THE oPEN-HEARrH DEPARTMENT.
This consists ~ two six-ton Siemcn-M Martin or
open-hearth stcel-melting furnaces. They are
OF tho latest and most approved form and the
works In this country. They utilize the scraps
uf tho forge and the rail mills. The scraps are
dissolved IN a bath Of melteu pig iron, and tho
carbon Is burnt on by the oxygen Of an iron ore
instead Of 10y the free oxygen ~ the air as In tho
Bessemer process. Decentralization Is effected by
the use Of spiegel esen and ferro-manganese.
From gas made la Siemen's producers these fur
naces obtain the highest degree Of heat used In
metalurgy. Tho product Is about ~ tons Of
steel every "a hours.
A blooming mill is now In process Of erection.
II has I-inch roll train said to be tho largest
in the world for rolling ingots into rail blooms,
instead Of hammering them. The ny-wheel u

50-inch stroke. This mill will roll 4-rail lngots.
heating furnaces. The blooming mill will be
put in operation in the course Of two or three
| months. but the company will continue to make
hammered rails for parties who prefer them.
rROG AND SWITCH DEPARTMENT.
In this department are manufactured the
| Billings spring frog and crossing. the Atkinson
stif frog and crossing. and the Iorenz safety
switch. Other frogs, switches, and crossings are
made here also, but these are the favOritcs
| among railroad men. They are made Of the best

month, and It Is believed that this branch of the
| Baldwin works Will soon have tn enlarge Its
| facilities in order to meet the demands upon 1t.
| Two orders for s'N.lrn worth Of frogs each have
been received in the last two weeks, and will he

houses, "A store. and church edince. The works
were commenced in ls5, and have been in opera

product within two years and will turn out
about 45,nD tons Of finished rails this year
| The maximum price Of rail, last year was $50
per ton; this year. Sii, about the price of iron

ment OF various cases than we could pos
sibly learn from reading all the books
ever published on the science" And
sure nough, off went preceptor and pupil
in the daily round OF professional visits.
The first home they entered WAS one
where man in convalescent state was
lounging upon bed, whilst his nurse
was comfortably seated In a rocking chair
reading a novel for his amusement. The
doctor approached the bed, and after feel
ing the pulse of his patient, turned TO the
nurse and said: {" He has been eating
oysters! Why did you let him have
them ~
The nurse declared most positively that
he had not; but being more closely inter
rOgateu, salu nc only ate t"o vi ulee'
After leaving the house, the student
asked how in the world he could tell that
it was oysters he had eateng
z "Why, / saw the shells under the bed ~
was the reply. ....
The doctor being very busy the next
day, sent the student alone 10 The patient,
and upon his return asked him how he
was.
He is much worse" said the young
disciple. II think he will die. He has
eaten horse"
"A horsel'' vociferated the physician.
" Yes, sir; horse!"

" He's a Brick"

If 1t is a slang, il is really classical
slang. And yet of the thousands who use
the term, how few-how very few-know
its origin or its primitive significance.
Truly. il is heroic thing TO say of man
to call him brick. The word SO used,
if not twisted from its original intent,
implies all that is brave, patriotic and
loyal.
Plutarch, in his life of Agesilaus, King
of Sparta, gives us the origin of the quaint
and familiar expression.
On certain occasion an ambassador
from Epirus, on a diplomatic mission,
was shown by the King over his capital
The ambassador knew of the monarch's
fame-knew that though only nominally
King of Sparta, he was yet ruler of Greece,
and he had locked to see massive walls
rearing aloft their embattled towers for the
defense of the town; but he found nothing
of the kind. He marveled much at this,
and spoke of it to the King.
Sire" he said, have visited most
OF the principal towns, and find no walls
reared for defense. Why is thisg''
{" Indeed, Sir Ambassador" replied
Agesilaus, g thou cs.nst not have looked
carefully Come with me tomorrow
morning, and will show you the wal 5
of Sparta"
Accordingly, on the following morning,
the King led his guest out upon the plains,
where his army was drawn up in full bat
tie array, and pointing proudly TO the
serried hosts, he said;
There, thou behsldest the walls Of
Sparta-ten thousand men, and eUery man
q brick Mount joy Herald.

Majesty for the last timer roared the

Majesty for the last timer' roared the
Duke.
The Emperor humbled himself by COM
plying with the Dukes demand. The
letter was written, and Leopold pocketed
Ii with profound bow. Then he I'M
locked Inc door and hurriedly left the lin
perial Palace. The Emperor was over
come with shame and rage.
But what was he to do. The best policy
for him to adopt was that of silence.
So Leopold Of Anhah was permitted to
leave Vienna without let or hinderance.
Upon his return to Desssu, Anna Liza
was solemnly proclaimed Princess Of
the German Empire. She lived happily
with her eccentric husband, to whom she
bore large family OF children.
The peculiar manner in which he had
obtained the Emperor's consent To her ele-
walton to the Ducal dignity, did not be-
come known until after Leopold's death.
The Emperor had died already in 1705,
and there is some reason 10 believe that
the shock he had received at that memoir
able interview, was the first nail to his
coffin.

A Beautiful Experiment.

A French horiiculturist, in studying
the physiology of the vegetable kingdom,
conceived that the smallnrss ot certain
plants It the violet, for example was
owing TO an atmospheric pressure 500
great for its delicate organs. Having
carefully resolved this idea mo t0rh, he
determined 10 lest the coIrec'He4s o. 1t by
some satisfactory experiment. After Il
a little calculation, lac nj lat lit utol the
possible and probably only means By
which he might iilu .trate his new theory.
He prepared small balloon OF as u sht
