Martha Washington at Valley Forge-
The part which Martha Washington
played at Valley Forge has, indeed,
seldom received the credit which it
deserves as an example of the virtues
of the women of the Revolution.
No soldier’s wife was more faithful
to her husband in the midst of bis
perils and hardships than simple
hearted Martha Washington one of
the richest women of the colonies. Sbe
visited tbe sick and suffering in their
huts ; sbe braved the danger l of the
smallpox; she patched trousers, knit
ted socks and made shirts for the men
and bis 'dear Patsy,’ a’s the big General
used to call bis plump and pleasant
wife, kept the ladies of the camp
busy when they called on her at the
stone house, sewing for tbe soldiers.—

PRECIOUS METALS.
Gold nnd Platinum Are Cheap Com
par rd With Some of Them.
“The majority of people when asked
■to name the most precious metals usu
ally mention gold as first, platinum as
I second and silver as third, ” said the
1i proprietor of a large assaying and refin
ing establishment to the writer recently.
“Now, let us see how near the truth
I they would be. Gold is worth about
*250 per pound troy, platinum $l3O,
and silver about *l2.
“We will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and less well
known metals. To take them in alpha
betical order barium, the metal which
Davy isolated from its ore, baryta, in
1808, sells for *950 a pound when it is
sold at all, and calcium is worth *I,BOO
a pound. Oirium is a shade higher. Its
cost is *l6O an ounce, or *1,020 per
pound. These begin to look like fabu
lous prices, but they do not reach the 1
highest point, chromium being *2!Kk
Cobalt falls to about half the price of
silver, while didymium, the metal iso
lated by Masander, is the same price
as calcium. Then comes gallium, which
is worth *3,250 an ounce. With this
metal the highest price is reached, and
it may well be called the rarest and
most precious of metals.
“Glucium is worth *250 per ounce;
indium, *150; iridium, *658 a pound;
janthaniura, *175, and lithium, *l6O
per ounce. Nidium costs *l2B per ounce;
osmium, palladium, platinum, potas
sium and rhodium bring respectively
*640, *4OO, *l3O, *32 and *512 per
pound. Strontium costs *l2B an ounce;
tantaum, *144; tilurium, *9; thorium,
*272; vanadium, *320; yttorium, *144,
and zinconium, *250 an ounce.
“Thus we see that the commonly re
ceived opinion as to what are the most
precious metals is quite erroneous. Ba
rium is nearly four times as valuable as
gold and gallium more than 160 times
as costly, while many of the other met
als mentioned are twice and thrice as
valuable. Aluminium, which cost *8
and *9 a pound in 1890, is now pro
duced as cheaply as are iron, zinc, lead
and copper.”—Washington Star.
DELAUNAY’S SAD FATE.
A Pre»entlment of His Death That
Was Strancely Fulfilled.
Delaunay, the director of the Paris
observatory, was one of the most kindly
and attractive men I ever met, says
Professor Simon Newcomb in The At
lantic. I found it hopeless to expect
that he would ever visit America, be
cause he assured me that he did not
dare to venture on the ocean. The only
voyage he had ever made was across the
channel to receive a gold medal -Of the
Royal Astronomical society for his
work.
Two of his relatives, his father, and,
I believe, his brother, had been drown
ed, and, this fact gave him a horror of
the water. He seemed to feel somewhat
as the clients of the astrologists, who,
having been told how they were to die,
took every precaution to prevent it. I
remember, as a boy, reading a history of
astrology, in which a great many cases
of this sort were described, the pecu
liarity being that the very measures
which the victim took to avoid the de
cree of fate became the engines that ex
ecuted it.'j.
Tho sad fate of Delaunay was not ex
actly a case of this kind, yet it could
not but bring it to mind. He was at
Cherbourg in the autumn of 1872.
Walking on the shore with a relative,
a couple of boatmen invited them to
take a sail. Through what inducement
Delaunay was led to forget his fears
will never bo known. All we know is
that he ventured into the boat, that it
was struck by a sudden squall when at
some distance from the land, and that
all the members of the party were
drowned.
Crows.
There is some reason for calling an
owl the bird of wisdom, and yet there
is cause for wondering if the crow is
not mentally his superior. Crows are
not disheartened by the late
autumn. If the fog is too dense to fly
through it, they rise above it or trot
about the ground, discussing the situa
tion with their fellows. Is this speak
ing too positively? I have long been
familiar with an observing man who
has lived all his days within sight and
hearing of crows. He claims to under
stand their language and can repeat the
“words” that make up their vocabulary.
Certainly crows seem to talk, but do
they? Does a certain sound made by
them have always the one significance?
Year after year I have listened and
watched, watched and listened, and
wondered if my friend was right. He
belies it. I believe it—almost. Are
there limitations to ornithological in
terpretation? And is this an instance
where truth is unattainable?—Lippin
cott’s.
Hard on the IloporterH.
“I had a strange dream the other
night,” said the major.
“What was it?” asked the young
thing.
“I went to heaven, and as an old
newspaper man was interested in their
journal up there. It was a miserable
thing; not a well written story in it,
and I told St. Peter so.”
“What did he say?”
“He said: ‘lt’s not our fault We
never get any good reporters up here. ’ ”

“Made In Georgia”
There is in Gsrmany a law which
provides that all manufactured pro
ducts shipped out of that country
shall bear the imprint, “Made iu Gsr«
many.” The legend serves a two fold
purpose ; it advertises German wares,
and it inspires the makers and ship
pers of them to see to it that a high
standard of merit is maintained If
inferior articles were sold with the
imprint, it would soon be detrimental
to the export business, says the Sa
vannah News.
Georgia is rapidly becoming a man
ufacturing state, in various lines. It
might not be a bad idea for the Geota
gia manufacturers to copy the Ger-,
mans to the extent of branding their
wares, “Made in Georgia.” We con
fidently believe that those articles
which are made in Georgia ate of
superior excellence. Take Georgia
syrup for instance, There is nothing
in the world of the kind that is finer
in flavor, and more wholesome to the
consumer. It is “sweeter than honey
in the honeycomb,” according to an
expert in saccharine articles. Maple
syrup is nut more palatable or more
heatlhful ; nevertheless the Georgia
article is sold for about half the price
of the maple syrup.
The reason is that Georgia syrup is
not widely enough known. Makers
are content to supply a limited market
under the ordinary brand “cane syr
up,” or just plain “syrup” without any
qualification whatever. If the merits
of the delectable article were more
widely known,and each genuine pack
age of it carried the legend, “Made in
Georgia,” the demand would shortly
bs much extended and the price im
proved.
Georgia syrup, however, is only one
item. Take textile fabrics. Tbe mills
of Georgia are new. They are filled
with modern machinery. Tbe goods
they turn out are, therefore, products
of the latest improved apparatus. Nat
urally, they are of better grade than
goods made on the old and inferior
machines. “Made in Georgia” stamp
ed on sheetings, shirtings and drills
would attract the attention of purchas
ers to tbe localities of the mills, and
one satisfactory order would be follow
ed by others. Purchasers would insist
on having the “Made in Georgia” kind.
Tbe sentence would become a trade
mark, signifying that articles bearing
it were of highest grade, and Georgia
manufacturers, for their pecuniary in
ternets and as a matter of state pride,
would see to it that qualities were al
ways kept up to the standard.
