FROM POVERTY TO WEALTH.
How the shcfieids Lived Before Their
Xindfail.
New York Worll.l

The villagers in New Rochelle are still
talking about the phenomenally good luck
which has come TO Mrs. Harriet Sheffield,
who through the death OF an uncle in far
away Montana mas inherited $4,000.
This money could hardly have come TO
any one more IN need than Mrs. Sheffield
and her husband, for they were very poor
indeed and were ottentmes hard pressed
to obtain even the necessarles OF life.
Mrs. Shcfields husband, Frederick Shelf
field, is the son of "a carpenter at New
Rochelle. The elder Sheffield has always
been a sober, industrious wOrkmen. lie
had two sons. The elder, Gerardus, start
ed Us clerk in Il dry-gOods store, learned
the business, branched out for himself,
and Is now prosperous. The younger son,
Frederick. however, has always been sort
of jack of all trades He started 10 fol-
low his fathers trade, but was not success
full. He wac not dissipated, had no bad
habits. but was simply one OF those men
who never seem 10 fit III anywhere and who
are always in financial straits. Several
years age. while working on job IN Con
necticut. he met the woman he afterwards
married and who has now brought him Il
fortune. He took her - New Rochelle.
She was a widow with two children, and
was about ten years older than her nus
band, who is now about thirty. she, how
ever. has done her full share towards sup
porting the family. She has made laces
and fancy articles in yorsted, and has gone
about the village peddlIug them. The cou-
Die lived in Il miserable part Of the town,
where only the very poor reside. The nus
hand has worked at almost anything he
could get to do. Last summer ho served
a. q waiter mt Glen Island.
A year or so ago the Salvation Army
started in TO reform the town. Sheffield
and his wife joined the ranks and partici-
pated IN all their services. Quite recently
Mrs. Sheffield hes been trying to get ia local
dress-maker TO take her two daughters rs
apprentices, a. she was anxious TO have
them learn trade. SO that they won Id not
be placed in the same position she had
been. Now the daughters may find en-
plovment for the drcss-maker unless they
seek the more fashionable nl0diSteS of the
metropolis.

An Automatic Tin-Type Machine.


The latest development of the penny au-
tomato delivery-box is q machine for
taking portraits, which will shortly be COM
peting in railway stations and other pubic
places with the sweetmeat- and cigarette,
machines. The person 10 be photographer
takes his stand IN front Of the lens. with
his back to post or rail fixed at distance
of three feet from the machine, and al,
justs himself so that bis full face shall
be reflected in the mirror. With his lett
hand he then puts penny in the slot,
and remains motionless for five seconds.
when the sound of bell announces that
the impression is complete. Intorty seconds
more the finished photograph. on metal
plate, drops through the delivery mole on
TO a small shelf, and the process is conf
plete. An extra halfpenny will procure o
suitable frame. but this luxury is optional.
The impressions resemble those OF the
cheap glass positive photographs. only that
tin-plate is substituted for glass. The me-
chanism Is at present a secret. but the
principle appears to be that of rotary
arm. which carries the plate through So
ries Of chemical baths till the impression Is
developed and fixed.
