Tn teacher askei his class to tell him the
aames OF the precious stones.
birthstone" answered one bright boy.
AN this was not one of the precious stones the
eacher was thinking Of, the boy was sent to
he tail end OF the class.
iressing himself to the next lad in turn, 'now
ell me the name OF the most precious stone
Eou know Of"
"~Grindstone, replied the boy, whose father
8 q we'll known carpenter. Tn boys laughed,
out the teacher was cross, and whacked the
poor fellow over the shoulders.
Whatever we may think Of the boy with
The birthstone, he who thought the grindstone
precious was not far out Of the way. 1t is
aot only the looks Of an article, but it's actual

Gold Is popularity considered the best known
u the precious metals, and yet there is q
important purposes is vastly more precious
Than gold. Its money value Is only a few
cents a pound, while that of gold Is about six.
zen dollars an ounce. That plain-loohina
METAL is IRON.
Every medical man knows that there is iron
N the blood, and that there must be O certain
proportion OF that precious metal, or else the
blood Is thin and poor, and its owner is pale
Ind weak and languid, and subject to the at.
Jack OF every disease in the catalogue. Now,
now to get it, there Is the question. Well, it
was a long, long while after medical science
discovered the existence and the need Of iron
in the blood, that chemical science found out
how to make preparation which would carry
it into the circulation in such a way as to do
good and do no mischief. Many were the at
tempts, and much was the mischief that fol.
owed. At last complete success was at.
sained, and the preparation was produced
