Mr. Major. the famous cement nan q lsV
York explains some very interesting facts a5o1t
Majors Cement.
The multtudes who use this standard srtic-e
know that it Is many hundred per cent better
than other cements. for which similar claims
are made. but a great msnx DO not knox y h5-
The simple reason Is that III. Major uses the
best materials ever discoTered and other nan
ufacturers do not use them. because they are sco
expensive and no not allow large profits u.
Major tells that one of the elements OF tls7
cement costs S3.75 a pound. and another costz
80 q gallon. while a large share Of t1e So
caiiedcemeRts and liquid glue upun the r1arsz6-
are siLteea-cent glue, dissolved IN water OF cl-
nc acid, and, IN some cases. altered slightly 20
color and odor BY the addition Of chesp and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle. and when q dH1ler
tries 20 sell substitute you can depend upon
Et that ms only ohlect1s to max larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement Is much as
/ any dealer ought to make on any cement And
tins IS dOuhly true IN view Of the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit Of Mr. Mar
ors advertising, which now amounts to over
hshed in 1876.

Rubber being in growing demand,
scientific men have been trying to ,Ob-
tain II from plants which had not
been available commercially before.
Two French chemists, NM. Arnaud
and Vernuil, have discovered a proc
ess by which it may be obtained from
the LandOlfs vine, which grows wild
and luxuriantly In nearly all parts Of
Africa The process of tapping the
Landolia is impracticable as the flow
Of rubber hardens too quickly. By
the neE process the vine is crushed IN
het water, by which means al the
rubber it contains is extracted.

DUMMY BOOKS FOR LAWYERS.
Looking Volumes That Are Al
most Worthless.

As q blind phrase, legal filings"
ought to be opaque enough. Even the
Rochester publishing firm which adver-
tises the goods leads the advertisement
with the question, Looks ike a Joke,
doesn't ftp" But 1t is not a Joke, as
the subject matter goes on to explain,
says the Chicago Tribune.
Legal filings refers to secondhand
law books which have only formidable
show of sheePslIin and with blurred
titles The firm goes on the business
principle that a young lawyer opening
an Office has only few books, and that
he needs to put uP'a front"
''YOu have few books OF mean to
buy them" reads the advertisement
Books Of any kind would add dignity
to your Office and catch the eye of a
prospective client" Then it goes on to
say that odds and ends Of reports. stat
utes, digests, and text books accumu-
late on the shelves of the house and
must be disposed of. Further, that the
house Jumps these in lots Of 100 vol
umes, without duplicating, selling one
grade st SIS a bunch and the other at
s25. As indicating how much in de-
mand are these sets and how satisfac-
tOrily they work on the prospective
client the advertisement reads: 1--WE
have In ten years sold hundreds Of
such lots and have yet to hear Of a dis
satisfied customer

HEALTHFUL ON MOUNTAINS.
The AIR Of High Attitudes Contain
No Microbes and Il
Sterile.

It is well known that the chemical
composition Of the atmosphere differs
but little, if at all, wherever the sample
be taken; whether it be on the high
Alps OF at the surface Of the sea, the
relation Of oxygen to nitrogen and
other constituents is the same, says the
London Lancet. The favorable effects.
therefore, of a change Of air are not to
be explained by any difference in the
proportion Of its gaseous constituents
One important difference, however, is
the archaeological one The air q
high attitudes contains no microbes,
and is, in fact, sterile, while near the
ground and some 100 feet above it mi
crobes are abundant In the air Of
towns and crowded places not only
does the micrObic imPurity increase,
but other impurities, such as the prod
ucts Of combustion Of coal, accrue also.
Several Investigators have found traces
Of hydrogen and certain hydrocarbons
in the air, and especially in the air Of
pine, oak and birch forests. 1t Is to
these bodies, doubtless consisting Of
traces Of essential oils, to which the
curative effects Of certain health re-
sorts are ascribed. Thus the locality
Of a FIR forest is said to give relief in
diseases Of the respiratory tract. But
all the same, these traces Of essential
oils and aromatic products must be
counted, strictly speaking, as impuri-
ties, since they are not apparently nee
essary constituents Of the air As re-
cent analyses have shown, these bodies
tend to disappear in the air as a higher
altitude is reached, until they disap-
pear altogether. It would seem, there
fore, that microbes, Hydrocarbons and
entities other than oxygen and nitro
gen, and perhaps we should add argOu,
are only incidental to the neighbOrhood
Of human industry, animal life, damp
and vegetation

"Senorita' is the Spanish prefix to
the name Of an unmarried young -ady.
It corresponds to the French ''madem-
oiselle," to the American miss" The
use Of "senOrita' as the Christian
name is, extraordinary. Down In Ten
nessee there Is a lady upon whom her
parents bestowed the baptismaI desig-
nation Of 'senorita" when she was
child. It must be admitted that the
name looks well in print and sounds
well when spoken. "Senorita" Alexan-
der lives at Ella bethtOn, "in the coun-
ty Of Carter" as the official language
has It. And what lends additional in
terest to the fact is that "Senorita'

sTRUeGLIEG YOUNG AUTHOR.
he Ffnds maj ABout twenty to one
Is the PrevailinE Ratio Of Hu-
nor and yEisdon.

