SCOTS Emulsion,

plished engineer? Because in an evli
hour he found his present employment
set before him, nothing to do but to add
up columns and strike balances or make
out bills-no exertion of thought. no
risk of failure, but a secure income
and he yielded to the temptation, the
result of which is the pursuit of a
monotonous ill-paid calling in which
there is no chance to rise.
1t is not because he works so much
harder than this man, or even than a
weaver, that great lawyer, engineer,
or railway superintendent is paid so
mucn more for days work. 1t is the
popularity of work of every kind, as
have already said. that a small addi-
ton to the experiences makes large
addition to the remuneration, and that
the higher the grade of work, the
more glazing is the difference. Daniel
Webster said TO young lawyer who
complained that the profession was
overcrowded: Young man, there is al
ways room enough at the top" At
the point Of skill at which only three
Or four men have reached, out of so
many hundreds. there will be little
competition and high pay. When
there are services which only one man
a Webster or an Edison-can per-
form, he can name his own price

Broken Hearts a Possibility.

Broken hearts have gone out of fash
ion with the old three-volume novel
and fainting spells. The girl with the
hurt in her heart nowadays forgets it,
or pretends to, in the glories of ca
reer. She takes to typewriting, or the
reformation of the coolies, or women's
clubs, and rather enjoys the pain in an
esthetic sort of way, because it means
growth" and is experience and all
that. Now with the perversity of fate
there has arisen a prophet in Israel
who justifies the old romancers in kill
ing off their disappointed heroines.
From the recently published letters of
Sir George Paget, who is not a ro-
mancer, it is interesting to learn that
broken heart is not sentimental
figure of speech. Great grief causing
a sudden shock produces actualrupture
of the muscles of that organ and death
from exhaustion may follow.

QUEER MIRRORS OF OLD.
Polished Metal Plates Used by Orientals
The Looking-Glasses of To-Day.

Polished Metal Plates Used by Orientals
The Looking Glasses of To-Day.
Looking-glasses of old were highly
polished metal plates. They were
small and provided with a handle.
Grand ladies intrusted their mirrors to
the care of female slave, whose duty
twas to keep them clean and free from
stain or rust, and hand them to her
mistress when the latter required them.
The Chinese and Japanese formerly
used mirrors made of simple metallic
plate The japanese had story of
the invention of the mirror. The sun
goddess, they said, once upon a time
got into great rage about something,
and retired to a cavern, vowing that
she would never come out again. AS
she was the mother of light her retire
The other gods and goddesses did all
they could in order to persuade her to
come out again, and finally invented a
mirror, which they placed at the en-
trance of the cave. The angry goddess
looked at it, and seeing, as she thought,
another goddess whose beauty was
equal to her own, emerged, mad with
jealousy, from her retreat, and the
land was once again illuminated by the
light of the sun.
Glass mirrors, says the Chicago Her
aid. are supposed to have been first
used in Sidon. Like almost everything
else, they were very dear for a long
time after their introduction. We read
in letter written in 1873 by Colbert to
Count AuvauX that even if mirrors had
been manufactured in France at that
time, nobody but the king would have
been rich enough to buy one. The an
nual manufacture in Europe at the
present time, according to the latest
statistics we have been able to get, is
something like one million eight hun
idred and fifty thousand square yards of
looking glass.
In the mirrors of to-day the light is
reflected by layer of silver or an ANAL
gam of tin, but proportion of light is
lost in the process of reflection and the
image is less luminous than the orig
inal. The value of looking glass is
usually estimated by the thickness of
the glass, because the thicker they are
the stronger they must be; but, speak
ing scientifically. thick glasses are de-
fective, because the outlines of the i'm
IRE reflected are less clearly defined
nere are really three reflections, and
,nsequently three images, in every
lass mirror; one from the upper sur
ace of the glass, the second from the
over surface and the third from the
metallic layer at the back. An ideal
mirror is one with a perfectly fat sur
face, but it is only possible to obtain
this result in comparatively small
glasses. The larger glasses do not re-
fleet a true image because it is not pos
sible to make them quite fat.
