A SMILE AND A FROWN.
Only a. frown! yet it pressed a sting
Into the day which had been so glad; ’
The red rose turned to a scentlcss thing,
The bird song ceased with discordant ring,
And a heart was heavy and sad.
Only a. smile! yet it cast a spell
Over the sky which had been so gray;
The rain made music wherever it fell,
The wind sung the song of a marriage bell.
And a heart: was light and gay.
—-Einma C. Dowd in Frank Leslie‘s.
AN INVERTED LOVE STORY.
I am a poor, paralyzed fellow. who for
many years past. has been confined to a
bed or a sofa. For the last six years I
have occupied a. small, room, looking on to
one of the narrow side canals of Venice,
having no one about me but a. deaf old
woman, who makes my bed and attends
to my food; and here I eke out. a poor in-
come ot about £30 a year by making
water color drawings of flowers and
fruit (they are the cheapest: models in
Venice), and these I send to a friend in
London, who sclk them to a dealer for
small sums. But, on the whole, I am
happy and content. .
It is necessary that. I should describe the
position of my room rather minutely. Its
only window is about; five feet above the
water of the canal, and above it the house
projects some six feet, and overhangs t-hc
rater, the projecting portion being sup-
ported bystout piles driven into the bed
of the canal. This arrangement has the
disadvantage (among otherS) of so limit-
ing my upward view that I am unable to
see more than about ten feet of the height
of the house immediate opposite to me,
although by reaching as far out of the
window as my infirmity will permit I can
see for a considerable distance up and
down the canal, which does not exceed
fifteen feet in width. But, although I can
see but; little of the material house oppo-
site, I can see its reflection upside down in
the canal, and I contrive to take a good
deal of inverted interest in such of its iii—
'habitants as show themselves from time
to time (always upside-down) on its bal-
conies and at its windows.
W'hcn I first occupied my room, about
six years ago, my attention was directed
to the reflection of a/litt-le girl of 13 or so
(as nearly as I could judge), who passed
every day on u. balcony just above the up-
ward rangc of my limited field of view.
She had a glass of flowers and a crucifix
on a little table by her side, and as she sat
there, in fine weather, from early morn-
ing until dark, working assiduously all
the time, I concluded that she earned
her living by needlework. She was cer-
tainly an industrious little girl, and as far
as I could judge by her upside down rc-
ficction, neat in her dress and pretty.
She had an old mother, an invalid, who
on warm days would sit on the balcony
with her, and it interested me to see the
little maid wrap the old lady in shawls"
and bring pillows for her chair and a stool
for her feet, and every now and again lay
down her work and kiss and fondle the
old lady for half a. minute, and then take
up her work again. ~
’l‘imc went by, and as the little maid
grew up her reflection grew down, and at
last she was quite a little woman of, I
suppose, 16 or 17. I can only work for a.
couple of hours or so in the brightest part
of the day, so I had plenty of time on my
hands in which to watch her movements,
and sufficient imagination to weave a lit-
tle romance about; her, and to endow her
with a beauty which, to a great extent, I
had to take for granted. I saw—or
fancied that I could see—that she began
to take an interest in my reflection (which,
of course, she could see as‘ I could see
hers); and one day, when it appeared to
me that she was looking right at me—I
tried the desperate experiment of nodding
to her, and to my intense delight her re-
flection nodded to me in reply. And so
our two reflect-ions became known to one
another.
It: did not take me very long to fall in
love with her, but a long time passed be-
fore I could make up my mind to do more
than nod to her every morning, when the
old woman moved me from my bed to the
sofa at the window, and again in the even-
ing, when the little maid left; the balcony
for that day. One day, however, when I
saw her reflection looking at mine, I nod—
ded to her and threw a. flower into the
canal. She nodded several times in re-
turn, and I saw her direct her mother’s
attention to the incident. Then every
morning I threw a flower in the water for
"good morning,” and another in the even-
ing for “good night,” and I soon discov-
ered that I had not thrown them altogether
in vain, for one day she threw a. flower to
join mine, and she laughed and clapped
her hands as the two flowers joined forces
and floated away 'together. And then
every morning she threw her flower when
I threw mine, and when the two flowers
met she clapped her hands, and so did I;
but when they were separated, as they
sometimes were, owing to one of them
having met an obstruction which did
110'»;- catch the other, she threw up her
hands in a pretty affectation of despair,
which I tried to imitate, but in an Eng-
lish and unsuccessful fashion. And when
they were rudely run down by a. passing
gondola (which happened not infrequently)
she pretended to cry and I did the same.
