"Seven and Six"

English newspapers, in the days
when advertisements were heavily
taxed, published the titles OF books
reviewed In their columns, but never
the prices, because the Excise Office
held that an annexed price was an
advertisement, and as such taxable.
The custom continued tor long time
after the tax on advertisements had
been removed.
a. The London newspapers also made
a distinction between simple notice
of a death, tor which they charged
five shllings, and brief obituary,
for which they demanded seven and
sixpence.
one day Dr. Thomas Hume, a grave,
satirical London doctor, called at the
ONCE Of morning journal and
silently placed upon the counter the
announcement OF the death Of "a
friend, together with five shillings.
The clerk glanced at the paper, tossed
it to one side and said, grutly,
Seven and SIX"
Il have frequently" answered
Hume, had oc aston TO publish these
simple notices, and l have never be-
fore been charged more than five
shillings."
Simple" repeated the clerk, with
out looking up. There's an added
line, universally beloved and deeply
regretted isn't there? Seven and
six"
Hume produced the additional half
crown and laid il deliberately by the
others, observing in his most solemn
tone, Congratulate yourself, sir,
that this is an expense which your
executors will never be put to-"

Lutes and MaudOlins.

The late is supposed TO be origin
ally a Persian instrument, and IL was
during the middle ages that IL was
first known in Europe, where IL be-
came great favorlte. Poets sang
It's praises; SHAKESPEARE puts iutes in
the hands OF many OF his heroines.
This beautiful instrument Is now
out OF use, and all the specimens in
existence are very old. The differ
ence between the lutte and the guitar
is principally in the body, which in
the Lutte is pear-shaped. This made
IL a very delicate instrument and
troublesome TO keep in order, as the
peculiar shape made the wood warp
aud crack. An English writer, early
in the seventeenth century, recon-
mends that the Lutte be kept in a bed
covered up from the air. when not in
use, and he says that with very good
luck the body will not need TO be re-
paired more than once a year; and a
famous French lutenist, as Lutte
player was called, declared that it
cost him as much 10 keep his lutte as
it would TO keep horse. 1t is no
wonder that lutes went out OF use.
In "Evelyn's Diary" it Is stated
that lutes OF that period were made
mostly IN Germany and that they
were very costly. An old lutte Of
rich, mellow tone would sometimes
be valued as high as El00.
The mandolin is similar I'm shape
to the Lutte, but it is a very much
smaller instrument IL has been a
favoriJe in Italy and Spain for CEN
turies, and 1t Is now very popular in
America. 1t is beautiful little in

The Atlanta Constitution observes
An interesting plan is under discus
sion in the Legislature of the colony
Of Victoria, Australia, for the relief Of
farmers who wish to borrow money
on their land. The Savings Bank
Commissioners are to be authorized
to "assist producers" by lending them
money to the amount of half the value
Of their land, under n plan by which
borrowers will repay principal and
five per cent. interest in extended
half-yearly installments. The Com
missioners would be recouped by four
per cent. mortgage bonds, issued
locally and guaranteed by the Govern
ment.

HOW WIRE is MADE.

A Very Interesting and Unique Mechan-
icai Process.
The rod is received by the wire
drawer in the form Of coil, the rod
being OF varying section and the coil
OF weight depending upon the pur.
pose for which IL is intended. one
end OF the rod is pointed and some.
what reduced by machinery. The
coil Is then given bath in mild acid
TO remove all oxidation, afterward
washed in lime water TO give draw
ing surface, and is finally dried in a
proper oven. When ready for draw
ing, the pointed rod is inserted IN
one Of the holes OF drawing plate.
This plate is generally of steel, but
some factories use cast iron. The
drawing holes are cOnical and the rod
is inserted from the larger end. On
the othe" side of the plate the
pointed end is seized by power pncers
and pulled until enough has been
drawn through TO allow OF its being
passed around and fastened to a drum
or reel which is driven by power.
or course, the rod is reduced In area
and much elongated, and this with
out any perceptible loss OF metal.
While passing through the plate il is
kept fabricated with what IL called
wire drawers soap or grease. After
being drawn through this first hole
IL is put through series OF smaller
ones until IL has been brought down
TO the requisite size. But the COM
preston and disturbance OF the struc-
ture OF the rod consequent upon these
reductions has hardened it so much
that at certain stages it is necessary
to stop the process and soften the
metal by annealing After this il is
again washed in acid, etc, and the
drawing is resumed. Iron and the
harder grades OF steel require five or
six annealings while being reduced
10 the finer gauges OF wire. But the
manufacture OF soft steel and the de-
tails Of rolling it into rods have been
so perfected that soft steel rods can
now be drawn into fence wire with.
out any cleaning or annealing. After
the final drawing the wire is finished
in various ways, depend ny upon the
purposes for which IL Is intended
No matter OF what metal the wire
may b. composed, the same general
system OF drawing is used, varying
| more or less according To the metal.
Including gold, silver, platinum, cop
per, etc, the commercial sizes OF wire

The hatred of Italians in France by
the French lower classes, intense be-
fore the assassination of President
Carnot, has become so bitter that the
Italians are fleeing for their lives
from many sections of France, states
the Chicago Record. The people of
Italy are maddened by this unreason-
able hatred, and in Turin and other
places reprisals have already COM
menced against French residents. The
little fire of individual persecution
biazes brightly now. There is danger
that it may extend and become n con-
fagration OF international war. There
has been no love lost between the
countries for years.

out opposition voted an appropriation
for the construction of bust or statue
OF Thomy Lafon, the colored philan-
thropist, who died in New Orleans q
few months ago. The Governor will
have the selection Of the statue, and
will decide upon its location. 1t will
probably be place in the State House.
II is asserted that this is the first
statue ever erected to colored man
In the South, and one Of the first IN
the country. Lafon. who was eighty
years old when he died, left fortune
of $500, 90, nearly all of it to charity.
He founded an asylum for old people
and one for girls, anl gave the rest to
other benevolent institutions. His
original intention was to maks these
institutions open to both white and
colored, but he was persuaded to
abandon that idea because the whites
are already we'll provided with elee-
