Japanes. as Metal " orkers.

The japanese are past masters in the
treatment of alloys both in texture and
color, and no better guides exist. They
achieve their grand results by the
simplest means-a judicious blending
of various metals, inlaying and pick
ling. Copper is the basis of their chief
alloys, and by incorporating with it GER
tain proportions of gold and silver they
obtain remarkable results in color
through the picking process.
But not only do they get striking eff
fects from their alloys and picking -
their mode Of working up the metals is
thing to be studied For instance,
they will take six or seven plates of
different metals and alloys, weld them
together, and then, by drilling, punch
ing up and filing, get surface il
which all the metals show in manner
which is truly wonderful. BY the
range of tints at their command they
can work out on metal surface scenes
OF animal life, landscapes, etc, with ct.
feet never dreamt of by metal workers
in the Western world. Among some
examples recently shown in England
was a knife handle on which was q
representation of duck dipping its
head under the water of stream on
which it was swimming, the arrange.
ment OF the different alloys by which
it was composed, and the picking being
so we'll arranged, that the neck Of the
duck was seen as under the water when
the handle was held in certain light.
Another example was a sword hilt on
which some minnows not more than
one-sixteeDth of an inch in length aud
each having a pair of gold eyes, were
swimming upon a gray stream, the ef
feet of their being actually below tn,
surface of the water being suggested
with marvellous skill. limitations ol
wood, grain, and marbles were alsC
shown. --Jelcele,'S Repielc.

Parishes without settled pastor are
occasionally driven TO the expediency
of listening to the preaching of candi.
dates in order to make choice of those
who have applied for the position.
Woe betide the luckless clergyman il
he betrays the slightest defect in voice,
figure or dress at such a critical time
His sermon may be dull and prosy,
or he may read the hymns without re-
gard to rhyme or meter; all will be
more readily forgiven than any physical
disability.
Not long ago ali Episcopal parish out
side of Boston, beiag without rector,
was enjoying the luxury of hearing
candidates"
There were numerous applicants, and
finally one letter impressed the vestry
so much by the evident sincerity of the
writer that it was decided to request
him to preach on a certain Sunday.
When the day arrived a very small
man put in an appearance and an.
nounced himself as Rev. Mr.. , to
whom the invitation TO ofiiciate had
been sent.
The service began and everything was
progressing very well, albeit the min
lister was possessed of quite a weak and
eifeminate voice.
At the proper time, during the sing
ing of the hymn at the end of the ante
communion service, he left the chancel
and gravely mounted the stops of the
high pulpit.
The hymn was ended, the people
settled themselves comfortably in their
pews, and all eyes were fixed on the
pulpit
A head and shoulders were all that
could be seen above the book-rest, and
then, as if that were not enough TO ex.
cite the disabilities" of the congre
cation, little, thin, weak voice piped
out:
Il have taken for my text the words
Lead me to the rock that is higher
than l.
The congregation choked down its
laughter in the best way possible, but
the poor fellow lost an election to the
rectorship.

THE STOHY or 4 SEQ en- FIuILr.
A Kezar Falls correspondent of the
Lewiston journal, tells of the expert
euce of family in what some folks
called hard times. OF this family, the
husband and father, John Stuart, came
10 kezar Falls from Scotland years
ago. He got work in the mill as a
spinner, and in few months he had
saved enough money TO send for his
three daughters. The four then worked
together, and soon had enough to bring
over the mother and four other chill
dren. The three daughters have since
happily and well married. The oldest
son is married, and has built him a
house of his own which will soon be
wholly paid for The second son has
steady employment with the wooden
company as a machinist, while tho "old
folks" have at last realized the dream
of their life in having house aud a
garden of their own. The younger
boy, lad of twelve or fourteen years
when they came here, has just gradu-
ated from commercial college.
