" A COMEDY.
Thpy parted with clasped hands
And kisses and burning tears,
'" They met in a foreign land
After some twenty years—
Met as acquaintances meet,
j*? Smiling, tranquil eyed,
** Not even the least little beat
Of the heart upon either side
i
jf They chatted of this and that,
The nothings that make up life^
She in a Gainsborough hat
And he in black for his wife.
All, what a comedy this!
Neither was hurt, it appears.
.Yet onco she had leaned to liis kiss.
And once he had known her tears.
—Thomas Bailey Aldrich,
Will All the Elephants Be Killed?
When we take into consideration
the large quantity of ivory import
ed annually, it is not surprising that
those interested in it should at times
become somewhat anxious about fu
ture supplies. An authority upon
Indian matters some few years hack
was particularly struck by this
thought, and wrote:
“It is reported that England alone
imports 1,200,000 pounds of ivory,
to obtain which 30,000 elephants
have to he annually killed, and the
world’s supply must, it has been es
timated, necessitate 100,000 being
annually slaughtered. It may safe
ly ho assumed that, if this rule of
destruction continues, a compara
tively few years will suffice to ex
terminate the African species of ele
phant.”
The assumption is, fortunately for
the world at large, quite incorrect.
Asa matter of fact, our imports av
erage about the same year by year,
hut there is a very important factor
which the Indian authority just
quoted has evidently overlooked—
namely, that most of tho ivory that
we receive is technically known as
dead ivory—that is, tusks which
bavo been taken from elephants long
since dead and stored up in the in
terior of Africa. Of livo ivory, or
tusks taken from recently killed
animals, we do not receive, compara
tively speaking, a considerable quan
tity. There is no fear whatever of
the supply being exhausted during
the next two or three generations.

Two Famous Kisses.
History has taken notice of some
famous kisses. There was that which
Queen Margaret gave to Alain Char
tier, over 300 years' ago, the mem
ory of which is fresh in the minds
of men, if not on their lips. Chartier
was a poet, hut ho was the ugliest
man personally' in all “the sunny
land of France.” The queen, with
her maids, one day found him asleep,
and, bending over him, kissed his
dreaming lips. Turning to her
maids, sho prettily said, “I kiss not
the man; I kiss the soul that sings. ”
Two centuries later Voltaire, an
other Frenchman, and also a poet,
was publicly kissed in the stage box
of the theater by the young and
lovely Countess de Villars, but in
his case tho lady gave the kiss not
ns a voluntary tributo to genius, but
in obedience to the commands of tho
claque in tho pit, who, mad with en
thusiasm for the poet’s “Merope,”
bade her kiss him.—Boston Herald.
By the Barrel.
She is an English woman and a
now domestic in a boarding house.
She was rolling a heavy barrel along
the basement hall when one of the
boarders passed her.
“What have you there, Annie?”
“Tho hash barrel, sir.”
“The what?”
“The hash barrel.”
“Great Scott! I knew we ate a
lot of it, but I didn’t think she
bought it by tho barrel.”—New
York Recorder.
Purifying and Disinfecting Air.
In- order to purify and disinfect
the air of rooms and factories a Ger
man scientist employs platinum wire
kepi red hot or incandescent by an
electric current. For sickrooms the
wires aro passed backward and for
ward over insulating supports ar
ranged upon a frame, while in a fac
tory a special form of apparatus is
employed in the chimney to effect
tho deposition of smoko.
Met a Worse Fate.
“Did you bear tho joke on Dob
son?”
“No.”
“Took a cab last night for fear of
being held up and the driver charged
him CO cents more than Dobson
had.”—Chicago Record.
Disagreeing in little things and
agreeing in great ones is what forms
and keeps up a commerce of society
and friendship among reasonable
men, and among unreasonable men
breaks it.—Anon.
In 1823 John I. Hawkins, an
American, residing in London, at
tempted to solve the difficulty of
the gold pen point by soldering bits
of diamond or ruby to the points of
gold pens.
Cooking meat at a high and in a
dry temperature develops a richer
and more savory flavor, so, when it
is possible, it is well to brown the
meat before adding water to it.

AN/tsflUfet* FOR ANIMALS.
Surgical Operations Are Now Done With
the Aid of Chloroform.
