The Hapsburg, or Hapsburgs, of whom Emperor Francis Joseph was the head, derive their nama from the castle of Habichtsburg, or Hawks cas- tie. in the Swiss canton of Aargau. In the twelfth century the family be- came one of the most powerful in Swa- bia, Rudolf III was elected en- peror of Austria in the following century. While thus extending their possessions and acquiring influence the Hapsburgs lost their original family possessions, which were gradually ab- sorbed by the cantons.

EUROPE YIELDING TO ORIENT.

Europe's production of the class of merchandise generally referred to as "luynries" Is steadily declining. Customs officials charged with the exhnltnation of fine arts goods and luxuries have declared that the stress of conflict In Europe was be- coming such that. unless the war ends shortly, still lower levels of im- ports in these classes may be ex- pected.
 The local customhouse reports, according to the New York Times, indicate that, while Europe IS losing its primary position here as an im- porter of luXuries, the far East mer- chants are taking advantage of Ea- rope's misfortune to ship here un- precedented quantities of Oriental merchandise of all kinds, including objects of art, chinaware, silks, ex- pensive window and door hangings and pearls. China, Japan and India are wing with each other in that trade.

NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY
German Scientist Employs High Cur.
 rent in the Rapid Production Of Mirrors.

1 A rapid and admirable method for depositing suitable metals on the surface of glass so as to produce mir TOTS, consists of decomposing the metal by means of high-potentlal electric current. It Is thus described lin the Physikalische Zeitschrift by e. Rumelin.
 A metal plate is placed in juxts- position with the glass plate which IS to receive the coating. The two plates are then placed flat on table beneath the receiver of an air-pumpI suitable for producing a high degree of vacuum.
 A small quantity of an inert gas, such as hydrogen, is introduced into the vacuum and a high-potential cur rent is then turned on by means of the negative pole of suitable source of electricity, this pole being at tached to the metal plate. Thirty seconds duration of this cathodic flow Is sufficient to obtain a properly silvered mirror.
 Besides silver the metals gold, cop- per, platlHum, nickel, iron, palla- dium and iridium may be employed.

Ambition.

Ambition Is a splendid servant, but a dangerous master. Have an ambi- ton. You are not worth much and never will be worth much unless you have. Make it an ambition worth while. and never forget to leaven the selfishness in it with devotion to the human duty of service to humanity. Possibly it Is better to have bad ann bition-certainly II is better to have a poor ambition-than no ambition at all. But an ambition. like an appe- tite. needs watching and controlling Duluth (AIinn) Herald.
