V’- Yes, these young gentlemen do care for what the world says about them, whatever else they would have you believe. They have as many suits in their wardrobes as the unsophisticated sprig of English nobil- ity who comes to the colonies to learn to farm. Not content with entertaining a score of tailorsâ€"strictly on credit, be it knowuâ€"in Toronto, they have been known to send their measure to a fashionable west end tailor in London, England, and import their garments therefrom. This, however, fis not a measure of reckless extravagance, for’good clothes are cheap there, don’t you know. . x Ostensibly a rough‘ diamond, the Resi- dence man has yet a proper regard for his setting. He is luxurious in his habits and to the student taste his room is absolutely Sybaritic. It is papered aesthetically with dado and border, half at the undergraduate 'expense and half at that of the college. On the floor is a. pretty carpet.

Residence men have always cultivated “ sassiety,” and, paradoxical as their attire about college may seem, they have the most profound respect for the fashion plates. Yonder youth, who saunt- ers brazenly into lecture halls and parades ‘ the campus in garments that would put a bod-carrier to the blush, will not stir outside of ’college bounds, no, not so far as the Caer Howell for his harmless, necessary Collins, without consulting at least two amorous looking-glasses, under- going the cleanest of shaves, and coming forth finally clad in purple and fine linen, in the boxiest of top coats, the shiniest of patent leathers, the pride and joy of his accommodating tailor and credulous boot- ‘maker, the pink of perfection, a living type of the latest mode, armed in the most fashionable cap-a-pie, and irreproachable from head to toe. With the Residence man the body is certainly not more than raiment.

But silent, smiling, or supercilious, these young gen- tlemen persevere in sending upward to the blue sky a steady mist of smoke, wearing one and all an expression as who should say “Look at me.

Large quantifies of this ivory have been found in the frozen soils of Siberia, it; being said that; nearly all the turned ivory work of Russia. has been made from this so-called fossil ivory. These extinct elephants, from which it, is obtained, have been immured in the frozen soil for countless centuries. In prehistoric times herds of these animals roamed over western Europe. Besides elephant ivory. other substances have been largely used in the carving oi the Middle Ages, notably walrus, narwhal, and hippopotamus ivory. It is interesting to note that King Ohtere of Norway visited King Alfred the Great in 890 A. 0., after a. walrus hunt in the North sea. one of the objects of which was the obtaining of walrus ivory. Another very important source of ivory is that obtained from the mammoth, the extinct Elephas primigenius. The chief source of ivory is that obtained from the elephants of Africa. and Asia. Ivory so obtained may be distinguished, owing to the African, when first cut, ex- hibiting hardly any grain, being first of a. transparent tint, afterward becoming lighter in color. Asiatic, when first cut, is like African which has been cut for some time, but becomes yellow by exposure to light. The African has a closer texture, and is capable of being more highly polished than the Asiatic variety. Really,I think that the Residence con- science is too elastic. The prayers recited by the dean in Latin are too much for the ordinary pass man, who thus derives no spiritual benefit therefrom. The English devotions in the east end lecture room are held every morning at 10 o’clock. All those who have no conscientious scruples are invited to attend. Strange that so many stay away ? HO\V IIE RAISES THE \\’I‘.\"D. Not being the son of a Croesus, the Re”- idence undergraduate must become a young Napoleon of finance. Let him tell you some day, when he is in aconfidential mood, how dexterouslv he can “cook” accounts, per- suading his unsuspecting father that he needs a. new Bible, that he has hired a. pew in church, that he has joined a. thousand and one missionary and charitable societies, and that the volume of classics spelt in Greek letters last month is not the same which in English characters must be bought this month. ‘ ‘ “Not just now,’ ’said Mr. Browu, “this 18 Mr. Blank’ 3 bill, ” and he handed it over to his ill- fated room- mate.

One‘ day he found the young gentleman smoking in his room. “Is Mr. Blank in ‘2” he asked. “Just gone out,” responded the ready- witted Blank. There was once an extravagant, Mr. Blank who had his room in the attic, far above the verandah and so assailable by debtors. He had a room~mate named Mr. Brown, 0 was seldom in.

