The Associated Press Brought to Terms

New York, May 29.-Some weeks
ago the Western Union Telegraph
Company promulgated a new and
somewhat increased schedule of rates
on the report transmitted to New
York for the New York Associated
Press. The Associated Press was
not satisfied with these rates, and
transferred some of its reports to a
competing telegraph company,
whereupon the Western Union Tele-
graph Company notified the Asso
clated Press that it must pay full
commercial rates. After some con-
ference between the parties the Asso
ciated Press agreed to pay the sched-
ule rates first given, and their reports
will be transmitted at these instead
OF full commercial rates.

The True Wife.

Oftentimes I have seen tall ship
glide by against the tide is if drawn by
some invisible bowline, with a hundred
strong arms pulling it. Her sales were
untitled, her streamers were dropping,
she had neither sidewheel nor stern
wheel; still she moved on stately, in Sc
rene triumph as with her own life.
But knew that on the other side of
the ship, hidden beneath the great bulk
that swan so majestically, there was a
little toilsome steam-tug, with heart of
fire, and arms of iron, that was tugging
it bravely on; and I knew that if the
little steam-tug untwined her arm and
left the ship, it would wallow and roll
about and drift hither and thither, and
go off with the refuent tide, no man
konws whittier. And so have known
more than genius, high-decked, full
freighted, idle-sailed, gay-pennoned,
but that for the bare, toiling arms and
warm, beating heart of the faithful little
wife that nestles close to him, SO that
no wind or wave could part them, would
have gone down with the stream, and
have been heard of no MORE OliUe7'

yeiyets are manufactured in the United
states, but the production of figured
dress silks, grenadines. satins and the
like, is large and growing; American
Innings have high reputation, and the
American ingenuity has proved equal
to the task of producing a satisfactory
and lasting silk for umbrellas. Silk
haadkerchiefs have come into vogue
during the last eight years, aud especi.
ally since the Centennial Exhibition.
The manufacture Of ribbons began in
1861 AZ an experiment, there being a
demand for particular shades which, it
was thought, could be more speedily
met by making than by importing.
Now, the business has grown to great
proportions. Curiously enough, nearly
all the designs for American ribbons

The ''POOr Girls"

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of them.
They have been Taught to dispise labor
and depend upon others for living
and are perfectly helpless. If misfor-
tune comes upon their friends, as it Of
ten does, their case is hopeless. The
most forlorn women on earth belongs
to this class. It belongs to parents to
protect their daughters from this de-
plorable condition. They do them a
great wrong if they neglect it. Every
daughter ought to be taught to earu
her own living. The rich as well as e
poor require this training. The wheel
of fortune rolls swiftly round-the rich
are very likely to become poor, ana
the poor rich. Skill to labor is no dis
advantage to the rich, and indispensa-
bic to the poor. Well-to-do parents
must educate the children to work. No
reform is more imperative than this.

American Silk.

munityis that of producing silk for the
home manufacture. There is no diff

coons. The manufacture of silk thread,
Mr.. Wyckof, tells us, thought has now
outgrown foreign competition, was a
long time "in the wilderness" Amer
lean housewives had prejudice in IA
vor of Italian sewing silk, and Massa-
chusetts manufacturers had to humor
them by affecting foreign packages and
wrappers, and commanding italian"
trade names. The sewing machine has
completely revolutionized the business
and brought about the invention OF ma
chine twist. American sewing silk has
an extremely high standard of purity,
q fact which has naturally helped to
drive out English goods, which, by the
addition of dye, are made to yield from
eighteen to twenty-five ounces for each
pound OF raw SILK.
Thousands of cords of white birch
from Maine are annually converted into
spools, and many English makers come
to the United States for these little ar
ticles, which an ingenious machine CEN

one hundred a minute. The cabinets

Oliye.TreeS.

The olive islargely cultivated in the
Balearic Islands of the Mediterranean.
The olea-tree, upon which the fruit is
grown, originally appears wild in the
mountain-land as shrub producing a
fruit which bears no oil. When brought
under cultivation grating is practiced.
The ancient historians of Majorca re-
count that in olden times the olive
was unknown to the Balearic Islands,
and that the art of grating was taught
to the islanders by the Carthagenians.
By the appearance, however, of some of
the enormous and ancient.looking olive
trees to be seen now in Majorca, one
would be tempted to believe that their
existence dates as far back as the pc.
Rod to which the historian refers.
An intelligent Majoric farmer, being
asked how old he thought some of these
trees were, replied:
81 believe they may well date from
the time of the flood"
It is remarkable feature in the
growth of these magnificent trees that
one never sees two alike. Almost all,
in the conrse of time, assume most gro
tesqne forms and upon old trees whose
trunks are rent open and torn into half
dozen shreds is often to be seen the
finest crop of fruit, while in Majorka
they have in some places attained pro-
portions akin to those of the forest trees
of the tropics.

