Making Continuous Plates.

A patent has been recently granted
to Mr.. VIM. II. Brown, Of Jersey City,
for novel process of manafa turing
continuous tin plates. Tie Plates in
question arc made of steel and the pro-
cess consists in producing sheet of
steel of any continuous length and Of
required width by first rolling the metal
hot and aftcrward rolling it cold until a
proper thickness and perfectly smooth
surface is obtained. Next the surface
Of the sheet is secured, and then it is
aftcrward passel through b tn of
molten tin, thus receiving its ccat'ng.
Finally the sheet is subjectc to a rolling
operation under heavy pressure between
highly polished rolls, by viii h the tin
and steel are condensed and consolidated
together and the surface hardcnod and
polished. The inventor states th by
This method the tin will be found to bc
70 hardened upon and incorporated with
he steel as to produce tin plate which
IS superior in most respects to any tin
plate wherever produced.

Teddy.

The drink called "toddy" is the juice
extracted from the cocoanut pain, and
is collected in tarthware pots called
''chattics," into which the sap runs dur
ing the night from an incisiOn made in
the spathc. In the morning the "toddy
drawer" connecting his two feet by {
piece of rope, swarms up the trunk o.
the tree with which he intends com
mcncing operations, and, having reached
the lofty summit, he empties the con.
tents of the chatty into vessel attached
to his waist. In order to slve himscl:
the fatigue of descending each tree anG
ascending the next in sic session, he
passes from one to another by means of
two ropes, on ore of which his bare feet
rest, while with his h inds h, holds on ID
the other. These ropes, in course OF
time become untrustwoTthy from expo
sure to weather. and have to be oc.
casionally changed. But too often the
unfortunate rope-walker, grown cireles
by long immunity from accident, neg.
lects to renew his peri!ous bridge, and
the swapping OF either rope causes his
death. Were the lower rope to break
there might st II be hope of clinging t.
the other. and so working his way along
but shorld the upper one break, obvious
ly there is little cha &C of saving himsc'f f.

1,O30.00O.00O Tin Cans.

nually by the Gamers of this country"
said dealer in cannel goods.
~ box of tin plates, which weighs
from 103 to ll2 pounds, will make be-
tween seven and eight cases of cans. A
case contains a dozen three pound cans,
the general 81 C, or two dozen one pound
cans. Taking the average, box of tin
will make about 100 cans. Thus, YOU
see, about 10, 900, 900 boxes of tin plates
are necessary every year to make the cans
to hold the goods racaed in this country.
The weight of the metal alone is some.
thing like 10000, 900 pounds, and the
cost about $i5, 900, O0O.'
"Are all the canned goods brought to
New York;
New York City is the main source of
supply to The rest of the United States
for canned goods as well as for other AZ
ticlcS. 1t is also the principal port from
which canned goods are sent to Euroic,
and there is a large trade done now in
this class of business between the United
States and the Old World. The process
Of canning has enable 50 many Ameri-
can pro iucts to be sent in good order al
over the world that canned goods now
form an important factor in the export
trade. The bIlk of the canned goods,
therefore, comes here, although other
large cities are often supplied direct from
the place of canning"
as any of the tin produced hcre3'
None that is use in canning. The
cost of home manufactured tin plates is
too great at present to come in cOmpeti-

All AbOut Buttons.

