PENNSYLVANIA IRON MILLS. g
The Rumor That They Will Soon Shut
Down Denied.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 1.-THE rumor
that the iron mills of this section would
shut down before long because the prices
now paid for manufactured products had
become so low that the mills are being
operated at loss, is denied by prominent
manufacturers. Opinions have been invited
from great many of the most prominent
men in the trade throughout tho
state. The general tenor Of their
expressions is that while there is
not much money in the business for them
there is still some profit and no idea is en-
tertained anywhere of general shut down.
Wherever that is done, it will be for ex-
ceptional causes and in exceptional cases.
Another very general sentiment is that the
prices for iron and iron manufactures have
touched bottom, and that the next change
will be toward better figures.

L. Smith, cashier Of the Norwood bank,
was alone in the building about noon when
Charles Phelps, postoffice clerk, entered

into the vault to get them when Phelps
quietly closed the door and turned tue
combination, locking the cashier
in. The robber then turned to the money
drawer and took all the paper money
that it contained, S278, leaving several hun
dred dollars in silver. The amount would
ordinarily have been much larger on Sat
urday, but business had been light that day
and the robbers booty was probably not
nearly so large as he had expected it to be.
Meanwhile, a customer entered the bank
and saw what had happened. He beard the
cashier calling 10 him from the vault, and
being instructed as to the combination, re-
leased him.

A mans occupation or condition has
a good deal to do with making his
facial expression. Intellectual pur-
suits, like studies or the scholarly pro-
fessions, when coupled with temperate
and moral habits of life. brighten the
face and give a person n superior look.
Magnanimity of nature or love of

may have face that does not please

Apple Charms.

In Scotland aud in England the ap-
pie is n very popular divining medium
in love matters. Part of this popular
ity is probably due to the common no
ton that the tree of knowledge of good
and evil was an apple tree. Horace
mentions the use of apple pips in love
affairs. A lover would take a pip be-
tween the finger aud thumb and shoot
it up to the ceiling, and if it struck 1t,
his or her wish would bc accomplished.
Nowadays the maiden tests the fidelity
of her beloved by putting pip in the
name. If the pip bursts with a report,
it is Ia sign thathe loves her; but should
it burn silently, she is convinced of his
want of true affection for her. This
is often performed with nuts instead of
pips. Gays Hobnclia experiments
with the pips by placing one on each
cheek, one for Lubberkin, and the other
for Boobyclod:
But Pcobyclod soon drops npoa tbs ground

amusement of pairing an apple without

der to see the initial letter of the lovers

takes upon tile ground. This is often
one of the many divinations duly

is for the curious maiden to stand be-
fore looking-glass combing her hair
with one hand and eating an apple

husband will then be seen in the glass,

Artificial Silk Worms.

said a Paterson silk manufacturer,
''that artificial silk may some time re-

probable that artificial methods will re-

out silken fabrics can be utilized by
putting them in chemical bath, which
separates foreign substances from the
silk itself. and saves the latter in So

fractional part of minute. The reader
is now required to do this part of the
publishers unfinished work. The Gus
tom is almost .'carly English" in its
origin, and dates as far back as the
time when the Englishman hadn't
many printed books, and was so proud
and careful of his periodical as to want

Il proof that no one had read it before
him. Two hundred and odd years ago
it was ''big thing" % have any kind
