NOW CALLED NICKEL-SILvER
Well-known Metal Has Been Relieved
From the Obliqu,ty Of Bearing
German Name.

One of the largest matchmaking
concerns in this country has recently
changed the name of the alloy here
tofore known as German silver, and Is
now marketing this commodity as
nickel-silver, and publication devoted
to the metal industry suggests that
the word silver be eliminated entirely,
as there is no silver in the combina-
ton. This publication says: IF the
nickel is taken from an is per cent
German silver alloy only two and
one brass will remain. Why not then
call the compound 'nickel-brass. or, IL
commercial objections are too strong
to be overcome at once, why not call 1t
nickel alloy? The various contents OF
nickel may be designated by utilizing
the different percentages that the al
10y contains. Thus, 4, 6, s, 10, II, Is
IS per cent, etc. nickel-alloy. 1t is a
fact that some manufacturers are al
ready designating the material now
being sold as Sheffield plate as sill
ver-plate on nickel base We see
no reason why the same argument
does not apply to the alloy being called

CHATTER vi.
oemocracy's Worst Enemy.

The great military machine which
the kaiser had built up during the first
20 years of his reign "for the purpose
of maintaining peace" was constantly
itching for war. There was a feeling
among the milltarists that while II
was all right for the kaiser to assume
the role of the prince OF Peace" dur
ing the period Of preparation. 1t was
possible to everyday the part. He so
frequently referred to the fact that
his sole purpose In maintaining large
army and navy was 10 maintain peace
that the war lords of Germany began
TO fear that perhaps he might mean 1t.
The murder of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand. the successor to the Aus
trian throne. and his wife by Ser
blan on June %. 1914. gave Germany
the excuse for which she had been
waiting so long to start a European
condagration and found Austria MS
anxious for war as her ally.
But even had Emperor Franz Joseph
shown reluctance to plunge his nation
into war and had Austria refused to
chastlse Serbia for the murder OF the
Archduke l doubt very much whether
the kaiser would have allowed that
event to have gone unavenged.
1t touched him In one OF his most
vulnerable spots. The sanctity of roy
atty is one Of his most cherished ideas.
He felt sponsor for the monarchles
OF the world. as we feel sponsor for
the democracies. A thrust at throne
was stab at the kaiser's heart, and
with or without the cooperation of
Austria / firmly believe he would have
gone 10 any lengths to have avenged
the crime OF Sarajevo.
II IS true that the kaiser sent a
message TO the car OF Russia in
which he pointed out that Austria
ought TO be allowed to chastfse Serbia
without Interference from the other
European powers. remarking. "We
princes must hold together" but there
can be no doubt that that was very
lar from the outcome dea--st to his
heart. II. indeed. the punishment OF
Serbia had been accomplished with
out war the kaiser would have been a
most disappointed rnan, and II Russia
had failed TO mobilize her troops.

crossing the Russian border. haven't

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
OF the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of tho
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it Is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this. tube restored to. its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh. which is an fnfamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

Minor Scales.

There are two forms of the minor
scale, viz. the melodic and harmonic.
The former Is simetiInts called the
vocal miner scale. because IL is easier
to sing than the harmonic. The latter
has an augmented second netwccn the
sixth and sevents degree. and this Is
difficult TO sing until one has acquired
n certain degree Of proficiency. Tho
harmonic minor scale Is more used In
instrumental than in vocal music.
