A bronzed workman, whose bared aim swung a hammer witiarythmic beat upott evil, stood m. in the tem.. of a forge fire in, a building near the Pennsylvania railroad :sta- tion in Jersey City forging an iron chain. perspiration poured down his face and ba4id chest, but he kept eteadily at his work. lie turned ont link after link with remarkable rapidity and dexterity. Half a dozen forge tires were ablaze about him, and other men se big -chested and strong-armed as he were forging also, with their shirts thrown wide open at the throat, their sleeves rolled uigto their elbows, and leather aprons bound around their waist. The boas 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 wok beats the work done by machines, and that sort of thing don't happeu now -a --days you know. In chain -I -asking the human hand is more trustworthy then any machinery yet invented to do its Work. An odd thing about ohain 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 maker at work. Most of them are English, 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 tradoe where they can work their brains more and their vital strength less, and they are right about it." One of the workmen in showing the method of making and 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 inelength to a. white heat, bent it into - the shape of a U with three blows of his hemmer, and slid it back into the fire again, It wars white hct again when he drew it out and thrust it into the eye of the hook and beat the open ends together into the form of a link. That was called "scarfing" the link. The link was heated a third time and: slip- ped over a shank of iron beside the anvil. Then he lowered over the ends of thg link a bar of iron called a swedge, with a hollow- ed end that exaotly fitted over the round surface of the link, beat his hammer upon the awedge, and welded the ends of the link together, making a perfectly emooth and complete link. "Ordinary observers," the forge owner . said, "would not notice the speciai 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 maker possesses, attempt to scarf and weld a link. His efforts would be clumsy and in- effectual, and he would have to give up the job. Chain makers begin as apprentices generally before they are nine years old. In Steffordshire, where most of the chain makers who work in the vicinity of New York come from, boys and girls are set to learn the treed() when they are seven 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 steadily. But the work is, as I have said, so exhausting that few oilskin makers work steadily. Their working hours average about six hours a day, and, considering the character of the work, thet 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 ?" "The beat class of work is the small pul- ley chains;" he replied, and many people are surprised when they are told the fact. Most Mks lookingi at the cable chains made for war and navy yards imagine that they are examples of the best ancl:most difficult work. But, as a matter of fact, they are clamped as the commonest and easiest work. The chin maker, who shapes and ,welds the big links' has two or three helpers to aid him, andthe links, because of their size, retain heat so long that the work of making the links is expedited. 'In the smaller chains the maker has to work witlnincreased speed and dexterity because the links cool rapidly. The linka have to be more per- fectly- welded in the smaller chains. It is in this one prime essential of perfect welding that hand work lays ;away over machine work in thoroughness. Imperfect links are turned out by machines very frequently; but that never happens when they are made by the hand of a workman that knows his business. The best chains in the world are known as Lord Ward chains, and are made on the other side of the water from 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. inn.

There are other forges in Trenton, Philadelphia, Boston and Troy, and that about finishes the list. In Troy a colony of chain linkers makes fair wages, and many of the workmen own their own homes.

