said, was just ending.

of one of her humblest subjects.

Even the willy governess, affecting a
feeling Of generosity, ventured to inter-

Cut two slices, one larger than the

and you will have a fiat side for it to
stand on, while the broader fiat piece
will form the seat of the sofa. Cut off
a piece of cloth large enough to cover

put them at one end for the "head" of

ivory may soon be exhausted. At least
sixty thousand elephants are slaugh-

demand. The value of ivory depends
somewhat on The locality from which
it comes. West African ivt1,y is the
most valuable. It is exceedingly fine
grained, and somefo Of the choicest speci-
mems have the semi-transparent APP
p%earance of onyx. The best ivory comes
from animals found in very warm and
humid atmospheres. In %northerly stu
atoms, where the air is cooler and dry,
the product is parse and harsh, lacking
the velvety elasticity of the other.
Guinea ivory is slightly green
ish at first, but Whitens upon
exposure to the air and light.
Vegetable ivory is obtained from taqua
seed, and is a valuable substitute for
the real article. There are several
manufactured iyories, of WhiaSt cellu-
loid is best known and is, pY1sqs, the
most valuable. IN view dFiEe enor-
nous consumption of iyory''fheI estab-
lishment of elephant farms is sug-
gested. The animals are extremely do
Gle in captivity, and when reared with
domestic surroundings are manageable

His Alcoholic Ereath Caught Fire and He
WAS Burned to Death
The manufacture of distilled spirits,
locally known as hoochinoo, has been
carried on by the natives of Alaska for
a long period, and at times during the
early days of the Cassiar excitemcnts it
was freely purchased by the white mi
ners as the only liquor obtainable, ow-
ing to the strict enforcement of the pro-
hibitory clause against the importation
OF liquors in the territory. Hoochinoo,
says the Alaska Mining Record, is moth
ing more or less than raw alcohol, being
distilled mainly from brown sugar or
molasses and corn meal Undiluted
the stuff has n double-proof strength,

an Indian, with his coppcr-lined stom-
! ach, can stand a,protracted spree on it.
The Kake indians probably lead all
others in the manufacture of these
spirits, and as proof of their knowledge
In the art of making a double-proof ar
.ticle, we give the, particulars of the
awful fate of an expert Kake distiller,
which happened recently on that is
land. .sr
1t seems that this Indian, while en-
gagged in;the manipulation of his little
coal-oil can still, imbibed too freely of
itS triclSfings, and in drunken stupor
lay down by his fire of cedar logs and
fell asleep with his face uncomfortable
close tothe fireand his breath tanning
the flames. Through some reason known
only to the medical fraternity gas ac-
cunulated in the stomach, and the.
breath of; the sleeper reaching the
flames this alcoholic gas ignited. The
sleeper suddenly leaped to his feet
with Il terrifying scream, and fell back
again writhing in agony. The man
was burning internally. Smoke and
even flames were issuing from his
mouth, and his agony was something
awful. His loud screeches brought the
members of the camp about him, who
looked on in silent, terror-stricken
awe, unable to do anything for his re-
lief. The combustion continued until
the Indian was literally consumed in
side and for sometime after the spirit
of life had fed.

MAKING THE BEST OF IT..

"A Chinese Papsr's Method of Reporting
Victory by tho Japs.
After the Chinese defeat at Kaiping
December 90 the Shen-pao, an infiuen-
tial Peking journal, published the fol-
lowing:
"a Cheefoo scholar writes us that an
important battle has just occurred at
Kaiping. An overwhelming army of
Japanese made q cowardly attack upon
the fearless Gen. Sung Ching, thinking
to take him unawares. But that great
soldier is always vigilant and routed
his foes with great slaughter, killing
over three thousand and driving the
rest back thirty-five miles without
losing over ten men himself. Evening
coming on, and everyone being tired
from the hard labor of the day, Gen.
Sung thoughtfully ordered all his men
to lie down and rest, while he slept
likewise. He had not been in bed more
than an hour or two when he was dis
turbed blythe Japanese, who, contrary
to all usages of war, again assailed his
camp. He was naturally indignant
and ordered a lieutenant to drive the
wretches away SO that he could finish
his slumbers. The officer did the best
he could, but, being wounded and his
troops being panic-stricken blythe cold,
he and his men turned and retreated,
being pursued by the Japanese. This
turned the camp into great disorder
and resulted in deepunhappiness. Gen.
Sung perceived this.a and ordered re-
treat at full speed. His forces quickly
outmarched the enemy, so that at morn
ing the whereabouts of the Japanese
was unknown, from which ltis inferred
that they had fed. While the tents,
guns and ammunitions were left be-
hind, the banners, fngs and umbrellas
were all safely brought away. Gen.
Sung, in view of the urgency of the sit
uation, has applied TO Pelsing for fifty
thousand reenforcements."
