A bronzed workman, whose bared arm ▪ awung a hammer with rythmio best upon an anvilestood in the glare of a forge fire in a banding near the Pennsylvania railroad sta- tion in Jersey City forging an iron chain. Perapiration poured down his face and bared ohest, but he kept steadily at his work. He turned met link after link with remarkable repidity and dexterity. Half a dozen forge fires were ablaze about him, and other men as big -chested and strong-armed as he were forging also, with their shirts thrown wide open at the throat, their sleeves rolled up to their elbows, Had leather aprons bound around their waists. The boss of the forge, a rotund, jolly -faced man, who was in his Shirt sleeves also, gazed at the workmen with pride. " They're tonere," he said, " whose work beats the work done by machines, and that aort of thing don't happen now-atdays you know. In chainonsking the human hand is more trustworthy than any machinery yet invented to do its work. An odd thing about chain making hereabouts is that you will hardly ever find a native American en- gaged in it. In 17 years of business I never had a native chain ineker at work. Most of there are Englieh, although I once had a German and twice an Irishman who could make chains. It is exhaustive of vitality because of the heat the laborer has to endure while at work. Amerieans prefer trades where they can werk their brains more and their vital. strength less, and they ere right aboat it." One of the werkinen in showing the method of makingand welding a link select- ed the most difficult part of the work. It was the fitting and welding of a big iink around a hook. He heated a bar of iron six inches in length to a white heat, bent it into the shape of a U with three Islows of his hamraer, and slid ft back into the fire again. It was vrhite het again whet he drew it out and thrust it intothe eye of the hook and beat the open ends together into the form of a link. That was called "searfing" the link. The link was heated a, third Mme and slip- ped over a shank of iron beside the anvil. Then he lowered ovehethe ends of the link a bar of iron, called a siaedge, with a hollow- • ed end that exactly fitted over the round surface of the link, beat his hammer upon the swedge, and welded the ends of the link together, making a perfectly smooth and <complete link. " Ordinary observers," tha forge owner said , " would not notice the epecial dexter- ity that is shown in that work. I refer to the singular flexibility of -that workman's wrist. Without that remarkable flexibility he could not make a chain. You would dis- cover that fact at once if you, were to watch a horseshoer, who has all' the muscular strength of arm and wrist 'that a chain maleer possesses, attempt to scarf and weld a link, Elia efforts would. be clumsy and in- . effectaal, and he would have tit give up the job. Chain makers begin as apprentices generally before they are nine years old. In Staffordshire, where most of the chain makers who work in the vicinity of New York come from, bays and girla are set to learn the trade when. they are eeven years old, Women also work at chain making with the boys at Staffordshire. : They make light iron chains with small links. Chain makers make good wages, from $3 50 to $4 per day, and they acquire a good compe- tency if they work eteadily. Rut the work is, as I have said, so exhmusting, that few chain makers work steadily. Their working hours average about six hours a day, aed, considering the eharacter of the work, thet is a long and mighty hard day's work. It represents an abundant amount of sweat of brow for the pay." " What are the best chains VI I'he pest °hiss of work is the small pul- ley chains," he replied, " and weeny people are surprised when they are told the fact. Most folks looking at the cable ehains made for war ancl navy yards imagine that they are examples of the beat end most difficult work. Bat, as a matter of feet, they are classed as the commonest end erisiest work. The chiiin maker, who shapes add welds the big links, has two or three helpers to aid him, and the links, because of , their size, retoin heat so long that the worklof making the links is expedited. In ahe smaller chains the maker has to work with increased epeed and dexterity because the links cool rapidly. " The links have to bea more per- fectly welded in the mailer chais. It is in this one prime essential of perfent welding that hand work lays away oi4 machine work in thoroughnesse Imperfeet links are turned out by machines very ftequently, but that never happens when thay are made by the hand of a workman that knows his business. The best chains in the world are known as Lord Ward chains, an& are madet on the other side of the water froth material; taken from the Earl of Derby's mines. Hand made chains cost twice as much as the machine made, but, on the other hand, they. are twice as good and they last twice as long. " Chain making isn't much of an industry in tints country, despite the good *ages earn- ed by good workmen, This forge of mine is the only one of any pretensions in this vicinity. There are other forges in Trenton, Philadelphia, Boston and Troyt and that about finiehes the list. In Troy a colony of chain makers makes fair wages, and many of the workmen own their own bottles. They turn out a large part of the eluting used by Uncle Sam."—Ex. , Petei rhe meanest man i ever &kW 4vOs right next door to ' me. He came to live in .