TIE manufacture of buttons seems tc
Ia made great progress during the
rcigns that followed that Of William H.. +,
for buttons came TO be use / 10 an
cxtrayagant extent. 1t was the fash on
for gentlemen at the end Of the last CEN
tury to wear exceedingly long tail coats
having very large buttons, tight buck
skin breechcs buttoncd at the knee and
tied with punches of ribbons, and when
gaitcrs were worn they buttoncd all the
way down. This fashion, occasionally
modified, continued until about fifty
years ago, and may be called the golden
age Of button making. All duties on
buttons were done away with by Sir
Robert Peel.
A curious button was made about a
century ago and worn by the English
dandies of the periol. Il consisted
of polished brass, and was rulcd with
lines 50 fine as to lie almost microscopic.
The roughncss of the surface thus
obtained broke the rejection Of the
light failing on it and gave it prismatic
colors. The beauty Of mother of pearl
and its iridescent brill;ancy are believed
to be produced by three plates overlap
ping each other unevenly, and thus they
dispcrse the light as they reflect it. The
brass buttons appeared iridc scent from
the same cause, and as they cost a
guinea each, they were highly fashion
able at the time.
1t might be intcrc ting to trace the
gradual change from the long blue OF
snu,f brown coat with gilt bnttons and
brccchcs butoncd at the pockets and
knees. with lcggings buttore | all down,
to the present almo-t DuttOnlcss style OF
garments.
Covered but ous were introduced by
W. Sander. He lost his fortune in Den.
mark when Lord Nelson bombarled Co.
penhagea, and cane over to England tt
try and earn little money, not dreaming
that he would more than recoup himself
for what he had lost. lie introduced
iir,t covered button consisting OF cloth
or lasting, with al iron shank. Ills s1n
improved this into what s called tho
flexible shank button, which, when MA!
OF silk, however, soon wore ont.
Another advance WAS the corded gilt
button. Next it lccame the fashion tC
have buttons to match the colors of the
clothes. Ivory was too expensive and
difficult to dye. Recourse was had &c
the corozo nut, viii; IA is soft, easily cut
and takes any hue required.
The changes and caprices of fortune,
which ut one time covers our clothes
with buttons very large ard at another
time extremely small, a"cc:, OF course,
the button trade and the persons en-
gagged therein. 1t seems preposterou
that the wel-being or mi cry of a large

WHICH is THE STRONGEST

The Persian king sat on his throne;
Around him, file on file,
Tho lords Of all his mighty zone,
From India to the Nile
With gold and gems respondent shone
And smiled to see him smile.
"Now tell me-" said he, half in scorn,
(which is the strongest thing
Woman, or Wine, or Truth sky borr
Or Persia's mighty King,
Who answers best, a purple vest
Shall have and golden ring"
Then spoke the first and said; "Rcd wine
OF all is strongest far.
1t fills the heart with JOY divine;
Life brightels like star;
Tho rich AMI roor embrace beni,
And all men brethren aro."
Then said the SO old, bowing low,
"Earths strong st is the King.
He says: 60 forth; his armies 60;
They fear 10 livin, thing.
They smite the 70, with deadly blow,
hhu hOhc
Then said tho third: "Womnn Of all
or these is strongest still:
She rules the King within his hall,
AMI has with each Ler will.
What man most values, at her call
lie brings, her lap to Gil.
II saw Apamc slit 'ns fair
BESIDE the KIN; Of the lind;
She piucked the crown from his dark hair,
With air Of meek comn,nd:
Then placed it on her trcss s rare.
And slapped his ,neldiny hand.
Nor frownci the King but only smiled,
Submissive to her mind:
To her caprice no was child.
SO always with mankind:
No matter how untamed and wild.
Woman can tam, AMI bind"
'But Truth is strou ycr still; its hand
Rcaches from Heaven above.
1t binds the Ages with band
Of Wisdom an OF Love-
lhee earth stands still at its command,
The sun and stars do move.
"Winc may exalt us to the skies,
| Eut then 1t biteth sore;
"A wo:nans sweetest witchcr'cs
Will faio when youth is DER;
But Truth eternal never dies,
And glaldens moro and more.
The princes shouted: "Grcat is Truth,
AMI mi Shticst over ALL"
Darius slid: ''Oh, Hebrew Youth,
Stand first in court aud hall.
All things fors both feel Times flerc, tooth
But Truth shall never fa!l."

Modern "Champ;Ons."

In ancient days the whole OF Chris en-
dom was content with seven champions,
but in modern times champ ons Of
one sort or another have been counted
by the hundred. For some yeUrs we
have got accustomed to rowing, boxing,
running and crickeiing champions; and
we have allowed cxponents of billiards,
lawn tennis and many other pastines to
claim the title. Just at p-eccnt, how
ever, there are more champ ons still in
the field. A shaving champion clal-
lenges all Corners, and on Mon!ay two
more CT ampionship competiti' n came
off. The "fuoits' champion played a
match against time, and was assi'tcd in
his chiyalIous attcmit by the champion
quot cleaner" and in another pat of
London the champion bottle-cariier"
also won a match against time. fois
