An important figure in tho beginnings of the English novel is Mrs. Aphra Belin (10 whose personal history is quite as interesting as any of her stories. Her father, 11 Mr. Johnson, had influence enough to get himself appointed lieutenant general of Surinam, and ho set sail for tho now world, taking his wife and children with him. Mr. Johnson did not live to see the regions he had"heon sent to rule, hut his wife and children spent some years in tho beautiful and romantic scenery of Surinam, and there Aphra found tho materials of her best novel, "Oroonoko." Tho time had not yet 20:110 when description of nature was a recognized feature in a story, but "Oroonoko" contains < <> .>? two passages where an attempt is mudo to reveal to the people of Englaml the beauties of .Surinam Those oessages liavo boon praised for their 'careless and picturesque power," jilt possibly tho second epithet is ess deserved than the lirst. IJure)ver, one i.s bound 1 <> say that Mrs. [John's imagination is apt t > enter nto too record of her oxporienees. When, after her return to Eng. and, she had tho honor of telling icr adventures to Charles 11, she minded among tlio l'auna of South Imeriea snakes of terrific dbnenions, but a certain license has alvays been accord, d to tho retail. is f snake stories, llcv most ouiir.orlinnry traveler's tr.'o is her a count f what she saw on her voya'.;o from intwerp to England.

An authority upon I ndian matters somo fow years baok I vns particularly struck by this I bought, and wroto: I "It is reported that England alono m rnports 1,200,000 pounds of iyory, I o obtain which 30,000 olophanta v | avo to bo annually killed, and. -the .'OrId's supply must, it has boon esimatod, necossitato 100,000 being nnually slaughtorod.

Tbo assumption is, fortunatoly for Lie world at largo, quite incorrect. ,s a matter of fact, our imports avrngo about tbo same year by year, ut there is a very important faotor bicb t-lie Indian authority just noted has ovidcntly overlooked? timely, that most of the ivory that 0 recoivo is technically known aa jad ivory?that, is, tusks which ivo boon taken from elephants long vcly speaking, a considerable quanty.
