Thermometers.

As times of severe frost many per, sons not skilled iii the use of thermom. eters report remarkably low tempera- lures. These are often due to tho ther- mometric liquid having partly eyaporat- ed from the main column and condensed at the end of the tube farthest from the bulb, the thermometer then reading just as many degrees too low as there arg degrees of spirit tt tho top of tho tube. Good thermometers arc just as liable to this error as common ones, and there- fore every one using spirit minimum thermometer must be on the alert Gen. erally the owner can restore the ther. mometer without sending it back to the maker Grasp the thermometer firmly, resting a finger on the tube so that there be no vibration, and, holding the bulb downward, give several strong, pendu. lous swings. This will usually send the spirits from the top and send the index into the bulb Stand the thermometer bulb downward for an hour, then To. verse it and very gently shake the in. dex out of the bulb and let iB slide to the end of the column. when the ther. mometer vii! bs as good Us new.

The latest pamphlet published by the commission of historical manuscripts in London contains the following interest ing and curious trayesty on etiquette: :: "The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, having been summoned to appear befors the hoLSe of lords ill 1909 in order tG plead their suit for divorce. it was de. bated whether the lord chancellor, sit. ting as chairman, should lower his dig. nifty by lowing to the duchess and speak ing to her only with his cap in has hand. This question was argued for several days in the house of lords until debate exhausted itself and several duels result; cd. At length it was decided that the lord chancellor should first receive the bows of the dnke and duchess and re- turn them with uncovered head and aft cr that he should replace his cap" This rule was followed to the letter and is still adhered to today when similar con. tingencies arise.

COLD AND .SIL TER MONET.

Statistics of the gold and silver production recently published are full of suggestion to the student of the monetary problem. or late years the production of gold has in- creased very much more than the production of silver yet the value of gold has risen and that of silver has fallen unprecedentedly.
 According to the estimates of Prof. Soetbeer, the average yearly production of gold in the first dec- ade of this century was 572, ,000 ounces, while the worlds output in 1896 was II, 250, ,000 ounces, or nine teen and one.half times thcquantity produced annually from 1901 to 1910, On the other hand, the average an- nual output of silver from 1901 10 1910 was 2, 763, ,000 ounces, and in 1896 the production was 161 1000, GOO ounces, or five and one-half times the average output in the first dee. ade of the century. Except in the eighth decade, the increase in the production of gold has been quite steadily maintained. while the pro- duetion ef silver has varied. These changes have been due moro to con ditions peculiar to the great silver mining regions than to events which concerned the use of the metal as money, as is proved by comparison of the years of small production with those in which important monetary reforms adverse to silver were made.
 With so great difference in tho quantities of the metals produced, their values have been even more widely separated. Taking the French ratio of 159 ounces of silver to ounce of gold, which ruled for the first seventy years of the century. the mint value of the silver output in ls95-the year of greatest pro. duetion-was about s204, 800, 900, while the mint value of gold in 1896
 -the year of greatest gold produc tion-was about S220, ,O00. 000 The difference in value is more strongly impressed by the fact that in the same years the market value of sil- yer was scarcely $s5, ,000, GOO, while the value of gold was S220, GOO, 00O
 1t is notable fact in this connec- ton that the greatest increase in silver money has been made since lsI3, according to the last report of Director Preston of the United States mint. In his very exhaustive

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 Scrofulous Humors How Cure
 Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on bis face, hands and arnls. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. IL appeared in the form of red pimples which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. Alter disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted tn improve ment in his ease very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned. ' WILLIAM BARTz, 41G South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.

AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD.
Purchasers Found For Them Nowadays
 Throughout the World.


 American tools are sold all over the world The New York representative Of an American tool manufacturing estab. Iishment when asked where American tools were sent ran over the export or ders received that day They included orders from Hungary, Austria. Ger. many, France, England South Africa and South America. There were alto gether about 20 orders, and from some of the countries named there were two or three orders The export orders of the previous day included orders from Russia, Australia and New Zealand, and these were not unusual orders, but such as are constantly received. h the shipping room at that moment stood cases marked for Java, for Ecuador and for Australia.
 Many of these orders are small. In some cases there were orders for a single tool or for two or three; for some orders of half dozen or two or three dozen to supply orders or to keep lines filled. These small orders are mostly from Eu- ropean countries with which eomma- nieation Is nowadays quick and conYen- ient. European merchants order thess things just about as merchants i'll other cities ill this country would. It costs no more to send to London than it does to Chicago, and it is as easy to send to Berlin as it is to Paterson.
 The characteristics that commend these American tools to their foreign purchasers are the same that mark American machines and implements generally = lightness, fine finish and perfect adaptability to their several uses. The exports of American tools to all parts Of the world are steadily in' creasing New York Sun.