While have not Jet IN any great
measure succeeded in persUading pub
fishers Of the desirableuess Of my
productions said the struggling
young author, according to the New
York Sun, Il have, through my ex-
Periences with them, come to some
conclusions regarding the marketable
ity Of literary matter.
81 should say, for instance, that the
demand for humor exceeds that for
wisdom by about twenty to one, which
would make the value Of a vein Of
humOr in a man as compared with one
Of wisdom about as the value Of gold
is to that Of silver, with something
Over-the mint value I mean. Pee
pie desire not so much to be instruct
ed as to be amused
HIn fact, think that most men
have wisdom enough of their own and
to spare, Unborn or born of their ex-
periences There are, perhaps, few
men who do not consider that they
are capable of instructing the world
themselves; and so wisdom becomes
as one might say, a drug in the mar
ket. And yet here have L been trying
to make the market take wisdom
from mel Futile effort, unless have
been able to put out some particularly
hot and saw-tOothed brand, which 1
do not appear to have been able to do,
Which is to say that the wisdom 1
have been trying to force on an al
ready oFerstocked market may not
even have been up to the standard
quality Carrying Goals to Newcastle,
carrying wood to the fOrestsl
But now L have learned out OF my
experience sufficient OF real wisdom
so that I shall, at least, no longer try
to force people to buy something that
they don't want In other words, I
shall waste no more time in that d.
rection- I shall open up some other

LAND DROPS OUT OF SIGHT.
Two Hundred Acres in the Borough Of
Northampton Have Dis
appeared.

It hss Just been discovered that the
borough Of Northampton has zoe acres
less land than it has been supposed,
says London exchange In obtain
ing facts for the pending enlargement
Of the municipal borough the area Of
the town was carefully recaIculated and
1t was found that instead OF being ], $50
acres it was only 1911. This makes
Northampton one Of the smallest Dor
oughs in England. The inhabitants
numbering over $4,000, this gives the
densest population in the country, no
less than 3 persons to the acre. The
nearest known approaches are Liver
pool, 4s.7, and Bolton, 4s.4 per acre.
Included In the area Of the borough are
the public racecOurse Of 20 acres and
the old commons Of 50 acres, both Of
which are in the possession Of the cor
poratiOn, and neither can be built upon,
not even to the smallest extent. #
these be excluded. the density Of popu-
IatiOn stands at the extraordinarily
high figure Of est per acre. By The en-
laTgement Of the borough, which takes
place on November next, the area Of
Northampton VIII ne freblsd and the
population increased to about 100000.

there Is every prospect that the con

cotton crop was E7.0Ooso00, while the
oilseed crop. usually covering is, 000. =

The loss to euitiEators IN Bombay

MARRIED TO TWO MEN.
The Second Obtains an Annulmen
From Mr. Eoeler-

BALTIMORE. Aus. THE marriage
Of Henry N. Seller and Mrs. Barbara
Doeller. on March %. 1882, was annulled in
a decree signed yesterday by Judge Har-
Ian in the superior court The evidence
showed that at the time of the marriage
the womar's first husband, Ernest Doeller,
was living, as alleged by Seller in the petit
ton for the annuIImeut of the marriage.
Seller is a tailor by trade and thirty-six
years old In his testimony before the
commissioner he said he came to Baltimore
from New York early IN 1886 and secured
board with Mrs. DoeFier's mother on Spring
Street. Mrs. Doel1er had then been away
from her husband about two years He
consented to marry her when she told him
her 1rst husband was dead. Four years
after ne marriage she told Seller she had
met her first husband on the street. and
she afterWard pointed out her first husband
to Seller while they were in Mt Carmel
Cemetery.
Other witnesses also proved that Doe1ler
was alive at the time OF his Wifes second
marriage No witnesses were summoned
bv the defence. Seller and Mrs. DoeHer
had thee children
The case was brought In the superior
court under the provisions OF the act OF
1855 chapter 497 1t is said to d the first
case in which a marriage has been an
nulled under that act.

has been brought TO public attention, AMI
seeds are being sold by dealers. An ex-
pertinent with this should be made in the
mountains of Porto Rico, where its culti-
walton might be carried on in connection
with that OF coffee, if found profitable.
There are many other alluriag possib1ti-
ties which have been or might be suggest
ed but all are still in the experimental
stage. to say nothing of the fact that Porto
Rican conditions are entirely untried. In
order to meet in advance this last difficult
ty, and to make possible the early prov1-
sion Of seeds and propagating stock when
ever the utility of a species can be demon
strated, il is eminently desirable that
collection of rubber producing plants be
maintained in Porto Rico, and that 1t De
begun at the earliest possible date
The seeds of many tropical trees are
short-lived and will not Withstand drying
BY special packing or shipment in Wardian
cases. in which they can terminate Gu
route, it may be possible to send them long
distances. but such shipments, as we'll 81
those of young plants, are expensive nd
unsafe, and the vitality of the seedlings s
often injured when not entirely destroyed,
thus partially vitiating experiments and
rendering it impossible or extremely costly
to import large quantities OF desiralde
seeds in case a general demand should
arise for particular species.
Viewed from the standpoint CT the utIl-
ity of rubber for those who may undertake
intelligent mixed farming in the tropics, t
will be worth while for owners of pianta-
tions to begin experimental paintings of
the most promising rubber trees now
known and of others as fast as they are
announced by explorers and experimenters.
Without such local experiments the desira-
bility of more general planting cannot be
known with sufficient certainty to justify
large expenditure or the use of valuable
land, should the industry reach the point
where this would be advisable anywhere in
Porto Rico.
Whatever the ultimate conclusions from
these Investigations and discoveries, tha
great diversity OF opinion among students
of the subject seems to indicate that we
know extremely little about the constttu-
ton of Iatex or the best methods Of ex-
tracing rubber. and we may be still FAR
from the place where the invention of pro-
cesseS or appliances Of permanent utility
Is to be expected Proper manipulation
may enable the extraction of rubber from
juices not now utilized so that a new pro-
cess as we'll as a new plant might at any
time revGlutionfze the whole subject OF
rubber culture. But while such q rsvolu-
ton would not destroy. it might gradually
lessen. the value of producing trees, and By
taking off the margin of profits, completely
ruin the prospects and credit Of enterprises
based entirely on rubber
