Platinum.

A report issued by the Russian gov
eminent on the production of platinum
in that country shows that Russia stands
first in the world in the yield of that
metal, the amount reaching some 40
times the product obtained by all the
rest Of the world. Itappears that in the
year 1880 the quantity produced was
reckoned at nearly 5000 kilos In 1895
it reached more than 4, 400. the amount
increasing up to the last year, when it
diminished on account of the unfavor-
ably wet weather in summer. Curious.
ly enough, though this strange metal is
found in the southern Ural, the manner
Of its being worked up is unknown in
Russia. This is done in Germany, to
which country the platinum is exported
in crude state, and whatever Russia
requires of the worked up article it has
to buy back IF Germany. The price at
present named is 900 marks, or about
1926, for one kilo Of crude platinum in
Russia. Small quantities of the still
rarer metal, iridium, are found in min
ing for platinum.

Every Effort That Brings Sense Of Sat-
isfaction Is Beneficial.
In an article entitled "Grace and
Health" in The Woman's Home
Companion Florence Hull Winter
burn says:
"There is one law of health that
needs to be earnestly recommended
to our latter day disciples Of physical
culture who are making hard exer-
else hobby, and not only to them,
but to all tired people, worn out by
conscientious endeavors to make
their bodies keep up with their en-
ergetic minds. The rule is simply
this: Every effort that is followed
by more discomfort than gratifica-
ton is hurtful. An effort may be
disagreeable at the moment, but
pleasant in reaction, either physic-
ally, as when an enjoyable glow
comes after GOLD plunge, or mental
ly, in the exhilaration following the
overcoming of difficulties, which Is
one of the most agreeable sensations
that can be experienced. But any
exertion that taxes either body or
mind more than it pays back in sat.
isfaction takes away from the gen
eral vitality and consequently is de-
structive to health and life.
"This would seem at once to lay
under the ban much of our necessary
work which involves efforts that no
imagination can cover with rose
colored drapery. The monotony that
is part of all business occupations,
t kdrudgery essential to the care
OF household, even some of the
