The American Tin.Ware Trade,

For long time past one of the best Gus
toners of the Bristish maker for tin and
terne plates has been the United States of
America. At one time we were sending to
that country great consignments of tin
plate goods in varied shapes and of differ
ent values; lately the Americans have
learned themselves to use up the tin plates,
and now we have them shipping tin plate
wares to this country, made from the tin
plates with which we have supplied them.
In America itself it was at one time thought
an extraordinary thing for the Western and
Southern States to send into the Northern
States articles for which they had before
been indebted exclusively to the latter. 1t
was only few months before that, in con-
versing with manufacturer in the West
ern States Of hardware goods at one time
obtained by the new world almost solely
from Birmingham, we were assured by the
American that he should soon be forward
ing this same class of goods to compete
with those of the Birmingham district in
their home market. The goods were not
those which have the tin plates for their
fabrics; but what the tin plate makers of
the United States are doing would seem to
imply that his assurance was something
more than empty boasting.. The United
States manufacturer displays an amount of
ingenuity in invention which is but seldom
seen in England, and the handicraft men
A.
are ready to adapt themselves to new pat
tern so soon as it can be shown that it is at
all probable to be success. The American
tin plate goods that are now being offered
in Birmingham and South Staffordshire are
described as simply marvellous, both as to
the price Of the articles and the ingenuity
displayed in their construction. Surely
there is something very wrong in this coun-
try when the Americans, after buying our
tin plates and paying heavy wages for
the manufacture of the article, are able to
offer it here at prices much under those at
which we can produce 1.-THE Engineer.
W Printing a book in China is done as
follows: Two pages are written, by one
trained to the business, on a sheet of thin
paper, divided into columns by black lines,
and in the space between the two pages are
written the title of the work aud the num-
Der of chapter and page; when the sheet
has been printed it is folded down through

Love Across the Foot.Lights.

While Miss Frances Kelly was playing at
Drury Lane, in 1910, in "The Modern An
tique," mailman, named Barnett, fired
pistol from the pit. The shot passed within
an inch or SO of Miss Kelly's head. Miss
Kelly tainted dead away, and was carried
home. The lunatic was arrested and taken
to mad-bou On examination, he stated
that "love despised " was the cause of his
attempt, for he had frequently addressed
letters to the lady, which, coming from a
perfect stranger, she never replied to. The
poor creature died in Bedlam few months
later. Miss Kelly is not solitary instance.
One man, during fifteen years, was always
present at the performance of Miss Steph-
ems, who subsequently became Countess of
Essex. He invariably sat in the third or
fourth row of the pit, and the instant the
opera was over, quilted the house, and
placed himself at the stage door to catch
glimpse of the siren as she passed to her
carriage; but she never addressed him by
word or look. When Miss Stephens became
ing opposite her house, had to be sent off
by force, and, returning again and again,
was at last conveyed to a lunatic asylum.
In Dublin, Miss Kelly was the heroine of
another absurd adventure. A wealthy gen.
tleman fell desperately enamored of her,
and followed her about The Irish capital
like lap dog. He was very inoffensive,
and the only annoyance he was guilty of
was throwing bouquets upon the stage in
the most extravagant manner. Once, on
the occasion of benefit, he wished to be
extra gallant, and let out of basket a
dozen or so of white doves, and which flew
about the house to the distraction of the
actress and amusement of the AUDIENCE
When Miss Kelly left Ireland, and went to
London, her clover" followed her to West
moreland street, and behaved in such an
excited manner in front of her house that
she was compelled to have him arrested
He was restored to his friends, who prom
Used to convey him to lunatic asylum
While relating this affair to the magistrate,
Miss Kelly alluded to the "mad lover" who
had shot at her. "What can it mean 2"
she said. "Surely, sir, it can't be my
beauty that drives these gentlemen wildv'
The question pleased the magistrate, who
looked up, smiled, and answered: "Mad-
anne, It's your charms-for, although you
are so ugly, you are still the most lovable

