Soft, liquid eyes Of dark, dark gray.
That lingering looked Tar, tar away
Across the summer plain.
So sad the cheek, so thin aud white.
So wan the childish brow.

They haunt my memory now.
The flowers were nodding to and fro,
Their rose-tipped leaves apart,
Whilesang the br0oklet soft and low
The childhood songs she used to know,
Back to her listening heart.
The scene around was wondrous fair.
BY vale and rivers brim;
Soft summer fragrance filed the air,
And still the white cheek rested there
Till the sweet eyes grew dim.
That vision from the far blue skies.
What dream of hill and dale
Come with those voiceful memories
To light awhile the pensiye eyes
And flush a cheek 30 pale.

The eyes that sought the shadowy nook,
Are IN my dreams to night.

Copper and Brass.

The first copper mines opened in the
United States, says the Pottery ana
GidsSlcdre Reporter, were located In
Connecticut. The State employed its
convicts for a period of sixty years,
ending about 1880, in getting out the
metal in the town of Simsbury. The
ingots of metal were sold to the mint
and to the smiths; but at first by far
tie larger part was exported to Europe
to be manufactured. After 1912, when
duty of 30 per cent. was levied upon
manufactures of copper, there was less
of metal exported, and more OF it made
up into plate and utensils for use on
this side of the water. The industry
developed the fastest in the Eastern and
Middle States. In 1870 there were 391
copper and brass factories in opera
tion, employing $500 hands, and pro-
ducing o value of SIS, 900, coo in finish
ed goods annually, there being of these
factories twenty-nine in Connecticut,
forty four n Massachusetts,, eighty-five
in New York, eighty-one in Pennsyl-
vania and twenty-one in New Jersey.
Ansonia and Waterbury, Ct, became
the principal centers of manufacture.
Pure copper is one of the softest of
metals, and is easily rolled into plates
for use. It is in the form of plates
principally that it is employed in the
arts.
Sheet copper is very popular ma
terial for boilers and cooking utensils
| in domestic use. The metal resists the
action of the fire better than tin and
sheet-iron; it is, therefore, applied to
the construction of many forms of man
ufacturing apparatus which come into
contact with fire, such as retorts and
pipes, yacuum-pans, condensers and
boilers in distilleries, sugar refneries
and other factories The smaller uten-
sils are formed from the sheet metal
by hammering, and by the process of
spinning up, The copper becomes very
dense and brittle in the smithing proc
ess, and has to be annealed constantly
as the work goes on.
Copper is more extensively used in
the form of brass than in its pure state.
BY admixture with certain proportion
of zinc, it gains beauty and durability,
and is generally preferred in that form.
! The best proportion of the metals is
! two of copper to one of zinc, which
makes what is called eight-ounce brass ;
that is, eight ounces of zinc to sixteen
of copper in the pound. f
Brass is as agreeable metal to work
as pure silver. In thin plates it can be
stamped and embossed in any form. 1t
spins up beautifully in lathe. It can
be drawn out into delicate wire, and is
so malleable that it can be beaten out
almost like gold-leaf itself for the pur-
pose of cheap gliding. The metal is
susceptible Of high polish. 1t does
not rust by exposure, and has a great
deal of the beauty of gold. 1t is the
universal material of which chandeliers
and gas fixtures arc made, being sus-
eeptible of rich coloring, bronzing and
silvering by chSmieal processes, and Of
shaping into the most elaborate forms
by stamping and embossing.
Brass is much used at the present
time for CRATE fronts, fire sets, various
articles of household bric-a-brac, and
is coming into large use for Office fin
ishings.

Michigan Congressman on the Silver Prob
lem.

Senator Palmer, of Michigan, who went
to Chicago to attend the Fat Stock Show,
said to Tribune interviewer that he
should favor the suspension Of the silver
coinage in the coming session of Congress.
He believed the silver dollar should con-
tain 100 cents worth of silver, and not
eighty-fye. AS to the legislation subse-
quent to the suspension of the coinage, he
said he had made up his mind as to what
he should favor. He did not believe under
any recommendation that the President
might make in his annual message that the
silver question would become party issue.
The Senator's views were nearly identi-
cal with those of the Democrat who repre-
sents Detroit in the lower house-Con-
gressman Maybury. The latter said, in an
interview, he was opposed to the continued
coinage Of the dollar as it is, and, while
not a single standard man, he nevertheless
believed that they should be nearer to-
gether than at present. AS to the views of
the remainder Of the Michigan delegation
on the silver question, Mr.. Maybury said
he had talked with none of the members
about it, but was inclined to the opinion
that quite number agreed with him.