It is no wonder then that the student goes in for rare editions of his favorite authors. In any Residence roow you will find French novels with yellom covers and alluring frontispieces. The young man terms this euphemisticaily “outside reading," “ general culture,” or something else equally sonorous and ambiguous. He explains that he is cultivating a pure prosc ‘ style, and so has sought it at the fountain ‘ head, the brilliant French writers of the nineteenth century. Strange to say, how- ever, the fiction is nearly all in translation. Even under the old dispensation, when It was considered infra dig. to study, there were those irrational undergraduates who squandered their money on books, not on the fiami-colored volumes of extensive cul- ture above alluded to, but on the authors _ prescribed in the curriculum. They put-l chased rare editions, editions deluxe. 'l‘hey V even went so far as to have them imported ' from England. . They sent them to the l book~binder’s and had them rebound mag- nificently.

The LAZIEST SET OF RASCALS IN THE WORLD. ‘Except when they are out hunting or plundering the Mashonas they do nothing but sit down all day long, feed, and drink beer. They brew their own beer from a small round grain very much like pearl barley. The women do all the work. It is beneath the dignity of a. Matabelc to do any work except hunt, or fight, or plunder. The women plough the land, cut down the trees for firewood, and even build the kraai. These huts are exactly in the form of a. beehive, made of branches of trees and long reeds plastered inside and out with mud. There is no window or door, only an opening to get through, and an opening at the top for the smoke to escape. A NIGHT WITH LIONS. By Jove, that was a night! The lions, which abound out there, went down to the river at night and crouched for their prey. The lion’s food is chiefly golden fowls, much like our gelena. These birds abound out there in flocks of tens of thousands, and go down at night time to the rivers to drink. That night when the lions were [about us there was no sleep. We tethered the oxen to the waggon, lit fires around, and stood for the most of the time rifle to I shoulder. The roar of those lions was something terrible in the still African desert. but they were afraid of the fires and the flashes from the rifles. snakes also abound in that country, but the natives are ‘not half as much afraid of snakes as the English. They are very cute in breaking their back with a stick and catching them by the neck. A snake’s back is easily broken with a. stick, and then, of course,its power is gone. The Matabele as a race are an offshoot from the Zulus, with whom they had a quarrel and trecked up into Matabeleland. They are the tallest and biggest race of men in Africa. I know of no bigger race of men in the world, and I have been in four continents. They are the uch. we country is very warmâ€"the natives do not want clothesâ€"but while warm the climate is really delightful in the uplands. There are marshes by the rivers where Englishmen are bound to have the fever, and along the rivers there are LOTS OF ALLIG ATORS. Some of the rivers have been filled with washings from the uplands, a very sandy soil, and are dry except during the rains ; but there is always water to be found in the beds of the rivers fby digging holes in the Sand. The country is not particularly ‘ mountainous, but rather rolling, and there i are some plains flat as the table, stretching for forty miles, which we crossed, and in places are very lofty trees, great groves of various woods, mostly pine. There are no i hedges or enclosures. All the country 1': open and the'roads are only tracks. The track we tuck was the principal one up through the country, and in places so bare and hot in the sunshine that we had to travel by night, as the sandy soil would burn up the feet of the cattle, it was so hot. We rested by day, and travelled from about eight to twelve and from three to seven in the morning, doing an average of about twenty miles per day. At one time we were two days Without water, and when the cattle got dowu to the river they were nearly done up. So we determined on only moving that night about a couple of miles from the river. me: he King a Banana With Sixty Wivesâ€"A Race of In}: Menâ€"Lots of Lions and Al- “gators. Two English pioneers named Job, who went through Matabeleland some years ago and have since returned to the old country, have given an Interesting account of their experiences.

