Debris Of Old Buildings.
New York Industrial World. |


The varied materials collected from
old buildings In course of demolition
form enormous accumulations In some
Of the upper wards in New York City,
where one can purchase anything in the
building line from piece of lead pipe
to magnificent French plate glass.
Timber of all sort, from giant cross
beams to little joist POSTS, can be had
III these yards, where there are also win
dow sashes, window weights, doors,
shutters, iron and wooden staircases,
window frames, doorposts, flooring lath-
ing, thing. wainscoting, bricks, brown
stone fronts, granite steps, granite col
umns, iron Orders and iron fronts, iron
stair-frames. and, in fact, anything and
everything that has ever been used in
house. Door knobs, bell handles,
iron ratings and balconies, not to men
ton the cornices, are there In profusion
and confusion. The profits of this bust
ness are said to be great, and while it
frequently happens that large figures
are paid for some houses, the profits are
correspondingly great. Recently some
houses on Twenty-third street were
taken down, and as they were finished
in hard wood. ornamented with mirrors
and great spacious fre-places, the price
demanded was very large, but the old
brass work and glass alone paid the pur-
chaser for what he had invested, an0
the wood, stone and brick of the house
was all clear profit. The two firms who
do the largest traffic of the kind carry
to their yards about fifty truck-loads OF
material day. Their there are dozens
of others in the trade who do a much
more modest business.

Picture Printing.
Fancy Trades Register.

Many attempts have been made to
print picture or design in varied col
Ors by single impression, but these
have all proved more or less defective,
owing to the blending of the pigments
with each other. A new process invent
ed recently, is, however, free from this
objection, and is so successful, that
mandatory for carrying it out is be-
ING erected at Passay, near Paris. The
secret of success consists in employing
solid colors in the form of hard mo-
sale, from which the impression Is
made. This poly-chrome block is form
ed by making solid matrix OF the
ground color, and then cutting out the
pattern by a sharp, steel knife mounted
on the end of jointed parallelogram
to keep it vertical while leaving it free
to move horizontally. Another way to
form this intaglio mold is, to indent it
by a wood or steel die, on which the
picture is cut in relief. The various
paints are poured into the mold in
hot and liquid state, one after another,
taking care alwaysto allow the preced-
inc ones to cool. When the whole de-
sign is finished, and the mosaic COM
plete, it is shaved with keen steel
knife so as to give it fiat, smooth, lev
ell surface It is then put into power
full press, resembling that used by litho-
graphers; the material to be printed is
laid face downwards on its slightly
moistened surface, and a series of roll
ers are passed over it once or twice, so
as to impart the picture to it. The
print is then exposed for few seconds
to the heat of hot plate in order to
drive off volatile solvents and fix the
colors, which are thereby rendered so
permanent that they will stand expos
IRE to the sun. Cloths painted in this
way only lose to the picture when their
tissues wear away; and piece of vel
vet boiled for eight hours in strong
potash solution still retained some of
the color. Water-color drawings and
oil paintings can be reproduced on pa
per by this plan so as to present the ap-
pearance Of acknowledgements and
oleographs; but there is a far wider
field for the method in printing the
beautiful designs of Gobelins and Ar
busson tapestry on textile fabric, so a
form pictorial screens and curtains

Milk Diet for Heart-Disease

NJ. Potain at the recent meeting of the
French Association for the Advance
ment of Science, read paper on this
subject. Milk is particularly eficacious
in secondary cardiac affections, as by
pertroyhy or simple dilatation of gas
trio or rental origin. The diet modifies
the condition of the kidney and stomach,
because it gives these organs almost
complete rest; therefor to be thoroughly
efficacious it should be absolute and
more or less prolonged, 1t may be use
fully employed in cases of simple reflex
palpitation of gastric origin. 1t may
also be advantageously used for its diu-
retic action in dropsy. especially, and
perhaps exclusively, when the dropsy
is of renal origin.

The Garland ToiIel,

This is the kind of gown which one
entirely anonymous Frenchwoman goes
to dinner. 1t is made of heliotrope
satin nae7re,leuSe, but these simple
words convey no idea of its. appearance.
The material is drawn together in such
way that it looks like garland of
violets. How it is done French dress
makers only know. but it is done and is
placed in deep band around the lower
part of the skirt. The front of the pet
ticoat is slightly pulled and trimmed
with Alencon lace. The waist opens
like q kerchief in front and has large
plaits behind. The sleeves are trimmed
with three rows of lace and fastened up
with bows Of satin, and dog collar of
violet velvet and a Russian chain of
chased silver are worn about the neck.

It is very evident that great dis
proportion exists, as regards education,
between that kind which is needed and
is of practical importance, and that
which is not; but which thousands &C
quire without any definite purpose; and
if they decide upon some pursuit it is
not chosen with that regard to their
qualifications and deficiencies which the
Importance of the question requires.
The young man who thinks he will
be lawyer, doctor, or minister, and
hopes to attain success, must decide
on his choice of any profession by some
thing beside his own ambition and con-
ceit In the matter as to his fitness and
ability for the same. The desire to fill
high and influential position is iaud-
able only when it is not disproportion-
ete to ones ability.
One of the strongest incentives that
influences many to rush into the pro-
LESSONS without that careful delibera-
ton which the subject demands, is the
idea that those avocations will reflect
more honor and credit upon them than
trade, but instead of such honoring
the profession, the reverse is glaringly
apparent, that a large proportion of them
are sadly out of place.
It does not require much sagacity to
see that one had better be good lum-
herman than third-rate lawyer, first
class mechanic than quack doctor.
There are those who have spent a
great deal of time and money In study
ing Latin and Greek, and many other
things, which never did them any good,
practically speaking, and have learned
too late that their time might have been
employed to far better advantage.
Many young men, after years spent in
misdirected effort, have had to resort to
anything that offered. Of this there are
instances too numerous to mention.
The world is full of so-called educated
men who don't know anything of any
Importance, considering the kind Of
knowledge which the needs of the country
demand. There is need of skilled me-
chanics, capable, active men, instead Of
doctors, lawyers, ministers and clerks.
It is a question of great Importance
not only to the young, but to the parents,
this of preparing their children for
business wherein they can not only earn
their daily bread, but secure to them
selves some of the comforts and conven-
fences of life, and an honorable position
in the world.
When people get out of the prevailing
but foolish notion of thinking that it is
more honorable to have a profession
than a good trade, and when the reverse
of this rather is taught to the young, it
cannot fail to have judicious tendency
toward correcting an error which has
been fostered long, and lies close to the
interests of all.
IF every man had an occupation that
was chosen because he was better fitted
for it than for any other, he would be in
condition to enjoy much in life, and
his sphere of usefulness and influence
would be greatly enlarged Practical
education, with careful consideration
of ones abilities and Deficiencies, with
an adaptedness to the wants and needs
of our land cannot fail to make our con-
dition much pleasanter and our labor
more renumerative.

A minister who was, perhaps, not too
careful in his habits was induced by his
friends to take the teetotal pledge His
health appeared to suffer and his doctor
ordered him to take one glass of punch
daily.
''Ohl" said he, II dare not. Peggy,
my old housekeeper, would tell the whole

"When do you shaver the doctor
asked.
''In the morning?"
'Then," said the doctor, 'sshave at
night, and when Peggy brings you up
your hot water you can take your glass of
punch just before going to bed''
The minister afterward appeared to
improve in health and spirits. The doc
tor met Peggy soon after and said:
s'I'm glad to hear, Peggy, that your
master is better"
Indeed, sir, he's better, but his brain S
