A Ruskln Thouaht.

To be content in utter darkness
and ignorance is indeed unmanly,
and therefore we think that to love
and find knowledge must be always
right. Yet wherever pride has any
share in the work even knowledge
and light may be i'll pursued.
knowledge is good, and light is
good, yet man persisted in seeking
knowledge, and the moths perish in
seeking light, and if we who are
crushed before the moth will not ac-
cept such mystery as is needful to
us we shall perish in like manner.
None but the proud will mourn
over this, for we may always know
more, if we choose, by working on.
but the pleasure is, l think, to hum.

GOLD LEAF.
The Many Stages In the Process Of lt'
Manufacture.

Gold leaf, Of which such large
quantities are used by picture frame
makers as well as by other trades,
is made as follows:
An alloy of the desired color hay-
ing been formed, the gold is melted
in a crucible at a temperature well
above the fusion point, 1t is then
cased into an ingot and aattened by
rolling between a pair Of powerful
steel rollers INTO a ribbon one ana a
half inches wide and ten feet in
length to the ounce.
After being fattened it is an
nealed and cut in pieces of about
six and a half grains each and plac-
ed between the leaves Of a "cutch,"
which is about half an inch thick
and three and a half inches square,
containing about $50 leaves of
tough paper manufactured for the
purpose. This is beaten on for
about twenty minutes with n seven
teen pound hammer, by which the
gold is spread to the size Of the
clutch. Each leaf is then taken out
and cut in four pieces.
These are put between the leaves
Of a "shOder' four and a half inches
square and three-quarters of an
inch thick, containing about 72O
skins which have been worn out in
the "mold" or finishing process, de-
scribed later. The shoder requires
about two hours beating with a
nine pound hammer. Each leaf is
again cut in four pieces and placed
between the leaves Of a mold com
posed of about $50 of the finest
gold beaters' skins five inches
square and three-quarters of an
inch thick, the contents of one sho-
der filling three molds.
The material has now reached
the last and most difficult stage of
the process. During the first hour
the hammer is allowed to fall prin-
cipally on the center of the mold,
This causes gaping cracks upon the
edges of the leaves, the sides Of
which rapidly c~oalesee without leav-
inc any trace of the union after be-
ing beaten upon. AT the second
hour, when the gold is about the
one hundred and fifty thousandth
part of an inch in thickness, it for
the first time permits the transmits

crete construction really stands. Stone,
or stone backed with brick, is admit
tedly much higher in cost than other
materials. Frame construction has
not the same standard of cost of other
materials. We cannot, therefore, give
reliable data. One contractor offers
to build a house for $4,000, and an
other wants for the same work $4,000.
What do you get? Simply what you
pay for, no more and no less. The
first house is thrown together, good

is an old house, its value having de-
preciated fully SO per cent. 1t will

will be good for ten or fifteen years,
with repairs beginning about the third

MIR. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building for the readers Of

The man who builds home adds
something to the wealth of the ma
ton and builds himself monument.
That being the case, his monument
should be lasting one. The use OF
concrete in home construction is firm
Iy established, and that material
seems to be providential substitute
for the lumber that is fast disappear
ing. The construction of large con-
crete buildings in the cities has been
an object lesson to the people. 1t has
given them much food for thought,
and as thought begets investigation,
they are fast putting two and two to-

and expert advice must also be good
for them Fortunately they are not
confronted with a proposition fnvofv-
ing intricate engineering problems of
large structures. There is, however,
one point to be made clear, and that
is the cost. This, to the masses,
means much. In talking with people
about concrete, invariably the first
question asked is How does concrete
construction compare as to cost with
other building materials?" In answer
ing this question let us take up an
analysis of the cost of the different
materials briefly and see where con-

1t is said that blocks have a same
ness. This also can be said of brick.
The design of the house shown in
this connection presents the oppor-
tunity of construction with blocks. If
the wall is laid of blocks and plastered
on the exterior with cement mortar
the objection to the sameness Of the
blocks can be removed. This house
is 80 feet, 6 inches wide and 33 feet
long The porch columns can be built

Entrance to the house is afforded

A month of rain and month of high
winds had kept the Little Lonely Girl
b prisoner. Hence, on the first sun
shiny morning in october she sailed
forth, locking the door of her room.
high up in the tall tenement, with a
sense of joy and of freedom unknown
to those whose lives are not bounded
by four narrow walls.
The Little Lonely Girl carried very
small basket and a thumbed paper
backed volume. Over her arm hung a
however, as If her feet wanted to fly
over the ground and take her as quick
lly as possible from the grimy street
where she lived.
1t was ten o'clock when she reached
the goal of her desires. Most people
would have seen nothing attractive In
the stretch of stone sea wall at the
end of smoke stained city park. But
there was a curve in the wall which
made rest for the Little Lonely Girls
back, and, with the shawl tucked In
for a cushion and her book In her lap,
she could read and watch the ships,
and drink in the freshness of the
sharp, salt air.
At noon she was ready for her lunch,
and the hard-boiled egg and slice OF
bread seemed wholly inadequate to the
demands of her appetite. She ate the
very last crumb, then flung the box
from the top of the wall. With it went
a fine white napkin, which was left
over from more af1uent days. She
craned her neck to look where it fell,
and saw it fiutter across the eyes OF

sands below.
He looked up.
