Remedies Put to Good Use.

I'VE observe says the philosopher,

actly how to cure it.
From his pocket he takes large
memorandum book and enters our
prescription on one of the final pages
thereof. Then he snaps rubber band
about the book, sneezes and smiles
happily.

glad our instructions for cure have

cITYs ISRAEL IN MOURNING
War Has played Havoc With London's
Secondhand Business in Mems
Clothing.

There is sorrow in Judea and mourn
ing in the tents of Israel. At least,
this applies to that large and hitherto
fourishing section which is especially
interested in the vending of second
hand clothing. Several marts wherein
the impecunious were wont to be
smartly endued with "West end mis-
fits" have been closed down altogeth-
er, and others are feeling a severe
draft created by the blast of the war
trumpet.
I'VE cannot get the stuff" is the
cry of the beady-eyed statesmen with
the crisped hair, lurking mournfully
behind deserted counter. The war
affects the secondhand clothing trade
in two ways. First, the young knut
whose CASTOR raiment was the main
stay of the business is now in khaki.
He has not troubled his tailor in the
matter of civilian clothes for many
moons. Formerly brisk trade was
done in the morning coats and lounge
suits discarded by young and fastidi-
Gus officers. These were eagerly
bought up by the city clerks and 9TH
ers whose means were not equal to
their taste in attire. Now that source
of supply is cut off, The military Brum-
mel is living, and has been for months,
in a suit of torn and mud-stained
khaki. Furthermore, many hundreds
of young dudes have joined the army
since the outbreak of the war. So
that channel is stopped up, and the
disconsolate Israelite repeats his
mournful cry: 1--WE cannot get the
stuff. London Globe.

PLATINUM SCARS IN PRICE
Also Hard to Obtain, and jewelers.
Are Beginning to Feel Effects
of the Shortage.

Platinum is now selling at 500 an
ounce and many concerns are even
getting a higher price for it. Not SO
long ago one could buy all this metal
wanted for $24 an ounce. 1t is ru-
mored that an attempt is being made
by the French government to corner
all the metal possible. jewelers. are
finding it unusually difficult to obtain
it and some refiners will not sell it to
anyone except jewelers..
Metals which are frequently mixed
with platinum are osmium, iridium and
palladium. The fumes from osmium
are very dangerous and workers with
this metal must exercise the greatest
care in making alloys, etc. Platinum
is generally hardened with 5 or 10 per
cent iridium, which is also used to tip
fountain pen points.
Platinum is also used extensively in
the electrical industry, and now, owing
to it's scarcity, molybdenum is being
substituted. Many attempts to make
other substitutes for platinum to be
used in jewelry have been made, but
without much success. These include
cheap alloys as well as white gold,
which latter, in many cases, however,
eventually turns yellow. The success
of white gold was rather precarious
owing to the difficulty in making peo-
pie believe that it was really gold,
everyone having been taught from
childhood up that gold is yellow.

QUEER GIFTS TO ROYALTY
Odd Ways in Which People Have

gentleman had the form and value Of
his gift to the king prescribed. Regu
lations provided that an earl should
appear at the royal presence chamber
at eight o'clock New Year morning
to deliver a five-shilling purse contain.
ing 20-shilling coins to the lord cham.
berlain for the king.
Next the earl visited the jewel-houSe,
where he received a ticket which en-
titled him to gift Of Is shillings s
pence, the pence of which he was re-
quired to give for box for the ticket
The same morning he went to another
Office to select a piece Of silver plate
weighing about 80 ounces, but left It
until afternoon, when he returned for
it. At that time he gave the man who
handed it to him 40 shillings in gold
2 shilIings for the box and pence to