Then, in pretty pantomime, she would
point downward to the sky, to tell me
that it.was destiny that caused the ship-
wreck of our flowers, and I, in pantomime
not nearly so pretty, would try to convey
to her that destiny would be kinder next
time, and that, perhaps, to—morrow our
flowers would be more fortunate—and so
the innocent courtship went on. One day
she showed me her crucifix and kissed it,
and thereupon I look a little silver cruci—
fix which always stands by me, and kissed
that, and so she knew that we were one
in religion.-
One day the little maid did not appear
on her balcony, and for several days Isaw
nothing of her, and although I threw my
flower as usual no flower came to keep it
company. However, after a time she re-
appeared dressed in black and crying
often, and then I knew that the poor
child’smcther was dead, as far as I knew
she was alone in the world. The flowers
came no more for many days, nor did she
show any sign of recognition, but kept her
eyes on her work, except when she placed
her handkerchief to them. And opposite
to her was the old lady’s chair, and I
could see that from time to time she
would lay down her work and gaze at it,
and then a flood of tears would come to
her relief. But at last one day she roused
herself to nod to me, and then her flower
came. Day after day my flower went
forth to join it, and with varying fortunes
the two flowers sailed away as of yore.
But the darkest day of all to me was
when a good looking young gondolier,
standing right end uppermost in his gon-
dola (for I could see him in the flesh),
worked his craft alongside the house and
stood talking to her as she sat on the
balcony. They seemed to Speak as old
friends—indeed, as well as I could make '
out, he held her by the hand during thr
whole of their interview, which lasted
quite half an hour. Eventually he pushed
ofi’, and left my heart heavy within me.
But I soon took heart of grace, for so soon
as he was out of sight the little maid
threw two flowers growing on the same
stem—an allegory of which I could make
nothing, until it broke upon me that she
meant to convey to me that he and she
were brother and sisfler, .and that I had no
cause to be sad. And thereupon I nodded
to her cheerily, and she nodded to me and
laughed aloud, and I laughed in return,
and all went on again as before.
rThen came a dark and dreary time, for,
it became necessary that I should undergo
treatment that confined me absolutely to;
my bed fOr, many day's, ‘and I'worri'c‘d'and
fretted to think that the little maid and I
gould see each other no longer, and worse~
still, ~than: she Would, think that I had goné
away without even having hinted to her
that I was going. And I lay awake at
night wondering how I could let her know
the truth, and fifty plans flitted through
my brain, all appearing to, be feasible
enough at night, but absolutely wild and
impracticable in the morning. One day—-
and it was a bright day indeed for inc—1
the old woman who attended me told me
that a gondolier. had inquired whether the
English Signor had gone away or had died;
and so I learned that the little maid had
been anxious about me, and that fill? had
sent her brother to inquire, and the
brother had no doubt taken to her the
- reason of my protracted absence from the
window, ,
From that day, and ever- after, during
my three weeks of bed keeping, a flower
was found every morning on the ledge of
my window, which was within easy reach
of any one in a boat, and when at last a
day came when I could be moved I took
my accustomed place on the sofa. at the
window, and the little maid saw me and
stood on her head, so to speak, and clapped.
her hands upside down with a delight that
was as eloquent as any right and up de:
light 9011111 11.055011)! 1182 $0. the tit-St time
the gondolic'r passed my window I beck-
oned to him, and he pushed up along-
side and told me, with many bright smileS,
that he was glad indeed to see me we.“ ‘
again. Then I thanked mm and his
sister for their kind thoughts about me
during my retreat, and I then learned from
him that; her name was Angela, and that
she was the best and purest maiden of all
Venice, and that any one might think
himself happy indeed who could call her
sister, but; that he was happier even than
her brother, for he was to be married to
her, and indeed they were to be married
the next day.
Thereupon my heart seemed to swell to
bursting, and the blood rushed through
my veins . so that; I could hear it and
nothing else for a while. I managed at
last to stammer forth some words of
awkward congratulation, and he left me,
singing merrily, after asking permission
to bring his bride to see me on the morrow
as they returned from church.
