Prices sagged off under scattered

Wordn.

Words are used for various purposes
to evade issues, to put people to
sleep, to break up homes. to present
literature and TO conceal ideas, Moth
Ing exceeds like words.
Words are used In speeches, debates
and stories. Massed In serried groups
in newspapers and text books they pre-
vent people from learning anything.
Last words are most effective and are
employed exclusively by women and
prominent citizens who are dying.
Words are nothing In themselves, but
only In their relationship to other
words. 1t is the system Of putting
them together that counts. Most words
are like unorganized militia. In war
the mortality among them is fearful.
They never win battles. When words
are found in regular army style, how
ever, disciplined and exper' snced. they
are likely to be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Gold In Carate.

We often hear people in speaking Of
their watches say. ut is an IS carat
case" Others speak Of IA carat watch
es or % carat or solid gold rings. When
you see the marks on watch case or
the inside of gold ring they read 1S X.
or IA X, or whatever number OF carats
the maker wishes to indicate. A piece
Of gold tewaIry marked IS X, or IS
carats, means that it Is three-fourths
pure. gold. In arranging this basis of
marking things made of gold abso-
lutely pure gold IS called "a carats.
Then If two, six or ten twenty-fourths
of alloy has been added the amount OF
the alloy Is deducted from twenty
four, and the result Is either %. IS or
IA carats fine, and 80 on. On ordinary
articles made by jewellers the amount
of pure gold used is seldom over IS
cafats, or three fourths Wedding rings
land these are considered solid gold
are generally made % carats fine
that is, there are only two twenty
fourths parts Of alloy in them.
