Proposal Accepted IN
short Order.

A prominent politician Of the Sum
flower state who, according to local
exchange, has been happily married for
over year sent the following unique
proposal to the object of his alteration:
my Dear Miss -: I hereby an
nounce myself as candidate for your
hand, and shall use all fair and hon
orable means to secure the nomination.
l know there are many candidates in
the field and hesitated long before en-
tering the race, but now I'm in it to
stay. My views on love and matrimony
have often been expressed In your hear
ing in an emphatic way. If you decide
to confer upon me the honor speak
of please fix a date for a caucus with
your mother. Ihave no objection to her
acting as temporary chairman, pro-
vidcd it is clearly understood that am
to he chairman Of the permanent or
ganization. Should the results of the
caucus prove satisfactory we can soon
hold the primaries and select the date
and place of convention. I never be-
Heved in long campaigns. 50 If you de-
eide to honor me will ask you to make
the convention date as early as possible.
Devotedly yours, -"
The following telegram answered:
"Caucus unnecessary; nomination
unanimous; come at once and fix the
date of ratification"

LIMESTONE WOOL.
and It's Accidental Dis
c0veFy.

The conversion of the Hintiest, rough
est limestone into soft, white wool is
one of the wonders of the century which
will shortly appear in a practical way
to the manufacturer, says the New York
Telegraph. Wonderful and almost i'm
possible as 1t may seem, this process is
being carried on successfully by a man
who expects his discovery to revolution
lie the wool and cloth manufacturing
Industries.
The discoyerer was making some tests
Of stone and was using heat and chem
icals to snalyze them. He happened
upon a limestone which, when sub
jected to the tests, acted Unexpectedly.
The usual course of stone under the con-
ditions he was submitting 1t to is to be-
come quicklime, but in this instance It
ran into lava. To all outward appear
ance the stone was common building
stone. It had been used in many build
ings, but it had chemical quality that
was very different.
The molten mass was very pliable,
like glass when IL Is in the same state.
Glass may be strung out like silk, and 1t
has been converted into dress goods.
The man conceived the idea of carrying
his experiment still further. This white
lava was subjected to chemical baths
and then to a drawing-out process. by
which it was converted into the finest
and most pliable white wool.

BOYHOOD OF DREYFUS

probably more interested in the prog
ress Of the Dreyfus trial than any other
Pittsburgh citizen. His interest arises
from the fact that he was a playmate
Of Dreyfus in the town Of Mulhouse.
Alsace, says the Philadelphia Times.
He, Of course, hopes for the acquittal
of his former comrade in boyish sports.
OF Dreyfus he says:
HE was very popular. His father
was a dry goods merchant, rich and
prominent in the town. Dreyfus and
l attended the same school. Then the
studies were all in French. After the
war between France and Germany both
French and German were taught for a
time, and then only German. l think
it was during the war, or shortly after,
that Dreyfus was sent away to college.
I did not see him any more until he
was a young man, and then not to talk
to him. He came home for time, and
I remember seeing him about the town
in his college cap and gown. That was
the last knew of him until began to
read about his trial.
"While we were in school as boys we
played such games as schoolboys usual
ly do, and it was only during play that
I saw anything of Dreyfus. While the
war was in progress we all wore the
red, white and blue and were enthusi-
astic for France. do not recall that
Dreyfus was more or less enthusiastic
than the rest of us in this matter, but
that he was thoroughly French is shown
by his having become French soldier
after Alsace became German territory

Another popular belief has been dis

been q terror to ocean voyagers. But
William E. Curtis, who has just made
a trip past it. writes: 'The voyage from
New York is delightful. People always
expect a little weather OF Cape Hat
teras. but the captain Of our ship says
that il popular delusion. He declares
that Hatteras has no more storms than
any other point on the earth's surface.
The land projects into the Atlantic and
makes hasty sailing along that coast In
bad weather, and there have been terri
BILE disasters from time to time; there
