The Profit In Foam.

Some people deplore the use of foam
ing preparations in soda water, claiming
that such additions are totally uncalled
for and unwarranted, but it must never
theless be conceded that soda foam can
bring forward several valid arguments
in its own favor. In the first place, it
aids greatly in keeping tse gas from es-
Gaping tco rapidly from the tumbler. In
the second place, it undoubtedly adds
greatly to the dispensers profits, for it is
claimed that by adding two ounces of
foaming preparation to gallon of sirup
the confectioner can draw so more glasses
than without the foam
Thirdly, we must remember that the
appearance of any article of food or
drink plays fully as important part as
its taste in increasing the appetite and
stimulating the gastric secretions, and
when we bear all these facts in mind we
shall be inclined to look upon the snowy
foam with more leniency. And, indeed,
however we may look at it, there is no
denying the fact that it has come to stay,
and to stay probably for considerable
period of time, SO we must make the best
we can of the matter. Thomas War

Story of n Lustrous Diamond.

One of the finest diamonds in the world
was found not long since in the Brazilian
sands. 1t came in a novel form. A small
quartz rock was found, about the size
and shape of an egg, lying in the sands
along the bank of the Amazon in Brazil.
This was carried home by Brazilian
peasant, who was attracted by its odd
shape and light weight. For some time
it lay in his home with number of
other geological specimens, mere GU
riosity. Happening one day in handling
it to drop it ON a stone block, it burst
open and lay in halves on the block.
The hollow interior that gave the light
weight to the stone was filled with blood
red sand. In this sand lay the diamond,
a sparkling stone of the rarest quality.
The stone was later sold to diamond
merchant and left the finder exceedingly
wealthy.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat

Where Styles In Hats Rarely Change.

DR.. Doran tells us that the Natal
''fashionables" wear hats foot high in
height, made of the fat of oxen. They
first gradually anoint the head with a
pure grease, which, mixing with the
hair, fastens the hat on during the life
time of the wearer. The Myantses make
hat of board 12 inches by 8. They
place it on their heads, draw the hair
over it and seal it with wax. They can
not lie down without keeping their necks
straight, and when they comb their hair.
which they do once or twice a year, they
have to spend considerable time in melt
ing the wax before they can get their
hats off.-Philadelphia Ledger

while watch consumes about 1-54, ,OOO,-

for two years. An Edison telephone
