Vegetable Ivory From Ecuador Nuts.
In the forests of the Pacific slope In
Ecuador abounds the species of palm
which bears the nuts known as “vege
table Ivory.” The nuts are exceeding
ly hard and white. Germany tables
tko-thirds of the product, and the rest
goes to the United States, France and
England. The harvest is in the rainy
season, and great rafts loaded with
the nuts are sent down the swollen
rivers.

A Topsy-Turvy House.
One of the oddest sights of f?ie Paris
Exposition will be the “Mandir a l’En
vers,” or the topsy-turvy house. The
suggestion of this unique house of mys
tery first came from a Russian engi
neer named Kotin. This extraordinary
building will represent a feudal man
sion turned upside down, the roof por
tion forming actually the foundation,
and vice versa. The visitor will step
in up through the roof, and after goßig
up stairs several times will come flotvn
to the cellar, which will be fitted up
as a root garden. There will even be a
terraced garden in connection with the
topsy-turvy house, hanging, of course,
upside down in mid-air. Every apart
ment in the house will be sumptuous
ly furnished, and the topsy-turveydom
will extend even to the furniture. The
perplexed visitor, for instance, will see
a cook making some delicious smelling
soup, though both chef and saucepan
appear upside down. The bathroom
has a bath full of water upside down,
and the drawing room has a piano and
a performer playing the latest tunes
of the Folies Bergerc also upside down.
This illusion of the Interior is pro
duced by an ingenious arrangement of
mirrors. This topsy turvy house after
the Paris Exposition will be repro
duced at Chicago and Coney Island
and the Buffalo Expocition.

Basutos Employed by the British on Military
Railroads.
The British are employing a large
number of Basutos to repair and lay
the railroads in the Orange Free State
that are essential to the advance of
the army and the maintenance of com
munications with the base of supplies.
Thus the natives are now to partici
pate, for the first time on a large scale,
in work that is related to the war.
The Basutos have no friendly senti
ments for the Orange Free State Boers
who incorporated in their republic a
part of Basutoland. The Zulus have
always hated the Transvaal Boers,
with whom they had many a hard fight
in what is now Natal, and by whom
the Matabele branch of the Zulus were
driven north of the Crocodile River.
The Basutos and Zulus are the strong
est native elements in South Africa.
These tribes supply a large part of the
manual labor throughout South Africa,
but their efficiency falls below that of
the average American negro. They
have not reached the same plane of
civiliation, their wants are fewer and
more easily supplied, and after a term
of service they usually wish to return
to their homes for a long period of idle
ness; so it has been found necessary to
supplement them by the importation
of thousands of Indian coolies. Still,
they Are by far the largest element in
the labor market. Sixty thousand of
them were at work in the Witwaters
rand gold fields when the war began;
all tke Tabor in the diamond mines is
supplied by the natives, and they are
widely scattered at service through the
towns and over the sheep and cattle
farms.
They are prisoners as long as they
work in the diamond mines, for one of
the rigorous measures taken to prevent
diamond stealing is to keep the native
laborers in a compound from which
they never emerge during their term of
service, except to march, under escort,
to and from their work. But the South
African natives are progressing, and
their value as a factor in the develop
ment of the land is growing.

Anemia it’s another name for starved blood, thin
blood, poor blood. Of course this isn’t the kind to have.
What you want is rich blood, red blood. You want the
old color back to your cheeks and lips. You want your
nerves once more strong and steady. To make this change
you must take a perfect Sarsaparilla, a Sarsaparilla made upon
gi honor, a Sarsaparilla that you have confidence in.
I That’s AYER’S
"The only Sarsaparilla made under the personal supervision o!
three graduates: a graduate in pharmacy, n graduate
in chemistry, and a graduate in medicine.”
