CHEMISTRY AND THE METALS.
The Composite Parts Of Each Kind
OF Ore Are Now Very Easily
Ascertafned.

The chemical Ia DOratOry Is the work
shop Of the modern magician, and in Il
are wrought wonders which not so
very long ago would have been regard
ed as miraculous In fact, though
chemistry IS very ancient and has been
called the mother Of sciences, 1t had
little more than an experimental stat

fury. Since then Its growth has revO-
lutionized human knowledge, says the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post
Take the subject Of metals, for in
stance. At the beginning Of this cen
fury the known methods fer separat-
ing metals from their ores were purely
experimental, not being founded up
on any exact knowledge. Now, on the
other hand, the composition Of each
kind Of ore can be readily ascertained,
and so Il may be calculated TO a Ger

hux and fuel should be mixed together
IN order 10 secure the best results
Next comes the problem Of utilizing
these metals for commercial purposes,
and in each case chemistry affords the
solution Of all difficulties.

All improvements in the manufacture
Of steel, for example, have their origin

ECONOMY IN CATTLE FEED.
A Kansas Record in Fattening on a Half
Ration Which Is Great Saving
in Corn

State Senator E. V. Peterson, who
usually fattens a thousand head Of cattle
for market each winter at his ranch near
Norton, has this season been expert
mentIng on carrying stock through with
less corn than is generally considered
necessary. He says Of the result:
ave are feeding what we call a half
ration Of corn with alfalfa hay and sOr-
ghum hay. The daily ration is IA pounds
ear corn, ID pounds alfalfa hay and ten
pounds sorghum. We feed half the corn
and alfalfa IN the morning and half in
tie evening and the sorghum at noon
We put 200 steers 10 our feed lots Nov
ember last and their average weight
was 1.O12 pounds. We weighed these
cattle on January 4 and their average
weight was 1.I61 pounds, an average
gain Of 149 pounds, or a daily average Of
two and half pounds.
ave buy our corn, and have paid from
50 to 60 cents a bushel. It is low selling
at 60 cents. We raised our alfalfa, which
is worth IS q ton IN the stack, and our
sorghum worth s. in the cock. The
cost for a days ration is:

I'VE have with these cattle zUO hogs
one hog to each steer. All the feed they
get is the drOppiDgs in the corral. We
estimate their daily gain one pound
each, worth about 81 cents. If we de
duct this from the average daily expense
of feeding the cattle 1t leaves a balance
Of I511Z cents, so the gain Of the cattle so
far has cost Us about six cents a pound.
We shall be very well satisfied if the cat
tie keep up this gain to the end of the
feed, almost three months longer. Al
falfa with corn makes a we'll balanced
ration and takes the place Of such high
priced feeds as linseed and cOttOnseed

Scared by & Lawyers Card.

A Newark lawyer was sitting in his office when Mrs. B., friend, entered, and proceeded to tell him of the diff culty a Mir. c. was In through a loan he had made to MT. D. MT. c. was in great need of the money, but Mir. D. refused to return the sum, which was quite Il large one.
 ''I think" said Mrs. B. to the lawyer, that if you should take hold of the case you could collect the money"
 All right" said the barrister, think ing of the neat little fee that would be his after he had succeeded in inducing MT. D. to part with the sum claimed by Mir. c. ''I'll give you one of my cards to hand to Mir. c. If he will step in and see me I'll handle the case for him."
 Shortly afterward the lawyer left the city for few days outing in the coun- try. On his return he inquired of Mrs. B. what had become of MT. c. and his claim against MT D.
 "Oh, that's all settled" replied the woman. MT. c. said he just went to Mir. D., showed him your card, and said he had retained you in the case. MT. D. paid the money at once"
 Now the lawyer is wondering where his prospective fee is coming in. He believes he has good case against MT. c. for about l per cent of the amount of MT. C.'s loan, but has not decided whether to press the case or not.-New- ark News.

