HOW AXES ARE MADE

The materials used in the production
OF axes are iron. steel. coal, boraX. grind
stones emery and glue. Formerly for
eign material exclusively was used. but
now everything is American except the
grindstones and the material of which
the emery is made. Let us follow a
piece of ugh iron through the various
processes until it energies finely polish
ell axe.
First, the iron 23x3 inch is placed be
tween large shears and ,iunked up into
proper lengths. Each piece is called a
pattern. two Of which are worked to2eth-
En- One lies in the furnace heating
while the other is worked by the forger.
The pattern at white heat, is taken to a
trip hammer, furnished with suitable
dies, where the ends are drawn and pia-
ted. so that when brought together the
eye is formed a section in the middle
being left to form the head of the axe
The pattern being drawn is now turned,
50 rs to bring the ends together. a slug
being placed between the ends to give
greater thickness below the eye Of the
axe. When at welding heat the pattern
is taken to a trip hammer and welded
solid below the eye. forming what is
termed the poll. Two men make the
polls in fact, this is the custom all the
way through, each gang performing a
certain part of the work. The poll is
taken to the bi; trimmer, where it is
trimmed in the required form. 1t is now
ready for the steel.
The steel which forms the edge of the
axe comes in bars, and is cut up and pre-
pared by havi ing the edges turned up
The steel is now placed on the poll the
edges coming up on either side. The
steel is we'll supplied with ground borax
without which union of the iron and
steel cannot be bad. After heating, it
goes to another trip hammer, the iron
and steel are firmly welded and the bit
drawn. At this point the material be-
gins to look like an axe. At IT, next
heating the axe is taken to another ham,

the eye down to the steel is Swagged.-
The axe is placed in another furnace,
SO that the head will heat while the Bit

the polishing room, where it is polished
on an emery wheel until it becomes as
bright as mirror. Here the axes are

ed, when perfect axe is made and ready
for packing. Some are not polished but
painted black all over.

Hypocrisy at Public Dinners.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in the Century
Waga-ine. says: :" once attended dim
ner given 10 great State functionary by
functionaries--men OF law. State, and
trade. The guest was great man IN
his own country, and an honored diplo~
matist in this. His health was drunk
with some acknowledgment of distin-
"uished services to both countries, and
followed by nine cold hurrahs. There
was the vicious srperlative. Then the
great official spoke and beat his breast.
and declared that he should remember
this honor to the latest moment of his
existence. lie was answered again by
officials. Pity. thought |. they should
lie so about their keen sensibility to the
nine cold hurrahs aud to the common
place compliment of dinner. Men of
the world value truth in proportion to
their ability, not by its sacredness, but
for its convenience. OF such, especially
of diplomatists, one has a right to eN-
pect wit and ingenuity to avoid the lie,
If they must comply with the form.
Now, l had been present a little before
in the country at a cattle show dinner,
which followed an agricultural discourse
delivered by farmer; the discourse, t"
say the truth, was bad: and one of our
village fathers gave at the dinner this
toast: The orator of the day; his Sub

LINE FENCES AND TREES.

Two persons own lands separated By
a line fence, which is common property
between the two parties. Que has an
apple-tree on his side OF the fence, whose
limbs overhang the fence on the side OF
the other. Apples fall on either side
The question often asked is, do the
apples that fall Oh ones land belong to
one or the other, or both >" This sub
with some contradictory decisions ami
judgments, but the rules are now pretty
well established. If the stem or trunk
of the tree grows SO close to the line that
part of its actual body extend iuto each,
neither can cut it down without the con-
sent of the other, and the fruit is to be
equally divided. If the stem of the
tree stands wholly within the boundary
line of one owner he owns the whole
tree with it's products. although the roots
and branches extend into the property
law that the latter might claim from the
yield Of the tree as much as would be an
offset from the nourishment it derived
from his estate, but this is now obsolete.
The law gives the landowner on whose
soil the tree stands the right TO cut 1t
down at his pleasure ard the right to
pluck all the fruit from it while it stands.
In New York the courts have decided
that trespass for assault and battery
would lie by the owner of the tree
arainst the owner of the land over which
its branches extended if he prevented
the owner of the tree, by personal VIC
lence from reaching over and picking
the fruit growing upon these branches
while standing on the fence dividing the
lands. The owner of the land over
which the branches extend may lop the
branches close to his line. He may also
dig down and cut the roots square with
his line if he so elects. In plain terms II
no portion of the trunk is within his
line he may refuse all trespass OF the
tree on his premises, either above the
ground or below it. But if he gives the
tree license either to extend its roots un-
der his soil or to hang its branches over
his premises he does not thereby gain
any right to its fruits. He cannot pick 1t
for himself nor interfere with the pick
ing of it by the owner as long as the lat
ter remains in the tree OF on the fence
which divides the property. This right
of the fruit does not, however, permit
the other owner to come upon the soil
on the other side of the line to gather
the fruit, and all the fruit which falls
without violence to the ground on that
side may thus become the property OF
it's owner.

he gave commission for the purchase of
five COWS and two bulls of each of the
above mentioned breeds, to be selected
from the finest herdsin Scotland, and also
for score of the celebrated black faced
sheep, which are noted for their mutton

the high character ofthese cattle, Mr.. Hill

The envious detractors of Mr.. Kindred
have made no progress in their desperate
assaults upon his business record The
fact that his fortune was made by his faith
in the future of the great northwest has
become generally known. and neutralizes
the poison of malicious misrepresentation
which has being instilled into the public
and other far-seeing and public-spirited
men, the northwest would not now be the
centre of attraction for the whole country.
In the dark days when this country was
being cried down as colder than Alaska,
and bleaker than the steppes of Asia, and
while some of the most level-headed busi-
ness men were on the point of sacrificing
their Investments and homes, c, F. Kindred
was trying to encourage them to hold on
by buying heavily. In this way he was
stimulated to buy thousands Of acres Of
land within the great wheat belt, paying
therefor in tho deprecated stock of the
:Iorthorn Pacific company, under the pro.
'isions of its charter, as he or any other
person had a right to do.
Then when the advance came with tho
change of management of this great high
way. the market value of these lands went
up with a bound, and, by some judicious
sales in tho interest of developing home
steads, he acquired the ready means which
is only required by man of MIR. Kindred's
caliber in the northwest country, to build
up the fabric of fortune; Colossal in its
dimensions.
These are the secrets of Mr.. Kindred's
success, and the foundation of his fortune.

to assert and maintain his rights and one
