A Talk by Bismarck.

ls it not out of all reason that l should
be i'll just now? Botticher is a conva-
descent, Burchard is away, and l must
kept to my bed! We are getting old and
sick, and dare not ask to be u own
masters, and devote ourselves to the cul-
tivation of our garden or the care of our
W affairs. l cannot express how desir-
Gus 1 am to get off for a few days and
rest after the confusion and turmoil of
my everyday life. If I could have my
own way 1 should see no one for a whole
year except my wife, children and grand
children. We ought to live for them by
all my life. Why, the next thing is
that some councillor or other will read
me a report in the morning how the
members Of my family are after the
nights rest, and then there will be so
much time saved again. The Emperor
is brave old man, as we could see in this
last misfortune that has befallen him.
Not one of us all has the nerves of the
august old gentleman. I might say that
as long as work is demanded of him he
has no nerves at all. 1t is our luck that
the Emperor never breaks down, that
Moltke is all right, and Kameke is up to
anything. We civilians are not much
good. Something is the matter with us
always, SO that when w grow old we are
necessarily on the lookout for an oppor-
tunity to get away. The eternal wish
for repose becomes a sort of ailment, and
l for one cannot get rid of all this all
ment, although l have plenty of other
sufierings to grumble over. If my career
had stopped short of a councillor, t should
have left my post long ago. As it is, lam
condemned to spend my days in the
Wilhelmstrasse, the street of all others
that l have hated from my youth. do
not think / shall ever set foot in the
Reichstag again. l see they get ON splen-
didly without me. Why, the Empire
machine is in tirst-rate working order,
and I am SO glad there is no quar-
reling just now. If some inter-
minable dispute were going on, and I
should have to grieve and feel angry
aboutit, 1 do believe it would be all ove
with. My present ailment is older than
most people think. The doctors have
~alwayssaid there was not the leastdanger,
but 0 the pain l suffer sometimes! l as
sure you / could run up a perpendicular
wall when it m on. But it only
comes occasionally; then it suddenly
leaves off and I forget all about it, and
live in the hope that it willnever return.
Just you tell them in the Reichstag to do
all they can to prevent useless discussions.
The Emperor notices everything, and it
is our duty to spare him as much as pos
sible. It is true he is in better health
than any of us, but he is much older
also, and he has deserved to experience
nothing but what make him comfortable
and happy. If the greatest Radicals
looked upon the venerable old man,
they would stop in the middle Of the
most excited rabble. We may consider
him a model in all things Vienna Coz,
London Neus.

For resharpening of file teeth acids
have been employed, and to certain and
limited extent they are valuable. For
TINS process the file must be chemically
cleaned. This is insured by a soluble
alkali, as lye, or an immersion in benzine,
or naPtha, or spirits of turpentine, then .
bath i n clean warm water. The cleansed
lille may be placed point down in a jar of
acid made up of half nitric acid,
half sulphuric acid, and the COM
blned amount of water-that is, as much
water as the quantity of the two acids.
The file, resting toe down, NAV remain in
this solution an hour or more, according
to the depth of the teeth. But a much
simpler method is to wash the cleansed
lille with the pickle at the foundry, and
when it dries off wash it again, repeating
the process several times, and finally
washing off with clear water or with lye
water and clear water.
1t is doubtful, however, that this aid
method ever really sharpens the teeth of
the file. 1t cleans the file chemically
and allows it to do its work better than
when the file is clogged and dirty. The
only real resharpening of files is of a me-
chanical character, and that is a con-
%trivance that shoots sand. and water or
emery and water against the file teeth, at
their back, with the force of a boiler
pressure of steam of from 60 lb. to 80 lib.
per square inch. In this continuance,
which has been in successful use fol
many months in some of our large estab-
lishments, from a tank holding quartz
sand and water, the mixture is drawn up
through flexible tubes and directed
simultaneously against the upper and
lower surfaces Of the file by the force Of
the steam. The steam acts in this case
exactly a. it acts when employed as an
injector of water into boilers-the steam
force lifts the diluted sand bath and
directs it, with its boiler force, against
the teeth of the file as the file is passed
back and forth through the converging
fires of the two tubes.
The result is a great improvement in
the useful life of WORKOUT fles.-SGea-

R%esharpening Files.

