At tho ago of 28 days, the same product has tested 780 pounds. An inch cube briquette, con sisting of one-fourth cement and three fourths sand, tested 280 pounds in seven days and 392 pounds in four weeks. These tests are regarded re markable, from the fact that no cement in the world, not excepting the foreign manufactured product, will excel this record.

The final moments of the fair Were as dramatic as its beginning on June 1, when 40,000 people gathered at the natural amphitheater and waited for President Taft's signal. The last day had been devoted to saying good-bye. Tho sun shone bright, the flowers were never more beautiful, and the whole ex position looked as new and fresh as on tho day of the opening.

' The Redemption 1 fldVid (Jorsoft By CHARLES FREDERIC Q0S3 Copyright, 1900, by The Bowen-MarrlU Company. E announce lasting lesson. The story and uneventful that when a traveling mountebank and his beautiful assistant, Pepeeta, visit the town, the glare and glamour of tinsel and excitement lead David to turn his bach on the old life and plunge Into the wide world he had only read about previously. David is entranced by the beauty of the peerless girl: He is led into a mad whirl of pleasure by the mountebank. Finally, he induces Pepeeta to desert her husband and flee with him! A rivivalist brings David back to a sense of his misspent life. It is a marvelous life study. Everybody should read it. CHAPTER I. Hidden away In this worn and care encumbered world are spots so quiet and beautiful as to make the fall of man seem incredible, and awaken in the breast of the weary traveler who comes suddenly upon them, a vague nnd dear delusion that he has stum bled Into Paradise. Such an Eden existed In the extreme western part of Ohio In the sprlng,of 1849. It was a valley surrounded by wooded hills and threaded by a noisy brook which hastily made its way, as If upon some errand of immense im portance, down to the big Miami not many miles distant A road cut through a vast and solemn forest led Into the valley, and entering aa if bv a corridor and through the open portal of a temple, the traveler eaw -a white farm-house nestling beneath a mighty hackberry tree whose wide-reaching arms sheltered ft from summer mm and winter wind. A deep, wide lawn of bluegrass lay In front, and a garden of flowers, fragrant and brilliant, on Its southern aide. Stretching away In to the background was the farm newly carved out of the wilderness, but al ready in a high state of cultivation. in this lovely valley, at the olose of long, odorous, sun-drenched dav In early May, the sacred silence wan hro. ken by a raucous blast from that most unmusical of instruments, a tin dinner horn. It was blown by a bare-legged country Doy wno seemed to take de light in this profanation. By his side. In the vine-clad porch of the white rarm-nouse stood a woman who shad- ea ner eyes with her hand as she look, ed toward a vague object in a diatant meaaow. she was no longer young. As the light of. the setting sun fell full upon her race it seemed almost trans parent, and even the unobservln? mnt have perceived that some deep experi ence of the sadness of life had added to her character an indescribable cnarm. Thee will have to go and call him Stephen, for I think he has fallen Into another trance," the woman said, in a iow voice m wnicn there was not a trace or impatience. ine cniio. mrew down hla dinnar norn, whistled to his dog and started. Springing up from where he had been watching every expression of his mas ter's face, the shaggy collie boundod around him as he moved across . the lawn, while the woman watched them wun a proud and happy smile. unutterable and incomorehenslhiA emotions were awakened' In the soul of the boy by the stillness and bemitv of the evening world. His senses were not yet dulled nor his feellnKs laded. Through every avenue of his Intelli gence the mystery of the universe stole into his sensitive spirit . If a ureeie piew across the meadow he turnea nis cneeK to its kiss: if tho odor of spearmint from the brookslde was watiea around him he breathed It Into his nostrils with delight. w saw the shadow of a crow flying across tne neia ana stopped to look un nd listen for the swish of her wings and her loud, hoarse caw aa she made her way to the nesting grounds; then he gased beyond her, Into the fathomio.. depths of the blue sky. and his soul was stirrea witn an indescribable awe. bui it was not so much the obieo. themselves aa the spirit pervading them, which stirred the depths of tho child's mind. The little pantheist saw Qod everywhere. We bestow the gift of language upon it child, but the reel ings which that language serves only to Interpret and express exist and glow within him even ir he be dumb. And this gift of language