TOMATOES PACKED 40 YEARS AGO

Mr.. John w. BucklIn is well known
New Jersey packer of tomatoes, and he
was tomato packer forty years ago.
In 1851. he put up case of tomatoes,
boxed it, and marked it, "Not to be
opened and eaten until the year of
grace, 1891" Mr.. Bucklin lived to
preside at the tomato feast that marked
the opening OF these tomatoes, a few
in perfect condition, and greatly en-
joyed by all persent. The wood case
in which the tin cans were packed had
crumbIed away, through dry rot, but
the tins and their contents were in per-
feet condition. A local chronicler of
the facts above given, says; "Mr.
John Bucklin, the gentleman who
conspicuously figures in connection
with the above is, as may be surmised,
alive and well. His recent dissipation
in eating canned tomatoes forty wears
of age did not kill him. The gentle
man Is not only alive, out very much
alive, tor he is enjoving the best Of
health, and is still packing and still eat
ing tomatoes as he used to do just forty
years ago. All of which would 60 to
prove that, if canned tomatoes are not
essential to health, they can be eaten
with impunity, and with appetite and
relish for ever and aye without hurt or
or harm. Mr.. John Bucklin, now hale
and vigorous in his eighty fourth year,
is living testimony to that fact"

THE SILVER IN THE DOLLAR.

A correspondent IS informed that the
intrinsic value of the material of which
a dollar is made makes the greatest
possible difference in its real value.
There is no need to put "promise to
paw" dollar on a piece of silver worth
100 cents in gold. Such piece pays
a dollar wherever 1t goes. OF course
a promise to pay written or such
piece would have more chance of b
Ing kept than would like prom
written on paper or on piece Of
worth only SO cents. A good doll;
must be understood, is not pro
to pay a dollar. 1t dispenses
promises. A promise by a respor
person to pay 100 cents worth OF
would under the most favorable
cumstances be worth dollar,
would not be a dollar. The true
lar is IN itself, intrinsically, wortl
cents in the standard money ms
the world-gold. 1t is not the
ent idea of free coinage that it
simply buying pure silver with
containing alloy. The amount
is not in question at all. The gu
is as to the worth OF the silv,
the dollar. WlS.

THE MANUFACTURE Of MIRRORS.

Probably few of those who find the
mirror SO essential an article IN the
home know that its manufacture IS one
of the most closelyguarded secrets in
the industrial world. 1t is asserted on
high authority that simple as would
seem the few processes required, even
those who have worked for years on
one portion OF the production know
nothing of the other branches. There
are but few manufactures IN the
country in fact, in all the great manu-
featuring region lying between New
York and Chicago but one firm pro-
duces plate glass mirrors. So closely
IS the secret OF fine mirrormaking kept.
it is said, that many of the most valua-
bic processes are not even covered by
patent, the procuring OF which would
be attended with more or less publicity,
even in those cases where patent might
legally be claimed, and the knowledge
lives close locked in the breasts of but
very few people in the whole country.
The plate glass which is used for MIR
rors must of course be OF the choicest
description, as the slightest flaw would
be fatal. 1t is taken in the unfinished
form to the factory, where it is cut,
bevelled, polished, and silvered. The
time required in the manufacture has
been greatly shortened by the recent
DEVELOPMENTS of the art of working, so
that what only few years ago required
nearly a month in the accomplishment
may now be completed within single
day. The bevels are cut, first by action
sand and water followed by the emery
wheel, which is the last stage open to
the public inspection till the polishing,
through several additional processes,
has been completed. But it is in the
silverlng that the most delicate and
important steps are taken, as the most
carefully prepared glass is valueless If
the silvering be anywhere defective.
Formerly the back of the glass was
coated with mercury, or quicksilver,
from which the name of the process
was derived but the name is now even
more true, since the backs of fine MIR
rors are generally coated with sheets OF
pure siIver-or it would be more
proper to say that they are backed with
a plate of silver. This is great i'm
provement in many ways, to say moth
inp of the economy in the use of quick
silver. Not few good housewives
will recall how provoking it has been
to find that a patch of the coating had
peeled from the mirror in the "spare
room," the loss not beng discovered
till a valued and perhaps slightly crltlca
guest was expected as an occupant tor
that very room, and when there was nc
time, and perhaps not the means, to
replace the now worthless looking-glass
This cannot happen, of course, wher
the backing is solid sheet Of metal
Another advantage IS in the greater
reflective powers ut the pure silver az
now prepared. Formerly a reflection
of two thirds the light received was