The old method Of giving files a second
life was by recutting. So far as this was
confined to files with sufficient body to
sustain the second assault, it may have
proved to be economical. But there are
many files used which are necessarily
thin and not capable of being reduced
from their thinness.
To recut a file, the file must be
ground down to the "plate," the smooth
surface below the "roots'' of the teeth.
All the teeth must be ground out, and
the space below the %"roots" Of the teeth
also, if good afterwork is expected. And
then it is only the thick files with fine
cuts that are Of any value for recruiting
purposes. With a coarse file, as a bas-
tard, or a mill file, the blows of the cut
ter's hammer have disturbed the rela-
tons of particles in the slab of steel 80
seriously that they have almost disinte-
grated the steel before the hardening
process had made the incipient cut of the
chisel noticeable to sight or subject to
fracture. So it does not always "pay' to
%anneal, grind and recut a worn-out file.
But the useful life of the file may be
Perceptibly and economically prolonged
by proper care. Sometimes the teeth Of
new files are broken off before perform
ing useful work by Clearing on" to a file
and attempting to rasp through the foun-
dry skin Of an iron casting. Sometimes
new files are clogged with soft metals.
In either case the trouble has been done
before the file had its chance. The newly
cut teeth of the file should be protected
from abuse. The file tooth is similar to
the razor edge, and has a fringe of
self-supputing fben requiring the
gentlest treatment at the first.
After this "wire-edge" is worn of-not
roughly broken off-the file teeth are
ready for their daily duty. To perform
this they should be kept clean. It is not
alone the finishing files, used with oil
as a lubricant, which get foul with a
curry of oil and file dust; but there are
d!ry-used files which have lodged between
their teeth slices of wrought iron, splin-
tiers of steel, and crumbles of composition
OF brass, of bronze, or of babbit. To re-
move these distractions is n OF the
duties of a filler, and the proper methods
Tor this removal ought to be a part OF
every fler's education or a lesson n his
instruction,
For cleaning a greasy finish file there
Is nothing better than a burning over the
forge fire, in the fame of an alcohol
lamp, or of a gas blaze. The burning
should be done by agentle passage to and
1ro through the flame, until the grease
on the file burns with a blaze. Then the
blaze should be blown out and the file be
carded. When cleaned, dip the file into
alar of lye, and clean in pure water:
For removal of clogged particles a
chlsel of lattened wire is as good as any
thing. This is used by hand, and it,
mechanical effect is simply to drive out

A Moving Bog.

A correspondent of the Dublin Free
mans Journal has visited the scene of
the moving bog at Castlerea. The fol-
lowing is an extract from his description
of the phenomenon: "The good people
of Castlerea appear to have become
thoroughly frightened at the prospect Of
having their town submerged in a bog.
The Town of Castlerea, in whose vicinity
this unusual phenomenon has occurred,
is actually built in the centre of a vast
tract Of bog. Some dozen years ago an
event similar to the present took place, a
large portion of bog being bodily carried
long by the River Suck into the town,
working considerable damage before any
thing could be done to stop it. The
mass of floating matter was on that occa-
sion driven as far as Ballinasloe and a
great many acres of excellent arabic land
were almost completely destroyed. The
first indications Of the present movement
were noticed on Wednesday morning
last by a boy, who, coming out from the
house where he lived upon the Balm
agare road, about two miles outside Cas-
tlerea, was astonished to find the soil in
front Of him moving with great speed.
The motion of the bog appears to have
been intermittent. After having foated
about a couple of miles it stopped, and
then once more moved onward. 1t was
not long before the progress of the dis
lodged bog began om make itself practically
felt. Asmal1 farmers house was covered,
and the family had to effect their escape
through the roof. They took refuge in
q neighbours house half a mile away,
where they have remained since. The
mass of bog which moved in this singular
manner is known in the district as the
Baslick Bog. The rapidity of the move
ment is no doubt due to the action of the
River Suck, which probably has helped
to diAodge the floating mass. The river
flows in a sort of semi-circle round the
town. Up to Saturday this extremely
curious bog motion continued, but when
Saturday night came it appears to have
stopped. The floating matter has COM
pletely covered the road between Cas-
tlerea and Ballinagare, and all traffic
between the two places is suspended
l have seen the place where the road is
blocked up, and am inclined to think
thatthe hight of the bog-matter deposited
thereon is about fifteen feetat an average.
About sixty perches of the Ballinagare
road are blocked up, and 1 believe tits
no exaggeration to say that about 1900
acres are covered by the bog since it
commenced its journey. Large pieces of
bog are carried into the town by the
Suck, whose waters have recently flooded
the country for miles around Castlerea.
I &c not think, however, there is any
reason to apprehend the submersion Of
the town itself, asst is built considerably
above the level of the surrounding
country"

Brown in the Sunshine, Golden in th
Shade.

