HIGH-PRICED KNOBS.
Art i'm Metal Work as Applied Now to
Builders Hardware.

Philadelphia Record.
Twenty-Five dollars for the knob and plate
of front door may seem to be bit or eX-
travagance, but in these days or high art
in furnishings a good deal more than that
can be spent for hand-chased and golc-
plated bronze knobs from special designs.
There are hundreds of patterns of high
priced door fittings, and Ii Is very easy to
select knobs, hinges, lifts, escutcheons and
a single story to cost. from $3.50 TO 500. Some
Of the patterns are SO costly that dealers do
not pretend to keep the articles in stock.
and manufacturers require time for Milling
some orders for articles sold by samples or
Photographic reproductions of patterns. II
the articles are to be made from special de-
signs OF an architect for a particular pur-
pose, the cost can easily extend to thou
sands of dollars.
The development Of art in metal work,
as applied to the regular trade of build
ers hardware, has been gradual. Some
of the old-time workers in iron and brass
produced patiently and laboriously large
and deliberately designed hinges, knockers,
locks and latches that were artistic and
are valued to-day by collectors of antiques.
The present workers can cast and finish
in a few hours many deliberately designed
knobs, plates and hinges, and artists are
employed to design dainty, graceful and
appropriate patterns. or to copy and apply
art has produced, SO that the ornamental
ton OF knob and plate may be artistic
and refined. For special work, an archi-
tect's rough draught may be elaborated TO
be in harmony with certain ornamentation
or style of architecture. and design from
a particular school or era of art may be
carried through the ornamentation of an
entire set OF knobs, hinges, lifts, escutch-
cons, handles and shutter bars. For the
regular trade the elaborate designs are
limited.
The demand for knobs and plates has
run through plain-hnished brass and
wrought iron TO brass and bronze. with
varied finishing. Oxydized copper finish
seems TO be preferred now for articles OF
moderate cost but slver-plated brass and
bronze. gold-plated bronze and bronze with
oxydiZed silver finish or verd-antique finish
are used In the most costly houses. The de-
mand for east iron, wrought iron and steel.
with dull black finish, has decreased TO
some extent, but they are the only methods
that can be used appropriately In some in
stances. Designs that are in harmony with
the Colonial style OF architecture have been
produced and they are severely plain when
alongside some of the designs from the
French school.
Polishing and hand-chasing make the
cost of hardware mount up, but the nice
ties of casting have been developed so
much in recent years that some plates and
other articles need only TO be cleaned with
sand and touched in spots with files and

time to get to business, and therefore
launched out into a picturesque description
of the country on both sides of the line as
seen from the windows or the carriage in
the train that was fast carrying him
toward Buffalo, his destination.
At last he paused, anu, taking stock Of
the manuscript which now covered his little
table, found that he had, within line or
two, already exhausted the space allotted TO
him, yet he had not said single word about
the falls of Niagara. Thereupon he dipped
mis- pen in the ink once more, and added the
words: Up. ST. ought TO have mentioned
that there are some very remarkable natur-
al waterworks in the neighborhood."
The perpetrator of this audacious evasion
used to declare with an extra twinkle in
his better eye. that, so far from, showing
resentment the editor and his readers were
charmed with his smartness and delighted
with the Jest.

Mr. Sala's stories were not always to be
taken, nor did he always intend them to
be taken, "au pied de Ia lettre," as when,
for example. he used TO boast OF having
freed Mecklenburg square-where he re-
sided for some years-from the pest of Ital-
ian organ-grinders by simply going out in
the dusk of the evening and planting little
packets of poisoned macaroni here and
there upon the doorsteps.
