I)iring the afternoon the throe girls put their head together and the western train that evening bore to ltuffalo the result of their conference and work in the form of the following letter: Mr. X, V, : H'wjjcslky.

IxnoKUA Axon ata Smith. Address Miss I. a. Smith, Welletley, Mas. Whatever X. V. may have thought of this strange note, his letter in answer to It (reaching Vclleley the end of the week) contained only praise for his fair correspondent's style and an ardent wish that the correspondence might be continued. The name he gave was Richard Gray ton. The three girls were delighted with the charming frtvle of j the letter, which evidenced a high cul tivation on the part of the writer. He was manifestly a gentleman, for none but a gentleman could have written such graceful sentences. lie was probably some youn;; lawyer or an artist with an innocent love of romance and fun. If an artist, perhaps he was at this very moment trying to picture to himself the face of the unknown Miss Smith; perhaps he gave substance to his thought in the form of a delicatelytraced head on snowy can rat, and gazed as rapturously at it as did Michael Angelo at his half-completed Madonna. These fancies and thought aroused all the latent romance in the three girls, and quickly a reply was sent to Mr. Richard Grayton, asking for his photograph. In due time came Mr. Grayton' second letter, more affectionate than before, and inclosing the photograph of a handsome young man with a dreamy, ar-away look in his eyes. At the cloe of the letter, Mr. Grayton said: "I have sent you my photograph as you asked and shall, of course, expect yours in return. I shall eagerly await Ito coming; for I know your face must be as beautiful as your letters are witty. "There, girls, whit are you going to do about that? exclaimed Louise, as she gave the letter to her two companions to read and gased earnestly at the portrait of Richard Grayton. "We cannot honorably keep this pictureand he in a handsome fellow without sending him one, and whose shall It her If we were to send him one of our own phetograpbs, this little affair would be sure to be found out by some one who knows us. I, for one, don't wish to send him mine." "Nor I mine, said Edith. "But, on the other hand, we don't want to stop this correspondence. "I hare it," exclaimed Christina. "Wo will send him a composite photograph of our elans, the separata graces and beauties of seventy-nine girls blended into one. "The very thing, replied Edith and Louise together, "for the girl in the composite picture is pretty and has a romantic appearance which I am sura Mr. Grayton will greatly admire. By all means let us send htm the composite photograph. So the composite photograph was sent, and In his very next letter .Mr. Grayton went into raptures over it- "It is the face of my dreams, he wrote, "and the face of my waking moments. It is the face that I have long pictured to myself as the ideal and now 1 find it a reality. How much I thank you for sending it and how I thank Fate forgiving me so fair a correspondent This letter excited much merriment on the part of the girls. "Poor fellow!" Christina would say, "what a misfortune is his to love a dream. I believe I am beginning to feel sorry for him for be is such a handsome matt. As the weeks sped by, the letters from Mr. Grayton became more and more ardent, and, if truth must be told, the interest of the three girls in him became greater and greater. They all admired his face, for there was a dreamy, romantic something about it which attracted them. They even regretted sending him the composite photograph and allowing him to fall in love with a shadow, an it were. Thus time went on until one day in the early part of June a bombshell was cat into the camp of the girls Mr. Richard Grayton wrote them that he could no longer live without seeing his adored Mb Smith and announced his intention of coming to Welleslcy th following Friday. This was indeed startling news. What was to be done? If Mr. Grayton were to call and ask for Miss Smith, he would be ushered into the presence of the profeseorof English, who was the only Miss Smith in college. Surprise and explanations would naturally ensue, then an investigation and woe to the three conspirators if they should be found out! They all secretly wished to see this Richard Grayton, for his picture showed him to be handstme, his letters proved him cultivated, and his determination to come to Wellesley bespoke his earnestness. It might be possible to bribe the maid so that when Mr. Grayton should call, one of the trhree should represent Mies Smith. But then, which should it be? They all wished to see him but it was ob-ious that only one could. Each one, in the mere wishing to meet Mr. Grayton, was conscious ef transcending the laws ( etiquette and proprietyyet what girl hae set at. some period of her life broken ee of Mrs. Grundy's iron -clad rules? "Well," said GtKkriiM at last,