Red hair is coming into fashion in
England. In other words the demand
for more color in dress is now supplement-
ed by a fashion of a good deal of color
in the tresses of beautiful women. Poets
sentimentalize over the auburn locks of
fair maidens, but psychologists are cruel
enough to point out the fact that the
most civilized races have dark
hair, and that red and auburn tresses
are a sign of a descent from a savage
ancestry. Cold weather and exposure
results in a bleaching of the complexion
and the hair; but when men and women
are we'll clad and we'll warmed, the
tions of the body are so affected as to
darken the hair and beard. When the
time arrives, should it ever come, for
mankind to live under cover, and never
be exposed to the rude blasts of winter,
then will dark hair be universal. In
English society it is said that red
haired girls are asserting themselves, and
are no longer content with the blue gar
ments and adornments which have been
their heritage for SO many generations.
They now affect warm golden browns,
orange-tinted yellows, ruddy cream
colors, terracotta, and the whole range of
such tints as are found in primroses,
b~utternuts, chestnutrbrowns and dull
gold color. One charming red-haired
woman in English society wears a gold
band on her hair, and dresses in gold
colored velvet. So costumed, or in a dress
of chocolate, relieved with amber, or of
a tawny red and gold, she is a striking
picture on the acknowledgements

Hank Monk. the famousstage drive,

Hank Monk, the famous stage driver,
died at Carson, New, a few days ago. He
was one of the most skillful handlers of
the reins in the West in days gone by,
and it was often said of him that when
Horace Greeley went to California, Hank
drove the coach through the worst part
of the road only to tip the veteran editor
over on a nice.decline. Monk was a great
friend of Buffalo Bill and DR.. Carver,
and some time ago the three projected a
grand Indian and buffalo show to be given
in the East. For some reason, however,
the scheme fell through. Monk struck
it rich in the mines, and had been living
a retired life, though he loved to speak
of the days when he drove over the
mountains.

Roman Names.

After a mans first name came the name
of his clan, which always ended in Jus.
The ancient Roman clans seem, like the
Highland clans of to-day, to have been
often designated from the name of a sup
posed ancestor. As the descendants Of
Donald are called Macdonald, so the de-
scendants of Marcus were called arcilus,
those of Quintus Quintius, and those Of
Publius, Manius, Servius, and Lucius
bore the names Of Publilius, Nautilus,
Servilius, and Lucilius. When all the
members of a clan have the same
surname, and the stock of first names
has from any cause become limited, it il
obvious that a good deal of confusion may
arise. The Highlanders obviate this in
convenience by a resort to descriptive
nicknames. Now, just as in the High
lands people might distinguish between
two Fergus M%acdonalds by calling one
Long-beard and the other Curley-head,
Just so in Roman history we read of a
Titus Quintius Barbatus and a Titus
Quintius Cincinnatus. The Romans,
however, went a step further than the
Highlanders have done, for with them
nicknames became hereditary as q
family surname. There were many
Romans who (either from their special
celebrity, or because their nam were
extremely commonly bore, in addition to
the regular set of three names, an indi-
vidual nickname called the agnomen. It
is worth nothing, as a relic of prehistoric
usage, that Roman women had n%oregular
names except those indicating the clan
to which they belonged. The eleven
daughters of a Cornelius were to the
outside world just Cornelia and nothing
else. In the family circle they would,
of course be distinguishedby designations
analogous to our modern pet names; but
on this subject our information is singu-
larly limited. The complexity of the
Roman name system was not easily IN
derstood by Greeks and Jews, and the
Roman names in the New Testament are
c~uriously confused. Sometimes a man
is spoken of by his first name, as Gaius,
Publius, or Marcus; sometimes by his
clan name, rs Julius or Cornelius, and
sometimes by his surname, as Pudens or
Niger. In Simon the Cyrenian we have
a remarkable example Of the mixture of
languages brought about by the Roman
conquests; a native of Africa, bearing a
Hebrew name, calls n of his sons by the
Greek name Alexander, and another by
the Roman surname RufuA-zNe Gentle
