CROSBY, Ky. Station Age nf, Cape Traverse. 168~¢j materials having been deposited ina small crucible made of lime, an electric current of large volume and low voltage is turned on, a temperature of 4,000 or 4,500 degrees F. is developed, and then the stuff is allowed to cool. The result- ing crystals are said to be harder than diamonds, which now take the second place. Carborundum comes next, and the rnby drops to the fourth rank. The carbide of titanium is as much harder than carborundum as carborun- dum is harder than emery. The latter two are only good for abrasive service— that is, they are employed only for grinding and polishing other very hard substances. It is probable that carbide of titanium will have a much more ex- tensive use. There are many rock cut- ting drills which consist of a tube in one edge of which are imbedded brown or black diamonds. M. Moissan’s new product will be both cheaper and more efficient than these. It may also be sub- stituted for real jewels in watches, del- icate balances and in other mechanism where small bits of particularly hard material are needed as bearings. The discoverer has applied for patents on his invention in thia country as well as Eu- repe, and it is thought probable that the French academy will award him a certain $10,000 prize offered some time ago for a satisfactory substitute for black diamonds. Titanium, when pure, is white and about half as heavy zsiron. I¢ is al- most impossible to buy any because there is no demand and consequently >no production. However, it is not so very seurce. An oxide of titanium, found in the form of small black stones that give a red mark, is picked up in some newly plowed fields in Pennsylvania and sells for $4 a pound. The metal is frequently found in combination with iran, but has hitherto been regarded as ;& Nuisance because it renders an ore re- fractory. A recent writer says, ‘‘Mil- lions of tonsof iron ore in Virginia and New York are made worthless by the presence of 5 or 6 per cent of titanium.”’ ~—-New York Tribune.

His wife, who has just died in France, to whom he was married in 1890, was a daughter of the Earl of athmore, of one of the oldest and ‘st houses of Europe, the peerago oe from 1606. Its great ancestor, Sir John Lyon, feudal baron of Forte- Viot, was son-in-law of Robert I! of Scotland. When Sir John married the Lady Jane Stuart, the king’s second daughter, he obtained by royal grant the thunedom or lordship of Glamis. The family history is closely connected with the vicissitudes of the royal Stuarts and the house of Albany, but in spite of the extinguisheieut of so many historical Scottish families that of Strathmore **has stood against the waves and weath- ere of time.’’—Washington Post. other Str ot —_—— DEATH CUTTING DOWN THE BABIES Lactated Food a Life-giver and Builder.

They Render Excellent Service if They Are Treated With Consideration, Japanese servants are excellent if you choose them with discretion and treat them with the established consideration of the country. There is a universal so- cial compact in Japan to make life pleasant by politeness. Everybody is more or Jess well bred and hates the man or woman who is yakamashu— hoisy, uncivil or exigent. People who lose their temper are al- Ways in a hurry, bang doors, swear ; AW: find ther out of ivve ze trctge RP nsélyes in a land where the lowest cooly learns | and practices an ancient courtesy from the time when he wabbles about as 4 baby upon his mother’s back. Therefore to be treated well in Japan—as perhaps, indeed, elsewhere—you must treat every- body, including well, and then you will emjoy the most pleas- aut and willing servic Your cook will doubtless cheat you a little, your jinrikisha man will now and then take too much sake, the mus- mu and the boy’s wife will gallop all over the place about everything you do, and the gardener and the coachman will fight cocks in the back yard when your back is turned, but if conscious of your own you can forgive the little sins of others. You can hardly fail to become closely attached to the quiet, soft voiced, Pleasant people, whe as soon as they have learned your ways will take real pleasure in making life agreeable to you. A present now and then of a kimono to the maids, of toys and sweetmeats to the children, a day’s holiday now and then granted to the theater or the wres- tling match are richly rewarded by such bright faces and unmistakable warmth of welcome on arriving and of good speed on going as repay you tenfold. Respectful as Japanese seryants are— and they never speak except on their knees and faces—they like to be taken into the family conversation and to sit sometimes in friendly abandon with the master and mistress, admiring dresses, picturés or western novelties and listen- ing sometimes to the samisen and koto as children of the household.—Edwiu Arnold in Scribper’s your domestics, HEART HOPE Raised in an [nstent After the Use of Dr. Agnew’s Cure for the Heart—A Potent Liquid Remedy—And no Case Too Acute ror Immediate Relief and Certain Cure. “For fifteen years I was a_ great sufferer from heart disease.
