and a soft kind with coarse grain
particularly useful in the leather way
cloth, felt and wood industries: q,
a hard and a soft kind with medium

and sculptors and particularly useful
for polishing wood before it is painted.
90 a soft, fine grained stone for the
white and dry polish of wood and for
tin goods; a. one of medium hardness
with fine grain, for giving the wood n
surface for an oil polish: (5) a hard.
t%ine-grained one for working metals
and stones, especially Photographic
stones; and finally punice stones with
a very fine grain.
These artificial stones are used in
pretty much the same way as those
Of volcanic origin. For giving a smooth
surface to wood. a dry stone Is ap-
piled, but to give it a fine polish the
stone is dipped in oil. For the fine work
no coarse-grained and for coarse WORK
no ine-grained stones are used. The
unreliability Of pumice. both in grain
and hardness, variations being noted
even in the same piece, suggested the
idea OF replacing 1t with the artificial
product.

A recent English writer declares that
he was once greatly surprised by the
widow OF a French officer who said she
always Travelled first class because she
was rich, and later II turned out that
she had an income Of just $500 a year.
II set him to thinking, and the result
Of his study was the discovery that
this lady never spent annually more
than $50. and therefore was rich. Go
ing further into the matter. he found
that the French middle classes, outside
Of Paris at least and largely ever there,
do not worship appearances as do the
corresponding classes in England. They
make few sacrifices to outward show
and have small notion Of and less care
for what English and Americans know
as Mrs. Grundy. Frenchmen, as a
rule, he says, spend a third less than.
Englishmen on dress. Yet nowhere in
the world is the individual held In
higher esteem, nowhere do personal
dignity and character and family hon
or command higher respect, nowhere
Is the so-called realistic novelist's
standard of men and women farther
from the true standard that all OBJ
serve than in the French provinces.
Ninety or more in every hundred live
within their incomes, because all alike
are esteemed for what they are not at
all by outward appearances. II this
Is true Of the French as compared
with the English how much greater is
the contrast as compared with Amer-
cans. In the last analysis how far It
goes to explain the much-criticised ten
dency among us to graft and all the
countless corrupt practices in official
and business life 80 Justly deplored. Is
our universal worship Of appearances,
our eager striving to wear a veneer
If we cannot afford the solid wood"
OF so-called responsibility, is all this
one or the fruits Of democratic institu-
uons-a vain attempt to carry the DO
ntlcal theory that "one man is as good
as another into all other departments
OF life? Or is it only a passing phase
or development, out Of which we will
grow! The question is one of infinite
moment to us, and the circumstance
that a thousand years or more of
French development have borne nm
other n better fruit, as it seems. is
a very grave fact in the study.

found in its mode of capturing the insect prey on which il

forcibly from Its mouth against the insects which settle on

rarely fails to hit It's prey and to bring down the quarry into