A Pleasant Story of the Wife of the
 King of England.
 In the village of Dersingham, writes a Sandringham visitor, there is an old, old lady, living in the cottage at the corner, who is very proud of many things in her little home. They were given her from time to time by Queen Alexandra. On sunny mornings Gran ny" comes out in her white sunbOnnet and potters about among her flowers. Then is the best time to talk to her.
 'The Queen?" she says, with a pug zled look. Il don't know who you mean, sir" Suddenly she remembers, and a smile lights up the old eyes and plays with the wrinkled features. 'Is it the Princess you mean" she says.
 You tell her yes, and she says sud denly: "Ah, my dear, you don't know the Princess, do you?" and then, speak Ing softly and smiling to herself, she tells you the following characteristic tale:

on wallsI Smith Jones, of Warwick County, Indiana, entered upon such a term of detention a few weeks ago. He is at present 13 years old, and has been guilty of so cold-blooded a murder that the Judge who tried his case, conclud- ing that he would derive no benefit from the reform school, sent him directly to State prison, there to remain for the rest of his natural life. If the boy is an ordinary boy, betrayed into an act of murder by sudden impulse, the sentence passed upon him is certainly unjustifia- ble. A certain number of years in the reform school would probably send him back to the world a steady and respon- sible citizen. But it seems likely that the boy had shown tendencies that made his reformation impossible. He was probably what the sociologists call a degenerate" and what medical men call a "pervert" with physical and moral nature so hopelessly diseased that the only possible course of action was to separate him from his fellows and to put him in place where his de- prayed instincts, altogether ungovern- able under other conditions, might be confined and repressed. It is life lost, but the loss seems inevitable. The most careful investigation should be made however, and the boys case should not be abandoned until it is altogether hope less.

they are not yet perfectly suited to all times. China lives too much in the past. am sorry for it. Her literature and her government are relics of the past. They were all right when China was isolated, but in these days of progress are made quate for present needs.
 As to the strife which is almost con- stantly being waged between capital and labor in this country, it is said that cap ital is antagonistic to labor. Why is this so? One is essential to the other. There should be a better application of the value of both. Trusts and labor unions should unite. Why should not disputes between capital and labor be taken into the courts like civil suits for settlement?
 Referring to the immigration laws of the United States, this country needs restrictive immigration laws of general scope and not laws that single out one race.

The other day young man, son of a New Yorker, who left a million-doIlar estate, was in court, insisting that he could not pay a judgment of S556, or, in fact, any of his debts. He declared that he had been reared in idIeness. in an atmosphere of wealth. When his father died he left the son $6,OOO year, and no more. He also left him as help less as a baby, with a mind unstocked with a single thought that would sell for money in the business world. Mus Gle! This young fellow had it, but he couldn't compete with the poorest man in sewer trench. The $6,OO0 was noth- ing for a man who belonged to several clubs and associated with people who could buy him and sell him and never feel 1t. Viewed from a moral stand point, he Is a good deal of a coward The man who buys things knowing that he can Eot pay for them is a swindler. You can not call him any thing else. If he has anything more than water in his veins he will work He will dump the clubs and high-living associates and get down to business. He will learn, and find no disgrace in toll. But what of a man who allows his son to grow up in idleness? It is an imposition. It is not fair. It is in- viting disaster. How easily fortunes take flight in this country There is history for 1t. The millionaire of to- day may be the poor man tomorrow. The moving van backs up in front Of his stone palace and he goes to live in a tenement. There is nothing certain about riches-nOt even their paramount desirability. It is often easier to make money than to keep it. The youth who grows to manhood without any greater idea of the practical side of life than how to order a wine supper or guide an automobile may have to wear his tennis suit in lieu of underwear in chill December, and the world doesn't offer him much sympathy when trouble comes. Every man should teach his boys to do something. His bank ac- count isn't a part of the issue. The real independence is called trained abil- ity, and 1t Is capital that Is always available. Every man should have some of 1t, for when he does need 1t he needs it badly.

