Some Curious Facts About Tools.

Every mechanic knows that oil
tools. which have been lail aside or
lost for long time, seemed to hayo
acquired additional excellence Of
quality. Razors which have lost
their keenness and their temper, re-
cover like mankind, when given them
time to recuperate. A spring rcgains
it's tension when allowed to rest. -
Farmers leave their scythos exposed
TO the weather, sometimes from ono
season to another, and find their
quality improved by it Boiler
makers frequently search old boilers
carefully, when reopened for repairs
after a long period Of service, to find
any tools that may have been left in
them when last repaired. and il any
are found they are almost invariably
OF unusually fine quality. The
writer, when boy in the shop, fire.
quently, if denied the Use of their
tools by the workmen, looked about
the scrap shop, aud under tho win
dow, for tools purposcly or cares

when one was found badly rusted by
long exposure, it proved to be OF tho
