Grand Duke's playful Way. The Grand Duke Nicholas is not a man who talks, but ho has a playful way with him at times, according to the story told by Julius West in of the Czar" Some time ago, during an inspection, the grand duke was standing next to the emperor, a few yards away from a group of gen-ocals. He ordered General Russky, then in command of the forces in that region, to step forward. The grand duke next ordered a private soldier to come forward and hack off the gen- eral's epaulettes. "Wo can Imagine," says Mr, West, "the dismay of the other generals as the soldier obeyed.

'Now cut mine was the next order. The soldier did so.

The London markets and stalls are covered with dates which come from the Garden of Eden. A palm tree yields approximately 400 pounds of fruit annually, which represents an income Of about 8. It takes nearly eight years to attain this state of perfection, but when once reached, it continues for almost a century. 1 Dates can bo prepared In many I ways, and are packed according to thp country to which they are being sent. For instance, dates destined, fo 1 America aro hand-picked, as the Amer-.

Each of 'the General's enormous mills is advantageously located to serve the ends of efficient manufacture and quick distribution. Each is equipped with the most up-to-date machinery. Raw materials are purchased in enormous quantities and far ahead of the needs of manufacturing, thus guarding against increased cost due to idle machinery.

This also insures favorable buying, and the pick of the market.

CERTAIN-TEED resists the drying-out process so destructive ordinary roofing, because the felt is thoroughly saturated with a Wnd of soft asphalts, prepared under the formula of the General's koardiof expert chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the inner saturation soft. This makes a roofing more pliable, and mbre impervious to the elements than the harder, drier kind.

CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles. There is a type of CERTAIN- glfr-n TEED for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scraper to the smallest residence or out-building.
