Ambergris and Amber.
There is some popular confusion of
ambergris with amber; In fact, how-1
•ver, tfjere la no relation between
them. Ilut for a l«ng time the nature
of ambergris was hidden in mystery.
In ancient days it waa commonly be-
lieved that It flowed up from the bot-
tom of the sea. Slnbad the Sailor
tells of a spring of ambergris that he |
found; but it was in a crude state.)
The fish swallowed it and then dis-
gorged it in congealed form and I**

of the sea. This story harmonizes
perfectly with fhe old Arabian belief I

Undertakers Worried.
Th« dignity of a physician and un-
dertalier has been sadly ruffled by the
strange bequest of Mrs. Sarah Slaugh-
ter de Lorme, who died In Berkeley,
Cal., leaving her neighbors Instruc-
tions that her two pet spitz dogs be
chloroformed and cremated with her,
and their ashes be mixed with those
of herself and her nephew, upon his
death, and strewn on the hillside.