la often of ques tionable value, and had been so with him. AU that he felt filled him with love. To him the valley was heaven, and through it invisibly but unmistak ably Ood walked. ' morning.' noon and evening. To the child sauntering dreamily and wistfully along, the object dimly seen from the farm-house door began grad ually to dissolve itself Into a groun of living being. Two horses ware at tached to a plow; one standing in tho lush grass or the meadow, and the oth er In a deep furrow traced across Its surface. The plowshare was burled deep In the rich, alluvial aoU. and a AU Rlrhu RtMTTtd with a great deal of pleasure a serial that is somewhat exceptional, even in these days of active fiction. It is a story of unusual power, of wonderful pathos and yet dealing with practical, every-day life in a way that stirs the soul and teaches a begins with a description of the home and life of David Corson, a young Quaker, whose career has been so peaceful ribbon of earth rolled from its blade like a petrified sea billow, crested with a duster of daisies white as the foam of a wave. Between the handles of the plow and leaning on the crossbar, his back to the horses, stood a young Quaker. His broad-brimmed hat set carelessly on the baok or hla head, disclosed a wide, high forehead; his flannel shirt open at the throat exposed a strong, colum nar neck, and a deep, broad chest; his sunburned and muscular arms were folded across his breast; figure and posture revealed the perfect conoord of body and soul with the beauty of the world; his great blue eyes were flxed upon the notch In the hills where the sun had Just disappeared; he gazed without seeing and relt without think ing. The boy approaohed this statuesque figure with a stealthy tread, and pluck ing a long spear or grass tickled the bronzed neck. The hand or the plow man moved automatically upward as ir to brush away a fly, and at this un conscious action the child, seised by a convulsion or laughter and rearing lest it explode, stuffed his fists Into his mouth. In the opinion or this ir reverent young skeptlo his Uncle Dave was in a "tantrum" instead or a "trance," and he thought such a dis ease demanded heroic treatment. For several years this Quaker youth David Corson, had been the subject or remarkable emotional experiences, in explanation or which the rude wits or the village declared that he had been moon-struck; the young girls who adored his beauty thought he was in love, and the venerable fathers and mothers or this religious community believed that, in him the scriptural prophecy, "Your young men shall see visions," had been literally rulfllled. David Corson himseir accepted the last explanation with unquestioning ralth. The life or this young man had been pure and uneventftil. Existence in thla rrontler region, once rull of the trageay or Indian warfare, had been gradually softened by peace and relig ion. In such a sequestered region books and papers were scarce, and he had access only to a few volumes writ ten by quietlsts and mystics, and to mat great mine or sacred literature the Holy Bible. The seeds of kni ' edge sown by these books In the rich ot mis young neart were fertil ised by the socHty of noble men. vir tuous women, and natural surround ings or exquisite beauty. None or these reflections disturbed the mind or the barefooted boy. Hav ing suppressed his laughter, he tickled the sunburnt neck again,- Once more the hand rose automatically, and once more the boy was almost strangled with delight The dreamer was hard to awaken, but his tormentor had not yet exhausted his resources. No gen uine boy Is ever without that funda mental necessity or childhood, a pin, and finding one somewhere about his clothing, he thrust It Into the leg of the plowman. .The sudden sting brought the soaring saint from heaven to earth. In an instant the mystio was a man, and a strong one, too. He seised the unsanctlfled young repro bate with one hand and hoisted him t arm's length above his head. - Oh. Uncle Dave. I'll never do it again! Never! Neverl Let me down.- mm noiaing mm aloft aa a hunter would hold a raloon, the reincarnated "spirit" laughed long, loud and mer rily, the echoes or his laughter ringing up the valley like a peal from ,im. or bells. The child's rear was needless; for the heart and hands that dealt with him were as gentle aa a woman's. The youth, resembling some "old Norse god as he stood there in the gathering gloom, lowered the child slowly, end printing a ktss on hla cheek, said Thee lttUe peet thee has no rtv. ence! Thee should never disturb a ehlld at his play, a bird on hla nest nor a man at his prayers." "But thee was not praylna-. Unei Dave," the boy replied. Thee was only la another of thy tantrums. The supper has grown cold, the horses are tired and Shep and I have walked a mile to call thee. Grandmother said thee had a trance. Tell me what the In thy visions.'