A PASSION FOB IVORY.
Princess Maud OF Wales Has Almost
a Museum.

The Princess Maud of Wales has a
passion for ivory. This somewhat rare
and costly hobby has been ridden by her
to such purpose that 1t would be
no misuse of words to speak of her col
lection as a museum. The specimens most
priced are the full sized tusks of ele-
plants shot in India by her father and
by the Duke of Conuaught. Not long
since the Emperor of Russia sent to his
cousin some wild boar tusks taken from
animals shot by himself. The Princess
has a lage number of tusks and teeth of
other animals, mostly the gifts OF the
hunters of her family and of her large
circle of -acQuaintances, and among these
walruses and lions, sharks and seals, al
ligators and swordfishes are amply re-
presented. Exchang
