Wonderful Goll-Lca..

Tho process by which gold is mailo
into thin leaves is called gold-beatiug.
AS yet, the use of machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly all
gold leaf being made by hand.
First tho gold is cast into oblong
ingots about three fourths OF an inch
in width, and Weighing two ounces
each. These ingots are passed betwocn
polished steel rollers and ilnttened out
into ribbons of about 800 of nm inch
in thickness. These ribbons nro soft.
ened Ivy heat and cut into pieoos ono
inch square.
Ono hundred aud fifty of those
pieces are placed between yellum
loaves, one piece above another, and
tho entire pilo is enclosed in double
parchment case and beaten with six.
teen-pound hummer until tho inch
pieces are extended to four-iuch
squares. They AFRO thon taken from
the case and ench square is cut into
four pieces; tho pieces thus obtained
are placed between gold-beaters' skin
"A delicate membrane prepared from
the large intestine of tho ox-mndo
into piles, inclosed in n parchment
cnse and again beaten, but with n
hammer of lighter weight
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once moro each leaf is cut into
four pieces md again beaten. This
last quarterins and beating produces
2l00 lonves, aud tho thickness of oach
leaf.is about 1-200,00J of mn inch.
Gold is SO malloablo that it is possible
to obtain n still greater degree of
thinness, but not proiitably.
These thin leaves nrc taken up with
wood pinccrs, plnced on cushion,
blown out fiat, aud carefully cut into
squares 81 inches i'll size. The squares
are placed bctwcon tho leaves of paper
books, which have previously boon
rubbed with red chalk to prevent nj
hesions of the gold, each paper book
containing twenty-five squaros or
leaves of gold; and in this form tho
lenf is sold, not by weight, but by
superficial measure. = Philadelphia

TMo Remarkahln 0rlolns

Mrs. Carson, tho wife of an Oeoneo
River planter, relates the following
interesting episode. which is given IN
the Philadelphia Times, rs unique in
bird lore:
EARLY this spring." said Nfrs. Car
son, ga pnir of hooking birds built
their nest in n slender young elm tree
just outside my window Before u
single egg had been laid therein, a
violent wind came, tossing tho tree
hither and thither, utterly destroying
the nest. With patient perseverance,
the birds went again to work, and
soon had the nest rebuilt in the self
same crotch, and this time the female
deposited two oggs within. One day
but short time thereafter, during a
pretty uevere blow of wind, observed
the two hooking birds in considerable
commotion, and suspected that they
feared another catastrophe to their
domicile. Feeling particular interest
in the result of the storm for them 1
kept n pretty close outlook, and by
and by saw the male bird fly away
leaving the female sole protector of
the homo. Wondering considerably
at thie, and feeling mn intense sympn-
thy for the poor female, went out to
SEQ if could not devise some way to
assist her in her distress.
'Before arrived ut any definite
plan of action, however, tho male bird
came flitting bnck, bringing with him
couple of orioles that 1 had seen
from time to time in the orchard be-
hind the house. Perfectly familiar as
l was with the ingenuity of the oriole.
1 was not prepared for what now saw
this pair accomplish. After n hurried
consultation with the mocking birds,
the two yellow fellows began to cast
about for material with which to oper-
ate in their friends behalf, and one OF
them soon found n Irvine string nearly
five feet In length, which ] hud left
out i'll the garden after twining, my
sweet pens. As soon as he lit upon it
he called his mate, and the serious
difficulty OF the rescue seemed solved,
for they went to work with n despatch
that would have done credit to n
greater intelligence than theirs is sup
posed to be. Each ono of the orioles
grasped an end of the string in his
mouth and flew with it to the tree,
deftly looping it over tho swinging
limb, just above the nest. This done,
they took the loose end and flew with
it to tho rose lattice. Goont three feet
distant, and soon hal it !,.nnd hard
and fast to the franc, shua to.6ing the
limb securely in position"

NOTES OF THE STAGE.

Augustin DAILY has acquired the right
of production in England of a French
pantomime play called ''Mademoiselle
Pygmalion." The work, of which one
representation only was given during
the Paris season at the Cercle des Fu-
nabules, has been written by MINI.
Michel Care and Jean HUBERT" the
composer is Francois Thome, well
known as composer of many short
pieces for orchestra and .pianoforte.
Jean Hubert really is Madame Jane
May, who has been engaged by Mr..
Daily to act the part of Pierrot, hero of
the work. which is a topsy-turvy ver-
sion of the famous legend.
1t is said that Miss Baird has been
selected finally for the heroine of
"Trilby," when that much overrated
piece is produced in the London Hay
market theater in October. Edmund
Maurice will be the Taffy and Lionel
Trough the Laird. Young Gerald du
Maurier win also have a part.
In his latest revival of Macbeth at
the London Lyceum Sir Henry Irving
banished the ghost of Banquo from the
banquet scene. The only thing that de-
noted the supposed presence of the
spectre to the audience was a gleam of
light upon the vacant chair. The effect
Is said to have been admirable.
The Wilkes-Barre Times says Daniel
L. Hart returned today from the High
lands Of Navasink, N. j., where he went
to meet Stuart Robson's manager and
talk over arrangements for the presen-
tation Of the play MIR. Hart has just
completed for the noted star. The
playwright mailed the manuscript Of
the different acts as they were finished
to Mr.. Robson, who Is in Paris. After re-
ceiving the first act Mr.. Robson wrote
that he was pleased with the work and
not a line would have to be changed.
Mr.. Hart has not yet heard from the
other three acts, but Is expecting let
ter every day.
Andy Mack, the well-known come
dian. will begin his starring tour In
'tMyles Aroon' in Scranton few
weeks hence. Mr.. Mack Is now about
the only exponent of the ever-popular
line OF melo-drama that made Emmet
and Scanlon famous. He Is a clever
actor and possesses a fine voice and
upon his tour this season will be sup
ported by flrst-class company.
