The present proprietor OF Monticello,

1. N. Ford, the London correspondent
OF the New York Tribune, cables the
following news item: "Sir Thomas Lip
ton has selected his racing flag for the
Shamrock. 1t will bear shamrock in
green on a gold ground, bordered with
an edging of green Sir Thomas, though
loyal Briton, is also patriotic Irish
man, and he intends to win or lose the
Americas cup under the distinctive color
and emblem of Ireland" How Sir Thorn
as can be "a loyal Briton" and patriotic
Irishman" at the same time passes our
comprehension. The fact that he has
been krighted is sufficient evidence OF
his lack of Irish patriotism. Sir Thorn
as is sailing under false colors, in our
estimation, and we hope the America
cup will not be carried off by him.

GUTTA-PERCHA SCARCE.
Difficult to Get Enough for a Pacific
Gable.

Gable.
In connection with the Pacific cable
a very interesting question arises, says
the Engineering Magazine. From
where is the gu~tta-percha for this gi-
gantic cable to come? Every whisper
of the construction of a transpacific
line sends the gutta-percha market at
Singapore up by leaps and bounds. The
ruling price of the gun is the highest
that has ever obtained. 1t is stated,
on what authority it is hard to say,
that the visible supply of gutta-percha
is insufficient for the task, and that if
this cable is laid it will be the last-the
last with a gutta-percha insulation at
least.
While this pessimism on the part of
the gutta-percha producers savors
somewhat of a desire to stiffen the
market, there is yet a sufficiently rea-
sonable foundation for it in the wanton
destruction of the g~utta-percha forests.
1t will be interesting to see the out
come of the situation. If the United
States acquires an island in the Caro-
lines the building of the cable line
seems possible, though expensive. If
they do not find a landing place the
operation of the cable seems to require
a prohibitively costly plant. And
meanwhile there is the question of the
disappearing gutta-percha tree.

What's in a name? A cynic tried
registering at European hotels al plain
John Smith. He got a cold, dark room
at the top Of the house. At the next
place he prefixed judge to his name,
and was given better quarters. At the
next place he registered as Hon" and
came down a floor; presently he was
Major" and got a bathroom attached
to his next quarters. AS he moved
from place to place he increased his
Importance. AS Colonel he was CIV
en- the best suite in the house at a
discount. So runs the story, but not

and act in keeping with them.

Minerva, why didn't you SEND it

Jonathan Dobbs, will you tell me
what all this means?" she asked, frig-
idly.
He held out the scarf. why didn't
you send it back, if you didn't want
me?"
Miss Minerva stared at him in ever

Miss Minerva rose impatiently.
What are you talking about? What
have l to do with that silk thing?"
We'll, Minerva, I'll go over the
whole thing. l s'pose you remember

you took it all for earnest. Now.
had it in mind for a long time to ask
you a certain question, and a day or
two after our misunderstanding l was
down to the city on business and saw
a lot of silk things like this in a shop
window, and the ladies was a-wearin'
them around their necks, so l just
thought I'd buy one and send 1t to
you and at the same time ask you that
question. 1t was tellin' you II you was
willin' to be Mrs. Dobbs to wear it
to meetin' the next Sunday, and If not
to send it back. But you didn't wear
it to meetin' and you didn't send it
back"
AS Miss Minerva listened her stern

in her eyes. Before Mr.. Dobbs had fin

deepened in Miss Minerva's cheeks and
there was none of her accustomed Sc

She looked down at the scarf in Mr..
Dobb's hand. But where did you get
it now?" she asked, suddenly.

The Ideal Female Arm.

81 md great difficulty in getting a
model with good arms" said a we'll
known sculptor recently. ut is as
tonishing how few women there are
with arms hat conform to the stand
ard. A perfect arm, measured from
the wrist joint to the armpit, should
be twice the length of the head. The
upper part of the arm should be large,
full and well rounded. There should
be a dimple at the elbow. The fore
arm must not be too fiat, not nearly
so fat as a mans, for instance. From
a well-molded shoulder the whole arm
should taper in long, graceful curves
to a well-rounded wrist"

Diet OF q Sick Elephant.

An elephants sick diet is recorded
as the result of an illness at the ZOO
logical gardens at Frankfort-on-the-
Main. A female elephant there sud
denly refused food, groaned contin-
ually, "wept," it is said, and became
weaker and weaker. She was given
draughts of brandy (pints), and re-
duced to a diet of Cruel three times a
day, each bucket containing forty
quarts. She o recovered, but the
dieting still continued, and the last
bulletin describes her present diet at
thirty buns, a hundred weight of hay
daily and suitable drinks.
