Pure gold is 24 carats tine and oud be too soft for everyday use. i it is mixed with an alloy to make harder. The best alloy known for lis purpose is copper, as it interires very little with the color of the lid. If a ring is only 14 carat that eans that nearly half of it is eop>r, and many that are sold for that "e not even 14 carats. In England 1 such rings are stamped to show iactly what they are. But when we come to the diaond in the ring and the jeweller lis us thrt it is two carats or one id a. half he does not refer to the treness of the stone at all as he (1 when speaking of the gold, beuise a carat is a weight when spok1 of in connection with a diamond.

Sarler, a nerve spealist, in addressing the Chicago nderwriters' association, said rent ly: "Americinitis is a mental affection tused by too much work, too much iod and too little exercise, and is sponsible for 80 per cent of all seases in this country which canit be classified as either surgical infectious. "A game of baseball, a round of ?lf or a long walk in the country ill do more to cure Americanitis an all the medicines the doctors n nana out, "He prophesied that soon a sickman would not be able to borrow oney nor get commercial credit, r banks and business houses will ?ep as close track of the physical ndition of borrowers and time cusmers as they do now of their lents' financial standing."

We cannot all play golf, more is the pity, for it is a great game, especially for persons of a contemplati\e nature, who love nature and ! enjoy the great, big outdoors. Hut golf is a game of leisure and the | links are extended over real estate, and of real estate nothing need bo said. In Scotland, and in some sections of the United States, we believe there are free golf courses.
