MAKING GOLD THREAD.
An Interesting and Exceedingly Profitabl
English Industry.

An Interesting and Exceedingly Profitable
English Industry.
The silver is brought from the Bank
of England in cakes weighing about
one thousand ounces. To secure the
necessary degree of tenacity certain
proportion of copper is added, and the
alleged metal. in the form of cylindrical
bars, is next thoroughly heated. The
hammering process follows, and the
bars, originally about two feet in
length and two inches in diameter, but
now half as long again and proportion
ately thinner, are in the: next place
filed and rubbed until their surfaces
are perfectly even. What we may call
the second part of the process begins
with the laying on of leaf after leaf OF
gold in the proportion of two per cent.
Afterward each bar is wrapped in paper
and we'll heated in a charcoal fire. A
sort of vice stands ready, and in it, bar
after bar as it comes from the fire, is
fixed and thoroughly FURNISHED. All
trace of it's silver original has now dis
appeared, and the bar is ready for con.
version into wire. This is accomplished
by drawing it from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty times through ever
diminishing holes in steel plates; and
finally, when the capabilities of this
metal have been exhausted, through
apertures in diamonds, rubies, or sap.
phires. The delicate wire thus obtained
must now be passed through the stee,
rollers of one of Herr Krupp's little
''hattiag mills This brings us to the
final process-the spinning of the fat
tened wire round silk, to form the
golden thread of commerce. These
spinning machines are worked by
water, although two steam engines are
to be found in the factory; for water
power is considered to be more regular
and even in it's action. There is 9
small home demand for the round wire
for the adornmento of epaulets, etc.; but
the bulk of the manufactured article
finds its way in the shape of silky gold
thread to India and the far East gen.
orally, where it is converted by skilled
native labor into those gorgeous cloths
and tissues in which the heart of the
Oriental delights. What wonderful
property does gold possess in its NAL
Liability It is asserted that every
ounce of the bars whose fortunes we
have followed with no little interest:
each containing only two per cent. Of
gold, will run to the length of from SOC
yards to $500 yards, and the amazing
figure Of 5000 yards is on record. Thi:
latter thread would be finer than hui

OUTWARD MOURNING,
Tho Custom Of Wearing Grape for Long
Periods Falling Into Disuso.

10rlOUS CAlun& xnCO Dt8OSos
We go through a great deal of false
sentiment and false politeness in tho
matter OF our funeral ceremonies and
our mourning attire. In the youthful
days OF our present sexagenarians the
mark of mourning "a piece of black
Grape around the sleeve of a colored
coat-was reserved for the army only.
Army and navy officers alone might
make this modest manifestation stand
in lieu of the glossy sables and deep
hat-bands of civilians. There was a
howl, as we'll as sheer, when these
civilians adopted the military custom,
and on the sleeve of q: .colored coat
stitched black band to denote the
death of a dear friend or near relation.
How]s and sneers Notwithstanding, the
custom gained ground, and is now rec
ognized, adopted and approved of.
There are many who set their faces
against the excessive mourning of by
gone attire. No longer do all widows
even think it necessary to clothe them
selves in Grape, and the lifelong obi
cation of the widows cap, like the life
long obligation of the widows black,
is at an end. Those who like to cling
to the ancient methods have their will
and do their pleasure, but those who
do not-those who carry death in their
hearts and do not care to show it to the
world-or those who really are not
deeply afflicted dispense with
mourning altogether, if they have the
mind. Simple black answers all the
purpose, and the term for this is great
ly curtailed. We no longer feel that
we owe it to the memory of the dear
dead to make ourselves uncomfortable,
and to spend money on mere show-oa
mere signs and symbols-to crafty the
watching world. Deep in our hearts
we bear the sacred image-we keep
alive the holy flame. We have loved
that noble man, that pure-souled woman
the father, the husband, the glorious
brother, the mother who bore US, and
the sister who was our cradle
playmate. We have loved for all
our life; we shall love to the
hour of death. But need we then
clothe ourselves in Grape and wooden,
and mark ourselves "Bereaved' as by
a placard pinned. to our breast? Far
better and more suitable-aye, and
sometimes far more sincere, too-the
undemonstrative acceptance of the in
evitable-the quiet cherishing of secret
sorrow-the close concealment of the
sacred love. The sorrow lies there,
and we do not wish to show it to the
world as a beggar unfolds his sore.
We do not wish to be questioned nor
condoled with. Who can comfort us?
No one! What good does it do US or
the world to haunt our grief in Grape
and weepers in the face of the curious,
the unsympathetic, the critical? Too
much or "too little''-''too soon left
off, or "too long kept on" fashion
too smart for mourning' or 1.-The depth
ridiculous for the OCCASION" DO we
want to run the gauntlet of all our
dead friends criticisms? Far better

That Is Why Two Young Men Now Ian
guish in Bridgeton Jail.
MILLyILLE, N. j., March l, 1SS9.-Harry
York and Andrew Creamer are languish-
ing in the Bridgeton Jail for having
threatened the life of Jarvis Clark, a
farmer of Belle Plain, who recently
eloped with Nellie York, the fi~fteen-year-
old sister of Harry.
Nellie, who is q pretty brunette, had nu-
merous admirers, and among the young
men who paid her marked attentions were
Andrew Dreamer and Walter Camp.
These young men became jealous when
Jarvis Clark began to pay attention to the
girl. Clark had been married twice,
and the York family were strongly
opposed to Mellie's receiving his atten-
tions. The York family live at Steelman-
town, and when the couple eloped her
brother Harry and her two rejected lovers,
Creamer and Camp, started in pursuit,
armed with shotguns. They traced
the couple to Clark's house in
Belle Plain, but Clark and Nellie had
gone to Melleville to get married. The
hopeless before reaching Mlilville 1T is
alleged that they threatened to shoot
Clark on sight.
Clark heard of this and procured war
rants for the arrest of his pursuers, and
Sheriff Chambers arrested York and
Dreamer, but could not find Camp.
The elder York hurriedly drove to
Millville. When he arrived there
Clark and his daughter had been married.
This did not deter him from compelling
his daughter to return home with him.
He contends that if a marriage ceremony
had been performed, it was not legal, as
the girl was under age.