Is it 'Eased Upon Rules of Right Reason and Common Sense? The article on "The Art of Dining" which appears in the current number of the Nineteenth Century from the pen of Colonel Kenney -Herbert contains many interesting suggestions. The writer, treats mainly of the formal or elaborate dinner, and finds7 much to condemn in the profuse and osten- tatious style now widely prevailing. He is for simplicity, and lays down as sufficient for all purposes the following menu: A soup, a piece of fish, 'a releve, an entree, a roast bird, an entremet de legume, a sweet entremet, a savory morseland dessert. The important part in this arrangement os the placenf the releve after the ,fish and before the entree. There cau be little doubt ,about that, contrary to current custom; this is the natural order of things. The re - leve is the principal item in the repast and should not be later than third on the list. The dinner begins with soup, because, if wearied by fatigue or long fasting, noth- ing is so quickly absorbed or sonreadily 'excites the digestive powers as a small quantity of . warm meat essence, such as are the best soups. Fish follows, not of necessity, but because it is a light and wholesome article of diet, which from its comparative absence of flavor could not be relished after the more savory meats. At this poiut it is obvious that the princi- pal item of the meal should be served, and the interpolation of a trumpery -entree is (if we carefully interpret our needs), really an t obviously unnatural arrangement. On the other hand,when the appetite has been fair- ly satisfiecl with the substantial releve,thers is much to be said for following it with a delicate and attractive entree. The roast fowl. vegetables, sweets and dessert seem, on the whole, a natural arrangement, which it would beimpossible to improve up- on. THE DECORATIVE MANIA. Colonel eKenney-Herbert condemns in strong terhas the current craze for making things look pretty, "We have become the victims. of a decorative mania. The use of fancy colors, without considetation of their congruity, for the sake of prettiness, to tint the maskings used in savory cook- - ery, is surely preposterous, for how in the natural order of things can a fillet of fish be green or a cutlet of chickeh pmk ? Who can see without pity in the window of some feshionable culinary professor .a noble salmon that never did any one an intention- al injury put in the pillory and exhibited as a peepshow to the passer-by with his hack bristling with prawns like the 'fretful Por- cupine'; crayfish disporting themselves about him, his sides outraged by a grue- some tattooing of. truffles and divers devices in patterns like a Maori masher, and lastly, to complete the atrocity, an impalement, of hideous 'hatchet' skewers? Surely this is as bad as the desecration of 'dead Hector' with the garish bedizenment of a circus clown." Perhaps the most revolutionary point in the article in question is the suggestion that the modern dinner should. be brought, to an end within an hour. For the purPose, of expediting the progress of the dinner the writer suggests that the various component parts of the meal should be served ready helped from the buffet. He also recorre mends the abolition of the service of hheese.

One of the most important features of this device is the direction of the slant.

The device avoids' all those objections and leaves the ledge free to be used, with no track on it to be kept clean, or nothing running over it to knock anything off. • The New Italian Rifle. 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, which, 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 planks 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 the 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. The Usefulness of Honey. A writer in the Horticultural Times ex- preeses surprise that honey is so seldom seen on the tables of the people of this coun- try. "Honey," he says. " is at o ace a valuable medicine and food. Foul air, im- proper ventilation, sudden changes ot weather, the exposure of lungs and throat to a damp atmosphere are the source of no end of throat and bronchial troubles. A free, regular and constant use of honey 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 half the price of that article. Honey is of more service in our cooking than many people imagine. "Honey, may, indeed, replace eugar as au ingredient in the cooking of almost any aitiele of food. In rice puddings the writer invariably uses honey instead of sugar ; the flavor is much more delicious. For presery- g most kinds of fruit, honey is far prefer-, able to sugar, as it has the quality of pre- serving for a long time in a fresh state any- thing that may be laid in it or mixed with it, and preventing its corruption in a far superior manner to sugar. For many medicinal purposes honey is invaluable. To town residents who may be faded and look care worn after the excitement of late hours, when the akin becomes dry, red and harsh 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 town iii Belgium, while a ehurch 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 shoulder& of another, who handed up the pan -of hot coals and the melted lead. When the weather cock was finiehed, the man descended and the on -lookers took breath, but the broad sheeuldered man come down slowly and unsteadily,and on reaching the ground he fell. His shoulders, arms and breitet 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 any start would have sent the other man to his death. Thie hero suffered that another might live. Children Cry for Strychnine for Snake Bite. 'A curious; instance of one poison killing another is reported from Yackandandah, Victoria, where Dr. Mueller has recently administered 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 liypoderinically 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 within a few hours. The two poisons are antagonis- tic. Out of the hundred patients treated this way, seine of wheal were at. the point of death, there was only one failure.

