Ivory for Plano KEYS.

The consumption of ivory for the
keys of American-made pianos is grow
ing rapidly. Purchases on American
account have been on an unusually
large scale, and so eager have buyers
been to secure desirable parcels that
fashion. Almost the whole of the ivory
bought on American accounts is used
for piano-forte keys, and as the waste
material is not required by Yankee
manufacturers it is reshipped to Eu-
rope and utilized by Sheffield and
Solingen cutters rs scales for pen
knives.

says the New York World.
1t was Miss Rockefeller's cure that,
induced the duchess to put herself in
the care of DR.. Muller. who even now
has undertaken to cure her in six
weeks.
He says he can cure where others
fail, because the English aural special
fists have devoted their studies and ex-
perience exclusively to diseases of the
ear, while deafness does not always
originate in a disease of the ear. Null
ler's wide experience in treating the
nose and the throat helps him to find
other exciting causes, which he re-
moves.
His cure consists chiefly in inhaa-
tions and the application of electric
currents.
The duchess does not look at all like
an invalid. Except for the two hours
which she gives daily to treatment,
she is at liberty to do as she likes. She
rould not have chosen a worse season
to stay in Vienna, as open-air exercise,
even driving, is out of the question just
now. She spends many hours a day
viewing art treasures in the museums
and in private houses. while in the
evening she sometimes goes to the
opera

The New Fish Laws.

Two bills of interest to fishermen
have been introduced in the Legislature
One imposes fine of $50 for every

lands for the purpose of fishing The
other requires fishermen from other
states who bring their boats into the
waters of this state to FISH to take out
a license under a penalty of $50.
The latter effects only the lake fish

story of a strange Passport.

The passport regulations of Russia
are absurd, as was shown by journal
list, Prince Metchersky, who was sent
by the czar to make Investigations.
He crossed to Rumania, and purposely
obtained permit to take live stock
over the border. At the Russian
frontier the official cyuld read no Ru-
manian and little Russian, but he was
impressed by the official paper, and let
the prince pass. When Prince Metcher-
sky returned to Moscow, he presented
the document to the governor. "This
is my passport" he said. II Travelled
for five months in Russia on the au-
thority of this document, but the
identification is neither fiattering nor
true" The governor took the paper,
and found the prince there described

ear partly torn away"

The wagon, as its picture shows, still
seems fit for duty. Its joints are rather
weak, though, and it has been repaired
so often that it was thought best to re-
place it. 1t carried the money received

HIGH pressure DAYS. Men and women
alike have to work necessarily with brain
and hand to hold their own nowadays.
Never were the demands of business, the
wants of .the family, the requirements of
society, more numerous. The first effect of
the praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in a weaken
ed or debilitated condition of the nervous
system, which results in dyspepsia, defective
nutrition Of both body and brain, and in ex-
tremc cases in complete nervous prostration.
1t is clearly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor and tone
to the nerves, and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and active.
From personal knowledge, we can recon-.
mend Hoods Sarsaparila for this purpose.
1t acts on all the vital organs, builds up the
whole system, and fits men and women for
these hgh.pressure days.

That Carrie Bridewell holds high po-

there is no doubt that far greater

Miss BrideweIl was born near New Or

instructions. Soon after her sixteenth
birthday she went to Chicago and began
the culture OF her voice, which was con-
