F. PARKINSON AND Co.

CARPATHIAN SILVER GOODS. Messrs. F. PARKINSON AND Co., manufacturers of Carpathian silver and other goods, have removed to larger and more convenient premises at 3 and 4, Fowkes buildings, Great Tower Street, EC. We should advise our readers to send there for an illustrated catalogue of their goods. Carpathian silver is very popular as a substitute for silver and electro-plate, as it is durable, and moderate in price. It is especially ads ted for salvers, etc, a waiter, such as we illustrate, costing from 4s. 3d. to 18s., according to size. This metal can be subjected to the most constant usage, as it retains its colour, being of white metal all through and requiring only an occasional polish to keep it in good condition.

JOHN BRAMHILL
29, Gloucester Street, St. John Street Road, London
I heard a remarkable story yesterday about a rat emptying an oil bottle, which will amuse you. Mr. Bramhall, the silversmith, of Gloucester Street, Clerkenwell, states that for a long time he constantly found the oil bottle attached to his lathe emptied of its contents. Various plans were devised to find out the thief, but without success. At last Mr. Bramhall determined to watch. Through a hole in the door he peeped for some time; at length he heard a gentle noise. Something was creeping up the framework of the lathe. It was a fine rat! Planting itself on the edge of the lathe, the ingenious creature dropped its tail inside the bottle, then drew it out and licked off the oil. This it continued to do until nearly every drop of oil was extracted.

WILLIAM ARCHBOLD
Chichester Place, Gray's Inn Road, London
A PRACTICAL HINT ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE
By William Archbald, Silver-plate Engraver, Chichester-place, Gray's-inn-road
That "The Sabbath was made for man" is an axiom, the truth of which has been frequently and forcibly illustrated. Its moral, social, and physical advantages have been ably demonstrated by many talented writers, during the recent agitation of the subject; and it is a matter for congratulation that so much of what was good was produced by members of the operative class; a gratifying proof being thereby afforded to the friends of progress, not merely of the existence of considerable intelligence amongst the working classes, but of intelligence devoted to a good and worthy end.
In the course of my reading on the subject, I cannot remember to have met with any remarks that bore upon the duty of the general public to promote the due observance of the Sabbath. And as much could be done in this direction, by the exercise of a little thought and foresight on the part of the upper classes, I avail myself, with your kind permission, of a small portion of your space, to point out one way in which the absence of that forethought causes a great encroachment upon the rights and comforts of working men, and a serious desecration of that day of rest—which I willingly believe the higher class, as a class, are anxious to see becomingly observed. The examples I am about to adduce are only specimens of many similar cases with which I have met, not in my own profession alone, but in many others. An aggregation of such cases would demonstrate the existence of a great social evil, and such does really exist. Now, however, for my examples.
By profession I am a silver-plate engraver. Plate is so entirely an article of luxury, that one would think no plea of necessity could be urged for hurrying orders. Frequently, however, has it happened that, to satisfy the demands of a customer, I have been compelled to labour the whole of the Sabbath-day, and yet, from work not being plentiful, have sat idle on Monday, and too often on the following days likewise. Twice within my recollection have I been engaged on the whole of the day of rest in ornamenting services of sacramental plate, which, I imagine, could not be required for use until the following Sabbath, at the earliest. And more than once have I been engaged in the same way, giving the finishing touch to plate about to be presented to rev. gentlemen, who, amongst other good services calling for such testimonials, may have rendered much assistance to the " Sabbath Observance*' cause. These instances I do not select from any invidious feeling, but because I justly regard them (the clergy) as the guardians of public morals, and exemplars of the doctrine it is their great duty and privilege to teach. In the cases I have cited, and in many others, had parties, in giving their orders, stated their wish that no Sunday labour should be called for, or had they given their orders in good time, this evil would not have to be complained of.
I have spoken of myself as compelled to labour, and all who know necessity as a hard task-master will not think the word wrongly applied. The workman, indeed, can hardly be said to have a choice. Our employers sole dependence is upon the shopkeeper, and our sole dependence is upon our employer. However considerate he may be of the consciences and comforts of his workmen, he, at times, is really under the necessity of meeting the demands of those who employ him. Archdeacon Paley used to say that he " could not afford to keep a conscience ;" a strange declaration this, for a Christian teacher! but with how much more plausibility may many of the working classes say the same! Having every desire for a consistent observance of their duties, and, above all, so agreeable a duty as the observance of the day of rest, their desires must nevertheless be frequently overruled by the paramount claims of a wife and family ;—to provide daily bread for the household being with them the first and most imperative necessity.
If this subject were agitated to the extent it deserves, and consistently supported, no inconsiderable boon would be conferred upon the industrial section of the community.

132, St. John Street, Smithfield, later, 231, later, 14, Tottenham Court Road, London
Messrs. J. Jefferys & Co., of Tottenham Court Road, London, are working up into articles of jewellery and ornamental trinkets a new material called “neapoline,” which is a particularly good imitation of coral. Indeed, the resemblance is such that we are not surprised to learn that experienced judges have at first sight taken the neapoline for Naples coral. It is presumably of the nature of celluloid, which is largely used by jewellery manufacturers in the States, though, as Messrs. Jefferys state that it is an English invention, it cannot be identical with that substance. The “Climax” solitaire, an ingeniously simple invention, whose attachment is effected without springs or movable pieces, is made in “neapoline," and the carved breast-pins and other articles we have seen in the same material are very pretty and effective.
