R0| The consular reports made to
the state department have disclosed
one interesting fact recently. That is
that the most expensive manufactured
product in the world is the charcoal
flament used in incandescent electric
lamps. These threads, which are
made by secret process in Paris
are So valuable that pound of those
intended for lamps of 80 candle-poweI
is worth $4,000. Even the inventor
and maker of the filaments keeps his
name secret, in order that the valua

KING STREET PAyING.-tt is more
than probable that the next extensive
street work in the city will be the re-
paving of King street with material
other than cobble stone snd the max
ing of modern and model street Of
that thoroughfare. Several efforts have
been made during the past few years
tohave King street repaved, but SO far
nothing beyond repairs have been &C.
cOmplished. Several months sirco q
resolution was introduced in Council
directing the City Engineer and the
committee on streets to ascertain and
report the aggregate cost of repaving
King street from Union TO Peyton and
what proportion of the cost would be
borne by the property owners along
the street, the electric railway and the
City Council. No report on the resolu
ton was ever made At the last meet
ing of Council Mr. B. B.. Smith, chair
man of the street committee, intro
duced resolution directing that the
square on King street between Fairfax
aud Royal be paved with asphalt or
vitlifed brick. His plan is 10 get the
property owners, the railway company
and the City Council each to pay their
share of the cost so that the burden
would fall lightly on all. Over seven
tenths Of the property owners on the
square have signed al agreement to
pay their share of the cost. Numbers
Of property owners -all along King
street have also signed such an agree
ment and it is believed that when one
square is paved it will be but the be-
ginning of the early paving of the en-
tire street. Mr.. Smiths plan is an ex-
cellent one aud it is believed that it
will be successful.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys. and aids these organs in
throwing OIL impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it..
