Ivory Carving In China and Japan.

In China and Japan ivory has been
carved, the ivory balls inclosed inside
one another being specially noted.
Many theories have been formed as to
how these balls have been cut. Perhaps
probable one is that a ball of ivory
was taken, around the upper and lower
ends Of which four small holes were
carved ont, gradually diminishing in
size toward the center until the axis of
the one hole met the axis of the other
or lower one at right angles in the CEN
ter of the ball, and that then small
tools were inserted, and thin layer of
ivory, forming part of a circle from
one hole to its lower corresponding one,
was cut and loosened from the whole
mass. Sc, gradually cutting from one
hole to the next one, a complete inner
circle was eventually loosened, the cir
cles themselves afterward being cut into
the required pattern.-Chambers' Jour
nal.

They Insured Him.

The ways and means Of insurance
agents for securing customers are many
and varied. The modus operandi seems
to be to get the victim interested and
then lombard him with argument, elo-
quence and statistics, and it is in the
first that the real genius Of the business
comes in.
A merchant was writing at his desk
the other day when two of the craft en-
tered. Being we'll dressed and prosper
Gus looking, he rose to receive them and
inquired their business.
Il want" said one, "to introduce to
you my friend, Mr.. Booker, who is a
we'll known gentleman living here, and
special agent for the Bluster Life In
surance company"
Il am pleased to meet Mr.. Booker, "
returned the merchant, "but 1 really
don't know that I'm acquainted with
you"
Indeed" said the first. Booker,
old man, introduce me-"
Booker did, and the merchant, seeing
the trick, burst out into hearty guffaw
and was soon insured by the two
friends, who, if they had entered in the
ordinary style and stated their busi-
ness, would probably have been shown
the door.-London Tit-Bits.

Reynolds Painting Siddons.

Some of Reynolds methods were Pc
culiar. He usually painted his sitters
from their reflection in a mirror and
not from direct view. He always re-
manned standing while at work, and he
rarely signed a portrait.
One notable exception, however, was
made in the case of his magnificent pOr-
trait of Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic
Muse, which was painted when the
master was 60 years old and when Mrs
Siddons was 2S. The great actress, fail
ing at first to recognize a sort of en-
brOidery which the artist had added to
the edge of her robe, soon perceived that
it contained the words, Joshua Rey-
nolds pinxit, 1884" whereupOn Sir
Joshua assured her that he would be
proud to have his name go down to pos
terity on the hem of her garment! Be-
fore commencing this picture the ar
tist, instead Cf posing the sitter himself,
requested Mrs. Siddons to give him her
own idea of the Tragic Muse. and she
Immediately assumed the pose in which

Grandmamma, in your frame on the wall.
Beautiful maid Of the long ago,
Stately and slender, blond and tall,
With the pinched in waist and the foot so
small,
Prithee tell-for fain would know
What did you on that Christmastide
When great-great-grandpapa made you bride?
Handsome AID courtly and debonair.
With his powdered cue and his Roman nose
AS richly dark as his bride is fair,
He rests a hand on your straight backed chair
To whisper to you, l suppose
To whisper again as in long ago
When he kissed you under the mistletoe.
Say. beautiful bride in the antique dress;
Say, beautiful bride in youk bridal white,
Did you let him gaze on your lovsline.s
Till lifted eyes did your heart confess
AS you led the dance on your weddiT night?
Did he press your hand as he bent TO ray
Sweet words-as the lovers do today?
Ah! courtly groom Of the vanished years,
Beautiful bride Of the days long fed,
Dust, but dust are your hopes and fears,
Cold your kisses and dried your tears;
But hang here, over your head,
A sprig Of such Christmas mistletoe
AS you kissed beneath in the long ago.

1HOUGHTLESS MINISTERS.
The Cheeky Drummer Catches Two Di
vines on a Simple Proposition.