A writer in the Horticultural times ex - preens surprise that honey is ao seldom seen on the tables of the people of this coun- try. " Honey," he says, " is al,t once a valuable medicine and food. Foul air, im- proper ventilation, sudden changes ot weather, the exposure of lungs and4hroat to a damp atmosphere are the source of no end. of throat and bronchial troubles. A free, regular and coostent use of honaa is prob. ably the best medicine for throat troubles there is. It is a most wholesome and economical substitute for butter, being as a rule hail the price of that article.' Honey is of more service in our cooking than many people imagine. " Honey, may, indeed, replace' sugar as an ingredient in the cooking of almost any article of food. In rid! puddings the writer invariably uses honey instead of sugar ; the favor is much more delicious. Fot preserv- ing moat kinds of fruit, honey is far prefer- able to sugar, as ih has the quality' of pre- serving for a. long time in a fresh stete any- thing that may be laid in it or mixed. with it, and preventing its corruption in a far superior manner to sugar. For inany medicinal purposes honey is invaluable. To town residents who may be faded and look care wore after the excitement of lete hours, -when the skin becomes dry, red and harah looking, try the effects of rubbing !,gently a thin coating of honey on the face before go• ing to bed. It is one of the finest *cosmetics in the world. Suffering For OtherS. In a. Own ita Belgium, while a church was being erected a weather cock had to be put on the steeple, and, as the staging was not high enough, one man had to stand on the broad ahoulders of another, who heeded up the pan of hot coals and the melted leaa. When the weather cock wits finialsed, the man cleacended and the on -lookers took breath, bat the broad staiuldered nian ciente down slowly and unstcanly, and on 'teaching the ground he fell. His shoulders, arms and breast were covered with terribleburne. While his comrade, whom he bore on his shoulders was soldering the weather cock, the boiling lead was running down drop' by drop on him, and though tormented by fear- ful pains, he had not moved, as 41sy start would have sent the other man to his death. This hero suffered that another mIght live. Children Cry' for roundly pay„, i • 4 i L!i .

The weapon is 1 .2 meters long, exclusive of the bayonet ; and of 6.5 millimeters cali- ber. The most important factor in connec- tion with'the rifle is the smokeless powder ;cartridge, whicia owing to its light weight and small size, permits the number of cart- ridges carried by the soldier to be aug- mented to 160. The initial velocity of the bullet is 720 meters per second, and with regard to its penetrative force, it is said that the ball will pierce two mattresses and two planki 12 centimeters (5 inches) thick, at a distance of 1,200 meters, or 4,000 feet. Loading is effected by, means of magazines containing five cartridges so arranged that a repeating fire may be maintained until the magazine is exhausted. A few experts who witnessed the experiments assert that ehe new rifle is too short ; but the major- ity were convinced that the weapon is the best and most destructive at present exist- ing among European armies. Strychnine for Snake Bite. A curious instance of one poison killing another is reported from Yackandandah, Victoria, where Dr. Mueller has recently edministered strychnine in cases of snake bite. A solution of nitrate of strychnine in 140 parts of water, mixed with. a little glycerine, is prepared, and twenty minims injected hypodermically at intervals of -ten , to twenty minutes, according to the viru- lence of the attack. In some cases a grain of strychnine has been given thus withie a few hours. The two poisons are antagonis- tic. Out of the hundred patients treahed this way, some of whom were at the poust of death, there was only one failure. Any part -of the body will serve for the injec- tion, but Dr. Mueller chooses a part near the snake bite. A Device to- Enable Merchants to Utilizo the High Shelves. A much-neeried and practical device for reaching high shelving, utilizing the -hith- erto unoccupied. space in high stoles, maks , ing the upper shelving as valuable as the lower, is shown by the accompanying illus- tration. The ladder, having rolls at top and bottom. is easily nrouelied by the Valle Car Lighting. At a recent meeting of the New England Railroad Club the subject of debate was the lighting of railroad cars. The drift of opinion seemed to be that mineral oil la,mpst with oil at 300° fire test, furnished the most brilliant, safe, and economical light. Cosb to equip a car with five Sherburn lamps, $165. Next to this came the compressed gas system—the Pintsch system being the. one most extensively used. Cost to equip a car, $400.• The gas is carried in tanks under the floor of the car. The compression is from 90 pounds to 225 pounds to the square inch.

