Supply

A new development In the ivory trade
is reported. With the opening up OF
central Africa the elephant will have
to 20, and with it the African ivory
supply. II seems a strange subTersion
Of popular association Of ideas IN con
nection with the ivory market that the
supply Of the near future VIII be de-
rived, as travellers now maintain, not
from tropical lands, but from the
frozen regions Of the far north. 1t is
stated that the amount Of ivory that is
hidden in the ice fields of the polar re-
giOns defies estimate. The rapid de-
crease in the herds Of elephants In
Africa has turned the search OF meT-
chants into other directions, and the
industry is concentrating itself on sPe-
cial explorations for the finding OF the
remains of mammoths. Reports are
constantly coming in Of finds Of frozen
carcasses Of these huge beasts, valuable
for the mass Of ivory in their tusksy in
the tundras OF the north, mainly IN 81
IBERIA How the giant animals were able
to exist In the climate that has per
served their remains by freezing or
how they CHANGED to be overwhelmed
are problems not yet solved by science.
Mammoth ivory, however, is not by any
means a modern discovery. It was
known to the ancients, and for cen
turtles It has been used as an article Of
commerce and manufacture. Eighty
years ago the record OF one years sales
of ivory in the Yakutsk market exceed
ed 10000 pounds, and the annual sales
in that city from 1925 TO 1881 averaged
over $4,000 pounds. In 1910 1t was eA=d-
mated that the annual output Of 81
berian ivory reached 10000 pounds,
representing at least 100 individual
mammOths, and in 1875 II was estimat-
ed BY Baron NordensSjOld that the
worlds ivory markets had been en-
Hched by the remains Of fully 10000
Siberian mammoths since the con-
quest Of Siberia.-N. Y. Herald.

ADNTRAL pRRRY,s LIVER
he stIu Possesses An OF Il, NOfuith-
Hfanding the Popular Ia
preston.

There has been much talk in the
English as wei as the American press
about DeWey's physical condition.
Many accounts Of the operation per
formed by Sir James Nicholas Dick,
Z. c. B., have been printed which to 3
medical mans mind are not less than
weird. For instance, the statement
that Admiral Dewey lost a part Of his
liver during this operation has been
graveIy given place in solemn publica-
tons. No man has ever had any part
Of his liver removed and lived.
The writer was fortunate enough to
spend an evening with Sir James Mich
olas Dick recently. This distinguished
surgeon has for many years held an
honorable position in the British navy;
has recently retired on the age limit,
and now has a fashionable clientele in
the West End OF London. He is
genial, pleasant-faced gentleman, of
stOcly build, with cropped iron-gray
beard, and bald head. He looks much
younger than the 65 years which he
acknowledges. He said:
cit was in Malta when Dewey was
captain that operated on him, and it
is unquestiOnably true that If had
delayed my work a very short time
Dewey would not have been at Manila.
Death would have been certain.
"Of course, the story that removed
any part Of his liver is utterly absurd,
although 7 can readily understand how
q lay reporter might make such mis-
take. Nowadays when we can remove
kidneys and stomachs with practical
impunity, an operation on the liver does
not seem impossible.
'Dewey's trouble had been produced
by long residence in the tropics, where
he had been stationed for several years.
Liver diseases are much cOmmOner in
hot climates than in the temperate zone.
I was inspector general Of the marine
hospital service, and was called in con-
sultation by DR.. Webb, the American
ships surgeon. The case was pulling
and obscure, as such affections are like
" TO be, and DR.. Webb had failed to
make diagnosis. asked for the priv
lege Of introducing an exploring needle,
and the future admiral smilingly told
me to 60 ahead. The use Of this needle
is extremely painful, but he scarcely
WINGED. The wisdom Of this method
Of procedure was proved in fetF mo-
ments, when discovered pus.
"An abscess Of the liver is an extreme
" dangerous thing, and Dewey's was
q bad case. I drew out at least a pint
Of pus before I stopped. If Dewey had
not been promptly treated he would
certainly have died.
Dewey made a model patient. He
endured his pain like a stole, main
tanning absolutely complete cOmpO-
sure under the severest agony. I have
never known a man to stand suffering
better. Of course, Z had no idea then
Of the glory that would come to him
in few years, but I was deeply i'm
pressed by the mans self-cOntrol and
evident intellectual strength. st.

