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
a 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 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, complete inner
circle was eventually loosened, the cir
cles themselves afterward being cut into
the required pattern. Chambers Jour

a Bridal Bouquet.

A German horticultural journal is
responsible for this story about bridal
bouquet: A certain schoolteacher in
the town of Konitz had ordered bou-
quet for his wedding day, STIMULATING
that it should not cost more than
marks ($D, but not designating what
kind of flowers should be selected. 1t
was in the autumn, when dollhouse
flowers were few and dear, so the for
list composed it of white dahlias, but
the bride and her family declaring that
these flowers were unfit for the purpose
the schoolteacher returned the bouquet
to its maker and refused to pay for it.
The florist then sued him, but the
position of the schoolmaster was sus-
tanned in court, in accordance with the
testimony of experts in matters of taste
whom he had called in and who echoed
the opinion of the bride.
A similar result followed upon an
appeal to a higher court, despite the
testimony of experts now summoned by
the florist, and the florist was ord cred
to pay the costs of the suit, amounting
to 500 marks.

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.

you my friend, Mr.. Booker, who is a

Booker did, and the merchant, seeing
the trick, burst out into hearty guffaw

ness, would probably have been shown
