INTER MADE OF IVORY.
Unique Present Rece,-,d by the bishop

of London.
From the London Chronicle: There
has just been presented to the bishop
OF London a inter which is the only
one OF its kind in the world, II Is of
FURNISHED ivory. with gold orphreys.
On the plaques or plates are written in
pure leaf gold the words Holiness 20
the Lord" in Hebrew. Greek. Latin and
English. These words. 1t will be re-
membered. were ordered to be written
on Aaron's miter-as II Is described In
Exodus xxviii-xxix. The Hebrew and
the English are on the front plates. The
lining is of crimson corded SILK. and
the lapels are the same covered with
cloth Of gold. each bearing a Greek
cross of thin ivory. Otherwise there Is
no adcrnment whatever, and the effect
generally Is at once plain and rich. The
shapes OF mitcrs have varied through
the ages. There seems to be little doubt
that the original linen inter prescribed
for Aaron was a fillet Of linen. But In
Exodus. xxx, it is ordered, Thou
shalt put the inter upon his head. and
put the holy crown upon the inter.
So that the effect OF the original high
priests inter was that OF a fllet with
a crown su%perposed. And so 1t has
been since the Christian church adopt
ed miters, there has been the fillet and
the crown. Ia the eastern church the
crown has almost concealed he fllet.
Miters in the west have been OF various
shapes. The papal tiara is a thrice
crowned inter. The Celtic and old En-
glish form il much lower than that
prevailing generally in the west. The
best known type OF the former Is the
Limerick miter-whose lines have been
here followed-which has been engrav-
ed times untold. Miters have been OF
linen. Of silk, Of gold and silver. and
all these plain or jeweled. 1t does not
appear to have occurred to anybody

How the Whale Escaped.

A whale is seldom caught mapping.
When, however. one Is walked from it's
after-dinner sleep by a passing vessel.
he makes off from the intruder in great
haste. The author of q recent book,
with Russian Pilgrims" has a good
story to tell of a whale thus disturbed.
One day at sea. when was chaplain
on the Vancouver, a big whale created
a sensation. The upper deck was COW
cred with loungers, for it was a lovely
summer afternoon. and all the deck
chairs had their novel reading occu-
pants. The whale was sleeping in the
sunshine. and suddenly felt his tail
tickled by the passing monster. He
leaped bodily out Of the water in his
anxiety to hurry away. The fashion
able crowd gave a shout; novels few
ard chairs emptied themselves quickly,
as every n rushed to the rail: but the
whale dived. and an infants voice said,

our flag from Honolulu than from the

Boulder will make a strong effort to

1t is now said that 125,0O0 feeding
lambs and wethers will be shipped this
year from Clayton, New Mexico, most
of them coming to Colorado. The
wool shipments from that point are es-
timated at 100000 pounds in the ag-

A. Y. Jones of Cheyenne, Wyoming,

the best fertilizer exists in the sheep

this should be made marketable. He
has a team camp outfit and grinding

for concentrated fertilizer to be used
In drills.
The cattlemen of Eagle county have
sent word to the Grundell brothers to
kill their sheep or they would do it for
them. Now, this is carrying things a
trifle too far. The Grundells keep in
their own enclosure only a few head
of Shropshires from which to obtain
mutton for the ranch hands in sum-
mer instead of having to kill beef
steers, and yet for this they are told
they must do away with their sheep.
