PRECIOUS METALS IN THE ARTS.
Enormous Quantities Consumed in the
Various Industries.

| Enormous Quantities Consumed in the
Various Industries.
1t is easy to ascertain how much gold
and silver are absorbed in the coinage
of the various nations, but the most
careful estimates as to the quantities
of these metals used in the arts aud
industries are only approximate. Sta.
tisticians in the Treasury Department
Of the French Government recently
undertook the considerable task of
compiling the best information on this
subject, and the figures they have
reached are probably as accurate as
any that have yet been published.
Mos: of the gold used in the arts is
for ornamentation, though it is also
employed to large extent for the
most practical purposes, as in dem
tistry. Ii is doubtful if even jewelry
consumes larger quantity of gold
than some other ways in which 1T is
used. The consumption for gliding
alone is very large. The films of gold
leaf are very thin, but enormous num-
bers of them are applied to consid-
erable variety of manufactures, such
as signs, jewelry, books, frames, fur
niture, pottery and other articles, and
the aggregate value of the gold thus
used is very large. The consumption
of gold for gliding has considerably
increased since electro-gilding came
into vogue, but because more gliding
is done and also because the new pro-
cess wastes considerable quantity of
the metal. According to the French
figures the United States consumes in
the arts about thirty-one thousand
pounds Of gold in year, which
amounts in value to SO, 900, 900 in
round numbers. France, however,
with her preeminent manufactures of
iewelry and other articles of luxury,
heads the list with an annual con.
sumption of about thirty-fve thou.
sand two hundred pounds year.
Great Britain also surpasses the Uni
ted States with 81, 100 pounds, Ger.
many consumes 20, 040 0pounds, Switz-
erland 1873 Italy 11,000, Russia
5000, Austria Hungary 6175, and Bel.
gium and Holland $500.
Perhaps one reason why the United
States consumes in the arts n good
deal more silver than any other coun.
try is because photography here, with
its amateur branch, is far more exten.
sively in use than in any other land.
The chief industrial uses of silver are
for solid silver plate and silver plating,
mountings for harnesses and other
ornamentation, and photography. The
silver industries in the United States
consume over five hundred and fifty
five thousand pounds year, Germany
and France about three hundred and
thirty thousand pounds each, Russia
209, 900 and Great Britain 20S, S,O0O-

onions, cultivated roots and herbage
were unknown in Britain of the Mid
die Ages. What vegetables we're re-
quired were imported from Holland /.
The introduction of the potato and it's
general cultivation from about 1919
form the most important event of its
kind. Not until the time of the Com
monwealth did the pudding obtain
popularity, and even now it is role
gated in the nursery. That essential
ly British dish, plum-pudding, has
only assumed its present solid form
during the last hundred years. It
was originally a soup, thickened with
brown bread, plums and raisins. 1t
was abhorred by the Puritans, and
not until Sir Roger de Coverley had
seen Dissenter enjoying plun-broth
in his hall at Christmas had the worthy
knight any hope for his moral and
social condition.
Miuce.pies, another Christmas
dainty, were likewise religiously
banned. Treatises and sermons were
gravely written proving and disprov-

A KNOWING SHEEP.
Fond of Hunting and Constant Comps
ioDship with Her Mistress.

Fond of Hunting and Constant Compan-
iobship with Her Mistress.
"Sheepish" is reproachful adjec.
tive, and of the many people whose
faces are like sleeps faces 1 have not
a good word to say. The sheep faced
human is generally cowardly, dull and
uninteresting. But n real sheep can
be loving, lovable, companionable.
Here is n life-story of one such woolly
pet, told by writer in the London
News.
"Percini" was brought up by hand.
When about n year old she changed
owners, but was regarded at once as
privileged person in her new home.
She attached herself Immediately to
the lady of the house, and behaved
like one of the inner circle of dogs
mot the mere outdoor canines). Per.
cini particularly liked going out rab.
bit-shooting. There was a spot at the
warren where Percini's friend, with
her rifle, used to take up her position.
Ben" the retriever, sat down there
too, and watched for the rabbits. ga
hundred might come out, but Ben
never moves till shot is fred" saws
the sportswoman.) And Percini used
to lie beside Ben-calm and happy,
and often chewing the cud. When a
shot had been fred Percini would
jump up, not because she was startled,
but evidently because she was inter
ested in the result. If Percini heard
shot anywhere she would scamper
off, thinking, by finding the gun, to
join her friend.
. The sheep had two enemies; one, a
dairymaid, who used to chivvy Per-
cini, who was addicted to eating the
poultry food, and another, tame
deer, who often bit the sleeps back
in kind of rough play. To escape
either enemy Percini would rush for
help and protection to her attached
owner and would force her fat. woolly
body through the narrowest paling so
as to enjoy the coveted human COM
panionship. She has run couple OF
miles after trotting horse and she al.
ways followed her mistress when max.
ing calls on foot in the country. The
sheep and the dogs waited at the
stranger doorstep for an hour some-
times in amity and patience. Percini
was exceedingly affectionate, took an
interest in all sorts of unlikely things
rabbit shooting to wit, and when
she died at the early age of two years
she was deeply mourned by her de.
voted human friend.
