HOW WE GET THE IVORY. • ' rhe Elephant Industry and Its Uelatlons to the Slave Trade. It lias been suggested by a recent writer that the extinction of the African ele phant would achieve tho suppression of the African slave trade, for if there were no ivory to carry to the coast tho Arabs would have no occasion to maintain that fell institution in its foulest form. On the same lines we have heard it argued that the ultimate patrons of African slavery are those men among us whose amusement depends upon tho perfection of the sphere wrought out of the choicest part of the elephant's tooth, and those ladies whose aesthetic taste would be of fended with other than the soft, creamy, delicately grained surface for their toilet requisites, which no product but ivory can give. Many will regard this long chain of responsibility as the mere fantastic cre ation of a philanthropic enthusiast, and certainly the abolition of the slave trade will be a slow process if it depends upon the establishment of an anti-ivory using league in the boudoirs and dining rooms of Mayfair or the billiard saloons of the Strand. The prospect that the problem will be solved by tho extinction of the great pachyderm is also remote. The yearly destruction of elephants is enor mous, and obviously there is a limit to the supply, but it promises to hold out for a long time yet. Occasionally times of scarcity have been experienced, as, for instance, during the recent blockade of the East African coast by Germany, but the shipment to Europe continue) with a remarkable regularity. The perennial talk of an ivory famine lias us yet come to nothing, a rise in price being sufficient to stimulate the supply and to some extent contract the demand. Those in the trade will tell you that magnificent tusks are now rare, but of medium size there is comparative abundance. How long that will last it is impossible to say, but as Africa is opened up the elephant's bounds will be circumscribed, and some lino day the last wild animal of the species will re ceive his quietus. Fifty years is the period which one authority in the trade ventures upon for the practical drying up of the ivory supply. We obtain a certain proportion of our supplies of ivory from Asia, but the bulk and the best conies from Africa. In deed, a great part of what is nominally East Indian is really African, for it is sent from Zanzibar and Mozambique to Bombay, and such parts as are not re quired for bangles and carved work are shipped to England. More or less comes from Bimttuh. fiia.n. Cochin China, Cey lon, Sumatra and Java, tho Siamese be ing the best of tho Asiatic, which is apt to di-o dor. The African is shipped from ' a g.uubia, Guinea, the Congo, Bern, c i and other places on the west coast. ■ tibar, Mozambique and Sofala on t'i a: Cape town on tho south, and I • ais, Tripoli, Alexandria and Cait • brought down from the in tern- '. aits. London is the great mar ory, and buyers both for horn end attend the four series oft .( ; lie London docks. Li .trough its direct trading con: h the west coast, receives a e, . stnt of ivory and has a seric tor sales, and Antwerp is now t: . to cut into tlio trade, as an outcome t.f the Belgian efforts in the Congo Free Suite. At the last series of sales held in London only 7.7 tons wore offered, hut the quantities usually range from 100 to 120 tons. The last auctions In Liverpool disposed of I.') tons, and about 131 tons were offered at Antwerp. Last year the total imports of ivory into this country weighed 11,707 hundred weight. This would mean at least 00.000 tusks, and tho destruction of 130.000 ele phants lor this market alone. France, Germany and America share in these supplies, hut they al.-o obtain ivory di rect. more especially Germany.—Pall Mull Gazette. the Succulent I'rojj. Two or three times a month a bright boy with a business like air visits the hotels and restaurants. He was en countered lite other day in a down town luneli room, where he had just sold the proprietor a dozen fat frogs. They were neatly strung along a stick, and one ntau ut first took them for reed birds. "I caught these down in the Neck," said the boy. I it nin't no fun either, going into i It after them with a net. '* "V. ; do yoti charge for them?"

What in the world is the matter with you ? You seem to have renewed your youth." " Well Phil. I have. Don't you remem ber the last time I saw you, how misera ble I was '! Sick and blue, and in that sort of mood a man gets sometimes when he feels the most noble thing in life is to go straight to the devil." " Not so bad as that, I hope : at all events you didn't go that way you are looking far too happy and hearty."" " Thank goodness." no : or rather thank Vinegar Bitters. Do you remember that day I saw you last, when you recommend ed that remedy to mc so persistently, and I wis first vex'd and then half convinced." I remember it perfectly, and vou needn't say another word upon the sub ject : your looks tell ine that vou took the medicine." " No doubt of it : everybody remarks upon my improved looks aiid temper; but I must really tell you all about it. I got the old style, as you recommended, and didn't mind the hitter taste at all. I fin ished the bottle in about two weeks, and * was greatly improved, so much so that I determined to change off and try the i new style. " Well, how did you like it?" " You told me your wife preferred th new style. I believe; well, I must say I a-re with her. I like tlie old style very much but the new is a fiuer. smoother, more ex pensive preparation." " I believe it is; in fact. I have iieaid so, and 1 wonder the McDonald Druy Company sell it for the same price they do the old style, because it is really a very costly preparation." " Well, that dosn'l concern us. Who was it said that people fancied themselves pious sometimes when they were only bilious i No matter! I was onlygoingto say that I believe people often seem wicked when it is only their liver, or their stom ach. or some other cantankerous organ of the body so out of order thev couldn't be good if they tried." " And if all the miserable dyspepsia, and victims of hilinu-m ss. headache and the thousand and one ills that Ilesh is heir to would only tike Vinegar Bitters, what a happy world this would he .' " "I.should recommend the new style." " I never go back on the old style.'"' "Well, they can nny l heir money and take their choir for both kinds work ad mirably." Only Temperance Bitters Known.
