SHEFFMELD^FLATE. History of This Now Very Rare and Valuable Ware. Sheffield pinto differs from all other plated ware in that the plating was done on the sheet metal bet,.re the Icicle was shaped. Before and si nee V-n plating of various sorts lias been Spiled only to the finished piece, as In our electroplating process. Moreover, the plating was done on copper, while modern base metal is usually coin posed of an amalgam of copper, nickel und zinc. Furthermore, it Is possible fo he collector to secure examples <>r < ,-\y Georgian and so called Queen An:., work in Sheffield plate, while the rarity and high mone; value of silver ware of that period I ? its acquisi tion extremely dlfflcu .. ''eld pinto historically and nrtisth . s worthy of a plnco beside old eh, l old mahogany as is old silverware. In 1712 one Thomas Bolso' <.f Sheffield. England, d.-seribed .1 the histories as an "iugcnlous mechanic." I accidentally fused S' c silver and cop ier while repairing a knife. He began experimenting, seeking for a method of plating copper with silver for the man ufacture of small articles. In IT IT*., to gether with Joseph Wilson, he set up a factory for the manufacture of buc kles, snuffboxes and knife handles. Joseph Hancock soon got hold of the secret aud, perfecting it, demonstrated that It was possible to Imitate the finest and most richly embossed silver ware. Settling in ShelUeld, be started the manufacture of all sorts of domes tic pieces. Beginning modestly with horsepower, he later added water pow er for the rolling process. Other man ufacturers followed his example, and Sheffield pi..to soon began to replace pewter on the tables of the English middle classes. Altogether we know of twenty-three important mantlfactur ers of this ware. The industry nourished until the middle of the nineteenth century, aud so few pieces of copper rolled plalo were made after that time thai they need not concern I he collector, Elc 'tro plating was discovered or Invented by a medical student of Rotherhnm. near Sheffield, and the new process was patented on March LT?. 1810.

BISMARCK'S ANGER. The Incident That Made Certain the Franco-German War. The Princess Bismarck, so the story goes, changed the political history Ol France unwittingly, ami but for her the Franco-Prussian war might never 1 have been waged. Bismarck was unfriendly to Frame, but the Empress eugenic hoped with her beauty to lullucnco him so that tin Iii lie trouble with France and Ger many might be smoothed over. She therefore Invited the Gcrmau prince and his wife to visit the court Ol FrnilCO, and (ho Prince and Prluces> Bismarck arrived in great state at the Tu ilories. That evening there was a grand 10 ccptlon, and Eugenie received the guests In a gown which made her so ravlslllngly lovely that even Prime Bismarck, Gorman, stolid and in love with his wife, stood and ga/.ed upon her with admiration. And Eugenie was not slow to observe the effect ol her beauty upon him. She called him to her side, and Bismarck came, with his wife upon bis arm. Now. the Princess Bismarck was tall and gaunt, aud her feet were getter mis. Ah she walked she showed a great deal of sole. While Bismarck stood talking with Eugenie an audible Utter was heard along the line of ladies. Bismarck, who was quick as a tlash. followed the glance of Iholl' eyes mid saw them rest upon the feet of bis wile. That settled the matter. The politi cal history of Prance was altered from that moment. A year later, when Paris was be sieged, Bismarck himself lircd a can Don over ibe ntmpill'ts. and those who were near him heard him sho.it; "Take that for the feet of I ho Prin cess Bismarck 1" Thu slight IVOS avenged.
