HELPS THE IVORY WORKER
Rat In its Search for Toothsome Nor.
sol Unwittlngly Gives Aid
to the Carver.

There Is curious but little known
fact that we'll illustrates the ravages
that rats can inflict on the hardest
substances with their sharp little teeth.
Many of the elephants tusks import.
ed into London for the use Of ivory.
ornament makers have their surfaces
grooved into small burrows of unequal
depth, as If cut by a very sharp-edged
instrument. Surely no man can have
taken the trouble to do that, for what
would be the profit of his labor? The
rats are at the bottom Of the mischief.
They have found out the tusks that
contain the most gelatin or animal
glue, sweet and delicious morsel for
the rats dainty palate; and having
gnawed away as much as suited their
purpose, have left the rest for the
ivory-cutter. He, for his part, is able
and willing to profit by the fact that
the rats have made clear.
The ivory that contains a large
amount Of gelatin is softer and more
elastic than that which does not; and
as elasticity is the thing most needed
for billiard balls, the ivory.worker
chooses this rat-marked ivory, and
turns it into beautiful. elastic billiard
balls. The elasticity of some Of the
balls is 30 great that If thrown down
forcibly on hard pavement they will
rebound into the hand to the height OF
three or four feet-Youtl's Com.

ADVICE FOR STOUT WOMEN
ThInos 70 Avoid and ThInss That Are
Calculated 70 Improve the
Appearance.

Never wear shiny stuffs such % sat-
in. They catch the light on the curves
Of your figure and make you look
much stouter than you really are.
Soft dull stuffs are the right things for
you.
Never wear q blouse of one stun
and the skirt of another, but always
have whole dresses or costumes. A
contrasting vest, collar or front on
a dark dress is quite allowable.
Wear stripes or plain stuffs rather
than checks or lowered patterns.
Don't have a contrasting belt-it cuts
you in two. and, by taking away from
your height, increases your apparent
width.
Wear low collars. High ones are
very unbecoming to thick throat,
and besides, you are nearly sure to
have q pretty neck-most stout peo-
pie have-so you may as we'll show It.
Let your indoor skirts touch the
ground always. Have them made close
fitting on the hips with a good fare
out at the foot. A skirt which draws
in round the feet always increases the
apparent size Of the hips.
Don't wear gray, pale pink, pale blue
or pale violet. White and cream, II
they are dull, sometimes help to make
the figure seem slim, but pale pastel
shades are always very broadening.
Your best colors are black, mole and
the darker shades of blue, brown
green, red or purple, according to your
complexion.
