SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable Ware.

Sheffield plate differs from all other
plated ware in that the plating was
done on the sheet metal before the
article was shaped. Before and since
then plating Of various sorts has been
applied only to the finished piece. as in
our electroplating process. Moreover,
the plating was done on copper. while
modern base metal is usually COM
posed of an amalgam of copper, nickel
and zinc
Furthermore, it is possible for the
collector to secure examples of early
Georgian and so called Queen Anne
work in Sheffield plate, while the
rarity and high money value of silver
ware of that period make its acquisi
ton extremely difficult. Sheffield plate
historically and artistically is as worthy
Of place beside old china and old
mahogany as is old silverware.
In 1142 one Thomas Bolsover of
Sheffield. England, described in the
histories as an ingenious mechanic"
accidentally fused some silver and cop
per while repairing q knife. He began
experimenting. seeking for method of
plating copper with silver for the man
ufacture Of small articles. In 1T43, to-
gether with Joseph Wilson. he set up a
factory for the manufacture of buc-
kles, snuffboxes and knife handles.
Joseph Hancock soon got hold of the
secret and, perfecting it, demonstrated
that 1t was possible to initiate the
finest and most richly embossed silver
ware. Settling in Sheffield, he started
the manufacture Of all sorts of domes-
tic pieces Beginning modestly with
horsepower, he later added water pow
er for the rolling process. Other man
ufaCturerS followed his example and
She, Weld plate soon began to replace
pewter on the tables of the English
middle classes. Altogether we know
Of twenty-three important Manufacture
ers of this ware.
The industry lourished until the
middle Of the nineteenth century. and
so few pieces of copper rolled plate
were made after that time that they
need not concern the collector. Electro
plating was discovered or invented by
medical student of Rotterdam, near
Sheffield, And the new process was
! patented on March %. 1910. By 1S5(
the new ware was on the market ev
erywhere, and the industry had beer

CLIMBING AN ICE SLOPE.
Vain and Perlous Effort to Scale
Mount Mckinley.

The long trail to the north brings out
the best in men and the worst, declares
Mr.. Robert Dunn in The Shameless
Diary of an Explorer" AS a member
of party which made vain attempt
to reach the top of Mount Mckinley
he tells something of the hardships OF
one days travel:
Furtively, imperceptibly, the steep
ness had stolen a march on us. AS
one line of footholds gave out we had
to slide deXterOuSly to another The
sleeper slope was swept clear and hard.
Steps had to be cut.
We have only three ice axes. AS
never gave them thought this morn
ing, all of them We're gObbled up when
we started, and l was left with only
one long willow tent pole. 1t was never
meant to balance you in half cut steps
that may or may not hold your toe.
AS the steps changed from a stair
way TO stepladder the other three
betrayed no excitement, no uneasiness.
Neither did | at first, but l felt both.
1t was not dizziness, not vertigo, but
simply that as | looked down the sheer
1000 feet from where we chung by
our toes imagination resistlessly told
over how it would feel, how long it
would last. what the climax in SEN
sation would be, We're l to fail.
As hour succeeded hour | lived each
minute only to make the false step.
Courage is only a matter of self con
troll anyway.
Climbing the highest mountain on
the continent with a tent pole. Some
times l boiled in those dizzy, anxious
places that l had put myself in such
a position with such men. Yet l must
reap my own sowing. Once | asked If
it wasn't customary to rope on such
steep slopes. but no one but Fred an
sU'ered. and he said: " amt gOin' &c
ketch me tied up to anybody. \ mau
don't want to take chances with any
one hut himself, haulin' him dowr
from these places"
One requisite of explorers besides
aversion TO soap and water is insensi
tiveness. They can't see: they can
feel. They couldn't do these stunts il
they did.

Where The Tips Go

But l can tell you something you
don't know about the tipping system
in the ClOakroOms of some of the large
cafes" remarked midnight diner to
his wife.
Why, don't the small boys just
pocket all they get?" inquired she
Pocket. Their uniforms are made
without a sign of a pocket so that none
of the tips can find a lodging there.
Those boys get nothing but a salary,
which is paid by man who has pur
chased the check room privilege for as
high as five thousand Il year, The tips
are all turned into him. You can
imagine what the privilege is worth
when he can pay down that sum for
the right. New York Press

He RlHM. GU HUNGRY.
Neither Did His Partner After Their
Scheme Succeeded.

