THE PRODUCTION OF coLORS.

Oxide Of uranium mixed with oxide Of
lead produces straw color
Carrline color when used for tender porce-
lain, is prepared with Illuminating gold and
muriate OF silver
By the mixture of red and black oxide Of
iron in different proportions various shades
Of reddish brown are obtained.
A very permanent red color is produced
by calcining the oxide of iron with double its
own weight Of commercial salt
Purple and violet colors are produced by
dissolving gold in aqua rega nitro muriatic
acid and immersing bar Of pure tin in the
solution.
Oxide Of manganese is used for black color
The best black, however, is obtained by the
combination of manganese, brown oxide Of
copper and oxide of cobalt.
Red oxide of iron, prepared by the united
action of fire and nitric acid. yields red
color which, although beautiful is less brill
liant than that produced from gold.
For the production of blue, well prepared
oxide Of cobalt is used, mixed with flux.
Oxides Of tin and zinc, added in different pro-
portions, give different shades. from a deep
req 70 ihHt blue
Green oxide of copper is generally employed
for the production Of green colors. OXIDE Of
chromium is also a beautiful green colcr,
which is, however, destructible under the
heat of a porcelain oven.
Shades of red, deepening from rose color,
and passing from the increasing application
Of heat to brown, are obtained from iron.
The fiux emuloyed with this oxide is COM
posed of borax, sand and a small portion Of
red lead. The soloring may be used either
with or without previous fusion with the fiux.
To Obtain yellow colors, white oxide Of an
timony, mixed with sand and oxide Of lead
are employed, the latter substance serving as
a flux To the others. Oxide of tin is some
times added when the color is required to 10
livelier The colors are not susceptible of
change, but if exposed to the full heat of
porcelain furnace would be entirely destroyed

soMEraINo Foa THE LADIES.
How GIRLS MAY SUCCEED.

Some Of you are out in the world earning
your own living; you have bad to do 1t to
help some body at home ~ well as to take
care of yourself. You are up on high
stool looking at tiresome figures in black
and white you are ringing out the changes
of letter or Law deed on typewriter !;
you are standing behind counter catering
to the whms and wants Of thousands Of
people, or you are working away reading
proof and wondering why people don't
write plainly. But no matter what you are
doing. you will rever succeed in this world
and you will be Of no worth to the people
who employ you anless you do the very
best you can. Do it for your own sake
Don't slight any work, no matter how poor
il may seem to you-the work becomes
great and noble the very second that you
put great and noble determination into it.
OF course, you get tired, but every time
you feel the tired feeling coming over you,
stop, Just for q minute give the eyes or the
hand rest and remember that the work
done in the right spirit is the only work ht
to offer to God Himself, and that's the way
and that's the spirit in which you ought u
~ork.
BY doing the best you can. by being just
a. patient as you can. your work Is certain
to receive recognition, and that may mean
more money and less work to you, because
after q while the toll that seems so harl at
tirst is going from mere force of habit to
become easier, and you yourself, by doing
good work. are already smoothing out the
pathway of the future. Make the druid
gerry divine, but don't cali it drulgery. Do
whatsoever your hands find to do with a
glad heart and willing spirit. ard don't think
that you are the only woman in the world
who has to work hard to earn her daily
bread. but be thankful that God has given
you the ability with which to do it. Write
out this little verse AMI put it in your
pocketbook, and once in q while look at il :
Hope on, hope ever, though to-day be dark
The sweet sun burst will smile on thee to-mor-
row.
Though thou Art lonely there's an eye will mark
Thy lone illness and sweeten all thy sorrow.
Though thou must toll 'mong cold and sordid men
With none to echo back thy thought. or love
thee,
Hope on, sweet heart thou dost not work in vain
For God is over ali. and Heaven above thee"

SOMETHING FOR TIE CHILDREN.

LEGEND OF The LILIES
Did you ever hear the story of the lovely
mountain lily?
Once upon time there was a sweet and
gentle maiden who was named Alice. She
lived with her mother in a small cottage at
the foot of the Hartz Mountains, in Ger
many.
Alice had no father, and her mother was
growing old; so she had to work hard
for enough to provide for their wants
Every morning she would leave her
home and 60 up in the mountains to pick
the forest straw. as it was called, or
the pine needles and 6r cones. from the
evergreens that covered the mountain-sides
One morning she was working and sing
ing the sweet. old-time hymns of the people.
She was as happy As the birds that chirped
and fiuttered around her. when suddenly
she heard the sound of the hunters horn,
the bAying of the dogs and the shouts of
men, and lot of hunters came riding up
on their gallant horses.
They stopped Ahen they saw the lovely
girl, and one Of them said: my little
maiden, tell me your name" She blu.hed,
but told him-and he fingered by her side
and talked with her. while the rest went on
their way. When he left her he gave her
4 rose, and told her she would see him
again.
Somehow she did not like to tell her
mother about this meeting. But the next
morning-sure enough As she worked, and
thought all the time about the noble
stranger, 10! there he stood beside her.
This time he came alone. He talked
with her long time, and when they parted
he gave her costly ring and begged her
to 60 with him to live in his great castle
for it va. Rudolf. the Lord of Castle Els
burg. and he tried with all kinds Of tempt
ing words to win her love.
She ran home and told her mother, and
the widow begged her child to go no more
to the place where she had met the hand
some stranger, for, she said, many a fair
maid had been cosxed by the cruel lord
to go to the strong fortress and, when
there, was shut up in the dungeon, and
never seen again by family OF friends.
Poor Ali e, All she could do TO sun
tine wicked lord wa, to hide herself in the
convent. But when Lord Rudolf heard
what she had done, his anger Was some
thing terrible
He went with band Of soldiers, stormed
the convent walls, tore open the iron door,
and, seizing poor Alice in his strong arms,
carried her. almos; dead with frigh', up to
his gloomy Castle of Elsberg
1t was in the dead of night, Just hen one
day dies and another is born The maiden
~ept and prayed, and called on haven for
aid, when suddenly baud Of fairies, clad
in snowy garments, came floating in from
the mountain tops, and, snatchinR her away
from the cruel lord, they bore her Of in
triumph.
With cry of rage he sprans to hold her
back and 10. in her place stood beauti- |
full snow-~hite lily And through the open
window he heard sweet voices singing
The lily fair in the morning air,
Will give you delight
Its charms 40 rare on cannot ensnA.e,
Or twill fade away in the night
And every year the fair white lily blooms
in the early summer, AMI when the noun
tain people see it, they say to each other
See, here is the sweet Lily Maiden. "-E.

HOW SOME ANIMALS EAT.

food by suction
Spiders chew their food with horny jaws,
which are sharp enough to give quite a nip.
The jelly fish absorbs its food by wrapping
itself around the object which it seeks TO
make its own.
The tapeworm has neither mouth nor stom-
ach, but just lays along and absorbs the al
ready digested food through its skin
The butterfly pumps nectar iuo itself
through tube, and bees and flies sack up
their food with long tongue or a proboscis
The woodpecker has three barbed tongue
like Fijian's spear. with which it draws
out the worm which it has excited by it's tap
ping.
The starflsh fastens itself to the BODY 1t
wishes to feed on, turns its stomach inside
out. and envraps its prey with this useful
organ.

things always walks with its head downward,