The Wrong Man.

Z. W. Harleman. of Cincinnati, for
the past twenty-five years Car inspect
or for the Erie Railroad, now of the
Erie and Wabash line, was in the city
recently, and says in all his travels from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
lakes to the gulf he was never picked
up for sucker until yesterday morn
ing. Being stranger in the city, he
was walking about, admiring the wide
and dusty streets and fine business
blocks, and when near the City Hall
was accosted by a young man with the
salutation, "Mr. johnson, how do you
do?" at the same time rushing up and
extending hand for shake.
"You have made mistake" said Mr..
Harleman, my name is not Johnson"
"What amt you James Johnson, of
Chicagop"
"No, sir; my name is Harleman, and
I am from Dayton, o." responded the
railroader.
The fellow apologized most profusely,
adding that Mr.. Harleman was the dead
image of James johnson, of Chicago,
and walked off.
"a few moments LATER" narrates Mr..
Harleman, another man came up and
extended his hand saying, 'Ah, Mr..
Harleman, am glad to have met you.
I used to know you in Dayton O., but I
presume you have forgotten me. My
father is Smith, the dry-goods mer'
chant"
"Of course I tumbled to the racket,
then, but I said, so you are young
Smith, are you? What are you doing
up here?"
"Came on an excursion to see the
town." responded Smith.
"By what road did you Gomez"
queried Harleman.
"By the Grand Trunk"
"Well, young man." said Harleman,
"before you go any further with the
confidence business you ought to post
yourself on railroads. The Grand
Trunk doesn't run to Dayton, as any
ten-year- boy can tell you. Then
learn to distinguish between a real
greenhorn and one who may possibly
look like one."
"And," added Harleman, "you ought
to have seen that fellows face as he
scooted ?"-DetrO5t Free Press.

How Axes are Made.

The materials used in the production
~ axes are iron, steel, coal, borax,
s,;ndstones, emery and glue. Form.
srlv foreign material exclusively was
rsed, but now everything is American
sScept the grindstones and the mate
rial Of which the emery is made. Let
Ms follow a piece OF rough iron through
the various processes until il energies n
fnely-polished axe.
First, bar iron two and three quarters
nv three. quarters of an inch is placed
bstween large shears and junked up
into proper lengths. Each pieceis called
a pattern, two of which are worked
together. One lies in the furnace heat.
inc while the other is worked by the
forger. The pattern, at white heat, is
taken to trip hammer, furnished with
mstable dies, where the ends are drawn
and placed, so that when brought to
gether the eye is formed, section in
the middle being left to form the head
of the axe. The pattern being drawn
is now turned, 30 as to bring the ends
together. slug being placed between
the ends to give greater thickness be-
low the eye of the axe. When at weld
inc heat the pattern is taken to trip
hammer and welded solid below the
eve, forming what is termed the poll.
Two man make the polls; in fact, this
is the custom all the way through, each
gang performing certain part of the
work. The poll is taken to the bitt
trimmer, where it is trimmed to the re-
auered foril. 1t is now ready for the
steel.
The steel which forms the edge of
the axe comes in bars, and is cut up
and prepared by having the edges
turned up. The steel is now placed on
to the poll, the edges coming up on
eigher side. The steel is we'll supplied
with ground borax, without which
union of the iron and steel cannot be
had. After heating it goes to another
trip hammer, the iron and steel are
firmly welded and the bitt drawn. At
this point the material begins to look
like an axe. At the next heating the
axe is taken to another hammer, where
the steel is condensed and refined in the
most thorough manner; then to another
hammer, where the iron from the eye
down to the steel is swaged. The axe
is placed in another furnace, so that
the head will heat while the bitt re-
mains comparatively cool. When hot
the head is squared under another ham
mer, the eye perfected, and the axe
finally Strengthened. We now have a
perfect axe in the rough.
The next operation is the tempering.
The axes are slowly and evenly heated,
when they are plunged into brine,
which makes them as hard and brittle
as glass. Again they are placed over a
fire until the temper is reduced to the
required point, which is known by the
color of the metal, and again submerged
in water. The next process is the
grinding, which is done in two large
revolving stones, half tons. A stone
of the latter size is used up in twelve
days. All the imperfections are ground
out, the axe turned and edged. Next
it goes to the polishing room, where it
is polished on an emery wheel until it
becomes as bright as mirror. Here
the axes are weighed, stamped, bronzed
or plated, when a perfect axe is made
and ready for packing.
