THE ORESN MOUNTAIN'S HONKT COMBED WITH GUARKIEa The Largest Opening In the World Is In Vermont The Diamond Drill Revolutionized the Industry. Y GTXRMONT furnishes more than Y sixty per cent, of the marble Used .in the United States for building purposes,' and almost all that goes into graveyards and Tpnblio monuments, and the greater per cont. of the Vermont mar ble comes from Rutland County. The man who first discovered the possibili ties of the quarries in Rutland County traded an old horse for the property. The original owner had beoome dis gusted with the land, for nothing would grow on it, and he swapped a fortune for a decrepit nag which was dear at $15. The gold crane of '49 urged men to risk their lives and en dure the greatost hardships to find the yellow metal, and the marble craze in Vermont which followed the discovery of the rich deposits of pnre white marble oansed men to poor money into boles and sink fortunes in the gronnd. The Green Mountains are pock-marked with abandoned quarries, and the quest for the for tune which awaited a man at the bot tom of a rioh marble quarry sent prospectors into New Hampshire and all along the backbone of the Green Mountain State. Until the diamond drill was invented prospecting for marble was almost always a matter of 'guess-work. Bnt the faithfnl detective which bores its way into the earth's crust and brings back a piece of everything it touches placed marble-hunting in the list of exact sciences. The diamond drill is a cylinder of steel which has black diamonds fixed in the edge of its cut ting surface. The diamond-studdod cylinder is driven into the earth or outcropping stone, and as it twists its way farther into the crust it cuts ont a core which enables the prospector to judge of the quality of the marble, if the drill goes through marble, and the extent of the deposit. Sometimes, however, the enthusiastic prospector and his moneyed men who are back of the enterprise are sadly fooled by the diamond drill, for the drill might be bored in the direction of the layer and not through it. If the layer is thin, and the drill bored with the grain, the oore might indicate a thick deposit, and the truth would not be known until thousands of dollars had been spent in opening the quarry Over $100,000 has been expended in opening a quarry before a single dol lar s worth ol marketable stone was taken ont. When all the tests show that the marble is there, and enough of it to pay for the working, the top rock. usually of limestone, is first stripped off. -blasting powder and dynamite are employed in stripping the quarry, but the blasts are small, and the quarry men prooeed carefully, for if the powder should penetrate the marble it wonld do serious damage. When the top stone is cleared away and the top layer of marble is exposed, channeling machines similar to those which are at work in the rock ont of the sanitary canal are started. They are worked by steam or oompressed air, and they travel back and forth, cutting the marble into the widths required. Dometimes me aiamonu Dorer, or quick-acting diamond drill, is used to slice up the marble. It makes holes near together, the holes being eon nected by webs of marble. These borers revolve about 1500 times a minute and when the marble is not too hard work rapidly. When the channeling machines, or diamond borers, have cut the marble into slises the stone is cut away nt either end so that the quarryraen can get at the ' ol the layers that have een team-drills bore holes t the layer from t. i Iron or break the Italian stonecutters of this bad habit, but they persist (n hanging on to primitive methods and doing what has been done in the 500 quar ries in the mountains around Carrara ever since gunpowder was used for, quarrying purposes. The Carrari quarrymon literally takes his life in his hands in many of the qnarrios, for ho often is swung over the side of th marble preoipice and "chug-obngs" with his hand drill suspended in mid air. When this aorial qnarryman has drilled his holes and loaded thorn with blasting powder, he is pulled out of harm's way and the marble block, ripped from its lofty bed by the blast, tumbles down the mountain side, sometimes being shattered into frag ments, Chicago Record.

The "Royal is shown by all tests, official, scientific, and prac. tical, stronger, purer, and better in every wly than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority is privately acknowledged by other manufao1 turers, an I well known by all dealers. If some grocers try to sell another baking powder in place of the Royal," it is because of the greater profit This of itself is good evidence of the superiority of the " Royal." To give greater . profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. j LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off upon you any baking powder in place of the "Royal."

In his youth the future Minister was a poor student, bearing tno simple name ot Frere. lie had great difflonltv in earning enough money to keep him at the uni versity till he was ready to pass nia examination in the department of law. The young man fell in love with a Frauloin Urban, the daughter of a wealthy and aristocratio family, who opposed his suit- "If yon pass your examination well to-morrow," said Franlein Orban on the evA of the trial to bur lover, 'oome to tho theatre and to the box in which I shall be sitting with my parents." "Will they allow mo?" asked the student. "I shall see to that," was the de termined young woman's auswer. Fmre' was successful and entered the box in the evening happy but frightened. The pretty girl, as soon as he had crossed the threshold, stood np, rushed toward him before a word was spokon, and kissed him heartily on the lips. The astonished parent were soon informed of the significance of the kiss by the daughter. As many other people had seen the young girl's notion, the parents decided to make the best ot it and aooepted young Frere as a son-in-law on condition that he add Orban to his name. This he did as a matter of course and made it famous. New York Trivttne,' , .. AVitH 0e Mulf. With one mule Mr. V.
