but they honor MIN none the less for his

The reputation of an American president
who accomplishcs great things has to pass
through three stages. While he is in Office
or political action his enemies assail him
with unrelentng fury, and his friends too
often defend him by frantic eulogy or
weak and absurd apology. Death slcnces
the critics and creates a new and far more
cultured class of culogists, who vie witt,
each other in plins up rhetorical periods
OF praise till the real character is totally
lost and the Jackson or Lincoln of poprl-
lar song and patriotic cnlogy is rs much Il
mythical character as {omuluS or I.ycitr-
gus. The third generation comes, sweeps
away both tletraction and eulo-y, am,
forms 4 olerably just opinion We now
have this view Of jackson, not yet Of lin
coin. Fifty years from np~ Americans
will hold 4 vicw Of the latter which would
be simply amazing to men of this tinie If
they could fure:ee it. 5--

Platinum Moro Valuable Than Gold.


Prices of false teeth have gone up but
the rise was caused solely by the scarcity
of platinum, of which metal the little pins
are made with which to fasten each tooth
to the plate. All the platinum of COM
merce comes from Russian mines in tho
Ural mountains, and the supply is hardly
sufficient for the demand at present. The
consumption of platinum has greatly in
creased since the electric lighting compa-
MES began its use. Did you ever observe
the tiny, hairlike wire loop in each incan-
descent light?
That wire Is made of platinum, which is
one OF the very hardest Of metals The
price of platinum has gone up to ABOUT so
an ounce, which is considerably higher
than 32-carat gold. Thus it comes about
that platinum is literally worth its weight
in gold," and more too. This may now
with propriety be classed among "the pre-
cious metals" 1t is found in Oregon and
several other parts of the United States,
