1t is not wholly clear why so many
multi-milllonalres, most OF them cap
talns OF industry. should have such d
hippant regard for their marital condi
lions. 1t Is still less clear why tile
charmers who lure them from the path
Of domestic duty are usually either tbs
chorus girls or the show girls OF the
musical comedy stage. It is more sin
gular than either that most OF the
susceptible millionaires either belong
IN Pittsburg or have been graduated
from some OF its metallic industries
and Joined the "frenzied financiers" OF
Wall street. There are many other
strange features Of this peculiar sltua.
ton OF affairs relating to trust buDi-
ness and the stage. The trouble seems
to be epidemic, for, If Mr.. Corey Il
to be believed. he is not the only
"frlghtful example" There are many
others, and If he IS pressed to the
wall too hard he will peach" upon
scores of his fellows who are In the
same boat with him, have been to the
same banquets. and perhaps drank
from the same slippers, and are only
waiting the fitting time to make do
nestle transfers, as he has been ar.
ranging to do. Still another singular
feature Of these extraordinary opera
tons is the cool and nonchalant man
ner in which the magnates announce
that the differences between them and
their wives are not due to any breach
Of the moral code on their part, and
that II their wives are DESTROYS Of OBJ
tanning divorces they will not stand in
the way, but, on the other hand, will
kindly aid them in every possible way
to do so. The business view Of the
proceedings taken by these gentlemen
is also peculiar and quite novel. Per
haps 1t Is an outgrowth of the modern
business-lilxe way OF doing things
which admits Of no consideration OF
sentiment, much less of any confession
Of moral turpitude. Having decided
to secure the privilege Of marrying 9

first wife coming Off much the second
best, considering the fact that she be
gan with him when young and helped
him struggle up until he had acquired
millions enough to qualify him FOL
mating with a show girl. In a bust
ness operation of this kind, however
the rights OF the party OF the seconC
part ought to be more adequately pro
tected. If, as Mr. Corey says. there
are plenty of other millionaires in th'
same boat with himself, then som'
means should be devised so that whel

insurance against accidents of thi
kind might be devised, with the con
dltion that the milllonalres themselve
should not control the business as OIL

A fine example Of what a public me-
mortal should be Is the monument to
J. Sterling Morton, recently unveiled
at Arbor Lodge, Nebraska City. Neb.
The memorial consists OF a stone seat
round the outer edge OF curved plat
form, forming a background for a ped
estal that stands at about the center
Of the circle Of which the curve is a
part. The pedestal is surmounted by
a statue OF Morton. 1t makes such a
combination OF the useful and the
beautiful that 1t will appeal to future
generations as no mere statue could
appeal.

The PRESERVATION of Mood.

From Harpcr'S Weekly.
Since the earliest history efforts have
'een made to discover some method of
MISREPRESENTATION, the faculty Of wood to
Withstand atmospheric pressure being SO
mail in comparison with its mechanical
c~siStance. The tar coating resorted to in
he extreme north OF Europe, while sue
cssfully performing its office in those
cgtons, is, for obvious reason, unavailable
II warmer climates. All of the other
Methods which up to this time nave been
ricd nave been defective in that solutions
ave been made use Of which from their
Waporativc nature make their action upon
he wood effective only for a certain time.
A new method, recently patented In Ger
many, would seem to afford great in
'ustrial possibilities, as ii has none of the
disadvantages of the old methods. In this
new method a fixed body is utilized, which
becomes solid upon being inStilled into the
pores OF the wood. This substance is sui
phur, applied in liquid form, and which,
hardening completely, fills up all the in
t~arstices of the fbrous tissue. In all
medium temperatures the sulphur will re-
main impasslve, resisting not only the in
Nuencos of water, but also of acids, and
alkaline solutions if cold.
10 apply the new preventative, sulphur
Is fused, and when the liquid has reached
3 temperature of $40 degrees the boards or
other wood are immersed. When the pores
nave become fun, the temperature of the
oath is lowered to 40 degrees, and the sui
2hur becomes hard.
The degree to which the wood is impreg-
mated varies according to the nature of the
wood, the temperature, and the duration
Of the bath. The increase in the weight Is
from thirty to thirty-tive per cent. when
the process is conducted in an open re-
ceptacle. a complete filling of the pores
Of the wood would increase the weight by
two hundred per cent.
Should time prove his method as sue
cessful as it now appears, it's Importance
can scarcely be overestimated, as lumber,
with its own original mechanical resist
ance, is given the quality to resist the ele-

A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him back
to his pulpit: Some five years ago
| had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe. Which left me in a complete

some time with nervous pr%ostration.
Ny appetite failed, l lost flesh until
l was Il mere skeleton, life was a bur-
den to me, | lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save my
precious wife.
Then CT the recommendation Of
solne friends l began to use Grape-Nuts
food. At that time I was a miserable
skeleton, without appetite and hardly
able to walk across the ROOM; had ugly
dreams at night, no disposition to en-
terrain or be entertained and began to
shun society.
II finally gave up the regular minis.
try; indeed l could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After l had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time I discovered that l was taking on
new life ana my appetite began to i'm
! prove; I began to sleep better and my
i weight increased steadily had lost
some fifty pounds. but under the ne1
