Gold Beating Done as
IL Was Centuries Ago

For 80 centuries gold leaf has been
made In one way and the yellow metal
that Is used on store windows and
office doors Is Identical with that which
gilded the throne of Pharaoh.
Small crumbs Of gold placed be-
tween layers Of parchment, called gold
beaters' skins, were beaten intermin-
ably with Eallets. AS the gold spread
under the blows 1t was cut, put be-
tween more skins and labOriously beat
en- again for days and weeks until one
grain of the precious metal, weighing
about one 6ve-hundredth Of an ounce,
became an almost impalpable sheet of
10 square inches. The cost Of the
labor greatly Outweighed the cost OF
the gold, says the New York Herald
Tribune.
Electro chemistry has now entered
the field and a new process recently
invented promises to make gold leaf
far less expensive. Upon ribbon OF
thin silver a film of gold is electrically
deposited from a solution Of gold and
potassium cyanide. The silver ribbon
with the gold on it's upper side, Is then
laid upon a celluloid band and i'm
mersed In a bath of nitric acid This
eats away the silver, which Is later
recovered, and leaves the gold leaf on
the celluloid band. There 1t Is washed
in alcohol and the warm air from cleo
trio fans blows the gold leaf fEum the
celluloid and slides 1t between pro
tecting leaves of paper. 49,

Lotteries Haze Firm
Hold on All Italians

The national sport Of Italy is the
lottery. 1t Is the popular sport of all
classes. There are many kinds of lot
teriss, beat the one which seems to hold
the popular favor is the weekly one.
The charm of this weekly lottery lies
In the fact that the buyer of ticket
can play a hunch. Since all Italians
are superstitious, it is only natural
that each has a particular "hunch" On
the winning numbers in the lottery.
The eight largest cities in the king
dom are listed and after each city five
numbers appear. Should anyone have
an idea that Naples would draw 4, il,

new M. E. CHURCH
TO Be ORGANIZED
THE FIRST METHODIST JUNIOR
CHURCH WILL. HOLD SERV-
ICES NEXT SUNDAY.

For some time past the machinery
of the First Methodist Church has
been in motion arranging for the or
ganization of Junior Church. The
arrangements have progressed suf'
ficiently to hold the first service next
Sunday morning at 11:10. Some adj
ditional furniture is being placed IN
the League room, converting 1t into
a chapel, where the Junior Church
services will be held.
A regular and complete church or
ganizatiOn will be perfected with all
officers. committees and regular Of
ficial board Just as the regular church
has. and the regular church services
each Sunday morning will be held.
OF course the service will be greP'lv
abbreviated, the sermon occupying
from five to eight minutes by the reg
ular pastor, the entire service beng
concluded before the regular II 30
morning service begins. The Sunday
School service in the Junior and Pri-
mary departments will be shortened
about five minutes. and these depart
ments will go Immediately into this
church service.
This plan of Junior Church is in
operation in many of the larger cities
in the North, and has generally met
with good success. 1t is the opinion
of the pastor, Rev. C. B. Ware, who
has had some experience in this type
of work that there is a great need
for this kind of worshipful service
for the children, so many of whom do
not attend any regular church and
preaching service. And he expects
that this movement will meet with
real success

Famous English Regiment

The name "Ironsides" was given to
a famous regiment of one thousand
horse that served under Oliver Crom-
well, in allusion to the iron courage
displayed ty it at the battle Of Mars
ton Moor, 1914. Members Of the
"Ironsides" were chiefly recruited from
the eastern counties Of England. They
were extremely religious, almost to
man, and enjoyed the proud distinc-
ton Of never having been defeated in
battle. Cromwell said Of them in q
speech, the year before his death,
truly they were never beaten, but
whenever they were engaged against
the enemy they beat continually

Rocking chairs are commonly ~
ferred to as an American institution
purely. They had their greatest devel-
opment, of course, during the Nine
teenth century. when they passed
through the stage Of makeshfft rock
ers cut fiat on top with the bottom In
the form of an arc, to those which
constituted an integral part Of the
chair, and from these to those mon
strosities of furniture called patent
rockers. That was the beginning Of
their decadence, says the Boston Tran
script. Rocking chairs are made now,
but they are simple in construction,
and the elaborate arrangements Of
springs and bases are known no more.