“For,” said he, “my Angela has known
you for very long—ever since she was a
child, and she has often spoken to me of
bite poor Englishman who was a good
Catholic, and who lay all day long for
years and years on a sofa at a. window,
and she had said over and over again how
dearly she wished that she could speak to
him and comfort him; and one day, when
you threw a flower into the canal, she
asked me whether she might throw an-
other, and I told her yes, for he would
understand that it meant sympathy with
one who was sorely afflicted.”
And so I learned that it was pity, and
not love, except indeed such love as is
akin to pity, that prompted her to interest
herself in my welfare, and there was an
end of it all.
For the two flowers that I thought were
on one stem were two flowers tied to-
get-her (but I could not tell that), and they
were meant to indicate that; she and the
gondclier were afiianced lovers, and my
expressed pleasure at this symbol dc-
lighted her, for she took it to mean that I
rejoiced in her happiness.
And the. next day the gondolier came
with a train of other gondoliers, all decked
in their holiday garb, and in his gondola
sat Angela, happy and blushing at her
happiness. Then he and she entered the
house in which I dwelt, and came into my
room (and it was strange indeed, after so
many years of inversion, to see her with
her head above her feet), and then she
wished me happiness and a speedy restor-
ation to good health (which could never
be), and I, in broken words and with tears
in my eyes, gave her the little crucifix
that had stood by my bed or my table for
so many years. And Angela took it
reverently, and crossed herself, and kissed
it, and so departed with her delighted
husband. ,
And as I heard the song of the gondo-
lier; as they went their way—the. song
dying away in the distance as the shadows
of the sundown closed around inc—I felt
they were singing, the requiem of the only
love that had ever entered my hearts-4V.

SCHOOLS ON THE CONTINENT.
Germany Stands Ahead—Austria and
Italy—Belgium. ,
Germany stands ahead of all other na-
tions in the excellence of its primary and
swondary schools. The well
Realschulen, many of which now com-
prise ten classes and are co-ordinate with
the gymnasia, afford an education which
is perhaps the best possible general prep-
aration for commercial or trade pursuits.
In these schools the classical languages
are not taught and the time thus saved is
devoted to modern languages and science.
In addition schools of commerce are found
in nearly all the large towns of Germany.
There are certain differences between the
systems of commercial education and in-
' deed of education generally as adopted in
Bavaria, Saxony and Prussia. The mer—
cantile schools are well attended and they
are practically independent of government
aid. Several of the real schools have
a. commercial department, but besides
these there are in Germany seventeen
special schools of commerce, the leaving
certificate of which is recognized as con-
ferring the right of one year's military
service; nine middle schools with a less
extended curriculum, and a. large number
of evening schools, which are attended by
clerks, merchants' apprentices, and other
persons engaged in mercantile houses.
\Vith the view of meeting the require-
ments of young men who desire to attend
special courses of instruction on com-
mercial subjects some of the polytechnic
schools of Germany have arranged courses
of lectures, which are intended for those
who are seeking places under the govern-
ment in the customs and excise ofiices,
but are followed by other students who
have received their early education at a.
gymnasium or rcalschule and whose cir-
cumstances enable them to spend a year
or two at college before commencing busi-
ness.
In Austria-Hungary there are nine high
schools of commerce, eleven intermediate
schools. and forty-two schools intended
principally for clerks. There is nothing
that calls for special notice in the subjects
of instruction in these schools. The course
of study is very similar to that in the
- corresponding schools of Germany. The
most important of the high schools is
in Vienna. and is known as the Handels
akademie. It gives two courses of in-
struction, the one occupying three years
and the other two years. The subjects of
instruction are nearly the same as those
of the French high schools.
In Italy the subject of commercial edu-
cation is receiving careful attention. The
system of bifurcation commences imme-
diately after a child has the elementary
school. Those intended for industrial pur-
suits pass on to the technical school
(scuola teenica) and thence to the techni-
cal institute. Others pass through the
corresponding classical schools to the uni-
versity. The technical institute corre.
sponds to some extent with the higher real
schools of Germany, but each institute
contains three or more separate depart-
ments, in which the institution is special—
ized with a. view to different branches of
industry. There are sixty-five technical
institutes in Italy, in many of which there
is a. department entirely devoted to com—
mercial education.