The police suspected him, because he had been mysteriously ab- sent and was known to have been intimate with the drover. They did not arrest him, but constantly watched him for fourmonths. He had been poor, but now seemed to have money. In the course of a week he married and went away on a wedding tour. Two de- tectives followed him. Whenever he paid a hotel bill or ofi‘ered money for any purpose they secured the bank notes which had been in his possession. Subsequently he made several journeys with the detectives behind him, and finally went to Minnesota. There he paid out a $20 bill with a. red thumb mark on one corner. The police ar- ‘ rested him as soon as they examined it. On the trial the torn wrapper with its blood mark was identified as having been in the drover’s possession. The bank notes, which had been traced to the assassin,were put in, , with the last one paid out by him on top. I The smear of blood on the wrapper corres- ponded precisely with the marks of the I the bank notes underneath. The specialist’s I magnifying-glass revealed unerringly howl l the murderer’s thumb, in tearing open the envelope, had touched the first bank note. It was circumstantial evidence. conclusive of guilt. The murderer was convicted and banged. before leaping over the fence, had torn open the wrapper of the package and flung it on the ground. This was picked up by the police and marks of blood were found upon it. It was the only clew in their pos- session. It Was Enough to Trace, Convict and Hans an 01:10 Murderer. Cases in which a. man has been convicted of crime on purely circumstantial evidence are of frequent occurrence, but in the ma.- jority of instances it would not be: difficult to point to at least one weak link in the chain of guilt. The New York Recorder recalls a striking case in which a. prisoner was found guilty on testimony that left no room for even the shadow of adoubt. One nifiht an assassin entered a'; drover’s‘ house in Ohio, killed the inmates and secured a.‘ scaled package containing $1,800 in bank 1‘ notes. In order to conceal his crime, he set fire to the house before leaving it. The building burned slowly, and the neighbors were enabled to extinguish the flames and to discover the murderous work which had been done. --- «7-..- “vulva. all“ we could séé it from the bills, as Old Ben said that he would not allow his country to be made a. track for the land of Ophir, as he knew that we Were after gold.

These Mashonss 'are not so powerful as the Matabele. and they are smaller men, and “Old Ben” would, say that he must not allow the Mashonas to multiply, because if so they would probably try to take his country. And once or twice a year he would go raiding for their cattle and for slaves. These slaves would have to do all the drudgery and other things unmentionable.

For three or four years prior to the time Mr. Holman left Denver there were reports constantly made to the man- agers of this concern that their boxes had been robbed. The detectives were set to work: We would watch the place carefully for months at a time without result, but within a week of the time we would cease to wat‘ch another robbery would occur. Of course, the safe vault people would immedi- ately make good the loss since if it, became known to the public their business would be ruined. Several times during the year 1889 were the vaults robbed. Mr. Holman, as well as being cashier of the bank above, was a director of the vault company. He seemed very anxious that we should secure the thief. Two of our ofiicers at last asked permission to remain in the bank at night, so that they might be able to hear any noises beneath. Mr. Holman granted the request and many evenings he remained with them in his office. Doing business with his bank was a rich miner, who, on January 8, 1891, returned from Europe with his wife. He visxted the bank about noon that day and deposited several thousands of d9”...â€" ars. He told Mr. Holman that his Wife had purchased about $75,000 worth of . diamonds while in Paris as an invesrment, T and stated that he wished to place them in his safe for a few days. Mr. Holman told , him that he coul‘d not assume the responsi- : bility, but- that his best plan was to deposit them with the vault company. The miner, whose name is W'iliiam Hodgson, took-his advice, and did deposit the diamonds as , directed. Two weeks later there was a ' ,Iball given in Denver in honor of a New . l '3 York society belle and Mrs. Hodgson de- sired to wear some of her diamonds. She went with her husband to the vaults to pick out what she wanted. At the vault oifice they met Mr. Holman, who began chatting with them, and expressed a desire to see the diamonds. He went with them to the drawer and stood by while Mr. Hodgson turned the combination lock. Mrs. Hod g- son took a necklace and a few rings out, and left the «balance. She returned the next afternoon ‘ to replace them and found to her astonishment that all the others were missing: I. That ,day Mr. :Hol- man was not at his office, hahring sent Word that he was ill.

Within 12 hours he brought Mr. Holman and me face to face, and here we are. That is all I know about the case. ” “ If that is all you know, Melon, you will have a nice job convicting me of the robbery of these diamonds, ” said Holman, as he shook hands with the reporter and the train moved off.
