!. Artincial stone.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out Of
their occupation by the use Of artificial
stone. In the manufacture Of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount Of u per cent Of the
mixture. The steel molds IRE filed
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder, which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water Is then
turned in under pressure sufficient to
force It all through the sand in the
molds. The cement Stacks. but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to, occur, and the stone is formed
and dried under an immense pressure.
The result 10 a very hard stone, which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.

e
Stones do not form part OF the rec

Of these birds in the National Zoolog-
ical park in Washington had a craving
which could be satisfied only by eat-
ing two pounds Of stones. The keep
er's attention was attracted to tho bird
because after having once sat down
1t couldn't get up. He was picked up,
and then the stones were heard rafting
inside Of him. An official connected
with the park decided that something
must be done. and he promptly cut the
cormorant open and relieved him Of his
burden. One Of the stones, Of irregular
shape, was 311a inches long. The In
cision was sewed up, and for five days
the bird got along all right, the wound
healing finely, but at the end Of that
time the cormorant grew FESTIVE and
pulled out the stitches with his hooked
bill. AS a consequence Of opening up
the wound he died.

TALK OF MARRIAGE.

e Il Proper For the Man, but Net
For the Girl, Apparently.
A man may remark on his intention
to marry at some indefinite future time,
when prudence or other considerations
may make 1t possible or advisable,
without having, as rule, to run the
gantlet of q chorus of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should girl be bold enough, or, rather,
natural and simple enough, to say the
same thing what would be the RESULT
Why, every one knows that she would
be promptly snecred out Of counte-
nance.
And why? Is 1t immodest for a wom-
an to express q determination to enter
into state which we are being contin-
ually reminded is natural and honor
able state, while 1t is modest and prop
er for man to do so? Such distinc-
ton would never be drawn except for
the "cheapness' to which reference has
been made.
If man wants to marry, he can mar
ry. If the first woman he asks refuses
him, he has only to ask second or per-
haps third or fourth. It would be
safe to guarantee that within month
any man Of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment. could marry in
his own class, could marry probably a
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
to marry ''some day?" Is she not in a
very different position from the man?
Here is girl of good cllaracter-much
better than the mans, probably-aver
age intelligence. average good looks.
Theoretically she is free to marry
whom SHE will, but is she? If she re-
ceiyes one distinct offer of marriage,
she has had more than her share, ac-
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law n
woman must not take, and, indeed, does
not want to take, the Initiative has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions impose
upon English womcn.-Nineteenth Cen

A DESIRABLE CHANGE.

The movement In support OF the Post
Check Currency system. which was be-
fore Congress at the last session, Is
likely TO be pressed upon the national
legislators during the present session.
II Is a practical and economic measure
and has attracted very widespread at
tenuon. 1t would simplify the method
OF sending small sums Of money by
mall, and be In the interest OF the
masses Of the people
The Post Office department. however,
or more properly speaking, the Money
order Bureau. Is likely to oppose the
bill. not openly perhaps, but with quiet
influence so as TO hinder and u possl-
BILE prevent It's passage. The change
would be fatal to the system managed
by that bureau. so It Is natural that
the movement would not be regarded
with favor from that quarter
1t Is generally supposed that the
money order business OF the postal SER
vice is profitable to the government.
This ia great mistake. The official
auditor showed In his report for 1899,
that the aggregate expenses Of the sys-
TEN exceeded the total revenues by
$4,000 per annum. This was disputed.
A more rigid inquiry was instituted
The item Of salaries for money order
clerks was estimated al sS24SSO. But
from a recent official report TO the
House Committee on Post-ofiice and
Pest roads it was shown that,
I'm addition to these clerks exclusive
~ employed on money-order worK there
are 9SS assistant postmasters In second
class post-oiTices, with salaries aggre-
eating s977.700, and 1882 clerks In charge
Of sub-statlons, with salaries amount
Ing to $2T0.O00, a total OF 2,OIO employ
es with aggregate salaries OF Sl,HL1Oo,
0ne-third Of whose entire time, perhaps,
was devoted to the money-order SER
vice. In addition to the above, there
We're more than 1000 clerks. with sal
aries aggregatng at least 100000 per-
forming dual service In post offices,
practically dividing their time between
the money-order and the registry dlyis-
ions, Accepting these carefully pre-
pared figures from a perfectly authentic
source, which cannot be controyerted by
another division In the same bureau,
our item for salaries Of money-order
clerks should have been Slbi9.300, In
stead OF 1924, $50. Allowing FOR a reason-
able increase during three years. Il Is
G, Ident that the ascertainable loss on
Inoncy-order business should have been
fixed at over 100000 In 1899, Instead Of
$4,000. as stated 1t Is greater rather
than less at this time, and many other
known but uncalculated expenses
should still be added"
Seeing that the money order system
Is loss to the government, and the
Pcst-Check currency is likely TO be self
supporting and would greatly facilitate
the sending of money by mail It Is to
be hoped that the public benefit will he
conStered by a sufficient number of the
peoplSs representatives in Congress to
inaugurate the change, even though Il
may not meet with favor by large
number Of United States postal en-
ployes.

a COMING WINTER.

It appears that the question whether
we are receding from, or approaching,
another glacial period. Is now discussed
In the world Of science. The SUPPOSE
ton Is that, In the same way as there
are seasons Of the year, heat and cold
following one another In regular per-
lods, so there are astronomical seasons
Of summer and winter. But whether
we now are approaching such a winter
or receding from II, is the question.
Noted scientists win inquire into that
subject and ind out, If possible, what
the facts are. In the meantime many
learned men hold that long astronomi-
cal winter Is approaching for the north
ern hemisphere--a glacial period, such
rs thousands Of years ago covered the
northern part Of the continents with
ice, just as Greenland still Is covered
up. There Is no reason though for i'm
mediate alarm on that account. II can
not be less than 1900 years since the
last astronomical winter. and II will
take thousands of years before we will
be In the middle OF another such sea-
son. There Is plenty Of time to study
the situation and take such precautions
as may be found practical to save hui
man life from destruction. even If the
tate of New York and Chicago should
re TO be ground TO powder under ami
hilatlng icebergs.
