THE RETORT DESERVED.
After Which the Young Person Ceased to
Patronize.


Here is little story of the retort 6e-
served: Two young women met this
summer at certain resort and re-
newed an old-time acquaintance. One
of them had become in the interim a
young person of considerable impor-
lance in the way of wealth and her own
opinion. She was rather used to
patronizing people, and undertook this
sort of thing with the other young
woman. One day they were coming
out of the dining room together, and
the young person began:
II was thinking OF you last night,
and if you won't be angry I'll tell
you"
The other replied: II make no prom.
ises."
The young person went on; 'Oh,
we'll, will risk it. ] was thinking
how much you have improved. |
think l never saw anyone improve so
much"
Her companion smiled little and
thanked her, and then she laughed.
why do you laugh in that way?''
questioned the young person.
81 was thinking" was the answer,
show much you must have improved
to notice the change"
And the young person did not patron.
ize her any more.-Utica Herald.

ELEPHANTS TUsKs.
Some Interesting Facts About the Ivory
They Furnish.

Strictly speaking, ivory is equivalent
TO dentine, the hard sustance OF which
most teeth chiefly consist; but, as COM
monty accepted, ivory means the dem
tine of those teeth that age large
enough TO be used for industrial pur-
poses such as the tusls of the ele-
plant, the narwhal, the hippopotamus,
the walrus and the sperm whale.
The tuslSs of the elephant are pair
OF upper incisor teeth, which often
grow to an enormous size. The ex-
tinct mammoths possessed the largest
tusls The African species have the
largest teeth of any of the recent ele-
plants.
Among the many curiosities to be
seen at the London exhibition of 1851
was a pair of African tusks that meas
ured eight feet and six inches in length
and twenty-five inches in circumfor-
ence, and together weighed three hun
dred and twenty-five pounds. The
average weight, however, of the Afri-
can tusks is from twenty to fifty
pounds.
Captive elephants usually have their
tusks shortened, and the ends bound
with metal to keep them from split
ting, but the tusks continue to grow
by reason OF the conversion of vascu-
lar pulp into ivory, and the shorten
ing operation has to be repeated at in
tervals. The value of ivory depends
upon the size of the tuslSs; those
weighing less than six pounds are not
worth more than half the price per
pound of really fine tuslSs
The tusks of the norwhal and the
walrus, the teeth of sperm whales the
ear bones of whales and the molar
teeth of the elephant are 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 yellow
when exposed.
1t is semi-transparent and of a warm
color when first cut, and in this state
it is called green" ivory; as the wa
ter dries out of it, it becomes much
lighter in color and more Opaque.
Ivory takes a variety of dyes we'll,
without interfering with the polish of
its furface. 1t is in the east, among
the Chinese and Japanese, that it is
now more highly priced and less elab-
orately worked into decorative forms.
Their lace-lilSe, open-work fans, boxes,
carved trays and carved nests of con-
centric ivory balls are puzzles of'deli-
icate workmanship.
All tusks are sold by weight, and
they are quite expensive. Because Of
their high price, ivory-cutters take
great care to cut up the tuslSs to the
best advantage, All ivory dusC, chips
and pieces not available for working
are, by prolonged boiling, made into
gelatlne, or calcined into ivory black.

A TRICK or NAPOLEON'S.
The Shrewd Scheme by Which He Wa;
Elected First Consul.

Elected First Consul.
On December 90, before the result of
the plebiscite was known, the new
charter had already been put in opera
ton. 1t is difficult to determine ex-
actly the composition of the assembly
which met at the Luxembourg palace
to determine who should be the per-
manent consuls. According to an
anecdote of the time, Sieyes opened it's
proceedings by explaining the dangers
of military despotism should the
first consul be a soldier. Bonaparte
impressively whispered to his support
ers that they should scatter them
selves throughout the room, and
that when they saw him take
Sieyes' hand they should shout,
''Bravo-Bonaparte!" Then, stepping
forward at the close of Sieyes' address,
he assumed an air of generous friend
illness, and said: LET us have no differ
ence of opinion, my friend; for my part,
vote for Able Sieyes. For whom do
you voter"
Taken all abaclx, Sieyes murmured:
II vote for Gen. Bonaparte." Instantly
the latter put out his hand and the
speaker grasped it. "Bravo-Bona-
parte!" rang from all sides, and Sieyes'
supporters joined in the shout. Thus,
apparently by general consent, the
shrewd intriguer was acclaimed first
consul. At all events, Bonaparte took
| the office of first consul to himself with
out question on the part of the pub
lie His two colleagues were to be
chosen by the constitutional committee.
The named Daunou as one, but Bona
parte would not listen. and threw the
ballots into the fire. Sieyes obliging-
ly presented two other names-"the
right men," as he assured the commit
tee - Cambaceres and Lebrun. The
former was an eminent jurist the lat
ter the ablest financier of his time.
Both were appointed, and both rem
dered excellent service to the consul
ate.
Sieyes had already been made "keep-
err" of the directory's secret funds
six hundred thousand francs-which
he called tune poire pour la soft"
Soon afterward he accepted a great
estate (Crosne) from the first consul
for his services, He was then rele-
gated to obscurity as chief of the sem
ate. The other great officials were all
appointed in much the same way.

fish," said pretty Nine. Permon to the

THE EAR IN CHILDHOOD.
Serious Results May Follow Inattention
In This Matter.

