prisonei s were well dressed and fine appearing men the younger being of unusually imposing appearance They were turned over to the warden who sum moned the turnkey and instructed him to take them inside The turnkey thought they were visitors and after taking them through the grated gates turned them over to a subordinate to show them around They were taken on a short tour of the prison the workings of the various departments and features being explained to them and the guard then unlooked the gate to let them out side again Why we are to Btay here exclaimed the younger The h 1 you are ejaculated the guard in surprise as he again locked the gate and started with the prisoners for the cell room Had they been of the class that takes desperate chances at every opportunity the

London there was a fnctory for antique cop pers which Is probably still In opera tion The legitimate business of tho plnco wns tho manufacture of stew pans nnd kettles but when trade was dull In thnt wny any sort of antiques for which there hnppenod to be a de mand wns produced instead An old Incense burner for oxnmplo would be reproduced by tho dozen by hammering over n chuck If orna mented with pierced work tho copies would be coated with asphnltum through which the design would bo traced when It would then bo eaten out In an acid bath saving tho tlmo which would bo required to cut out tho pattern with n piercing saw Tho bath leaves thin edges by which such work may be detected The work would then bo nnncnletl and would bo permitted to oxldlzo and scale Pickling with muriatic ncld and snlt to produce a good coating of ver digris would complete the job Some times these antiques would be pur posely broken aud would bo clumsily mended with solder or with pure tin If tho piece wns to pass for n very on- clcnt one Chiseled metal wns repro duced by casting nud dubbing over with the hammer then pickling nn nenllng nnd bending In such ways helmets copper nnd brass castings for antique furniture and tho like wero made Art Amateur Home Rnclnu nn the Stnge In racing scenes tho horses do run nt full speed They run however not on the fixed stage but on what may bo called treadmills which keep the horses In front of the house for longer or shorter periods according ns they nro moved quickly or slowly A picket fence placed between the audience nnd tho course not only makes tho sceno more realistic It also hides the mechan ism of the trendmllls This fence has contributed In another wny to ndd to the effect by being moved In opposition to the direction of the horses nnd so lending to their apparent speed As to the sounds mado by tho foot falls of horses to bo heard as though passing outside nn Interior sceno they are reproduced by the dried hoofs of dead horses or wooden imitations mounted on handles and hammered ngalnst surfaces of stone gravel sod or whatever the occasion may demand They nre also more elaborately manu factured by revolving a cylinder with pins protruding from the surface These pins are arranged like the spurs on a hand organ roller to imitate trot ting galloping or walking when struck ngalnst other substances If tho sound of n carriage Is to be added to tho trampling of horses wheels are run on sand Cassells Magazine Dennty and Education Why Is it that woman has always been more beautiful than man In human beings tho attractive qualities have always been on tho side of the female Why Is It Without wishing to cast any aspersion on the members of the superior sex we may fairly an swer that It Is because they have hith erto
