STONES THAT WILL BEND.
Peculiar variety of sandstone Found in
Brazil.

Peculiar variety of Sandstone Found In
Brazil
OF most stones rigidity is one of the
most marked characteristics, and it is
hard for uninformed people to believe
that there are any stones that
can be bent There are some, how
ever. that are more flexible than
wood and bend readily under slight
pressure without breaking. The most
abundant of these is itaeolumnite, or
flexible sandstone. which is found in
large deposits in Brazil This
stone is composed of separate
grains of sand cemented together
with a mineral closely resembling
mica or sericite. The minerals being
quite flexible in themselves confer the
same property upon the stone as a
whole, The way in which the cement
ing material was introduced into the
itacolumite is not easy of explanation.
Mica and sericite are not soluble and
could not have been deposited by
water like ealeite or silica. 1t is most
probable that they were originally in
trodueed in the form of clay or some
similar material and afterwards meta
morphosed bv test, pressure and SUI
perheated steam into mieaceous min
eral. Instances of similar change Of
one mineral species into another are
very common.

The second edition of the December
Worlds Fair Cosmopolitan brings the
total up to the extraordinary figure OF
100000 copies, an unprecedented result
in the history of magazines. Four hun
dred thousand copies-200 tons-ninety-
four million pages-enough to fill 200
wagons with 1000 pounds each-in a
single line, in close order, this would be
file of wagons more than mile and a
half long. This means not less than 2, 000,-
600 readers, scattered throughout every
town and village IN the United States.
The course of The CosmopolitGn for the
past twelve months may be compared to
that of rolling SNOWFALL; more sub
scribers mean more money spent in buy
ing the best articles and best illustrations
in the world better illustrations and
better articles mean more subscribers, and
so the two things are acting and reacting
upon each other until it seems probable
that the day is not far distant when the
magazine publisher will be able to give
80 excellent an article that it will claim
the attention of every intelligent reader
in the country.

MIDWINTER DAYS IN
WHITE.

Conditions we're never before
so favorable for retail buyers OF
Women's Muslin underwear.
Manufacturers have welcom-
ed work on any terms, so it let
them keep their organizations
intact, and the larger the or
ders the more willing have they
been to make concessions.
In Januaries past we have
had special sales Of Women's
Muslin Underwear that became
the talk of the country, 6Wt
none Of them in any respect
equaied IN interest the one pre-
pared for January 1894.
More than THREE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY THOUSAND garments
have been gathered for the be-
ginning of the sale, and other
thousands, ike snowy mount
aims, will be drifting in as the
days go by.
In many instances we have
been able to price the finished
garments at about the retail cost
of the materials in them.
What are told of here are
perhaps one in a score OF the
kinds that make up the great
assortment.
The stocks are very large, but
when exhausted orders cannot
be filled at the rates quoted in
this list.

THE attempt to make out that the Re-
publicans of this State were arranging
themselves into Sewell and anti-Sewell
factions has been speedily squelched
Nearly every prominent man in the party
who has been named as a leader on one
side or on the other in this purely myth
cal factional fight has declared that he
knows nothing whatever about 1t. The
whole thing was Democratic trap, and
the Republicans declined to walk into 1t.
The feeling in the Republican party is
that just yet, to say the least, the grip OF
the party upon this State is not strong
enough to allow an indulgence in fac
tional fights, and that there are a good
many things for the party to do, which
will require its united strength, before it
can begin to divide into rival camps.
Probably by the time it gets through with
the reforms which the people have elected
it to bring about, there will be no occasion
for any factional quarrels. But the party
need cross no bridges until it comes to
them-P Patterson Press.
