I lead tate opportunity of seeing one of theta
weapon, and they ere certainly admfrairlo.
Air. Koch, ono of the foreman, took one in
his hand, and putting the point en rho
ground, he bent it t4 sea to have the innate
almost touch the ground without ,,break•
ing alae blade. Ile then ',bowed it to me,
and the weapon ttnl, au straight air a lino.
The gentleman then took me into the yard,
where* number of homy ssndstomps wore
lying *bent,
"ifero you are," he said. +a Seo if you
sen knock a plooa out of that sword on, that
stone."
I took the handle in both handl, and
*truck tho atone with all my might. But
to my aatoniehment a piece flew off the
atone, while the sword dial :not even ewer
the least evidence of the blow.
"Everyone of theta weapons has to stand
that teat," I was informed, "or we do not
put the mark of our firm on It, nor do we
deliver it as a Brat -elan weapon.'
I went all through this factory, which
employs over 1,000 men exclusively in the
manufacture of fine weapons, They aro
now filling an order for tho Genian Govern-
ment of u new bayonet. Eight hundred
thousand aro to be made, and the firm de-
livers 1,500 a day. The weapon is 12 in-
ches long, and the Government pays 0 marks
for each of them, when finished.
1fAKI 0 WEAPONS OP WAR.
Before a piece of steel is converted into
such an instrument of war it has to go
through quite a process. To show me this
Mr. Koch took me into a large apace at one
end of the factory, where I at once noticed
pieces of steel varying in length from 10 to
20 feet, standing all around the walls. In
the centre of the room steed a large machine
where one man and a boy were occupied.
"This is where the ateel le cut before it
has re:eived a stroke yet toward the shape
of a sword, eo wo might call this the store-
room for raw material." Thus my kind
informant began bis explanation. "The
Iong pieces of steel, which were about 2e
inches wide, were then put under the ma-
chine, and by the turning of a crink pieces
of about 12 inches fell one after the other
into a basket. The boy then banded the
man another piece of steel, put en empty
basket under the machine, and carried the
short pieces into an adjoining apartment.
We followed, and from the number of fires
all around I guessed that we must have ar-
rived at the forges. And so it was. Each
one of these pieces of steel was put into the
fire, and when it was white with heat a. man
put it under a steam hammer, which atruok
the heated steel in rapid auccesaion about
20 times on every particle of its surface.
When it was pulled out, the piece was
about 18 inches long. It was now thrown
into a large barrel filled with water. Now
the wonld.be•aword had gone through the
hardening process, and a number of boys
gathered them again into baskets to carry
them to the rolling department. In the
front of each of these rolls I had my atten•
tion called to a big coke fire. This fire
was stirred up to an enormous heat, and
then the pieces of steel were one by one put
into the fire. There are two men occupied
at each roll, viz: the roller and his helper.
As noon as the steel is hot again it comes
under the roll, from were it emerges about
one-eighth of an inch thick and the eventual
shape of the sword stamped on it,
Again the pieces of steel are carried off,
and this time they go to the centre presses,
where they are put under a contrivance
which cuts the margins off the steel, and
when they leave here a ou can see that the
thing looks like a sword.
Hitherto, however, you have seen nothing
but a dark blue piece of dirty steel, while
we now come into the departments where the
metal is brightened. There is at first the
" grind mill." This is a large place which
looks like a barn. From one end of the
room to the other I obeerved rows of inn- AS YOU LIKE T.
menee grindstones acme of them eight feet
a diameter. In f ec ory saw etonee
and in the front of each sat a guider, He
has a little wooden 'seat, wears a woollen
shirt, no cap, and a pair of overalls. But
over the latter up to hia knees he has wood-
en gaiters, made out of four pieces of wood.
His feet are Moo enclosed in wooden sheee.
The stones aro turned by atom and watered
automatically. in the front of this stone
the wan sits from aix o'clock in the morning
until twelve o'clock at noon. Then he has
an hour for dinner, when he site down again
from one o'clock, until iia in the .evening,

factory, and the grinder has to be very sill.

know when toress the steel herd agaiust
the et ane and when not. A single scraping
or the atone too much spoils the whole
weapon, and it hes to be thrown Away,
Moat of the other work is mechanical, while
here it is intelligence that does the work
satisfactorily.
From the grinding etone the piece of
steel newest bright and sharp. It is now

Over -Reading,
We aro partly bambotzned by tradition
Prom our youth up wo are deafened on all
sides by advice to ",read and improve our
minds." The inference is that the mind is
improved by reading. Bot that inference is
open to serious question. For my part, I
Should be willing to haxerd the atatement
that twice as many minis have been injured
by reading than have been benefitted by it,
and not a amell proportion of the former
have been made entirely worthless by the
practice. Itis just like dram -drinking; it
is intellectual dram-drinking—and "intel-
lectual'' is scarcely the word to use in that
connection. One reason is, no doubt, that
the drams in question are, for the moat part,
of very inferior stuff. But even if it were
of the beat stuff imaginable, the detrimental
effect would remain. The finest madeira, if
swallowed in sufficiently copious doses, will
produce delir'um tremens ; and the most un-
exceptionable books, if they are also too
numerous, will bring on mental dyspepsia.
The mind becomes a mere sack to hold d other
people's ideas, instead of a machine to gen-
erate ideas of its own. And the ideas thus
acquired are of no use to it. The mind has
lost the power to work them up into fieeh.
and blood of wisdom. They remain a hetero-
geneous and incongruous mase, Foreign
material, whether physical or intellectual,
should be taken in with discrimination and
moderation, and thoroughly assimilated.
Unless you need it and like it, you cannot
make it yours ; whether you swallow it or
not, it really stays outside of you.
Clinese Superstitions.
A girl who is partaking of the last meal
the is to eat in her father's houses previous
to her marriage, sits at the table with her

her, else her departure will be' followed by
continual scarcity in the domicile she is
leaving.

Mies Jessie Keyes, of Boston, has a re-
markable record, and it is doubtful if there
can be found a parallel to it. She entered a

and graduated at the high school commence-

During the period of eleven years she neichor
lost a day by absence nor a minute by tardi-
ness, and she stood seventh in a close of
forty-four. It is remarkable that in all this
time sickness, a funeral or a wedding has not
occurred to necessitate her absence from
school, but with commendable foresight she
arranged to catch the measles during vaca-
tion, and the only funeral she was called to
attend occurred on Saturday.