In Belgium there are numerous middle
schools, the object of which is to prepare
youths for commercial pursuits. The
fact that the children of the middle classes
are destined, for the most part, to earn
their livelihood in trade or commerce is
recognized in the general scheme of inter-
mediate education adopted in Belgium,
and the course of school studies is ar-
ranged accordingly.——Philip Magnus in
Contemporary Review.
Growing Army of Criminall-
The criminal statistics of the country
present two very discouraging features.
They show that the increase of criminals
is out of all proportion to the increase in
population, and that this disproportionate
increase is almost entirely among the
young. The warden of the Jolict penis
tentiary, in a recent address, stated that
the criminals of the United States num-
bered 500,000, and that the increase in
criminals during the past thirty years has
been twi’ce as great proportionally as the
increase in population. Worse than this,
he claims that of this half million more
than one-third, or 167.000, are under 20
years of age; more than one-half, or 250,-
000, under 21 years of age, and two-thirds,
or 333,300, are under 22 years of age. In
other words, there me two young crim-
inals to one old one.
Of this large army of criminals only
one-tenth, or 50,000, are in confinement
in penal institutions at any one time, the
other nine-tenths being at large preying
upon organized society in various ways.—

Possibilities of Saccbarlne.
Sacchnrine, it seems, need not cause
anxiety to the sugar plantepsl It is true
saccharine is now an article of commerce;
that one grain of it will sweeten a cup of
tea on coffee; that it may be safely em-
ployed by diabetes patients, and by per-
.sons suffering from gout affections and
liver complaints; that sweetmeats made
with it cause no. acidity, and that it has a.
wide field of usefulness in pharmacy. On
the other hand, its manufacture is too
costly to compete with sugar, Sir Henry
Roscoe, in a. communication published in
The How Bulletin, says he does not be‘

of common use, It is not food, as sugar
is. and its price puts it out of competition.

- A FAIRY TALE.
A vagabond, with bare feet and hair
floating on the wind, passed along the
street before the palace of the king. lie
was very young and very beautiful, with
golden curls, great black eyes and. a
mouth as fresh as a rose after the rain.
As if the sun took pleasure in shining
upon him, he had more light and joy upon
his rags than the noble damcs and gentle-
man, grouped in the court of honor, had
upon their satius. brocadcs and velvets.
“Oh, but she is beautiful!” cried he,
suddenly stopping before the. palace,
,where he saw the Princess Rosalind tak-
ing the air other window, And really it
was impossible to find anything on earth
more beautiful than the princess.
Immovublc, with his arms raised to-
ward the lattice, as if to an opening into
the heavens where they entered into Para-
dise, he stood there, and would have re-
mained so all night if the guards had not
chased him away with their halberds and
their hard words.
He went with bent head and faltering
steps. Everything was dark before and
around him—the sky, the trees, the
flowers-since he could no longer see
Rosalind. He thought the sun was dead.
He sat dorvn under an oak at the entrance
to the wood and began to cry.
“Why are you so unhappy, my chilt ?”
asked an old woman who came out of the
forest,‘her back bent under a load of dried
fagots. . ‘
“What good would it do to tell you, my
good woman? You can do nothing for
me.”
“May be you deceive yourself,” said the
hag. At the same time she arose and
throw off her load of ingots. She was no
longer an old woman, but a most beauti-
ful fairy, dressed in a robe of silver, her
hair wreatlted with flowers and precious
stones and her voice sweeter than the song
of the birds. .
“Oh, good fairy,” cried the vagabond,
falling on his knees, “have pity on my
misfortune! I have seen the daughter of
the king standing at her window and my
heart is no longer my own. I feel that i
can love no other woman.”
“Good!” said the fairy, “but that is not.
such a dreadful misfortune.”
“It is for me, for I shall die if I do not
become the husband of the princess.”
“Well, what; prevents your becoming
her husband? She is not betrothed to any
one." ~
“0h, madame, look at my rags, at my
bare feet. I am but a. poor beggar of the
streets.”
“No matter; that is no reason you
should not be loved—eve'n devotedly loved.
