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.— William Perrine, in the December La dies’ Home Journal.

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. ’ ” —Philadelphia Press. eafc _ , “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.
