the University of France has sat as it

all such occupations, however. he has
too much to do with the outer court;
it is in the inner one, that of the doc

of the Ecole Normale Superieure, that
he fully blossoms, unspotted from the

COST OF a BILLIARD BALL
About Ten Dollars in Cash and Usually .
Large Amount of Human Blood.

About Ten Dollars in Cash and Usually .
Large Amount of Human Blood.
The globe of ivory which is knocked
about a table in a game of billiards
costs, if of good quality, at least ten
dollars, says the Million. This repre-
sents its cost in money. There is,
however, a far more important and
formida BILE 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 expenditure of human life blood as
well as of money. Elephants tusks
are brought down to the African coast
by caravans, generally 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. 1t is estimated that
every large caravan bringing ivory to
the coast has cost more than one hun
dred and sixty human lives through
fights and murders in the course of the
expeditions. Thirty more men are
likely to have succumbed 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 ten
men altogether. Such casualties are
the rule in elephant hunting rather
than the exception. An average tusk
does not furnish more than enough ma
terial for two good billiard balls. Of
course the remainder of the ivory in
each tusk is made use of in other ways;
a perfect cut billiard ball requires spe-
cial quality, or so-called nerve -
which is found only in one part of the
tusk. The chances are that a billiard
ball of the first quality has cost at
least one human life; and there is not
one such ball which may not be truly
said to be stained with mems blood.
They can hardly be considered, there
fore, a cheerful accompaniment to a
sensitive persons diversion.

Behring Sea Matters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The most
sweeping denials are made of the state
ment that a serious disagreement exists
between the British and American gov
ernments in the negotiations for the
protection of the seal fisheries in Behrine
Sea during the coming period. It is
said that Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador, is E'exercising ex.
treme diplomatic methods to secure a
modification of the regulations already
agreed upon, or to delay their promul-
CATION until too late to prevent the
Canadian sealers from making theil
usual catch" It is stated upon the
highest authority that the British gov
ernment could not change the regula.
tions, if it desired, and it does not SO de-
sire. If, when the regulations are
finally considered by Sir Julian Paunce-
fote and Secretary Gresham, both gentle
men are satisfied to make certain modi-
fications, which may give better effect
to the regulations, a change may be
made. The delay in reaching a settle
ment of the matter arises from the fact
that the machinery of the British foreign
Office, like that of the American depart
entof state, moves slowly.

INCAPABLE, INDEED.

A leading county democrat said, a
few days ago: "This is the most un-
fortunate time in the world for the dem
ocratic party to get control of the ad-
ministration. It was at time when
the finances of the government were tot
tering and would have fallen under
three months more of republican rule.
The republican secretary of the treasury
was at his wits end trying to maintain
the gold reserve to the 500, 900
mark until his democratic successor as
sumed the office"
Financial embarrassment, indeed !
After thirty years of unexampled pros
perity in the history of any nation,
when the United States manufactured
one-third of the finished products of the
world, work plentiful and wages good, a
revenue covering all expenses, besides
dissipating the national debt like dew
before the sunlight, caring for the Union
veterans, and prosecuting great internal
improvements. The republican party
took the reins of government in 1861,
not only at the close of financial panic
a good deal like the present, but when
the shades of a tremendous civil war
were fast settling down upon the nation.
This party successfully conducted the
country through the throes of this mem
Orable struggle, and when it was ended,
the nation bruised and bleeding at every
pore, her credit exhausted and debt of
$4,000, 100000 to liquidate, bound up
the wounds received in conflict, paid
this debt, cared for wounded survivors,
and established a widespread prosperity
by reason, of a protective policy which
built manufactures and employed the
idle, that has never been approached in
any democratic era. It would not seem
to the calm student of this thirty years
of history, that the republican party are
so financially incapable as this county
democrat would have US believe.
