BROKEN THINGS MADE NEW.
How = BOstOn GIL La Earning Lots OF
Money by Patching CD
Fragile Ware.

A Boston girl has begun the work of
repairing precious pottery. glassware,
porcelain and statuary. Last year she
patched up $3O0, $50 worth of fragile
ware. and she got nearly ten per cent.
on the value of the goods redeemed. II
IS said TO have been more than the sal
aEy of Mayor Quincy or Gov. WoIcott.
This girl began by inducing a large
department house TO allow her to re-
pair, not only their own fine pottery
and glassware, but 10 take orders from
the customers Of the house who
brought their broken ware there in the
hope that there was soma one in the es-
adjustment who could fix il up. She
Eas an artist, 10 begin with, and in ad-
liiiou che had good deal Of mechan-
cal ingenuity. Later she got a contract
from an art museum in Boston to do
such work Of this kind as the museum
:onf supply. This includes many rare
vases and other articles which are dug
NJ in old world fields, and which reach
the museum a mass Of a thousand frag-
rnents. The little pieces are taken 20
he stndio Of the bric-a-brac surgeon,
and there the artist-mechauic spends
hours, days and weeks in asserting the
fragments and putting them together.
She uses n particularly fine kind Of
cement. which is made from the al
bumen OF eggs. mixed with evaporated
whey. This cement will endure heat
and moisture and is everlasting.
One Of the latest triumphs Of this girl
is seen in a built-up glass urn from
the valley Of the Nile. This precious
relic is exhibited in a museum. II is
apparently Aawless, and through IL the
oSautiful hucs Of the rainbow simmer
Ike the dancing coIors Of a soap bub-
Die in the sunlight. Yet this urn came
10 the museum in thousands Of little
bits. So carefully have these frag-
nents been put together that scarcely
! trace Of the mendiDg can be seen,
even by the keeneat eyes. Recently a
fabulous price was offered for the urn
and refused.-Ne~ Haven Register.

Still a Few Of Them Left.

Men of Massachusetts, have you at
all times thoroughly appreciated and
strenuously co-operated to advance
these great purposes of Providence?
You clearly perceived and frankly,
earnestly, powerfully contributed with
Virginia to develop, the great territor-
ial capacities of the Northwest, But
were you equally clear-sighted in re-
gard to the not less important South
west? Did you in feeling support Vir-
ginia there? Did you not struggle to
prevent the acquisition of Louisiana,
the acquisition Of Florida, the acquisi-
tion of Texas, the acquisition of Cali
fornia? Was not the Union, as our
fathers conceived it, thus completed
in-spite of you?
And yet, who profted first, who
profted next, who profited constantly,
by each of these great stages of the
great event? Was it not you, the men
of Massachusetts, with your ships,
your manufactures, your mechanic
arts, and your intelligence? Nay, did
you not unconsciouslv, and, as it were,
in despite of yourselves, potentially
contribute with might and with will,
as Massachusetts does whenever she
acts, to the contamination of the great
event, by pouring your capital, your
industry, your inventive genius, and
your men, into each one of the success
sive territorial accessions to the Union?
You did; you could not help doing it;
you are strong and selt-willed, but the
great event was stronger and more
willful than you, and it snatched you
up out of the depths of unreasonable
to it, absorbed you into its vortex, and
when there, as with your virtues and
your lights you deserve to be, you be-
came the most efficacious element of
its further progress.
Why is it SO? Why is it that for SO
many years Massachusetts has perse-
veringly opposed whatever is, and per-
sistently endeavored to prevent what
ever is to be.-Harper's Weekly of
May 2, 1857.

Commercial Supremacy Of the .. $.

Every indication points to a contin-
uation for some years of this era Of
unexampled activity and prosperity
upon which the United States has now
entered. There may be some check
due to high prices, which themselves
are caused by great demand, but with
a wise determination of our currency
question and q statesmanlike treat
ment Of the new political questions
created by the unexpected RESPONSE
bilities thrown upon us by reason OF
the war with Spain, there seems to be
no reason Why the United States may
not, in the era upon which she is now
entering, achieve 9 position which will
be recognized as that of financial in
dependence, the first power in the

turing nation and as an exporter OF
manufactured products, and perhaps
