WILD WOLVES IN ENGLAND.

Scarborough was in earlier days
famous as town that provided on
its outskirts shelter for the traveller
from the wolves of the land. But
the forest that bred the wolves is
now mere thing of tradition. Al
though Scarborough has long,
fashionable past, it could be written
about one hundred and fifty years
ago as a fishing place. Mr.. Pennant,
the industrious tourist of that Pc
riod, calculated the population at
ten thousand, 'ichiehy sailors, who
own 800 ships, which are generally
hired out for freight, as the place
has scarcely any trade of its own. "
One wonders what revenge the town
might not have taken on its German
enemy if the ruined castle had been
as in the old days the strongest on
the coast.-London Chronicle.

mother cannot hide certain i'll feel
ing for the young girl who has mon
opolized her son. In a heart-to-heart
talk Billy exclaims to her prospec-
tive mother-in-law:
Don't you s'pose that every
mother has just naturally got to feel
that way for a while, when she's done
everything for him; washed him, and
dressed him, and sewed on his bus
tons and-and made him cookies,
and spanked him, and taught him
to say his prayers, and-and every
thing! And then some old girl
comes along, some ignorant little old

ers never even seen, and doesn't
know at all! And gets engaged to

OLD GAME STILL POPULAR
"Morro," Much Played in Italy, 10
Claimed to Be More Ancient
Even Than Chess.

We are apt to look on marbles as
the most economical of games, but
"morro" is perhaps the most eco
nomical game in the world, for it de-
mands nothing but pair of hands.
The players each throw out the right
hand, with a number of fingers ex-
tended. Then each has to call ''fve,"
"three," eight" or any number that
he considers equal to the number of
fingers extended by himself and his
opponent added together. In this
lies the test, for an old hand can
divine by the very turn of his oppo-
nent's fingers how many he is going
to extend. Whenever a player
guesses the right total in any throw
he counts it on his left hand by fold
ing in a finger of that hand. 1t
takes nine such correct guesses by
one player 10 make game. ibis
game is prescribed by law if prac-
ticed in public, hence the deyotees
.betake themselves to alleys and by
ways. From the silence of these
regions comes the telltale bowling of
the raucous players. AS game sue
ceeds game, and the wine they play
for is consumed, the play becomes
more intense, the cries more hoarse
and loud, so that one would imagine
they were dogs barking. No game
is older than this-even chess must
yield the palm for antiquity-and
yet it is as popular and as primitive
today as when first played on the
banks Of the Nile.

GET TITANIUM FROM RUTILE
Rare Metal Is of Much Commercial
Value, but Seldom Found in
ANY Quantity.

Rutile, from which is derived the
metal titanium, is a reddish, brown
ish or nearly black mineral composed
of titanium dioxide, and though it
is widely spread through the rocks
it is rarely found in large quantities.
Titanium exists in larger quantity
in the earth's crust than copper, lead,
zinc or any of the common metals
except iron, but it is called one of
the rare metals because of the lack of
concentrated deposits and because
the metal is so difficult to separate
that it has been seen by few people.
The value of ,rutile arises from the
use of titanium as a scavenger in
molten steel and cast iron, and from
the use of titanium salts in dyeing
textiles and in tanning leather. The
largest known deposits of rutile are
at Roseland, Nelson county, Va. A
few other much smaller deposits have
been found in the eastern part of the
United States, and still other depos-
its, also much smaller than those in
Virginia, have been found in foreign
countries.
