Refuse From Lead and Zinc Ores Has
Become a Handy Material.

For miles about the city of Joplin.
Jasper county, Mo-, lead and zinc ores
are being removed from the earth in
tremendous quantities. To facilitate
matters the rough product is crushed
into small pieces, permitting the valu-
able portions to be removed from the
lime and flint which compose the body
Of the ores.
Thousands of tons Of this rocky ma
terial accumulate each month, and for
years great piles of what the workmen
call chats We're to be found scattered
all over that section.
Roads were constructed from this
refuse. Then all the railroads entering
that section used it for ballast.
When ement paving was begun
gravel was scarce, while this refuse
was TO be had in great quantities, and
1t was found to be as good as any other
material for the body of concrete paw
ing.
Next the refuse found its way into
cement foundations and then into
building blocks used as steps. window
caps and sills and, in fact. almost any
thing in the form of cement construc-
ton.
Thousands of fcnceposts have been
cast from it. and now whole buildings
are being built with it.
1t is cheap. costing but a trif1e per
load. and about all the outlay of con
tractors in securing it is the cost of get
ting 1t to the place it is to be used. 1t
has brought down the price of cement
work. and mechanics declare it is first
class lii every respect.

Adequate Supply of TWO Grades Ad-
visabse-Care Of the TabiecIotn.
While it is impossible to absolutely
regulate quantities Of table linen, few
households II Go with less than half
a dozen large tablecloths, a dozen ia
bic napkins and half Il dozen afternoon
tea cloths Of varying degrees of or
~nateness, besides tray cloths. Nearly
every ordinary woman will find it wise
to have at least two grades of table
linen, best and ordinary. Linen should
be allowed to get low all around,
so that each article requires replenish-
ing at the same time.
Two large tableclOthS should be kept
in use at once, one for breakfast and
moved. and the cloth should always be
handled carefully. To fold Il table
cloth in the same creases each time it
is removed is not altogether wise. 1t
tends to make the cloth wear into
holes in the folds very quickly.
In case of stains upon a tablecloth
it is not necessary to change it imme-
diately. Try the effect of putting a
bowl under the stained part and pour
ing boiling water through until the
stain disappears. In CASE of fruit
stains cover the mark first with salt.
Then remove the basin and press the
wet part between two rather heavy
folded clean towels. When nearly dry
press lightly with a fairly warm iron.

Answering the Pessimist.

The tough luck is tough,
And the steep hills are steep;
The rough road is rough,
And it's mournful to weep.
There r burdens to bear

But aren't the skies fair
When the trouble clouds go?
Admitting That pain
is encountered on earth,
That frequently rain
Comes to dampen u mirth,
That sadness is found
As We tread on our way.
Aren't the joys that abound
Most DELIGHTFULLY."- gay?
The tough luck is tough,
And some troubles are great,
And the rough roads are rough,
And love suffers from hate,
Bat isn't it true
That the pleasures we meet
W hen our skies become blue
Are delightfully."- sweet?

knew how priceless was the find, and
the thought that he had betrayed the
confidence of a guest was an addition

At last his condition became SO grave

He knew well enough that no medical
man could bring him relief, and as .
last resourc Lena wrote Paul asking
him to come and see them. Already
Paul had gained a reputation as q spe-
cialist, and since her father would not
go to see a physician the only thing to
be done vas to bring the specialist to
him.
She said nothing Of Pauls visit to
her father, and she arranged with
Paul to pretend that he had dropped
of over n train to pay q short visit.
They met only at tho table, and Paul's
first glance told him that his host was,
laboring under some great mental.
strain and that nothing could b done
until that strain was relieved. With
the idea Of diverting tho professors
attention from his caras 10 brought
out a scarab.

AWAKENED TRAIN OF THOUGHT
Little Incident That Would Have
Made Almost Any Man Super
stltlous.

