African Ivory.

The commodity of Importance in
the export trade of the Niger is ivo-
ry, although this a hardly be re-
garded as an increasing trade. It is
mostly in the hands of hausa (na-
tive) merchants, who convey it vast
distances.
Few persons who finger their Two.
ry handled knives at dinner think
of tho enormous distances that have
boen traversed by the smooth, pleas
ant feeling material, of the incalcu-
liable labor it represents and of the
suffering and perchance bloodshed
which have marked its transit since
it fell with some mighty elephant in
q remote African jungle. Some who
know central Africa say that if it
were not for ivory the Haiding and
! selling of slaves would soon cease.
/, II this be true, then this beautiful
product of nature stands in the CIV
ilized world as the representative of
the traffic in human flesh, which
annually makes countless thousands

Tho Fault Of Biographies.

II think the mothod of construct.
ing our Biographies is I'LL wrong
said the ma in the neyligoe shirt us
he stopped a friend on the street
"Why?" asked tho other.
"They give q wrong impression to
ignorant minds" replied the man
with q negligee shirt. North is al
ways up in tho geography, you
know, and some people seem to have
an idea that there Is On up grade
whenever they go in that direction.
How do you figure that ous?"
II have discovered 1t by expert
ence with local express companies.
They charge me moro for carrying
a trunk north than they do south.
Two had a little bit of a trunk c,r-
riel twice from Woodlawn to Lake
View and twice from Lake View to
Woodlawn. Each trip from Wood
lawn to Lake Wow cost mo Is cents,
while each trip from Lake Wow to
Woodlawn cost mo 50. l tried to dis
cover = roason for it and failed.
Then i tried to explain to man in
the Office of the company that it was
no harder to carry tho trunk one
way than the other, but he Wouldn't
bavo it. He said it was rs cents
from Woodlawn to Lake View by
the rules of the company, and that
was all there was about it. but be
couldn't satisfactorily explain why
it showll be any less tho other way.
Then l tried to puzzlo it out again,
and the only conclusion l havo beon
able to como to is that they regard
trips to tho north rs up hill work,
and that's the fault Of tho geogra-
phios"-Chicayo Herald.

as Houldsworth g. Co. Of England
produced by their machinery cotton
yarn or cotton thread SO fine that
out of ono pound weight Of cotton
were spun 10, 600 hanks, or a thread

tho thread was too fine to be Of any
