"Madam Whims," repeated the now

and she appeared In very long, very
jlooso gloves, morn, noon and eve,

with big bow under her chin. And

hasn't shown the slightest Interest In

"And how docs he appear to regard
his wifo'a whims?"

GOLD LEAF.
Combined Rltlll and Judgment ltoqullt
In It Manufacture.
If a sheet of gold leaf is held up
against the light it appear to bo of a
vivid dark green color; this means that
the light Ss transmitted , tli rough the

leaf Is a piece of solid metal, a better

seven to twenty pounds, the lighter
hammers being first used. When the
true method of this beating Is under

that gold leaf beating should not be
relegated to machinery ceases; the art
belongs to the highest department of
human skill and judgment. Appren
tiecs have served a term, and have been
compelled to abandon the business, be'
cause they never could acquire the
requisite skill and judgment combined
necessary to become, successlul work'
men.
The only pure gold leaf Is that used
by dentists lor tilling carious teeth, and
it is called foil. It is left much thicker
than the gold loaf for gilding Indeed,
it could not be beaten so thin: for thin
or leaf told an allov of silver and en ri
per is required to i-upart " tho requisite
tenacity. Dentists foil weighs six
grains, five, four and three grains per
sheet, or leaf, according to its thick
ness. The last operation on the leaf Is
annealing. This is done over a char
coal fire, tho leaf being laid singly In
sort of corn popper a square recepta
cle with wire bottom at tho end ol
handle over which is held a similar
cover to prevent the flame from carry
ing tho leaf away. An Instant s ex

amounts to about seven pennyweights
to eight hundred dollars worth.of coin

This reduction and separation of tho
metals is tho usual method, and docs
not require special description.
The pure gold is then melted in sand
crucibles with the proper proportions of
silver and copper to produce the color
of leat desired, very line ornamental
effects being produced In gilding with
leaf of different shades. Tim thud met

bars seven inches long, one and an

an inch thick. These bars are forged,
like iron, between anvil and hammer,
to even the edges, and then rolled In
powerfully-geared rolls to a ribbon not
thicker than writing paper and ono inch
wide. Of course, in the rolling as in all
the processes, there must be occasional
