" 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. —Chambers’ Journal. 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. Men with bunions or with overly ing toes from the wearing of tight shoes are not admitted to the army. 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.
