THE annual report of the Salmon Falls
| (Vt.) Manufacturing Company shows a
loss during the year of $4,000, or per
cent. on the capital of 100000, and the
prospect for next year is even worse, as
some of the mills heretofore shut down
are to be started up to give employment
| to the operatives, who would otherwise
suffer during the coming winter. The

IT seems impossible for European man
ufacturers of Cashmere shawls to attain to
the perfection of the Oriental article, nor
is this to be wondered at when the fact is
considered that in the production of the
richest specimens of the latter scarcely a
quarter of an inch is completed by three
persons in one day. Sometimes, however,
in order to hasten the process, a shawl is
made in separate pieces at different looms
and the pieces are aftcrward sewed to-
gether, this being done with such marvel
Gus dexterity as almost to defy detection.
The shawls are made both long and
square, the former generally measuring
four and one-half feet wide and twelve
and one-half feet long, end the latter five
and One-fOurth to six feet square. 1t is
well known they are exquisitely soft and
warm, surprising in these respects every
other clothing material. In some parts of
Asia these shawls are worn in precisely
the condition in which they come from
the LOOM but all those destined for India
are carefully washed and packcd.-N. Y.

A METHOD of bronzing cast-iron, recent
ly introduced in Paris, is said to render
the copper so thoroughly adherent to the
iron that there is nothing required be-
tween the two metals, and they are 50 COM
pletely united that, if an accident happens,
the cast-iron will sometimes scale off with
the copper; it is said moreover, that the
deposit of copper is perfectly even, not
thicker on salient parts than in hOllows or
under cuttings. Mention is made of a |
number of huge statues having been COW
cred with copper by this method, and, |
among other works, two bulls, larger than |
nature, presenting each surface of at
least 1872 square feet, and on vases, can
delabra and decorative castings of every
kind-all with invariable success-and
the copper deposited on the works is new
er less than LOO of an inch in thick
ness. 1t is stated that the cost of these
works is not more than doubled by this
application, and the copper,
when carefully treated by a French bronx
list, presents an appearance very little in
ferior to genuine bronze. This process is
also found peculiarly adapted to the tin
ming of copper or cast-iron vessels, the
adherence of the two metals being COM
plcte, and the coating of tin may be of
any desirable thickness; the articles are
simply first secured, and then those to be
are dipped into a bath of melted
or fluoride of copper and ergo
lite, to which chloride of barium is added

TWO FACES.
NO. A..

HAVE so strange thing to tell,
You hardly will believe it;
But as it is the very truth
hope you'll so receive it.
IT'S of little girl | know
Who has two different faces,
And yet they're not, as you might think,
In two quite separate place..
No. both of them are in one place,
Quite close to one another;
But still when one of them you see
You cannot see the other.
BY some strange tricks this little lass
Keeps one face always hidden,
And only that one comes in sight
Which by her will is hidden.
There's one of them that seems to me
The loveliest of faces;
IT'S beautiful to look upon
And full of charming graces;
So fair and sweet and kind it is,
So cheerful, bright and sunny,
/ would not sell that precious face
For a whole world of money.
This face my little lassie wears
When she is good and pleasant;
And oh! how glad l always am
When that dear face Is present.
Such delightful thing it is,
wish 'twould stay forever,
And then the other face she has
Would come before me never;
For that's the face we always see
When she is cross and fretful
And when of all her pleasant looks
She seems to be forgetful,
And bids the naughty face appear,
SO dark and SO uncheerful,
So puckered up with scowls and frowns,
To look at it is fearful.
OH how 1 wish this gloomy face
She could keep always hidden,
And that for it to come in sight
Would be thing forbidden!
Ali then l should not care so much
Though she did have two faces,
If never of the ugly one
Could see any traces.

THE japanese Parliament is now in
full blast. A rule of the house obliges all
members to appear in white neckties and
full evening costume. When any ques-
ton before the house comes to a vote, the
Speaker puts it in this form: "All who
are of the same opinion as the Govern
ment will please hold up their hands; all
who are of a contrary opinion will be
good enough to perform the happy dis
patch Immediately" In this way rash
and powerful Parliamentary majority is
prevented from growing up against the
Government and sweeping the country
into revolution. -Chtcdgo Times.
