THE brickmakers in the neighbor-

on quite extensively in New York and
Boston.
The increase of the foreign trade OF
the United States in the last two or
three years has been very large. In
the last month or two, however, there
has been a decided decrease.
AMERICAN shops are producing steel
plates of great strength and pliability,
and susceptible of polish which it is
not possible to obtain from iron. The
material thus consumed is obtained by
utilizing the ends cut off and other frag-
ments resulting from the manufacture
of steel rails. There is also a process
for annealing the steel and so softenine
the metal that il is rendered perfectly
pliable without loss of strength. The
timing is done by passing the sheets
through cold rolls, then subjectin e
them to a succession of baths of molten
tin, with intermediate processes of an.
healing, pitching, ETC., the whole end
ing in a vigorous polish with lambs
wool or buffers, ready for Shipment

ENGLISH OAK STAIN FOR BOTToMs
OF Doors AND SHOEs.-The process
used by the best English shoe manu-.
facturers to stain our hemlock and
union sole, so that it shall resemble
English oak, is simply as follows: Take
equal quantities, say one ounce, OF
borax and oxalic acid, and put in a
quart of water. Be sure the acid does
not predominant, and in some cases a
very little more of the borax will be
better. Then when the shoes go to
the finishers. after sandpapering the
bottom, when dry, dampen down OF
wet the grain with this solution, and.
when nearly dry, apply French chalk
or pipe clay in the usual way. This
brings out white bottom, finely tinted
with a shade of pink. If more yellow,
and not so much red, is wanted, put in
a little turmeric root or chrome yellow.
Care must be taken that the sole is not
afterward wet while in stock, or the
hemlock color will come out again

THE LITTLE CAVALIER.

HE walks beside his mother,
And looks up in her face;
He wears a glow of boylsh pride
With such a royal grace.
He proudly waits upon her,
Would shield her without fear,
The boy who loves his mother we'll,
The little cavalier.
To see no trace of sorrow
Upon her loving cheek:
10 gain her sweet approving smile,
10 hear her softly speak.
An: what in all this wide world
Could be to him SO dear?
The boy who loves his mother we'll,
The little cavalier.
Look for him in the future
Among the good, the true:
AL blessings on the upward way
His little feet pursue;
OF rObed and cr0wn'd and sceptered kings
He stands the royal peer,
The boy who loves his mother we'll.
The little cavalier.

The remarkable metal known as
wootz, or Indian steel, is now initiated
with considerable success in some OF
the workshops of Europe, the process
being as follows: Small pieces OF very
good forged iron or steel are put in .
crucible and covered with charcoal.
Air is carefully excluded, and the mass
exposed to heat until it turns dark gray
-carburet of iron; this 10 easily pulver-
lied, and in this state it ID mixed with
pure alumiua and subjected for q long
time to white heatin crucible, when
it becomes white and brittle. If one
sixteenth to one-twelfth Of this white
mixture is melted with some good steel,
q very close imitation Of Indian steel
is said to be the result. Commercially
speaking, the genuine raw steel or
wootz comes in three forms, namely
in bullet-shaped pieces Of a certain
weight as they cool in the pots, and
which come from Calcutta; in cakes of
about two pounds and half, from
Bombay, and in cylindrical rods of
about the same weight from Golconda.

A PrOdigal's Return.

In the City of Elizabeth stand as
mansion built and still occupied by an
aged gentleman of nearly ninety years
Isaac Jaques, for many years a
practical draper and tailor in John
street, New York, who retired from
business thirty years ago. He was one
of the founders of the Bethel for sea-
men in New York, and one of the first
to inaugurate the Fulton-street prayer
meeting, of which he is q faithful at
tendant. His son John was a source
of trouble to his father. and left his
home in 1916. The drunkard's life
cannot be told, and during years OF
degradation and debauchery he went
down to its depths until he was dis
owned by his heart-broken parent. One
year ago the prodigal sought the meet
ings of the First Temperance Reform
Club. He was pursuaded to sign the
pledge and seek the help of God in his
effort to reform. He was converted,
and has proved faithful to his pledge
ever since. Last Thursday evening the
members of the club and of the Wo-
mems Union to the number of about
sixty, with an abundant supply of re-
freshments, visited the old mansion in
Elizabeth and gave the venerable couple
surprise. Mr.. William G. Souter,
President of the club, made known to
the aged father the object of the meet
ing by telling him that his prodigal son
had resolved to come back to his
fathers house; that he had been faith
full and true for one year, and that they
believed he would be true to the end.
The scene cannot be described. 1t was
real prodigal returning to his fathers
house. When the old man saw his son
standing before him he went to him
and threw his arms around his neck,
kissed him, and wept like a child. 1t
was scene that will be long remem-
bered by all who were present.

Washington in His Own Day.

NOBODY ever doubted that we know,
and that his contemporaries knew, the
real greatness of Washington. Fox's
splendid praise, with its exquisitely
humorous exception of King George
and his hopeful children, is familiar.
Illustrious man! deriving honor less
from the splendor of his situation than
from the dignity of his mind, before
whom all borrowed greatness sinks
into insignifcance, and all the poten-
tates of Europe excepting the members
of our own royal family become little
and contemplate. - Icannot. indeed.
help admiring the wisdom and fortune
of this great man. BY the phrase
fortune mean not in the smallest de-
gree to derogate from his merit. =" = 1t
must, indeed, create establishment that,
placed in circumstances SO critical, and
filling for series of years station so
conspicuous, his character should never
once have been called in question; that
he should in no one instance have been
accused either of improper insolence or
of mean submission in his transactions
with foreign Nations. For him it has
been reserved to run the race of glory
without experiencing the smallest in
terruption to the brilliancy of his
career" And there is the tribute of
Erskine, in letter accompanying a
book which he sent to Washington in
1895: 81 have taken the liberty to in
troduce your august and immortal
name in a short sentence which will be
found in the book I send you. have
large acquaintance among the most
valuable and exalted classes of men,
but you are the only human being for
whom ever felt an awful reverence. l
sincerely pray God to grant a long and
serene evening to a life 50 gloriously
devoted to the universal happiness of
the world.'
His time knew him, but how totally
free his life is from any consequent
trace of self-consciousness! Indeed,
only man of perfect simplicity could
endure to receive such letter as this
of Erskine. But neither homage nor
Injustice could touch the sweet serenity
of his great soul. The thought of him,
annually renewed by whole Nation,
rebukes our petty aims, our narrow
lives, our selfish spirit. -Editor's Easy
Chair, IN Harper's Magazine for april.

alone sufficient recompcnse to the
country and to Congress for all the

that these most powerful and nee

Appropriation bills with which
they were mt first combined without
