A Cane of Many Pieces.

There is a cane on exhibition'in Eureka that is a marvel of ingenuity. It is composed of no less than 804 pieces. There are forty-eight joints of a shark’s back-bftne, made fast together by means of a steel rod. These joints are all finished and ornamented with walrus tusk, vulcanized rubber, abalone shell, pearl shell, manzanita, inadrone, yew wood, mountain maOogany, hazel, myrtle, maple, oak, rosabush, redwood burhl and laurel busn. This unique novelty was designed and made by David Wilson. It is a valuable cane and its maker deserves great credit for his work.— [Eureka (Nev.) Enterprise. milch cows bring on an avencge
