WORKERS IN WROUGHT
IRON HIGHLY SKILLED
The craft of wrought iron bears ati
honorable lineage. It is generally re
garded as an offshoot from the more
ancient craft of the armorer, who
was an indispensable figure in every
feudal community. The training of
these armorers'in manipulating met-
als into delicate forms and weldings,
and their Skill in chasing and inlay-
ing defensive armor, found opportu-
nity to display its talents in the
grilles, gates, locks and hinges of the,
feudal castle itself. The church as
well demanded skilled designs and
workmanship in this same direction.
The craft soon spread all over
civikxed Europe, each country stamp-
ing upon it the impress of its owr.
national character. In their turn, the
American craftsmen succeeded in
evolving a distinctive style, which is
simple and gracefnl in motif. It is
from these early designs that work
for modern residences is being made
by American workmen and by tne
more ambitious commercial workers
in iron.

Curio dealers of Havana are «c
quiring old Spanish art tiles to supply
the demand in the United States. As
each old house is torn down, the bid-
ding for its art tiling is active, al-
though there is nearly a 90 per cent
loss in breakage—the tiles having
been so long cemented to the walls
that they have become as brittle
porcelain.
The Spaniards and Cubans have
always been fond of tiling, and their
residences are often faced with geo-
metric designs in vivid colors, strong
ly reminiscent of the Moorish influ-
ence on Spanish art. The tiles may
represent hunting and marine scene*,
mountain vistas, battles, sieges and
religious subjects. One set depicts
important Bible pasaages and given
the texts front which they are taken.
These tiles were taken from Holland
by the Spaniards during their occu-
pation of <the Netherlands, and after
several centuries’ use in a house ir
Madrid crossed thj Atlantic to Ha-
vana.
American visitors to Havana pur-
chase besides the tiles, much Spanish
bronze, copper and beaten brassware
Cuba was at one time rich in such
curios, but the supply has been prac-
tically exhausted, so that the dealers
now spend their summers in Europe
to renew their stock. Spanish glass-
ware is another fad of the visitors
The older pieces offered for sale are
extremely beautiful. When Carlos III
ruled Spain he imported hundreds of
glass workers from the Capa di Monti
factory at Naples, and the delicate
products of these craftsmen is today
highly valued.—New York Times.

THE OLD PHOTO ALBUM
(J. H. Lowry)
How Ion;
g since you looked thru
the old photo albufh? Doubtless you
will find it hidden away among the
antiquities of the at^ic, unless it ju-
ried some baby or early girl-hood pic-
tures of your wife; in that event,
you’ll never see it again, for it was
long ago consigned to the flames. But
if you can dig it out from the debris,
you will find the old album a very
interesting volume. The old album
presents a wonderful study in posing.
Aunt Miranda, who was fat and
nearly forty, had all the expression
of a squash when she faced the cam-
era. And didn’t Uncle Bob, who had
been a soldier in the Civil War, look
fierce as he peeped out from a fili-
greed chair? I have an idea that, in
spite of the fierceness of his look, he
was as badly scared when he had his
“picture took” as when he faced shot
and shell on the field of battle. Per-
haps, if you have reached tne sere
and yellow leaf period, you will find
a picture of your first sweetheart
wearing pantalets, the ugliest gar-
ment ever devised by the fashion
makers, and you may find her in her
latest teens arrayed in hoop skirts
and needing all the room in the stu-
dio to show her finery. These pictures
as well as those taken when bangs
and braids were in style, will amuse
you,' but the biggest laugh will come
when you turn to the picture of your-
self taken with some radiant maiden
you then believed a veritable angel
on earth. These are the old tintypes,
which gave opportunity for the pic-
ture taker to display his knowledge
of art. If you had no watch chain he
very obligingly painted one, and usu-
ally had gold rings on three or more
of your fingers. I have just turned
through the old family album and
can assure you that H has more

CHURCH OF NORSK
MOTHER’S GONE AWAY
But doggone it, it’s awful lonesome
up here at Hill Road Place; the sink
is full of dirty dishes, the beds are
all tumbled up, and the floor is all
strewed with papers. Yes, Mother’s
gone away, and it just seems like
there ain’t no sunshine about the
place at all. Sitting here tonight aud
the cricket in the hearth is singing
for its mate, the cats are sitting
around looking lonesome like. We’ve
got the blinds fastened to keep the
boogers out, and loneliness is reflect-
ed in the newspaper items in the
paper, and just blast if we can hardly
stand it at all. The clock ticks louder
than usual, and every little noise
makes us fidgety and uneasy and
afraid. You know when a man lives
with one Woman nigh on to forty
years, he kinder gets used to having
her around; yes, he gets attached to
her, and it seems like there ain’t,no
other woman on earth, and there
ain’t to us. Of course, some people
swap about getting mighty fashion-
able these days to change every once
in a while, but cmr philosophy of life
is one woman. That’s what God’s
Good Book says, and it’s a lamp and a
guide for the sons and daughters of
men. Yes Mother is gone away to Dr.
Bunkley’s Sanitarium at Stamford
for a few days. That’s the place
where they work over, repair these
human frames scientifically; but
lordy, man sure is smart; they take
one down in a dark room, turn on the
picture show machine .and the rays
of light shoot down thru the human
body, light up the dark places and
show the defective spots in this, the
most wonderful piece of mechanism
in all creation. We wonder how an in