Make a wish and it shall be fulfilled. ”
“I wish to be the most powerful prince
on the earth, so that I can marry the
princess that I adore.”
“So be it,” said the fairy with a. sigh:
“I only hope you may be happy.” Then
with a golden rod she touched him on the
shoulder and straightway the beggar was
changed into a magnificent prince, daz-
zling in silk and jewels and mounted on a
splendid charger at the head of a troop of
plumed court-iers and warriors with golden
armor and trumpeters proclaiming his
rank.
So great a prince is always well rc-
ccivcd at; any court. ' The father of Rosa-
lind treated him with most distinguished
consideration. For a whole week balls
and fetes of every kind were gotten up in
his honor; but he cared nothing for all
these pleasures.
Every hour of the day and the night he
thought of Rosallhd. When he saw her
' he felt his heart overflow with delight;
when he heard her speak he thought he
listened to the music of the angels; and
once, when she gave him her hand in the
dance, he came near swooping outright.
Yet there was one thing which troubled
him; she whom he loved so dearly did not
appear to take the least notice of his devo-
tion; she was nearly always silent and
melancholy. Nevertheless he persisted in
the demand he had made upon the king
and queenfor her hand. and you may be
sure the royal parents took good care not
to refuse so desirable a husband for her.
And thus the vagabond that was was
about to marry the most beautiful princess
in the world. So great was his happiness,
so wild his delight when the king gave
his consent that he indulged in the most
extravagant capers, little in keeping with
the dignity of his rank, and with trifling
encouragement he would have danced the
can-can all alone, in the presence of the
whole court.
Alas, this great joy was of short dura~
tion! On pain of disobeying the royal and
paternal will, Rosalind one day fell faint-
ing into the arms of her maids of honor,
and when she revived declared with sobs,
and wringing her hands, that she would
never marry—that she would kill herself
before she would marry the prince.
More desperate than one is able to ex-
press, the unhappy lover—in spit-e of eti-
quette—rushed to the chamber where
they had carried the princess, fell upon
his knees, and extending his arms toward
her, cried: “Cruel one, take back those
words which kill me?”
Slowly opening her eyes, she languidly,
but firmly, replied:
"Prince, not-hing can overcome my res-
olution—I will never marry you.”
“What! You have the barbarit-y to tear
a heart that is all yours! What crime
have I committed to merit such punish-
ment? Do you doubt; my love for you?
Do you fear that I shall cease to adore
you? Ah, if you could only read my
heart, you would no longer have any
doubts or fears; and if you cannot be
moved by my cntrcaties, I will find a. way
to remedy my woes. Give me hope,
princess, or I shall die here at your feet.”
He was carried away by his love, and
said anything and everything that the
most violent grief could inspire in a break-
Ing heart.
Rosalind was touched by his cntrcaties,
and said: “Unhappy prince, If my pity in-
stead of my love can be any consolation
to you I give it most willingly. I am
much more inclined to your entreaties
because I endure myself the same for-
ments that you suffer.”
“What is it you say, princess?”
“Alas, if I refuse to marry you it is be
cause I love another without hope—a
young vagabond with bare feet and hair
floating on the wind, who passed before
the palace one day and regarded me with
tender, loving ‘eyes, but: has never re-
turned. Him only will I marry, but no
other.”
Overcome by amazement and despair
the prince heard the soft voice of the fairy
whisper;
“Thy wish has becc'ime thy punish-
ment.” .

Where Quill Toothpick: Are Made.
Everybody knows thdt a bunch of quill
picks can be bought at a drug store for a
nickel, and there the popular knowledge
ends. A reporter started out to find the
fountain head of quill toothpicks. The re-
tail druggist said that: he bought them of
the wholesale dealer in drugs and notions.
The reporter made atour of the wholesale
drug houses, and at every one he was in-
formed that they purchased them either
in New York or imported them from
France and Germany, and that was all
they knew about it. The feather dealers
had little or no light to throw upon the
subject. The manufacturers of feather
dusters were ignorant regarding the quill
pick industry.
