Industrial Secrets.

A century ago what mar discovered in
the arts he concealed. Workmen were put
upon an oath never to reveal the process
used by their employers. Doors were kept
closed, artisans going out were searched,
visitors were vigorously excluded from ad-
mission, and false operations blinded the
workmeu themselves. The mysteries of
every craft were hedged in by thick-set
fences of empirical pretenslous and judicial
affirmation. The royal manufactures of
porcelain, for example, were carried on in
Europe with a spirit of jealous exclusive
ness. His Majesty of Saxony was espe-
clally circumspect. Not content with the
oath of secrecy imposed upon his work
people, he would not sbate his kingly
suspicion in favor of brother monarch.
Neither king nor kings delegate might
enter the tabooed walls of Nielsen. What
is enormously called the Dresden porcelain
that exquisite pottery of which the world
has never seen its hke-was produced for
two hundred years by process so secret
that neither the bribery of princes nor the
garrulIty of the operatives revealed it.
Other discoveries have been less success

The manufacture of tlnware in England
originated in stolen secret. Few readers
need be informed that tinware Is simply
thin iron plated with tin by being dipped
INTO the molten metal. In theory 1t is an
easy matter to clean the surface of IRON,
dip it into bath of boiling tin, remove 1t
enveloped with silvery metal to a place
of cooling. In practice however the pro-
cess is one of the most difficult in the arts.
1t was discovered in Holland. and guarded
from publicity with the utmost vigilance
for more than half q century Englans
tried in vain to discover the secret, until
James Sherman, Cornish miner, insiuu
ated himself master of the secret, and
brought it home. The secret of manufac
turing cast steel was also stealthily oh
tanned, and Is now within the reach of all
artisans

Monumental Clay.

When one of the Detroit trains came il
at midnight, few nights ago, an old mar
was found sleeping IN one of the seats; th,
conductor flashed his lantern in his face
the brakeman stirred him up, and one ol
two passengers looked at him carelessly,
but no person seemed to belong 10 him
He was neat and clean, but thin and wasted
by old age or privation. All sorts oi
troubles were mapped out on his clean
withered face, but the main thing just ther
was to get him awake and on his feet, snd
out of the car.
81 say, old man," yelled the conductor
in seven-league voice, "get out of this
do ye heari This is Detroit. If you've
got any friends they'll be looking for
you."
He opened his eyes so wide and sudden
that the brakeman and the conductor and
tie curious passenger fell back on each
other in heap, but only his lips moved:
"Where's Graciei'
"Whol" asked the conductor, recover
ing his official voice.
"Little Gracle-grandpa,s little perf /
brought her with me. Is she's she
there?"
81 guess he Is not wide awake yet,
said the curious passenger. Suppose you
help him to his feet"
Conductors are experts in helping people
to their feet, and this one was no exception
to the rule. He took the old man by the
coat collar and stood him up, but he sank
down the next moment limp and motion
less. Just then depot hand come in:
"The baggagemaster wants to know
what you're goln' to do with that mite of a
deal box over there. He don't want any
of that kind left over, and there amt no
direction on it but 'Gracie ~
"That's her Z" said the old man, and he
stood up feebly. take me there. We're
gong long, long journey-Gracie and
me; long. long journey, but it dent seem
as if knew the way right clear"
They took hIm into the depot and laid
him ON ore of the benches and put his old
carpet-bag under his head, but he still
fretted for his 'leetle Grecle-his pet, "
and at last they consoled him by telling him
she was resting, was asleep, and must not
be disturbed.
"We've long, long journey to CO." he
kept saying to himself "snd grandpa s
baby mustn't get tired. It's long way, a
long way"
The little "box" with Oracle written
upon it IN lead pencil was safe enough with
the other "freIght, and the old man slept
peacefully at last. Some kind soul threw
a rug over HIM near morning, and asked
him what tram he was waiting for, but all
the answer he made was a feeble
g Thank 'ee; call me at sunrise. We're
going long journey, Oracle and me-"
he was called at sunrise by voice that
none may refuse, and when flood of rosy
light shone into the dresry room he was Up
and away-gone on his long journey.
Only the worn-out body was there, and
yesterday it was laid away with little
Oracle" in the strangers lot at Mount
Elliot, alone, unknown, yet possibly in as
"sure hope of a glorious resurrection "
as if marked by thirty feet of monumental
clay.

Fasting and FeastIng In Russia.

There is In ordinary times plenty of cheap
bread IN Russsa, and plenty of cabbages
and dwarf cucumbers, which with tea, and
perhaps little quass, from the staple food
of the moujiks, who, naturally abstinent
from everything but strong drink, are ar
tIficially encouraged to spare living by their
long and strictly observed religious fasts.

of two or five weeks, according to the incl
dence of Easter Sunday; the fast OF the U.s.

Zinski-lasts from the 1st to the 10Th of Au-

Christmas; and between the Carnival and
Easter there is another most rigidly OBJ
served fast. Besides these, Wednesdays
and Fridays in every week throughout the
year are fasts most scrupulouslY adhered
to-by the common people, and, as rule,
by females of all classes. But if the upper
ranks were as religiously abstemious as

Land Laws.

As test of the personal concern which
members of the Government have in land
laws In England, it Is interesting to note
the possessions of some Of them Mr..
Gladstone is the proprietor of 900 acres I;
the Marquis of Harrington is heir to 200, 900
acres; Earl Spencer owns $1,000; Earl
Kimberley, 1900; Lord Northbrook,
10, 600; MIR. Dodson, 30, 900; Lord Hunt
ley, 10000; other members have lesser
estates, and Mr.. Bright is the only promi-
nent man in the Cabinet who has no landed
possessions in fee worth mentioning. The
Duke Of Argyll, who has retired, owns
l75, 900 acres, but his RENAL Is a little more
than fourth of the Duke of Devonshire's

How Paris Walters Cheat.

1t is, perhaps, not unnecessary to caution
readers. and more especially those who are
strangers to this city,-a fact which they may
be sure the Observant Partisan will at once de-
tect,-to look sharply after their change at all
cafes and restaurants, save few establishments
where the honesty Of the walters is beyond sus-
picion. The Paris waiter is not free from some
very disagreeable characteristics, in spite of his
smOOthness, celebrity and polish, and among his
little faiiings is propensity to fitch whatever
he can of the coin he fingers. The dishonest
ruses of the walters are numerous Some in
variaby bring back the change for any sum one
or two sous short by which means if regularly
successful. considerable sum may be amassed
In time. Others, flying at higher game, are
oVertaken by such unaccountable fits of alb
s.ractlon when they are bringing back the bal
ahce LOT l0-franc piece, for instance that thew
only give change for five; or, the coin ten
dered be louis, for 10. In the case of the
angry remonstrance which is made almost al
ways, nothing is easier than to assume an air of

From the Boston Transcript.
Dear heart, do you remember
That drear, yet dear, December
when sea and sky waged war, and snow and
sleet
Fought fierce for mastery Ger minds so leet?-
w hat cared then how bad the weather?
One thought had I've were together
And now the June is smiling,
With every grace beguiling,
The breeze pays court to daisies in the grass;
In tune are sea and sky. But l. alas!-
What care now how fair the weather?