It sometimes happens, curi- ously enough, that it is indelibly fixed on my mind by this process, but all the same, I am relieved of the weight of it; if it stays, well and good, if not, just as well. I think - that the day will come when philosophers and teachers will realize that the mind is nota thing to be overloaded any more than the body, and that to do so is almost as jurioue in the one case as in tire other."— New York Ledger. 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 lamps, with oil at 300° fire test, furnished the most brilliant, safe, and economical light. Cost to equip a car with five Sherburn lamps, $165. Next to this came the compressed gas systemie-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. Lamp Wick Wisdoni. In using the heavier grades of kerosene or refined petroleum oils in lamps, the wick otten becomes charred at the top, which obstructs the capillary action of the wick. When the wick is raised, the charred top obstructs the slot in the flame guard and diminishes the flame. Wicks should be often renewed. The old wicks become hard and partially obstructed in thc tube. A Delicate Question. She loved with the steady fervor of a ma- ture heart that had experienced its joys and its disappointmente, but when the colonel asked the privilege �f a word alone with her in the conservatory her brain reeled and the air grew dark. Even when they were snug- ly seated behind a palm, secure from in- truding eyes,. her -lips were white with ex- citement and her breath mime in short gasps. Nor was the colonel entirely at his ease. ThMe*a`silTh"t—tremor in his voice did not escape her. "1 have—er—a—er." ' There came over her a sickening dread lest the colonel be frightened into receding from his seemingly patent resolution. "Pray proceed, colonel." She spoke with the calmness of desper- ation. "As I was saying—er—er."— The colonel faltered painfully. "1 have a delioate—er—question to—er— propound." She blushed. "It's very sudden. colonel, but in view of our long friendship."— She wasetitonished at her own coolness. —" I cannot but listen to you." The colonel bowed. He was perspiring profusely, and she was terribly afraid he would lose his nerve. "Of course I'll hear you colonel," she murmured encouragingly, The colonel coughed. 9 "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 in the face and smile. "That 1s—how—how—how."---- "Yes. colonel." "How do yon keep your false teeth from falling out. I can't keep mine in my mouth to save my neck." The colonel appeared to be real anxious, and the wont of it was that he obtained very little satisfactory information after all. —Detroit Tribune. If I Only Had Capital.

As she opened her card case she notic- ed only one left, which i she regrettei, hav- ing a second visit to make that morning. She sent it in, however, and shortly follow- ed it. The editor was1 alone, except for a - young clerk at a table pear the door, and they were soon diecussing the article he had written. It did not pleese him; and after considerable talk, rather decided on each side, she arose to withdraw. The young clerk had left the room a moment before, and as Miss Blank passed out it occurred to her quickly that she coeld secure her card which lay on the table near by. With a slight movement she did so, congratulating herself on the happy thought. But ehe did not send the card in at her next stop.

The Penalty. -- Everything on earth has its penalties and its compensations. There is no doubt that a fine Musical education offers its possessor supreme delights of which common • mortals cannot partake. For instance, there is Professor X, who was good enough to take me to a recital of classical music.- He, in common with others—foreign ladies and gent!emen—went into raptures over the per- formance. Some of them actually writhed with joy; The professor told me twenty times : " Zis is vonderfuli! Zis ia a miracle !" "The scene closed with bravos andap- plause that rent the air, and a tableau I shall never forget—the imenensely tall and stout professor embracing the extremely small and thin old gentieman, who was the hero of the hour, -so warmly that for a mo- ment he dieappeered in the Wile of the"aeril- akin coat and appeered to have been swal- lowed whole. After he came out 'alive I believe he was carried in the arms of his admirers to some festive vet where li bations of . wine and Jager were poured out in his honor. Alai ! to inc it was all an unknown ton - tongue. I waited for a melody. I longed for an emotion. It appeared to me that music had gone into the higher mathematics and done with tunes forever. And there the professor had the best of me. But later in the week I had the best of him.' , How I enjoyed listening to my friend, playitig her own accompaniment singing the " Three Fiehers " and the " Clang of the Wooden Shoon " for me. -And when she hod gone, who should appearfrom the door of his study but the profeseor, pale with agita- tion, wiping the dew of agony from his fore- head, and gasping, "Ole, I So suffer! Oh, dat voman ! Vy do deigood angels.permit diet she should dry to sing ?" ie You don't mean that you didn't like it ?" I said. "It is treadful. It giff me a colic in my head," saidthe profeseer. "And you so musical ?" aaid I. " bat is de very reaeon," he replied. There was no affectaVon in the professor's agony. He felt it all, as he had felt joy in that classical music which was incomprehen- sible to me. That is the penalty attached td a fine mnsical taste and education. Too Much Memory. " There.is such a thing as an actual waste of raw material," said a middle-aged wo- man, as she closed a book in which she had 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 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 this sermonette by the fact that I have just had a call from a friend who prides herself on her excellent memory. She declares that she hasn't the slightest need of memoranda when she goes 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 which one can use up one's vitality. Now, this flame lady just gave me a couple of recipes. She laughing- ly told me • that I must not write them down, but Must remember them, adding that she hadn't the alightest use for a book of recipes.

It will bear an enor- mous load without rebelling, but there his a limit, and, the first thing we know, we find that that limit is reached.

Of course, it is somewhat differ- ent.with the mine ; but, nevertheless, I be- lieye that we daily overtax ourselves by try- ing/to carry burdens and burdens of thought.