Seeking to dispel the pangs OF lone
someness occasioned by the absence
OF his wife, who had been away for
several days visiting her parents in
another city, a fashionable n we'll
known resident OF the East side in
vited a number OF his men friends to
his home M night last week to play
cards and clink glasses.
Being fond of music the host en-
gagged a four-piece orchestra and while
his guests exchanged deals and raised
the cut glasses to their lips he found
more pleasure in reclining in a favor
lite leather cushioned chair and listen
ing to the music.
1t was nearing the time for depar-
trre when n of the merry-makers
proposed that each guest drink a toast
to the host and that he respond. When
all had followed the suggestion they
turned toward the host. Tell us what
you are thinking Of your wife," one
suggested as the party giver hest
tated.
Raising his glass to a level with his
lips be was about to respond. Il was
thinking and wondering"
Just at hat moment the orchestra
began its rendition of Il Wonder
Who's kissing Her Now"
The guests never heard the re
spouse, but If they had fingered out
side and peered through the library
window they would have seen him
writing a letter which was later en-
closed in an envelope bearing a spe
cial delivery stamp. The contents Of
the message have not been made pub
lie, but the wife anne home two day
later.-Kansas City Journal.

IN THE GRIP OF DEVILFISH
French Diver Barely Survives a Des-
perate Submarine Fight With
a Sea Monster.

Paris.-An amazing story which
might have come from the pen of
Jules Verne is reported from Toulon,
where a diver had a fight which near.
ly proved fatal with a giant octopus.
While Diver Ledu was under water
In the floating dock of the arsenal he
suddenly saw the APPROACH of a ma
rine monster. In a moment its long
%tentacles were wound about him, but
not before he managed to give the
signal to be raised to the surface. He
was lifted on to a float unconscious
and the ~tentacles Of the octopus had
to be cut from the mans body, the
monster refusing to abandon its prey.
When measured the creatures ten
tacles were found to be 33 feet long.
Describing the adventure, Ledu said:
Il went down without my dagger
because l felt safe in the floating
dock. l had been under water Is
minutes when | noticed an unusual
movement and saw with horror that ]
had to deal with a giant devilfish. 1t
Immediately closed upon me, winding

hoat with my comrades about me.
They had killed the monster, which
had refused to let go and was dragged
into the float with me. They had a
long fight before they mastered the

added, as he did not speak. why

They emerged by a side exit into

street.
"Is 1t not well designed, well
swung?" she challenged. 1T is fast
on the race track-you know that. Is
it not handsome?"
She spoke eagerly, with more ami
nation than he had yet seen in her.
Stanton ran a careless glance over the
big, tan-colored automobile standing
by the curb.
1T is a good car" he agreed con-
servatively; privately he considered
it both too high and too heavy for rae
ing work.
"Only that? You say only that? But
wait, you have not driven 1t. When
papa comes we can start"
Mr.. Carlisle was coming; a spare,
nervous gentleman who wore glasses

slipped monotonously. He and Stan

across her expression.
Your mechanician? Is 1t possible?
You also are going to Lowell, Mr..
Floyd?"
YES, since my next work is there"
Floyd replied, unsmiling and laconic.
1t was evident he and Miss Carlisle
disliked each other at sight.
She turned from him indifferently.
Mr.. Stanton. I m going to make
you a selfish invitation. Our place is
about seventy-ive miles from New

driven there by you? You could go on
to Lowell with us tomorrow morn

Amazed, Stanton looked at her. Once
again he mentally asked himself what
she could want Of him.
THANK you; 1 have arranged to
take this %train," he declined.
Decidedly?
Decidedly, Miss Carlisle"
She bent her head, patting her
small tan shoe on the platform. She
was even more handsome than his
night glimpse Of her had shown. with
an ivory-tinted, cultivated beauty
whose one defect was GOODNESS.
"Of course. l can not urge you." she
slowly rejoined. But stroll back to
the depot with me, pray; l had some
thing to say"

"Is my train also, since you will not
take me in the motor-car. We have
time enough; l inquired Of the con

Until they were out Of the city. he
drove with a wise obedience to traffic
