While the making of artificial diamonds shows, at present, no sign of commercial importance, the diamonds produced being minute crystals and fragments of hardly more than microscopic size, yet the subject continues to attract the attention of chemists. We are accustomed to associate the use of horse-meat for human food with long and desperate sieges, in which ordinary food in sufficient quantities cannot be obtained by the inhabitants of the beleaguered city. Hut within a few years past the relative scarcity of cattle and the high price of meats in Germany have led to a large regular consumption of horse-meat in some of the chief cities of the empire. The recent use of copper sulphate for the disinfection of reservoirs and the destruction of algae and noxious germs in water has led to much discussion of the old idea that copper is dangerous to health. Dr. "George T. Moore, of the Department of Agriculture, maintains that a change has come over scientific opinion on this subject. Strange as it may seem, lie says, there is not an authentic case of copper poisoning on record, either in this country or abroad. A stereoscopic star chart is the successful novelty of T. II. Heath, the English astronomer. The stars in a given section of the heavens are drawn from two points of view that are supposed to be twenty-six eight years apart, and under a large stereoscope the double view gives a rough but very instructive impression of the stars floating in space at an approximation to their relative distances, instead of as points against the dark background of the sky. This result is a most interesting one. W e<l illiiK-Cltit lien, 'Ino mother or the now Crown Princess of Herman nave offense in some quarters by ordering lier daughter's trousseau from Paris instead of patronizing (ieriuan industries. It is not at all strange that motherly pride should get the best of patriotism, and should desire the girlish beauty to be set off by dainty confections of French taste. The Princess is probably more satisfied with her wedding outfit than was lier husband's great-grandmother, Victoria of England. The story goes that when the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria was Introt bed to the Crown Prince of Prussia, she sot about planning an exquisite trousseau. Specially designed lace ami trimmings were ordered and beautiful embroideries boguu. it was to be a wardrobe tit. indeed, for a princess. Hut the royal mother was queen of her household no less than of the British nation. The dainty clothes were not fashioned after her own ideas. Everything was countermanded, the costly, fragile articles returned, the airy. Frencliy fabrics rejected. A solid, sensible and prosaic wardrobe was ordered in its place, well made, and serviceable enough to last a lifetime. It is said that the princess, when once out of sight of the royal and maternal eye. had the whole .substantial and ugly outfit packed securely away, and that she never wore one article of all that apparel.?Youth's Companion.

As the couple passed a department store the woman's Attention was attracted by a tailor-made gown, and she left lier busband to examine it more closely. When she returned she seemed annoyed. "You never look at anything that interests me any more," she complained. "You don't care how I dress. You don't care for me any more. Why. you haven't even kissed me for a month." "Indeed. I am sorry, but it is not my fault." said the man to whom she had just been speaking. Turning, the woman looked at him, gasped and mumbled out an apology. She had taken the arm of a stranger.?

Moxom of Springfield tells of John Fisko, which illustrates his frankness: It seems that one day his wife had to report to him that their son had been guilty of calling Mrs. Jones, a neighbor, a fool and Mr. Jones a much worse fool. Prof. Fisko sent for the youngster, and when he appeared in the library said to him sternly: "My son, is it true that you said Mrs. Jones was a fool?" Hanging his head the boy replied: "Yes, father, I did." "And did you call Mr. Jones a worse fool?" "Yes, father." After a moment's reflection the famous historian said slowly: "Well, my son. that is just about the distinction I should make."?Boston Record. Does It Pay? The nervous man had just met his friend, who for some months past had been in retirement for his health. "I have sometimes thought it might be a good thing for a man to go away for awhile." he said, "and to get cured perhaps of habits that were gaining too strong a hold on him. I changed my opinion on the second part of that proposition, however, after I had an evening with a friend of mine who had just come back from a course of treat ment. "Wo were together in a cafe for an hour or more. During all that time he would, of course, not take a drink Such a thing never occurred to him But he would take some coffee. I think I had two highballs while we talked. I know lie had seven pots of black coffee. There didn't seem to be much doubt that he had gotten unuii. nc mm acquired an other, however, that made It seem a stand-off whether he had gained by ,tho change." Judge Ready with Compliments. Judge Whitman is the only bachelor on the hoard of city magistrates in Sew York. He was called upon one forenoon to marry a couple from Philadelphia. The bride handed him a landsome rose from her bouquet and $aid: "I want you to take it homo to Four wife." "I shall he delighted to iccept it." said his honor, "but can't I wear it myself? I have no wife." The bride looked at him with compassion. "That's too bad," she said, 'and you so good-looking. Then she '.urned to him suddenly and said: 'Won't you come over to Philadelphia tad let me introduce you to my sis!er?" "If she looks liko you." re sponded the judge with a bow, "I shall be tempted to take the next '.rain." Largest Newspaper Office. "Which is the largest, newspaper office in the world?" asks the 'Printers' Engineer.' America naturally claims that the 'New York Times' building, with its thirty-one stories and an area of 116,349 square feet, holds the record. This, however, is no longer the case. The magnificent edifice recently built for the production of the 'Scotsman' (Edinburgh) puts the former building completely in the shade, for although it can boast thirteen stories, yet it possesses an area of 201,787 square feet. This building is more than twice the size of that of the 'New York Times.'?London TitBits. GET POWER. The Sopply Come* From Food. If we get power from food, why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skilfully selected food that exactly fits the requirements of the body. l'oor fuel makes a poor Are and n poor tire is not n good steam producer. "From not knowing how to select the right food to lit my needs I suffered grievously for n long time from stomach troubles," writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. "It seemed as if I would never be nble to And out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could ent would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heart-burn and Ailed my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skeleton, and In time was compelled to keep to my bed. "A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and It had such good effect from the verv i?edniiint' that I have kept up Its use ever since. 1 was surprised at the ease with which I digested It. It proved to be Just what I needed. All my unpleasant symptoms, the heart-burn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 1)8 to 110 lbs., my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my house( work and enjoy it. The Grape-Nuts food did It."

