How Aluminium Utensils Are Made.

The processes used in manufacture
ing utensils and novelties from alumni
mum do not differ essentially from
those used in working up other soft
metals. They are casting, spinning
and stamping. The first of these is
carried out without any special diff
Guilty, except that the heat must be
carefully watched to avoid burning
the metal. Aluminium fills the molds
well, and gives sharp castings. The
articles made by casting are those in
which considerable thickness is re-
quired, and include inkstands, ice
cream dishes, lemon squeezers, spouts
for coffee and teapots, spoons, forks,
letters and numbers for signs.
Numerous utensils are already on
the market in aluminium ware. Fun
nels, beakers, pitchers, lemon squeez-
ers, shakers and strainers for egg
drinks, ice pals, a great variety Of
receptacles for all sorts Of medicinal
preparations, toilet accessories, bath
room attachments, and much chemical
apparatus formerly made of brass,
are to be had. Some alloys Of alumni
mum have also acquired considerable
notably the aluminium
DTOlZeS, WHICH COIlCdlIl copper, and
an alloy with magnesium.
The latter is now used in many bal
ance beams, where it gives excellent
service on account of its rightly,
lightness and resistance to atmo-
spheric influences. Aluminium by it
self is very resistant toward most
chemicals and solutions. 1t dissolves
easily in both inorganic acids and
alkalies, with the exception of nitric
acid, which does not attack it when
either concentrated or dilute. But
organic acids have very little effect
on the metal, and any salts formed
are harmless.
For cleaning aluminium ware some
good polishing powder which contains
very little free alkali should be used.
The luster and white color can be re-
stored to old aluminium by furnishing.
If alkalies are used, the color changes
to blush gray, and the luster van
ishes.-The Pharmaceutical Era.

The Man He Was

An eminent man had passed away
and the whole community seemed
moved with grief. During his life he
had been a lawyer and a judge, and
his brother attorneys passed resolu-
tions Of respect; the church to which
he had belonged fittingly expressed
its sorrow; everyone was saying what
a good Christian gentleman he had
been. At the funeral there were
many; the mourners gathered in
groups, discussing incidents and pass
ages of his life. Among them stood
young laboring man, discussing
with others, and this was his story:
"When | first came to this town /
got a job on an ice wagon. 1t was
heavy work, and / was not as strong
then as l am now, but | got along
all right. One morning / came to de-
liver ice at the judges house just as
he was leaving the house to catch his
train. He hurried past me with
nod. He did not know me, but it
was his custom to be courteous to
everyone. l was carrying one hun
dred and fifty pounds of ice, and it
was pretty heavy load. AS he
passed me he noticed it and turned.
oCC hCiCt yOuIl6 hC ooiNt
can't allow this. Set that down.
81 set it down and he took hold of
the other handle Of the tongs and
helped me carry it. Now said he,
don't undertake such load again.
"He had missed his train, and then
went over to the ice company's office
and told them that the work was too
heavy for boy. His protest resulted
in the obtaining Of two men on a
wagon that carried ice to be delivered
in large cakes. / always thought this
showed the kind of man he was"
The incident seemed trivial COM
pared with others that were told,
some Of which were about large en-
terprises, and conspicuous public ser
vices, but there was something about
it that made lasting impression. 81
am not sure" said one man, "but that
incident best displays his character.

CrOutOns.

For croutons use bread at least "a
hours old. Cut the bread in half inch
slices, then in inch squares. Line a
biscuit pan with kitchen paper and
lay the bread in it. Put the pan in a
moderately hot oven till the bread is
we'll dried, then brown under the gas

color for croutons. The inside should

Mark Twain on Advertising.

When Mark Twain in his early days
was editor of a Missouri paper a su-
perstitious subscriber wrote to him
saying that he had found a spider in
his paper and asked if it was a sign
of good or bad luck. The humorist
wrote his answer and printed it: "Old
MISUNDERSTANDING a spider in your
paper is neither good nor bad luck.
The spider was merely looking over
your paper to see which merchant is

where the other spiders have got their

How to Make Starch From Potato
Culls.

The potato clubs which the Depart
ment of Agriculture has been organic
ing to teach the young people OF
America to grow potatoes were pri-
marily intended for boys. Certain
girls, however, became interested, en-
rolled, and have done particularly
well, not only in management of crop
but in manufacturing homemade po-
tato starch out of the unmarketable
culls of the vegetable.
Each girl when she enrolls in this
club work, which now is being taken
up by $4,000 young people, is given
