Sources Of Ivory.

African ivory Is now conceded to be
the 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 tusks. The ivory from equatorial
Africa Is closer in the grain and has
les. tendency TO become yellow by OK
posurc than Indian ivory.
The finest transparent African ivory
IS collected along the west coast, be-
tween attitudes 10 degrees north and
10 degrees south. and this is believed
to GctCrioratc in quality and to be more
liable to damage with increase of lati-
tude in either direction. The whitCSt
ivory comes from the east coast It is
considered to be- IN best condition when
recently cut. IT has then mellow,
warm. transparent tint, as n soaked
in Gil, and very little appearance OF
grain or texture.
Indian ivory has a nopaque white
color and a tendency to become dis
colorcd OF the Asian varieties Siam
Is considered to be the finest being
much superior in appearance and den
sity. The ivory OF the mammoth tusks
Is not very much estc@ncd, particularly
in England. 1t is considered too dry
and brittle for elaborate work, besides
which It is very Liable to turn yellow
As a matter Of fact. the largest tusks
very rarely leave Asintic Russia, being
too rotten for industrial purposes. -

How Women Hide Jewels

The average woman carries her treasures
in small leather bag slipped inside her
corset. but this is out of the question with
women who own from $50 900 to 100000
worth of jewels. Not only would the load
be cumbersome, but Injurious. Any con-
tinued pressure of clothes or bone against
woman g bosom is hurtful, but the burden
of gold or stones would undoubtedly create
cancer. A physician whom l queried on
the subject said that he had instituted a
crusade against the habit. A woman's
breast, he remarked, was one of the most
sensitive spots to cancerous growth, there
fore the slightest pressure there should be
avoided.
well-known actress who owns a few
dozens of diamonds has had several little
bags made that are fastened with safety
pins along the lines of her stocking sup
porters. These supporters consist of four
strong silk elastic straps depending from
small satin belt, which she fastens secure
ly about her waist, giving it additional
safety by doubly pipnipg it to her corsets.
So down the straps, which are kept taut by
the stockings. are fastened these little
jewel cases. She says they do not interfere
at all with her walking, but. as she is a
poor pedestrienne. it would scarcely do to
take her word for it.

upon the voice. Artists regard the violet
as the flower which especially causes
hoarseness. The rose, on the contrary, is
regarded as inoffensive. 1t is contended
by some that the emanations Of the violet
may prevent free vibration of the vocal
cords, but it Is probably simply matter
of individual susceptibility or olfactory
idiosyncrasy.
The Prussian College of Medicine has
made a report on vocal instruction in
schools. Singing the higher notes is found
to be injurious to vocal organs in children
6 or yers old. This is true, too, of the
lower notes. To avoid straining of the vo-
cal cords, children of this age should be
confined to the middle register.
