How Thimbies Are Made.


very simple, but singularly interesting
Coin silver is mostly used, and is OBJ
tained by purchasing coin dollars
Hence il happens that the profits of the
business are affected instantaneously by
all the variations in the nations green
back promise to pay.
Tie first operation strikes a novice as
almost wicked, for it is nothing else than
putting lot OF bright silver dollars
fresh from the mint, into dirty crucibles
and melting them mp into solid ingots
These are rolled out into circular pieces
of any required size.
A solid metal bar of the size of the in
side OF the intended thimble, moved by
powerful machinery up and down in
bottomless mold of the outside of the
same thimbles, bends the circular disc
into the thimble shape as fast as they
can be placed under the descending
bar.
Once in shape, the work of brighten
ing, polishing and decorating is done
upon lathe. First, the blank form is
fitted with rapidly revolving rod. A
slight touch of sharp chisel takes a
thin shaving from the end, aIbther does
the same on the side, and the third
rounds off the rim. A round steel rod,
dipped in oil and pressed upon the sur
face gives it lustrous polish. Then
little revolving steel wheel whose edge
is raised ornament, held against The re-
volving blank, prints that ornament Just
outside the rim. A second wheel with
sharp points, makes the indentations
on the lower half and end of the Thin
BILE. All that remains to be done is 10

"Pshaww said Mr.. Smyth, lying down

"'But, continued Mrs. Smyth, reading,

Mr.. Smyth rose from tie sofa and came
over and sat on chair by Mrs. Smyth
while she read the description of the
succeeding nine rounds.
At the conclusion OF the eleventh

"No; can't see that it does"

Noes Education Educate ?

The last lecture before the Woman Suffrage
Society will be given this evening at Congress
Hail. Subject, "Does Education Educate?"
From Miss Eastman's we'll known ability and
her practical acquaintance with her subject,
having been teacher for some years, we an
ticipate thoughts of much value to all inter-
ested in education.
These lectures, now to close, may well be
considered a success, having accomplished all
that their originators anticipated. They have
introduced to fine audiences, ladies of large at
tainments, of moral and religious worth, who
the longer they study the subject, are more
deeply convinced of the paramount Importance
of woman suffrage, not only for all women but
for all men. They have shown that their lives
are not confined to one idea, but that they are
devoted to all subjects that will make the
world better and happier. The society will
have small sum left for the Home.
Mrs. Edna Cheney will read a paper before
the Woman Suffrage Society Thursday after
noon, Jan. Goth, at Reception Hall, on "The
Ideal Home" at o'clock. 1t is requested
that the members of the society will meet at
81 o'clock for The transaction of business. B.

Art Climb Exhibition.

Yesterday morning the exhibition held un-
der the auspices of the Ladies' Art Club was
opened at Davis gallery, Congress square. 1t
is only few years since the club was organ
lied and, for the most of the time, at the
quarterly private exhibitions the work dis
played has been generally that of about a
dozen of the members. AT the present ex-
hibition an effort has been made to show the
ability not of a few but of major
ity of those who belong to or have been mem
bers of the organization, with very happy
result. There is no doubt, judging from the
specimens the committee have collected, that
the study of art on the part of the society has
been conscientiously pursued, while several of
the members display decid ed talent.
There are one hundred and six contribu-
lions in oils, water colors, and black and
white, embracing flower and fruit pieces,
landscapes, heads, portraits, genre and other
subjects. The majority are devoted to flowers
as would naturally be expected, and some of
them are remarkably beautiful in graceful
drawing, as well as brilliant and harmonious
grouping and coloring. Some consist of a
single flower, others a vase of grasses and
others on PLAQUES and others on panels Of
plush and velvet
The charcoals are very good There is a
landscape, long sandy road up hill crowned
at the summit by few buildings, and border
ed ON one side by some scrub brush carelessly
but artistically dashed in, and another of an
old arched stone bridge surrounded by woods
that are worthy of notice. The negro boys,
and the figures over the gallery entrance COM
mand attention. There is lovely drawing of
two children on the right of the entrance.
The landscapes, as rule, display good ideas
of breadth, perspective, and ar tistic effects.
There is an interior representing an old low,
heavy ceilinged apartment, with deep, wide
tiled fireplace, surmounted by placques hav-
ing an old fashioned cabinet in corner. At
one side sits the quantity dressed matron
while the child disports himself on the floor.
There are several heads and figure pieces of
the italian and Spanish type, warm, olive
tinted beauties with rich stuffs adjoining their
heads that CLEAN with peculiar lustre in the
strong light of a southern sun.
There are several modelings from clay and
in plaster that show the decided talent of their
author and which have previously been noted
in these columns.
We hope the exhibition will be well patron
lied. 1t deserves to be for two reasons. First,
it helps most worthy charity. Secondly, it
shows what our ladies can accomplish not only
as pastime but in good honest work which is
as good as q profession to them should they
ever need to make use of it.

JANUARY 10.
Mr.. EDITOR: People who live remote from
the Kennebec river have bnt little con-
ception of the excitement and hustle incident
TO putting up ice in favorable year. MOI
only is there intense excitement to secure
rich corner in some ice firms, but many quar-
rels arise by different parties laying claim to
the same patch of cooler. Although Bowdoin-
ham has unusual privileges for storing ice'
every acre of good ice upon the Cathance river
will be stored, and most of the six miles
frontage upon the Kennebec. One firm alone
takes one hundred acres. The time of pre-
pairing, getting lumber and building, cutting
and storing the ice is very limited. So all has
to be done with rush, cause much excite.
ment and confusion, which makes the cost oil
the ice considerably more.
The Maine Agricultural Institute meets
here tomorrow for its session.
The G. A. r. fair held recently netted $50,
which is considered very good after several
postponements and bad weather.
Men are very scare now, and ice companies
can not get half crews, SO there is plenty OF
