HE MADE A HOME RUN"
His Wife Lifted Him Out of His
Shoes at Every Stroke

There appeared in this city day
or two ago, a gentleman and lady,
whose business was that of selling
magnifying glasses
Yesterday business was quite
good, for it seems that every man
who crowded around the goods box
the gentleman did business behind,
felt in need Of just such glass, and
they all bought. The dealer filled
his pockets full of quarters by this
transaction, and he proceeded last
night to invest his money in other
"glasses," these glasses being
filed with 'hop ale. "
When Wright's saloon was filed
to the fullest with men buying
glasses and feeling good over
their investment, a new conner of
the feminine gender, walked in with
club and took a survey OF the out
fit.
She soon discovered her husband,
he of the magnifying glasses, and
she said, "You scoundrel, here you
are spending your money and I'm
starving to DEATH With this the
club descended in rapid succession,
and the husband started out to
make a home run, with the little
woman right at his heels laying it
on to him
The loungers at Wright's all rush
ed to the door and yelled "Give it
to him, he needs it," They were
lost in the shadow of some build
ings.
If you see a man with his head
tied up, today, and his arms in
sling, you can bet it is he OF the

AFRICAN IVORY is THE BEST.
More Durable and Capable of Higher
Artistic Uses Than Any Other.


African ivory is now conceded to be
tie finest. The first quality of this
comes from near the equator, and it
has been remarked with regard to this
fact that the nearer the equator the
smaller is the elephant, but the larger
the tushs. The ivory from cquato-
rial Africa, says Chambers Journal, is
closer in the grain and has less ten
GSNcy to become yellow by exposure
Chan Indian ivory. The finest trans
parent African ivory is collected along
the west coast between ATTITUDES ten
degrees north and ten south, and this
is believed to dcteriorate in quality and
to lie moro liable to damage with in
crease of latitude in either direction.
The whitest ivory comes from the east
coast. 1t is considered to be in best
condition when recently cut; it has
then mellow, warm, transparent tint,
;ss if soaked in oil, and very little ap-
peuranCe of grain or texture. Indian
ivory has an Opaque, dead white color,
and tendency to become discolored.
Of the Asian variety Siam is consid-
cred to lie the finest, being much supe-
rior in appearance and density. The
ivory of the mammoth tusks is not
very much esteemed, particularly in
England; it is considered too dry and
brittle for elaborate work, besides
which it is very liable to turn yellow.
As n matter of fact, the larger tusks
very rarely leave Asiatic Russia, being
TOO rotten for industrial purposes.
