The Last Man.

There is one man IN the procession,
however, who does not possess these at
tribut es. he is the last man. 1t is
said that there must be a last man to
eyerv procession but il must always
be so until some mode is discovered of
making up the procession in a circle,
and then giving it motion like a rotary
shell. turning its own axis and going
STRAIGHT ahead also. The last man Is 3
weary. worn, pathetic creature, who
looks as If life was burden to him.
He is q rusty, seedy, biped, without any
good clothes. No stars blaze on his
breast. No banner shields him from
the fiery sun. His ear never hears the
inspiring notes of the band. He catches
all the dust of the procession. Bystand
ers rush IN front Of him with inpunity.
He has no pride at all. There Is no
pomp about him-no majesty of mein.
He always looks sick, tired, disheveled
and foriorn. Small boys jeer at him.
'Rus drivers contcmptuously order him
ont os the way. Reckless young men
make desperate efforts to drive over him.
He gets mixed up among newsboys,
bootblacks. yellow dogs, advertising
wagons. fan-sellers, drays and frantic
women rushing after erratic children,
and loses the procession and by the
time he regains It hs is a poor harI sssed.
detected man and brother, and an OBJ
iect of universal pity. The chances are
that If he does not 60 OF with sun
stroke. or get run over by an ice cart
and have to be taken home IN an express
wagon. he viii, as the result of his pa
thetic situation, get drunk with remark
able dispatch before sunset. So long
as there must be a last man IN every
Drooession there should be some com
peusation. He should be made attract
i've. Let him be handsomely decorated

How Statues are Made.

The bronze statuary just now so pop
ular is manufactured by a simple
enough process. Over the clay model
is poured q coating Of plaster Of Paris
which, having been allowed to set, Is
taken off in sections, thus affording q
hollow mould Of the figure. From
such q mould is produced q stucco du-
plicate, either in the entire statue or Of
such a portion thereof as Is intended to
be cast ct time, and on this again is
formed a second mould Of greater thick
ness and solidity for the reception Of
molten metal. The material used fOr
the final mould is a composition OF
stucco and brick dust. This Is applied
in a plastic state to the stucco model,
from which It's inner surface takes the
form OF the figure. We're statues cast
solid, it would now only be necessary
to separate mould from model, and run
melai into the former till its interior
was filed. This, however, would in-
vcive absurd waste. nnd IN order TO
economize material a solid core IL placed
inside the mould, leaviDg only such
space all round as will zeoeiye the thick
nessea OF metal deemed necessary for
the work IN hand. The mould with its
core having been thus completed and
firmly hooped round with bands Of iron,
il placed IN a kiln to bake 70 perfect
dryness. This precaution is necessary
/ from the circumstance that even q
/ trsee of moisture might on the appliez-
/ ton Of molten metal occasion danger
| Gus explosion In the case Of the cast
/ ing now in question the drying Of the
mould occupies some weeks. On the
removal from the kiln the mould is
/ buried in dry earth below tho floor Of
/ the foundry, only the aperture for re-
| ceivihg the metal and the vent-hole foI
the escape Of air remaining visible.

A Novel Way to Prevent Drunkenness.

In Sweden a peculiar plan has been
adopted by the friends of temperance
for preventing the evils resulting from
an excessive use of intoxicating liquors.
The authorities of GotteL burg in 1865,
began movement which afterward ex-
tended throughout the kingdom, and is
said to have been attended with the
most beneficial results. 1t was based
on two ideas, first, no single individual
out TO be permitted to derive any gain
from the sale of spirits and second,
that spirits ought not to be drank with
out the accompanying consumption of
solid food The method adopted to
carry ont these views is this An in
corporated company in each town, con-
sisting of the most respected members
of the community, takes the entire re-
tail liquor traffic under its supervision,
selling at costssafter deducting d margin
for leakage and breakage. The persons
put in charge of the places where
liquor is sold are paid salaries by the
company. The expenses paid includ-
ing the current rate of interest for the
capital invested, all profits are paid into
the town treasury. Of course where
liquor is sold at cost no profits can
accrue from that trade but each public
house is allowed to sell at profit food,
tobacco and Misunderstanding drinks, and
what is an important part of the plan,
every place where liquor IS sold Is
bound to supply wholesome cooked
food at all times during business hours.
The result of this system has been q
| great decrease in drunkenness. 1t may
seem singular that making drinks cheap
should lead temperance, but the secret
/ of the business is very simple. In the
first place habitual drinkers of small
means being able to satisfy their erav-
ings for liquor very cheaply, are, there
fore, enabled to buy nOurishiBg food
without depriving themselves Of alco-
holic stimulants, which to them is the
first necessity, the food being always