The use of anaesthetics for allevi
; ating pain is no longer to he oonfined
Ito the lords of creation. Humani
j tarians have come forward with the
declaration that tho lower animals
shall not he subjected to the knife
| or the redhot iron without first be
ing reduced to unconsciousness, when
thoj' may he operated upon at pleas
ure. Mr. John Moore of Manchester
is authority for the statement that
operations done without oliloroform
are “veritable and revolting acts of
■ oruolty and butchery.”
Hitherto the objection to the em
ployment of obloroform for the pur
pose of aiding operations in animal
I surgery has been the expense. Vet
erinary surgeons have not thought
| it worth the cost to secure the poor
| dumb creatures from pain. But the
objection can now no longer ho
maintained an inexpensive form of
the drug is available, and an eco
nomical method of administering it
has just been discovered. The quan
tity of the drug required is very
small.
The apparatus consists of a sort of
mask, lined on tho inside with an
| absorbent cotton material. When
; fitted on tho face, the animal suc-
I cumbs gradually to the influence of
the anaesthetic, hut once he feels
the effect he is aroused with diffi
culty, and then only after a consid
erable period. Horses require more
chloroform than other animals, and
the cost in their case is estimated
at 5 cents a head.
The danger of overdosing is very
small. A horse cannot ho killed by
chloroform inhalation under ordi
nary circumstances. For sheep,
which are subjected to painful muti
lation, chloroform can bo easily em
ployed. Tho operation is better per
formed, tho flow of blood being not
so great as when chloroform is not
used, and fewer hands are required.
The firing of horses, “ringing” of
hulls and swine and branding of oat
tle are now successfully dono with
tho aid of chloroform. In each in
stance the results have been more
satisfactory than when the animals
were out up and mutilated in cold
blood. A writer on the subject in
the London Lancet says:
“Tho rough and tumblo butchery
of the prechloroform era of veterin
ary surgery has little to commend it
when compared with tho precise
methods and acourato results ob
tained by scientific exponents of
veterinary surgery, such as can he
arrived at by the aid of chloroform.
If owners of horses and farm stock
and of pets onco realized that chloro
form for their animals meant not
only immunity from pain, hut also
insured better results and less risk
pf failure or accident, there is no
doubt that they would insist on its
use.”
What Was Jnsiilo of Her.
Having at one timo a small stuffed
crocodile in my room, varnished and
lodged on my mantelshelf, I was
visited by an old woman of the hum
bler class, about some parish pay
that had been cut down by the hard
hearted guardians, when her eye
rested on the crocodile, and after
considering it for some time she
broke forth with, “I reckon you got
thickey [that] out o’ somebody’s in
sides.”
“Most assuredly not,” I answered,
considerably taken aback at the un
expected question. Then I added,
“Whatin thenameof wonder makes
you think so?”
“Becos,” she replied, “sure
enough, tliero’s one in mo, as wor
rits me—awful! And I wish your
honor’d go to tho hoard of gardjins
and tnko thickey haste along wi’ you
and show it to them gardjins and
toll ’em I’ve got one just the same
rampaging inside o’ me, and got ’em
to givo me another loaf, and tack on
a sixpence to my pay. I’d like to
keep a pig, your honor, only how
can I, when I’ve got a baste like
that in my vitals as consumes more
nor half o’ what I have to eat? There
ain’t no offals for a porker. Can’t be
nohow.”—Good Words.
Both Killed and Cared.
The Parisian wits are reviving an
old story about the wonderful cure
from deafness of a patient who was
recommended to go to hear “Lohen
grin” and to sit near the orchestra,
by the trombones. The doctor ac
companied his patient, and sat be
side him. All of a sudden, whilo the
noise of the instruments was at its
loudest, the deaf man found he could
hear. “Doctor, ”he almost shrieked,
“I can hear.” The doctor took no
notice. “I tell you, doctor,” repeat
ed the man in ecstasy, “you have
saved mo. I have recovered my
hearing.” Still the doctor was si
lent. He had become deaf himself!
A Labor Saving Device.
“I see,” said St. Peter, “that they
have been inventing a machine to
record the tunes produced on pia
nos. ”
“I wish,” said the recording an
gel, “that they would get up some
kind of a rapid action machine to
record the remarks that are made
about the pianos.”—Cincinnati En
quirer.
