A starch factory is erecting, and on alt hands are signs of thrift and proeperity. The mystery of the sowalled Japan magical mirrors, so far as the cause of their reflecting objecte that are on the back side of the mirror is ooncerned, appears to have yielded to a little painstakingenvedigation. They are thin metal hand mirrors, with raise ed figures on the bath of them, and are cast of an alloy of about eighty parts copper. and twenty of tin making a very hard yet elastio metal. In grinding the mirrors they are presumably laid on it fiat plate, and the grinding pressure and the thick parte, op- posite the raised figures, are ground more rapidly; the pressure removed, the plate eprings beck, and the raimer is concave on the face where the figures are. The light reflected from this nurror will show' the back, not from any =ghat power, bet be- cause of the concave outface producect over the figures -the result of aosident rather than of design.

Every one who thinks at all knows that all first impressions need to be aubmitted to many tests before they can be wholly trust- ed. Had we not learned this, we should still be as infants reaching for the moon. The impressions we first receive from the WW1 and women aroond us afford but a small fraction of the knowledge necessary to fern even an approximate estimate of their characters. Indeed they often come from our own mood at the time the impression is made and a more extended acquaintance may sweep them away entirely. However strong theoy may be, the plainest reason demands our waiting for more light and knowledge before forming any conclusion or pronouncing any criticism. Wolves Worked With Dogs. The following is taken from Ensign How- ard's report on Alaska: "Irk Arctic Alaska tne natives keep all young wolvea that they meth and train them at doge for teams. Dogs and wolves are reared- together. The dogs are more than half welt and have character- istics of those animals. Tney are without affection, but obey their master through fear.

We must supply him with lucent tives; and upon the nature of these will his future character largely depend. Instead of assuring children that if they are good they will be happy, and clinching the assur- ance by artificial rewards or bribes, 'we thould lead them gently to choose and to prefer the good, without iefererwe to self at all. They can be accustomed to plan for and to aim at giving pleasure, not get- ting it, and, although in doing so they will experience is rich enjoyment themselves, 11 will be incidental, never one for which they have striven.

Their conversa- tion was coarse, and sometimes it bordered on the vulgar and profane. Suddenly from the open window of the ticket offioe came the low, musical tones of a woman's voice singing an old familiar hymn. La a moment, as if by magic, the convereation was hushed, and the men list ened, looking silently a molt other until the ' verse was ended. For the moment the rough/nen were com- pletely subdued.