only possible plan that I caa think of is this: You know my brotbor Hert comas out from Cambridgo Friday maroltg to see mo. Sow. as Mr. Grayton would not be apt to rail be fur the afteraoost, the boat way U for me to tell Bert tho whole story how we wrotu Mr. Cray Ion) for a lark without the ah; a tent hloa that ho would over come bete, and also abow him Mr. Grayton picture that ho may be able to recognix him. Them Ben eaa go down to too station, And Mr. Grayton. and if he discovers him to be what his picture and letters have led m to believe him, a geatleman. ho eaa explain the whole matter to him and bring him up to call on us as a eollego friend. If be finds that be it not a gentleman. Is old. hideous, etc., then, by the use of a Utile diplomacy ho can prevent bis coming up to the college. Kew, what do you think of the planT Edith and Louino assented to the proposition, and too two intervening days (it was then Tuesday) were pasted by tho girls la restloa anticipation. A note was dispatched by Christina to her brother Bert bidding him to be sure to come over to Wellesley Friday morning, as she bad somethlnsr very important to tell him. Edith and Louise pictured to themselves the surprise which Mr. Grayton would manifest wben told that It was three girls, not one, to whom be had been writing, and that the picture he had so rapturously adored war aeomposito photograph. At last the eventful Friday cams anl at ten o'clock Bert Lock wood appeared After Bert had chatted for a few minutes with all three girls, bis sister took him Into the adjoining room to unfold the story to him. Breathlessly did Edith and Louise await the result. They could distinguish Christina's voice telling; the story, then came sounds as of hurried exclamations on Bert's part, then a loud burst of laughter from Bert and soon Christina came back to the room with a most crestfallen expression on her face. "Will be do it? Is it all right?" eagerly questioned both girls in a breath. "What did be say? "Oh, girlsr groaned Christina, "that a Wellesley girl should live to see this day? "Why, what do you mean." exclaimed Edith. "I mean," responded Christtana disgustedly, "that it is one of Bert's provoking jokes. He and his chum of last year, Harry Pelton. inserted the advertisement in the newspaper, and repliet were to be sent to Buffalo, where Mr. l'elton now is. Mr. Pelton took the nom de plume of Richard Grayton, and when he wrote, Bert that be bad received

"an answer from W ellesler, Bert a sus picion were aroused, and be found out by careful Inquiries who tbe girls were who took the mail addressed to 'Miss L A. Smith.' The rest of the correspondence and announcement of Mr. Grayton's coming to see us was undertaken to cure me of my lore for romance. While Mr. Grayton is a perfect gentleman, he is, Bert smjA, one of the homeliest men in his class. "But the pnotographf gasped Louise. 'These handsome features, those dreamy eyes which we admired so" "And tbat far-away expression," interrupted Edith, ia which we thought there was a tinge of nadnoss. "Don't you remember bow wo pitied him lor being compelled to worship only a composite photograph, the shadow of a dream?' "Don't pity him any more," returned Christina grimly, "for that photograph ever which wo all went into raptures, that Apollo-like profile alas tbat a Wellesley girl should "be thus humiliated was also a composite of Mr. Grayton class at Harvard! Walter C Nichols, in Detroit Free Press. HIDING FROM FATHER. Haw Xatnrol Ageetlen la Snwolborod m Many Child reM. There is something peculiarly sorrowful to me la tho way in which the children of some households slip quietly out of sight wben they bear father's footsteps outide tbe door. There must be no noise or disorder, no laugh inff and shouting when father comes home. Tbe children must "settle down" then, for father "can't bear noise" and disorder "worries' him. Oh, It does, does it? It makes him nervous to boar tho baby cry or tbe children laugh, does it? He likes to have tbe house perfectly still, does be? A"sll, then, what under tbe Sun did he ever marry for? Why didn't he remain in tbat state of single blessedness peculiarly appropriate to men whom children 'w orry?' There are so many nice, quiet, delightful .boardinghouses in which the laugh of a child is never heard because children are 'not allowed" there. Men whom children worry ought to forever remain within the walls of these delightful abodes. It would be better for them and infinitely better for tbe children tbat come to them wnoa they marry and eta tab! ten homos of their own. I know a great, tall, robust husband and father whoso children have to "quiet down tho moment he comes home because their noise makes him "nervous " Peer man! I could feel a little sorry for htm, perhaps, If I haA not een him in tbe Board of Trade building enduring its bedlamite racket with perfect self-eomposursv lie Is a stock broker and tbe noisiest, loudest-mouthed one on tbe street, but the moment be gets within the doors of his own home he becomes so nervous tbat the laughter and childish prattle ef his own children is more than bo can bear. Sad, Isn't It? It is sad for the children. It cheats them out of so much ef tbe Joy ef child hood that other children know the romps with father, the rummaging of his pockets to see if he has brought them any thing, the climbing into his lap to hug and kiss him, tho going "to Boston town' on bis foot, the "tret, trot to Banbury Cross," and the feeling tear and sweet to childhood that father loves them and that they can corns M him with all their little cares and sorrows. It is sorrowful to see natural, childish alection smothered and routed and at last killed by a father whose footstep is a signal for his child res ts hide from the faee tbat ought to be the dearest one in tbe world to toem.

