A Touch of the Heart.

He had nursed the hope tenderly
that some day he might win her,
but in these later days hope had
almost retired from active life.
True, she still permitted his at
tentions, but there was that in her
manner which told him far more
plainly than words that he was
losing his grip at the rate of 81
miles minute.
If, indeed, he ever had grip.
On this point even he had doubts
at times.
Yet in it all there were often
CLEANS of sunshine through the
riffs in the clouds, and he depend
ed on them to revivify the fading
buds of his hope.
He knew that nobody knows
what a woman will do when no.
body is expecting it.
She doesn't even know herself.
n So it was that one day his utter
devotion to her asserted itself, and
he asked her to be his wife.
"Henry," she answered in calm,
sisterly manner, 81 had scarcely
expected this at this time. had
thought you would understand
without my speaking. Now l see
1 must be very plain"
"Don't say that" he interrupted,
earnestly and lovingly; "don't say
that, dearest; you cannot be very
plain; you are too beautiful; say it
some other way, dearest"
Her face filled with astonish-
ment, which faded away as a dis
solving view, and in its stead came
that look which makes a lover
swear he's looking in an angels

greet him with a smile.-Detroit

PATENT LEATHER.
Tho Process for Producing tho Shiny
Surface.

Tho Process for Producing tho Shiny
Surface.
Japanned leather, generally called
patent leather, was first made in
America. A smooth, glazed finish Is
first given to calfskin In France. The
leather, says the New York Telegram,
is eurried expressly for the purpose,
and particular care is taken to keep 1t
as free as possible from grease; the
skins are then tackled on frames and
coated with q composition OF linseed
oil and umbcr, in the proportion Of
eighteen gallons Of oil to five of umber
boiled until nearly solid and then mixed
witt, spirits Of turpcntine to the proper
consistency. Lnrlpblack is also added
when the composition Is applied in or
der to give color and body. From
three TO four coats Of this are neces-
sary to form substance to receive the
varnish. They are laid on with knife
or scraper. To render the goods soft
and plant each coat must be very
light and thoroughly dried after each
application. A thin coat is afterward
applied of the same composition Of
proper consistency to be put on with q
brush and with sufficient lampblack
boiled in it to make perfect black.
When thoroughly dry It is cut down
with a scrnper having turned edges,
when it is rendy to varnish. The princi-
pal vamish used Is made of linseed oil
and Russian blue, boiled to tho thick
ness of printers ink. 1t is reduced
with spirits Of turpentine to q suitable
consistency to work with a brush, and
then applied in two or three separate
coats, which tare scraped and pumiced
until the leather Is perfectly filed and
smooth. Tho finishing coat Is put on
with special care in q room kept closed
and with the floor wet to prevent
dust The frames are then run into an
oven heated to about one hundred and
seventy-fve degrees. In preparing
this kind of leather the manufacturer
must give the skin as high heat as II
can bear IL order to dry the compost
ton on the surface as rapidly ss pos.
sible without absorption, and eau
tiously, so as not to injure the Aber Of
the leather.

From evidence that It seems difficult
TO dispute, 1t appears that In the Celes-
tial empire old, incursbly diseased and
hopelessly depraved persons arc fre-
quently burned alive In order to rid
the community Of the burden and re-
sponsibility OF their care-teking. This
arrangement is the result Of mutual
understanding, the victims asserting
to and sometimes assisting In the pre-
liminary ceremonies. The usage seems
to have been recognized by the high
est authorities, and the burials have
certainly been conducted with the
sanction OF the ruling powers. Great
preparations are made and there Is
much ado, and sometimes q show of
grief, but great deal Of the latter In
evidently perfunctory, as there is an
all-around feeling Of satisfaction ON
the part of the spectators and more OF
less complacency on the mind Of the
victim, who Is comforted by the as
surance that he Is fulfilling tradition
and will earn the respect OF his an
cestors and gone-befores- This custom
Is scarcely more strange and barbarous
than the Japanese practice Of COM
polling man for certain crimes or
calamities to commit suicide. II would,
at least, have Its compensations in
that the criminal could be made to