" Of course I'll hear yoa colonel," she murmured encouragingly, The colonel coughed. " Thank you, my dear madam. I am very grateful. I am—er."— The colOnel seemed to be wandering. " That 'is to say—er--I would like to know—er—er."— She felt it clue to her future happiness to look the colonel full iu the face and smile., " That is—how—how—how."— " Yes, colonel." " How do yon keep your false teeth from falling out. I can't keep mine in my mouth to sa,ve my neck." The colonel appeared to be real anxious, and the wont of it was that he obtained very little tatisfactory information after all. —Detroit Tribune. Too Much Memory. " Therois such a thing as an actual waste of raw material," said a middle-aged wo- man, as she closed a book in which ehe bad been writing, "and I think that the effort to remember everything that is of importance is one of that sort of wastes. For my part I cannot see the sense in taxing one's mem- ory to remember things that might just as well be written down, and are there ready and waiting on demand. I am led to thie sermouette by the fact that I have just had a call from a friend who prides herself on her excellent memory, She declares that she halm% the slightest need of memoranda when she gots shopping, and, as a matter of fact, never forgets any thing that she really wants to buy. Of course, it's all very well for people Who have no great responsibili- ties, but, as I said before, I think there are _more profitable ways in whieh one ean use up one s vitality. Now, this same lady just gave me a couple of recipes. She laughing- ly told me that I must not write thern clown, but must remember them% adding that she hadn't the slightest use for a book of recipes. " Now, I am free to confess that I have. I not only write down recipes, bat a thou- sand and one things that I would like to have at hand, and which I fear I may, not remember with accuracy. I have a great many things to look after, and i find that eometimes I can't recall things in just the shape I would like, so long ago adopted the plan of keeping a book of facts and ideas as well as recipes and important informa- tion for the household. It leaves my mind free for other things. It seems to me, as far as I nen discover that one's mentality is a sort of pack -horse. It will bear an enor- mous load without rebelling, but there is a limit, and, the first thing we know, we find that that limit is reached. I believe that if people would make a Practice of forgetting many things, or at least making notes of various facts in order -to save themselves the trouble of remembering them, they would live longer and die more peaceful deaths. There is no consideration shown to the av- erage mind. H we treated our bodies in the same way we would be called insane or cranks. &Appose we set out to make pur- chases, and for one day should attempt to carry home the miscellaneous things we might require, we should probably fail al- together, and the experiment would no doubt be such that we would never care to repeat it. Of course, it is somewhat differ- ent with the mind ; but, nevertheless, I be- lieve that we daily overtax ourselves by try- ing to carry burdens and burdens of thought. I always keep a book by me, and, if I hap- pen to come across an extraordinarily beau- tiful thought when. -reading, I make a note of the subject, and write down the name of the book and the author.
