Mixing His Metaphors.

To Lord Rosebery's famous "spade
and wind" metaphor may be added two
or three lapses, not all of which are
mixed metaphors, perpetuated by Lord
Londonderry.
In 1896 Lord Londonderry threw the
house Of lords into roars of laughter
during the debate on the second read.
ing Of the Irish land bill by gravely de.
claring that this is the reason why
you have failed to settle the Irish land
question in the future as you have done
in the past"
In the course Of the same speech he
concluded period with, This Is the
Keystone Of the bill, are you going to
kill itY'
Better still was a sentence which he
uttered in 1897 when speaking once
more on the Irish land question, THAT
your lordship will see," referring to a
quotation he had just made, endorses
up to the hilt what have said."-Tat

First American Mandolin.

The first mandolin made in America
vas turned out in Chicago and was
built by Joseph Bohmann, an instru-
ment maker who was we'll known at
the time as a manufacturer of violins
The date was 1883 or 1854. The writer
or this article was teaching and play
Ing the mandolin in Chicago at the
time. using small model imported
French instrument, and remembers the
Bohmann instrument particularly on
account of its unusual size, much lar.
ger than any he had ever seen, its
peculiar shape and its very crude con-
struction as compared with those of a
later date. Nevertheless it was a be-
ginning. Other manufacturers expert
mented, and it was but short time
until Bohmann and other makers were
turning out instruments that were ac-
cepted by professionals as superior to
the imported mandOlins. From that
time to the present progress and con-
tinual Improvement has been the rule
until now the American instruments
have passed all mpetition.-Clarence

ivory Cnryine.

y The ivory carvers of this country do
nttlo or nothing in the East Indian or
Japanese manner, nor do they occupy
themselves with figure work. Their
chief employment is in producing deco
rative toilet and stationery articles.
The carvers Of ivory use much the
same tools as the wood carvers, but of
lighter and more delicate make.
Inc work is extremely tedious and
!aborious. 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.
tus, with some varieties of palms, and
