Shall I stop keeping company with him, as I do not like i year, but I ran never marry this fel low as ho does not keep good com pany and is turning out to drink. A. Z. It isn't wise to go with anybody who doesn't keep good company, for, you place yourself in the same class as the company he keeps. Also, It means sure porrow to allow yourself to like anybody who doesn't know when to stop drinking. Show the world that you know a good man when you see him, and don't go with any other kind of a man.

Disease of Metals. Metals suffer from contagions dis eases analogous to those of living be ings. Among these diseases one of the most striking is that called "tin pest" Sometimes a block, a plate or medal of tin attacked by this disease crumbles and falls Into dust, and sometimes warty protuberances appear on the surface of the metal. Various other metals suffer from a disease that man ifests itself by a spontaneous recrys tallization. The most remarkable cases occur with lead and bard drawn brass. These diseases are not due. as has been thought, simply to moisture. Temperature plays a part In producing them. The most extraordinary fact perhaps is that the "tin pest" is capa ble of spreading by contagion. Har per's Weekly. Maybe a Little Aftar.
