Political Prophecy.

All men are intuitive prophets. This
Is part OF their proud claim to the
possession of reason looking before
and after. On all sides one meets
happy warriors protesting to see in
current events only what they fore
saw and predicted. Especially In pub
lie affairs are the most unlikely 6auls
found among the prophets. Who of
us has not been drawn aside by man
bearing none Of the outward insignia
of prophet, who begs his hearer to
mark his words as he proceeds to
unroll the book of fate? His favor.
tie field is political campaigns. He
will tell you who is going to be elect.
ed and why. Near and far his eye
rolls in fine frenzy, and his fore
casts are as universal and sweeping
and-we regret to say-usually as in.
accurate as those of the old-style al
manac. Despite frequent ludicrous
confoundings by the event. this kind
or prophet comes up smiling after
every failure. He is stayed by NO
consideration of probability or the
doctrine of chances. and openly f1outs
the maxim not to prophecy "onless ye
know"

FASHIONS RosEBuDs OF IRON
New Jersey Blacksmith Probably tho
Most SkIIlfui Metal Worker In
the World.

Louis Van Boeckei, the blacksmith
of small Belgian hamlet, has won
more than local fame by his skill In
fashioning flowers from metal by
means of the tools OF his trade. He
has an American rival. however, in the
person of James Gran, a blacksmith
whose smithy Is in Plainfield, N. ].
TT in interesting to watch this
smith make rose," says a writer in
the New York Sun. HE first fashions
the core, and then FORCES the smaller
petals, hammering the ends out fat.
Next, he takes a contrivance shaped
like q screw-driver and opens the out
Br petals first After hollow
Ing out the petals, he grasps the iron
rosebud in pair of tongs, thrusts It
Into the fire, and heats the stems of
the petals. He takes it out OF the fre,
and hammers the stems into q solid
mass.
He forms the larger petals In the
same manner, and having thus made
the complete rose. he graaym It with
larger tongs, heats and hammers It
again, and finally puts the red-hot,
glowing mass In wise.
"All the different parts Of the flower
be FORCES separately. He makes the
veins. or radical RIBS OF the leaves,
with the peen Of the hammer. The
same tool. when It Is slightly tilted.
and its blows directed to the outside
Of the leaf. makes the serrated edges
Of the leaves. He first holds the piece
from which the leaf Is made In the
longs and heats and fiattsns 1t on the
anvil He forms the center rib in the
leaf by letting that part lap over the
edge OF the anvil while he Aattens the
rest Of the leaf.
mr.. Gran works entirely from mem
DRY, and uses no model. His skill in
metal working lie said to be greater
than that of Van Boeckel himself"

LEAVE OUT THE suPERFLUoUS
ont Generation Considers Too
Many wants" as "Needs."

A woman who has been observing
people and things has come to the
conclusion that the expense Of living
today Is largely due to individual in
diligence. People want SO much
more than they formerly did. or at
any rate, If they wanted 1t before.
they often did without it, for expe-
diency's sake; but now, she says, to
want and to have go hand in hand
without regard for expediency. This
woman says: my idea of the wide
spread complaint of the high cost of
living Is that people are not temper
ate In supplying their three principal
wants, namely: food. clothing and
shelter. Some people cut down on
food and shelter and spend an over
abundance on clothing. Others in
dulge themselves in rich foods that
are absolutely unnecessary. Still
others like to live in fashionable
quarters and neglect their food and
shelter. A person to be happy must
preserve balance in all things. One
must be temperate with regard to
food. clothing and shelter. Live in a
respectable but not ultra-fashionable
neighborhood: wear standard clothes.
not the latest Paris fashions; eat
good, substantial food, not rich, tasty
delicacies that cater only to the pal
ate. Is my parting advice"