The man who once was down and
out, but is so no longer. was telling
the other day of one of his poverty
time devices.
He was travelling with another chap
just as much down and out as he. and
both were hungry. Their capital was
insignificant, and they didn't intend to
spend any of it. But they had a re-
volver. which suggested to the Srst
man scheme. 1t worked out some
thing like this:
Il went into a pretty good looking
restaurant" said the prosperous one,
taking a long draw at his cigar. and
as my clothes looked pretty good
wasn't an object of suspicion. | had
an overcoat which belonged to my
partner.
LAS the overcoat and the revolver
were chief characters in the ensuing
drama. they have to be mentioned
prominently. l got seat right near
the door and hung up my coat so that
it was only a step away from the door.
Then l sat down and ordered
square one, a meal that it would be
impossible to describe it was so good
It was favored with the sauce of absti-
nence-from food
Il ate and ate and ate. and by and
by my partner came along. Without
his overcoat-and it was a cold day
he didn't look good. He hung around
the door for a long while. looking like
and beg.
Just about the time he made a sig
nal to me that showed he was about to
enter l got up to go to the cigar couu-
ter to pick out a nice after dinner
smoke. In came my partner and skunk
up to the desk to ask for bit of food.
Nothing doing. He was turned
down cold. Then to make the thing
work better he came up to me and
asked: Say. boss. won't you give me q
lift? I'm down and out l repulsed
him sternIy. and after looking around
he started out.
Il said to the proprietor in virtu-
Gus way. I don't believe in helping
those buns to which he answered
with a snug shake OF the head. when
my partner grabbed the overcoat
knew what he was doing. but l pre-
tended TO be very much interested IL
the cigar until the proprietor yelled
out. Hey. he's stealing your coat"
/ Il held on 10 the cigar. wheeled
around and started for my partner
/ He was half out OF the door. I yelled
/ Drop that" and for answer he drew
! the revolver and fourished il.
The proprietor dropped behind the
counter, and the walters fed to tbs
kitchen. From his place the proprietor
! called out: Look out! He'll shoot you.
/ And. taking my cue. l let him run out
Then when the excitement cleared
off l raised an awful row about losing
the coat, and the proprietor fnall!
came up with the money for new
one, say about $50. Well, did tina
meal pay me? What:"-New Yorl

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
It Is the Most Marvellous Machine In
the World.

II Is the Most Marvellous Machine In
the World.
The human brain is the most mar
veOus machine in the world. 1t occu-
pies less space in proportion to its
capabilities than any machine 1t ever
invented. 1t sends special nerve to
every ultimate fiber of some 500 mus
cles, to many thousand branching
twigs of arteries. to every pinhead
area of the numerous glands which
keep the machine properly oiled, heat
ed or cooled. to some sixteen square
feet of skin. which is the outpost
guard of its castle. with such complete
ness that the point of pin cannot
find an area unguarded. 1t possesses
special quarters for the reception and
translation of a constant stream of vi
bratiOns that are the product of all
things movable or still in the outer
world. On the retina of every open
eye is q picture OF the outer view, a
focused imprint Of every ray of light
and color. and in the visual chamber
of the mental palace stands a vibra-
scope, magic lantern that receives
the retinal picture in its billion speed
ing series of light waves and throws
them upon it's mental screen as liv
ing moving picture Of light and shade
and color In the chamber of sound is
a vibraphone, over whose active wires
passes every wave of sound from the
dripping of the dew to the orchestral
fortissimO. from the raucOus screech
of the locomotive to the signing Of the
wind through the meadow grass. In
the chambers set apart for scent and
taste and touch are the secret service
guards to report upon the air and food
which give sustenance to the palace
and upon the solid qualities of the tao
tile world. And wonder of all Won
ders, this complex human brain can
think in all languages or in no Ian
guage and even conceive its own phys
ical mortality.-Edward A. Ayres in

Afraid Of Lamphere.
Bertha Schultz. salesgirl in the
Laporte Department store. told that
Mrs. Guinness once said she was afraid
Lamphere would burn her house.
Mrs. Nina Shoemaker had seen
Lamphere with a gun going along the
road towards the Guinness house. He
said he was going frog hunting. Later
Mrs. Shoemaker learned that Mrs.
Guinness had caused the arrest of Lam
phero charging him with threatening
her with gun that very day.
Mrs. William Flynn, with the aid of
a chart of the Guinness house, describ-
ed the place for the grand jury. Mrs.
Flynn pointed out the two death
rooms that no ordinary visitors to the
house were permitted to enter. The
witness also showed the jury where
Mrs. Guinness, members of the family
and hired man slept.

where politics have been mixed up
