How BronZes are Made.

from the English Illustrated Magazine.
To make the matter clear, | will
suppose that one OF the first artists
of the day has modelled q statue which
is to be cast in bronze The statue is
q seated female, half draped. She has
bare feet and raised arms. The drap-
cry is full Of narrow, deep folds, de-
signed to show and emphasize the
movement of the figure. The statue
is cast in plaster as soon as the model
in clay is finished, and is handed over
to the bronze founder-"art founder
he will probably style himself. The
first thing he will do will be to cut off
the arms, because it is SO much easier
to mold them separately. Then he
will probably cut off the body at the
line Of the drapery; then he will likely
enough cut off the plinth. All these
pieces he will mold and cast separately.
They have to be then cleaned up with
chisels, punches and files to remove
the lines left on them by the seams OF
the mold, the latter having been made
OF many pieces fitted to each other in
the same way as piecemolds are made
in plaster.
The seams left on plaster casts by
the latter are familiar to every one.
If there has been deep OF intricate I'M
der-cutting in any part, as IN the hair,
theears, or the drapery, probably this
has been quietly filled in by the foun-
der-to the destruction of the artist S
work-in order that it may. be easier
to mold. | know of one instance III
particular where very important ma
tlonal monument was SO treated, TIC
the disgust of artists. The nation was
none the wiser. All these pieces hav
ing been cast and scraped up must now
be put together This is done partly
by means of screws and rivets, partly
by brazing the parts together, accord
ing to circumstances. These joints
have then to be worked over with
punches and files, in order that The
exact line of jointure may be con
cealed; indeed, it is often requisite &c
work over several inches on either side
to effect this purpose. Sometimes
what between the lines of the molc
that have to be removed and the
joints that have to be worked over
there is but little left of the touch O
] the original artists.

BY ANJOU.

The evening shadows have fallen; closed is the
weary day,
The crescent moons reflection CLEANS in the
ripping bay;
IS all alone on the beach | lie, and gazing out
to sea,
Wonder if Alfalfa will ever come back to me.
Sometimes ask the sea breeze, moaning just
above
Where it drove the brave ship that bore away
my love?
But the wind tears on its voyage-it will not re-
veal the doom
OF this my loved one, or where l may find her
tomb.
And then turn to the ocean, with its ever-con-
slant roar,
But it answers not to my pleadings, only beats
on the rocks of the shore;
No it will not tel if my lost one lies cold beneath
it's wave,
But seems to quiet it's fierceness and the sorrow
full white sands lave
Oft watch the north star, the sailot s friend so
And ask what OF Alfalfa, and what OF her fate it
knewf
But it only beams the DINNER, and turns q
sicklier pale, -
As ii it longed but could not relate TO me Vhe
tale.
None. none will tell me where my darling, my
own Atala's gone,
The ocean winds shrek wildly, the waves peaO
mournfully on;
The moons pale light falls pityingly, and even
the bright sea shell
Is repeating DER some story drear, but the
secret it will not tell.

Mr.. Potts Deal in Pork.

you," said Mrs. Potts. eff you see

dear. | mean q little speculation.
Let me show you how it works. Now

Don't be so fast, wife. | don't ever

to do with it.
II thought you just said you were
going to send up $50 barrels"
No, didn't. The pork am going
to buy is way off in Chicago"
Chow do you know whether it is
good or not, then? -
Dear me, wife; what do | care
whether it is good or bad? | merely
go long"
you mean you go long minding
your own business.
''No, no. That's a technicalphrase
Let me explain it to you. You see
when l go long, the bucket shop goes
short"
"Short ~
"Short, Mrs POTTS.
''Short OF pork Why don't they get
some more, dear?''
Good Lord, wife, the whole thing
is plain as day Here 60 to a bucket
shop and buy $50 barrels of pork;
that, don't you see, makes them bears
and me bull"
'Don't YOU know any better, Mr..
Potts, than to talk like that before
your own children? | should think
you'd be ashamed Of yourself, sir.
You get worse and worse every day"
"You don't know what you are
talking about, Mrs Potts. When l
buy $50 or 500 barrels OF pork it
shows | feel like a bull
II should think you'd feel like an
idiot"
'Ibuy $50 barrels of pork, as l said
before, Mrs. Potts, and cover it with
margins"
"What kind of margins"
ooh, five cent margins, to begin
with
Il shouldn't think margins as cheap
as that would be good for anything.
You'd better let me go and pick them
out for you, Mr.. Potts. Men never
know about such things
II buy $50 barrels of pork, Mrs.
Potts, and hold on to it upto March. y
Il thought you said you wouldn't
have any to hold on to"
GAS I said before, Mrs. Potts, [ buy
$50 barrels of pork and hold on to it
until March comes, and then pork, &C
cording to my way of thinking, will be
worth a dollar or more barrel then
gavefor it, and I'll be anywhere from
$3.50 to $500 ahead. What do you
think of that, Mrs. Potts?"
"Where is the $500 coming from?"
From my deal"
'What deal?"
'The deal l just toldyou about"

A tranquil Nervous System

Can never be possessed by those whose dlges-
tive and assimlative organs are in a state of
chronic disorder. Weak stomachs make weak
nerves. To restore vigor and quietude to the
latter, the first must be invigorated and regu-
lated. The ordinary sedatives may tranquilize
the nerves for while. but they can never. like
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, remove the causes
Of nervous debility. That superb invigorant
and corrective of disordered conditions of the
aflmentary organs has also the effect of i'm
CT which they are constituted, when weakened
In consequence of impoverishment Of the blood,
resulting from imperfect digestion and assimila-
ton, draw strength from the fund of vitality
developed in the system by the Bitters, which
imparts the required impetus to the nutritive
functions of the stomach, enriches the circula-
ton, and gives tone and regularity to the secre-
tive and evacuative organs.

What Can a Woman Do :?
rFrom a San Francisco Letter.


Mrs. S. T. Ingalls,, of the Willows,
two miles out from San Jose, has
twelve and one-half acres in orchard,
from which IA fact by no means the
rule) uniform good crops are produced
During the last nine years from the
planting Of the trees, Mrs. Ingalls, has
had the entire management. Year
before last, 1888, she kept strict &C
counts of sales of fruit, which footed
up So, 4OO,w with expenses of $500 for
the harvesting. The crop last year,
1884, she sold for 81, 600 clear money.
Mrs. Ingalls, believes in thorough culti-
vation, fertilization and irrigation,
where the latter means can be en-
ployed, and she is now reaping the re-
ward of well-directed labor. Her pa
thence, perseverance, true grit, as well
as grace, are showing their results,
and a very good showing it is. Like
other enterprising Californians, Mrs
Ingalls, has made many important I'M
provements which will prove of future
value, for in the way OF improvements
she has come from practical experience
to know what is needed and to use
money to the best advantage. 1t is
worthy of remark that the last plune
crop from five acres amounted tC
eighty-four tons, which were sold or
the trees at the rate of $3.50 per acre
being the largest yield per acre for this
fruit vet realized in California.

But 1t Cured The Lumbago.

From the New York telegram
A veteran whaler, who has been an
occasional sufferer from lumbago, got
ahalf-dozen porous plasters yesterday,
and, before retiring for the night,
pasted himself together with them.
His wife was quite anxious about his
restlessness, which continued to grow
worse until near daylight, when a sue
cession of groans and twitchings
caused her to inquire what was the
matter. She was astonished with the
reply: Matter be blowed! the darned
Selling has hauled itself up to the
masthead" One of the plasters didn't
stick where it was planted, but worked
loose, strolling leisurely up the pillow,

stone the stuff out of the victims