What is known as tin -pi ale la compose 1 of sheets of steel with a title eoaeing of tin, tbe latter being only about live per cent of she weight of the finished product. The first step in the manufacture is to prepare tbe steel sheets. These are made from open-hosvrlh steel for tbe best quality of tin-plates, or from lowcarbon Bessemer steel for tbe e beeper qualities. A bar of steel fifteen Inches long, seven inches wide, Irom one-halt to(l five-eighths of an inch thicsr, and weighing nineteen pounds, Is rolled Into sixteen sheets measuring 14x40 inches. This bar is first heated red hot and Uses put through the chilled rolls, after which it is reheated and rolled te a thinness which will permit it to be easily doubled. After it is doubled it is heated again, rolled three times ia succession, and doubled at the same time till the mass is eight sheets in thickness. This mass is then sheared throuarh the middle, and girls with hatchets separate tbe sbeett from each other. The sheets are now ready for the pickling house. Here they are put into a cradle, or cage, which is lifted by hydraulic power and lowered into a tank containing dilute aalphurie acid, the whole mass being made to revolve in tbe aeid for some time. Tbe oafre is then dipped into fresh water and again revolTod ia order to remove all the acid. When taken out the sheets are found to be bright and clean, and are now ready for tbe annealing process. They are shut up In iron annealing pots at a bright-red heat for twelve to sixteen hours. After being; taken out they are passed three or four times between cold rolls, which are highly polished, and most be set with tbe utmost accuracy. The sheets are now annealed again at a lower temperature, and are once more pickled in a weaker acid After a final Washing tbey are gone over carefully, one at a time, and such sheets as need it are scoured with sand, the worker using a pad of hemp. But all this is only half of the process; we have as yet only steel sheets. These are now taken to tbe tin bouse and are placed la a trough of dear water to await tbe tinman. lie takes up tbe sheets separately and puts them in a pot containing palm oil, la which they are soaked for a short time. The sheets ate now placed in a large iron pot containing molten tin, on which a covering of palm oil floats. Tbe tinman removes tbe sheets from this first pot and passes them over to tbe "washman, who immerses them ia a second pot of molten tin. After tbey have soaked awhile he raises them singly wrth tongs, as be requires teem, brushes off both surfaces and gives each sheet a final dip in another pet of molten tin. The sheets are then run through rolls which work in a large pot of palm oil. A boy passes tbe sheets one at a time to a girl who rubs tbesn a moment In bran to remove the grease. Anoiber girl finishes this part of tbe work, and tbe sheets then go to the assorting room. Here the good plates are selected and assorted according, to quality, and defective plates rejected. They are tben counted by young women and made up into bundles and plies for packintr into boxes. The boxers now take chanre of these piles and pack them into elm boxes holding 10 pounds. Tbe final process is to brand tbe boxes, and they are then ready (or shipment. The tinning process here described is tbat known ns tbe "palm-oil process," by which tbe best tin-plates are made. Another process is known as the "noidfiux process" in which tbe pots of molten tin are covered with a mixture ef line, hydrochlorato and water, in place of the palm-oil. This process does not produce such good tin-plates as the "palm-oil process." An American manufacturer who has seen the whole process in Wales, where prsct callyall the tin-plates used in the world are made, describes the work as being extremely unhealthy in some parts of the process. "In the pickling rooms, he says, "the employes all lose their teeth and are otherwise so scarified as scarcely to appear human. The ether part of tbe work is not specially anneal thy. but, owing to the rank odor ef the oil used. Is Tory unp.easant and filthy." Ibe Welsh people have long been engaged In tbe manufneture of tin-plate, and so expert have they become that onlTSS.000orS0.0Oo persons. at least half of whom are boys and girls, are required to produce the