THE HANOVERIAN TREASURE
Its Narrow E cape from Capture by
 the BruSsians

Its Narrow E cape from Capture by
 the Prussians.
 The story of the Duke of Cumber- lands fortune has been just related by Herr von Hassell. The Dukes father. George V., had narrow escape of find ing himself both kingdOmless and pen niless. The state treasures of Hanover were only placed ill safety few hours before Prussia declared war on the ex- cellent blind king. The person who saved the financial part was Herr Klenck, Chief Secretary of the Ex- chequer. He had to remove 72O,OOO thalers in. silver, 5000 crowns in gold worth about 30 shillings each; f54, ,OOO in English bank notes, f360OO in Prus- sian thalers, f250,O00 in Hanover bank notes, and f19, 100000 worth of English, Dutch, French and other Government bonds. The gold crowns were packed in seventy-nine wine tubs, the bonds in ten chests, the Hanover bank notes in bales, and the thalers in crates lined with tin. This variety in the packing was to prevent notice being taken at the railway or the port of authorization, where Prussian agents were reported as on the lookout.
 These barrels and bales were taken by an ordinary goods train to an out lying station, and then rapidly shifted to special train that was to go at full speed to Grestemunde. It started at Il 80 D. m. on June 15 1866. But they had forgotten to order stationmasters to keep the line lighted, and the engine men had to creep along in momentary fear of an accident. The train was late for the steamer that was to take the treasure to England. The risk of taking 1t on board a Lloyd's steamer, the Bremen, had to be run on the night of June r. Klenck grew gray in the two days of suspense. Prussian men-of-war were hanging about near the mouth of the Elbe. The Bremen entered South ampton on June 19, and did not sight a single Prussian vessel on the way London Truth.

dOin' my bit O ironin'-there came a knock at the door. I didn't take notice thought it were Jim, my son-in-law and he just knocks and walks in. So went on with my ironin. Presently there came another knock. So I calls. Walk in,' but, because the iron was nice and hot, l didn't stop. And there, my dear, it was the Princess and her daughter, and I'd kept them outside knocking, and 1t was bitter morning. 1 was so Hurried that I didn't know what to do. 1 stood with the heater in my hand, and all I could do was to make my curtsy. But her highness didn't seem to mind it bit. She says, 'Good-mornin', Granny. We just walk ed in to see how you were this cold mornin'.' 1 had got over my furry by this time, and dusted two chairs for them to sit on, and put my iron on the fire. But the Princess wouldn't have me stir. She turned to her daughter and said, You take Granny's iron while she sits down and talks to me- So the young princess took the iron and irOned while l sat down and talked with her mother"
 Granny arose and went to a drawer She took out handkerchief with gay colOred border, and brought it across. "She ironed that, my dear, just as you see 1t. I put 1t away and never used it since. Well, the Princess, her moxher. and me talked. She told me as how she liked the country better than London, where she couldn't walk about OY go out very much. Then she asked me about Jim. and Sarah, and the baby. I told her the child was troubled with his teeth, and she said that she remem- bered quite we'll when her own babies were bad with their teeth and the trou- ble she had with them. She stayed and talked for nearly an hour. I was afraid to ask her to have anything, but she remembered my ginger wine, and ask ed if she and her daughter might have glass, because it was warming in winter rtime."-London NJ. A. F.

The decision of the Michigan Supreme Court that bicyclists have a right to ride their wheels on the sidewalks un- der proper restrictions is likely to cause a great deal of trouble in Michigan cities and in those of any other State which adopts the principle of the decis- ion. If bicycle riding were permitted on the crowded streets in the business sections of a city 1t would amount to an intolerable evil. Their total exclu- sion from sidewalks of this character is based upon the principle that the side walks, as their name implies, were set apart for pedestrians. and that vehicles of any kind which would interfere with the free and safe use of such sidewalks have no right to be or to be operated there, except as such right or privilege may be granted by the City Council. City Councils have, we believe, been usually disposed to extend this priSi- Iege to sidewalks through sparsely set tied districts where there were no bicy- cle paths and either no pavement or a very bad one. All the just claims of the bicyclist to the use of the sidewalk when the conditions exclude him from the street can be far better met, with a due regard for the convenience and safety of the pedestrian public, by start ing with tie principle that he has no original right there and must get his privilege from the Council, than by as- suming that he has an oroginal right to go there and that the Council can only restrict the manner of its exercise. We do not believe the Michigan decision will be followed by the courts of other States, or that wheelmen generally will regard 1t with favor. AS a rule they have no use for sidewalks where they are liable to come into collision with pedestrians unless driven to them by the bad condition of the street.
