Aluminium,

Passing to the varied uses to which
this comparatively new metal has been
put, we find, among others, telescope
tubes, opera glasses, sextants, physical
and surgical apparatus, statuettes and
works of art, culinary utensils, coinage,
jewelry and a host of similar objects
made from it, in which lightness and
resistants furnishing are desiderata.
In forming alloys generally aluminium
has very wide field. With iron, three
or four pounds to the ton reduces the
melting point to such a liquid state
that the mixture fills the smallest in
terstices and produces the finest cast
ings. With "copper" steel and silver
aluminium also produces valuable al
loys
1t is not little curious to note that
a metal so difficult and costly of extrac-
ton is in its oxidized condition very
abundantly met with in nature. Thus,
an ordinary brick contains an appreci-
able amount of aluminium, and a re-
cent writer has pointed out that an an
nual production of 10000, 900 tons of
the metal from such a source would at
the end of 100 years leave practically
untouched in this country alone the in.

Sober ouaker's Little Joke und It'
Awfui. Startling Result.
There IS white haired old Friend
living in Chester county whose face
wears an expression Of deep sorrow that
seems craven there Friends who have
known him for twenty-five years have
the first smile to see on his broad, fur
rowed face. He is a wonderfully be
nevolent and kindly old Quaker, es-
pecially to the colored people, who come
TO him from miles around for counsel
and assistance.
There is a shadow on the old mans
life of which few of his friends have
any idea. Ii was cast way back in the
war times. His home had been a
station on the underground railway, y
and to bis home one bleak night came
a bright eyed, ebony skinned little run
away of about fourteen years. He
was such quick witted, chipper little
chap that the kind hearted Quaker
concluded to keep him to run errands
and do chores about the farm, especial
ly as he pleaded SO hard to be allowed
to stay 1t was not long, however, be
fore he developed into the most incor-
rightly lnichievous little "darkey" that
ever came out of slavery.
Pleadings, lectures and seedlings had
no more effect on him than the whist
ling of the wind through the trees. A
good birch switch would hold him in
check for an hour or two, but his ref
ormation would disappear with the
sting. One day the Quaker went on
railway journey and took the little col
ored lad with him. On the road was
a long tunnel, and before they reached
it it occurred to the Friend that its ter
rors might be utilized in bringing about
a reformation in the black bundle Of
mischief beside him. So he said:
Caesar, have tried to befriend
thee, and you give me only disobe
dience and trouble in return. Ingrati
tude is black sin, and now | fear thee
must answer for it."
Just before they reached the tunnel
he rose and said gravely, Caesar, !
leave thee to thy punishment"
The train dashed into the blackness
of the tunnel with a shrek from the
locomotive like a triumphant fiend,
and when it emerged into the light
Caesar was lying in heap on the floor,
between the seats. They picked him
up tenderly.

rapoieon's overtures TO the Salons.
It was the wish of Napoleon to re
construct a society that should rival in
brilliancy the old courts. With this
view he called to his aid few women
whose name, position, education and
reputation for esprit and fine manners
he thought sufficient guarantee OF
success. But he soon learned that il
could not be commanded at will. The
reply OF the Ducllesse d'Abrantes, who
has left us so many pleasant reminis
cences of this period, in which she was
an actor as we'll as an observer, was
very apt.
"You can do all that | wish," he
said to her; 'you are all young and al
most all pretty; all, well a young and
a pretty woman can do anything she
likes
"Sire, what your majesty says may
be true" she replied, "but only to a
certain point. If the emperor, instead
of his guard and his good soldiers, had
only conscripts who would recoil under
fire, he could not win great battles like
that of Austerlitz. Nevertheless he is
the first general in the world"
But this social life had a personal
end 1t was to furnish an added in.
strunent of power to the autocrat who
ruled. 1t was to reflect always and
everywhere the glory of Napoleon. The
period which saw its cleverest woman
in hopeless exile and its most beautiful
one under similar ban for the crime
Of being her friend was not one which
favored intellectual supremacy. The
empire did not encourage literature, il
sienced philosophy and oppressed the
talent that did not glorify itself. Its
blighting touch rested upon the whole
social fabric. The finer elements which,
to some extent, entered into it, were
lost in the glare of display and preten
sion. The true spirit of conversation
was limited to private coteries that kept
in the shade and were too
small to be noted. Amelia Gere Mason