Finally a, gentleman, who is the buyer
for a large drug house, was found, who
had seen'a factory where the quill piclfi
were made. When asked the question,
tic said; “I do not know of any factory in
his, country where quill toothpicks are
made. We buy ours from a. broker in
Earls, who obtains them from a large
manufactory near that city. M. Bardin,
at J oinville le Pout, near~ Bar-is, had the
_ largest nianufactory in, the would engaged
in the quill industry. He has 2,000,000
geese, and produces annually 20,000,000
Quins. Formerly this factory made quill
pens, but when these went out of general
use the quills were used to make brushes
for artists and toothpicks. The picks are
made by machinery, and are put up in
bundles of ten each, and these are in
packages containing 1,000. The price is
so low that there is very little margin of
rofit in the’business,
The wooden toothpick has taken the
place of the quill, and these latter are
made mostly in the cast, but there are
factories in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and
\Visconsin, where wooden toothpicks are
made very cheaply. Fond du Lac, W'is.,
has a factory that turns out millions of
wooden picks every week. They come
'.,000 in a box, and cost but five cents per
box to the consumer. The quill pick costs
five cents per bunch of ten, but they are
far better than the wooden ones. Of
course there area great many feathers
grown in this country, but other uses
have been found for the quills. A big
factory in Michigan, located at Goldwater,
makes a feather-bone for whips, corsets,
etc, Brush factories use the quills for
camcls’ hair pencils, but I do not believe
there is a. factory in America where quill
réks are made—Chicago Inter Ocean.
TRICKS 0F ENGINES.
A FEW OF THE ILLS TO WHICH LO<
COMOTIVES ARE SUBJECT.
' Taking a. Notion to Run Away—“Foam.
ing"—'l‘hc Trick of Going Lame—Tile
Odd Feat of Jumping—Breaking a
Spring.
One of the most common tricks that ens
gincs play is that of running away. The
engineer will close the valves and get out
of the cab, leaving her standing quietly
and submissively, and all of a sudden she
takes a notion to run away, and the next
thing he knows she is shooting up the,
track at the top of her speed, and when
she gets away she generally keeps on run-
ning until her steam gives out. That may
not be until she has run into another
train, but little does she care for conse-
quences; she is off on a tear and she
means to make the most of it. Just why
engines do this or how is a mystery. How
the throttle can open itself or how the en-
gine can run with its throttle closed is
beyond the ken of engineers, but they do
it and sometimes play havoc, too. They
generally pick the time when they have
been on their good behavior for a few
days, and when their master’s confidence
in them is high, to play this- particular
prank, and therefore they are generally
successful when they try it.
Another trick they havej‘is that of
“foaming.” Without. any warning or ap-
parent reason the wnt-er in the boiler will
begin to foam instead of making steam,
and it will bubble up like the boiling
water in a teakettle, and look like a very
much disturbed tub of soapsuds. No
steam can be obtained from foaming
water, and the only thing the engineer can
do is to let it; run out and turn In a fresh
supply; but that takes time and causes a.
delay, and all for a whimsical notion
that the engine got into her hard héad.
Foaming, however, is a trifle compared
with the trouble that is caused when she
“goes lame.” and the work of getting her
trim is not nearly so great. She goes lame
from two causes. She does not stub her
toe or have any one step on her acres, but
she either slips an eccentric or does not
“cough” regularly. The eccentrics work
on the axle of the main drivers, and
sometimes the outer ring will slip off the
inner, or eccentric proper, and fall down
on the axle. As the eccentrics work the
valves in the steam chest, the supply of
steam is cut off from the cylinder when
one of them slips, and consequently the
engine stops as short as grandfathers
clock. ‘
NOT AN EASY JOB.
Then the engineer has to crawl under
the machine, take out the bolts which
hold the ring, place it back in position
and screw it on again. That is easy
enough to talk about, but not so easy to
do, for the ring and rod attached to it
weigh over 100 pounds. it; is by no means
a. light. task to get underneath an engine
or: move an iron ring of that weight into
position. The coughing is not the result
of a cold, but is the discharge of the
steam from the cylinder after it has been
used. She ought to cough four times to
each revolution of the driving wheel, but
when the valves choke she will only cough
twice or three times, and t: remedy that
the cup of the steam chest must; be re-
moved and the valves given a (lose of oil.
