plating mechanic to a Brooklyn Eagle re
porter. "Gold plating is cheap nowadays
as compared with former years. What are
the principal articles plated? Watches

The reporters informant led the way to
a rear room containing a dozen electric
batteries. to which were attached thin steel
wires, On a bench were small cups con
tanning liquid gold, silver and nicale. The
gold used is t~wenty-four karats fine. To
illustrate the process the operator took a
silver ring and after washing it in a prep
aration twined one of the wires attached to
the batteries around it. The electricity
was then turned on and the ring dipped in
the liquid gold. Instantly the ring assum-
ed a bright red color and this was succeed
ed by a golden hue. In less than two
minutes the ring was taken out with a suf-
ticient gold plate to last a year, or at least
so said the operator. Spoons, knives, and
forks, and in fact everything imaginable,
are plated in the manner described. There
is big money in the business, as but little
gold is used in the plating process.
Il can so heavily plate a watch that acid

bly, originally worth so for a customer,
and charged him s. for the job, A week
or so ago he called on me an said that he
had pawned that identical watch in a
Brooklyn pawn shop for $40. No doubt
the watch was plated heavier in some
places than in others. and in case the pawn
broker tested the watch, which is unlikely,
he did 50 on the heavily plated part"

Among the Clouds.

AS nearly as could be judged, I was
more than a mile high, and all sounds

until the conductor got tired OF it, and az

he determined TO get even with the fellow.
BY visiting toll-houses, and other means

punch managed to scrape up s19.65 in

the plethoric pocket-book put in appear

presented it to his customer. The young
man looked pretty cheap, and after feeling
the heft Of the bucket thoughtfu1ly got out
of the car and disappeared around corner
Then the conductor took the bill from his
pocket and proceeded to foldit up nicely SC
that it would fit into Il convenient corner OF
his pocket-book. Something in the ap-

HANDSOME MRS. CLEVELAND.
TO While Away Time She Has Twenty
two Photographs Taken.

Among the minor social topics are Mrs
ClevelandS photographs. Whereas it was a
deadly SIN to make picture Of her before
she became Mrs. Grover, now it seems that
we cannot have too many.
The Presidents wife has recently had
twenty-five photographs taken III all manner
OF poses and dresses She is a beautiful
woman. The lucky photographer was Bell,
of Washington. He wished his distinguished
subject to go to his own gallery, because he
could do better justice to her there, but Gro
yer wouldn't have it, and so the mountain
came to Mahomet. The pictures were taken
In the White House conservatory.
The portrait here given is from the photo
graph which good judges pronounce the most
striking. The head is raised in spirited
way and the profile shows the short, slightly
scornful upper lip. Young Mrs. Cleveland
weighs 14G pounds and has a will OF her own.
The dress she wears in this picture is cream
colored flannel lawn tennis suit with blouse
waist and deep black velvet plastron over
it, The photographer was charmed with her
behavior while he was taking her pictures.
He says: Il never had a better sitter. She

To be sure, though, it is no great credit to
her to wish the negatives left just as the are,

Ancient Methed. of Measuring Time.


No wonder the ancients didn't get along in
the world as well as the people of to-day
they lost too much time. And the reason
they lost time was because of their imperfect
ways of measuring it. They had to depend
on the sun dial for the most part. A sun
dial might be very useful when there was any
sun, but it was entirely useless on cloudy days
and during the night. In The latter case the
truant husband inclined to hang out late
profted much. 1t might be two o'clock in
the morning when he crept in, but he could
swear it was only 10, and his poor wife had
no way of proving that he was lying. 1t re-
moves much Of the bitterness of lie when
you can't prove it on fellow.
The Greeks and Romans, Of whom we have
occasion to speak occasionally, although this
is not a strictly classical journal, had an inn
provement on the sun dial, which they could
resort to when the sun dial was On a strike
for eight hours as q days work. 1t was q
large jar filed with water, and a hole was
made in the bottom through which the water
could escape. The flow of the water told off
the hours. 1t was called the clepsydra, which
means "The water steals away"
Sometimes an old Roman who had been
drinking a good many Roman punches before
going to bed would wake up in the silent
watches-we mean sun dials-of the night,
parched with thirst No other liquid being
handy he would drink the contents of his
clepsydra. That stopped the clock, Of course,
and he would everlastingly lie abed waiting
for morning to come. He would never miss
the water till the clepsydra was dry.
King Alfred burned candles to tell the
time by, each candle lasting two hours. A
dozen candles would make one day, though
he got little confused when the grocer, in
order to hold the royal patronage and adver-
tise himself as the special candle maker for
the king, gave him thirteen for dozen.
There are few kings since Alfred's time
who could make note of time in that manner,
because so many of them were in the habit OF
burning their candles at both ends.-Texas

Trouble Enough for One Man.

Both Mrs. Foraker and her husband are re-
igiously inclined, and are members Of the
Methodist church. 1t is said they still keep
up the ancient custom Of family prayer and
grace at table. Mrs. Foraker has been always
prominent in the missionary work Of her
church. Before she went to Columbus with
the governor, she was president of the Wo-
mems Home and Foreign Missionary society
of Walnut Hills. The name of the part Of
Cincinnati where the Forakers reside when
they are at home, is Walnut Hills. II is a
suburb, containing some of the most beautiful
half-city, half-country homes in America. A
range OF picturesque hills sweep back from
the river in a crescent, and incloses the level
which contains what Is now called Cincinnati,
in the bottom. This is the part in which the
factories and business houses are. A large
part of the population have climbed out upon
the beautiful hills for their dwelling places,
and among these are the governors family
Mrs. Foraker has four children, boy and
three girls. Her tastes are domestic The
time she has to spare from home duty is given
% religious and benevolent work.

Helena, Montana, Thursday, September v, 1886
Mrs. Governor Foraker, of Ohio.

1t is said of Governor John B. Foraker, Of
Ohio, that he always misses what he tries for
the first time he attempts it, but he tries
again, and the second time he gets it. This
was the case with the governorship Of Ohio
1t is not related whether it was also his luck
when he was counting the lady who is 5
handsome wife, whose picture is here given,
or not. At any rate, he has reason to con.
gratulate himself on his good fortune in this
instance, whether it was his first or second
luck.
Mr.. Julia Bunday Foraker is now 50 years
old. She was born in jackson county, Ohio,
and her father was congressman during the
war. Unlike the wives of too many Ameri.
can public men, she is well educated. She
was graduated at the Ohio Wesleyan Female
college, at Delaware, in that state, in 1868.
During her pleasant school life here she met
her husband that was to be, John Foraker.
In 1870 she was married to him, he being
then young lawyer in practice in Cincin-
natl
