The name of margarine has been

copper, nickel and manganese, says the
New York Sun. The specific resistance

by high temperatures; on this account
it is adapted to the manufacture OF
measuring instruments and of electri-
cal apparatus in general those which
are required to vary their resistance to
as slight degree as possible under
different degrees Of heat. A further
interesting fact is mentioned, namely,
that while other metals increase their
resistance by the raising of the temper
ature, that of margarine is diminished.

Commander Alfred Carpenter, writing

down to pick one of them up found
my fingers caught by suckers on the
weed, the fronds of which had closed
tightly upon them. The fish had been
caught in every conceivable way-by

Scholarly, Adroit and Persuasive Use Of
Language.
In all probability M. Renan, says the
London Spectator, touched highwater
mark in the art OF discovering right
line in the art of obliquity, and of max
ing mo" look like ''yes;" but there are,
all over the world, hundreds of men
who instinctively follow the same plan;
who cannot bear the slightest friction
in social and intellectual intercourse;
and who always start a contradic tion
by pointing out that at bottom they en-
tirely agree with you, though there is
just one small and unimportant point
on which they differ. You make a
quotation or state fact in the presence
Of a man of this type, and knowing that
it is his subject, ask whether you have
''got it right You have not; but this
does not in the least incline him to put
you right plainly and simply. He as
sures you instead that your version is
substantially correct; and then, by a
series of subtle gradations, he manages
to put into your mouth the true story.
A good illustra tion of the method of
correction we mean is given by the
story of the schoolmaster who was de-
termined not to discourage his pupils
by abrupt corrections. On the occasion
of the story, one Of the boys was asked
to give the English Of the word niger"

color, dark neutral tint-in fact,

Marriage In Prussia.

Some interesting statistics on mar
riage in Prussia show that the marriage
rate has risen from or to II in the
j, 600 inhabitants during the last years.
This rate is as high as thatin the good
old times from 1916 to 1870. The aver
age age Of marrying men remains at
the former figure OF twenty-nine and
one-half. In 1881 it was twenty-nine
and two-thirds, in 1855 enty-nine and
two-ffths So that men marry neither
less often nor at q later age than for
nerly. On the other hand, . great dif-
ference has taken place il the class Of
men who marry. Only forty per cent
were independent; that is, either with
private means or tradesmen, officials or
officers; sixty per cent were laborers,
servants or factory hands The latter
form the majority.

APPLES AS MEDICINE
The Phosphorus Found In Thorn Il n
Admirable Food for the Brain.

The Phosphorus Found In Thorn Il an
Admirable Food for the Brain.
Chemically, the apple is composed OF
vegetable fiber, albumen. sugar, gum,
chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime
and much water, says Medical Age.
Furthermore, the German analysts say
that the apple contains larger per-
centage of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is
admirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter, lecithin, OF
the brain and spinal cord.
It is, perhaps, for the same reason,
rudely understood that old Scandinavian
traditions represent the apple as the
food of the gods, who, when they felt
themselves to be growing feeble and in
firm, resorted to this fruit for renewing
their powers of mind and body. Also
the acids of the apple are of signal use
for men of sedentary habits whose
lives are sluggish in action, those acids
serving to eliminate from the body
noxious matters which, if retained,
would make the brain heavy and dull,
or bring about jaundice or skin erup-
tions and other allied troubles.
Some such an experience must have
led to our custom of taking apple sauce
with roast pork, rich goose and like
dishes. The malic acid Of ripe apples,
either raw or cooked, will neutralize
any excess of chalky matter engendered
by eating too much meat. 1t is also the
fact that such fresh fruits as the apple,
the pear and the plum, when taken ripe
and without sugar, diminish acidity in
the stomach rather than provoke it.
Their vegetable sauces and juices are
converted into alkaline carbonates,
which tend to cot1nteract acidity.

these There are only four men whom Mr..
Gladstone takes into his confidence suf.
fciently to consult with in regard to the
personnel of the Cabinet. These are Sir
William Harcourt. Earl Spencer. John
Morley and Lord Herschell. He has
cautiously sounded few others as to their
willingness to accept Office, but has not
committed himself to any appointments.
He always reserves the absolute RI light of
nominating his colleagues but he has not

The Sunday Sun denies the current
rumors that there is a difference of opinion
between Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Rose
berry to the foreign policy that the now
government should pursue. The Sun de-
clares that Rosebery is in absolute accord
with Gladstone. The real reason for his
probable omission from the Cabinet is that