‘ One of the oddest feats that an engine
performs is that of jumping. It is not
the intention to tell the old stories of how
one engine jumped over another to avoid
a. collision, or of that enginejn the wild
west which jumped across a;- canon when
the bridge had fallen; but ally engines
do jump 11. little. \Vhen th‘ are travel-
ing at a. very high rate of .3 ed and they
run over a stone or any little“ obstruction
on the track, they will jump clear of the
track ten or twelve inches, and in almost
every case they will light squarely on the
rails when they come down. That is
probably because the engine knows that
it is a dangerous thing to jump off the
track, and, as she is not at all vicious in
playing her pranks, she leaps up, then -
runs smoothly along after giving the engi-
neer and fireman a good scare. When an
engine is in a bad humor, instead of play-
ing some innocent trickpf' that kind she
breaks down completely and “then she
makes a lame trip to the shops.
BREAKING A SPRING.
The most frequent accident is the break-
ing of one of the springs on which the
body of the engine rests. That is liable
to occur whenever she runs over a rough
joint; in the track. It would seem impos-
sible to raise the body back to its position
if the accident should occur any distance
from the shops, but the engineers have a
very simple way of doing it. Blocks of
wood are placed just behind the wheels
on the side on which the spring broke.
The engine is run back and the wheels,
running on the blocks, lift that side so
high above the ground that the body is
level. A beam is placed under the body
and the blocks are then removed, the
wheel falling back to the track. That
leaves the body in its original and proper,
position, and blocks of wood are substitu~
ted for the broken spring. In that condi-
tion she is run to the shop for repairs.
The straps which hold the driving bars to
the pins in the wheels sometimes break,
too, and frequently the pins are also
broken, but accidents of that kind gen-
erally occur on a slippery truck. When
the rails are wet, if the engine has a heavy
load, the 'whecls will slip around at a
lively rate, but; the engine will not move
fort 11rd an inch. Then the engineer
opens the sand box, and if he pours too
much sand on the rails the wheels will
take hold too suddenly and the strap
snaps, or out comes the pin. Then the"
engine is totally paralyzed on that side
and she has to be run into the shop with
no side only.
These are a few of the ills to which a
locomotive is subject, and her ailments
begin at her birth, and end only when she

cigarettes fox- 'l’arisians.
When Parisian ladies smoke, they use
deliciously scented cigarettes tinetured
with roses, car-nations or heliotropc. A
French journalist has recently visited
the great establishments where cigarettes
are manufactured for fashionable women
exclusively. The most expensive kind
made unites the fragrance of delicate
flowers with o. soupcon of opium. The
journalist being evidently a woman scolds
the Parisian belles for dcbasing them-
selves to the level of the brute creation
-—man—-and warns them that they are
ruining their teeth and contracting the
bondage of the opium habit. The soup-
con of the Chinese drug should be left
out, of course; but it might not be a. bad
idea to encourage efieminato youth of the
masculine sort to smoke these ladies’
cigarettes. . Heliot-rope, carnation or rose
perfume might do something toward
fumigating the smell of burnt paper
which now pervades the atmosphere of
streets and parlors—New York Tribune.

THE CAMERA’S PATRONS. I
THE PUBLIC APT TO MAKE NEW
PHOTOGRAPHERS POPULAR.
A Business Almost Entirely Dependent
on the Fluctuations of Public Fin-on.
Progress in the Art of Photographing.
The liaguen‘cotypo.
There seems to be no business so en-
tirely dependent on the fluctuations of
popular favor as that of the photographer.
body who is acquainted with the history
of photographers in New York for the
past ten or fifteen years, Will show that
their business is evidently not subject to
the same conditions as is attendant on the
business of other trades and professions.
Photographers do not. start in a small
way, build up gradually a. paying busi-
ness and eventually secure an established
patronage, which then continues with
them without any special effort in the
way of advertising.
The popular photographer jumps into his
popularity as a general thing inside of a
single year, and replaces in public esteem
older firms whose names are familiar to
everybody, both in private and public life.
The older men retire'to the background
and the artistic character of their pictures
is sneered at, and comparatively new men
are hailed as the apostles of modern pho-
tography and their work described as the
latest and the best. The older men are
away and they retire to side streets and
modest shops. Np photographer of fifteen
years ago is known as a leading photog-
rapher today. The men who then secured
the great men of the country, the} leading
actresses on the stage and the beauties of
the drawing room for their subjects, are
either out of business altogether or are
doing a small trade with modest family
people and charging extremely moderate
prices. .
