"No. He's Just the type who

Blanche looked at the troubled

thatshe had never heard of a fine

MILK IVORY AS SUBSTITUTE
In Appearance Hardened Substance
Can Hardly Be Distinguished
From the Real Article.

Skim milk is used for the keyboards
Of pianos, and although in appearance
this hardened substance Is scarcely
distinguishable from ivory, 1t Is con-
siderably more durable and less ex-
pensive A British factory of syrol1t.
at the skim-milk ivory Is called. exists
at Stroud, where it was established
about year ago, and hundreds of gal
Ions of separated milk are daily trans
formed into one of the most useful ma
terials that have been invented in re-
cent times.
In view Of the fact that ivory is be-
coming scarcer every day, the demahd
for skim-nilk ivory for the purposes
of making piano keys is enormous.
The product is sent to every part Of
the world. 1t is used for umbrella
handles, buttons, photograph frames
and various appliances, and is espe-
cially appreciated by comb manufac-
turers, as it can be made to look like
horn, is considerably less expensive.
and is, of course, non-inflammable.
The milk Is not mixed with any
other substance, but after being puri-
fled it is compressed SO that all the
moisture is extracted and the sub.
stance becomes hard and dry.

ERECTING A CONCRETE WALL
Economy 10 Main Advantage Urged ~
lnventor-Time, Labor and Money
Saved by tho System.

An ingenious method OF concrete
construction is to set the forms for
the walls Of house almost level. ana
after pouring the concrete and allow
ing It to harden to tilt the wall on
edge. Economy is the main advantage
Of this system; saving OF time, LABOR
and money, 80 the inventor claims, and
the method has been used with success
In large buildings erected by the
United States government and large
corporations. Walls Of 100 feet In
length have been raised In one piece,
but 1t is not adapted to structures OF
great height.
The device consists Of a series OF
jackscrews supporting trussed frame,
upon which the form for the wall Is
built. The frame sets at very slight
angle, end the workmen can move
about it with ease, doing their work
faster than when mailing upright forms
In place. One side of the form Is not
needed at all, as the upper surface OF
the concrete is smoothed out, or hn'
ished in various ways; this results In
saving Of almost half the lumber re-
CURED for upright forms.
After the concrete has hardened. the
operation of fitting the wall upright
takes place; this Is accomplished by
means of small engine which oper-
ates all the jackscrews simultaneously,
SO that the great mass of the wall ts
Nd OF 70 found q
ton. OF course it is essential to use
great care in securing perfect align
ment of the jackscrews and the frames.
AS each wall is set in place 1t is braced
and the corners where two walls meet
are joined by concrete, 30 that the fin
ished structure is practically mon
olith. Usually the reinforcing rods are
allowed to project at the corners.

HALE AND HEARTY AT 1O4
John Durant, Sailor Boy Of Ninety
Years Ago, Celebrates His
Birthday.

London.-John Durant entered tho
British navy years ago. He was four
teen then, but he Is still enjoying life
at Weybridge where he entered upon
his one hundred and fifth year.
During the winter he spends most
Of the time In his bedroom, but In the
summer he walks abroad for consid-
cradle distances. He Is a very hearty
eater and smokes three ounces OF to-
bacco regularly every week. Special
fare was provided for his delectation
to mark the great occasion Of his one
hundred and fourth birthday.
When the news came that Franklin
was lost in the Arctic circle in 1885
Durant volunteered for the search ex-
petition, but he did not sail on the IL
fated Terror; he withdrew and went
to the West Indies instead In 1S43
he entered the service of the South
Metropolitan Gas company as barge
man, and after 40 years OF work re-
tired on pension, which he has now
enjoyed for 80 years.

peals to her, fer her conception or the
"one man" has changed.
She likes the man who has begun
career; young man who talks or
most anything else besides football
and college days; who Is just at that
age when he is trifle Indifferent as
to whether he makes an impression
or not. The woman who has reached
thirty appreciates the bachelor; not
the flippant kind, nor yet the man
about town, who Is a conspicuous hg-
ure at all prominent affairs, and who
is much sought after by mammas with
manageable daughters.
When she nears forty, it is the wild
over who appeals to her. especially
II he has little family which needs
woman's influence and care-if he has
not passed the five and forty mile
stone on life's pathway. He Is neither
too young nor yet too old, not over
rich, yet well-todo.
Tango or hesitation waltz may have
no charm for him, yet he enjoys con-
ttllS, lHtdl'lS anu NoSy iINNip bi"hNi
parties. He appreciates sensibility in
a woman, yet likes her to enjoy life
and brightness. He appreciates the
woman who Is fond OF our-of-door life,
and can put on her hat and accom-
pany him anywhere on five minutes
notice and whom his friends wives
like to visit. This type Of man suits
a woman of forty in every way. When
she has reached another decade OF
years, she likes the man ten years her
senior, be he widower or bachelor,
But, If an additional ten years were
added to his age he would be all the
more pleasing in her eyes. He would
be sympathetic, companionable, con-
tent to sit by the fireside with her,
and in dressing gown and slippers,
recount to her the experiences Of the
| days when Time was young with him.
! She likes him because he is content
with her only, her ways, her dress.

MAY BE IRELAND'S WCEROY

II Is almost definitely decided that
Prince Arthur of Connaught Is to be
the nrst home rule viceroy of ireland.
There was some talk Of his succeeding
his father, the duke OF Connaught, as
governor general of Canada, but THIS
will not now take place, unless the
unionists are successful in preventing
the government from establishing
parliament In Ireland
Like all members Of the Connaugh'
family, Prince Arthur is extremely
popular, and besides 1t is considered
that he would make an able and re-
sponsible viceroy, while his nearness
TO the throne and his personal init
macy with the king would have
great effect in soothing unionist sus.
capabilities in ireland.
II would be difficult for Irish society
TO boycott a viceregal court held by
the first cousin and the niece Of the
sovereign, especially after the latter
had visited Dublin in person to open
the first Irish parliament, which he
