The government still fosters the art,
to whirl emperors and princes Lave
not disdained to serve an apprentice-
ship. There is one family whish has
been famous for its swords for twelve
oentus'ies, and sword inspeotors, ap-
pointed and paid by the government,
whose forefathers have passed the of-
flee and its traditions to their chil-
dren through 500 years. 'The sword -
maker holds himself among the elect,
and swordmaking is surrounded with
all the mystery of the Nibelungeu le-
gend.
The first, sword, so the old story
runs, was the tail of a terrible dragon,
which was vanquished by the use of a
mirror and crystal about the year 60
A.D.; but the earliest date on any
sword now known to exist places the
time of Lis origin! at A. D. 702, Cop-
per and bronze were used at first,
and steel and iron did not appear un-
til the twelfth century.
Many of the forgers' secrets died
with their families, and the blades of
1290 and 1840 are most prized. It was
about that time that Masamune and
his pupil Muramasa made their
swords. As he struck the iron old
Masamuna would chant, "Peace on
earth,peaceon earth, peace on earth."
It was
A STRANGE DEDICATION
for a War weapon, but Masamuna,
swordmakar as he was, had humanitar-
ian ideas, and believed, like some great
warriors of a later century, that the
sword was the surest peacemaker.
Muramasa, his pupil, was of a dif-
ferent mind, and his chant was al-
ways, "War on earth; war on earth."
His blades were unlucky, and when
they etruck home in a fight could not
be withdrawn. They were such bad,
quarrel -making swords that the wear-
ing of them was forbidden. Such
traditions are associated with the
name of nearly every famous sword -
maker in the history, of the art.
Early swords were chiefly for out-
s ting, the oldest heavy and double-
! edged. Later, fencing swords of
lighter weight were made, but as arm-
' or was introduced they became heavi-
' er again. An old law 'prohibits more
i than two blades to be worn by anyone.
The sword was a badge of dignity, and
certain proud nobleman, It is said, be-
; gnat ,to wear too many. The long
' sword was given to a servant who
curried it before his master, and when
the master went visiting it was re-
calved at the door and placed on a
rack.
I The long sword, in Japanese eti-
I quotte, was treated much like the silk
hat of occidental civilization. There
were swords for all classes of society,
from ladies of the midtary plass to
tradesmen, and the 'position in which
the blade was worn, perpendicular,
curve up, or curve down, conveyed
some delicate difference in the wear-
er's condition of life.
The etiquette of swords is observed
in Japan to -day vary much as it has
been observed for centuries, To draw
a sword from its scabbard without
permission is as insulting 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
withdrawn very slowly, the scabbard
held horizontally, and the blade rest-
ing on its back as it slides out.
Lest the faintest breath should reach
the steel, the, connoisseur, when he
shows a valuable sword, and the
guest to whom he sho0vs 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
GOOD SPONGES.
Although the 'difference between a
good and a bad sponge is very mark-
ed, but few people seem able to ap=
preciate it. The .first requiette of a
good sponge is that it should be dark
in color. The beautiful yellowsponges
commonly seen in druggists' windows,
are a delusion and a snare. The nat-
ural color is a light to medium brown,
and the yellow sponges have been
bleached. by a vitriol bath, which de-
stroys their elasticity and makes them

AN AFFRONT SCO ITS OWNER..
Climatic ohengee are carefully guard-
ed against.
Capt. Zali.n.ski, who was In Japan at
the time of the Chine -Japan war,
wanted to see how they were made,
and by the emperor's permission in-
duced the imperial instructor in sword -
making in the school of fine arts in
Tokio to give a demonstration of his
work. The swordsmtth prepared for
work 'by prayer and penance, fasting
and cold ablutions; religious articles
were placed about to the forgo room ;
little wisps of straw were stuck here
and there, and folded papers hung over
the forge.
Unless he offered prayer while he
worked, it was explained, the art was
not thought to he complete. It was
on the principle that a bad man made
a bad awned, and only a good male,
throwing his heart and soul into it,
could slake a good sword, Each fam-
ily, of swordsmil,hs has 105 own sec-
rete, which it guards jealously, the
special eharitoteristics of their swords
remaining the salve century after
century. '
The swordmakar took two pieties of
steel, one of whioly was ehiiled in wa-
ter and broken, He chose for his
sward the plows that looked well at
the .break and welded them, folding
thane over fifteen times or more. Four
Such bars were made and combined,
sometimes being plunged into water,
but more often enoledi in straw ashes,
He would hammer the bar out long
nn<1 !bend it double; hammet' it broad
and flat Seel fold it down the middle.
Sono sword Inakere, the captain was
told, fouled their bars dingonally.
When all was finished the forger had
made Bowe four milliofq fins layers. It
was this that,gave the sword its "ha -
da," or "akin,' an almost imperceptible
granular rtppaarance running length -
WISP, or sidewise, or diagonally, ac-
cording to the method of folding.
Same of the swords, by a peculiar
treutmcat, turned out pure and shear
end allowed no such' grain.
WITH A DRAWKNIFE,
the swordanalter shaped his bot steel
and began the tempering, with aeeom-
paniment of prayers and much re-
ligious observance. The forgo room
was darkened, to make it easier to
judge the right glow of the steel on
the forge. The blade was covered
with loam, o1• clay from 1 to 3-:Oths of
u
r' was
narrow etrip inc ar w
an inch a nkn
p
seraped baro ALt oa cutting $ edge.Var-
ious smiths, with varied fancies, scrape
it off with straight or dentated or
wavy linos, and the pattern always re-
mains after the tempering is over,
The blade was heated with great
care that it should have just the right
cherry glow, end plunged into the
hath. Here, too, the Caney or the
traditions of the maker's family dic-
tate
ietate different methods. Some plunge
the sword in perpendicularly, some
horizontally, with the blade down-
ward, sone:. with the edge downward.
The blade was kept in constant mo-
tion. The part that had been covered
with loam was very soft when the
steel hacl cooled; the part that had
bean scraped bare was very bard. The
curve of the finished blade was a mar-
vel of accuracy.
Tho finished sword is ceually en-
graved with the maker's signature,
but the best smiths are so proud of
their work, and it has to the export
eye so much individuality, that they
disdain any signature. The sword is
finished on a whetstone by careful
and tedious rubbing, and is polished
with fine• stone and rice powder. Some
ancient rule of the art has fixed upon
winter as the best season for polish-
ing a sword.
To be really valuable and worthy of
a plana 1n a nobleman's collection the
blade must be 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 mast of
the other details of swordmaking, are
often hereditary, and the maker tries
his blade on exactly the same objects
and with the same ceremonies that
were used by his great-grandfather
and his ancestors before him.
A large number of swords bought
by strangers in Japan and taken home
to be displayed with much pride and
circumstantial relation of swordmak-
ing 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 its date, its
maker and its test.
Judging a blade is as muoh 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 indhes. These are the "limey,"
adding much to the value and beauty
of 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, pouting the fracture un-
der a microscope, found its texture ap-
parently the same as that of the Jap-
anese sword.

Among an ' n vicinity!
A g the anany w this v yl
who firmly believe in the efficacy, of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a aura for
rheumatism is Mr. John Stewart, of
Eortonville. To a representative of
the Acadian who recently interviewed
him, Mr. Stewart said he hall been a
victim to the pangs of rheumatism for
upwards of twenty years. Two years
ago Mr. Stewart was thrown ,from a
Ioad of hay and was injured so severely
that he was obliged to take to his bed.
While inthis condition his old enemy
-rheumatism-again fastened itself
upon him, the pains radiating Lo
almost every joint in his body, making
life almost a burden. He had read
frequently in the Acadian of the
cures effected through the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and decided
to give them' a trial., After the.
use of li few boxes the pains begun to
diminish, and his general health be-
gan to improve. Mr. Stewart con-
tinual taking the pills until he had
used eight boxes, when the pains had
entirely disappeared and another vic-
tory over disease had been won, by this
peerless modiciue.
The Acadian pan add that Mr. Stew-
art is 'worthy' of every credence, as be
is a man of intelligentsia and sterling
qualities, whose word is unhesitatingly
accepted by all who know him.
STs public is cautioned against
numerous pink colored imitations of
these femme pills. The genuine aro
sold only in boxes, the wrapper around
which bears the words "Di. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People," If your
dealer does not have them they will be
sent postpaid at 50 cents a box, 5,r six

WILD FLOWERS'.
" Kuala is, said and written about the
decrease in certain species of birds on
account of their sla,ughter that their
feathers may be used fur decorative
purposes," said ,an enthusiastic botan-
ist recently, " Nobody, however, raises
a voice in defense of the flowers, which
have died out entirely, in many locali-
ties on account Of their wanton de-
etruotiou. Who, walking in a garden
and wishing to gather a sprig of
mignonette, would dream of pulling
up the plant by the•xocta in order to
obtain it? Yet this is what 'nearly
every wild flowers gatherer considers
himself justified in ()Minn.
"The Mayflower, particularly, is a
great sufferer, as its long running
roots come up easily. Even early in the
spring these roots are preparing for
next season's flowers, and this whole-
sale destruction of them ruins next
year's blossoms.
" The beautiful Hartford fern, look-
ing more like a vine than a fern, with
its pre't'ty, Live -pointed leaf and de-
licate pale green fruit, has now be-
come almost as rare as the Buffalu
fern. Till within ,the last six years
the sunny bank on Riverside park,
near the quaint tomb of " an amiable
child,' was as easily as the middle of
March covered with thousands of the
bells of the doge -teem violet, This
year there has not been one flower,
or even a leaf.
" That the Proper picking or wild
flowers does no injury is not question-
ed, and it seems a simple thing to
gather them so as to leave the roots
intact. Scissors axe not a burden, and
;f one will carry these and a tin box,
even a cracker box, these woodland
treasures may be taken long distances
and remain perfectly fresh. Even e
pasteboard box with a bit of oiled pa-
per inside is a fairly good substitute
for tin. Do not throw the flowers
away they wither, b rt
carry them
m
home, cub the stems with scissors,
so
as to present afresh surface, and put
Mean into water so hat as to be al-
most boiling. If treated this way they
will generally revive.
"If ono has a spot on the north side
of the house, or in some shaded pleas
where nothing else will grow, try a
wild flower garden. After it has once
been planted, it will keep coming up
each year. Ono point only is absolute-
ly essential. There must be good dirt,
a mixture of wood naiad and sand be-
ing the best. If this is unobtainable,
gent 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 nearest kind, seek
shade. This is a good season to trans-
plant them, and with !a little care and
watering they will be atdelight all
summer, and in the autumn take on
the prettiest shades of yellow and
golden brown.
"If one wishes to add £towers, it is
well to remember all the violets are
abundant bloomers and increase rap-
idly. The meadow -rue is graceful and
pretty, its tassels being els decora-
tive as flowers. And of the lady-slip-
pes, white, pink or ''yellow, are a long

a pieoe of gummed paper bearing a
picture of fruit. They are neat, pretty
and inexpensive.
ROASTING MEATS.
One of the small but essential points
in the roasting of meats often neglect-
ed or not understood by the average
kitchen priestess, 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 depend upon the juices to con
tinue the pdoee55. It should be remora.
bored, too, that all roast meats need
a hot oven to start with. Afterward
the haat should be tempered.
