ARTIFICIAL PUMIC2.
Natural Stone Is Unreliable Both ia
Grain and Hardness.
"While emery is used for sharfv
ening tools, sand for polishing
stones and glass, oxide of iron for
fine glass, and ehalk and felt for
metal ware, pumice is most fre
quently used for sharpening soft
materials. lMnnice stone is unre
liable, both in grain and hardness.
Variations have been noted even
in the same piece. This has sug
gested the idea of replacing it with
the artificial pumice, says the
Scientific American.
The factory of Schumacher, at
Tiietigheim, in the valley of the
Enz, has been manufacturing an
artificial pumice stone out of
ground sandstone and clay for
some time, and it is interesting to
note to what extent this manu
facturer has tried to adapt his
products to the various purposes
for which they are required.
There are on the whole ten kinds,
differing from each ot her in regard
to hardness and grain, viz.: There
is (1) a hard and soft kind with
coarse grain, particularly useful
in the leather, wax-cloth, felt and
wood industries; (2) a hard and
soft kind wilh medium coarse
grain, suited to stucco workers
and sculptors and particularly
useful for polishing wood before
it is painted; id) a soft, fine grain
ed stone for the white and dry
polish of wood and for tin goods;
i4» one of medium hardness with
fine grain, for giving tin* wood a
surface for an oil polish; (5) a
hard, fine-grained one for working
metals and stones, especially lith
ographic stones; and finally pum
ice stones with a very fine sand.
These artificial stones are used
in pretty much the same way as
those of volcanic origin. Forgiv
ing a smooth surface to wood, a
dry stone is applied, but to give a
fine polish the stone is dipped in
oil. For fine work no coarse
grained and for coarse work no
fine-grained stones are used.
Meteorites.
More than meteorites from
outer spare are seen in the Na
tional museum at Washington,
their range in weight being from
a few ounces to 0,000 pounds.
The monster one is roughened
from its surface, being melted by
friction with the earth’s atmos-i
phere. One weighing 1,400 pounds
is almost pure iron. Precious
metals are not found in these
aerial excursionists, but micro
scopic diamonds are sometimes
formed by combustion with tin*
earth's atmosphere. They are
made up from iron, nickel, sul
phur, carbon, phosphorus, oxy
gen, silicon, magnetism, alumin
um and calcium.

Affects Their Patients.
Army doctors lookout for good
news even more eagerly than the
general in command of the forces,
for they know that it makes the
difference between life and death
to many of their patients. Noth
ing hinders the recovery of the
wounded so much as depression
of spirits and anxiety. And when
they hear that ihings are going
badly at the front, main of them
who are on the turning point
grow worse and die. On the other 1
hand, the news of a great victory
will sometimes pull a man out of
the jaws of death.
A Camel’s Speed.
Seven miles an hour is the cam*
el’s utmost speed; nor can it main
tain this rate of speed over two
hours. Its usual rate of speed is
five miles an hour—a slow pace 1k*
yond which it is dangerous to
urge it. lest, as Asiatics any, it
might break its heart and die lit
erally on the spot.

