"Well, you know it now, old fell

We began that way, you see, when
we was first married-keepin' ami

to be remembered by their husbands.

store, leaving his friend staring
after him with perplexity written in
every line of his face.
"You know how women like to be

Sam was wrong; he didn't know.
The words haunted him-haunted
him all day. Went with him to the
various places where he had business
to transact; kept him company at
the restaurant when he ate his din

so. "I've just paid a good round sum
for that cultivator, and 1 won't kick

He carefully placed the bonnet-box
under the wagon seat as he rode
home that night. To tell the truth,
he exceedingly dreaded the %presenta-

this sort of thing, like Sans wife,

Susan had found enough voice now

was pleased; it was easy to see that.
"You oughtn't to have done it," she
said, as she held the pretty bonnet

EXPRESSION IN THE HAND.
That Member is Frequently Far More
Eloquent Than the
Tongue.

There is wealth of meaning in the
simple pressure of the hand. Not in
frequently a woman's nature and
breeding may be distinguished by the
manner in which she shakes friends
hand. 1t may be due to the fact that
there are more nerves between the
brain and the hand than between any
other two portions of the body, but
true it is that the hand is often more
eloquent than the tongue, Washing
ton orator is quoted as saying, and
when a woman once appreciates the
Importance of this she will imm ediate-
ly begin to study the expression of
the hand. One human touch of SYM
pathy or grasp of the hand can and
frequently does mean more than a
volume of words, and to possess this
quality, particularly in a woman, is no
light charm and thing that lies with
IN the reach of every woman. Should
she not have it naturally she should
speedily cultivate expression of the
hand
VI course there arecertain hall marks
of refined hand, beauty and texture
of skin, whiteness of nails all essen
tial, but not half so important as ex-
preston. Graceful gesture and a touch
OF quick sympathy, these never lose
their charm or power.

VIRTUES OF IVORY.
Prescribed as IA Medicine and Made
Into u Jelly in Eighteenth
Century.

Ivory was formerly us ed as a medi-
cine, but this was dis continued about
the end of the eighteenth or the be.
ginning of the nineteenth century.
1t was certainly prescribed in 1746,
the date of the last edition of Castel
los "Medicae Compendium" says
Stray Stories.
In Schroder's Zoolog =, 1859, trans
lated into English by T. Bateson, it
is thus described under the heading
"Elephas:"
''His teeth are only used in medi
cine, vulgarly called ivory. The vir-
tues: 1t cools and drys, moderately
binds cuts, strengthens the inward
parts. 1t is good for the jaundice, it
chaseth away wormes, it is good for
inveterate obstructions; it takeA
away the pains and weakness of the
stomach; it heals the epilepsie, drives
away melancholy, resists rottenness
and poysons. 1t is used in infusions,
and the powder is given in substance.
The dose is half a dram Preparation:
j. Burnt ivory, called Spodium, and
to distinguish it from the mineral
Spoduim, Spodium of Ivory, ii.
Troches of Spodium."'
Ivory ground fine, and made into
sort of jelly, has been used as a
STRENGTHENING food in more recent
times, by medical advice.

the last car is to leave after the thea
tire train comes in, but it leaves at
10. so O'Clock instead. Quite number
of the people have relatives living at
South River and New Brunswick who
would like to come to Amboy and
spend the evening, but are deferred
from doing so on account of their
leaving so early as it is late when
they get here. One of the new Coun-

late. He would look the franchise up

he would do all in his power to make
