USES OF SOAPSTONE.
Large Quantities of Tale Employed In
Industry.

IncuStry.
A new record was made in raising
the annual production of tale or soap
stone in the United States to lJ0.I,i
short tons in 1910. an increase of III
per cent in quantity and 80 per cent
in value compared with the production
in 1909. according to j. S. Diller of the
United States geological survey.
Tale is usually marketed in the rough
from the mine. sawed into slabs and
made up into manufactured objects
su, h as laundry tubs or ground into
powder. In 1910 60 per cent Of the tale
was ground and q per cent made into
slabs and manufactured. The product
Of New York is practically all ground
Vermont ranks second and produces
both ground tale and soapstone. Vir
ginia, the third in rank, produces some
ground tale. but large amount of
soapstone, in the production of which
it outranks all other states.
Most of the ground tale is used in the
manufacture Of paper Of various kinds.
especially building paper. 1t finds ap-
plication also in the manufacture Of
nodded rubber forms and as foundry
facings and paints. 1t readily absorbs
grease and is used to remove spots
from silk and to bleach cotton goods.
On account Of its slipperiness. one of
its most important properties. 1t is
widely used to lessen friction, and for
this purpose it is busted into gloves
and shoes and blown into conduits to
ease the introduction Of electric wires
or other conductors. One Of its widest
applications is in toilet powders, most
of which are made from high grade
tale imported from Europe.
Laundry tubs, griddles, foot warm
ers and many other similar utensils
are manufactured from soapstone.
The higher grades of massive tale. free
from flaws, are sawed up to make
pencils or crayons, French chalk, gas

Cutting Cost Of Living.
A big grocer in Los Angeles has de-
cided to reduce the cost of living 20
per cent without waiting for the gov
eminent to revise the tariff or bust
the trusts.
This Is how he does 1t:
Sells only on Il cash basis, thus saw
ing the annual expense OF $4,000 for
collecting and bookkeeping
Customers who want to maintain a
running account deposit cash and are
credited 1 per cent interest on the I'M
used balances.
He aboishes all free deliveries,
charging > per cent on all goods sent
to the customers house. AS he for
mcry figured 20 per cent as cost of
delivery, the customer is ahead to the
tune of II per cent.
He slnShcd 20 per cent from the
price of all goods on the day that this
system was put into practice.
\ saving of onc-tifth of the grocery
bills of the nation would add very ma.
terially to the comfort of life in mil
lions of homes.
If the plan works in Los Angeles
why isn't it workable anywhere else?

A CUP OF TEA.
is Plays q Curious and Important Part
In Chinese Business Eth
quette.

When salesman or person seeking
a business interview presents his card
at the entrance to a Chinese mer-
chants place Of business the posi-
bility OF an audience depends alto
gether upon how he depOrts himself
while awaiting the return Of the card
bearer. Should he be so indiScreet as
to put one foot over the twelve inch
railing that intervenes between the
step and the doorway no manner of
persuasion can prevail upon the mer-
chant to grant him an interview.
In case he waits patiently in the
space allotted to unknown callers this
fact is noted. and he is usually ush-
cred in.
Once in, there is still a more delicate
matter TO be disposed of, and in case
the newcomer is ignorant of the Gus
tom he fares i'll with his errand. I'm
mediately upon the callers entering
and taking a seat a servant brings a
serving of tea, which includes a small
cup for each person present. The
point Of etiquette demands that this
tea shall not be touched until the guest
Is ready to depart, in case the inter
view has been a pleasant one, In which
case the caller is supposed to take up
and drink his tea at parting, and at
this signal all the others do likewise.
However, should it so happen that the
Chinaman is not pleased with his call
er and is In any way annoyed by him
the merchant takes up the tea and be-
gins to drink at once, which act is a
direct and decided hint that the in
terview is ended and has not been to
the pleasure Of the merchant. The
caller is then expected to take his i'm
mediate departure.
When caller has become well ac-
Quatnted some OF the fOrmality is bro
ken by the Chinese, and on a colo
day a cup Of tea is served immediate
" to the guest in d social way. But
the formal tea is still to be Observ-
ed and partaken of at parting, ire

greet the caller on his arrival. This.
however, is done only after many Wis

FRENCH FISH STORY.
Three Days Carnival of Marpignon's
Intrepid Anglers.

