The Patriotic Spirit.

Animated by this spirit the par
tisan is enlarged into patriot. Before
it the lines of party sink into hazy
obscurity; and the horizon which
bounds our view reaches on every side
to the uttermOst verge of the great
Republic 1t is a spirit that exalts
humanity, and imbued with it the
souls of men soar into the pure air
of unselfish devotion to the public
welfare. 1t lighted with a smile the
cheek of Curtius as he rode into the
gulf; 1t guided the hand of Aristides
as he sadly wrote upon the shell the
sentence of -hisy own Punishment; it
dwelt in the frozen earthworks of Val
ley Forge; and from time to time it
has been an inmate of the halls Of

"Darby and Joan" was first applied
to a very happily married couple who
lived in the Eighteenth century and
bore those names. They were John
Darby, printer, of Bartholomew's
Close, London, England, and his wife,
Joan. The constancy and devotion to
one another of this old-fashioned, SIM
pie, and virtuous couple so impressed
Henry Woodfall, who had served his
apprenticeship with the printer, that
he wrote poem, "Darby and JOAN"
in commemoration. This poem was
printed in the London Gentleman's
Magazine, and received good deal of
notice. The expression then passed
into the English language as symbolic
ing the eventide of happy wedlock.

Rin Demand for Radium.

The principal use for radium in the
commercial world is as a luminous
material on watch and clock dials and
so on. 1t is not the radium that glows,
but other substances which become
Iuniin0ds in the presence of very mi
mute quantities of radium. More than
four million watches and clocks alone
have been treated, and hardly a third
of an ounce of radium has been used
in the production of the luminous ma
terial required.
