Nickel is used almost universally not
only for the purposes Of ornamentation,
but on exposed metals to prevent rust and
wear For the latter purposes it has super
seeded all others because it is more durable
and more easily kept clean. For purposes
of ornamentation because it is harder and
more durable and wears better than silver
besides being much cheaper and quicker
done. The details of its use are almost in
Vulnerable, being used on iron, brass ant
copper for ornamentation on household ar
ticles furniture and furniture trimmings
saddlery hardware, watch cases and watcf
movements; in fact, its uses are universal
Nickel plating is done by the application
of a solution of nickel metal, which in thii
country is found principally in the mines
at Texas, in Lancaster county, Pa, and il
the Lake Superior region. 1t is shipped il

UnluckY DAYS.

Many people are superstitious about "un-
lucky'i days and places until some occa-
sion arises that makes them ardently de
sire to do something on a. unlucky day or
in an unlucky place, and then their curl
ositv or cupidity makes them forget their
superstition. A circumstance at the great
Paris exposition of 1899 well illustrated
this fact. The receipts at the exhibition
were much smaller on Fridays than they
were on other days. The average number
of people attending was smaller by some
Is COO on this than on other days Of the
week. On one Friday the admissions fell
off to about 10000, which was the smallest
number admitted on any one day during
the exhibition.
But on certain other Friday the admis
sions rose to more than 100000 and ths
halls were crowded. The days attendance
was one Of the largest during the entire ex
bibition. What was it that made the Pa
risians and their visitors forget their su
perstitions for at least one Friday It wa
the occasion of the first visit of the shah o
Persia. 1t might be bad luck in the opin
ION of many thousands of people to star
out to go to the exhibition on Friday, bu
/ the visit Of potentate who called bimsel
the "kin1 Of kings" and wore "A coat quilt
/ ed with diamonds helped these peopl
/ greatly to forget their foolish fear. 70

Enect OF Electricity on Telegraph Lines

Effect of Electricity on Telegraph Lines.
For number of years exhaustive in
formation on electricity in storms, with
special regard to the influence Of atmos-
pheric electricity ON the telegraph service
and on telegraph apparatus, has been col
lected by the imperial telegraph depart
ment, Berlin. At present 800 telegraph
offices have instructions to keep a record
Of the course, duration, direction, ETC., of
storms. From the observations made it
appears that, while not altogether free
from the influence of atmospheric electrici-
ty, such influence is materially smaller in
the case of underground wires compared
with wires above ground.
| In 1898 33S Interruptions from storms
were observed in underground wires, and
| in the above ground wires 2,375 cases Of in
jury were reported. In regard to town
telephone wires, it is worthy of remark
that, notwithstanding the violence OF
several of the storms in the towns having
telephone system, the accidents from
lightning compared with former years
were strikingly few, and the assumption
| does not, therefore, appear to be without
justification that the wires spread over the
| roofs afford effective protection in equaliz
ing atmospheric electricity Electrical En-

RlpENED WHEAT.

We bent today DER coftined form,
And our tears fell softly down;
We looked our last on the aged face,
with its smiles of peace, Its patient grace,
And hair like silver crown.
We touched our own TO the clay cold hands,
From life's long labor at rest
And among the blossoms white and sweet,
We noticed bunch OF golden wheat
Clasped close 10 the silent breast.
We know not what work her hands had found,
What rugged places her feet
What cross was hers, what blackness Of night
We saw but the peace, the blossoms white,
And the bunch Of ripened wheat
AS each goes up from the field OF earth,
Bearing the treasures Of life,
God looks for some gathered grains Of good
From the ripe harvest that shining stood,
But waiting the reaper's knife.
Then labor well, that in death you go
Not only with blossoms sweet;
Not bent with doubt and burdened with fears
And the dead, dry husks Of wasted years,
But laden with golden wheat.

The Paris Butcher Boys Apron.

From the dimmest era, now lost III OBJ
security, the Paris butcher boy has worn a
uniform betokening the trade of which he
is invariably cheerful ornament. The
apron he wears is most curious affair, and
he himself must be regarded as tho aristo-
crat of apron wearers, for he sports no less
than three aprons Mt once Two OF these
aprons are apparently superfiuous, as they
are rolled up and fastened at each side; the
third is worn in front and held III place
across the breast by string made into a
peculiar knot at the back.
Whenever you see this odd knot you may
be assured butchers apprentice has tied
it. The method of making it requires as
delicate manipulation as does the success
full arrangement of the white necktie, and
our gallant butcher boy takes as much
pains with its construction as any swell
dressing for ball. It's tying Isl profound
secret, and no matter what inducement you
offer he won't disclose it-you must become
a butcher boy to find it out. With his
fresh, white aprons ruddy complexion and
closely cropped hair-for never by any
chance does he wear hat during the func
tions of his office-the butcher boy is by
no means an upappetizing object-Wid'

70 them rheumatism and Indigestion are
the prerogatives of wealth, and they worry
but little about either.
The few men and philosophers who are
at present in the business do not make
princely fortunes. AS Bernard Gerdes ex-
pressed it, there was only the difference OF
working for some one else at Sl5 week or
being your own boss on the same terms.
As matter of curiosity, a visit to the
gardens, which extend from Ninetieth to
Ninety-fourth street, will repay the time
expended. The Boulevard serves as their
eastern limit, and the apex of the BLUM
overlooking the Hudson holds the last
trench. AS viewed from either Motifs or
Dan Sickles' lane, nature and progress are
brought face to face. A six story hat house
extends along two hundred feet OF well
paved street with rear doors opening upon
the waving tops Of marketable greens.
Straw filled frame covers" lean against
granite underpinning. Daintily dressed
women part lace curtains only to look out
upon their farmer sisters parting the weeds
from marketable produce. Who shall say
which is the happierf
Looking west from Ninety-third street

ers can be seen rising in CLASSY undulationS

An interesting bit of family history was
brought to light in Clerk Birchard's Office.
Mrs A. M. Cook presented the incomplete
naturalization papers of her father, desir-
ing their completion, as she has a claim
against the United States government, and
it is required by law that she take out nat
uralization papers she having been born
in England. Her father, Jasper Fletcher,
took ont his first papers in Cambridge,
His, in 1861, but before taking out his sec
ond papers he started overland for Califor-
MIA, and while on the way the party was
attacked by Indians. The mother was
killed, and the father, Mrs. Cook, then
Mary Fletcher, girl of IA, and her 2-year'
old sister taken prisoners. Mr.. Fletcher
afterward escaped. the elder daughter 5 lib
erty was bought, while the younger sister
il alive, is still a captive OF the lndiaas

he died, and the second papers were never
