Engraved Letter ing,

Lettering may be described under three
heads-larae lettering, such as bond titles;
small lettering, like that done on coupons,
cards and tickets, and script or writing.
Some engrayers can do good work in all
of these branches of lettering, but in large
establishments each man is kept employed
at that style in which he eXcels
In bonds and stock certi llcates the titles
and script are usually done on the plate
from which they are to be printed but
there is lot of small work, common to
jobs of that kind, which is done on what
are called dies, - or bedpieces," and
transferred from the rolls to the plates.
In large lettering drawing of the out
line of the letters Is made on paper to get
the shapes, curves and spacing correct. A
tracing of this outline is then made on
gelatin and after filling this with vermil
ion a thin coating of wax is laid on the
plato and transfer of the gelatin tracing
put on the wax. Next the outline is care
fully marked through the wax on to the
plate. The wax is taken off, and the art
list is ready to begin his cutting
Lettering on banknotes, if there is to be
more than one note on plate, is engraved
on dies, or 'beapieces, and transferred
to the plate. This insures the exact dupli
cation of the material Of each of the notes,
and also makes 1t possible to reproduce
and retouch the work at any time. From

A Natural { hOice.

The reason the native American girl will
not become servant, in spite of the argu-
ments of the rational and godly, Is that
service is the sole employment in this coun-
try In which she can be told with impunity
that she Is the social inferior of any one
else. 1t is the telling which she cannot put
up with. 1t is one thing to be conscious
that the person you are constantly associ-
ated with is better educated, better man
nered and more attractive than yourself,
and it is another to be told at every oppor-
tunity that this is so. In the shop, in the
factory, and in other walks of life, what
ever her real superiors may think of her,
they must treat her as an equal. The hap
piness of her life, and its handspring, too,
lies in the consciousness that she is free to
become the first lady in the land, and that
she herself is to be her sole critic and de
tractor. Why is she not right in refusing
to sacrifice her independence Why should
she sell her birthright for mess of pot
tage?-Scribner's.

Modern Chivalry.

There are millions of women and girls in
;his country who are supporting themselves
and others, aud they are not the less wom-
anly on that account There are shopgirls
and typewrters in Atlanta who are us
worthy of any mans love as any queen
who ever from her lowered throne at an
antique tourney crowned the victorious
knight who had ridden through slaughter
to win her suule. What we call chivalry is
a beautiful sentiment. Let us cherish it,.
When it dies the flower and beauty of man
hood droop and W thcr. But let us by all
means have chivalry which is both just
and sensible.
The Ideal chivalry is that which com, 5
quickest to women in distress and stanC
readiest to battle for her against odds.
thought of the great host of the Str
women whom circumstances, misl..,,---.
or even their own honorable choice l..
brought into the hard battle of life Is
enough to fire the heart of any right think
ing man with zeal to serve them with at
least as glad and gallant loyalty as that
which inspired the heroes of the cloth Of
gold when the only reward they asked Tor
victory or death was a woman's smile.
The beauty of chivalxy is its considera-
tion of those who face fearful odds and its
readiness to serve them, and they who by
any perversion of sentiment call themselves
true knights because they contend for the
environment of the women of this day
within the barriers which feudalism built
about her are reproach to the name they
assume-Atlanta journal.

Fran Kiln Invented the Centerb GARD.

Here of late considerable discussion 10
going the rounds as to the relative merits
of the centorboard in vessels as being a
distinctly American invention and for
that reason resting its chief claim for su-
periority. To Benjamin franklin belongs
the honor of having first perceived its util-
ity. 1t was whilo working at his trade of
printer In London that one day in crossing
the Thames the strong currents carried
the Hat rowboat he was in down the
stream, and it occurred to him at once
that II movable board were placed at the
side and lowered as occasion REQUIRED the
boat would DO less liable to be affected by
the currents. This was done so SUCCESS
fully that lee boards as they were called,
soon began to attract notice for use on
shallow vessels until ultimately they have
developed into the more pretentious name
of centerboards. -Philadelphia Press

Have a House Dress.

A girl who wishes to be well dressed on
the street and at her office or In the store
gets out of her street gown the moment she
enters her home, Nothing so demoralizes
a street gown as to wear it in the house.
The seams of the waist get pulled out of
shape, the skirt wrinkles with lolling in
easy chairs, and the wooden gown will take
on all the odors that are floating up from
the kitchen, so that the minute you enter a
car or shop the other inmates can tell that
you had sausage and buckwheat cakes for
breakfast, or that the cook is going to have
doughnuts for your lunch. Manage to have
two or three house gowns, if they are only
percale or cotton crepon. Make them neat

Germs Found in Plants.

The assistant director of Kew gardens,
lecturing at me London institute on some
ouriosities of tropical plant life, said that
among these were the pearls found occa-
sionally in the cocoanut palm of the
Philippine islands, pearls which, like
those of the ocean, are composed Of carbo-
nate of lime. The bamboo, too, yields an
other precious product in tho shape of true
opals, which are found in its joints. In
each case this mineral matter Is of course
obtained from the soil. The natives of
the Celebos use these vegetable opals as
amuleti and charms against disease

I he Typewriter,

Almost every typewriter sooner or later
has trouble with her eyes. The typewriting
machine is supposed to save the eyes, but
the effect is quite the contrary The eyes
are all the time in motion while writing,
and the rapid jerking of the eye from one
point TO another on the little keyboard soon
tires the muscles and makes the eyes and
sometimes the whole head ache.
Then great many girls have the habit
of turning up the carriage to see what has
been written, and leaning back in the chair
while reading it, This, too, is bad, for the
reason that 1t requires rapid adjustment
of the eye to the different distances, and so
tires the whole organ. The only way to
save the eyes when using a typewriting
machine is to acquire such facility that it
is not necessary to look at the Keyboard

The Lower Depths of the Sea,

In the lower depths of the sea the quiet
Is SO profound that in comparison with it
the most barren deserts on the face of the
earth are scenes of the greatest activity,
for on the desert there are variations in
wind and in temperature and alterations
Of day and night, while in the great depths
Of the ocean there is no life, there are no
currents, the temperature is uniformly 33
degrees year in and year out, and night
reigns perpetually The surface Of the
ocean is the poets favorite metaphor for
unrest, but there is nothing SO quiet and
changeless as its profound depths. Hart

The twilight deepens into solemn night.
The soul is struggling for relief,
To tell you there is light
But sorrow still holds sway,
And heavy seems the approaching night.

Still sits the sorrowing heart,
Unable yet to look for lights
Bruised, bleeding, crushed,-apart
From all earth's loveiness.

And the beautiful light of dawn
