time when there will be too much sun

Then the deterioration will commence.
Women will become IN strength, energy
and physical prowess more like men,
and, aasi more like men in morals,
while the men will grow correspondingly
effemiuate and physically feeble. This
will simply be the result of excessive
luxury, the swing of the pendulum to the
extreme of civilization in contract to its
starting point in savagery. But it will

The jewelers. fPforzheim.

Mr. Monaghan, United States consul
at Mannheim, recently paid a visit to
the city of Pforzheim, in Baden, with
a view to seeing how German jewellers
eXcelled those of the United States
He found the methods of production
very similar, except that the German
has tie advantages of being provided
with an excelliant technical school in
which children intended for employ
ment in the jewelry-shops receive a
thorough theoretical training long be-
fore they see the inside of factory.
Instruction here is practically free,
the manufacturers paying about
shillings year for the pupils whom
they intend to employ. The manu-
facture of plated ware and plate is
growing. Thick copper and silver
plates are prepared with a perfectly
smooth regular surface. French louis
d'ors are cut up and melted, run off into
plates, rubbed. filed. and rolled out to
the size of the receiving plate, attached
to the latter by means of some special
secret chemical preparation, put in
clamps, and then put into a very hot
fire of charcoal. Here, under the
trained eye of the furnace watcher, the
metal remains until little excrescences
or buildings along the line of
juncture indicate that it is done, when
it is taken out and left to cool, after
which it is placed between rolls of
different weights. When it came out
of the furnace it was a thick piece of
combination metal; it leaves the rolls
a thin, long, smoky-like string of plate,
fifty to seventy-tive feet in length.
This is then tempered or annealed
over flaming gas jets, after which it is
rubbed, cut into strips, and sent to

WORKING ON SIMPLE DIET-A great
number of kashmiri cultigators occupy
themselves in spring aud autumn in talk
ing goods from the plains to Kashmiri by
contract, and on that bargain will exert
themselves manfully.
| once arranged my loads for the or-
binary coolies, but afterward met with
some Kashmiris who were ready to take
them by weight. They loaded them

had been made up; one pan carried four

load weighed 1872 pounds, and l have a

History OF HoNiroN LAcE.-Honiton

HISTORY OF HoNIToN LACE.-Honiton
lace has curiously checkered history,
with many fluctuations. 1t is said to
have been first introduced by the Elem
ipgs, who took refuge il England to es
cape the prosecutions of the Duke of
Alya. Many Flemish names are still to
be found in the neighborhood of Honi-
ton, namely, Stocker, Murch, Maynard,
Trump, etc. In 1860 there was such a
demand for it that France thought it
necessary to issue royal ordinance pro-
viding that a mark should be affixed to
imported English thread lace. Two
great fires at Honiton in 1856 AID 1857
gave the first check to its production.
Queen Adelaide tried to revive it after
twenty years of severe depression by
ordering shirt made Of sprigs, copies
OF natural flower, commencing with the
initials of her name; for a very debased
and hideous set Os patterns had come IL.
This does not seem to have produced a
great revival of tie trade, and when our
present queen required her wedding lace
it was found difficult to provide the
workers. bat eventually dress worth
FL 900 was made at the small fishing vii
lage of Beer
The English royal family has been
most constant patrons of Honiton lace,
and has done immense good in keeping
the trade alive. We will end by quoting
a few quaint words from 'sFuller's Dev
onshire Worthless" which sum up the
plea for the revivais: thereby many
children who otherwise wonld be burden
some to the parish prove beneficial to
their parents. Yea, many lame in their
limbs, and impotent in their arms, if able
in their fingers, gain livelihood there
by; not to say that it saveth many thou,
sands of pounds yearly formerly sent
over seas to fetch lace in Flanders. -

Duplicate Wedding Gifts.

"Here are thirteen lamps, seven
| clocks, and six salad-bowls. o, dear
What ever are we to do with all these
things? Why could not they have ar
! ranged and given us each something
| we needed"
The speaker was a young wife, and
she was unpacking her wedding pres
ents. Eighty-six presents had been
sent to this couple. OF this eighty-six
there were thirteen lamps, seven
clocks, six salad-bowls, five water
pitchers, four silver tea services, nine
sets of carvers, and many other arti-
cles, of which there were in number
of cases more than two of kind. "At
any rate" continued the bride, 1--WE
shall never have to buy lamps, clocks,
carvers, or dozen other articles all
our lives, even if we live to be loo
years old"
| Had the bride known as much as
some observant persons know, she
| could have found an easy way out of
the dilemma. A New York jeweler and
| silversmith advertises that be will ex-
change or buy duplicated wedding
| gifts. A reporter visited the estab-
luclC saw III a SilOI I
space of time more brides than he had
ever dreamed Of Some of them
brought with them articles they wished
to exchange, and some wished a clerk
to be sent to their homes. The pro-
prietor examined the articles, APP
praised them, and then showed what
be would give in exchange.
The silversmith said that there were
many. He said that he often had odd
incidents in his business and one of
the oldest happened not long ago.
81 received letter from a prominent
| lawyer to call at his office at certain
| time on business. The lawyer re-
| ceived me, and then having shown me
| a trunk full of silver asked me to buy
it. | asked him first where it came
from and he said: We have Just pro-
cured a divorce for lady from her
husband. She is unable to pay our
| bill and has sent down all her we'd
| ding gifts to be sold. These are the
gifts Rather strange is it not that a
woman should sell her bridal gifts in
order to get money to pay the ex-
penses incurred in getting a divorce.
Some time ago two ladies' came to
| buy wedding gifts. After a great
deal of thinking they decided that each
should buy a silver salad owl-one
to be placed at ecah end of the table
They thought that no one else would