WHERE DIsnLUsIONs BEGIN.
Well to Make Before the Final
Question Is Put.

In the parlOr of a hotel recently the
conversation turned upon ill-assOrted
marriages, and especially upon the IL
lusions of the days Of cOurtship, and
one gentleman related his experience.
He had been charmed by a young, beau
tiful creature, whose attractiveness, so
he afterward found, lay largely in her
ability to set of her fine points through
tasteful dress and by little arts Of the
toilet. Her musical voice seemed like
a birds notes.
One morning ne conceived the idea Of
surprising her in her home In a suburb
Of the city. He wondered If he should
find her among the flower beds, and
was somewhat disappointed on arriving
at her home and looking around the
attractive lawn that he caught no
glimpse Of the one being, who made his
world. He stepped upon the yeranda,
and as he waited he heard a voice.
Could it be that Of the charmer7 It
could not be possible, for these were
the harsh shriu notes Of a scold. He
rang again, and the servant appeared.
He asked for the young lady, and then
through the haf-Open door he saw a
flying figure with hair in curI-papers
and disordered gown, and heard an ex-
clamation that he could not have mag
ined as coming from the delicate lips
Of the young creature. He hesitated.
Should he retreat2 He decided that it
was impossible for him to do so in good
order, so he waited in the parlor. He
confessed that he never could have told
just how he met the beauty when she
appeared IN her lovely negiigee gown,
her soft hair waving above the fair
brOw-tOo fair to be natural he found
now in the sOmber light of the morning
and of reason. The tones were sweet
and low, trained with marvellous skill,
be decided, as he compared them with
the voice that might have been that
Of a virago, still seeming TO echo
through the open doorway Of the wide
hall That was his last call upon the
one to whom he had expected to offer
his heart, hand and all that he pos
sessed.-AIary r. Baldwin, IN Woman's
Home Companion.

HOUSEHOLD BTTS
short suggestions for the Cook
Color In Furniture ana
Draperies.

Put sugar in the water used for hast
ing meats Of al kinds; It gives good
flavor, to veal especially.
The rules for roasting meat apply to
broiling, except that instead Of cooking
it in the oven it is to be quickly Drowned
first on one side and then on the 9TH
er, over a hot FIRE, and removed little
from the fire to finish cooking. Meat
an inch thick VIII broiI in about 20 min
utes. 1t should be seasoned after It IS
cooked.
When boiling chickens for salad or
pressed loaf, put in q quarter Of a
pound Of good salt POrk-it is an ex-
cellent seasoning. Shred the chickens
from the bones, press into mold and
pour the water (which has largely
boiled away over it, and it viii form
delicious jelly all through the bits Of
meat.
When boiling ham put in a cupful OF
black mOlasses, one onion, few cloves
and pepper-cOrns, adding q bunch Of
hay; it seasons finely. Let the ham
cool in the water in which It was boiled,
skin, rub with brown sugar and brown
in a slow oven for an hour, basting every
IS minutes with some Of the stock In
which it was cooked.
To make a palatable chicken broth,
cut fowl into quarters. Lay it in salt
and water an hour; put on in soup
kettle with an onion and four quarts
Of water. Bring very slowly to gentle
boil and keep this up until liquid has
diminished One-third and meat shrinks
from bones. Take out chicken, salt it
and set aside with cupful Of broth, in
bowl (covered), until next day. Season
rest Of broth and put back over fire. Boil
up and skim; add nearly cupful Of rice,
previously soaked in bowl OF water.
Cook slowly until rice is tender. Stir
cupfUl hot milk into two beaten eggs,
then into broth. Let all come barely
to boil. When you have added hand
full of finely minced parsley pour out
into tureen and serve.
Refurnishing sleeping apartments
has for most women an interest that is
wanting when they have to start out to
equip new rooms. Harmony Of color is
the first important element for the am
ateur decorator to have in mind. The
larger p5Fces of furniture, wan hang
ings anddaperiesm must be planned with
due reference to this fact, and expert
ments made day by day and artificial
light to test the combinations Of color.
A charming room, suggestive Of out
door life and pleasant memories, can be
devised by using violet and green for
the colOrs, and the flowers and leaves
Of the violet in the decorations. Fhis
scheme may be utilized TO advantage in
renovating a room in which either viO-
let or green has been adopted.
