HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
Platinum Ore the Ingredient, and the
Process Is Something of a Com
pIicated Matter.

Metallic iridium, used so extensive.
ly for the points of gold pens, is made
from the powder obtained in the wet
way from platinum ore by heating to
a high heat in a sand crucible and
then adding stick phosphorus. The
iridium, which cannot be melted alone,
is thus fused in the form of an irid.
lum phosphide. To remove the phos-
phorus the phosphide is heated with
lime and the iridium is left in the
form of a hard, white mass. 1t is now
so hard that it cannot be filed or cut,
and is broken up into small pieces for
soldering to the points of gold pens.
These small pieces are ground to the
right size on a copper disk wheel with
emery or carborundum. 1t is said that
an ounce of iridium will make from
5000 to 10000 pen points. 1t has
also been found that the iridium thus
prepared is practically as hard as the
ruby. No steel tools can make any
impression upon it. At one time much
less expensive than platinum, iridi-
UNI now is worth more on account of
the demand for hard platinum, in
which the iridium is the hardening
agent. \

so endowed by nature that she earned
thousands of dollars in one evening by
the gift Of her voice. When Hiram
Smith first took her in his boat he
stared at her till he nearly lost his
oars. She was the most beautiful wo.
nan whom he had aver seen. And
when she sang, the world seemed sud.
denly a thing of crystal and fire to
him.
Marian Kempner was at first
amused and then interested in the de.
votion of the young fisherman. To
her, a woman Of the world, who had

London, it seemed astonishing that he

played with him, aping the ingenue

OF real emotion. In that week at Run.

first freshness Of her mind; it was a
new world that she encountered when
she returned, and that winter she was

And on the last evening Hiram
Smith offered her his heart and

That was the climax of her story,

keep themselves from falling. Early
next morning the party went away.

Young Doctor Cures Patient Of
Hallucination While Win

BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN.

BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN
Mrs. Susan Roberts was a chronic
invalid. She knew it herself. She
had influenced the more impressible
of her friends with the conviction
AS to her devoted but unfortunate
husband, whatever his opinion he
fully realized that she was making
home life about as wretched and un.
inviting as it could well be.
What had started well and healthy
Mrs. Roberts on the downward road
to despair and dissolution, was the
visit to the town of a quack. This
irresponsible individual scattered q
pamphlet describing his nostrums and
dwelling gravely upon the dangers of
wasting away" Just at that time
Mrs. Roberts had lost ten pounds. It
was warm weather that had reduced
her flesh, and Wien she began. to wor.
ry over her fancied ailments she lost
ten more.
Young DR.. Allen was called in. At
the outset he told his patient that
there was nothing in the world the

Dear Lucy! the saving grace of the
situation. She was pretty as a pic.
ture, and loved company and pleasure
as well as any live healthy Miss of
eighteen. She felt great gratitude,
however, towards the aunt, who had
taken care of her since she had been
left an orphan. She had learned to
take most of the household work on
her W young willing shoulders when
her aunt was well. When her fan.
cied ailments came upon her there
were added the duties of a patient,
untiring nurse.
Lucy therefore had little time to
think of beaux or parties. AS to love,
her practical life banished romance.

heart beat a trife faster when, in as

HAD TO RELY ON HIMSELF

Proved He Lacked Self.
Reliance.

There was once a young man who
felt that he needed help. When he
was poor in spirit and saw that he
must needs prove himself he COM
forted himself by saying: "'This is
my W town and here are my neigh
bors and acquaintapces. Their good
will must bear me up"
And he leaned on them, but they
we're as a broken reed under him.
They did not support him, writes Mar.

man. Then he said: Il will 20 to
my best friend, who is a very DOW
erful man. Surely he will carry me
through"
But his best friend gave him only
sympathy. and it was easy to see that
by the very giving of that sympathy
doubt was augmented. And the young
man called his best friend a traitor
and left him, for he could not win
his support. And then the young man
said: Il will go to those Of my own
blood, my family. and they will be
my strong staff on which to lean.
Surely they will not leave me in he
lurch."
But though his family offered him
much advice and a little money, they
did not support him, nor did they en-
courage him. And he left them sad
~. And, finally, because he could
think of no n else who would be
likely to help him, he sought out the
Sage Who Never SAUNDERS and told
his tale disconsolately. And he did
everything that could be done for the
young man, for he said:
None will bear you up or carry

had invited her to a local entertain

her we'll, and it would be a great

DR.. Allen looked at her as though
he cherished the promise. Their
friendly intimacy grew stronger aft
er that, and Lucy was glad whenever
the doctor came to the house.
One day DR.. Allen met John Rob

on his patient for several days, and
he naturally asked her husband how
his wife was getting along.

piled John gloomily. Declares the
end is pretty close. She has lost five
pounds more, won't eat because it
distresses her, and now she insists
she is losing the use of her limbs"
Indeed, how is that?" questioned
the doctor.
Fell over a chair and famed her
foot. It's pretty well bruised, but
she says a foot doesn't count when
her whole system is going to pieces"
A speculative look came into the
doctors face. He smiled slightly and
his eyes frightened.
See here, Roberts," he observed
briskly. we've got to circumvent
that quack who put such nonsense
into your wife's head"
"But how can we do it," submitted
John doubtingly.
The opportunity has arrived" pro
nonnced the doctor confidently.
Somehow we have got to get your
wife's mind away from her hobby.
The bruised foot will do it."
What do you mean?"
This evening insist on calling me
up, telling her you are worried about
that foot, but don't let her know you
told me about it."

band, but h%opelessly.

home that night to find the invalid
occupying her customary couch down
stairs. He had to listen to a new