FICKLEXESS OF PUBLIC FAVOR.
A photographer the other day said that
he did not believe it was possible for any
man or any firm in the business to get to
the top and stay there. He had gotten to
the top himself once, and he had made it
a. point to keep up with the times, to use
all the modem improvements in photo-
graphic materials and processes, and had
employed all, his spare time devising new
and attractive styles of photographs. But
notwithstanding all his efforts, both in a.
business and artistic way, he’ivas not able
to keep the leading position he had at-
tained, and! for no other reason in the
world except that, public favor, so far as
his business, isconcemed, is fickle beyond
anything that he could describe. He was
gradually replaced by new arrivals in the
field and saw his customers going to men
whom he believed had none of his ability,
and whom he knew had but a. quarter of
his experience. He explained this defec-
tion by saying that people who are in the
habit of having their photographs taken
at stated intervals, have the quality of
human vanity in them developed to an
unusual extent and are possessed of a.
continual desire to try new experiments
and reach fresh results. They do not ex-
pect, perhaps, that the latest photographer
will make them out any more beautiful
than the one whom they have just left
but they expect that he will give them
pictures which will give a new significance
to their features.
Speaking of keeping up with the times,
a photographer said the other day that
there was nothing in modern photography
which demonstrated its progress more
absolutely than the improvements directed
to reducing the time necessary for the
securing of the impression. Instantaneous
photography is the growth of very recent
times. Dozens of photographers in New
York expose their plates and secure re-
sults within a second, but this is by no
means instantaneous photography. How
great the progress in this matter has
really been may be estimated from the
fact that when daguerreotypcs were first
taken in this country, forty odd years ago,
it was necessary that the plate should be
exposed for fully twenty—five minutes be-
fore thc impression was deemed sufficient
for'the picture. Of course, in this twenty-
flve minutes the subject had to sit per-
fectly still. This was certainly as hard
work as any artist’s model does today. In
fact, no artist’s model is expected to pose
for that time without rest. Six seconds
is now regarded as a very long exposure.

An Anthropometric Laboratory.
Au anthropometric laboratory is a place
where a person may have any of his vari-
ous faculties measuredin the best possible
way, and where duplicates of his meas-
urements may be preserved as private
documents for his own future use and
reference. All the various faculties are
to be registered. Accordingly, after the
exact shape, the cubical content-s and the
specific gravity of the individual have
been ascertained he will be tested for pace
on a measured mile on land and a meas-
ured 100 yards in the water. The physi-
cal basis being thus ascertained, the
capacity fcx self restraint will next be
tried. Then will come the memory tests'
and the trials of originality and intellect-
ual endurance. It would be impos-
sible, except at great length, to ex-
plain the various processes avail-
able“ for these latter purposes, but
a brief reference may be made to the
uses of the register when completed.
Evidently the register kept at the labora-
tory may be made use of as a reference in
all cases. To persons about, to marry the
record will, of course, be valuable and in-
dispensable. Very great benefits will
accrue to all classes of people. It will
abolish the old test of a man’s faculties by
the work he does and what comes out of‘
him.—Pittsburg Bullet-in.
Replating Stamped Tinware.
In the process of forming stamped tin-
ware flat sheets of metal are placed in
powerful presses and forced by means of
dies into shape. This shaping process
and enormous pressure on the metal com-
pletely disintegrates the tin coating,
breaking the fibers and rendering the sur-
face of the wares fractured, rough and un-
finished. This defect is remedied by re-
plat-ing, which reincorporates and reunites
the surface, correcting all fractuosity and
making the ware bright and new. The
ware to be replatcd is dipped into a cald-
-ron of boiling fallow, so hot that the origi-
nal tin plating is softened up and melted
from the surface of the sheet iron. Then
the article so treated is dipped into a pot
of fused tin, where it takes on a new coat-
ing of that metal. It; is then dropped to.
second time into the grease pot, which has
the effect of evenly distributing the coat-
ing of tin, taking off the superfluous
metal. It is then put into 11. box of bran,
where it is cleansed of the thickest of the
grease, and finished by being rolled in
flour and middliiigs, which completely
cleanses the ware, leaving it smooth and
bright. —American Artisan.
