the object for which it is intended, the
saw being guided by an ingenious ar
rangement of little wooden directors.
Much care is taken in this process of
''sawing up" for great economy can, by
rigid supervision, be effected, one manu-
facturer stating that by very simple
arrangement he was able to make his
raw material go fifth further than any
of his rivals. The little fragments are
then delivered to workmen, who, with
the aid of small grindstones driven by
foot treadle, take off the angular
portions and reduce them more nearly
to the required dimensions. They then
pass into the hands of the carvers who,
with knives, small chiseis, and gouges,
soon, if it be rough work only, cut
them into the desired pattern. If the
work, however, be really artistic, the
carving is of course much more
artistic process; and itiis curious to see
lads and men, who one might fairly
think had not the slightest knowledge
in the world of art principles, cut deftly
and rapidly canoes that in their beauty
of profile resemble the old masterpieces;
flower scrolls and groups of fruit that
have a marvellous fidelity to Nature
herself; and crucifxes and pendants
that rival all the ingenuity and patience
of the s'heathen Chinee." Sometimes
you notice them with pattern placed
before them, or with a rough design
scratched by kni,e's point upon the
material itself-oftenest, however, it
would seem as though the work were
altogether original
After being carved. the goods are
removed to the polishing loom, where
the first process, in the case of rorgh
goods, again takes place, upon treadle
grindstone fed with oil and 'rotten-
stone" Then the finish and the polish
are given by what is termed "rougeing."
Here the articles are held against
quickly revolving wheels, covered with
chamois leather for the larger portions
and with strips of list for the indented
parts of the pattern, the beautiful pol
ish being given by means of compost
ton of a red pigment and oil. They
are then set (the settings all coming
from Birmingham) and taken to the
warehouse, where they are carded, or
strung if necessary, and priced and
packed by young women, being then
stored for the inspection of the buyers.

How the Ancients Lighted their
Houses.

The ancients knew no method OF re-
sining oil. As great luxury they mixed
il with perfumes, such as essence OF
roses and sandal wood but this rather
detracted from than added to the burn
ing properties of the liquid, and all that
was obtained by the process was an
increase of fragrance and diminution
of light. The dwellings of wealthy
men, who expended extravagant sums
upon scented oils, would not have borne
comparison, in point of lighting, with
the grimiest tap-room of a gas-ht public
house. The gold and silver lamps,
hung by slender, well-wrought chains
to marble pilasters, only yielded at their
best a lurid, tampering flame, that gave
out an enormous deal of smoke, futter-
ing in the slight breeze, and went out
altogether at gust of wind. Neither
was it possible to steady the light by
closing the apertures through which the
air came, for had Roman or Grecian
houses been possessed of glass windows,
they would have soon become uninhab-
table. The fresco paintings of Pom
peiian villas, the delicate colors on the
walls of urban palaces would, in less
than a month, have been hopelessly
coated with lamp SCOT. At the end OF
an hours conference OF an evening, a
party of noble Romans would have re-
sembled a congregation of chimney
sweeps, A tunic dyed in Tyrian purple
would have acquired a mourning hue
in no time.

Miscellany.
A. T. Stewards Elephant.

A. L. Stewart great charitable project
"a home for the working women of New
York, is likely to become an elephant
on his hands. The building which was
intended as the future Home three years
ago is almost complete, but it is thought
doubtful whether it is to be used for
what it was originally designed. Mr..
Stewards intention was to make it a
kind of hotel exclusively for single and
widowed working women, where they
could live cheaply and comfortably.
Since the erection was begun, however,
serious doubts have been entertained
as to whether Mr.. Stewards plan is
feasible. 1t is said that his advisers
consider it impossible to establish a
Home such as he proposes, as it would
require superhuman efforts to enforce
the regulations necessary for the thou
sand and more women who would occupy
the building.
The structure is in Fourth avenue,
between Thirty y-second and Thirty third
streets, on what was for many years the
site of the Harlem Railroad locomotive
depot. 1t covers one half block, and
stands on the slope from Murray Hill.
Mr.. Stewart has spent nearly three
million dollars in its erection exclusive
of what he paid for the lot. 1t is mag
niticent structure. and resembles Booth S
Theatre in its architecture, only it is
very much larger. Work was begun on
it after May 8, 1869, the date on which
the architects plans were filed with the
Department of Buildings. 1t is 205
feet front on Fourth avenue, and 1876
feet 6 inches on Thirty-second and
Thirty-third streets. 1t towers in height
above every building north of Four
teenth street. From the pavement to
the roof the distance is 102 feet. The
depth of the foundation is about Is
feet.
The base stories are six to eight feet
wide, and are laid in cement. Its walls
are of great thickness, and are fire
proof. There are from three to six feet
of brick in the foundation walls. The
cornices are supported by eight iron
columns. which make the front very
strong. The floor beams are nine and
twelve inches thick. Under them are
iron girders supported by iron columns.
The roof is a mansard, made of brick
and asphaltum. The walls are coped
with blue stone. The mansard is tower
shaped on each of the four corners.
There is also tower in the centre on
the facade side.
1t is six stories high, or seven includ-
ing the mansard. The first tier or floor
lis nineteen feet six inches from floor to
ceiling, and the upper twelve feet six
inches. A patent elevator extends to
tine roof. There are about 800 corridors
and /, 400 rooms. The middle of the
site is a court yard.-Ne,O York Sun.

