Four Winds and the Human Character.
AsEAr BIT OF A BACKLOG STUDY.


A ANEAT BIT OF A BACKLOG STUDY.
Here is something clever from Warmers
Backlog Studies," in the forthcoming
number of Scri6ner's:
Perhaps the influence of the four great
winds on character is only fancied one; but
it is evident on temperament, which is not
altogether a matter of temperature, although
the good old deacon used to say, in his hum
BILE, simple way, that his third wife was very
good woman, but her Temperature was very
different from that of the other two." The
North wind is full of courage, and puts the
ably would into a woman too if there were
series of resolutions passed to that effect. The
West wind is hopeful; it has promise and adj
venture in it, and is, except to Atlantic voy-
ayers American bound, the best wind that
ever blew. The East wind is peevishness; it
is mental rheumatism and grumbling, and
curls one up in the chimney corner like cat.
And if the chimney ever smokes, it smokes
when the wind sits in that qnarter The
South wind is full of longing and unrest, of
effeminate suggestions, Of luxurious ease, and
perhaps we might say of modern poetry-at
air. I am not sure but the South is the
most powerful of the winds, because of its
sweet persuasiveness. Nothing so stirs the
blood in Spring, when it comes up out Of the
tropical latitude; it makes men ''longen to
gon on pilgrimages."
did intend to insert here little poem las
it is quite proper to do in an essay on the
South wind, composed by the Young Lady
Staying With Us, beginning
Out Of drifting Southern cloud
My soul heard the night-bird cry
but it never got any further than this. The
Young Lady said it was exceedingly difficult
to write the next two lines, because not only
rhyme but meaning, had to be procured.
And this is true anybody can write first lines
and that is probably the reason we have so
many poems which seem to have been begun
in lust this way, that is, with South-wind-
longing without any thought In it, and it is
yery fortunate when there is not wind
enough Ito finish them. This emotional
poem, if may so call it, was begun after
Herbert went away. liked it and thought
it was what is called "suggestive;" although
did not understand it, especially what the
night-bird was; and am afraid hurt the
Young Lady's feelings by asking her if she
meant Herbert by the ''night-bird" "a very
| absurd suggestion about two unsentimental
people, She said, ''Nonsense;'' but she af-
| forwards told the Mistress that there were
emotions that one could never put into words
without the danger of being ridiculous a pro
found truth. And yet should not like tC
say that there is not tender lonesomeness

How Knives and Forks are Made.

New Britain, Conn.,, has cutlery manu-
factory. In the Hartford Cosrant we find
a very interesting description oft, from which
we take the following
The pricipal thing manufactured is table
cutlery. The visitor is firss taken to the
store-room, where he sees piles of oxen's
shin-bones, brought hther from the slaugh-
ter-houses of New York. They are first soak
ed and boiled, and then sawed out and shap-
ed by series of ingenious machines, going
at last to the riveting-room, where they are
fastened to the blade of the knife or the
shanks of the fork.
In the store-room, too, lie piles Of cocoa,
ebony and rosewood, brought from the region
of the Equator. The hard and beautiful
woods are manipulated very much in the
same way as the bones, and are sawed out by
similar machines. The blades of the knives,
and the steel portion of the forks, first assume
shape in the blacksmith shop, an immense
room containing forges, eight or nine trip
hammers, and two rows OF drops, each 100
feet long. s
After these huge instruments have given to
blades and forks their rough forms, they are
sent to the punching-room, where the holes
for the rivets are made. They then go to
the hardening or tempering room, which con-
tains three furnaces, in which fierce heat is
c instantly maintained. There are the tenn
pering, annealing and case-hardening furna-
ces. The process here are very delicate, the
blades being dipped in oil before they are
placed in the annealing furnace, and great
skill being required to keep the furnace al
ways at the proper degree of heat.
This anneallnU iS aS is well known n most
important operation. Without it our knives
aud forks would soon bend and break, and
become useless. From this room the blades
next go to the grinding-room, in where are
twenty-eight grindstones, with room for a
dozen more. Here the edge is given to the
blade, and the sharp points to the fork. The
grinding-room presents curious sight In
front of the rapidly whirling stones sit men,
many of them wearing goggles to keep the
fine particles which fly off in the process of
grinding from entering their eyes, As they
apply the steel blades to the stones, flashes
| of fire, the result of the friction, are evolved
The occupation OF a knife or fork grinder is
not generally considered healthy one, the
air of the room being filled with fine dust,
which the grinders are obliged to inhale, and
which seriously affects the throat. The
stones, too, sometimes burst, in consequence
of their revolution, the fragments flying off
with great violence in every direction. From
the grinding-room the blades are transferred
to the shafting- room, where they are Joined
to the handles of bone or wood before men,
toned. Here clever piece of machinery
turns out the rivets with immense rapidity
and with them the bolster or shoulder is fas-
tened to the handle; these holsters are of
nickel, and are patented by one of the firm.
The knives, being Joined to their handles,
are now taken to the polishing and finishing
room, where they are polished on wheels Of
cotton cloth or felt.

WHAT THE PRoMPTER TOLD HM."-A

The prompter, however, was equal to the oc-
