FRIENDSHIP.

There is no folly equal to that

frequently tears it.

this world as beautiful as good
strong friendship between two men
They do not kiss each other every
time they meet, in fact they never
do kiss each other, unless one is ly
Ing cold in death. They may never
have made any profession of love O,
friendship for the other, but each one
KNOWS that the other is always go
ing to stand by him and they fee
that no matter what happens, eact
can rely on the other.
People who have warm friends, are
healthier and happier than those
who have none. A single real frient
is treasure; worth more than golt

many things, good and evil, but al
the wealth of the world could no

PLAsTIcIrY oE CLAWS.

An explanation OF what appears to
be satisfactory method by which
workers in clay can accurately ascer-
tain the Elasticity of any given clay
has just been published by the Geo
logical Survey in bulletin (No. 1881
prepared by H. E. Ashley.
Heretofore an accurate Judgment
as to the qualities of particular
clay could be formed only after long
and costly experiments. Clays, ap.
parently similar in nearly all re.
$spects were found in actual manu-.
featuring to give results very differ
ent from those expected; and of late
years it has become increasingly i'm
portant to devise some test by which
their qualities could be quickly and
easily determined in advance of ex.
pensive installations.
Mr.. Ashley, acting for the Geolog-
ical Survey. under an appropriation b
Congress for the investigation of the
structural materials of the United
States, has discovered that the de-
gree to which certain dyes, of which
malachite green seems to be the
most satisfactory, are absorbed by a
given clay furnishes a very satisfac.
tory index of its Elasticity, which, OF
course, is the most important of all
its qualities.
Absorption is the property by
which dyes and other substances are
extracted from solution and incorpor.
ated into the thing dyed. 1t differs
from absorption, which is incorpora

spectiye of what it holds in solution
Absorption is especially characters

as colloids, which form the bulk Of
clays, and on which their plasticit,
is believed to depend. The amour

amount of clay will absorb from /;

loids that the clay contains.
Tests by Mr.. Ashley of most of the
well-known commercial clays with :
standard malachite green solution
have shown that their absorption o
the coloring of the dye correspond
very closely indeed with their actua
known plasticities. AS tests witt
malachite green give expected re
suits where the Elasticity is alread
known, it is inferred that they viii
prove equally accurate in determir

yet been ascertained.

WILLING TO END THE COMPANY.

ID
A Chicago man who once permitted
himself to be persuaded to back a
theatrical company was seated in his
OFFICE one day when he received a
telegram from the manager of the
show. The troupe was somewhere in
Missouri and the telegram read thus:
Train wrecked this morning and
all scenery. and baggage destroyed
No member of company injured. What
shall do?"
The answer sent back by the Chi
cago man was as follows:

The white people have brought whis

How smooth must the language of

But the white people appear to
never be satisfied. When they get

the suggestion of some bad, ambit-

that this man. or some other equally
ambitious. would make better faith

With us it is the custom to visit
the graves of our friends and keep
them in repair for many years. The
mother will go alone to weep over
the grave of her child. The brave,
with pleasure, visits the grave of his
father, after he has been successful
in war, and repaints the post that
marks where he lies. There is no
place like that where the bones of
our forefathers lie to go to when in
grief. Here PROSTATE by the tombs
of our fathers will the Great Spirit
take pity on us.
But how different is our situation
now from what 1t was in those hap
py days. Then were we as happy as
the buffalo on the plains, but now,
We are as miserable as the hungry
wolf on the prairie. But l am di-
