Clay Casting.

A new process of clay casting, or
porcelain products, termed 'Thonguss, -
has been introduced in Germany, says
The Neueste Erfndungen. It seems that
in this case the mass is not, as hereto
fore, worked cold upon the potter s
lathe or pressed into mold, but is fine
~ ground after careful drying, then
melted at prescribed heat in an cleo
trio furnace and poured into heated,
fireproof casting mold. Glazing becomes
necessary in most cases if the walls Of
the mold are sufficiently smooth, other
wise it is allowed to cool off after the
qualification of the cast to certain
temperature, and finely powdered glass
is thrown ON in uniform, thin layer.
The advantage of the new process, as
set forth, coLsists-aside from consid-
erably reduced cost-in an almost COM
plete prevention of the unforeseen
shrinking of the mass on cooling, and
thus it follows that henceforth iastru-
ments of precision and accurately divid-
ed measuring vessels of every Clescrip-
ton can also be made from porcelain
By means of still undeveloped process
viz, the admixture of a suitable sub
stance to the melted clay-it is expected
to render the cooled mass pliable-mal-
leable-and also to make the operation
of remelting considerably more diff
cult

lNcoMpLETENEss.

Nothing resting in its own completeness
Can have worth or beauty. but alone
Because it leads and tends 10 further sweet
ness,
Fuller, higher, deeper than its own.
Springs real glory dwells not in the meaning,
Gracious though it be, of her blue hours
But is hidden in her tender leaning
To the summers richer wealth of flowers.
Dawn is fair because the mists fade slowly
into day, which floods the world with light.
Twilight's mystery is so sweet and holy
just because il ends in starry night.
Jhildhood's smiles unconscious graccs borrow
From strife that in a faroff future lies
And angel glances, yelled now by life's sor.
row,
Draw our hearts to some beloved eyes.
Life is only bright when it proceedeth
Toward truer, deeper life above.
Human love is sweetest when it leadeth
To more divine and perfect love.
Learn the mystery of progression duly.
Do not call each glorious change decay,
But know we only hold our treasures truly
When it seems as if they passed away.
Nor dare to blame Gods gifts for incomplete
ness.
In that want their beauty lies. They roll
Toward some infinite depth of love and sweet
ness,
Bearing onward mans reluctant soul

Dry Plate Photography.

The first amateur pictures on dry
plates were made something after the
method employed by Charles Lambs
celebrated Chinaman in obtaining roast
pig The Chinaman burned his house
to roast his pig. The amateur tore his
camera to pieces to get his picture The
first hand camera was pasteboard box
containing one plate. A pinhole served
as lens and after the exposure of the
plate the box was taken to the dark
room, cut open, and the plate extracted.
This was rather expensive picture max
ing, and it was not long before maya
zine camera was invented. and sudden
ly all the world began taking pictures.

Good for the Stomach.

The greatest drawback to cod liver oil has
always been due to its proclivities of disturb
ing the stomach. With Vinol this becomes q
thing of the past, as Vinol contains all the
curative principles found in cod liver oil, but
is entirely free from the stomach-disturbing
fat.
Mr.. Graves, prominent chemist of North
ampton, says in regard to this subject
'sCod liver oil was valuable remedy where
it could be administered. In some. cases it
was beneficial because the really valuable
medicine that was a part of it was SO truly
efficient that it was in itself able to over.
come the distressing effects of the obnoxious
and misunderstanding oil which enveloped
it. Because with Vinol you have done away
with the fat or grease, you have succeeded in
eliminating all Objectionable features in con-
necton with cod liver oil"
We in our own experience have been able
to learn the truth of the above statements and
know Vinol to be as much better than cod
liver oil in its old form as it is more pleasant
in its taste and odor. Yours very truly,

AS sat in the hotel Office at the old
Tourtelotte House at Millbury, Mass,
thought of the old-time sports, one in
particular, who in his day was dead
game fellow, superb driver and a sue

Reuben Titus, and in his younger days
he was the observed of all observers.
Tall, straight and handsome and fault.
lessly dressed, he was the life of all sport
ing occasions. A splendid driver and
trainer, he was man with a record. In
early life he went to California, and it is
said killed two men in street fight.
To look at this man one would doubt
this story, for his countenanoe betokened
benevolence, and no one in distress ever
appealed to him in vain. Titus came to
Worcester in 1854, and drove string oil
trotters belonging to Nathan Washburne
of Worcester. Mr.. Washburne was ar
iron manufacturer and had plenty Of
money. Titus was in Mr.. Washburne's
employ a long time and finally left him
Being an inveterate gambler he was some
times broke. One time Mr.. Washburnt
wanted Titus to drive horse in a race
that was to take place in Boston, SO hi
sent for him and explained what hi
wanted.

"Well, l did have some, but l laid il
all on the jack, and the jack didn't win
SO I'm broke"
"Oh, WE'LL" replied Washburne, chow
much do you want ?''
"Oh, don't know" answered Titus
''you know Pm an expensive son of

Washburne gave Titus $500. and Titus
took the horse to Boston, That nigh
Titus bucked the tiger and was broke A
few days later Washburne went to Bos

II guess will have to have little morc
money"
Money!" exclaimed Washburne, "why
gave you $500 only few days ago."
II know it," said Titus, "but you know
told you that was an expensive son o

Poor Titus. He became poor and die

would not let them, and he remained al
