Ivory Smuggling.

Ivory smuggling is looked upon as
very serious crime in British East
Africa and this is only as it should
be. for, in order to secure the ivory
the traders have to kill great num-
bers of elephants. The game preser-
walton laws, particularly as regards
elephants, are most severe, and woe
betide the man who is caught break
ing the game regulations or in pos
session OF Illicit spells of the chase
The smuggling of ivory, therefore,
says the World Wide Magazine, Is
treated in the same manner as SNUG
Cling gems and clothing into the Uni
ted States, Illicit diamond buying in
South Africa, or other forms of SNUG
Cling in England. The rigid laws,
however, do not prevent the Arabs
and Indians from indulging In an ille-
gal trade in ivory on large scale.

The Influence of Flower.

Centuries ago great elaborate books
were written about flowers, and the
kinds even then were many and some
OF the forms We're marvellous worship
and praise have centered about flow
ers and garands rather than about the
fruits that we eat; this marks them
to have been considered as of the high
er things. All holy and great oeca-
sions need them if the occasions are
complete. Not a soul but responds to
blossoms. even Though he knows it not.
No soul passes a lily in blow, an apple
orchard in May, a clover field swept
with red, or good garden lying at his
feet. but that some mere reflection OF
its enters into his mind and lodges it
self in some .neXus of the brain. 1t
would he difficult for any man to mag
inc a flowerless world; and if he CON
mred It in his dream he would find HIM
self sitting in some oasis of greenery
and bloom. IL. II. Bailey in the Maya

by the Persian Gov

Teheran, Jan. 20--Since the departure
of the former treasurer general, w.
Morgan Shuster, the cabinets commu-
nieations to the American officials APP
pear to have become increasingly pro-
yccative and insulting in tone. 1t IS
generally believed that the intention
Of the cabinet is to induce the Amer
leans voluntarily to abandon their con-
tracts, since the British and Russian
governments do not desire their con-
tinuation in the Persian service and
Persia does not desire to pay compen-
sation in case of a breach of contract.
The foreign minister has sent seathing
rcprimand to f. +. Cairns, who tenn
porarily succeeded Mr.. Shuster III the
treasury department, for entering INTO
direct communication with the British,
Russian and American legations regard
ing previous government eommunlea-
tions. 1t should be understood that
the Americans are the sole foreign 9th
cials in Persia, whose government Is
not expected to support their interests,
other than their personal rights. The

CONVENTIONS BIENNIALLY.
Mine Workers Also to Bar Civic Fed

Der of the National Civic Federation
shall be delegate to convention OF
the United Mine Workers of America,
according to the provisions or new
constitution for the organization, which
was submitted to the miners conven-

committee. The proposed new eonstitu-
ton also provides that the election OF

held every two years instead OF each

convention "was packed against him.
A telegram was received yesterday
from Mitchell, stating that he would be

as delegate of the miners organiza-
ton, he refused to support a movement
to condemn the National Civic Fedora
