tho western part OF the state there was
danger of damage by the Hessian fly,

A Good MANY Wives,

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll is apt in stories,
and some of them have become famous.
He is never at loss for good story to
illustrate any point. Not long ago group
of gentlemen, in which the colonel was the
central figure, were discussing people who
have knack of saying the right thing at
the wrong time. The colonel said:
II can illustrate that by relating case
in point which occurred in Western
state. A well to do merchant, Mr.. Thomp-
son, living in town noted for its malaria
and funerals, whenever his wife died
would go into an adjoining county and
marry again. : He had married his fourth
wife and taken her to the malarial town to
enjoy quinine and domestic felicity, when.
as the novelists say, this story begins. A
loquacious lady in the healthy county was
in the habit of assisting Mr. Thompson to
find some eligible young woman willing to
marry him and take her chances. Some
six months after he married his fourth
wife he appeared again in the healthy
county. The loquacious lady greeted him
and said:
Glow is your wife, Mr.. Thompson"
''She is dead" he replied sadly.
What, dead againr' cried the loqua-
cious woman in surprise.-New York

Struggling with English.

restaurant after the performance. A very
merry time was passed, and before the sup
per was over a MONDAY luncheon was
planned for Monday. OF course the count

The First Aluminium Plant,

Aluminium has steadily advanced in i'm
portance of late years, and recent discover
les, largely reducing the cost of produc-
ton, cannot fail to lead to a considerably
augmented output of this metal, which ap-
pears undoubtedly destined to play an in
creasingly commanding part in the metal
lurgical world.
The name is derived from the "alumen'
of the Romans, though the metal we thus
designate is not believed to have been
known to the arcients. Magraff, in the
middle of the Eighteenth century proved
the earth alumina to be a distinct sub
stance, but it was not until about the year
1928 that Wholer, to whom must be credit
ed the true discovery of aluminium, first
succeeded in extracting the metal. Alu-
minium remained. however, laboratory
prodlct until some thirty years later, when
St Claire Deville, under the auspices Of
Napoleon LII, perfected its manufacture,
and placed the metal On a commercial
basis The first works for producing alu-
miniun in any quantity were established
near Aries, in France, and by what has
since become known as the Devilie process.
The metal could be procured in Paris in
1857 at about Is. Cd per ounce.-Chambexs'

Il shall never forget that day. 1t WAS in
1854. The army had just returned from
the south and was encamped On Riker's
Island One day my brother, who was an
aide-de-camp to the general, obtained per
mission for my mother and me- "a visit the
island. Twas dressed in black velvet with
a wide linen collar, and had a soft hat of
black felt stuck jauntily over my curls
AS walked about the village of white can
vas, the officers and men would come out
and hug and kiss me as they thought of
their own dear ones at home whom they
should soon be permitted to see again. l
was the first child they had seen since their
arrival north.
Some one, probably my brother, had
told them about my song and they made
me sing it. As l sang, the tears would
flow down the rugged cheeks of the dear
old fellows as, with broken voices, they
joined in the chorus. Their approval took
practical form. My pockets soon began
to be heavy with coins of various kinds.
Many man gave me the last cent he had
in the world. None of them had much
money at that time, fancy.
II received just S5.06 besides a bag Of
crackers which kind hearted soldier gave
me. Bad luck, however, attended me.
The tug which had brought us from this
city went away and left us. We had to
hire farmer to take us in an OK cart to
the other side of the island, where we took
a ferrybo The farmer charged US five
dollars, which about used up my first pro-
fessional fee.
My love for the song is so well known
in the musical profession that an American
woman violinist, in order, as she said, to
keep peace in the family, has nicknamed
my wife Annie Laurie. New York Trib-
