They Were Forming Opinions. The club was full. Evening papers were at a premium. An atrocious crime had been that day committed, and every member was reading the account of the tragedy and eagerly discussing

the details.

A Chinese Curiosity. "A Chinaman in San Francisco," says gossiper in the Phildadelphia Record, showed me once an ivory ball as big as your two fists, with six smaller balls

aside it. It was the most wonderful

thing I ever saw. The Chinaman said

that the balls had been begun by his grandfather and that he was the third generation to work on them. He told

me how the work was done.

"It begins with a solid block of ivory,

which is turned into a ball and then

carved in a latticed pattern with tiny saw toothed knives. Through the lat-

tice, with other knives that are bent in vasious shapes, the second ball is carv-

ed, but this is kept fast to the first one by a thin strip of ivory left at the top and by another left at the botton. Then

the third ball, with still finer knives, is tackled through the first and second ones, and so the work goes on till all the balls are finished, when the strips that hold them firm are cut away, and they all revolve freely, one inside the

other.

"This Chinaman said it was a cormmon thing for families to have such balls for hundreds of years - grandfather, father, son and grandson working

on them when they had nothing else to do. They are priceless, of course. Some

cheap balls are made of vegetable ivo-

ry, being carved while the material is soft, like a potato. These, though, are not worth more than a few dollars at the most."

The Evolution of the Pocket.

The ancient wore a single pouch at his belt. The modern has-how many pockets in an ordinary costume for out-

doors? Let us count them: In the

trousers five, in the waistcoat five, in

the jacket five, in the overcoat five, making 20 in all, a full score of little pokes or bags, and arranged so conveniently, that they are scarce noticed. Truly this is an evolution! How long may it be before we have pockets in our bathands - where the Irishman carries his pipe, the American soldier his toothbrush and internally the pettifogger his legal papers, the papers that his predecessors in England thrust into

the typical "green bag?" How long

before there may be pockets in our gloves - for there are, I believe, patents covering this invention - and in out

shoes? The cane also, with its screw

top, begins to be a useful receptacle. Two centuries from now, so the man

with a long foresight can clearly see, the main idea underlying the wearing

The chief purpose of garments will no longer be considered to protect the

of clothes will have entirely changed.

body. They will be regarded first of all as textile foundations for innumerable pockets. - Tudor Jenks in Woman's
