Stellite, the harder than steel cobalt-chromium alloy of Elwood Haynes that has proven so useful in ciitlery, is suggested as a partial substitute for platinum. Its melting point is about the same and, while unfitted for chemical use by j*- in some strong I lid l/Vll VOiv<??vj acids, it seems well adapted forj jewelry, which now absorbs a large part of the production of the $100an-ounce metal.

Sherard, of Upper Main street, is a fancy gardener and is preparing to have something to eat when both cornless and wheatless days come about. His latest experiment is with the Chinese cabbage. The cabbage grows like a celery stalk, reaching the height of about two feet, beine pure white in color. The leaves are of thick texture and are light green in color. The latter makes delightful slaw while the stalk can be used for salads. The Chinese cabbage, however, is cooked and eaten generally as the ordinary cabbage.
