ABOUT EBONY.
The Various Uses to Which the
Black Wood Is Put.

From the Jewellers Weekly.
Ebony was known and highly es-
teemed by the ancients as an article
of luxury, and was used by them for
variety of purposes. In India 1t is
said that 1t was employed by kings
for scepters and also for images. On
account of its supposed antagonism to
poisons it was used largely for drink
ing cups. Its use has extended con-
tiguouSly down to the present time,
and in England, as we'll as on the con-
tinent, it has always been held in high
esteem by the wealthy for toilet arti-
cles and boxes. In France particular
ly the manufacture of ebony goods has
attained a high degree of perfection.
Within a few years it's use in the Unit
ed States has increased remarkably,
in large measure, no doubt, on ac-
count of it's combination with silver,
which is believed to have originated
in this country. The striking contrast
of the dead black of the wood and the
brilliant white of the silver has from
the outset commended it to the Amer
lean people. This combination, II is
said, has now been introduced into
England and other European countries.
The silver mounting of the ebony
gives scope for the taste and original
ity of the silversmith. The style of
decoration most frequently used on the
larger pieces consists of a border of
scrolls, of flowers or of a combination
of scrolls and floral designs. The
variety and degree of elaboration of
the borders shown are almost endless.
Sometimes the border extends only half
way around the edge of the article.
A silver shield on which the initials
of the owner may be engraved Is gen.
orally placed in the center of the piece
This shield is occasionally replaced by
monogram, more or less elaborate,
which may be the only mounting used.
LARGE initials are also used instead
of a monogram. Another style of dec
Grafton consists of beaded edge of
silver. While the border Is occasional
ly used on smaller pieces, the decora-
| tion for these is generally confined TO
shield or monogram. The shield may
be combined with floral designs or
scrolls.
| The name ebony is given to the wood
of several varieties of trees. All kinds
of ebony are distinguished for their
great density OF dark color. The wood
/ in all varieties are heavier than water;
the heaviest varieties are the darkest.
| The other grades require a consider
able amount of staining TO make them
| black. Ebony Is of a uniform color
| throughout, and will not show any de-
| terioration even from long continued
use. There arr three varieties of
ebony well known in commerce. The
ebony from the Gaboon coast of Africa
is the darkest. The Madagascar ebony
is the densest. The Cacassar ebony
furnishes the largest pieces. Almost
all ebony is sent in the form of logs
TO London, and from there shipped 10

A TALKING MocKING BIRD.
A Songster That Is the Wonder of a
Georgia Town.

, From the Augusta (Ca) Herald
A mocking bird belonging to Mrs.
William Neill has actually been taught
by her to talk. 1t is very interesting,
! indeed, to hear it utter the words that
have, by persistent and painstaking ef-
forts, been taught it, The birds cog
nomen is Charlie, and it has a reputa-
tion that is envied by mocking bird
| owners. 1t mimics every noise it hears
If repeated a number of times, ana
can repeat all the call whistles that the
boys of the various cliques and clans
use as signals.
Mr.. Neill used to own a dog, and
their favorite call for the pet animal
was Hear, hear, hear, hear" and a
short whistle, and repeated. Now the
bird Charlie can call that dog as dis
tinctly as any person might 1t very
clearly says, Hear, hear (whistle) T;
hear, hear" etc.
While living at the Planters Hotel,
Mr.. and Mrs. Neil were frequently
treated to cat serenade, and the bird
| learned to mimic them to a surprising
degree. Now that they are residing in
| presumably a catless neighborhaad
they are often fooled by the bird, who
can NEW so much like q cat that
| one is loath TO believe that the sounds
issue from the birds throat unless ac-
tually standing near the cage.
Mr.. Neill used frequently to amuse
himself by saying to the bird. Tom
my, don't" Tommy, don't" and
sometimes, "Now, Tommy, don't" The
| bird has learend to say it now as
| distinctly as Mr., Neill himself.
on one of the chimneys of the house
| adjoining where Mr.. and Mrs. Neill
| reside is a bonnet, and when the air
is stirring that bonnet turns as the
wind changes direction, with a hideous
creaking. The other day Mrs .NeilI,
whose loom windows face the Chin
| ney, heard the creaking, and was just
| about to abuse the bonnet when she
| discovered that the mischievous bird
was making the noise.
The bird can crow like a rooster and
cackle like a hen. 1t often beguiles
| the inmates of the house to the front
door by initiating the postman's S
whistle. 1t can also mimic the police
| mans whistle; in fact there are very
| few familiar sounds that it has not
| learned.
Mrs. Neill once owned a bird that
| could whistle two familiar waltzes.
! She would whistle them for it just
prior to retiring, and In the morning
again the tunes We're whistled until
the little bird learned them perfectly.
1t is very remarkable to hear a
| mocking bird utter words, and it is
! doubtful whether there is another be-
sides the one owned by Mrs. Neill that
| enjoys that reputation. 1t requires
| considerable pains to teach the bird,
and certainly a great amount of in
genuity and skill. Mr.. and Mrs. Neill
prize the bird very highly.
