street, referee to take testimony and
report to the court in a suit brought by
Mrs. Fannie Taller Smith against sgd
ney J. Smith. While there was nothing
to indicate the nature of the action, and
while the utmost secrecy was main
tanned by all interested parties, it Is
known that the suit grows out Of mat
rimonial difficulties.
Mr.. and Mrs Smith were married
December Il, 1897, at Grace Church by
the Rev. Percy Grant. The marriage

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
THEORY IS PROVEN
Butter and Egg Markets Last
Year Is Good Illus
tratiOn.

Adam Smiths theory Of supply and
demand seems 70 be pretty we'll borne
out IN the conditions which have under
lain the cheese, butter, and egg markets
during the past two years. Local
dealers are now comparing the volume
OF business transacted during the past
year with that OF 1907 and have dis
covered q situation which more than
backs up the views OF the famous
economist on the subject OF trade con-
ditions.
A comparison of prices in the cheese
butter. and egg markets during 1907, say
local dealers, without an exception,
shows that they were practically
the same IN 1908. although the amount
OF business transacted last year re-
corded a heavy falling OFF. This being
the case. considerable surprise has been
manifested that the market did not
weaken In prices in order that heav-
Ter volume Of business might have re-
suited
Wholesalers explain the situation by
setting forth the fact that there was
a scarcity Of eggs, butter, and cheese
last year, and, Notwithstanding 1t was
a panic year. II would have been i'm
possible to have handled the products
at prices cheaper than those quoted.
Thus, the prices were the result OF sup
ply, and hard times did not influence
the market. IN 1907 there was a greater
supply OF these commodities. and there
was also more money in the country
and a greater demand, which kept the
quotations firm throughout that year.
So far, dealers say, the market supply
is similar to that OF last year. Demand
is strong and il is believed, from all
indications, that there viii be little
difference between the avera Re OF
quotations in 1903 and 1909.

Foolscap Paper.

r. c. Means.-From an old record It
appears that Charles I Of England
granted numerous monopolies for OBJ
tainment Of money for his purposes. in
dependently OF the parliamentary
grants, among others the manufacture
OF paper. The water-mark OF the best
paper Of the time was the royal arms
or England. The consumption of this
article was great, and large fortunes
were made by those who had pur-
chased the exclusive right to vend IT,
This, among other monopolies, was set
aside by the parliament that brought
Charles TO the scaffOld and b. way Of
showing contempt for the King they or
dered the royal arms to be removed
from the paper and a f5,l with his cap
and bells substituted. Ii is now more
than go years since the FOOLS cap was
taken from the paper, but still the

1Breeehloading Cannon.

The breechloading cannon were
among the earliest used. We find
them on English and other ships as
early as the last quarter of the four
teenth century, and therefore much
before the time of the buccaneers.
The cannon was a mere tube, bound
with heavy iron rings, and was load
ed by the insertion of the "gonne
chamber" an iron pan containing
the charge. which fitted into and
closed the breech. These guns were
very clumsy affairs in comparison
with tho modern breechloader, but
the principle was the same.
Glas. Polishing.
Glass grinding is effected by the
use of emery powder of various de-
grees of f~neness. But it has been
shown that this grinding cannot be
carried beyond a certain point,
however fine a powder may be used
In fact, a continuation of it undoes
the work and breaks the surface uI
again. The most finely ground
plate, if largely magnifed, is shown
to be covered with tiny bits which
no grinding will remove. The work
is therefore continued with rouge
carried on a pad of rosin, which
gradually smooths down the eleva'
tons between the pits. Hydro
fuoric acid gas corrodes glass very
rapidly, but a weak solution OF il
melts away the roughened surface
and leaves a fine polish underneath
This method is used where yer,
fine adjustments of the surface arr
requires-as, for instance, in lenses
for telescopes and microscopes.

The Color Of Flames.

Many people have noticed with
much interest the many tinted bars
and bands that rise in the shape of
"forked tongues of flame" from
wood burning in a fire. These va
ried hues are the result of combus-
ton from the different elements Of
the fuel. The light blue is from
the hydrogen and the white from
the carbon. The violet is from the
manganese, the red from the mag
nesia and the yellow from the soda,
which are constituent parts Of the
wood.

THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
A Memory Of P;ekstt's Brigade and .
Niaht Attack.

Some years after the civil war a
gathering Of veterans of both sides
vas exchanging "reminiscences at a
banquet given by the board of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lippincott's.
The presiding officer was Colonel
J. J. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of its startling horrors, but
because of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
hlsobedience of o~rders--the obey
ing, as it were, of a higher com
mand than that of earth.
"The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips. "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
sience, that always settles over
everything before a fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice n motion.
"Suddenly the awesome silence
sas broken by the sound of a deep,
Full voice rolling over the black
void like the pillows of a great sea,
directly in line with our guns. 1t
was singing the old hymn, Jesus,
Lover of My Soul
Il have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified its impressive
ness, but never had it seemed so
solemn as when it broke the still
ness in which We waited for the Or
der to fire. Just as it was given
there rang through the night the
words:
Cover my ~defenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
"'Ready. Aim! Fire to the
left. bovs' l said.
"The guns were shifted, the vol
lev that blazed out swerved aside,
and that defenseless head was Gov
cred with the shadow of his wing"
a Federal veteran who had been
listening looked up suddenly and
said:
81 remember that night, colonel,
and that midnight attack which
carried off so many Of my comrades.
/ was the singer"
There was a second Of silence.
Then "Jesus, Lover of My Soul"
rang across that banquet board as
on that black night in 1864 it had
rung across the lines at Bermuda
Hundred.
