M aeAlS Polishing.

Marble polishing is simple and
quickly done. The cakes are carried
from the saving room and placed on
a dat revolving iron table. The iron
brushes Off the rough particles on the
surface. and the operation takes about
five minutes. Then the slab is at
tackled by man with an emery wheel.
Three grades Of emery are used, and
it's only about a minute to each grade.
Next come three doses Of felt, each
time the felt growing finer in grade.
The felt is attached In a layer to a
fiat wheel, spun by electricity, and as
1t huns you can see the marble be-
gin to sparkle. The finishing touches
are put on with the use Of fine felt
rub, oxalic acid and oxide Of zinc.
The operator simply smears the sur
face with the mixture, gives a couple
of minutes vigorous turn of the wheel,
and the slab then goes to the packer

The castor bean is a native Of India
The United States produces most OF
the coarser kind Of oil, while all the
finest comes from Italy. Common cas-
tor oil is Of an ugly greenish tinge and
has to be allowed to stand in the sun
to bleach. but the Italian article is
beautifully clear when frst cold
drawn. Cold drawn oil is the best. II
is got by crushing the fresh seeds be-
tween steel rollers. The castor oil
plant can be grown In England, but
there it is an annual. In southern
Italy 1t becomes a tree twenty feet
high and strong enough for a child to
climb up into 1t.

THE UNDoNE THINGS.

-1'isn't the things you do, dear,
It's the things you've left undone
Which gives you bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of the brothers way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone,
That you had no time nor thought for
With troubles enough Of your own.
The little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind,
These chances to be angels,
Which every mortal finds
They come in night and Silence,
Each chill, reproachful wrath
When hope is faint and tagging
And night has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow all too great
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun,
Margaret Sangster.

PARSONS
PRESIDING TODAY
NEW BASIS OF AccREDlTiNG
IOWA COLLEGE WORRIES
PROFESSORS.

Fairfield, Dec. 1.-(Special.)W or-
rying over the new basis of accredit-
ing Iowa colleges, which the state ed
ucational board Of examiners has an
nounced will go into effect next July,
the presidents Of seven Iowa COL
leges, appointed as committee during
the recent teachers convention In Des
Moines will meet the state board
this afternoon in the state house
to confer with its members regarding
the new classifica cation. President w. u.
Parsons Of this city is chairman Of the
committee. The new rating Affects
every educational institution in Iowa,
besides the state schools and Grinnell,
which had complied with the condi-
lions before they were imposed.
The new basis will require college
of the second class to attain q higher
standard than first class schools in the
past have reached. Parsons college OF
this city is now in the first class and
already meets most of the require
ments for the advanced first class. but
will fall short in one or two. Many
prominent colleges OF the state are
almost hopelessly below the new stand
ard.
In addition to President Parsons,
the committee consists of Presidents
Cooper of Upper Iowa university,
Preus Of Luther college, Strickland OF
Simpson, Osborn of Des Moines, Long
of Tabor and Marquis of Coe.
The president will probably bring
into the conference the question as to
whether the state board of educational
examiners has any jurisdiction except
in establishing minimum require
ment of the schools to whose gradu-
ates teachers certificates are granted.
