Concerning Stoves.
TO BE CONTINUED. !

In the manufacture of stoves, saws an
exchange, the patterns cut very inn
portant figure in the column OF ex-
penses. The wood and iron patterns
cost about the same. and the total cost
of a wood and iron pattern for a stove
OF any one size is about 81, 900. Some
times they cost good deal less and
sometimes more. The Life OF a
pattern used to be longer than it is now.
Twenty-Five years ago a certain style
of make would last about ten or fifteen
years before 1t became obsolete: now
styles change more fire luently, and the
life of patent is accordingly much
shorter. The desire of customers for
stoves of a new style and bright and
fancy finish has ne. essitated a greater
expenditure for atterns, larger stocks
of them. and more profuse use of
nickel rlate. The result of all this has
cen disastrous TO largeprofts. A quar-
ter of century ago 50 and 20 per Cent.
profits were as easily realZed by the
manufacturer as 30 and 35 per cent. are
now. Then comparatively small
number of patterns would answer for
the largest establishment: now several
hundreds are requil ed. Stoves turned
out by Western works are heavier
by some fifty pounds than East
ern stoves, owing to their hav,
ing larger fues and thicker plates
tlues are made large in the
Western stoves on account of the gen.
eral use of bituminous coal in the West.
A small ilue would soon choke up and
the stove would be unserviceable. In
the East anthracite coal is largely used,
for which reason the flues are made
small The advantages claimed by
Western manufacturers in making
thicker plates is that the percentage OF
those spoiled. in the mold is not so
large as when the plates are made thin.
Thus, of each days total melt of iron
IN Western stove foundry, about 90
or 60 per cent. is saved in good
plates, the remainder. in the shape OF
defective plates. sprues. gates, etc,
going back to the furnace to be re-
melted. In the East 80 per cent
saved is considered a high average.
The result is, Western stove-makers
save more time and use more iron in
the furnace and molds than Eastern
manufacturers. Stoves made in the
East for the Western trade are called
saddles" from the fact that the flues
are made with view to burning either
anthracite or bituminous coal in the
stoves.

No More Gate Sagging.

Some years ago our attention was in
vited to what was considered as an in
evitable and remediless evil-the sagging
of farm gates, and the question was re-
peatedly put if farmers were forever to
submit to these imperfect means of en-
trance to their fields, barnyards, etc.
Our reply was that the time-honored
"bars" must be again adopted, for all
things considered, they were decidedly to
be preferred to these sagging gates.
What, indeed, is more annoying than a
sagging gate? 1t is forever out of order.
1t may be stiffened up one day, and the
next it will begin again to droop, in a
little while to drag again, and away goes
hinge, and this costs time and money
to repair. There has lately been, how
ever, a substitute introduced for the farm
gate, which is more efficient and con-
venient, and which requires no hinges,
chains, clasps or gate-post. 1t is simply
panel of fence made of inch boards,
say four slabs, six to eight inches wide,
nailed together by cross pieces of the
same, the cross pieces commencing about
one foot from each end. At the back
end of the panel two undressed common
fence posts are set, one, the side on which
the gate is to open, about an inch and a
half farther back, and the posts to be
only about the same distance apart.
From one post to the other suitable sup
ports are nailed, on which this end of the
panel is to rest and move. At the head
of the panel an ordinary fence post is
set, the holes corresponding TO the ends
of the slabs in the panel, which can, if
necessary, be reduced little in width,
and the four are to fit in the holes in the
post. This panel can be moved easily,
can be carried round fully, is equally as
good as gate, has no posts to sag, no
hinges to rust and break, or any iron APP
planes in the way of fastening at al,
and will not cost more than sixth OF
tenth as much as an ordinary gate. Any
farmer who can handle a saw and drive
a nail ought to be able to make such an
affair without further Ger

Facts About Precious Stoncs.

There is in Paris a diamond so hard
that the usual process for cutting and
polishing made no impression upon it.
The black diamond is mostly used for
tools. In Russia it is broken into flakes,
polished and WON as court mourning
The historic diamonds have no mo- e
luster than piece of glass. The sham
diamond is more beautiful than the gen.
uine stone, but it has a tendency to de-
composition and does not retain luster.
The diamond mines Of Brazil were first
opened in 1927. 1t is estimated that
since that time they have produced at
least two tons OF diamonds. In En-
gland. stone weighing one carat and
of the purest water is worth, when cut
and polished, about $50. The dealers
in rough S. ones acquire the habit of dis
tinguishing the water of a rough stone
by simply breathing upon it. Among
the historic diamonds the Rajah weighed
500 carats, and the Great Mogul 282 Be-
fore 1T was cut the later weighed 500
carats. From the composition of the
diamond we see what costly things ia
ture makes from common material. All
the diamond fields of the world are not
worth the anthracite fields OF Pennsyl-
Nania- A ruby of five carats is double
the value Of diamond of that size,
and one o. ten carats is worth three
times as much as a diamond of cor
responding size. A perfect ruby is the
Tarest of all stones Rubies are often
initiated with real stones, the most COM
mon being spinel. But it is not difficult
to distinguish the imitation. as the ruby
is the only stone having pigeon-blood
color. Another precious tone is the
sapphire. which is like the ruby. with
the exception OF the color. There has
been a small stone which was ruby on
one side and sapphire on the other. The
emerald is deep green, the deeper the
better 1t lose no brilliancy in an arti-
fetal light. but its color may be dis

IS not the hardness nor the color that is

Norwegian Engagement Customs.

AS soon as a young man and young
woman are engaged in Norway, no mat.
ter in what rank of life. bethrothal RINGS
are exchanged. These rings are worn
ever afterward by the men, as well as
by the women. The consequence is that
one can always tell married man, or,
at least, an engaged man. in Norway,
IN the same way as one can tell a mar
ried woman in England when she shows
her hand. Gold rings are used by the
rich, but silver, either solid or in fila
gree, by the poor. There is no married
man in Norway, no matter how humble
ne may be, who does not bear this out
ward mark of his submission to the
matrimonial bond. But this is not all.
As soon as the man is engaged he has

Mr. Calthorpe preserved silence on

tavcrably received in society. and be-
lieyed that he might have paid his adj

But he did not remind him by word or

he expected il To- be met: the means

tect the signs of continued CORE

fession afforded tho best possible proof
that there was no love affair distractino
the barrister's mind.
SoMr Calthorpe was content TO al
low matters TO glide on in their own

skill with which he managed his son.

The Surgeon. General OF the Navy.

There is one young man in Washing
ton who has the sincere respect as we'll
as regard of all the old silver-tops of the
navy. He is Wales, the Surgeon-Gen-
eral of the navy, who is not mere
fgurehead. He is q practical young
doctor of ability and energy of very
high order, who lives one of the busiest
lives possible. He is not only physician
but surgeon and an anatomist of high
attachments. The old Admirals and
Commodores respect him because they
know that he knows them through and
through, and that he is in many cases,
time and again, their bulwark against
death. The fulfillment of several pre-
dictions that this or that man would die
within specified time has deepened the
feeling of respect with which the old
heroes regard their young physician.
A number of the friends of a certain
well-known naval officer are watching
him closely, inasmuch as the period
glvUn him to live some time ago by this
far-seeing Surgeon-G General is about up.
confess that in this case am myself
curious to see the outcome. 1t would
certainly simplify matters very much if
we could all learn the day of our end by
applying to this young surgeon. Perhaps
it would be worth while for Congress to
employ him as national oracle, convert
ing his handsome office into darksome
cave in which we might all look forward
into the future. Washington Cor. Phil
