Trying to Beat Nature. Artificial Flowers Made in the Twinkle of an Bye—How the Oirls are Paid. 'No, sir, that is only imitation,' said a New York Mail and Express reporter who had raised a Jacquemi not rose to his nose. 'Several persons have thought it was real, 9 he contin ued; 'well; it is one of the best speci mens I have ever seen.' 'lt must be a delicate business man factnring these flowers V 'Very, and a business that has im proved considerably during the last few years. Nearly all the flowers used here are manufactured in this country.' 'Can you explain how you trans form ordinary muslin into such deli cate looking flowers ?' 'Certainly. Step into the factory. I will show you every part of the per formance. Step this way;' and the reporter was shown into a long room which presented a busy] appearance Seated at a long table that extended down the centre of the room, were fif teen or twenty girls all busy clipping and cutting muslin, and fastening it with wires in various ways,presenting as it were by sleight of hand, some lovely rose or delicate lily. It used to be the custom to manu facture the floral designs from a ma terial called chiffon, but that is too ex pensive an article to compete in the present market, so ordinary Victoria lawn is substituted. This is first of all soaked in water to shrink it and then stretched on a frame to dry. When dry it is folded so *as to make about s ixteen thicknesses and it is ready to cut for any flower we want. 'Now suppose we make the most popular decoration of the presect day, the snowball,' said the manufacturer, and he took a scollop, circle-shaped steel die and cut out of the musMn sixteen pieces at each blow of the mal let. The pieces were placed in alco hol and tinged in the centre to give them the natural tint of the flower. After drying them,each of the scallops is twisted and about twelve pieces strung together by pasting a wire through the centre. A little paste is added and in less time than it takes to relate, the snow ball is ready to adorn some lady's bonnet. 'What are the most difficult flowers to manufacture f' 'Well, the rose, I suppose, or the mignonette. All those that have fine petals cause more or less trouble. The manufacture of leaves is a little differ ent They are cut in a similar way out of green muslin and then put in a press to stamp on the veins. The color is put on with a stencil and dyes, and each leaf is dipped into wax f and dried. Every leaf and petal is handled separately, so that will give you an idea of the work accomplished. Fashions are constantly changing and prices vary from twenty cents to $2.50 a flower.' 'Are not the dyes used very injuri ous ?' 'Not at all. Paris green was used in the old times,but now it is dispens ed witn and ordinary aniline dyes sub stituted. Wages ? Some people have an idea that girls barely earn a living. We pay three cents a gross for stamp ing leaves. That appears very little when you know every leaf is stamped separately, but an accomplished hand will stamp fifteen or twenty gross in an hour,and working nine hours a day will give about $4. No bad pay,eh V Sauer-Eraut This is the way iu which sauerkraut is made in Strasburg, Germany. They slice very white and firm cabbages in fine sbreads with a machine made for that purpose. At the bottom of a small barrel they place a layer of coarse salt, and alternately layers of cabbage and salt, being carefal to have one of salt on the top. As each layer of cabbage is added, it must be pressed down by a large and heavy pestle, and fresh lay ers are added as soon as the juice floats on the surface. The cabbage must be seasoned with a few grains of coriander, Juniper berries, etc. When the barrel is full it must be put in a dry cellar, covered with cloth, under a plank, and on this heavy weights are placed. At the end of a few days it will begin to ferment, during which time the pickle must be drawn off and replaced by fresh i until the liquor becomes clear. This should be done every d ay. Eenew the cloth and wash the cover, put the weight back and let stand for a month. By that time the sauerkraut will be ready for use. Care must be taken to let the least air possi* ble enter the sauerkraut, and to have the cover perfectly clean. Each time the barrel has to be opened it must be properly closed again. These precau tions most not be neglected. —Mr. John Kerstetter, Jr., still makes a business of doing special jobs at carpentry, John is really an expert at the business and has large experince, both in making out plans,specifications and drawings, as well as a practical workman.

Col, Tom Clark, of Brooklyn, once owned a cat on which he showered all the affection of his bachelor heart. And the shower took the place of a pound of mince meat every day. One morning the Colonel noticed that his feline name sake had wasted away to a were skele ton, and immediately he summoned his boy Bill to appeal before tho bar. 'Didn't I tell you to give that cat a pound of meat every day ?' asked tho Colonel. 'Yes, sir, and that's what I give him every morning before you'ie out of bed,' answered Bill. '1 don't believe a word of it. My opinion is that you either pocket the money or eat the meat yourself. Bring me the scales and the cat.' The scales and cat were brought; the latter was placed on the former and Tom and the maker stopped at the one-pound mark. 'There,' ex claimed the boy in triumph. 'Didn't 1 tell you 1 gave him a pound of meat this morning ?' 'There's the pound of meat sure enough,' said the Colonel, stroking his chin. 'But where the dev il's the cat V' AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER To All Wating Employment.

The proprietor of this celebrated medi cine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER MANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long stand > ing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern conntry to bear him testimony ts the truth of the assertion that in no mm whatever will it fail to cars if the direc tions are strictly followed and oarried out. In a great many oases a single dose has been sufficient for a core, and whole fami lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every ease more certain to cure, if its use is oontinued in smaller doses for a week or two afteT the disease has been checked, mare especially 1 in difficult and long-standing cases. Usu ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Bhould 1 the patient, however, recuini a cathartic 4 medicine, after having taken three or four 1 doses of the Touio, a single dose of BULLf VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suf ficient.