] hreS Days Carnival of Marpignon'S
Intrepid Anglers.
Though their lakes and ponds are
few and their rivers comparatively
destitute of fish, the French people are
extremely fond of angling. Indeed,
nervous and excitable as the average
Frenchman may be, he is content to
sit by stream with a pole and wait
all day for a bite.
In a certain country town not far
from Paris there existed a fishing club
named the Intrepid Fishers of Marpi-
gnOn. A pretty stream goes through
MarpignOn, but for many years not
one fish had been seen in this stream,
from which circumstance, it followed.
the Intrepid Fishers had little to do.
says Harper's Weekly.
The excitement may be imagined.
therefore. when the word ran through
MarpignOn that d large barbel-a
tough and gamy fsh-had been seen
In the stream. The Intrepid Fishers
turned out and, having ascertained
that there was indeed a barbel in the
stream, Immediately stopped the wa
ter some little distance above and be-
low him with gratings so that he
could not get away.
Then they ranged themselves joy
fully along the stream with hook and
line, and all went to fishing for the
one fish.
By and by one Intrepid Fisher
caught him and Immediately threw
him back into the water. In the
course of time another caught him and
did the same.
For three days one veraciOus ac-
count has it the Intrepid Fishers kept
at work catching this one barbel and
at the end of that time the fish died
Of exhaustion and loss of blood. Then
the Intrepid Fishers counted up the
nOtches that they had made on their
fish poles, and the man who had
caught the baTbel the most times was
declared the champion fisherman Of
MarpignOn and received great hOnors.

and subsequently recast in Philadel-

and to All the Inhabitants Thereof" It
WIS cracked while being toIled after the
death Of Chief Justice John Marshall
In 1885. 1t is kept on exhibition In In
dependence hall, Philadelphia. 1t has
had a fictitious importance owing to
the popular belief that its ringing pro-
claimed the adoption Of the Declare

Concerning this belief, however, Fried

Eishskin Tarfars

The skin of the fish does not suggest
itself as suitable material for the
making Of clothes, yet it is used for
this purpose by a tribe of Tartars in
Manchuria. They inhabit the banks
Of the PeOny river and live by fishing
and hunting. During the past 100
years they have become nearly extinct
owing to the invasion of their domain
by agricultural Chinese. They are
known as Fishskin Tartars. The fish
they use is the tamara, a species of
salmon. Both the flesh and the skin
Of the fish are supposed to possess
wonderful heat giving prOperties.-Chi-

THE HESSIANS.
They Were Good Soldiers, Sent Hsrs
Against Their VIII, and Some
Became Good Americans.

There is a popular belief among some
people that the Hessian mercenaries
brought here by the British govern
ment to fight the Americans remained
here after the war was over and that
their descendants constitute a consid-
cradle element of the Pennsylvania
Germans Of today. Comparatively few
remained here after the war, because
the British government was under con-
tract to return such as escaped the
casualties Of the war after it was over
The few that remained made good citi-
zens, as they made the very best SOL
diers against the Americans, and
whenever it was practical to do so
they were put in the most responsible
places by the British commanders.
The intense hatred at one time
against the so called Hessian soldiers,
some OF which still fingers with the
present generation, is very unjust. be-
cause they did not volunteer to fight
against the Americans. but they were
forced into the British service by the
impecunious German princes who sold
them 10 the British like so many
slaves. The Hessian soldiers would
sometimes take notion to desert, and
they invariably found refuge among
some OF the German colonists. A con-
siderable number OF them were left
behind from time to time on marches.
on account Of sickness or wounds.
These always found a ready welcome
among German settlers; few Of them
ever found the way back TO their ma
tive land.-"Pennsylvan Germans"
