Ii is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous

time, else the system suffers. There are
times when they need little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of rem

History Of Ivory.


The earliest recorded history-we
might say prehistoric, the heroglyph-
ical-that has come down to us has
been in carvings on ivory and bone.
Long before metallurgy was known
among the prehistoric races carvings
on reindeer horn and mammoth tusk
evidence the antiquity of the art
Fragments Of horn and ivory engraved
with excellent pictures of animals have
been found in caves and beds OF rlv-
ers and lakes. There are specimens
in the British museum, also in the
Louvre, of the Egyptian skill In ivory
carving attributed to the age of Moses
In the latter collection are chairs Oh
seats of the sixteenth century B. C.
inlaid with ivory and other pieces of
the eleventh century b. C. Carving of
the precious substance" was extern
sively carried on at Constantinople dur.
ing the middle ages. Combs, caskets,
horns, boxes, etc, of carved ivory and
bone, often set in precious stones, of
the old Roman and Anglo-Saxon peri
DDS are frequently found in tombs.

Please, have you quarter"
The girl from across the hall held out
a tiny hand, in the palm of which were
displayed three nickels and a dime.
Keenly conscious that there vas
hole, a most comfortable and satlsfac-
tory hole, in the elbow OF his smoking
jacket, Digby held out his own hand,
enclosing his fingers to display the de-
sired coin.
Did you know what | was coming
after" she said, with Il laugh Digby
had never heard her laugh before. 1t
was a low, ripping laugh, almost as
attractive as her smile. He wondered
how he could improve his opportunity.
Ever since she had moved in he had
wanted to know the girl across the
hall. Had his mother been home it
would have been all simpler, but he
had been keeping bachelor hall for
nearly three months.
Did you know l wanted the quar-
ter" she repeated Digby pulled him
self together.

solemnly. Il know that you want the

''Not at ALL" he assured. As though
to prove him false the gas in his hail
grew dim. Il have more change" he
explained, "and it's all right"

slipped back into her own apartment

happily ever after. Instead he had
never been so dull, and perhaps he had
lost his chance.
The gas had gone out as he closed
the door and limped into the kitchen.
He knew very well that it was useless
to search for a quarter. He had found
the one he had just given up only after
a search. He would have to fall back
on candles. There were half dozen in
the dining room, and by lighting four
he managed to read after fashion.
But he had scarcely settled himself to
his reading when the doorbell rang
again. He wondered who it might be
now as he made his way down the
dark hall. The girl across the hall stood
there again.
You fibbed," she said reproachfully.

Keeping Up Appearances,

The tall man in the suit of faded
black went into the first class restau-
rant and seated himself at table in
a far corner. Lingering there a min
ute or two, he rose stif1ly and went to

can't be waited on promptly in this
place." he said, with a frown, there
are plenty of other places" Then he
strolled lelsurely out, picking his teeth,
and presently wended his way unob-
trusively to the five cent lunch counter
