Celestials Competing with American Hard
ware Manufacturers.
"You may say" said aleading Front
street merchant to arepOrter, THAT the
American hardware trade is fourishing
like a green bay tree. The value OF
what is strictly known as hardware in
this country last year amounted to
nearly $6O,OOO,OOO, Of which nearly
half was made in Connecticut If you
include some firearms, agricultural
implements, cut nails and ornamental,
iron work, which consider hardware,
though many do not, the total value
of the American production will reach
800, 100000. English, French and
German manufacturers send us about
$2,OOO,OOO of hardware yearly. We
have, however, lost one source Of rev.
enue, and it makes funny story.
The Chinese have got ahead of us. Up
to last year we had monOpolr,cf sup

us. The manufacture is carried on al
a place called Chefoo, near Shanghai
and hundreds of men and boys are en-
gagged in the business. What do YOU
think the Chinese make the shovels
fromP Old boiler tubes, immense piles
of which are to be seen in the Chinese
back courts. The old tubes are cut in
to short cylinders just the length of thu
shovel, ripped open, heated, tlattenet
out and hammered into shape. Th'
shovels are taken into the interior o
the country on the backs of mules. ant
our advices state that nearly ever,
Chinese cottager within radius o
from two to three hundred mile
around Shanghai, is supplied witt
one. The Chinese makers sell thei
shovels at from rs to 40 cent
each, according to size and quality

A Pretty Suit for Misses from Eight TO
Fifteen Years Of Age.
: Very stylish is this costume, both as
regards its materials and fashioning.
Canvas cloth and Surah are combined
in this instance, and anticipating
of the Surah trims the bottom Of the
four-gored skirt. Upon the front-gOre
is fan of the Surah which extends to
the belt and is laid in six forward-turn-
ing plaits that flare handsomely to-
ward the lower edge. The side edges
of the fan are sewed to position and
overlapped by the hemmed front edges
of side-draperies, the right side-drapery
extending to the si1e-back seam and
having its back edge draped high by
deep. upturning pfaits The left side
drapery is slightly uplifted at the hack
edge by three plaits below the hip, and
its back edge is overlapped by the
hemmed front edge of another drapery,
which is about the same depth and
similarly draped at its back edge. The
back-drapery falls in straight kilt-plaits
below very boutant pouf formed by
Notwithstanding plates in the front
edges of the drapery, upturning plaits
at the center and tackings to the
breadth.
In outline and tashioning the basque
Is jaunty and noticeably pretty. The
fronts open with gradual flare over a
vest of Surah, the vest being laid in
forward-turning plaits between them
and extending under them to the un'
der-arm darts. Single bust darts taken
up in the fronts and vest together, un
Ger-arm darts and center and side-bacE
seams fit the basque beautifully; the cen
ter seam terminating at the top of an un
derfolded triple box-plait, and the side
back seams finishing at the waist
line. The front edges of the back
skirt are draped by three upturnins
plaits. The fronts have their lower cor
ners cut of in front of the bust darts
so as to be shorter than the vest, ant
their front edges are decorated with I
row of buttons. The closing of thu
vest is made with hoops and loops
The standing collar is of the Surah

HAVANA BAY,

All you who are able to travel to
Cuba in luxury would arrive by steamer
from New York or Tampa, Fla, be
hustled from the boat in tug, and
gathered with your luggage in such
celebrity to your hotel that perforce
you would never enjoy Havana Bay
as did. Being poor man Of leisure,
from motives of necessary economy
which held pleasant compensations,
our little schOoner's cabin, with its sea
smells and perennial meals of Gods
tongues and sounds, salt beef and dried
apples, became for time my Cuban
home. and because of this, perched
comfortably at the masthead at all
hours Of the day and in all moods of
the weather, came to know the city,
bay and shores something as the man
in Moro castle tower or the old bell
ringer up among the cathedral bells
must have known them all-with a
quiet fancy of elated retiracy yet loving
sense of possession. From up aloft
there, the hundreds of vessels discharg-
ing or receiving cargoes and all the
extraordinarily active maritime life OF
the bay seemed still and far, and the
heights which encircle the harbor and
city possessed friendly nearness. Lay
your left hand upon your table, back
downward, your fingers pointing tc

CALLING rRsE ANGELS

CAhEsANG HhE ANGEbS.
We mean to do it. Some day, some day,
We mean to slacken this fevered rush
That is wearing our very souls away,
And grant to our loaded hearts hush
That is only enough to let them hear
The footsteps Of angels drawing near.
We mean to do it. o, never doubt,
When the burden of daytime broil is DER
Wen sit and muse while the stars come out,
AS the patriarch sat at the open door
OF their tents, with a heavenward-gazing eye
To watch for the Angels passing by.
We've seen them afar at the high noontide,
When fiercely the worlds hot Hastings beat,
Yet never have hidden them turn aside
And tarry awhile in converse sweet,
Nor prayed them to hallow the cheer we spread,
To drink our wine and break our bread.
We promise our hearts that when the stress
OF life-work reaches the longed-for close.
When the weight that We groan with hindors
less,
Well loosen our thoughts to such repose
AS bauishes cares disturbing din
And then-we'l call the Angels in.
The day that we dreamed of comes at length.
When, tired of every knocking quest,
And broken in spirit and Shorn of strength,
We drop, indeed, at the door of rest,
And wait and watch as the day wanes on
But the Angels we mean to call are gone!
