Instead of this, they reverse the,conditions, and in place of the Softest, finest and most delicate material next to the body, they possess themselves of a heterogeneous mass of cheap garments, of coarse fabric and sloppy workmanship, 3iid save the down of toilet for the outside, says the New York Ledger. Even the goose has sense enough to protest against being deprived of the fine underwear with which nature has provided her, but her1 sister geese of the human family not only make no protest, but actually from Choice select an outfit at which any feathered gosling would quack a loud defiance. It might be interesting to trace not a,few domestic infelicities and not a few disrupted households to a systematic disregard for the example of the model above mentioned. There are men so ultra fastidious that they cannot tolerate untidiness even in their wives, and the underwear of some well-to-d- o women is of itself sufficient to drive a man, of delicate .sensibilities from his domestic sanctuary. People of sense cannot and will not. respect a woqian whose underwear is untidy or shabby when she can have better. iHer claim to respect is frail, indeed,' if, she puts a seventy-five-dolldress over fiftiy-ceundergarments. Personal tidiness is too apt to be neglected in the jhurry and undisciplined worry of the average household. Conveniences and privacy, too, are lacking in many cases, and so from day to day good resolutions fade and fail, and the habit of disorderly and dirty garments creeps into the home circle and shadows the fireside by its presence. ..The subject cjf underwear is by no means an unimportant one. The underclothes of any woman are the most perfect index of her character and refinement of mind, as well as her taste and education. ( i j Wasnt that just like a man? Washington Post.

To give an idea of the! size of the stones, the owner of the ground has built an observatory, two stories in height, and circular in form,j which stands upon the larger of jthe two stones and encloses the other. There is ample room inside of this building for several persons to stand, and on the roeff, outside, a promenade extends entirely around the observatory. Several peculiarities of these strange stones are worthy of note. Both are heart-shapethey are identical in position; the apex of each points directly north, and every line and feature of the larger stone is perfectly reproduced in the . smaller. Nor is this the strangest part of the matter. The smaller rock weighs sixteen tons, and is apparently as firm as the everlasting .hills. The strongest man may push and tug in a vain attempt to move it, unless he touches a certain spot; but if a child puts his little finger on this spot, with a gentle, pushing motion, the huge mass of granite begins to rock. The movement is regular and almost noiseless, and investigation proves that the great rock rests on three almost imperceptible pivots, and thus swings clear of its base. Another interesting rocking stone may be seep near Pala, in San Diego county, where it is regarded with great' veneration by the Indians.

Scientists declare that they were caused by water crosins, but some superstitious people believe that they were held sacred by the Indians, while still others aver that they were the altars of a people who passed from the earth ages ago.

Raising; Ivory for' Market. Naturalists and' commercial experts are bewailing the fact that there is danger that the supply of elephant ivory may soon be exhausted. At least sixty thousand elephants are slaughtered yearly to obtain the amount of ivory necessary to supply the worlds demand. The value of ivory depends somewhat on the locality from which it comes. West African ivory is the most valuable. It is exceedingly finegrained, and some of the choicest speciapmens have the comes best The of onyx. ivory pearance from enimals found in very warm and humid atmospheres. Inmortherly situations, where the air is cooler and dry, the product is coarse and harsh, lacking the velvety ' elasticity of the other. Guinea ivory is slightly greenish at first, but whitens upon exposure to the air and light. Vegetable ivory' is obtained from taqua seed, and is a valuable' substitute for There are several the real article. manufactured ivories, of which celluloid is best known and is, perhaps, the most valuable.
