Miscellaneous MARRIAGES.

No one knows what type will be the
best for survival in an unknown future
environment. we often see. the ex-
tinction of families OF parents whom
any physician would have pronounced
ideal, but their children lacked resist
ance to the invasion of pathogenic or
ganisms or there was some other de-
feet which made them easy targets Tor
climatic causes of physical decay.
On the other hand, We quite often
find that parents below par physically
have fine families. The curious unions
which take pace must be the result OF
law such as we find in every bloc sic
phenomenon. Man has the same in
stinct f0Ind in lower animals to selac;
a mate who is more or less difereut
from himself
Should like types mate, their CON-
mon characteristics may be so exag-
gerated as to be harmful and the line
perish. 1t is an instinct of those of
great intelligence to marry those CT
less than the average, for the offspring
revert to the better average. 1t is
very evident that if We try to impro1 e
the race intellectually by the marriage
Of like types we will violate the natural
law upon which our existence is based.

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
a Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuta.

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
dicial turn of mind from experience on
the bench out in the Sunfower State,
writes carefully considered opinion
as to the value OF Grape-Nuts as food.
He says:
For the past five years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
1.-THE crisp food with the delicious.
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
ut has proved to be most healthfui
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table. for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
..Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive or
disease it is beyond value. / have been
particularly impressed by the beneficial
effects Of Grape-Nuts when used BY
ladies who are troubled with face
bIemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
As to its nutritive qualities. my ex-
peience is that one small dish of Grape
Nuts Is superior TO pound OF meat
for breakfast, which ia an important
consideration for any one. 1t satisfies
the appetite and strengthens the pow
er Of resisting fatigue. while its use in

Buttons for Ornaments.

Buttons in every conceivable shape
and style are used for ornaments tbs
season, small and large; glass, bone
and all kinds of metal; the simple, TN
adorned. old-fashion motaer-of-
pearl kind and the latest designs,
made with an amethyst centre sur
rounded by circle OF rhinestones that
look more like brooches than buttons
There are gun metal buttons, heavy
looking, and this effect is heightened
by the use of three screws inserted H.
the outer edge. Those made in red
and bronze metals look like Orienta
pins and are most attractive. But
tons, like the rest CT trimming used
this year, are made to match the man
shades of cloth in use. Many kinds
are fashioned Of two cOlors to match
striped and checked materials or to
harmonic with the cloth and the
braid or silk used for trimming. A
particularly pretty pattern in such de-
sign was made OF brown cloth suit
trimmed with white braid. With
white gowns having a red flower de-
sign in the background round imita.
ton coral buttons about as large as a
25-cent piece finished with a rim o.

for an afternoon dress.

Orinin of pou DAYS.

According to the generally accepted
doctrine, the dog days begin on July
8 and end on August IL, but there
have been disputes as to every pos
sible point about them. 1t was uni
versally agreed that they were con-
nected with the Dog Star, but which
one? The real Dog Star, Sirius-or
Procyon, the Little Dog? Then there
were disagreements as to the parti-
cular astronomical performance OF
the star that fixed the dog days; as to
their number, which varied in differ
ent estimates between 80 and 81; and
whether they were to- be reckoned be-
fore, after or around the stars per-
formances. The 40 settled on pre-
cede the rising Of Sirius with the sun.
A belief grew up that in these days
dogs went mad, but terrestrial dogs
have really nothing to do with it.
The original belief was that the star
and sun together brought intense
heat and all sorts of plaques. London

A Remarkable Case.

At a recent meeting of the Academy
of Science, Paris, M. Berger submitted
photographs of man afflicted with
Osteomalacia, or rehabilitation of the
skeleton. His height had lowered
from one metre and fifty-seven cent?
mtres to ninety-five centimetres. and
all his voluntary movements had be-
come impossible except those of the
head. Treated at first with chloro-
form, on the understanding that his
malady was of microbian origin, and
then with phosphorus, the deminer-
alisation went on, and was only ar
rested spontaneously after the aban.
donment Of all modification. This
skeleton appears now to have recall
cited to some extent, and the patient
can move his limbs. His general state
is good. His is a rare case of spon-
taneous amelioration.

Fashion Notes.

Sheer gauze undershirts for small
tots have a trimming of narrow val
enciennes lace around neck and arm
noles.
Blue and brown wells are worn with
clue and brown hats; for light or
white hats, white wells with black dots
look best.
The newest fad in colored stockings
is to have the stockings match the
dress (unless the dress is white) while
the shoes are black.
Almost every small child wears
socks. those of tan and white to
match the shoes, or white to wear with
black shoes, being the most popular
There's a new chiffon automobile
veil out which comes in all the pale
eolors and in white. 1t is embroidered
with big and little dots in the same
shade as the veil itself-and is gath
cred on to ring.
Every child, who can, is wearing ALL
white; and the inexpensive canvas
shoes-strong and braced to keep them
in shape-have made it possible to
carry out this white in the matter of
shoes as well, even If you're not bless
ed with robust purse.
To keep the present craze for tan
shoes something new in stockings
comes out every little while. The new

FRUITFUL FURNACES.
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES PRECIOUS
STONES.

Scientists Have snrcstded ia PluclIng
Real diamonds and Rubies From tho
Crucibio of tho Furnace.
Recent advices from France state
that Professor Moissan. the eminent
scientist aud inventor. has actually
succeeded in making genuine dia-
monds and rubles He employs for
this purpose the electric furnace
which has been so improved that a
degree of heat can produced APP
preaching the extreme tempera lures
which were undoubtedly a factor in
the formation of minerals and gems in
the Interior of the earth.
The rubies obtained are Of large
size. weighing ten or fifteen carats.
and in quality and color equal and
even surpass those found in the earth.
The natural forces attending the for
nation of diamonds seem to have
been more complicated and so far the
diamonds resulting from the efforts OF
the scientists have been very small,
trt still they are positively identified
as the carbon crystalline diamond.
They are remarkably clear and bright,
and on small scale as fine specimens
as natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with whole series of new
compounds. Probably the one of most
value to maEGind at large is Calcium
Carbide. The simple application of
water to Calcium Carbide generates
the gas Acetylene, which is now being
commonly used for lighting.
The peculiar merits of Acetylene
light are its brilliance and high candle
power. ease OF installation, economy
and its adaptablity for lighting build
ings of every description, regardless
of their location.

The Oriuin of Radium.

In England the study of the origin
of redium has been continued by the
Hon R. ]. Strut, and he confirms the
opinion previously advanced that the
amount of radium In a mineral is pro-
portional to the uranium which it con.
tains. Thus. by examining the mum.
Der of radioactive minerals where the
presence of uranium has never before
been detected, he has found that the
amount of radium contained Is pro.
portional to the uranium oxide. AS
yet but one exception to this general
statement has been encountered, the
pyromorphite found at Issy fEyeque,
but the radioactivity of this mineral
is explained by infiltration. Mr.
Struts theory. in short, is that
