THERE'S MONEY IN LITHIA.
One Channel Into Which American
Ingenuity Has Not Yet
Been Directed

Probably it is not generally known to
manufacturing chemists in the United
States that this country has vast re-
sources in lithium mineral which have
never been exploited, says writer in
the Engineering and Mining Journal
Lithium is classed as one of the rare ele-
ments, and is indeed rare in it's metal
lie form, but its compounds ara not
rare in occurrence or commerce. We do
not know what their usefulness might
be If their supply were large and cheap,
but at present the use of lithium salts.
especially the carbonate, is chiefly in
the preparation of lithia water, which
is used extensively for medicinal pur-
poses in such diseases as rheumatism,
due largely to an excess of uric acid in
the system. There are some natural
ithia waters, but good deal of what is
sold as such is artificial. The consump-
ton of Hthium carbonate for this pur-
pose in the United States is variously es-
timated' at from 1000 to 200, 900 pounds
per annum, all of which. is obtained
from Germany, The average value of
the salt at New York in 1898 was 1922
per pound. Consequently it is evident
that there is good business in sight
for some one who will undertake its
manufacture in this country, although
it should not be expected that the price
would keep up if the supply were in
creased largely.

"IN COMMISSION"
what the Words Mean Applied to
Merchant and War Vessels
and Yachts.

In these days of preparation for the
international yacht races one hears fire.
quently of water craft 'going into
commission" and it seems natural that
the landsman should ask: What does
the phrase mean?
The term, says the New York Trib-
une, has been misapplied, according to
the statement of shipping firm, when
used in connection with merchantmen.
A vessel built for trade is ''in business"
or laid up" and the term Gin COM
mission" is not applied to her except
by such people as they who go up
stairs" and downstairs on a ship.
AS to yachts, the same authority said:
when the owner raises his private
signal and has commander and crew
aboard, the yacht is in commission, and
this does not happen until the vessel is
in condition to go on a cruise"
War vessels are in commission when
the commanding officers flag or pen
nant has been hoisted at the main, and
this again indicates that the vessel is
in active service.

A WORD IN SEASON.
II was Spoken by Dr.. James Nc
Gosh to Lord Duherin in Their
Younger Days.

Rev. DR.. James McCosh, lately the
president of Princeton college, was g
man who dared always to speak a word
in season" or out of season; for the
result, he would trust the good chances
OF life. Before Dr. McCosh came 10
this country Lord Dufferin. frequently
invited him to his mansion, Clande-
boy, near Dublin, where he was max
ing improvements upon his estate ane
entertaining much company; but this
was not enough to satisfy the doctor.
One day as the two were riding il
the park, they loosened rein and went
slowly, and the clergyman mustered
what he afterward called either "the
courage or the impertinence" to say
to his host:
my lord, I fear you are not fulfilling
the end of your ife.' - +
Lord Dufferin turned to him some
what imperiously and asked. what
do you mean?'
II mean that you have talents and
accomplishments. You have great in
fuence both in your descent and your
property, and something good and
great is expected of YOU"
But what" said his lordship, 'do
you expect me to .do?"
II expect you to. devote yourself to
craftsmanship = was the reply.
do you Think said Dufferin,
thoughtfully and earnestly, that I
have the talent for this, work?" IS
DR.. McCosh assured him that he did
think SO, and the conversation con-
tinued as they rode slowly homeward.
No <one can now say whether this
talk had any influence on Lord Duffer-
ms conduct, but it was not long be-
fore he was deep in political matters,
wheret he succeeded in quelling a dis
turbance, or as he afterward said, 'spac-
flying Syria as the sand of the desert
is pacitied, till the next breeze
But his public career did not end
there, for since then he has been gov
ernor general Of Canada, yiceroy Of In
dia and ambassador to France. 1t may
be that DR.. McGosh's little word was
the influence that led him to begin
his long and brilliant public service. y

r. 1t Guy de Maupassant had lived only
to come to New York on the same boat
with Count Dessewyn what a romance
>of love and devotion he could have
written! But he is dead now, and the
story that Count A.. Dessewyn told fell
only on the ears of the ships prosaic
passengers. Though married, he comes
to visit his love of long ago, and with
his wife's entire consent.
The count is a MISUNDERSTANDING
nobleman from Hungary. Well dressed,
atfable, of courtly bearing and cult
waited manners he looks the thorough
man of the world that he is. But a
romantic mission has brought him here,
mission so full of sadness and devo-
ton that it made him the most talked
of passenger aboard ship.
To those he. got to know more init
mately he told his life story. Each year
he comes to this country to see the
love who still holds his heart, though
he has wife and children at home who
know all. But his loves life is devoted
to religion now, and his to the wife and
children.
1T was in my YOUTH" exclaimed the
count, sadly. II was chamois hunting
in the mountains, and after the days
sport went to the hunt ball. There I
met my fate-the woman who should
be my bride. She was the beautiful
Maria Teresa Kisfauldy. We compared
notes. found that she was the daugh-
ter. of one of my old professors at the
university.
"That night felt had met the only
woman who could enter wholly into my
life. She was so beautiful, so sympa-
thetic, so spirituelle, so altogether
heavenly. I fingered long in the noun
tains. We fell in love and one beau
tiful morning offered myself to her.
For a moment she did not reply.
Then she said: L love you more dearly
than life itself, but cannot marry you,
my sweetheart. l have already resolved
to devote my life to religion and to hu-
manity's sufferings.' Oh, the sadness
of it! I pleaded with her, offered her
everything I had in the world, but she
would not yield. One last kiss and I
left her, weeping softly. I felt that I
must leave those beautiful mountains
as far behind me as [ could.
II lived on in hope, though, praying
that she might repent of her resolve,
but l knew hope was useless, when
one day received word from her that
she had taken vows of perpetual cell
bacy in anunnery: She did not become
nun; she simply, wished to devote her
self to good works wherever she found
opportunity. .> :. u. ~. -: J..
F SO I married an estimable woman,
who bore heirs to my titles and states
and proved herself an admirable mis-
tress of my home. But the charm, the
spirituelle character, the soul of nv
sweetheart of long ago are not hers.
My wife knows all. With her consent
l. come here once every year to visit the
woman who is now devoting herself to
religion in America, who, as a little
Magyar girl, loved in the mountains
of Hungary. She lives in one of your
cities, where am not at liberty to
tell"
Count Dessewyn told his story SO
simply, so convincingly, that everybody
on the ship pitied his lot. There are
lines of care in his face and streaks of
silver in his hair far beyond his years.
He declined to tell where he was going,
