The ivory caryers OF this country do

themselves with figure work Their
chief employment is In producing deco

The carvers of ivory use much the
same tools as the wood carvers. but Of
lighter and mere delicate make.
The work IL extremely tedious and
laborious. The carving is usually done
In low relief, and the subjects are such
as are suitable TO this treatment-Per-
sian designs in delicate curves. the cac.

hints caught from those maryelously

II has a big head. with the eyes on
top. Its cheeks are golden yellow.
its abdomen dark blue with purple

ally big. and they produce continuous

The person bitten by this fly gets a
disease called myiasis. 1t generally
begins with an itching Of the nose;
then that organ swells and bleeds, next
II becomes liberated, and in these ul-
GERS may be found the larve of the fly.
The whole face becomes swollen; cry

traveller in that country, shot himself

Ten Year. Ago md Now.

There is no better antidote for de-
spondency than to take measure OF
your own community as 1t was ten
years ago and as it is today, unless
you live in an unrepresentative and
stagnant community You will be
likely to find the roads or the streets
better than they were, the railroad
service. the postal service. possibly
even the telegraph and the telephone
service better. You will observe better
houses, more attractive grounds. The
people are better clad or more are well
clad. Inside their houses you will find
more books or better. more bathrooms,
better lights and better furniture. A
larger proportion of children and youth
are receiving good training at better
schools. All this mears more than
prosperous years. Ii means a higher
level OF life and a stronger ambition.
The well being of the people OF the
United States is rising higher and es-
pecially is it diffusIng itself wider.
Life Is constantly becoming more COM
Portable and more cheerful as well as
longer and safer, leading TO better con-
ditions for intellectual growth and so
cial development.-World Work.
