Oi: Diplomatic ‘Notes.
No one can say exactly why our sec-
retaries of state sign diplomatic com-
munications with their surnames only,
except that it has always been so... We
copied the custom from European chan-
celleries, and it probably has its origin
in the habit of royalty, which is to
sign with one name only.. Thus King
George of England. signs * himself
“George, R. I.” (Rex, Imperator- King,
Emperor); Sir Edward Grey signed al-
ways as ‘‘Grey;" the democratic Mr,
Bryan when secretary of state affixed
his, signature to diplomatic notes as
“Bryan.” At first sight there seems to
be a profound flattery implied in the
custom. It assumes that the signer
caunet Le mistaken; that there is only
one “George.” and “Grey,” one *“Bry-
an.” And generally there is only one
in the diplematic world where these
exchanges take place.—New York Sun.

Many Uses For Sawdust.
Sawdust is valuable. It can be used
for almost anything except food. Used
as an absorbent. for nitroglycerin it
produces dynamite. Used with clay
and burned it produces a terra cotta
brick full of small cavities that, owing
to its lightness and its properties as X
a nonconductor. makes excellent fire-
proof material for walls or floors.
Treating it with fused caustic alkali
produces oxalic acid. "Treating it with
sulphuric acid and fermenting it with
the sugar so formed produces alcohol.
Mixed with a suitable binder and com-
pressed it can be used for making
moldings and imitation carvings. If
mixed with portland cement it pis

Do You Like Horehound?

In Egypt the plant was called “bull's

one of those many plants that in those
days were eaten to protect the person
from poison.