Maids and MistresscS.

1t should be plain enough that ex-
amples are as much to servants as to
children since in manners and social
training servants are as children. The
peasant-girl reared in an Irish cabin or
German cottage can hardly be expected
to be a model of politeness or of personal
neatness. 1t is quite possible, however,
to teach her by example alone. If the
mistress be courteous to every member
of her family, and they in turn to her,
the maid soon feels the atmosphere of
good breeding, and unconsciously be-
comes amiable and respectful. But
let the mistress speak sharply to her
husband, or scOld the children in public,
or let the master constantly find fault
in the presence of the servant, and she
will shortly discover that courtesy is
not one of the essentials of the estab-
Iishment. and will, most likely, add
black looks and uncivil words to the
general disharmony. Servants being
initiative, there is more reason that the
conduct of employers is worthy of imi-
tation. II the mistress of house be
careful of her dress, her speech, her
daily habits, her handmade will, in all
probability, grow more careful of her
own. But the woman who comes to her
breakfast table with disheveled hair and
rumpled gown, has no right to find fault
with the maid for attending the door
bell in dirty calico and slovenly shoes.
Like mistress like maid, as we'll as like
master like man. Unless a good
example be set, there is no cause to
complain of servants for following a
bad one. As rule, they are ready to
learn, though they may be dull and
slow of comprehension. They would
rather improve their condition than de-
grade it. They would rather be ladies
than servants. Their ignorance makes
them mistake the false for the true, the
bad for the good. If every mistress
would take pains to set fair example
to her maids, and aid them, now and
then, by timely and delicate hints, she
would soon have servants who would be,
in fact, the help they are in name.-

Discrimination TO Marriage.

Concerning the cause of the trouble,
all sorts of philosophers agree. 1t is
the ambition for an expensive style OF
living which keeps young men and young
women from thinking of marrying until
they can reckon on sufficient income
to support 1t. Men who have thus post
poned matrimony to money-making,
find themselves when they have attained
middle age, in the possession of the
coveted wealth, perhaps, but disinclined
to marriage, confirmed in bachelorhood,
skeptical as to the virtues of women and
the general desirability of the welded
state. The hey-day of youth and the
spring of passion with them is over and
gone. The sweethearts of their youth
have grown old with them, and have
long ago drifted out of their lives.
They often conclude that having re-
mained single so long they will not
change their state. 1t is the old story.
In youth when they couldn't, they fain
would have welded, and in maturity
when they can, they no longer care to.
Or, what is worse than bachelorhood,
yielding to the suggestions of that deli
berate sensuality of mature years, so
different from the hot passion of youth,
they take to their bosoms some young
girl willing to sell herself for money,
and careless that she is utterly separated
from all sympathy with her husband by
a gulf of years. The costly habits OF
dress indulged in by American women
are often adverted to as discouraging
early marriages. This is also to be
set down to the peculiarly unrestricted
character of social ambition among us.
The European woman follows the stand
ard of her class in her dress. That
standard is pretty accurately adapted
to the average resources of members of
that class, and she does not exceed it
without exciting remark. In this coun-
try there is bnt one class, to which the
poorest as well as the richest belong.
There are accordingly no standards of
dress adapted to different grades of
income. The wife of the mechanic and
the wife of the millionaire follow but
one rule, and that is to dress as well as
they possibly can. This principle of
conduct makes wife an expensive
luxury for an American artisan or strug-
Cling professional man. Still, although
our fair country women certainly de-
serve mild talking to on this subject,
satirists and social reformers are often
much too hard upon them. 1t is useless
to charge the disfavor into which mar
riage has fallen among young people,
exclusively upon either sex. Both have
wholesome consciousness that it is a
thing they ought to be ashamed of, and
so are given to throwing the blame on
each other. But the truth is that both
sexes are perverted by common curse
of inordinate social ambition and un-
governed desire of fine living and the
luxury of wealth, passions, which, with
all the compensating blessings, demo-
cratic state of society unquestionably
tends to aggravate.-.Sprinafeld Union.

