Work That Lasts for Ages.

Die sinking is carried on to large extent
in New York, and the work turned out from
the various establishments is already &C
knowledged in the market to be of the very
highest order The material from which the
dies are usually made, either brass or steel, is
first turned into the desired shape in lathe.
Steel has to be submitted to a certain process
called annealing, by which it becomes soft
and plable. The letters or figures, as tho
case may be, are then traced on the metal,
aiSer which the graveur is brought into play.
This tool must be highly tempered, or else
it will fail to do the work marked out for
it on the steel plate. The artist who attempts
die sinking must needs be temperate in his
habits, as a steady hand and clear eyesight
are two necessary requisites, should success
be the object to be attained The cutting of
the various letters and designs cannot be
rushed. as the artist must work slowly to OBJ
tain accuracy.
Dies are used for medals. rubber stamps,
seal presses, wax and notary seals, ribbon
stamps, stencil alphabets and various other
necessaries of mercantile use Many of tho
steel dies cut for medals bring high price,
and when any sort of fine piece of work is
turned out the die usually brings as much as
$50. The greatest number of dies nowadays
are used in the cutting of rubber stamps,
and, although bringing a fair price, not
many duplicate orders are received, as the
metal will wear a lifetime, should it not meet
with mishap or the style change, which is
sometimes the case.-New York Mail and Ex-

Afflicted with Rionopbopia.

IN still graver states of nervous troubles
may be observed morbid fears, some of them
most peculiar. There are people afflicted
with monophobia. or the fear of being alone,
which is a most peculiar condition of the
mind. l knew a lawyer who would never
dare TO appear in court for the purpose OF
pleading a case when unaccompanied by his
wife or other member Of his family When
SO supported he would argue well and at
length, but otherwise an indefnable terror OF
something that might happen-he knew not
what-would seize him and render him pow
erless. Then there are victims Of claustro-
phobia, or the fear of going through narrow
places; and | have known people TO be in
mortal terror when proceeding along any but
the broedest thoroughfares. lest the houses
should close in on them and crush them.
Anthrobobia and gynephobia, the one the
fear of crowds Of men and the other the fear
of women, are not uncommon. These and
similar troubles, associated with morbid
sounds in the ear, are the symptoms Of what
has been termed American nervousness, or
neuasthenia, it being first discovered by
American physicians.-Heraido Of Health

How One Woman Makes Money.

A clever young woman is building up a
business of somewhat novel character in
New York and Brooklyn Travelling agents
have long made good thing out of antique
furniture picked up on excursions in tbs
wilds of rural New Hampshire or Connect
cut inducing farmers wives TO ransack their
attics and bring out mirrors that only wanted
regrinding, or brass handled chests of draw
ers in want Of nothing but polish and var
nish to fetch round sums from modern wor-
shippers of bric-a-brac gone by. The best
hunting ground for such things, curiously
enough, has been overlooked almost entirely.
New York and Brooklyn as things go in this
country, are ancient cities. There are low
browed Dutch homesteads within the limits
of the former city, and old houses on Second
avenue, in the Washington square region,
and on Fifth avenue itself, in New York,
which only need to yield up their treasures
TO delight all the lovers of last century
carved oak, mirror front wardrobes, rare
spindle legged monstrosities and choice bits
of buhl.
This young woman has begun a series of
tours among the stately old mansions sunk to
second class boarding houses, or gone yet
further on the roed to neglect and decay,
and when she finds q relic of past grandeur
she rehabihtates it and introduces it to an
art lover or a curio lover, or a person ambi-
tious of the repute of an art or curio lover
with money. An old ebony cabinet, III
laid with mother Of pearl, an old dressing
table, with tray of Sevres let into the top
an old chair covered with French lowered
satins of the early years of the century.
these are grand dukes in Punishment to be
restored to their lost estate. 1t is pleasant
business for young woman with some
knowledge, good eye and better judgment,
and she makes it protitable.-New York Cor.

The Persian on uorsohscl.

lis strange that, although the Persians
are all horselnen. they do not know how to
ride, using the term N our sense They VIII
canter or gallon ali day long without visible
discomfort, but they VIII sit on their animals
like monkeys, with their knees drawn up and
with their reins clutched tight. and will fall
off on the slightest provocation. When
babies of 3, they are already in the saddle
and they are in it all their lives: but they
never receive any instruction. never know
what good, steady trot is, and never learn
70 keep firm on their horses back And, like
them. the Persian horses never receive any
training. The gait they are easiest to ride
the gallop-is their natural one. and they will
only quit that for brief spell in order TO
rest a little. You cannot get trot out OF 8
Persian horse unless you devote years and
years of patient training to il. Then, again,
they are all hard mouthed, and most OF them
shy at any unusual object or noise For all
that they have good deal of native intelli-
gence, and they are kind and afTectionate.
klcsers and biters are very rare among
them While in Arabia and Turkey mares
are universally ridden, in Persia il is the
stations alone that serves this purpose. Geld
