NAPOLEON well knew the love in the human heart for titles and insignia of rank. On his accession to the throne he at once esta blished the Legion of Honor and re- stored titles of nobility that had been swept away by the revolution. His soldiers would brave death in it's most dreadful form in the hope of getting a bit Of ribbon or a title. If Napoleon had not restored the orders of nobility then Count Castellane would not have won Anna Gould and her millions. Napoleon has robbed America as we'll as the countries of the old world. This love for titles seems to be more prevalent in America than in the effete monarchies of the East.

THE valuable ore beds of the Mesaba range in Minnesota are covered with pine forests. The original purchasers of the land bought it for it's timber. Now that the ore deposits have been discovered they draw an immense royalty on all the ore taken out. These royalties amount to S5,600,000 a year. This tremendous sum is tax on the output and gives the Birmingham dis trict just that much advantage. The iron men of the Mesaba range are complaining of this burden and are demanding of the Legislature that it levy tax on these roy alties. The benefciaries of the royalties enjoy an "unearned increnent," as Henry George would say.

AMERICAN STEEL.

The London Coal and Iron Trades Re- view, from which we have already quoted, not only admits that we can make cheaper iron than Great Britain, but also admits that America is making cheaper steel. It says:
 Certain other branches of the iron and steel industries have been successfully attacked by our American rivals under conditions and with an amount of success that may well cause us good deal of disquietude. We have the most ample evidence of the fact that the cost of steel billets at the works in Pittsburg is cheaper than at works in Glasgow or Shelf field. In other words, the cost of making bil- lets in the United States has been brought down to about Is shillings and pence per ton, and in some cases perhaps trihe less, whereas we are not aware Of any works in Great Britain where the cost has been brought under 20 shillings per ton. although, of course, 1t is possible that it may have been done for something under that figure. That this should have happened in a country where the rate of wages paid is understood to be % to 3oper cent more than Our own is one of those curious economic problems that are ex- ceedingly difficult of solution. But the effect of the fact is that the American wire manufac- turers are making havoc with our English wire trade in Central and South America, and are doing considerable business in Canada.
 These concessions of the leading English iron and steel organ mean more than ap- pears on the surface. They are not made willingly, but are forced from it by stub born facts. The British characteristic of bulldog tenacity avails no longer in the face of the inevitable. For many years Great Britain has ruled the world in the iron and steel trades, and it is hard for her to yield her supremacy.
 The admission of the British journal that steel is made in Pittsburg cheaper than in Great Britain should inspire our home men to renewed exertions in starting a steel plant, for steel can be made cheaper in Birmingham than in Pittsburg.

In a recent article on Coffee and Co.
Goa, the eminent German Chemist,
Professor Stutzer, speaking Of the
Dutch process Of preparing Cocoa by
the addition of potash, and of the pro-
cess common in Germany in which
ammonia is added, says:"The only re-
suit of these processes is to make the
liquid appear turbid to the eye of the
consumer, without effecting real
solution Of the Cocoa substances.
This artificial manipulation for the
purpose of so-called solubility is, there
fore, more or less inspired by decep-
ton, and always takes place at the
cost of purity, pleasant taste, useful
action and aromatic flavor. The
treatment of Cocoa by such che mical
means is entirely Objectionable. .
Cocoa treated with potash or am
monia would be entirely unstable but
fer the supplementary addition of ar
tificial favors by which poor substi-
tute for the aroma driven out into the
air is offered to the consumer. The
delicious Breakfast Cocoa made by
WALTER BAKER & Co., Of Dorchester,
Mass. is absolutely pure and soluble.

but nature could not hide his identity

pecially after bestowing on him such
an enormous beard. Brown is six feet
and one inch in height. but even his
great stature does not hinder his chin

even agreater curiosity than his beard,

had found the something missing in
her life, that she had learned what
the birds sung about and the wind
whispered to blossom and leaf, what
the waves said when they broke on
the shore. She had learned the great
secret of life, which was love; but she
did not know it-ah, thank God for
that.
She would not have looked so happy,
so bright, so innocent, if she had
known what had happened to herself.
She did not know; that was my chief
cause for gratitude. The knowledge
might come to her, but it had not
done so yet, and | vowed to myself
that if | could would guard her from
it. She had entered fairyland, but
she was all unconscious that she had
passed the golden gate. She had lis
tened TO the songs of Paradise, but
she did not know they had sounded in
her ears. She had drunk of the chal-
ice which is all foam, but she had not
recognized Its favor. She saw sud-
denly, and as she had never seen it
before, all the beauty and brightness
of the world, but she did not know
what had opened her eyes. | prayed

She was so innOcently happy, the
expression on her face was one of glad
content; even Lord Latimer noticed it

her might have seen the danger she
was in; so young, so fair, with such a
passionate, loving heart, and left en-
tirely to her own rcsourccs-for Lord
Latimer spent very little time with
his guests. He had grown older and
more feeble lately, and as life slipped
away and he lost his grasp of its
pleasures, he grew morose and more
stern. He liked Lionel Fleming, and
he spent great deal of time in talk
ing to him; but he never went out
with the sportsmen, he never joined
the luncheon parties. He dined every
evening with his guests, but he never
appeared in the drawing room after
dinner. She was left, then, to her.

has progressed so far as to induce repeated

cough with copious expectoration (includ-

and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported TO us as cured by Golden Med

dread and fatal disease! You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced 10 confess that
il surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod

"said at once, Let us find them And
we have found you"
There was one moment Of delicious
silence, when it seemed to me that the
very moonlight throbbed and thrilled
on the air.
1--WE need not hurry in" said
Colonel North. Several of them are
coming. A stroll by the river on this
moonlight night will be much better
than sitting in drawing-roOm by the
light of lamps"
Then came half an hour that was
like time stolen from Paradise. 1t
seemed quite natural that Captain
Fleming should walk by my side, even
more natural that Colonel North
should walk with Lady Latimer.
Others joined us, but no one broke up
these little groups; no one came to
me, no one Joined Lady Latimer.

Fleming was looking at them.
What a beautiful pair they would
make" he said, suddenly. Colonel
North is my ideal of a soldier, and
Lady Latimer is one Of the fairest Of
women"
Indeed, the dark, soldierly face and
figure showed to great advantage by
the side of the fair and radiant woman.

she stood by the window listening,
with dreamy smile on her fair face,
and these were the words that he
sung:

A blue sky and a boat
"But roses fade as roses blow
And ummer skies can lower and frown;

words, then, lightly touching yellow
rose that she wore ON her breast, she
said:
