The Workshop.

Professor Francis \. Wake would
lave the young men of Boston of a
mechanical turn of mind go more tho
TOughly into industrial pursuits. What
be says Is profitable enough, only it
should be remembered that the system
of the workshops is being completely
revoluuOnlZed. IN former days the
young man who bound himself out as
an apprentice was expected to pass
through all the steps of the painters or
carpenters trade, doing everything
well and nothing as an expert should
do it. From drawing a chalkline and
planning a beard to the making of a
door or a house the learner was not
confronted by the disturbing element
Of trades unions or the competition of
specialists or Of machinery. Originality
and intelligence were at a premium,
the motive power was the arm and not
steam or electricity. But this is all
changed. The introduction of ma
chimes has made machines of the great
body If apprentices and jouTneymen
and also developed a few specialists.
As rue, poor jOuTneymen in the old
sense are at present in demand in our
shops, since only a little practice is
demanded to enable d man to turn a
screw or run a wOod-tuTniDg machine
all his life. The status of the trades is
very much lowered. The brains of the
workmen sleep and labor becomes more
and more mechanism.
The master mechanic and the manu-.
facturer are not at all averse to this.
An invention that doubles the produc-
uon and reduces the number of men
only takes out of the problem of busi-
ness margin Of uncertainty. A ma
chine which Goes not require any spe-
cial skill 10 manage viii not go on a
stIile, is not killed by bad air or bad
beer, and at the same time it lberates
many hands which are thrown upon the
land in starch of work. With all that
AoS bttn EoAu dbOul ludtUlllt-IIIllt0
and handmade chairs and tables. the
demand for the former is so increasingly
great that the advice to young men to
enter the field should be taken after
serious concern. At any rate, many of
the trades now put premium upon
the unskilled workman. The general
character of our workshops has un-
doubtedly degenerated, and We in this
country have not made the provisions
Tor education of workmen that prevail !
in the English towns.
1t would be much wiser, therefore.
III view of the undeniable tendencies of |
the trades and also their Overcrowded |
condition, to hold up the advantages.
financial and moral and physical, that
attend an agricultural life, for example.
Not only is it better for the country at
large that there should be wide agri-
cultural interest, but the tiller of the
soil is personally more independent and
more a man and a citizen. We have
not yet reduced agriculture, gen orally
speaking, to system.

A Saucepan Taxes Flight.

In the neighborhood Of Wem, town
on the Shrewsbury and Crewe branch
Of the London and Northwestern rail-
way. some unaccountable proceedings
are reported. At Woods farm, four
miles from Wen, occupied by Mr..
Hampson, his wife, two children and
two female servants, recently, while
the family were just about to sit down
to tea, at P. NJ, when it was still
daylight, saucepan suddenly jumped
off the fire. and this was followed by
the tea things being swept off the table
and smashed. Several pieces OF the
burning coal were then hurled off the
fire, and set the clothing of an infant !
months old in flames, and beto.e the
clothes could be removed the child
was severely burned on the hand and
arm and its hair was singed OFF It's
head. A small American clock on the
mantelpiece was next dashed violently
to the ground, and several other arti-
cles on the mantelpiece were also
thrown down and broken. Something
was thrown against the face of a large
cased clock and shiyered the glass and
case, and a large globe and chimney
were smashed. The mat of the lamp
took fire from piece OF burning coal
falling on il, and basket on the parlor
table was also discovered in flames.
The neighbors were fetched in, among
them Mr.. Lea, neighbOring farmer,
Police Constable Bowen and others,
and, although the smashing Of crockery
and the huIling of articles from one
side of the room to the other continued,
theycould not discover the cause. Mr..
Lea and Police Constable Bowen were
both struck by things drown by an
unseen agency. 1t was feared that the
house would be set on fire by the burn
ing coal, and, consequently, the fire
was removed from the CRATE and the
furniture from the house. All went
outside, but several things were flung
from the inside through the windows.
In the kitchen six panes Of glass were
broken and several in the parlor. Strict
inquiries have been made by the police
and others, but there appears to be no
elucidation Of the mystery. Mr..
Hampson says lie cannot account for it
unless it is something in the coal; but
the cCal could not throw articles about
the room. The affair has caused con-
siderable talk in the neighborhood,
and a great amount of incredulity is
expressed.

