The Test of Hardness.

a good many people appear to think
that resistance to blow is a test of
hardness in minerals, whereas it is re-
sistance to erosion. Ignorance of this
fact led man not long ago to expert
ment on what appeared to be Il large
and unusually clear garnet of rather
light red color. lie took a hammer to
it and smashed it to atoms. A diamond
is the hardest substance in the world,
yet it may be broken by tap from a
hammer or even a fall on the sidewalk,
as it is apt to split along any OF the
cleavage lines, which are parallel to
its faces Experts test an undeter-
mined gem first with a file and after
with fragment of stone of differing
hardness. If it yields to the file, it is
a glass or something no more durable
than that.

The Apnches Arc Sun WorshiDers.

The Apaches, like many other North
American tribes, are sun worshipers.
Their myths tell them that the sun is
the all powerful deity, and to it all
supplications are addressed. On going
into battle, planting corn or on start
ing on Il cattle stealing expedition, the
sun is asked to look with favor. That
they believe in Il future world is prov
ed by their custom Of killing horses
and burying them, as we'll as their
clothing and implements of the chase
for life in the future world. Not only
the medicine men but the people claim
to hold communion with the Chindi, or
spirits of their ancestors. They are
also great believers in OmenS, tails
mans and amUlets, but are very con-
Ecrvative, and it is with difficulty that
Sne gets them to discuss things super
natural. They will not talk about God

CIRCUS GLORIES
The. Finest and Largest Street Parade
Ever Organized Presented by
Gentry Brothers Circus.


Gentry Brothers circus day will
begin with the splendid street
pageant leaving the show grounds
at 10 O'Clock. This feature of the
great show is known as surprising
ly big and Respondent. The pro-
cession is always spick and span in
every detail and the people and
animals are smart and contented
looking. a large number of ami
NAL cages and dens are open and a
huge double herd of elephants gay
ly caparisoned, numbering patient
ly through the crowded streets is
a. sight of a life time. The wild
and domestic animal collection
with this show, the most expen-
sive in the world, requires almost
IS cages and dens and lairs to
house it.
deliberately carved floats follow,
upon which are depicted in magni-
ficent a.legory typical phases of
national life and character. These
living pictures are artistic creations
munifcently presented and ideal
ize in charming form and color
their worldwide subjects. Lilli-
putian vehicles, with fairyland
heroes and heroines and spuadrons
of conceited ponies beribboned and
curled, delight the public. There
are over 500 horses and ponies
with this great show and all of
them appear i'll the street process
sion. More than 800 of these ami
mails are of the finest breeding
and education and valued beyond
price as performers. This num-
Der are more than twice as many
owned by any other show. 1t re-
presents fortune in itself but is
only in keeping with the other big
and excellent departments of Gen
try Brothers extraordinary growth.
Modlshly gowned equestriennes,
gallant riders OF the Plains and
warrior fame, soldiers bold from
every cline, and myriad other
features ofattractive parsonage are
woven into this magnificent street
spectacle. Acrobatic clowns"and
musical merry antics keeps the
fun rolling. The Gentry Brothers
have always had a progressive,
modern and incomparably big
show, but this year they have gone
to amazing eXtravagent lengths in
every department, not onlyssur-
passing their best previous achieve
ments but undoubtedly have reach
ed the limit of human possibility.
1t takes forty railroad cars and
three special trains to transport
them from place to place. Two
exhibitions will be given here

Oakland, Md.

Dear Sir: Why, do you think,
can Devoe sell pure paint as low
as Others sell adulterated paint?
There are so or 40 or so differ
ent makers of paint, that ranks, in
a way, as "ffrst class" they have
their regions; ones region is large,
another's is small; everyone is
"frst class in its region.
OF these 80 or 40 or 50, one is
best, another is next, and so on
down; but the prices are the same
or about the same-you can buy
one for less than another though;
a personal matter sometimes.
But how, do you think, can De-
voc sell the best for no more than
the rest? The answer is: it costs
less to sell it; more to make, less
to sell. It's I5oSyears help sell it.
Go By the name.
Yours truly,

The keystone State.

Pennsylvania is called the Key
stone State. Two explanations have
been given of this name. Accord
ing to the first, the Declaration of
Independence was trembling in the
balance, six colonies having voted
for and six against it. The vote of
Pennsylvania was cast in favor Of
the Declaration, and thus major
ity was secured. According to the
other explanation, the name was
purely an accident. When the Rock
creek bridge was constructed, near
Washington, the stones of the great
arch were inscribed with the names
of the states, and when it was finish
ed the discovery was made that the
name of Pennsylvania was on the
keystone of the arch and thus was
applied afterward to the state.
