Blacksmiths Hammer Signals.

When the blacksmith gives the anvil
quick, light blows it is a signal to the
helper to use the sledge or to strike quicker.
The force of the blows given by the
blacksmith's hammer indicates the force of
blow it is required to give the sledge.
The blacksmith's helper is supposed to
strike the work in the middle of the width
of the anvil, and when this requires to be
varied the blacksmith indicates where the
sledge blows are to fall by touching the re-
quired spot with his hand-hammer.
IF the sledge is required to have lateral
motion while descending, the blacksmith
indicates the same to the helper by deliv-
ering hand-hammer moves in the direction
required for the sledge to move.
IF the blacksmith delivers heavy blow
upon the work and an intermediate light
blow on the anvil it denotes that heavy
sledge blows are required.
IF there are two or more helpers the
blacksmith strikes blow between each
helpers sledge-hammer blow, the object
being to merely denote where the sledge
blows are to fall.
When the blacksmith desires the sledge
blows to cease he lets the hand-hammer
head fall upon the anvil and continues it's
rebound upon the same ratil it ceases
Thus the movements of the hand-ham-
mer constitute signals to the helper, and
what appear desultory blows to the COM
mon observer constitute the method Of
communication between the blacksmith and
his helper.

threads and gives the Grape its wrinkled,
crinkly look When dried the Grape is
tossed in heaps, each length of mussed,
yellowy stuff, twisted and tied like skein,
and but for the silky lustre it looks like so
many ragged and badly-handled pieces of
unbleached muslin. After this the Grape
is bleached or dyed and stretched on bam-
boo frames to dry, when it becomes the
smooth, soft Grape with ga wrinkled skin,
like scalded milk, that every woman raves
over. The twenty-yard lengths of wide
Grape are sold at prices ranging from $13
to S25, depending on the weight of the
silk and fneness of weaving.
The painted grapes, which are especially
of Kioto and the Nishimura establishment,
are work of endless detail, and it makes
one weary to look at them after knowing
how much toll goes to each yard of the
gayly-fgured goods. Although brilliant in
color and wonderful in designs, the effect
of these eighteen-inch wide grapes is not
really more than equal to that of the beau
tiful satines that French and American
looms now turn out for such trifing prices.
These gayly-painted grapes are chiefly used
in japan, where the childrens dresses and
girls obs, or sashes, are made of them.
They are usually woven in lengths of fifty
feet and divided for sale into fourths, each
one of which is enough for the wide obi to
be wound twice around the waist and tied,
or for child's kimous, and costs from 81
to Sc. To make it the Grape is moistened,
stretched out on a board, and its edges fas-
tened in line with rice-starch. The outline
of the principal design'is then painted on
with an indigo brush, this in turn gone over
with colored starch, which prevents the
colors from running together, and the first
color is then applied with brush through
perforated cardboard pattern, if the de-
sign is one that repeats itself in general
outline The first dressing of starch is
then washed out, and the next color out
lined with starch and brushed in. Like the
successive stones of chrome, each color
requires different painting until it comes
to the end, when only little touches of diff
ferent colors need to be applied. The Grape
is then washed for the last time, Joined in
one piece and stretched on bamboo frames
that revolve on wooden wheels. Three or
four workmen seated on the floor where the
frame is stretched have their colors and
brushes at hand and paint in the rest of the
design, each one using but one color, and
then moving the Grape along to the next
man. Although it was scorching monday
when we watched the last stages of Grape
painting, each boy had big bowl of Goals
in front of him as he sat on the floor, and
the Grape was swung over the gentle heat
in order that the last celors might dry as
quickly as applied. While the practical
man walled at the waste of time, energy,
and forces that might be applied to other
ends, we of the feminine side felt bound
to insist that all his machine-madc satines
and delaines in the world were not equal to
one yard of Kioto painted Grape, into which
the soul of so many artists enter, and quoted
some of Oscar Wilde's raptures about

THE OLD WIFE.

BY MARY VERNON.

By the bed the old man. waiting sat in vigil, sad
and tender,
Where his aged wife lay dying; and the twilight
shadows brown
Slowly from the wall and window chased the sun

Going down.
seemed to hover,
Lost between the next worlds sunrise and the
bed time cares of this;
And the old man, weak and fearful. trembling as
he bent above her,
Answered "Yes"
Are the children p" she asked him. Could he
tell her? All the treasures
OF their household lay in silence, many years be-
meath the snow;
But the heart was with them living, back among
her tolls and pleasures,
And again she called at dew fall in the sweet old
summer weather,
Where is little Charlie, father? Frank and
Robert-have they Gomez"
"They are safe" the old man faltered all the chill
dren
Safe at home
Then he murmured gentle soothings, but his grief
grew strong and stronger
TIL ii choked and stlled him. as he held and
and kissed her wrinkled hand,
For her soul far out of hearing, could his fondest
words no longer
Understand.
Still the pale lips stammered questions lullabies
and broken verses
Nursery prattle-aI the language of mothers
loving deeds;
While the midnight round the mourner, left to sor-
rows bitter mercies,
Wrapped its weeds.
There was stiffness on the pillow, and the old man
listened lonely,
Till they led him from the chamber with the
burden on his breast,
For the wife ofseventy years, his manhoods early
love and only,
Lay at rest
Fare you WELL" he sobbed, my Mary, you will
meet the babes before me,
'Tis little while for neither can the parting long
abide;
And you'll come and call me soon, know, and
Heaven will restore me
To your side.
1t was even So The springtime in the step of win
ter treading,
Scarcely she'd its orchard blossoms ere the old
man closed his eyes;
And they buried him by Mary and they had their
diamond wedding"