world's supply. As another evidence et their skill It may be stated that the price of these plates has been greatly lowered within the past ton or fifteen years. In 1ST4 tin-plates sold in England a high as 6 cents a pound; but according to tbe Treasury reports our tin-plates as entered at the tbe enstom houses In IS were rallied, exclneive of duty, at U cents a pound. The imports for IMOeime In at about cents. Under the MelOnley duty of li cents a pound our importers will be compelled to pay i eon ts a pound In order to see just what this McKinley duty means His necessary to deal with our total tin-plate importation Durtaer the fiscal year ended June 30, 1M, we imported Tf. 998,095 pounds at a cost, exclusive ef duty, of SM,Mt,tMi The duty on this, under tbe old rate ef one cent per pound, was .TtW,0W. Under the McKinley duty of 3.S cents the duty on tbe same amount will be 14,tM,0M. What is to be the gain to the country for this increased taxation? Kven If we should ever teceesd in making all tbe tln-pl a ten that we need, tbe number of additional laborers who will thus find employ meat will net be large eawegh to juetdfy this greet addition to the people's teas. Tbe greatest qua thy eX fcm-ftat we fsare ever

ammed in wee year a31 Vii OAS p uads in 18 The number of laborer tended to make) take quantity, ea &e basis which prevails ia Wales, wou-d be as follows: t.W4 men. s.4fti boys, MM girls; total. MS If we average this labor nt 90m a year, which is certainly a high figure considering the barge number of boys and girls in tbe totaL, tbe yearly wages paid in the entire tin plate industry would he $& eto.Cnm We are thus asked by our high tariff makers to tax ourselves 114. MS. OM a year in or der that HMO labocers may receive .6t,0eu! Could human folly go further? Hut we have at present no laborers who are trained fan executing tbe mors difficult proassses in tin-plate making. In answer te this tbe protee tion is U assure us tbat tbe Welsh laborer are ready to flock this country to work in the MMCinley tin-plate milla This is but a further step in human folly. We are at pay almost double price for our tia-plktes la order to get Welshman to come here and make them for ns! As a simp e business question would it not be far more sensible to let these same men make them for us la Wales at three cents a pound rather than come to America and make them for us here st five cento a pound? SHERMAN'S SOPHISTRY.

and After Mm WnSorleo nt Mm fatas Oan Ordsr Tdntsa Manejr. At tbe time when the MeKlaley tariff bill passed the Senate, Senator Sherman made a very remarkable speech warning the manufacturers not to take ad vantage of tbe new conditions that the bill created. Here is tbe press report of this part of his speech: Mr Sherman chioed bis peera with fosse words of wm ac sad ndrioe to the boae-aV-l rif s of the nw tariff. M- was earn ottoogu hn his manner to Indies tbat ho Is not st all ecnudont to the outoowtonf th lw Thegr atiklpgtntc stood in the way of Sue success of the UiH, a -sld. was whe'har or not the m nutsetnrer of this fountry would permit t as competition m i be American mtrket; The danger win tbat tb hnenclsr en of the bill would combine andchWnt the p opleout t the bene tu of th law. Tney Wrre nowg'.ven rea-onnblo anil niiplc p oiertlcm, and if tli.-v w uld rew st th temptation attaching t greit aggregation of capital to lom'ilno anl ndt vance price, tbey might hope for a season of great prosperity, I Km Mr. fherman warned them that If tbey wont Into pools and eomblnntiona nnd made corners tney would m i tfend the popie tbat the protective tar ff would dlaappear with great rapidity. He dl i h-p. th Saufttor onelnded, that tbe manufneturors wouli open tbe doors to fair eon petition and g.ve its benoflt to J h- people, it tbey donor, said Mr. Sliermoa. I shall It- as ready to vote for the repeat of tttl law I ant ao w i osdy to vote for It. Since elections Senator Sherman has been talking freely about the Republican Waterloo and tbe causes which produced it. In a recent interview be said: I hava no doubt that the new tariff net KOlni; la to egct Just before tbe election was ba l for the nenebtlran pvty. The tradesmen took advantgs of th? clreumstnnoe te raise the prices of iki-lr mo ds awsy be end any neeeeitty nnd beyond all reason.