PEOPLE WITH TEMPERS.
They Make Life Very Unpleasant for
Their Associates.
“I havo novor boon anything
hot tor than a yellow dog in my
own house,” remarked a husband
whose domestic woes go into
court, says the Now York Mail
and Express. The only fault with
his wife, ho said, was “her tem
per.” The casual phrase lias the
pieturesqueness and tine appro
priateness of vision. The man or
woman who has a thoroughly ill
natured spouse or is thrown into
constant and int imate intercourse
with a violent tempered compan
ion, leads a dog's life—a yellow
dog’s life. Other dogs may suffer
a martyrdom that is not without
dignity, but the yellow dog is do
spisod as well as persecuted. Ili*
sufferings are mitigated by no
balm of self-respect. In putting
up with injurious words and deeds
from those who are nearand more
or less dear to him a man is cut
ting a sorry figure in his own eyes
as well as iu the eyes of others.
There must be another "Taming
of the Shrew" if he would reha
bilitate himself.
The plain old English phrase,
“a bad disposition." is ihe fittest
fo describe a violent temper.
There is a touch of congenital bad
ness about it. something akin to
intermittent alcoholism or peri
odic vice. Even where it dis
charges itself in printable and
fairly decorous language, it car
ries with it t lie ugly markings and
associations of the bar rooms and
the stews. It is nol uncommon,
however, when the barriers of re
straint are broken down, for it to
have frank intercourse* to their
forms of expression. So a man
or a woman who has, as lifemate
or boon companion, one who in
minor provocation rips out with
injurious violence and derogatory
epithets, is in somewhat the same
predicament as one who is yoked
with a fellow whose past is not
without reproach, who has to be
‘‘allowed for" with one's self and
silently apologized for to others.
It is a species of degradat ion.
There are those who pride them
selveS on the possession of what
is called "a tine old temper.”
They are uncommonly easily
pleased. "Ill” nature and "bad”
temper the words exist as em
bodiments of the deliberateexpe
rience of mankind. They stand as
opinions of something morbid and
something vile. The institution
of the ducking school for scolds,
male and female, embodies anoth
er hearty judgment, which was
not abandoned w hen society abdi
eated the task of evicting the evil
one by forcible immersion and al
lowing the ducking stool to fall
into disuse. Its raison d'etre was
the belief that crossness was just
a form of perverse egotism, a sort
of childishness, of immaturity and
exaggerated self-love, that could

DRESS AND DISCOMFORT.
Men Swelter and Swear, But Make
Little or No Change.
Not the least of tlie drawbacks
of civilization is the character of
(‘lathing that civilized convention
requires the man jierson to wear
during tlie summer months. Wo
mankind usually dresses some
what sensibly, but even sin* finds
stays and like abominations a
j great burden in midsummer. One
never heard of savages sultering
l from heat prostration, nor do we
! get reports from country boys be
ing similarly affected.
Man, particularly if he be over
30, is disposed to be ultra-conser
vative in the matter of clothing.
He likes to wear one suit of cloth
ing four oi five months, and then
put on another and wear if a simi
lar length of time, and so on.
When the hot months come he
may make the concession of leav
inv otr his waistcoat, but that is
usually as far as he goes for street
wear. He will wear a somewhat
lighter suit of underwear in the
summer than in the winter, but
Ibis and the divested waistcoat
are practically tin* only different
iation made in the character of
clothing that is expected to serve J
l for the chill months of spring and
the roasting days of midsummer.
Stiff linen collars, heavy linen
cuffs, a coat and not infrequently
a stiff hat, are clung to like grim
death for the most ordinary street
wear, while if the occasion be any
sort of function men are as likely
as not to wear heavy frock coats,
waistcoats and a whole raft of un
necessary clothing.
When the “short waist” fad
came in a few years ago it looked
fora time as if men might give up
the foolishness of coats in mid
summer, but the few who were
bold enough to leave them olf
were laughed at, and whether it i
was the fear of ridicule or the
lack of pockets that determined
the question, the uncomfortable
fact remains that custom very
shortly returned to the deem*
that no man must appear in public
without a coat. And then he goes
on sweltering and swearing at the
weather.

The Mayfield Medicine Mfg. Co., St. Louis, Mo.
Dear Sirs : We consider it our duty to write you a few lines,
telling you what relief our child received by using Baby Elixir. Our
baby suffered all summer with summer complaint and teething. She
was under the doctor’s treatment two months, but she grew worse all
the time—was so poor and weak could scarcely walk. We were ad
vised to try McGee’s Baby Elixir, so we did, but without faith, at first.
After using one bottle she was improving, when we had used five bottles
she was completely cured ; she can now eat and digest anything. We
advise all parents to use Baby Elixir—that is guaranteed.
