husband so as to be able to have an easy life of it.
 Mrs Knox was II years old when she married her husband, who was 1s, and she is firm believer that early marriages are the happiest. She tells the story Of her marriage in the most naive manner.
 Neither of us had anything" said Mrs. Knox yesterday. MI. Knox and l had known each other since we were babies. He worked for my father, Henry Schaffer. who was butcher on Fifth street. above Jefferson No one seemed to notice how fond we became of each other.
 | Finally we became engaged, but Kept It to ourselves, as we did not know but what there might be some objection, be- cause We had no money to get married on. After waiting about three months we went to the residence of John Street. a Methodist minister, on Fifth street. below Columbia avenue. and were married. Then we went home and told my parents that we were husband anw wife. They gave us their blessing and wished us much joy. For time we lived in three little rooms, but those was the happiest days of my life. I worked to do every thing l could to assist my husband anu we have always managed to get along nicely ever since.
 The young girl who loves a young man ana heSitateS about marrying nm because he is poor is very foolish if she is going to give up her happiness in the hope of finding someone she does not care as much for. but who can give her few more comforts at the start. The young girls of today do not live enough for love. They usually marry only to have a comfortable home. They take every dol lar out of a mans pocket for dress and jewelry only to make show of them- selves. The girl who marries poor. but who is willing to do everything that she can to assist her husband in the battle of life. will be a great deal happier when she reaches old age than the young girl who expects everything and in the usual run of things meets with a great many disappointments after she is mar ried.
 >"The young women do not encourage their husbands enough. They want hired girls to wait on them, when they should be able to cook and do housework. It is no wonder that there are so many di- vorces and unhappy marriages today when the young woman wants so much and is willing to give so little."

DIAMOND TEETH FOR SAWS.
They are Expensive, but are Needed
 in Some Classes of work.

They are Expensive, but are Needed in Some Classes of work.
 New York Times.
 Probably the most expensive saws in use anywhere in the world are those in the factories of Pennsylvania where various articles are manufactured of slate. In one of those factories there are 300 hori- zontal saws, twelve feet in length, each of which is furnished with seventy-five cutting diamonds, each saw being worth 5000 There are also in the factory jig saws. a circular saw planers and other slate-working machinery in which there are valuable diamonds
 The slate land which furnishes the ma terial for these costly saws to work upon was once so little valued that the tract upon which the famous Chapman quarry in Pennsylvania is situated was once sold for pint of whiskey. Its subsequent owners have taken millions of dollars | from the land.
 The most valuable slate deposits in the | world are found in the central and east ern parts of Pennsylvania. In the neigh | borhood of the Pennsylvania quarries there are houses whose walls are entirely of slate. The blocks of which they are made are smoothely sawed and are cer- tainly most substantial.
 | Slate Is put to a variety of uses nowa- days. out of 1t being made floors. stair ways, sidewalks, bath tubs, managers, posts. mantel pieces. blackboards, door and window stills and many other things. | When slate is blasted in the quarries the rough slabs are taken to the shanties of the "splitters." The stone forms nat urally in layers and the splitter" follow | ing the grain or ribbon with his large chisel, separates the blocks into strips. Then these strips are passed through a | trimming machine, where by the blows of a heavy knife they are cut into rec tangular shingles" Afterwards they are piled up into squares" ready to be used 1 for roofing purposes.
 | When slate is cut up for use in other ways the procedure differs. The huge hor- izontal saw. with it's scores of diamonds, in the factory is calleu into play; 1t Is lowered upon one of the blocks of slate by ratchet at the rate of quarter of an inch minute. The saw woul1 cut through iron or steel at the same rate. The workmen play a stream of water upon the slate to keep it cool and wash the dust from the cut. After the saving the block is planed by being moved back and forth by machinery un- der firmly fixed chisel. It Is afterward polished much as marble and granite are by means of a rapidly revolving disk called a rubbing bed, which is kept cov- cred with a fine sprinkling of fine sand saturated with water. Then the slate is bored by means of diamond pointed drills. | The value of the slate quarries runs into l..e millions.

NEW BOAT IS BEATEN
oUTDoNE BY THE
 CONSTITUTION.
Herreshoff's Latest Model Finishes But Loses on Time Allowance. Shamrock III. Wins
 With Ease.

New Haven, oCnn., July 17.-The latest aspirant fo- cup-defending honors. the Reliance. was defeated today by the Con- stitution in the initial run of the New York Yacht Club cruise from Glencove to this port. The boat led almost from the start and was in her usual position at the finish. but the Belmont boat after being at one time more than mile astern, came up with a rush at the close and was only !9 seconds behind her rival at the line. As the Reliance allows the Constitution two minutes 17 seconds in thirty -seven miles, the length of the run, the latter won by one minute and IS seconds. The time all iewance. while unofficial. Is believed to be within three seconds of the correct time. The three boats went over the line on the starboard tack with ballooners set.
 During the first ten minutes the Reli- ance and Constitution pulled by the Co., lumbia rapidly but fifteen minutes after the wind fell almost fiat. In the drift the Reliance again showed her splendid DOW CTS ifF light flaming airs and at 12:15 was half a mile ahead of the Constitution and quarter of a mile ahead of the Colum- bia. During the next hour there was a fine tussel between the Reliance and the Columbia and at one time the latter suc- ceeding in getting ahead about a quarter of a mile while the Constitution dropped back until she was more than a mile as-
 
 finish the Reliance WIS leading the Con- stitution by nearly three-quarters of a mile and apparently had the race safe. provided the wind held. The breeze proved fickle. however, and when it dropped it left the Reliance first so that the Consti- tuition was able to draw up but not to catch up Then the breeze sprung up again and once more the Reliance pulled away only to be left Q few minutes after with almost Tapping sails.
 As the breeze strengthened astern the Constitution gained rapidly on the Reli- ance Two miles from the finish she was only a quarter of a mile astern and a mile away from the line she had cut down the Reliance's lead to two or three hun dred yards. The new boat broke out her spinnaker quickly in the hope of pulling away but the Constitution followed suit and was almost blanketing the Reliance as they neared the finish. It was seen that the Constitution was within her time allowance and while the Reliance man. aged to cross in the lead the Constitution was one second less than minute astern, both boats flying across the line under a great press of sail.
 The official times were as follows:
