A. 0. lee.
Twelve centuries oe svvordraaking in
japan nave surreuncled. the blade
with all manner of legends and cus-
toms and conventions, The long-
range /nitrate rifie is the weapoo of
the army now, but the making of
swords still abeerbs tne interest of
japaneee connoisseurs.
The government still fosters the art,
to ' which emperors and princes have
not disdained to serve an apprentice-
ship. There is one family which has
been taraous for its Swords for twelve
centuries, and sword inspectors, ap-
pointed and paid by the government,
whose forefathers have passed the of -
ties and its traditions to their chil-
dren through 500 years. The sword -
maker holds jaineself among the elect,
and swordmaking is surrounded With
all the mystery of the Nibelungen le-
gend. .
The first, sword, so the old etory
rune, was the tail of a terrible dragon,
which was vanquished by the use of a
mirror and crystal about the year 50
A.D. but the earliest date on any
sword now known to exisi places the
time of its origin at A. D. 702. Cop-
per and bronze were used at first,
and steel and iron did not appear un-
til the twelfth eentury.
Many of the forgers' secrets died
with their families, and the Glades of
1290 and 1340 are most prized. It Was
about that time that Masammie and
his pupil 1VIuramasa made their
swords. As he struck the irate old
Masamune would chant, "Peace oh
earth, peace onearth, peace on earth."
It was
A STRANGE DEDWATION
for a war weapon, but Masanaune,
swordmeker as he was, hail humanitirr-
ian ideas, and believed, like same great
warriors of a later century, that the
sword was the surest peacemaker.
NItirantasa, his pupil, was of a dif-
ferent mind, and his .01:lent was al-
ways, "War on earth; war on earth."
His blades were unlucky, and when
they struck home in a fight could not
be withdrawn. They were such bad,
quarrel -making swords that the wear-
ing of them was forbidden. Sucb
traditions are associated witb the
name of neaely every fanaous sword -
maker in the"history of the art.
Early swords were chiefly for cut-
ting, the ,oldest heavy and double-
edged. Later, fencing swords of
lighter weight were made, but as arra-
or was introduced they became heavi-
er again. An old law prohibits more
than two blades to be worn by anyone.
The sword was a badge of dignity, and
certain proud noblemen. it is said, be-
gan to wear too many. The long
sword was given to a aervant who
carried it before his master, and when
the master went visiting it was re-
ceived at the door and placed on a
rack. •
The • long sword, in Japanese eti-
quette, was treated much like the silk
hat of occidental civilization. There
were swords for all classes of society,
from ladies of the mi.itary class to
tradesmen, and the position in which
the blade was • worn, ,perpendieular,
curve up, or curve down; conveyed
Same delicate difference in the wear-
er's condition of life. •
The etiquette of swords is observed
in Japan to -day very much as it has
been observed for centuries. To draw
a sword from its scabbard without
permission is as insolting to its owner
as to open his letters. Blades that
bear the dates of the eighth and ninth
centuries are as, good now as when
they were forged, without a nick or
a spot of rust- • The sword is always
witbdrawn very slowly, the seabba.rd
held horizontally, and the blade rest-
ing on its Joacle as it slides out.
Lest the faintest breath should reach
the steel, the eonnoisseur, when he
shows, a valuable sword, and the
guest to whom he shows it wear
shields of paper over the lower part
of their faces. The blade is handled
with silk; to touch it with the bare
hand is • "
AN AFFRONT TO ITS OWNER.
Climatio changes are carefully guard-
ed against.
Capt. Zalinski, who was In Japan at
the time of the China -Japan war,
wanted to see how they were made,
and by the enaperor's permission in-
duced the imperial instructor in sword. -
malting in the school of fine arts in
Tokio to give a demonstration of his
work. The swordsmith prepared for
work by prayer and penance, fasting
and cold ablutions; religious articles
were placed about in the forge room;
little wisps of straw wereastuele here
and there, and folded papers hung over
the forge.
Unless he offered/ prayer while he
rked, it was explained, the art was
t thought to be complete. It was
the principle that a bad man made
bad sword, and only a good man,
/awing bis heart and soul into it,
ld• make a good sword. Each fam-
of swords:maths has its own eec-
s, which it guards jealously, the

was this that,gavet. the sword its "ha -

granular teepeeranee running length-
wise, or LiideoWL$0, or diagonally, ac-
cording to • the method of folding.
Seine of the swords, by a peculiar
treatmeat, turned out pure and eheer
and allowed no such grain.
WITH A DRA.WKNIPE,
the swordmaker shaped his hot steel
andbegan the tempering, with accom-
Panimcee of prayers and much re-
ligious observance. The forge room
was darkened, to make it easier to
judge the right glow of the teel on
the forge. The blade was covered
with loam, or clay from 1 to &nettle of
an inch thick, and a narrow strip was
sekaped bare at tee cutting edge. Var-
ious smiths, withvaried fancies, serape
it off with straight or denta.ted or
wavy lines, and. tbe pattern always re -
=mina after the tempering is over.
The blade was heated with great
care that it should have just the right
cherry glow, and plueged into the
bath. Here, too, the fancy or the
traditions of the maker's family die -
tate different methods. Some plunge
the , sword in perpendicularly, sorae
horizontally, with the blade down-
ward, some with the edge downward.
The blade was keit in conetant mo-
tion. The part thee had been covered
with loam was very soft when. the
steel had cooled; the part that had
been scraped bare was very hard. The
curve of the finished blade was a mar-
vel c3f accuracy.
The finiehea sword is usually en-
graved with the maker's signature,
but the be,st smiths are so proud of
their work, and it has to the expert
eye so much individuality, that they
disdain any signature. The setord is
finished on a whetstoiae by careful
and tedious rubbing, and is polished
with fine stone and rice powder. Some
ancient eale of the art has fixed. upon
winter as the 'best season for polish-
tng a sword.
To be rially valuable and worthy of
a place in a nobleman's collection the
blade mustbe tried at an execution,
on one or more men at a single blow.
THERE ARE OTHER TESTS
such as cutting corns, hairs and leaves,
but these minor forms, like most of
the- other details of sworclmaking, are
often hereditary, and the maker tries
his blade an exactly the same objects
and with the same cerenionies that
were used by his great-grandfather
and his ancestors before him.
A large number ofa swords botight
by strangers in Japan 'and taken home
to be displayed ,with much pride and
circumstantial reration of swordmak-
bag legends are gross frauds. The
sword that is really valuable should
have fastened to the heft by a wax
seal, the linen tag of the imperial in-
spector, certifying to ite date, its
maker and its test.
Judging a blade is as ranch an art
as is the judging of porcelain or gems.
The greater the contrast between the
blue of the soft. steel and the white of
the tempered edge the better the
blade. The line between the two col-
ors should not be too fine. On the
side of the blade are usually paler
spots, shaped like little clouds, and
placed symmetrically at intervals of a
few inches. These are the "innoy,"
adding much to the value and beauty
ot the- sword and made by a trick 'of
tempering.
Capt. Zalinski found that Toledo
blades, as far as the secret of their
manufacture could be learned, were
made by almost the same method used
by the Japanese. He broke an old
Toledo, and, putting the fracture un-
der a microscope, found its texture ap-
parently the same as that of the Jap-
anese sword.
• KINGLY WOOING.
,The manner in which the latest great
English courtship his been carried on
suggests in some details that employ-
ed by Henry VIII. when in search of
a bride. He sent Franeeys Marsyn,
James Braybroke and John Stile to
" see whether she has a, mustache," and
to make other personal observations,
In regard to this first- particular the
investigating commission made an -
ewer:
" We noticed no hair, save possibly
a little down on her lips, and there
skin is very clean."
But the work did not stop there.
They were to "approach the young
„,
Princess hetween meals and engage
her. in conversation so as to get de-
cently as near her breath as possible,
and. observe her breath, ,whether it is
e,weele. or .not, whether it smells of
some seek°, rosewater or musk."
Whereto here it; the grave reply:
" Concerning that which relates' tothe
breath of the said young Princess, we
could not approach near enough her
lips to be certain; of this article; how-
ever, without seeming td do anything,
and as much as modesty would allow,
we coramunicated with the (said young
Princess, and we must say that we
have detected no odor of spice or rose-
water, and to judge from the redness
of. her lips, the lily whiteness of her
complexion and the fresbness of her
mouth, we are led to believe that it is
the healthfulness and the joy of life
BREAKING IN NEW SHOES.
There is a time for everything, and
that includes a time for trying on new
shoes. The feet axe different sizes at
different times in the day. In the
morning they usually are larger, and
much walking, too, inclines them to
swell so that teew shoes should not be
worn at elide times. If the shoes are
inelineeto be tight, one road to relief
is to bathe the feet in cold water and
dress them in new hose. Tight
shoe should never be put on direct-
ly after taking a hot bath.

WILD FLOWERS.
" much is said and written about the
decrease in certain Species ot bird ii on
account of their slaughter that their
feathers may be used tor decorative
pueposes," said, an enthaeiastic botan-
ist- recently. " Nobody, however, raises
a voice' in defense 61! the flowers, winch
have died met entirely in many locali-
ties on ancoont of their . wanton • de-
strectidn. Who, walking/in a' garden
and wishing to '/getner a sprig of
neignenette, would' cl're•aM of. pulling
up the pleest by thetoots in order to
obtain it ? , Yet thisis what nearly
every wild flower.s gatherer considers
himself justified in doinng. •
, The Mayflower, paetieularly, is a
great sufferer, as its long running
roots ccune up eaeily. Even early inthe
mixing these roots are preparing for
next season's flowers, and this whole-
sale destruction of them ruins next
years blossoms.
" The beautiful Hartford fern, look-
ing more like a vine tha,n a fern, with
its pretty, five -pointed leaf and de-
licate Pale green fruit, has now be-
come alienist as rare as the Buffalu
fern. Till Within the laat six years
the sunny bank on Riverside park,
near the quaint tomb of "an amiable
child,' was as early as the middle of
March covered with thousands of the
bells of the dog -tooth violet. This
year there has not been one flower,
or even a leaf.
"That the proper picking ot wild
flowers does no injury is not question-
ed, and it seems a simple thing to
ether thexa so as to leave the roota
intact. Scissors are not a burden, and
if one will carry these and a tin box,
even a cracker box, these woodland
treasures may be taken long distances
and remain perfectly fresh. Elena a
pasteboard. box with a bit of oiled pa-
per inside is Le fairly gpod substitute
for tin. Do 3ipt throw"' the flowers
awaY if these. Wither, but carry them
home, out the stems with scissors, so
as to present a fresh surface, and put
tb:ema into welter so hot as to be al-
most boiling. If treated this Way they
will generally revive.
"If one has a spot on the northside
of the house, or in some shaded place
where nothing else will grow, try a
wild flower garden. After it has once
been planted, it will keep coming up
each year. Ona point only is absolute-
ly essential. There 'must be good dirt,
a mixture of wood moldand and be-
ing the beet. If this is unobtainable,
get good garden: soil and sand, the
sand keeping the soil porous, a neces-
sity to wood plants.
" All ferns, from the feathery mai-
den -hair, to the coare.st kind, seek
shade. This is a good season to trans-
plant them, and with 'a little care and
watering theywill be a; delight all
summer,i
and n the antler= take on
the prettiest shades of yellow and
golden brown.
"If one wishes to add flowers, it is
well to remember all the violets are
abundant -bloomers and increase rap-
idly. Themeadow-rue is graceful and
pretty, its tassels being as decora-
tive as flowers. And of the lady -slip -
pea, white, pink or Yellow, are a long
time 'fOrraing, and last nearly twcr
weeks. "To make a round bed, which is the
prettiest of all, pile some large stones
together and fill in all spaces with
the dirt mixture mentioned above.
Then plant ferns at the bottain, put-
ting the flowering plants at the top.
The little five -finger plant makes A.
pretty runner, its starry yellow blos-
soms being gay ell summer. .Tack -in -
the pulpit is a nice addition, but
needs.much watering
All the other plants raentioned,
will take are of themselves, multiply
rapidly, and greet one cheerfully each
spring."

A GOOD THING.
One of the handiest things that has
ever beexa gotten up by the enterpris-
ing manufacturer, is the new label for
fruit cans. It is no longer necessary
to spend, hot afternoons cutting and.
writing and posting elan.umeranfee
small labels. The new kind is simply
a, piece of glinuned. paper bearino a
picture of fruit. They are neat, pretty
and inexpensive.
ROASTING MEATS.
One of the small but essential points
in the roasting of meals often neglect-
ed or not understooci by the average
kitchen prlestess, is that hot fat, rath-
er than hot water, should be used to
baste them. Start the fat of the roast
with a little butter or good drippings
and then dependupon the juices to con-
tinue the process. It should be remem-
bered, too, that all roast meats need
a hot •oven to start with. Afterward
the heat should be tempered.
