Girls Work at the Forge.

There is a sturdy smithy at Leeds,
England, who has eight muscular
daughters, all of whom he has trained
to assist him at his work. At present
four are at work in his shop. The 9TH
er four welded the hammer for sever
al years and then left the business to
take up the duties of running homes of
their own. Every day these four
daughters of the master smith are to
be seen at the anvils following the
trade of their fathers. They are up
early and spend the working hours in
making gas hooksEbroad bent nails,
which are used by plumbers for fast
ening gas pipes to walls. 1t is not
such hard task, yet the work requires
great patience and enduring strength.
The heavy part of the work is per-
formed by machine worked with the
foot. After the mechanical device has
finished it's labors the fair blacksmiths,
with sleeves rolled up, put the finish
ing touches on the hooks with hand
hammer and get them ready for mar
ket. The girls are fond of their work.
They toll on a piecework basis, and
the ingenious, blacksmith calls each a
full hand"

Maqnificent Eeastern Potentates


The Indian princes at the corona
ton of King Edward were encircled
with ropes of pearls, one or two of
them had pearls attached to their
ears, and diamonds, rubies and other
priceless gems hung in clusters
about them.
OF the Indian princes the most
noticeable was the Maharajah of
Gwallor, in turban encrusted with
jewels. His wrist was covered with
a bracelet of diamonds, and on his
back hung a shield blazing with jew
elsa magnificent example of an east
ern potentate clad in the splendor of
the splendid east.
Ras Makonnen, the Abyssinian en-
voy, was another guest whose costume
was of character most striking. 1t
included the curious-looking, crown
shaped headdress, formed from a
lions name, which is only displayed
upon high state occasions. Under
his flowing robe he showed a superb
breastplate of velvet interworked
with gold, and behind him an interpre-
ter carried his gold shield and his inn
mense sword, too sweeping and scimi-
tar-like to be worn in a crowded room.

Rev. Brown performed the ceremony,

New silk from South Africa.

Gold and silver silk is coming from
South Africa, says an English publica-
ton. The hbreS are spun by two re-
markable spiders of RhOdesia, and an
experimenter has found that the crea-
lures may be reared in captivity and
that the silk can be utilized. Both
filaments have a brilliant metallic lus-
ter and are very fine and strong, the
fineness of the golden silk being about
that of the silkworms thread, but the
strength being much greater. A thread
of steel of the same size, in fact, has
only two-thirds the strength of this
spiders thread.
