HOUSE.

The house to which President Lincoln
was carried to die after the fatal shot in
the Ford theater, which stands right OPP
posite, is to be repaired and preserved,
the last congress having appropriated
So. 1913. 80 for that purpose.
The house is an old-fashioned brick
structure, having been built in 1S49, and
has been sadly neglected in the matter
of repairs, until at present its very
foundations are unsafe, and every part
of the building needs attention. 1t was
not until two years ago that the govern
ment recognized the fitting propriety of
securing the house, where the last hours
of the martyred president were spent, and
preserving it as a memorial to future
generations, and at that time the title
was transferred to the United States from
Louis Schadc for a consideration OF
$50, 900.
The house was originally owned by
william Petersen. who lived in 1t at the
time of Lincoln's death. Mr.. Petersen sold
the property to Louis Schade, who was
the owner when the government took
possession. His price for the property was
1886. 900. but only an appropriation of $50,
900 being made for It's purchase, he de-
cided to accept that sum.

MA MOTH IVORY.

African ivory is likely to become grad
ually scarcer and sCarcer. and if there
were no other source of supply this beau
tiful substance would apparently soon
reach q prohibitiNe price. AS a matter
Of fact. there exists, however, in the
frozen tundras of Siberia, a supply of
ivory which will probably suffice for the
worlds consumption for many years to
come. This ivory is the product of the
mammoth tElephas p~rimigenius), a spe-
cies nearly allied to the Indian elephant
but protected from the cold of the Arctic
region by a coat Of long, coarse hair.
with a finer woolly under fur at the
base.
If we may take the buried ivory men
toned by Pliny on the authority of Theo-
phrastus, a risciple of Aristotle, to be
the same as mammoth ivory, we may re-
gard this substance as knoWmto the west
ern world in the time of Alexander. But
apart from this, mammoth ivory was
evidently familiar at a very remote time
to the Chinese, who spoke of the animal
by which it was yielded as citizenship"
the mouse that hides. This mythical
creature, which was compared in size
to an elephant, was reported to lead a
subterranean existence like a mole, with
bones as white as ivory, and the flesh

THE SAMOAN
Agreement
Some VeXed Points Must Yet
be Settled.
THE FINAL ARBITRATOR
King Oscar of Sweden May be Called
Upon Soon to Fix the Terms
of the New Treaty.

WASHINGTON. April 3.-Many cable dis
matches have been passing between
Washington and London in regard to
the Samoan settlement. The mann point
is on determining exactly the extent Of
authority which the high commission is
to possess, Lord Salisbury desiring all
uncertain points first cleared up and an
exact definition OF what the commission
is to do before committing Great Britain.
The British government is as ready as
the United States or Germany to accept
the general principle of commissioners,
but it wants to know in advance as to
the power of the commission. The indi-
cations are that the British authorities
will give their adherence to the agree
ment within a day or two, but it is stated
that there is still a chance, although a
very slight one. that the agreement may
not be concluded. The present negotia-
tons are concentrated on three mair
points, VIZ: First. is the commission tt
report or is it to have executive authority
to administer as we'll as to negotiate
and if so what is the extent Of it's eNecu-
tive power; second. will the action of the
commission be determined by a majority
or will UNANIMOUS action be required
third, If a majority determination is
agreed, what safeguards are to be pro.
vided to insure unanimous execution
The last point--as between majority o.
unanimous action-is a vexing one, ant
is the one which has arisen as between
the consular officials in Samoa, and it il
evident that Lord Salisbury hesitates tt
assent to any agreement which may re,
new this controversy. An agreement
upon King Oscar as final arbitrator woult
obviate a deadlock, but this, while pro
posed unoflicially during the recent dis
cussions, has not been assented to Off
claily.

A COCOANUT BY MAIL.

Boston Herald: One of the Strangest
parcels that Uncle SANS mail ever de-
livered to the Boston Herald Office arrived
yesterday morning in the shape of a
c%ocoanut pod, with the cOcoanut inside.
OF course, it was too big for the post
office box, and had to be handed over to
the Herald's messenger out of the WIN
dow, and, as it would not go into the mail
bag, had to be carried by hand. People
passing along Water street looked at 1t
curiously, for a cocoanut in the pod is an
unusual sight in this city, especially when
1t is plastered over with postage stamps.
The parcel came presumably from a
prominent Boston real estate man now
travelling in Cuba The stamps were
pasted directly on the pod, which Was
hard and smooth. There were thirteen
two-cent stamps, a carefully cam
celled, evidently by hand, and the Herald
mans name and address were inscribed
with a pen on the nut itself, as we'll as on
a sheet of paper pasted upon 1t.
The comments of the several p~ostoffice
employees who were obliged to handle the
curious parcel. if such it can be called in
the absence of any covering, may well be
imagined. 1t must have been more or less

Thousands of men in lonely homes call
up the pictures of the loved and lost ones,
who might still be happy husbands with
healthy babies prattling at their knees, if
they had only been a little more observant
and thoughtful. When a woE1an's COM
plexion gets pale and sallow and her eyes
look heavy; when she is evidently nervous
and respondent, and complains of pains
and aches and dragging down and burning
sensations; a wise man should know that
she is suffering from weakness or disease in
Il wor1anly way. The thoughtful man who
realizes this will at once advise his wife to
consult some eminent and skillful special
ist. He will know that the average physi-
clan will insist upon the obnoxious exam
i%naticns and local treatment so embarrass-
ing to modest, sensitive women. He should
know that these ordcals are unnecessary.
DR.. r. v. Pierce is an eminent and skillful
specialist, who has been for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,

ance of a staff of able physicians, he has