Instrument Shows Heart's Action During Muscular Work and After. A recent publication of the University of Michigan describes an instrument for securing a continuous gra- , phlc record of the pulse rate in man which afford valuable indications of the heart's work. The records showed that the commencement of muscular work Js followed almost simultaneously by a marked acceleration of the* pulse. In fact, this modification of the pulse rate is observed in the next heart cycle after the work begins. In typical cases there are three wellmarked stages?a primary rise, a period of sustained acceleration and a secondary rise. Similar stages of decrease in rate occur after the work stops. The rapidity of the pulse during work depends not only upon the amount of work done, but much more upon the manner in which it is done. Speed and resistance are factors requiring separate consideration and of these two speed has the greater influence. These records show that while muscular work may not appreciably require the expenditure of bodily force it immediately reacts upon the heart and that conversely cessation of muscular exertion is an immediate relief to the heart. View of Happiaess. I have been trying to figure out a ireneral condition of happiness, and I reach the conclusion that it consists mainly in the ability to march with one's own generation, neither deploring the progress the generation makes nor grumbling because it doesn't make more, says Frank Putnam in the National Magazine. We can understand best the men and women of our own age, or near it. Dr. Osier spoke truth when he said that most men cease to be receptive to new ideas after 40; hence our elders in the 50s and <!0s and 70s, say. who have ably guided the affairs of the world during the decades immediately ahead of us will often seem to us to mave less rapidly than we think they should, toward new industrial conditions. And the generation immediately behind us? the restless chaps in their 20s, are putting more pressure upon us from the rear than we are able to believe Is wholly justified. Heroic Remedy. Some anonymous individual with no poetry in his soul has written to a New York paper complaining of a whip-poor-will that bothers him at night, and another anonymous individual who has in his soul no innate love or mrcis suggests: , "If Pater Familias really desires to drive the whip-poor-will from the tree, the following is a recipe guaranteed to cause it to quit the place: "R: One dozen roman candles.

Gnu For Llebtlnc Formerly Conflnad to ClttM and Lnrc Tom, Now in General Uae In the Country. The satisfactory lighting of suburban and country homes requires that the means used shall be convenient, safe, economical and furnish a brilliuut, penetrating, effulgent light. Everybody admits that these are not the characteristics of the caudle or kerosene lamp, which, formerly, were the only feasible means of producing light for domestic use in the rurul districts. For generations there was a crying need, a yearning for something better, which was not satisfied. A few years ago deliverance came iu the shape of the chemical compound, Cnlclum Carbide, from which, by the simple application of water, the gas Acetylene is cierivea. Acetylene meets all tlie requirements fully nnil admirably and Is belrg generally used. Common lime and carbon In the form of coke or coal are the raw materials which, fused in an intensely heated furnace, make Calcium Carbide, and there Is no ditilculty in obtaining It in any part of the country. The machine iuto which the Calcium Carbide is fed and from which the Acetylene is distributed through the building to be lighted, is but little larger than a thirty-gallon milk can. and of the same general form. It is easily and cheaply installed, either in the cellar or in an outbuilding. The light from burning Acetylene is exquisite, und lighting experts agree that it surpasses all other known illuminants. It does not taint the air nor strain the eyes, and is not objectionable in any respect. Every up-to-date rural residence should be equipped with Acetylene light. Wal-lu-lah.
