 80 will be permitted
to compete for the prizes offered, but as
there are at least 80 duly authenticated

THE DEATH OF HAMLET.

He sleeps at last, and all the grief
That shook his soul in manhood Is prime
Is waited Ike some faded leaf
Across the horizon of time.
How shall we fltly say farewell
To him whose voice In other days
Thrilled human hearts as by a spell
And won the incense Of their praisef
Like some ungentle blast that shakes
The fairest blossom from the tree
Is this grim mystery that takes
Life's perfume and life's how'r from thee.
And can those lips indeed be dumb
From which such golden words did fall,
And is that princely figure numb
That yields the purple to the pall2
Alas, 'tis sol Tho prince is dead
Who showed us Denmark's woes anew.
May sweetest rest attend his bed
And peace the gentle heart and truel
The lights are out, the play is DER,
His voice is hushed. in very truth,
His presence ne'er shall thrill us more,

A Dangerous Barber shop.

The funniest street sign that ever
hung over a New York door is that of a
barber on Hudson street near where the
city's thoroughfares get tangled up in
such confusion at Abingdon square.
The owner of the shop is a darky and is
very fond of big words. So when he
had his sign painted he had it made to
read. "Tonsorial Parlor," instead of just
plain Barber Shop" This sign hung
for nearly year. TheAI SOME wag
probably to-. him that there was a
more elegant wording which might
draw custom to his shop Within a
week new sign, resplendent in red,
white and blue, hung out 'proclaiming
that ''Tonsorial Abattoir" might be
found within. 1t is not known whether
the shop is more literally patronized
under its new designation as a hair
dressing butcher shop or not, but cer-
tainly the darby is very happy over the
length and impressive appearance of the
new word On his sign.-New York

they have given up this problem you
hold your hands near the glasses to show
that the water is on the left, and by
simply passing around the table and fac

the water on your right. This is simple

I'm going out little while,
And you must promise. Dolly,
To sit as quiet as mouse,
And not go romping DER the house
With pussy cat and Polly.
For pussy's claws are very sharp,
And they are sure to scratch you,
Or if you get in Polly's reach
She'll give an awful, awful screech,
And with her beak she'll catch you.
And don't go mussing up your things
Or get your dress in creases;
Don't put your hands up to your hat;
Your bangs are loose-remember that
And they may come to pieces.
Don't pull the buttons off your shoes
Or laugh when Polly chatters;
You mustn't mind her talk bit,
But only shut your eyes and sit
And think of other matters.
And promise. Dolly, not to pout,
1t makes you look so simple,
For every time you frown, you know,
1t makes the horrid wrinkles grow
And spoils your pretty dimple.
You'd better go TO sleep, for then
I'll have no cause to scold you.