. Uncle Devef , "Qod and His angels," said the mint mystio softly, railing again Into the mood from which he had been so rude ly awakened. "Angels!" scoffed the young mate rialist "If thee was thinking or any angel at all, I will bet thee it was Dor othy Fraaer." ' ' "Tush, child, do not be silly," replied the convloted culprit For it was easier than he would care to admit to mingle visions or beauty with those or holi ness. "I am not silly. Thee would not dare say thee was not thinking or her. She thinks of thee." "How does thee know?" . "Because she gives me bread and Jam if I so much as mention thy name. Uncle Dave, was it really up this very valley that Mad Anthony Wayne marched with hla brave soldiers?" "This very valley." -."I wish I could have been with him." "It Is an evU wish. Thee is a child or peace. Thy rather and thy father's fathers have dented the right or men to war. Thee ought to be like them, and love the things that make for peace." "Well, if I can not wish for war, I will wish that a runaway slave would dash up this valley with a pack of bloodhounds at his heels. Oh, Uncle Dave, tell me that story about thy hid ing a negro In the haystack, and chok ing the bloodhounds with thine own hands." "I have told thee a hundred times." "But I want to hear It again." "Use thy memory and thy imagina tion." The child, bounding forward, the tired procession entered the barnyard. The plowman fed his horses, and stop ped to listen for a moment to their deep-drawn sighs of contentment, and to the musical grinding or the oats In their teeth. His Imaginative mind read hla own thoughts into everything, and he believed that he could distinguish in these lnartioulate sounds the words, Good-night Good-night" -"Good-night," he said, and stroking their great flanks 'with his kind hand, left them to their well-earned repose. On his way to the house he stopped to bathe his face In the waters or a spring brook that ran across the yard, and then entered the kitchen where supper was spread. "Thee Is late," said the woman who had watched and waited, her fine face radiant with a smile of love and wel come. "Forgive me, mother," he replied.- "1 have had another vision." , "I thought as much. Thee must re member what thee has seen, my son," she said, "for all that thee beholds with the outer eye shall pass away, while what thee sees with the inner eye abides forever. And had thee a mssage, too?" "It was delivered to me that on the holy Sabbath day I should go to the camp in Baxter's clearing and preach to the lumbermen." "Then thee must go, my son" "I will," he anewered, taking her hand affectionately, but with Quaker restraint and leading her to the table. The family, consisting or the mother. an adopted daughter Dorothea,'- the daughter's husband Jacob " and son Stephen, sat down to a simple but bountiful supper, during which and late into the evening the young mys tio pondered the vision which he be hoved himself to have seen, and the iusoHgo wmuu no ooiievea nimsii to have heard. In his musings there was not a tremor or a doubt; he would have as soon questioned the reality or the old farm-house and the faces of the family gathered about the table. He was a credulous and unsophisti cated youth, dwelling In i realm of Imagination rather than in a world of reality and law. He had much to learn, Hla education was about to begin, and to begin as does all true and effective education, tn a spiritual temptation. The Ghebers say that when their great prophet Ahrlman was thrown into the fire by the order of Nlmrod, the flames Into which he fell turned Into a bed of roses, upon which he peacefully re clined. This Innocent Quaker youth had been reclining upon a bed or roses which now began to turn into a couch or flames. (To be continued.) Telllnar Cocoa from Chocolate. The consumer often wonders what is the difference between cocoa and chocolate. Both are manufactured from the identical bean, but In cocoa the butter has been extracted and chocolate has other substances mixed with it. Cocoa is thus more easily di gested, but not so rich and alluring. The butter when extracted is sold to druggists for various purposes, chiefly that of a skin-food. The first process in the manufacture of chocolate or. cocoa is cracking tho bean, which is done by machinery and air. The blast of air blows the shells out, as they are lighter than the meat, and thus, after cracking, the separa tion of the fragile shell from the nutri tive nut Is absolute. The bean is roasted and ground Into a paste by hot machinery. This Is tho only "cooking" the chocolate gets. At this point the differentiation takes place between cocoa and choco late.
