THE ELEPHANTS TUSKS.
Some Interesting Facts About the Ivory
They Furnish.

Strictly speaking, ivory is equiva-
lent to dentine, the hard substance Of
which most teeth chiefly consist; but,
as commonly accepted, ivory means the
dentine of those teeth that are large
enough to be of use for industrial pur-
poses, such as the tusks of the elephant,
the narwhal, the hippopotamus, the
walrus and the sperm whale. The tusks
of the elephant are pair Of upper in
cisor teeth which often grow to an
enormous size The extinct mammoths
possessed the largest tusks. The Afri-
can species have the largest teeth of
any of the recent elephants. Among the
many curiosities to be seen at the Lon
don exhibition of 1851, was a pair of
African tusks that measured eight feet
and six inches in length and twenty
two inches in circumference, and to-
gether weighed 325 pounds. The aver
age weight, however, of the African
tusks is from twenty to fifty pounds.
Captive elephants usually have their
tusks shortened, and the ends bound
with metal to keep them from splitting
but the tusks continue to grow by rea-
son Of the conversion of vascular pulp
into ivory, and the shortening opera
llGN mas u Dt repeated at intervals.
The value of ivory depends upon the
size of the tusks; those weighing less
than six pounds are not worth more
than half the price per pound of really
fine tusks. The tusks of the narwhal
and the walrus, the teeth of sperm
whales, the ear-bcnes of whales, and
the molar teeth Of the elephant are all
made use of as sources Of ivory, though
they are not so valuable as the larger
tusks. The best and finest quality
comes from equatorial Africa. 1t is
much closer in grain than Indian ivory,
and has less tendency TO become yell
low when exposed, 1t is semi-trans-
parent and of warm color when first
clIt, and in this state 1t is called green
ivory, as the water dries out of it, 1t
becomes much lighter in color and more
Opaque.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

This was only one of unnumbered
acts of similar character that went
to the credit of Wendell Phillips in
those books which are kept IN the
invisible country. A fitting inscription
for his monument would be the lines
in which James Russell Lowell has
embalmed his memory:
He stood upon the world broad threshold wide
The din Of battle and OF slaughter rose;
Ha saw God stand upon the weaker side
That sunk in seeming loss before Its foes.
Therefore be went
And ioir ed him to he weaker part,
Fanatic ramed, and fool yet well content

And feel its solemn pulses sending blood
Through al the wide opeIed veins of endless
good

HORSE FLESH IS FOOD.
No Local Demand For That Sort of Diet

No Local Demand For That Sort Of Diet as Yet
 A Danish family in Hartford is as sured 0 good and abundant supply of meat for the winter, and the store is now on hand and ready for the table as needed To be sure it is horse meat, but the family became accustomed to that particular variety of food in their native country and prefer it to all oth- CT kinds of meat.
 Their getting the supply now came about in this fashion: Some time ago the father of the family asked Agent Thrall of the Humane society to be on the lookout and let him know when a young horse should be killed by the society. He was particular that the animal should be young one and in sound and perfect health; saying that if he could get such a horse he would like to procure it and have it prepared for food to be used in his home.
 The opportunity came to MT Thrall on Wednesday, when under the direc- tlon of the Humane society the horse which broke a leg, by catching foot in a trolley car track near the South Green, was shot to put him out of nris- cry. The animal, gray, was about four years old, sound and healthy and quite fat MT. Thrall notified the Dane that he could have the horse by taking 1t away.
 The Dane sent for the animal and had it carried to his residence, where a friend of his, a butcher, dressed it in the same manner as beef is pre- pared for the table. When dressed the meat presented a very attractive ap- paarance. The roasting pieces and steak were reserved to be eaten fresh, while the fore and hind legs were smoked. The balance of the carcass was salted down as beef is and stored Tn barrels
 In all about TOO pounds of good meat was obtained. In flavor the fresh sweeter to the taste than beef and also somewhat drier. There is nothing objectionable whatever about it, either fin flavor or appearance. In other coun- tries the flesh of the horse is held in high esteem and it is not improbable that in the near future it will become common in this country. Agent Thrall says that there are a. large number of families in Hartford at the present time who prefer horse flesh as food to that of any other meat As in the case of beef, of course the animal should be young and in good condition.

4 SAD BERE.4TEMENT.

A large circle of friends will deeply sympa thize with the ber5aved family in the death, which occurred early last evening, of Everett Griswold Kimberly, aged twenty-five years, only son of MT. and Mrs. l.. A. Kimberly of No. + Syl- van avenue. All that devoted love, un- ceasing care and the best medical skill could do were unavailing to check the progress the disease to which deceased finally succumbed. Many months were spent in the Adirondacks, in the warmeI cline of Florida and on the old farm ill Guilford in the hope of regaining health. His death will be sincerely mourned. He was an exceptionally excellent young man, devoted ito his parents, a kind son and brother, a warm and un- selfish friend. He was for two and a half years assistant bookkeeper for Benedict, Downs & Co.,, the wholesala coal merchants of this city, and was much beloved by his employees, who, when failing health compelled him to leave their service about three years ago, still retained their interest in him and his welfare, and gave many kind evidences of their warm appreciation of his lovable character all through the years of his declining health. He was a native of this city and educated at the Guilford high school, his parents having for years resided in Guilford He attended divine service when iE Guilford at the First Congregational church there and since the family's re- turn to this city had attended the Church of the Ascension. He was in recent years, when health permitted an active member of the New Haven Y. M. c. A. He leaves, beside his par ents, two sisters and a host of friends The Rev. MT. Mulford will offioiate at the funeral services in this city to- morrow forenoon at 9:30, and Rev. MT Mulford and Rev. MT. Snow of the First church, Guilford, will officiate at the services in Guilford. The interment will foe in the family's cemetery in that town.

KentnckY RepmbIicans.

Emin5nce, Ky, Dec. 11.-Thirty shots were fired upon a train load of Louis vile republicans at this place last night as they were returning from the inaug- uration of Governor Bradley, All the windows in the last car of the long train which left Frankfort at 7:30 D. m. were shot out and the bullets tore off a great number of splinters of woodwork in the coach.
 There were several women in the coach At the first volsy everybody lay flat on the floor. The firing continued rapidly. The train was just slowing up at Eminence, and in a moment it came to a standstill. Three men were seen in the dark along the track, and as tha train started up again ten more shots were fired through the windows.
 Only one person was hurt. A mans neck was cut by one of the heavy pieces of glass that flew in all directions through the car. Many members of the Garfl-td club of Louisville were in the coach.

fl GREAT STRIKE.
Shipbuilders' Strike Ended.

Glasgow, Dec. 1.-The great ship building strike has been settled. The masters have agreed to grant the Clyde men a shilling a week advance imme- in February. The strike has also been settled in Belfast, where the men will get a shilling advance in February. The settlement was undoubtedly brought about by the fact that both Clyde and other shipbuilding firms were in danger of losing important contracts to build foreign war-ships, orders for some of which have already been trans ferred to German concerns.
 The strike began at Belfast on Oc- tober II. when 5000 engineers and their assistants refused to work any longer without restoration of the wage rate previous to 1892. The employers urged that, though the yards were full of work, they had accepted contracts at such unremunerative rates that they could not afford to increase wages until these contracts were completed. An important feature of the strike was the fact that two yards on the Clyde, the Thomson's and the Fairfleld's, which closed in sympathy with the Belfast companies, had government work which they were asked to push forward to the utmost. The Clyde companies sub sequently locked out their employees. When the strike was in full sway it was estimated that more than 10000 persons were affected. the coal and iron industries being considerably hampered by the ship-building striks
