HOW GOLD LEAF IS MADE.

The gold. % carats fine, is run through
heavy rollers. coming out a ribbon about
an inch wide and of the thickness of
plotting rarer Tho ribbon is clipped into
inch squares and placed between the
leaves of "A parchment book three inches
square. This book is called the Clutch,
and contains 200 leaves. When it has been
placed in heavy parchment envelope it is
given to a brawny workman He stands
before a pounding block of solid granite
and with an iron hammer weighing ID
pounds, beats the clutch until the gold
within is three inches square instead of
one inch. The blow struck IS not the
crushing blow of butchers AK; it must
rebound lightly.
The gold is next cut in quarters and
placed in another book called the shoda,
which contains some $50 leaves. This book
consists of a peculiar substance made
from the entrails of oxen. 1t is as fine
and smooth and flexible as the lining of
an egr-shel. 1t Is very costly, the price
Of a single book being so, A book will
stand $50 heatnGs. after which 1t is sold
to manufacturers of imitation god-leaf.
The shoda is beaten with lighter ham
/ mer and more expert strike. The idea
Is to make tho leaf little thicker on tho
edges than in the middle. This is in or
der that when the leaf is finally trimmed
and sold the manufacturer and not the
buyer will get the advantage of the heaV-
fer part.
Up to this time all the work is in the
hands of men. The transferring Of tho
! leaf from the shoda to the next book and
the final heating has always been the
work of women. y light touch and a def
| hand are required to do this without
| breaking the leaf. which has now been
beaten to the thinness of the thnnest
| tissue-papcr
The last book is called tho mould, and
has 1000 leaves. In it the gold tissue is
beaten to one-fourth that delicate thick
ness.

THE FINAL PROCESS.

The girls sit at little enClosed desks in
an almost airloss room. The smallest
drauCht of wind must be excluded, so
light is the substance handled. AS 1t Is,
quantities fly about, and settle in the
girls hair and clothing. The walls and
orners elisten with it. In front of each
girl Is a fine leather cushion. and at her
side are piled the moulds. She turns the
leaves and with the aid of two slender
wooden tools, one a pincers and the other
a kind of stiletto, lifts the shimmerinG
gold, drops it on the leather cushion, aud
breathes on it gently to fatten it. This
must all be done lightly and quickly.
With two strokes of a wooden stamp call
ed a wagon, something like "A cooky- .
ter, the gold is cut into three and three
eighths inches square. The trimmings
are swept back into a box. and the GOLD
is again lifted and dropped between the
leaves of a tissue-paper book, where it
ecomes the gold leaf of commerce.
Twenty of them are sold together in n
package The retail price is $3.50 An ey-
pert workwoman can make from 60 to 50
books a Gay.

What Are Sardines ?


Newspaper jokes about herring mas
querading as sardines are no longer in
order According TO a French scientist,
the word sardlnp must be taken as
meaning any small fish preserved in
oil, and not an individual species This
small fish may be a herring, or pill
ciard, or sprat, or almost any otter
species In other words, the natural
ISIS do not recognize u fish called sar-
dine; the word simply signifies a
method of PREPARATION. On the French
coast pilchar's are packed as sardines;
on the Maine coast these "litte fishes
in oiP' are small herring. In the
former INSTANCE olive oil is used as the
medium of preservation; on the Maine
coast we are fortunate if we get good
quality of Qotfonseed oil. Aid the
poor fish isn't to blame in either case.

FurOre For Plaster Patch cs.

Plaster patches were introduced in
England in the reign of Edward VI. by
q foreign lady who in this manner in
geniously concealed wen on her neck.
They became such craze and were
carried to such exaggerated lengths
that they were finally lampooned out
Of sight The men, as well as the wo-
men, stuck themselves over with these
beauty spots. No lady Of fashion con-
sidered her let complete until she
was equipped with her little box of
patches cut in her favorite design. If
one happened to come off in company,
she hurriedly replaced it with fresh
one from the box.
At length patching in England went
so far that party spirit was symbOliZed
by the position of the patches. A letter
In the paper on June 2, I'LL. tells Of
a visit to the Haymarket and the dis
covery by the writer of three classes
of women in the boxes all differently
patched. Upon inquiry he discovered
that those who patched on the right

those who favored the left were To-
ries, while those who patched indiffer-
emily on either side were a neutral

DIR Lewis. of Port Angeles. Dem,

DIR. Lewis, of Port Angeles, Demo-
cratic candidate for joint senator in
this district, talked about half an hour
at the court house last Saturday to an
audience numbering twenty-five per-
sons - twenty-three men and two
ladies, of whom eighteen are Republi-
cans and seven Democrats. The doctor
assured his hearers that he expected to
be elected, but his speech was quite
barren of reasons why he should be.
1t was principally devoted to defense
of himself against ilnputati0ns of which
few of his hearers had any previous
knowledge, and to reflections upon the
efficiency of his opponent, Mr.. Clapp,
which came in very poor taste, to say
the least, for the doctor must know
very well that if Legislators were judged
solely upon their success in securing
the passage of measures of their own
introduction comparatively few would
receive the endorsement of renomina-
ton. The speaker made what WAS
manifestly intended as a strong plea
for an exemption law to exempt from
taxation the household furniture, tools
Of trade, ETC., of poor men, evidently
not knowing that there is just such a
law in effect now, parsed by Republi-
can legislature. Altogether it was a
weak talk and even if delivered before
a large audience and under the most
favorable conditions 1t could hardly
have made single convert to an al
ready weak cause. The doctor Ia d

TAE. EAST NEEDS EDUCATING

A gentleman from the east recently
made this remark concerning Wash
lngtun:. "The strangest thing to me is
the few people living in this land of
wonderful opportunities n similar
thought has been in the minds OF
others. If the truth concerning the
great northwest were known the taclll-
ties for Transportation would not be
sufficient. People would come III null
titudrs, and would not be provided
with return tickets. 70 make the truth
known seems next to Impossible, for
the east will not believe.
Wien other sections are scorching
under midsummer sun, they cannot
realize tnat here the air Is cool and
balny. When they are frozen, the
fact that the residents of the shores of
Puget Sound have hardly au occasion
to use overcOats does not impress them.
They pass 1t over as fiction. Out
here there are never billiards, drouths
or cyclones, and electrical phenomena
are unknown. There is no such occur
renee as sunstroke. There is not the
crash of thunder. No lightning flashes
across the skies. All the natural cOn-
ultious are SO different from those pre-
vailing on the other coast, or through
out the vast area lying between, that
people will not believe. The only way
in which they can be convinced is by
personal inspection
The chances for the investment of
capital, the fact that there are dormant
here measureless resources awaiting
development, that Puget Sound is a
producer and shipper, are things that
may be learned by the person who
comes to see. That Tacoma lies in the
path of Oriental commerce that is to
dominate the Pacific is the simple
statement of truth, but the east does
not know this. 1t burns in summer,
shivers in winter, and fondly enter
tains throughout the season the theory
that it is the whole thing. Therefore
the east needs educating. The method
is the observation-disclosures Ledger.
