A Slight GAP,

A genealogist, like a poet, must
be born, not made. The naive state
ments offered by persons whose one
desire is to show a lineage which will
secure them admittance to some ey-
Elusive organization drive the real
genealogist to rage or tears.
~ don't see why l can't join the
daughters of the Early Founders"
said an indignant young woman to a
friend. MY line is perfectly clear
except in one place. It's so absurd"
What is the troublesome placer"
asked the g~enealogist.
"Oh, it's the eighteenth century,"
said the young woman, with much
irritation. They just failed to keep
the records, Of course. Of all foolish
things! Why, 1 a remember back
to grandfather, you see, and mother
remembers two more generations,
and we're perfectly sure our ances-
tors came over from England in the
seventeenth century. The name is
spelled a little different, but, of
course, it's they, because they must
have come. And just because l
haven't been able to connect them
with Observation-Disclosures in
the eighteenth century, they won't
let me in. It's $3.50 paltry!"-

The OdOr of Metals.

Many persons are sensitive to the
characteristic odor of metals; others
deny that metals possess any odor,
and support their opinion with the
assertion that no substance can pos
sess an odor which does not give of
by yolatilization invisible floating
particles. Recently a series of ex-
periments has been made by c. Gruhn
which is regarded as proving the ex-
istence of odors emanating from all
metals. At ordinary temperatures
these odors are in many cases almost
imperceptible. But they become
stronger when the metal is heated.
Yet if the heating is continued a
long time the odor disappears.
Gruhn's conclusion is that every
metal produces continually q gaseous
matter, composed rot of the atoms
of the metal, but Of q product OF
their chemical transformation. He
has even succeeded in isolating and
corfning in a vase the odorous
enlanatiCn from a metal.

NOVA SCOTIA AT EXPOSITION.
Nova Scotia Day at jamestown, and
Valuable Mineral Display o fProvince.

Many Nova S%cotians, residing
throughout New England and the East
ern States, are joining their country
men in a gala reunion at the James
town Exposition this week. October
"a was officially set aside by the Ex-
position as Nova Scotia Day. Some
of the leading officials Of the province
are in attendance; the program in
cludes magnificent military and naval
reviews and much speech-making.
Nova Scotia has established a rec
ord for herself, being the only for
eign country to place an exhibit at
this Exposition, and it Is in appre-
citation of this fact that the EXPOSE
ton management proposes to make
every effort to have Nova Scotia Day
a grand success. The exhibit made
by the province is a most creditable
one. 1t consists of the precious and
economic minerals of the country,
with gold, in which the province is
so rich, predominating. Gold was dis
covered in Nova Scotia at least a half
century ago by the Micmac Indians,
and one of the principal properties
of the country retains the name of
the tribe to this day, but the discov-
cries were overlooked by experienced
capital until within recent years.
Even now rnany of the most valuable
properties remain practically unde-
veloped. With the view of advertis-
ing its vast mineral resources the
Nova Scotian Government has made
this exhibit, and all native Nova Sco-
tians, wherever they may now reside,
are urged to go down, see Virginia's
beautiful worlds fair and participate
in the Nova Scotia celebration.

A Horse Trade.

In the Washington County Court
K. B. WATSON, of Donora, charged
by G.. w. Greer, Of Monessen, with
misrepresenting a horse which he
sold to Greer, was ordered to pay
s118.98, the price paid for the horse,
with interest from the date of sale.
WATSON claimed that the animal
would drive either single or double,
but Greer claimed that WATSON was
the only person who could drive him,

down when any other driver took the

Eatpins of Feathers.

Quite the daintiest, prettiest things
imaginable are the feathered hat
pins that have arrived recently from
Paris. They are shown in endless
variety. Humming birds offer them
selves as particularly charming and
adaptable owing to the varied charac-
Ter of their plumage, and there are
also some dear little peacocks in the
realistic colorings, and a distin-
guished note is shown in black crows.
So fascinating are these feathery hat
pins that they almost amount to
trimmings.

but they can be finished either with
stitching or with cuffs, and they are
offered both in full and three-quar-

Training For Character.

AS a school of character it is doubt
full if any better could be devised than
the routine career of a medical stu
dent. 1t is not claimed that every
medical student at the end of his five
years curriculum will be found to
have become a saint. But If he has
not developed manly qualities of self
restraint, courage, gentleness and
forbearance it is not for want Of op-
portunity of practicing these virtues.
