RATS LIKE TO GNAW TUSKS.
And Thua the Rodents Are a Help to
the Ivory Workers.
There is a curious but little known
fact that well Illustrates the ravages
that rats can inflict on the hardest sub
stances 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 furrows 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 bis labor?
The rats are at the bottom of the
mischief. They have found out the
tusks that contain the most gelatin or
animal glue, a sweet and delicious
morsel for the rat’s dainty palate, and
having gnawed away as much as suit
ed their purpose, hove 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 so great that If thrown down
forcibly on a hard pavement they will
rebound into the hand to the height of
three or four feet.—Exchange.
WHERE RAIN IS A NOVELTY.
Think of Having a Shower Only Once
In Twenty-four Yearsl
The Chilean provinces of Atacama,
Tarapaca and Tacna are In the rain
less region, or desert country west of
the Andes, and are entirely devoid of
vegetation. The winds in all of this
region are from the east and in passing
over the elevated perpetual snows of
the Andes are stripped of their mois
ure and arrive on the coast perfectly
dry.
The last rain, a slight shower which
fell in Antofagasta, in Atacama pro
vince, was the first rain which had
fallen in sixteen years. The last rain
which fell in lquique, in Tarapaca
province, was the first in twenty-four
years. With both of these showers a
notable phenomenon occurred. The
bare hills back of these cities assumed
a green tint from a little plant which
sprang up almost in a night. The
query Is, “From where did this plant
come?”
The whole of the coast presents a
most dismal and discouraging appear
ance from the sea, but the climate is
healthy, being especially adapted to
pulmonary and throat troubles from
its extreme dryness and freedom from
germs. The heat is modfled by a local
sea breeze, and the sea bathing is most
Invigorating, as the water is cold.
No Tip For Him.
Tipping is at least an ancient custom.
In tlie eighteenth century an Italian
visitor to England remarked that “it
Is polite to dine with the nobility,
where you pay the servants for ten
times as much as you eat” And an
Irish peer replied to the Duke of Or
monde’s Invitation to dine: “If your
grace will give me a guinea to pay
your servants. I will. I am too poor,
else!" An American actor who once
took an English house for the summer
had a schedule of the tips his servants
expected printed for the guidance of
his American friends and put them on
the bedroom mantelpieces, lie had
taken a particular dislike to a very
British side whiskered butler he had
taken over with the house, and the
list, after enumerating the sums to be
paid to the chauffeur, the housemaid,
and so on. finished with, “The guy
with the black whiskers you will meet
in the front hall—uot a cent”—Argo

Typhoid and Cocoanut Milk.
An English writer tells of a colored

to be allowed to drink of cocoanut
juice. She was beyond the reach of

and drank the juice, not of one bnt of

of liquid, and the orgle indisputably

NEED OF FAT AS FOOIT.
No Difference to the Syetem From
What Source It Is Obtained.
The trees In a Syria 4 garden are an
Important and practically necessary
part of the nutrition of the people.
Combined with grain In the form of
coarse bread, the tree products make a
balanced and wholesome ration. For
large elements of the population, at
least one meal a day Is commonly com
posed of bread und walnuts. The wal
nut Is rich In both protein and fat, so
that this combination virtually dupli
cates in nutrition our occidental sand
wich of bread, butter and meat.
The oil to which the scriptural writ
ers so lovingly referred Is still im
portant in that land, and the olive tree
that produces it is almost as useful
to the Syrian hs the cow Is to the
American. 'The cow gives butter and
drink, und the olive tree gives butter
and food. When the workman on the
Mediterranean goes from home for a
day’s labor, he Often takes a pocketful
of olives and a piece of bread for his
lunch. Itemove butter, breakfast bacon
and fat meat from our vocabulary, put
olive oil in their place and we shall
begin to tliluk the thoughts of Mediter
ranean cooks.
Once cooks and palates are educated,
the blood does not know the difference
between the rich globules of fat that
come to it. It is fat that the human
system wnnts. and it makes no final
difference whether it comes from but
ter, bacon, lard, olive, cocoanut, goose
or bear. Fat Is fat, once It Is In our
blood. The source from which we
shall get this fundamental of nutrition
depends in part upon our bringing up,
but eventually our getting it depends
upon the ease of winning it from our
environment.—Atlantic Monthly.
HOW TURNER FIRED A GUN.
An Impromptu Effect That Startled
His Fellow Artists.
Turner’s Impromptu effects were at
times consternating to his fellow paint
ers. Mr. Randall Davies, quoting from
Leslie, gives in "Six Centuries of Paint
ing,” Constable’s experience in 1839,
when be exhibited his "Opening of
Waterloo Bridge.” It was placed be
side a gray sea piece, by Turner, which
lacked all positive color.
“Constable's picture seemed as if
painted with liquid gold and silver,
and Turner came several times while
he was heightening with vermilion and
lake the decorations and flags of the
city barges. Turner stood behind him
looking from the ‘Waterloo Bridge' to
his own picture, and at last brought his
palette from the great room where he
was touching another picture, and,
putting a round daub of red lead,
somewhat bigger than a shilling, on
his gray sea. went away without say
ing a word. The Intensity of his red
lead, made more vivid by the coolness
of his picture, caused even the ver
milion and lake of Constable to look
weak. ‘He has been here,' said Con
stable, ‘and fired a gun.' On the op
posite wall was a picture by Jones of
‘Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in
the Furnace.’ ‘A coal.’ said Cooper,
‘bns bounced across the room from
Jones’ picture and set fire to Turner’s
sea.’ ”
Next time Turner came In he glazed
the scarlet seal and shaped It into a
buoy.
Glazed Earthenware.
Glazed earthenware was long sup
posed to be of no more ancient date
thnn the ninth century, but the discov
ery of glazed ware in Egypt, of glazed
bricks in the ruins of Babylon, of
glazed coffins and enameled tiles in
other ancient cities proves that this is
not the case. The Arabs seem to be en
titled to the credit of having intro
duced glazed ware into modern Eu
rope. The Italians are said to have
become acquainted with this kind of
ware os it was manufactured in the
Islund of Majorca and gave it the
name of majolica. The French de
rived their first knowledge from the
Italinn manufactory at Faenza and
christened it faience.—London Satur

Liszt’s Rude Host.
High society has its crude personali
ties, if a story in one of the magazines
is true At a dinner given to the fa
mous pianist, Liszt, bis host. Count Lu
dolf, right in the middle of Liszt’s
most exquisite playing, said in a loud
voice. “If any one wishes to have a
game of whist there are tables in the
other room.” Liszt says the narrator,
stopped short but as no one moved he
consented amiably to remain at the
piano. The amount of wine that bad
been consumed by Liszt’s host on this
occasion is not stated.

To test light bread dough and make

this shows that it is in a condition to
continue rising.—Exchange.
