SUSAN B. ANTHONY.
She Never Lacked a Ready Reply to
 Those Who Criticised Her.

Few lives so lend themselves to dram atic narration as Susan B. Anthony's. says the June Delineator It ranged from tragedy to comedy, with scattered bits of melodrama, she ever in the center of the stage With her everything was always realistic--not acting.
 Miss Anthony had peculiar faculty or condensing a whole speech into single sentence For instance, when she heard men lamenting that the profession of teacher was not respected as much as the other professions: Do you not see that so long as society says woman has not brains enough to be doctor, lawyer or minister, but has plenty to be a teacher, every man of you who condescends to teach tacitly admits before all Israel and the sun that he has no more brains than woman?" And when Horace Greeley said to her at Albany: You know the ballot and bullet go together; if you vote are you ready to fight?" Instantly she re- torted: "Yes, MT. Greeley, just as you fought in the late war-at the point of O goose auill!'' Again, when she was talk ing on divorce, and the Rev. A. D. Mayo, thinking to annihilate her, said: You are not married, you have no business to be discussing marriage" Well, MT. Mayo" she answered, you are not a slave; sup pose you quit lecturing on slavery"

Cement Armor For BattIeships.

From Harper's Weekly.
 Cement may take the place of steel plates as armor on French battleships in the near future, as exhaustive experi- ments have shown that certain cement of French invention, the formula Of which is kept secret, shows a remarkable resis- tence to shell fired from the heaviest naval guns. It is stated. however, that the weight of the cement armor on vessel would be much less than the steel plates now in use.
 The idea of using cement as armor IS not new but heretofore 1t has not been re- garded as practicable on account or the cracking of the cement when struck by a heavy shell. It is to be inferred that the French process renders the cement more elastic.
 During the Russo-Japanese war Ill March, 1904, the Russian warshlp Sepaseo- pol was accidently rammed by the Peres- viat, a leak seven meters long being made. This leak was repaired with cement Later the Sebastopol saw most active service, being hit once by a torpedo, and battered by many shells. After her last fight It was found that she had been mt py SIX torpedoes, but the cement used m re- pairing the leak first mentioned was found to be practically undamaged.
 The French naval architects deciare that their cement-protected battiesnlps ol the future will be invulnerable.

He Liked to Shave.

From the New York Globe.
 A New Yorker who has been travelling through the prohibition belt of the South brings back a story that goes well in the cafes along Broadway. According to the tale, an aged teetotaler called in 8 physician one day and the physician pre- scribed whiskey in regular doses. The patient refused to take the medicine, de- claring he'd rather die.
 All right" said the doctor. "Either take the medicine I prescribe or call in some other doctor'
 The patient finally agreed, and asked how to take it. Why, every morning when the maid brings hot water for you to shave take a little of the water, a bit of sugar and some whiskey and make a toddy of it. the doctor said.
 It was several days before the physician made his next call on the patient. He was met at the door by the old colored servant.
 Flows the master?' inquired the doc tor
 He's done gone crazy" was the start ling reply "Jes' actin awful
 whats he doing?" the physician asked in alarm.
 .'Why, old masters shaving more'n a dozen times a day. mammy replied.

JUDGE c. c. NESMlTH ENDORSED BY THE BAR
 OF JEFFERSON COUNTY
For Reelection As Judge of the City
 Court of Birmingham.

Birmingham, Ala, March 2. 19OS To the People of Jefferson County
 The legislature, during it's session in February, 1907, created two additional iudgeships in the city court. Judge c. C. Nesmith was elected by the legislature to fill one of these additional judgeships. The term of office of Judge c. c. Nesmith, under the act creating additional judge ships, was to continue until the next gen. eral election, which will take place in November, 1908. The voters of Jefferson county will in a short time be called upon to decide whether he shall be given an elective term by the voters, or another lawyer selected to fill this position. The court over which he presides will be Tn continuous daily session until after the democratic primaries are held to select the nominee for this position. The absorb ing and responsible duties discharged by Judge Nesmith will deprive him of any opportunity of appealing to the voters of the county, for indorsement by an cleo tive term for the work which he has performed during the short term for which he was elected by the legislature The undersigned members of the bar of Jefferson county desire to bear testi- mony to the conscientious, faithful, in- telligent and impartial manner in which Judge Nesmith has discharged the im- portant duties of the office which he has been selected to fill. He has just given up the active practice of his profession to assume the duties of judicial office; he has performed the duties of his judicial position in such a manner as to give sat isfaction to the lawyers of Jefferson county, representing all classes of lit gants.
 We hereby pledge ourselves to support Judge Nesmith for reelection and re- quest for him the assistance and support of our friends.

Comment On Mining Law.

In discussing the proposed change
 in the Mexican mining law, which
 would prevent foreigners making de- nouncements of property in Mexico
 without first securing the consent of 1 the department of fomento, the Chi hauhua Enterprise says:
 "There has been little discussion of that section of the proposed new mining law which would prohibit the location or acquisition of mining property in the border states with out getting special permit from the department of fomento in Mexico City. Inquiry of local foreign mining men elicits the fact that un- less the department provides some method to facilitate the granting of such permits better than now pre- vailing in the twenty-league zone on the border it will be practically prohibitory, for it takes from four to six months to get them now. The foreign miners argue that the grant ing of such permits will have to be general, and not for each separate location, or the prospector from oth- CT countries will be hampered in his efforts to such an extent that he will quit discouraged. There is one way, however, and in our opinion it will be the best way in case this sec tion becomes a law, and that Is to organize a small Mexican corpora tion of less than 1000 pesos capi- talization and locate claims in the name of the company which is a Mexican citizen, so to speak,. Such company would cost very little, and corporation is by far the best way to do business in Mexico, any, way"

soft state." A large part of this soft ness is ascribed on the instability of the crystalline structure. When metal is drawn into wire it's tenacity is enormously increased: that of iron four times; that of pure gold more than three times; and that of silver and copper still more. But investiga. tion shows that metals which have been thus treated show micro-structure in which deformed and broken-down crystals are imbedded in non. crystal line mass. In the process of hardening a metal it's crystalline structure is broken down, and it passes into the non-crystalline form.-San Diego Union.
