MANUFACTURE OF KNIVES. Few peo-
pie have any idea through what number
OF hands their pocket-knives have passed
in the process of manufacture. A bar OF
steel destined to furnish number of
blades is heated tYredness A length is
cut off and the forger speedily moods"
this-that is, shapes it roughly into the
form of Il pocket-knife blade. Another
heating is then required to fit the end for
being fashioned into the handle, and vet
another before it can undergo the further
operation of ''smithing," the last stage of
which is the stamping of the mark of the
thumb nail to facilitate opening The
tang is then ground and the blade marked
with the name of the firm. The slight
bulge on the reverse side caused by this
operation is removed by fire or the grind
stone. The blade is then hardened by
heating it to redness and then plunging
it into water up to the tang. The tenn
pering process follows next, the BLUSH
yellow tint being considered as indications
that the proper degree Of heat at which
to mmerse the blade once more in cold
water has been attained After this the
various kinds of blades are classified in
the warehouse, and undergo sundry
grinding operations to fit them for being
halted. Twelve distinct processes have
by this time been gone through, and many
more are necessary before the knife is
completely finished, although the number
OF hands which it now has to pass through
depends in great measure on the finish
to be given to the handle, according to
the quantity of the blades with which it
is fitted, and the price which the com
pleted article is intended to realize

A RICH MAN BURIED AS A PaUPER.-The
Ohio Statesman of the 10Th, has an account OF
the proceedings before the Probate Court OF
Franklin county, on an application to admit
to probate the will of Joseph Caldwell.
Joseph Caldwell was an eccentric bachelor.
who owned large amount of real estate in
Franklin and Belmont counties, besides other
property, the whole valued at $3.50. 900 or
more. He was one Of four brothers, one OF
whom, DR.. Caldwell, resides in Illinois. Be-
tween these two there was very close alli-
ance oftrienpship, and the other brothers al.
pear to have paired off in like manner. Two
years ago he received sunstroke, which af.
fected his mind, and application was made
to the Court to appoint guardian for him
but the physicians refused to make the neces-
sary certificates. He afterward went to Mis-.
souri, on business, and thence wandered to
New Orleans, W here he was without means.
1T appears that while in New Orleans he
made efforts to procure funds from Columbus
with which to return home, but from some
unaccountable reason failed
He was arrested in New Orleans as a va.
grant on the 26tb of October, 1870. and taken
before Recorder Houghton, VINO ordered him
tobe sent to hospital. The hospital authori
ties refused to receive him because he waa
deranged, and he was removed to an insane
asylum, where he died on the Cd of Decem
berfollowing. On the 5th of December he
was buried at the expense of the city of New
Orleans.

MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY Cows IN HOLLAND.
Prof. Geo. I'll. Cook, of New Jersey Agri
cultural College, furnishes the Country Gen.
tleman and interesting article concerning
Dutch Diaries. One that he visited was is or
90 miles from Amsterdam, on farm of 2O716
acres, nearly all in meadow and pasture. The
land was at the level of tide water but was
well drained. There were 46 head of cattle
kept, of which 26 were mich cows. The
average yield of each cow during the year
was 1894 quatrs, q daily average of 1916
quarts. This average is remarkably large
and of course much above the general aver
age Of the country. The average yield of
Dutch cows has been given at 2, 1886 to 1910
quarts per year. a.l a'7I|.
Prof. Cook speaks especially of the marve-
lous neatness of the COW stables which are
under the same roof and only separated from
the dwelling house by partition and door.
They are not used in summer, and as soon as
the cattle are turned out to pasture in the
spring the stables are washed out, the floors
either sanded or tiled. During the summer
they are sometimes used for cheese rooms.
During storms in spring or fall the cows are
generally covered with blankets while at
pasture. In winter the stables are frequent
~ thoroughly cleaned and washed, and the
cows are curried regularly.

California, remarkable for wonderful

The Indians believe to be the abiding
place of the evil one, located in the vicin-

tribe. AS described, the country is rugged
and rocky-mountains, with deep valleys
and precipitous cliffs. Snakes and rep
tiles of every description abound in un
told numbers, and, taken in all, is wild

trembles and quakes almost continuously
and the abundant rocks grind and grit

superstitious horror. No theory is adj
vanced to account for the phenomena

In Cincinnati new sort of piano has
been invented and patented during the
present month. The peculiar feature of
the invention is that, instead of strings
stretched across the sounding board
small steel tongues, each with hook, or
arm, on either side, are attached to the
sounding board, and struck by hammers
similar to those of the ordinary 1nstru-
ment, only the tongue aud hammer are
worked perpendicularly. One hook of
each tongue, being half the length of the
other, yields a tone an octave higher ;
thus each stroke of the hammer produces
two notes, an octave apart. The vibra-
ton produced is full as continuous as
that obtained from strings, and the tone
is readily stopped by the application of a
check or damper. 1t is said to be entire
ly practicable to manufacture instruments
OF this pattern much cheaper than the or
binary style.

A CURIOUS INTENTIONAL gentleman
In Philadelphia has invented plan for
cutting, carvlng,or engraving glass or the
hardest stone by means of a Jet of quartz
sand thrown violently against the surface
oy Steam or other power. By this pro-
cess hole has been bored through a
block OF solid corundum-a stone only
exceeded by the diamond in hardness
one and half inch in diameter, and one
and half deep,in twenty-five minutes,b by
the use OF steam as a propelling power, at
pressure Of three hundred pounds to the
square inch. Many sorts of hard SUBJ
stances may be cut and carved into shape
in this manner, as has been illustrated on
grand scale on the Western plains, where
masses Of stone standing like mountains
have been cut into the most grotesque
forms, and their surfaces finely polished,
| by the. action OF sand driven against them
by the force Of the wind. By covering a
glass surface with a stencil or pattern OF
any touch or elastic material, such as
paper, lace, or oil paint, designs of any
kind may be engraved. There is kind o.
cclored glass made by having a thir
stratum of colored glass melted or clash
clear glass. If stencil OF sufhcien
toughness be placed on the colored side
and exposed to the sand blast,th pattern
can be cut through the colored stratum il
from four to twenty minutes recording tt
the thickness. But while an agent 81
effective as to bore hole in block O
corundum is resisted by piece of lace
even such fragile material as green Leaf
sheet steel, stencil plates will curl VI
under the blows of the sand The ex
PLANTATION Of this is, that each graio 0
q sand which strikes, on hard substance
with its sharp angle takes effect, Will
the grains which strike soft, elasti
surface rebound without leaving an i'm
preston. The apparatus is very simple
consisting of common rotary fan, with
tube through which the sand is driven by

The musicians in Massachusetts, want
to give a concert on Sunday evening,
they call it sacred" and then sing or
fiddle what they please. The brass band
of Haverhill gave one of these sacred"
performances last Sunday, with a great
deal of trombone and triangle, much to
the scandal of the soberer sort. An old
manager once explained the way in which
he arranged sacred" programme: ct
take an old glee," said he, "for instance,