Defective hearing is a trouble that
many children labor under, caused oc.
casiorally by disease, but oftentimes
by lack of proper care of the ear pas
sages. 1t is sometimes the case that
the dullness and inattention of
scholar is due to impaired hearing;
and the inability to hear distinctly all
that is said by teachers and pupils
gives the poor child the appearance of
being needless and inattentive.
The waxy secretion found in the ears
is natures own method of keeping the
ear passages In healthy condition.
There is frequently, however, an ex-
cess of this wax, and occasionally it
happens that in cleaning the child's
ears the excess wax is pushed further
into the ear passages. Repetitions Of
this process cause the wax to become
packed, causing gradual loss of the
hearing power. Too much stress can
not be laid upon the fact that pins and
such articles should not be used in the
care of the ears, as serious injury is
liable from the article entering too far.
Glycerine and warm water in equal
parts is a mixture land the best one)
that will dissolve and remove the wax.
Apply gently with small syringe.
Should there be, at any time, any
thing in the nature of discharges from
either ear, physicians advice should
be sought without delay. In such cases
| there is almost certain to be some dis
ease of the inner ear passage requiring
medical attention.
Prompt attention will probably save
the child serious impairment of hear
ing, IL not utter loss.
1t should be noted that teething
may have close relationships trouble
in the ears, due to the swelling and In.
fammation of the gums. This inflam-
nation is liable to extend through the
eustachian canals TO the ears; and any
tenderness, accompanied by redness
around the ears, is sufficient indica.

attention to the matter. Mothers De.

THE BRIDAL CARRIERS.
Good Luck In Matrimony Follows the Girl
who Makes Them.

At all times gartars have been consid-
cred very important details of woman's
dress, and always associated in some
manner with matrimony. Down
through half dozen centuries comes
to us the custom practiced to-day of
having the garters as finishing touch
to a brides toilet. The particular girl
friend who is permitted to slip them
into place is conceded to stand the best
possible chance of wedding happily be-
fore twelve months are out.
A prospect Of near and blissful matri-
mony is also shared by the friend who
secures the privilege of making brides
carriers, the proper pattern for which is
now circle of white silk elastic COW
cred with embroidered white satin and
clasped by small gold buckle enam-
eled in white bow knots. The carriers
of Marie Antoinette were pretty pink
silk bands deliberately embroidered on
the upper half in tiny Jewels and gold
thread. In IN American family are
preserved the bridal carriers Of titled
English ancestress. These are of white
silk, nearly two inches broad, and dec
grated with round buttons made of seed
pearls, from which suspend pearl cords
and tassels two inches long.-Philadel-

by sucking ice and keeping the victim

A Way to sweeten Lard.

After frying doughnuts or fritters or
anything Of that kind shave off few
slices of potatoes when you are done
with the grease and drop them In the
sizzling fat; let them cook an instant
and then set on the back of the stove
to cool very slowly. In the course OF
half an hour remove to place to cool
more rapidly, and just before 1t gets
beyond the pouring stage strain
through cloth into clean jar. You
will aud that the lard is nearly as
sweet as ever, being only little darker,
which does not hurt 1t for frying cakes

Care of Shoes when Wet.

A woman dislilses to get her nice new
shoes wet because 1t spoils them SO;
but with care, the wetting will not hurt
them much. AS sooS rs the wet shoes
can be removed, rub them well with a
soft cloth to get some Of the dampness
out, and remove all the mud, then rub
them with cloth saturated with kero-
sene or vaseline. Get as much of the
oil into them as possible, and stuff the
shoes into shape, setting them aside for
q few hours. Another application Of
oil and rubbing will remove all stiff
ness, and the shoes will be in order
when wanted. Farm and Fireside.

To work this dainty little dolly you
viii need piece Of linen about nine
inches square. The fine pillow case
linen-which comes flfty-four inches
wide and one dollar per yard--you will
find the most satisfactory for this; and
hquarter of q yard will make you set
of six doilies, eight inches in diameter,
the size for finger bowls and bread and
butter plates. .,
To transfer the design to the linen:
II the design is the desired size, place
the linen over it, taking care to have
the center of the design and the linen
exactly together; pin them so they will
not slip, place on pane of glass which
can be leaned against the window,
when the design will show through the
linen and can be drawn very quickly
and easily with a sharp pencil.
Do not try to reproduce the design
with impression paper; 1t is almost sure
to soil your work, is difficult to cover,
and false line will not rub out-and
in needle work, perfect neatness is one
Of the first essentials of success.
Should it be necessary to enlarge the
pattern, the simplest way will be to
draw q circle on your linen about
eight inches in diameter. For this
purpose take q narrow strip of card
board and passing pin through the
| end, pass it through the center of the
linen firmly into table or lap-board.
Measure four inches along the card
board; pass the point and, holding the
pencil erect, describe circle on the
linen. In this way you will easily and
correctly draw circles of any size for
any purpose.
Having gotten the outside dimen'
sions Of your dolly, cut from bit Of
cardboard a scallop the size and shape
of this; place this on the linen with the
point touching the circle. A little ex
perimenting VIII teach you how fal
apart to place them, and in this way
the design may be adapted to any size
