GOLD AND SILVER PLATING.
Process That Is Described as Simple by
a Professional.

The following is very simple method
for gold and silver plating: Take an
ounce Of nitrate Of silver, which is
made as follows: One ounce Of fine sill
yer, one ounce nitric acid, one-half
ounce water. Put the silver into a Flor
ence flask, then pour in the acid and
water. Place the flask on the sand bath
for few moments, taking care not to
apply too much heat, and as soon as
chemical action becomes violent remove
the flask to a cooler place and allow the
action to go on until it nearly slacks,
when, if there is any silver still remain
ing, the flask may be placed on the bath
again until the silver disappears. If the
acid employed is weak, it may be neces-
sary to add little more. The red fumes
formed when chemical action is going
on disappear when the acid has done its
work
The nitrate Of silver formed during
the above operation should be poured
iuto a porcelain capsule and heated un-
til a pellicle appears on the surface,
when it may be set aside to crystalline.
Ths uncrystallized liquor should be
poured from the crystals into another
vessel and heat applied until it has
evap0rated sufficiently to crystalline.
Then you have nitrate Of silver Take
an ounce Of nitrate of silver, dissolve in
quart of distilled rainwater. When
thoroughly dissolved, throw in few
crystals Of hyposulphite Of soda, which
will at first form a brown precipitate,
but which becomes redissolved if enough
hyposulphite has been added. There
must be present a slight excess of this
salt The solution is now complete.
Take sponge, dip it in the solution
and rub it over the work to be plated.
A solution of gold may be made in
the same way and applied as described.
A concentrated solution of either gold
or silver may be used for work that has
been worn off by applying it with a
camels hair brush and touching it with
a strip of zinc. The writer has used this
method with the most satisfactory sue.
cess The gold or silver used in making
must be perfectly fine. Jewellers Cir.

They Do Not Mind the Pennies.

Experience has made the men of the
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above the size of 10 cent piece
The larger pieces they will test upon the
pavement or sink their teeth into in
tentative fashion. 1t is TO be noted,
however, that whenever a customer
makes a penny purchase they pocket his
change without scanning it-almost
hastily indeed. There is deep reason in
this procedure.
For one thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece; it is too cheap. For an
other thing, the fruit dealer knows that
no coin of smaller denomination is pass
ing into his hands, For a third thing,
and this is the most important, there is
always a chance that the customer IS
deceived himself and is handing over a
nickel, dime or one of the minor gold
pieces, under the impression that he is
paying but a penny. If he looks satisfied
and starts to go away, he is not likely
to be called back to get the change. Oc-
casionally some such involuntary wind
fall comes the way Of the fruit man. -

Judre Dov's AppoIntment.

Washington, April 24-The selection
Of Judge Day TO be first assistant Sec
retary of state overturns the plans Of
the president TO send him 20 Cuba as
special counsel to watch the prosecu-
ton of the Ruiz investigation. 1t would
be without precedent for such an Off
cial as the first assistant secretary to
go to another country TO prosecute a
case when later on he might have to
engage in diplomatic negotiations with
that same country on other subjects.
At any rate, the conviction that the
pursuit of the original mission by Judge
Day would impair his usefulness in the
future as an official of the state depart
ment has lead to the cancellation of
the order to go TO Cuba. Whether any
one will be appointed TO take up the
work of special counsel laid down by
the judge cannot be learned, but it Is
intimatcd that Consul General Lee ls
anxious to be relieved of his Office, and
any change there probably would make
more pronounced the need of legal as
sistance in watching the Ruiz case.
Judge Day said that as he had been
selected for the position of assistant
secretary Of state he would not make
the trip TO Havana to conduct the in
vestigation into DR.. Ruiz's death. The
Investigation, however, would not be
abandoned, but would be made by
some one else. Who would conduct IL,
however, he did not know. He admitted
that his selection for the assistant sec
retaryship was a surprise to him, as he
had made all his arrangements to go to

WHAT THE YOUTH NEEDED.
The Order Was Given by the Man Whom
He Made Tired.

Now and then Chicago draws a chap
pie in the great shuttle of life. The other
day one arrived here from an inland
town who had few points to spare in
his trunk.
He took up his residence in an aristo-
cratic family hotel, where he appeared
religiously each night at a o'clock
dinner in the evening dress Of a second
class swell. This was all very commend
able and cleanly, and not at all extraor-
dinary where so per cent Of the men
did the same thing.
But the good impression awakened by
the chastity of the newcomers appear
ance in the ineffable bosom and tie was
obscured by his attempt to order his
dinner in as much French as he deem
ed would be ineligible. The sorority
of his final order for a demitasse
was good for all the surrounding tables,
if not for the butlers pantry.
AS the first week rolled on the young
man grew more Frenchy, more mellow,
more metropolitan in spirit and on the
occasion Of his first evening at home
made his way to the smoking room.
where he arranged himself dangerously
and picturesquely in an easy chair.
Near him was the station Of a small

"Garconl Garconp' called out the
oriental one, but little William stood,
with his heavy, seallike eyes rolled up

emnly over his brass buttoned jacket,
regardless and needless Of the over
whelming honor being done him.

chap" growled an apoplectic man on

The passage of the bill allowing prize

not only for that state, but for the entire
west. Not alone is the cause of human
ity at stake, but the entire section will
be held up in the light of ridicule by the
papers of the so-called effete east. Ridi-
cule and sarcasm are not strong weapons
when arrayed against logic, but the latter
is rarely consulted when fun is poked at
an adversary. Such will be the course
of affairs for the next few months, as
soon as the gold bug opponents of the
silver states grasp the situation. There

The obstinate fight over the senator.
ship in the Oregon legislature still con-
tinues. The chances are always good for
dark horse of questionable merit in
cases of prolonged contest and the
united cause of the west can not afford
many such mishaps. With the chief
executive elected on a gold bug basis
and surrounded by an unscrupulous
band of shrewd nnanciers, whose views
are expressed in accordance with the
dictates of mouopoles and trusts, the
nation relies upon the silver members of
congress to guard against complete
scapitulation to the great monied powers.
The defeat of Dubois is regrettable oc
curence which should not be duplicated. /.
