The Japanese as Metal Workers.

The japanese are masters in the
treatment of alloys, both in texture
and color, and no better guides exist.
They achieve their grand results bv
the simplest means, judIcious blend
ing of the various metals, inlaying
and picking. Copper is the basis
of their chief alloys, and by incor-
porating with it certain proportions
of gold and silver they obtain re-
markable results in color through the
picking process.
But not only do they get striking
effects from their alloys and picking

ais is thing to be studied. For in
stance, they will take six or. seven
plates of different metals and allows.
weld them together and by drilling,
punching and filling, get a surface
in which all the metals show in a
manner which is trn!y wonderful.
By the range of tints at their COM
mand they can work out on a metal
surface scenes of animal life, land
scape, ETC., with an effect never
dreamed of by metal workers in the
Western world. Among some eX-
amples recently shown in England,
says Fabric and Fancy Goods, was
knife handle on which was a repre-
sentation of duck dipping its head
under the water of stream on which
it was swimming, the arrangement
of the different alloys Of which it was
composed, and the picking being so
well arranged that the neck of the
duck was seen as if under the water
when the handle was held in GER
tain light. Another example was a
sword hilt, on which some minnows,
not more than one-sixteenth of an
inch in length, and each having
pair of gold eyes, were swimming up
a gray stream, the effect of their be-
ing actually below the water being
with marvellous skill.

Of all the girls who work in facto-
ries, the young woman of the silk
mill is the brightest looking, the best
clad, and usually the prettiest. You
could hardly believe, if you saw her
in the street after the day is done, or
on Sunday or holiday, that she had
stood all the long day on her feet, ply
ing her hands, her thought, her eye,
and her ear being increasingly on the
alert. She is smartly and genteelly
dressed. She has jaunty, bright
air, her laughter is a ripple, and the
demure consciousness in her roguish
eye tells you that she knows it all.
She can well afford to dress her.

pable her average weekly earning will
not fall below So An experienced
girl, with quick hands, and in whose
skill the employer can place conf
dence, will make from $14 to SIS per

She will come to work demurely in
the morning as young nun, and she
will trip out at lunch without a word,

''lady FRIEND" but in the evening,
when the wheels and shufiies cease
their clatter, you will find that she
has her tryst right at the very door
of the mill and how proud and hap

walks away with her toward her

There is a strong kind of the high

They believe that no occupation on
the earth is superior to theirs; their
personal conduct is the highest, and
they delight in the good name of all
their companions.

Too often the first thought of a
mother over the cradle of a little
child, especially if it be a girl, is
how to steer and trim her little bark
so that at the proper age she may
float upon the serene seas of social
success. The schemes, and devices,
and worries of young mothers in
New York to achieve this end, the
complication in which they involve
themselves, and the energy which
they expend to control or to inter-
fere with the affairs of school in
matters of which they have no knowl-
edge or skill, would be amusing were
it not so pitiful. While they talk of
anxiety and interest for the education
of their children, it is this meretri-
cious end alone which many parents
are seeking. The teacher receives
their children with the knowledge
that her best work will never be APP
preciated.

HAPPINESS. This forever looking
forward for enjoyment don't pay.
From what we know of it, we would
as soon chase butterflies for a living,
or bottle up moonshine for cloudy
nights. The only true course is to
take the drops of happiness as God
gives them to us, every day of our
lives. The boy must learn to be
happy when he is Flooding over his
lessons; the apprentice when he is
learning his trade; the merchant
while he is making his fortune. If
he fails to learn this art, he will be
sure to miss his enjoyment when he
gains what he signs for.

Watching the Clothes.

dog; and off they ran down the
sands.
Fred never went anywhere without

Counting the Gold of the Year

Poor, do you say: hear me count up

For thus do rhymers count the years.

To scatter, rs with lavish hand,

Or bid the cowslip to unfold
Her glossy leaves by pool and brook,
Or dainty yellow violet look

Did We not come with power to thrill
The saddest heart among US all?
And June's deep, golden lilies tall,
Waving in south winds dreamily,
Beloved of humming bird and bee.
There is bank my heart doth love;
Wild birds sing free its slopes above,
And "money plant" with yellow flowers,
AS if the stars had droDt in showers,
All summer long, in perfect bloom,
Trails lightly DER the moss green gloom,
And graceful lady slippers bow
Their lovely heads, when there 1 go.
All summer too, the beauties bright
That deck my garden, court the light;
There golden coreOpsis sway,
And shy eschscholtzia, as day
Trails off behind the grand old hills,
Her cup with its last glory fills;
Then till once more she greets its rays,
Folds velvet leaves to shun your gaze,
And pale buff holly hooks there grow
Stately, beside the currant row.

Ere shaken bv the swift north breeze,

Must erst the gems of earth outshine.
Vanished! you say. L tell you no.
The gifts of Nature fade not so.
You lose, ofttimes, your spended gold,
But these are mine, to have and hold;
What things so bless the outer eye,

The gold that bounteous Nature pourS
For each from her unfailing stores;
So, never poor, while this is mine,
And poor, indeed, when it shall shine
No more for me. 1 count with cheer