Here the Senator was talking common sense, lie knows tbe Simple law of trade tnat a man who has something to sell is not goln? to port with it w. thou t taking advantage of every possible circumstance favorable to higher prices. What In the light of tbe words just quoted, shall be thought of the Senator's warning to tbe manufacturers yt to shake down the McKinley plu.es Into their laps? And what shall be thought of a Senator who, knowing tbe lews of trade, votes to give tbe manufacturers advantages which they are kindly to refrain from seizing? ft is but another case of "bang your clothes nab c kory limb, but don't go near tbe water." A CASE IN POINT. Maw Amcrtean Te'eaafoeturees Are Able te ''flack ned Orew I at." The Kew York Engineering News says the Jerusalem -Jaffa railway has just been equ pped with three locomotives made at the Baldwin works is Philadelphia, which arrived at Jaffa September 3X "Thus the first locomotives used in this ancient land are mads in the Now World." How does it happen that Philadelphia, which lies .ooa miles further away from Palestine than England Is, can place locomotives upon this Jerusalem-Jaffa railway in competition with English builders? The American IBeoe omlst. the organ ef the American Pre I tec tire Tariff League, has recently ) printed a statement which is a suffiJcient answer to that question.

For tbe last two lessons we have been dealing with tbe story of the rcsucrco tion of our blessed Lord. In this lessen we continue that, and read how He opened tbe understanding of the disciples, so tbat they might understand tbe Scriptures in all their meaning. He explained to them tbe real meaning ef His death, and then told them that asvl ration was to be preached in His name, beajinrning from the city of Jerusalem and emtending to all nations. Of the truths Of His life, death and resurrection tbey wore to be tbe living witnesses, but first they wore to wait In tbe city of Jerttoe1cm till they were baptised with tho Ho'y Spirit, who was to give them power to witness for Him. After tbat lie led i hem out on tbe Mount of Olives an far as Bethany, nnd there gave them Hie parting blessing, and while fie was doing this they saw Him rise front their midst, and a cloud received Him out ef their sight As tbey were gating won dcringly toward Heaven, two men la white apparel stood by tbetw, who total tbcm tbat this same Jesus whom Hsery had just seen disappear shoo hi in like manner return some day. This fllied all their hearts with joy, so that ,thsyy returned to the city, and daily were In the temple praising and blessing; God. The disciples knew tbe Scriptures probably better than many ef us know our Bibles. Yet they had made some very sad murtafce in their Interpretation of them. They needed Divine help in order that they might understand them aright. This the Master gave to tbcm. The disciples saw Htm ascend, and , the men In white bore witness Is te where He had gone. Yes, we have assurance that Jesus in Ilia bodily form ia in Heaven to-day. We are not worshiping a Saviour who is we know not where. Has any one seen Him there? Yes: Stephen as he was about to die saw Him; for he said: "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the rbrbt hand of God." Has any one else seen Him la glory? Yes; wben Pnul fell to tbe ground on bis way to Damascus he saw J reus in glory and heard Him speaking to him. Jesus told him who lie was; for witen Paul said: "Who art thou, lord?" Jesus answered: "I am Jesus, whom tbou persccuteat." Jofan. tho beloved disciple, saw Him. For on tie Island uf latmoft, when he was in the Spirit, tbe Iord's day. he heard a voice behind him, and, turning to see who It was who spoke, he saw "one like unto the Son of Man," and the voice proclaimed: "I an He that liveth. and was dead, and behold I am alive for evermore. Amen, nnd hive the keys of hell and of death. Hy these witnesses we are doubly assured tbat our Saviour is in Heaven at tbe right hand of His Heavenly Father. PRACTICAL COICTKIXS. 4 1.