up. and all the strong stones fallen.
A gallop of another hour southwestward
toward the Dead Sea, over lands which re-
minded me of the very best portions of the
Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, brought us
to Nebby Sebul. AS we rode along we
were entertained by the maneuvers of our
Bedawin escort. They were all mounted
on fleet mares, and armed with long
spears. They would ride with the utmost
speed, rush at each other, whirl their spears
and turn their mares, all as with single
impulse. Their mode of riding, their yells
and general movements were much the same
as those of our American Indians. Jebul
Nebby, Mount Nebo, pointed out to us by
our Bedawin guide, answers we'll the con-
ditions of the description contained. The
first feeling 1 had was one of disappoint-
ment. The general range is not 80 high,
nor does the particular Pisgah stand out SO
separately as l had expected There are
three successive points in a line with each
other toward the valley of the Jordan, all
of which we visited to satisfy ourselves of
the exact position in which Moses stood.
The uppermost one was most satisfactory
There the view of Palestine was very good.
The atmosphere was very hazy, and pre-
vented an extended vision. Mount Carmel
could be seen, all the outline ranges of
Central Palestine, the hills of Judea, and
down the Dead Sea as far as Zoar, or oppo-
site Zoar. Here the great Lawgiver was
allowed to look over into the Promised
Land. l confess 1 never felt so sadly for
Moses as while following his steps through
the wilderness. Forty years shepherd
amid the wlds of the Sinaitic desert,
cultured man, tending flocks, surround
ed by rude companions and awful soli-
tudes, and forty years more amid the
same inhospitable scenes, bearing the sins
and follies of a crude, stubborn people,
who raised suddenly from slavery to free
dom, had everything to learn to compact
them into a united and sensible nation,
and then to fall short of the promise! But
the angels of God buried him. Such an
end after all seemed tc beft him.
Moses the servant of the Lord died
there in the land of Moab, according to the
word of the Lord. And he buried him in
a valley of the land of Moab over against
Beth peor. "-Methodist.

she was strictly forbidden to look back,
for 'such an act entailed disaster of the

REMEDY FOR Poison BY IvY.-It seems
to me that l read all kinds of cures for ivy
or mercury poison except the right one. l
have always endeavored to keep it before
the public, but have failed. 1t is to dis
solve sugar of lead-a bit the size of a
hazlenut-in half teacupful of sweet milk
or warm water. Apply as warm as can be
easily borne with soft lnty piece of linen
rag. Three or four applications are suf1ici-
ent to effect cure. If the poison is on
the face and nearing the eyes or mouth,
this astringent wash may be constantly
applied. 1t is a marvellous cure and by
watching closely one can see the fevered
blisters turn from white to yellow during
the application. This remedy for ivy
poison should prevent a great deal of suf-
fering. 1t is well where a member of a
family is easily poisoned to keep sugar of
lead in the house all the time. Let it be
labeled and kept where it can be found the
moment it is wanted. Keep it well wrap
ped up that it may not lose its strength.

"No PosTPoNEMENT ON ACCOUNT OF
THE WEATHER" An English inventor
recently exhibited an apparatus for making
hay when the sun does not shine. Coke is
burned in portable stove, surmounted by
a fan driven by a three-horse power engine.
The fan drives the hot air and gases from
the engine and stove into " the drier " at
temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.-
Partly made but wet hay or wet grass is
instantly dried by this apparatus, and the
hay is said to be as fragrant as though it
had been sun-dried The total expense of
the operation, including cost Of fuel, labor,
and wear and tear of apparatus, is esti-
mated at from seven to eight shillings per
ton. Immense quantities of hay are an
nually lost by damage, either whole or par
tial, from changes in the weather, and the
inventor claims that his machine will either
make hay from grass at cost of eight shill-
ings ton, or expel all water from partially
made hay at a cost of one or two shillings
per ton. In the experiments with the ma
chimes, farmer dried some hay reduced in
value by rains from six to two pounds
per ton, and he considered that the spoiled
hay was restored thereby to its original
value. The apparatus costs about $500,
and is intended to be used like threshing
from farm to farm and
operated by the owner. The ingenuity of
man has put upon the sun an immense
variety of work, which that luminary did
not have to do until within the last GEN.
fury, and it is perhaps only fair that mans
ingenuity should now relieve the sun from
some of his failures in one of his oldest
duties-that of making hay. Even in this
new way of making hay, however, the in
domitable sun takes part-for the heat is
supplied from the Goals wherein he depos-
tied it as reserve fund centuries ago.

Chiseled cups of fairest flowers
Through the fields are blossoming;
Summer splendor bathes the hours
In a rosy coloring.
Days are sweet when love is turning
Things of earth to brightest gold;
Days are sweet when souls are yearning
Heart to heart to fold and hold.
Where the stream goes leaping by,
Lisping ripples kiss each shore;
Hark, the willows softly sigh
To the waters they hang DER.
Youth and maiden half forget
Scarcely heed the world without;
Hands by tender hands are met;
Lips are pressed by lips devout.
o the paradise of pleasure,
Whittier souls ascend in love
Mingling rapture without measure,
AS they soar to heaven above.
Stay, sweet moments; life is tleeter
Than the streamlet rushing by;
Stay, sweet moments; love is sweeter
Than all earthborn ecstasy.