TEA GowNs.-Tea gowns this season
are most varied and superb, making
the question of a choice no easy one,
even for those who own the weightiest
of purses. Among large number ot
ne wly-imported robes was a very beau
tiful one made of pale violet cashmere.
In the back was o wide Vatican plat,
down the center OF which ran an en-
broIdery of English v.olets and plush
rose buds, exquisitely wrought and
dellcately shaded silks. Over the shoul-
ders was laid coachman's cape, bor-
dered with the floral embroidery. A
second tea gown, fashioned LII similar
style, was made of silyer-gray satin
foulard, embroidered in pure white
roses and buds and layishly trimmed
with wide ruffles of Oriental lace. An
other very stylish gown was made OF
pink silk shot with silver, with Wat
teau back and Marie Antoinette futed
plastron and collar. The open sleeves
were lined with rose-colored mervell-
leux, and the drspings were caught up
with rose-colored satin ribbons and
large silver buckles. A handsome
matinee was made of plain black satin
lined with cardinal and hand painted
with clusters of cardinal red geranium
blossoms. For ordinary wear were
score of princess robes made of cash
mere, vigogne, limousine and broch
fabrics, trimmed severally with fceile
lace, satin pipings, colored Spanish
lace and bands OF bias velvet, very
attractive dress for morning wear beng
a dark wine colored cashmere, cut In
to blocks around the bottom with u
deep rutfe of plated wnite SATIN set
beneath. The bodice was trimmed TO
correspond.

CoLoRKD PRINTS OF FLowERs.-A
pretty process for taking colored prints
of flowers by means of aniline colors
has been devised by NJ. Cyme of Mar
sellles. The fern or plant is hattened
and dried by not iron as if for preseI-
walton in an herbarIum- The surface
to be copied is then painted over witE
aniline dissolved IN alcohol or wood
spirit. The paper to receive the PRINT
Is damped with water, dried with blot
ting paper, then placed on q sheet of
tln-foll. The painted plant is then laid
over it with the colored face downward,
and pressed on the paper below by lay
ing another sheet OF paper over it and
passing a roller or cold iron over the
latter. Several impressions may some-
times be got from one plant, especially
If a violet print of methanyIene be
taken. To prevent blurriing of the first
proofs from redundance of color the
painted surface may be retouched by a
brush dipped in solution of saltpeter
or marine salt. Aniline colors have a
variety of shades, and with little skill
the natural colors of the plant can be
closely initiated in this way.

A large bone, evidently of some use
at one upe as part of the support OF
some hinge animal, was dug up the 9th,
er day from the creek mud at Vlnalba.
ven, Me-, and the Oldest inhabitants of
those ports say that it belonged to an
elephant. They say that some forty
seven years ago a vessel named the
Royal Tar, carrying menagerie of wild
beasts from the provinces to some
Southern port, took fire, and was run
ashore a few miles north from where
this bone was found. A few of the old
people can tell of how they heard the
terrible cries of the animals, and recol-
lect a large elephant having swan
ashore from the wreck. The bone is
doubtless part OF this elephant.

A LAUaHAsLK incident occurred the
other evening on South Side car. A
nice, modest-looking girl took her seat
near the front door of the car next to
weu-dressed, middIe-aged gentleman.
She laid her dainty lace handkerchief
in her lap to adjust her hat Just as the
car door was opened and a gust OF wind
cent the delicate lace 'kerchief INTO the
lap of her neighbor. She hesitated
about reaching for it, when the gentle
man, glancing downward, beheld some
thing white, and, being little near
sighted, at onse jumped to the concIu-
sion that he had met with disaster. He
swiftly tapped his overcoat across his
lap with his left, and with his right
hand tucked the offending linen out of
sight in jiffy. Several persons who
noticed the act were conyulsed With
laughter, and the gentleman, not
dreaming of the real cause, soon after
left the car. Ii any South Side wife
has this week found any dainty lace
handkerchief about her husbands
clothes she need not be jealous-it was
only a case Of mistaken idenity.

DOMESTIC.

FRYING PIsH.-The theory l have
suggested is that melted fat cooks by
convection of heat, Just IS water does
IN the so-called boiling of meat. Ii
that is correct, 1t is evident that the
fish should be completely immersed IN
a bath of melted fat, and that the turn
ing over demanded by the creased
plate theory IS unnecessary. Well edu-
Gated cooks understand this, and use a
deeper vessel than our common frying
pan. charge this with a quantity OF tat
sufficient to cover the fish, which Is

Tie flour or bread crumbs with which 1t
is coated indicates the sufiiciency OF
the cookery. At first sight this appears
extrayagant, as compared with the
practiced of greasing the bottom of the
pan with a little dab of fat but any
housewife who will apply to the frying
of sprats, herring, etc., the method OF
inductive research described by LORD
Bacon, may prove the contrary. fhls
method. to which we are indebted for
all the triumphs of modern science, Is
nothing more or less than tho sys'e

tons. In this case it may be applied
simply by frying a weighed quantity OF

weighing the fat that remains and sub
tracing the later weight from the first;
to determine the quantity consumed.
If the frying be properly performed,
and this quantity compared with that
which is consumed by tine method OF
merely greasing the pan bottom, the
bath frying will be proved to be the
more efficient. w. NJ. Williams, In
