COST OF A BILLIARD BALL.

About Ten Dollars in Cash and Usually a
Large Amount of Human Blood.
The globe of ivory which is knocked
about table in 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, 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 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.
'Fhey can hardly be considered, there
fore, cheerful accompaniment to a
sensitive persons diversion.

The Mentschikohs.

The last representative of the famous
Russian family of Mentschikoff died a
short time ago in Baden Baden. The
founder of the family was Prince Alex
ander Danilovitch Mentschikoff, who
was the son of a stableman and the ap-
prentice to a baker. The boy attracted
the attention of Gen. Lefort, who in
troduced him to Peter the Great.
Owing to his extraordinary clever
ness he obtained great influence over
the czar and soon advanced to the
highest place in the empire. In time
he became the most important and the
most feared man in Russia. In 1877,
however, he fell suddenly into dis
favor and was banished to Siberia, his
immense fortune being confscated by
the crown. He became insane there
from brooding over his fall and losses,
and died in 1880. His son was restored
to favor, however. aud the family
regained it's prominence. The
fortune of the last Mentschikoff, run
ming into the millions, will go to dis
tant relative, Prince Sagarin

ships. The leading boat was quivering
and vibrating and her pipes belched
forth pail of smoke so black that it
needed not the smell that came from it
to show that it came from burning
turpentine. The Queen drew on, and
from her bow the officers of the
Prentiss were seen driving some of the
people from her stern. Both captains
frantically shouted for more steam.
The bow of the pursuing boat was
past the stern of the other. Foot by
foot she gained. Her bow reached
the paddle box. A prolonged, exultant
cheer arose from her decks. Yells of
defiance came from the Prentiss. Fists
were shaken over the rails. A Babel of
human voices arose.
But these and all other sounds were
swallowed by a roar that seemed to
shake the heavens, mingled with ter
rifle and prolonged rush of escaping
steam. The smoke pipes of the Queen
tottered and fell with crash on the
deck forward; the steam flooded every-
thing to the bows; a bright glare shot up
amidships, and the poor rent, ruined,
burning Queen drifted down with the
iiSi uSSho iiiS ing WlUu Unt dp-
onizing shrieks of dozens of victims,
while the river was black with others
who leaped overheard.
The Prentiss was put about, and
every effort was made to save the pas
sengers and crew of her luckless rival.
Her boats picked up many of the
wretches who struggled in the water;
many more were drowned. Bodies
were found floating miles below, the
next day; some with arms or legs Bit
ten off by alligators. The Queen
grounded on point two miles down
from the place of the explosion. Many
of those who were fortunate enough to
be aft of the engine escaped to the
shore; others were burned alive as
they lay mangled and scalded. Two
hundred and thirty-nine human beings
killed or dreadfully hurt was the price
paid for the effort to determine which
of these boats was the faster.

Whether You do 1t Yourself or Go to a

There is story told of French no
bleman who, when he had been shaved
in the morning, always heard the man
mutter: Thank heaven!" on leaving
the room. He inquired thecause. "It
is the money, my lord, you always
leave on your table over night (for he
was gambler). Every morning I say
to myself: 4 must cut his throat and
am truly thankful to have escaped the
temptation" After which confession
the noblemsn shaved himself It ia
quite extraordinary-how many people
and even poor people-employ BARRIERS
to shave them, partly from conscious
ness of their own clumsiness ("What
do you give the man who shaves you?"
inquired some one of Macaulay. "Sev-
eral cuts on the face" was his reply).
but chiefly from their inability to strop
the razors. If there is an industry that
makes use of old strops with cuts) I
shall be happy to supply them at whole

don Illustrated News. That there is
no machine for stropping razors speaks
volumes for the power and intelligence
OF the Barbers' company
Nevertheless, for man who has al
ways shaved himself the employment
OF another person to do it for him

humiliation of being taken by the
nose, rather a serious business One

COTTON AND TOBACCO.

Old-Time Prices of These Commodities In
the South.
1--WE have before u.s." saws the Rich.
mond journal of Commerce, 'sales OF
two bales of cotton and two hogsheads
OF tobacco sold at Norfolk, Va, June
9, 1881, by James Gordon, lifetime
commission merchant of that city. The
weights of the bales of cotton were 312
and $50 pounds. Price, OK cents-net
sales, $61.24. Weight of the two hogs
heads of tobacco, 1875 and l,476
pounds Price, 81. so and 1926 per 100
pounds Net sales of both, S6s. .35.
The accompanying letter says: L fear
you will be disappointed in the sales of
the tobacco. l confess it seems to me
low price, but assure you nothing
better can be done here
I'VE are not posted as to how long
after this leaf tobacco was sold that
Norfolk continued tobacco market.
Wonder if a treaty was ever entered
into between Norfolk and Richmond,
that the one should sell cotton and the
other tobacco without business compe-
tltion. If we SO conclude the treaty
was like that of William Penn and
the Indians, unwritten-for it has been
faithfully kept to the present day.
The tobacco farmer of the hour
may CLEAN ray of consolation as he
contemplates the price of tobacco in
1881 and compares it with its value in
1898, and consoles himself with the
knowledge that our fathers received
less than present prices"