vines on a Simple Proposition.
Abashed at nothing, commercial
traveller in the south once propounded a
question to a couple of clergymen,
whom he encountered on a railroad
train, which illustrates how easily
man may be tripped on simple little
catch problem. The drummer entered
into a conversation with the minis
ters and entertained them amazingly
with his brilliant conversation, touch
ing men and affairs. Gradually the top
les changed, until at last the talk was
Of DR.. Talmage and his visit to the
Holy Land.
Speaking of the Holy Land" said
the graceless commercial man, Il was
quite interested to read in a New York
paper recently that party of explorers
in Palestine had discovered huge heap
of bones, which, from their size and
quantity, are supposed to be of the chill
dren which Herod ordered killed. They
were found in cave, which had been
closed for centuries, which accounts for
their preservation.
"Indeedv' replied one Of the clergy
men, much interested. II had not
heard Of it. 1t is certainly a surpris-
ing discovery.
Yes" continued the drummer,
land, oddly enough, while nearly half
of the bones were bleached white, the
rest were as black as ebony"
Remarkable, calculated the cler-
gyman who had already spoken, while
the other looked at the drummer sus-
piciously.
what is your theory?" he contin-
ued DO you think it possible that
the bleached bones could be of males
and the black of females?"
Possibly" replied the more COM
municative clergyman, II am not an
anatomist, however, and can't say what
effects long exposure has on the bone
of the sexes
And you," persisted the drummer
Do you think it possible that the white
bones belong to male infants and the
black to female, or vice versa? That Is
the problem that now excites the dis
coverers."
Really" replied the other, Il don't
know; but, possibly, as you first put it,
the white bones may be of the male
children, and the black of the female. I"
Shortly after this the clergymen
reached their destination and left the
train. Just as it was about moving off
the drummer, who had been chuckling
to himself the meanwhile, thrust into
the hand of one card, upon which was
written the words:
Excuse me if l suggest that you
read your Bibles hereafter with greater
care. Had you done so in the past, you
would have known that boy babies only
were ordered slain by Herod. New
York Herald.

An Interesting Predicament.

A man who lives in a fiat near Central
park recently had a peculiar experience.
A couple of deaf mutes rented an apart
ment underneath his own and were
blessed in due season by the arrival of a
bouncing baby with an excellent pair of
lungs. At night the little one woke up
nearly the entire house by it's cries, but
through all of it the parents slept until
the tenant above, at the solicitation Of
his wife, went down stairs and fairly
forced an entrance The deaf and dnlnb
couple resort to many ingenious devices
to overcome the disadvantages under
which they labor. They are unable to
hear their doorbell, so they have ar
ranged piece of colored paper upon
the gong in such a way that the paper
futters when the bell rings. By KEEP
ing watclful eye Oh the bell they are
able to receive their visitors promptly,
but their inventive genius has not as yet
devised a scheme to indicate the baby's
distress at night.-New York Mail and

Memory.

There are 100 different varieties Of
memory, and perhaps we cannot alto
getheT choose which we will possess,
though every sort, when we have the
germs of it, may be cultivated.
To learn anything by heart the best
plan is to read a sentence and repeat it
without book, then read the next SEN
tence and repeat the two, and so on.
Repetition is of great Importance, Line
upon line" More is learned and re-
mem bered by reading through one book
twice than by reading two books once.
After a thing has been learned it
must be recalled and gone over at in
tTvals, or the impression will fade
away. DR.. NJ. Granville says we
should take out our own ideas and dust
them sometimes. Interior.

Hollow SDars.

The use of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duced new and novel industry requir-
ing workmanship of the finest charac-
ter. The stick for this purpose is re-
quired to be of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being roughly
shaped is split longitudinally from end
to end; the center of each of the halves
Is then followed out, and a greater or
less amount is removed, according to
the intended location Of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length of
the spar, great care being essential TO
have them follow the taper Of the out
side of the spar exactly, to insure uni
form thickness at every point-ot course
when this has been done and the two
halves of the spar replaced in their
original position, a circular hole is left
in the center of the spar, running near
ly the whole length, and following its
taper from end to end. After this the
two halves are fastened in place again
by means of wooden bowels, which fas-
ten the split together, being placed al
ternately on either side of the central
hollow, and both bowels and split are
carefully glued. These bowels vary in
size with the size of the spar, but are
usually as long as they can be made
without piercing its outside surface.
They are placed slightly nearer the CEN
ter hollow than the outside, in order TO
give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice, but in large ones metal bands on
the outside are added.-New York Sun.

Bastanasi's Capture,

The notorious Corsican bandit, Bas-
tanasi, was man of considerable cru
dltion, had been educated at Pisa, knew
Latin and had belonged to the medical
profession. On one occasion he was
going to Sartene on a vessel which
stopped at Ajaccio. Knowing that the
gendarmes were after him, he did not
attempt TO land, but as he had fine
voice and could also play the guitar to
beguile the time of waiting he got out
his instrument and began TO sing and
play. \ fisherman in the port recog-
nized the voice and likewise remem-
bered the song. He went and informed
the authorities, and it was thus through
his love Of music that Bastanasi was
arrested. II saw him land" says NJ.
Lewis. The handouts were on his
wrists, and the guitar was slung round
his neck. "-Contemporary Review.
