Two Fresh Air Boys.

Among the fresh air children from
New York at one of the western Penn
sylvania mountain towns was bright
faced but sickly looking boy. He had
never seen 80 much greenness before
nor shifted into his snub nose so much
fresh air, and while he seemed to enjoy
it all he did not show so much enthusi-
asm as the other children. He was no.
ticed by the kind hearted farmer at
whose house he was staying, and by a
few adroit questions his story was
Z learned. He wanted his little brother
Billy to be with him, he said.
Billy had one fresh air visit, but he
was sick and ought to have another. He
had wanted the man in New York to let
Billy come again in his place, but the
man thought Billy's brother needed the
outing more than Billy. The farmer
could not resist the appeal, so he wrote
to New York and at his own expense
had Billy brought on. When the time
was up, the farmer and his good wife
concluded to take the boys as their own,
and the New York parents being not
loath the arrangement was made. And
that is how two fresh air children got
mountain homes. es.--New York Recorder.

Women Iron Workers.

The importance which several art
classes gave last winter to the designing
and serious study of ornamental iron
work shows that another new field has
opened for the woman worker, and that
there are few occupations left in which
she has not finger in the pie.
During the Italian exhibition in Lon
don a number Of very charming things
in hammered ironwork were shown,
such as vases, lanterns, hinges, locks,
etc, and their simple construction fired
the ambition of a few artistic women to
make an attempt to reproduce some of
the examples shown.
Their attempts met with so much sue
cess that q perfect craze for the work be-
gan.
Most of the fashionable amateurs nat
urally took up only the lighter form, the
''bent ironwork." This requires but a
few simple tools and no forge, with con
sequently an absence of CRIME.
''Bent ironworl" became immensely
popular in England in little while, and
as the simpleS articles made from it are
desirable, that which originated as fad
of the moment has developed into a
means of making money.-New York
Press.
