II is a well-known fact that many

race show that marital troubles are at
the bottom of their troubles. Num-

hing brashes in order to keep the
wolf awav while able-bodied husbands
are either GU of the city or living
with other women.
This condition of things Is olteh
apparent in the Police Court when
narties to cases are asked if they are
married. In most of cases females ac-
knowledge they have husbands, ouC
that the latter are not living WIN

An ebony-hued specimen Of the

Ancient Industry,

The gold heaters art is one Of the
oldest of the industries, and it is car
ried on today much the same as it
was in ancient days, but new proc
ess of making gold leaf has been re-
Gently introduced in England, which
bids fair to make a revolution in art.
In making these waferlike sheets by
the new process a ring Of aluminium
about five feet in diameter and about
five and half inches in width is en-
ployed, and this is coated with So
luton Of gum, and after drying is
busted with some metallic powder in
thin layer. After this layer has
been polished an electro deposit Of
nickel is made upon the polished lay
er Of baser metal and gold is then
electro deposited on the nickel. Each
of the four layers is very thin, and
the composite layer is said to be thin
ner than the ordinary gold leaf. When
the formation of the leaf has been
completed, the film is cut to expose
the soluble base layer of gum and the
ring is immersed in a solvent liquid
which dissOlves the gum and the
metal film falls onto band moving
at the same rate as the ring, which
last is rotated in the dissOlying IL
quid, the film and paper being finally
cut into book size.

CLEVER POSTCARD CIPHER
Simple in Construction, but VIII Foil
All Efforts of Uninitiated to
Read the Message.

Postal cards would undoubtedly be
IN much greater demand than they
are for purposes of correspondence
but for the fact that the messages
they convey are open TO all through
whose hands they may pass. Yet this
objection is easily overcome. There
are some beautifully simple ciphers
That are almost impossible for anyone
not N the secret to read. Only by
luck, for instance, can even the eX-
pert find the key to a short message
written in the 'trellis" or grill CT
pher 1t is extremely simple and
thousands of people US it TO battle
folks who take an interest in the con-
tents of postcards. To use it, all you
have TO do is TO cut a few oblong
holes IL a blank postcard, place it
over the postcard you mean to write
On, and write your message Iii the
holes. Then take the upper card of
and write some natural reading sen,
fences round the cipher words. Any
lnquisitive person reading the card
when it reaches your correspondents
house will find a message of no inter-
est whatever. Only your correspon-
dent himself, or herself. can read the
real message, and that by placing on
the card q blank card cut out ex-
actly the same way as your own.

Monarch's Tastes Plain.

The spectacle of king who is com
PEELED publicly to beg for a little
bread and water is a distinct novelty.
but we may be thankful that there is
at least some one with courage to
protest against the enforced privations
of the banquet. When King Alfonso
visited Austria a short time ago he
allowed it to be known that loaf OF
crusty bread and large jug of water
we're essentials to his comfort and he
desired that they be set upon the table
where he could reach them at will.
On this particular occasion the dinner
was at the Spanish embassy, and pre-
sumably the king felt free to make
known his wishes, but at the same
time he complained that lin Berlin,
Paris, and London I had frequently to
go short of the two things ! like best
at my meals-bread and water"

at last reached a valley where three sides
