Uneasiness Of the Temperance People.
New York Cor. Phila- Ledger.
The temperance brethren are exhibiting not q
little sensitiveness about the way they say
things are going on at the White House, In
proof OF which printed circular for private Cir
cuIation has made its appearance. stating that
there has been a serious reaction in the great
cause since the administration of President
Hayes. and they think. therefore. that the time
Is approaching when its friends will have to put
forth new efforts to stem the tide OF bad eX-
ample in nigh places" What seems to have es-
pecially alarmed them Is an announcement i'm q
recent dispatch from Washington to the Times
newspaper here that. at recent state dinner.
..tbe President had no fewer than six different
kinds of wine on the table" III these things are
continued they are apprehensive that all the
moral influence of the Hayes administration on
behalf of teetOtalism will be undone. At the
approaching annual meeting of the National
Temperance Society il is intimated the subject
will be brought prominently before that body,
and. IN the meanwhile. it is deemed the duty D!
the churches to see what can be done to stir up
public opinion afresh in favor of the cause, not

THE DUTY OF WEALTH.

appreciative nor very discriminating It is per-
haps more appreciative than discriminating: but
it must be both, to considerable degree to in
sure the best efforts Of the art worker It is not
enough to educate the artist. There must be a
public seeking and needing the products of his
skill 1t is essential that this public shall dis
criminate between honest works and shams: be-
tween that which Is sincere. honest and inteIli-
gent, and that which In meretriciOus and pre-
sumptiOus or ignorant. If the public flock to
the salesrooms Of the trade auctioneer the man
who peddles the products OF the shop, or worse,
the direct plagiarisms that, by dint of adroit
advertising and well-appOinted rooms, arc
foisted upon an unsuspecting public, here as
well as in other places throughout the land, III
such works as these hnd their way to the walls
of the most luxurious homes; If good prices arc
paid for such productions while reputable works
gather cOb-webs aud miidew in the studios of
home painters, what encouragement can there
be for man to paint in accordance with his real
convictions? Can he be seriously blamed for
pandering, more or less. to what he knows to be
vitiated taste? Painters. of real ability. ham,

Cardinal Wolsey, who had a nincty-nine
of the building seemed to awaken the cupidi-

thought it prudent to make his royal

Wren for William III. The palace was sold
by Parliament in 164l, but afterward came
into the possession Of Cromwell aud it con-
tinucd to be one OF the principal residences
Of English sovercignsu until tue time Of George
Ill. The palace was the birthplace of Edward
vi. and was the scene of several great his

lis walls during the reign of James |. that en-
dcavored to settle the dispute between the
Presbyterians and the State clergy. Tie

the scene of the wedding of Cromwell's
daughter to Lord Falconbury. 1t is now

Facts About stoves.

In the manufacture of stoves the pat
terms cut very important figure in the
column of expenses. The wood and iron
patterns cost about the same, and the to-
tal cost of wood and an iron pattern for
a stove OF any one size is about $1,000.
Sometimes they cost a good deal less and
sometimes more. One manufacturer in
this city, says the Age Of steel, pub
lished at ST. Louis, has n set of patterns
for stove of three sizes which cost him
$4,000. The "life' of pattern used to
be longer than it is now. Twenty-Five
years ago certain style or make would
last about ten or fifteen years before it
became obsolete now, styles change
more frequently, and the life of pattern
is accordingly much shorter. The desire
of customers for stoves OF new STYLES and
bright and fancy finish has necessitattd d
greater expenditure for patterns, larger
stocks OF them, and a more proiuse Use
of nickel plate. The result of all this
has been disastrous to large profits. A
quarter of century ago, sixty and sew
cnty per cent. profits were MS easily real
lied by the manufacturer as thirty und
thirty-hve per cent. are now. Then
comparatively small number of patterns
would answer for the largest establish
ment now several hundred are required.
Stoves turned ont by Western works
are heavier by some fifty pounds than
Eastern stoves, owing to their having
larger flucs and thicker plates. Fues
are made laIge in the Western stove on
account of the general use of bituminous
coal in the West. A small hue would
soon choke up, and the stove would he
unserviceable. In the East anthraci tie
coal is largely used, for which reason the
tiues are mode small. The advantage
claimed by Western stove manufacturers
in making thicker plates is that the per-
centage of those spoiled in the mould is
not So large as when the plates are made
thin. Thus, OF each days total melt OF
iron in Western stove foundry, about
fifty-five or sixty per cent. is saved in
good plates, the remainder, in the shape
OF defective plates, sprues, gates, ETC. 60

In the East, fifty-two per cent. saved il
considered n high average. The result
il, Western stove makers save more time
and made more iron in the furnace anc

Stoves made in the East for the Westerl
trade are called "straddles," from tn,
fact that the flues are made with viey
