The lamp wick does not burn so
long as there is oil on it. AS the oxy-
gen which reaches the wick is not
sufficient to burn both the oil and the
wick, the Oil, being most inhamma-
bic, is burned, leaving the wick
merely charred. So if some highly
oxidizable substance. as alcoholic
drink, is taken into the system, it will
be oxidized fist, leaving the proper
food elements OF the body only

small way only in this country. There are
only three firms in Now York city that
manufacture them. Metal figures com
plctc, with whatever printing that is or
dcrcd on them, and in ordinary designs
and shapes, can be bought for from $50 to
500, but z foot Indian, with paint and
feathers and in artistic design, is worth
500. When the figures are made of metal,
they are first nodded in clay. They are
then cast in plaster, and from the plaster
are cast in sections In the metal. In ad-
dton to the New York firms making these
metal figures, there is factory in Chi
cago, one in Detroit, another In San Fran
cisco and two in Philadelphia. There is n
good export trade Of these figures to Aus

English Women at the Forge.

There was long shed, with eight or
ten forges in 1t, worker and blower to
each forge. Toll was being carried on
with feverish energy under the eyes of the
master, who promenaded up and down.
There were as many women as men. The
heat was great and the smell baddish and
suggestive of its extreme badness in mid
summer.
At one forge one woman, aged about 22,
used the hammer with her hands and
worked the oliver with her feet / tried
to do as she did. She settled nail in two
or three blows. 1t cost me seven. The
force necessary to make the oliver do its
duty is very great. The whole power OF
the body must be concentrated upon the
leg muscles. At one forge man and wife
were at work, both just over 30. l won

MONEY AND SOCIETY.

Society Is profession-almost,I may

gift. 1t Is "a career to which many are

and it requires talent.
But we must push aside all sentimen-
tality. We cannot afford to loiter by the
roadside, to daily with the ones who have
fallen. We must leave them severely alone
to their fate. Society is simply give and
take, and we must live up to these princi-
pies.

think, however, when people have lost
everything they should disappear. If they
have something left, we'll, let them make

have repaired their misfortunes.
You see, they will thus spare much mis-

Then the other women felt called upon
to belittle their own love stories, to ridi-
culo courtsbip and marriage Shrewd,
sdelong glances seemed to indicate that
much of the banter was suspected of being
the truth.
At last Mrs. d., the popular hostess OF
the third floor, back" said, "Well, girls,
l married for love, and got it!'
There was hush, and Mrs. d. saw a
quiver around the mouth Of Mrs. f., who
had married for love and hadn't got it.

1t is always interesting to have the

hymn in the English language is when
l Survey the Wondrous Cross" There
is an article I'm The Century which tells
us what was thought OH the subject by
Oliver Wendell Holmes. There are very
few modern hymns" said tho Autocrat on
one occasion, which have tho old ring of
saintliness In them. Sometimes when l

when one strikes my eye cover tho name
at the bottom and guess. IL is almost in

thero are very few which are good for