MefempsychOsis.

The gifted Sargent s. Prentiss once
gave asumptuous dinner to some friends
at hotel in Vicksburg. Early in the
evening a stranger entered the room by
mistake. Prentiss courteously invited
him to join the party. Before long the
strange guest began boasting of how
much he had drunk during the day
a cocktail here, smasher there, jalip
in this place, sling in that, and so on,
apparently without end. At length
Prentiss interrupted him:
''Sir," said he, ''do you believe in the
doctrine of metempsychosis p
81 don't know, was the reply, "and
I don't see that it has anything to do
with what we were talking about"
SIT has," rejoined Prentiss, much
much every way. l have firm faith
in that doctrine / believe that in the
next life every man will be transformed
into the thing for which he has best
qualified himself in this. In that life,
sir, you will become q corner grog-
gerry. Bench and Bar.

of the room were couches placed thickly
against the walls, and others were scat
tered over the apartment wherever there
was room for them. On each of these
lay extended the wreck of what was
once man. Some few were old-all
we're holloway with sunken cheeks
and .cadaverous countenances many
were clothed in rags, having probably
smoked away their last dollar while
others were offering to pawn their only
decent garment for an additional dose
of the deadly drug. A decrepit old man
raised himself as we entered, drew a
long sigh, and then with half-uttered
imprecation on his own folly proceeded
to refill his pipe. This he did by scrap
ing off, with a five-inch steel needle,
some opium from the lid of tiny shell
box, rolling the paste into pill, and
then, after heating it in the blaze of a
lamp, deposit it within the small aper-
ture of his pipe. Several short whiffs
followed then the smoker would re-
move the pipe from his mouth and lie
back motionless !; then replace the pipe,
and with fast-glazing eyes blow the
smoke slowly through his pallid nos
trils. As the narcotic effects of the
opium began to work he fell back on
the couch in state of silly stupefaction
that was alike pitiable and disgusting.
Another smoker, mere youth. lay with
face buried in his hands, and as he
lifted his head there was look of des-
pair such as 1 have seldom seen.
Though SO young, he was a complete
wreck, with hollow eyes, sunken chest,
and a nervous twitching in every mus
Gle. 1 spoke to him, and learned that
six months before he had lost his whole
patrimony by gambling, and came
hither to quaff forgetfulness from these
Lethean cups hoping, he said, to find
death as well as oblivion. By far the
larger proportion of the smokers were
so entirely under the influence of the
stupefying poison as to preclude any
attempt at conversation, and we passed
out from this moral pest house sick at
heart as we thought of these infatuated
victims of self-indulgence and their
starving families at home. This bane-
full habit, once formed, is seldom given
up, and. from three to five years indul-
gence will utterly wreck the firmest
constitution, the frame becoming daily
more emaciated, the eyes more sunken,
and the countenance more cadaverous,
till the brain ceases to perform its func-
tions, and death places its seal on the
wasted life.-LippincOtts Magazine.

A Lady's Seat on Horseback.

A lady's horse, to be perfect, should
be all over handsome, and well up on
its launches. If slightly hollow in the
back, so much the better, for it gene
rally tends to ease in action, and to less
motion to the saddle. A lady should
never be heard upon the saddle-that
is, there should be no humping noise,
not even in trot. She should sit so
closely, and, when rising to the trot,
possess such elastic motion from the
foot to the knee and the waist that her
return to the saddle should seem as
light as a feather. She should sit
"square to the 'front.'" and her horses
ear to speak as a soldier ought to
dress well with the buttons on the
bosom of her habit. Nothing is SO bad
as to sit with lean to one side, and,
when admirers are following after, to
let them fear that very little would
cast her off from the stirrup side Of her
saddle. Her hands should be down,
but light, and her arm, as well as every
inclination of her figure, should har-
monize with the motions of her steed,
as if both possessed the same volition.
