The Gotha Court Calendar makes its
appearance for the new year with its
customary details about the reigning and
orincely houses of the world and the DO
litical and statistical information which
make it an almost indispensable book Of
reference. This years issue is embel-
lished with four beautifully executed
steel engravings-the first representing
the famous Berlin photograph, entitled
1.-The Four Kaisers," namely Kaiser
William, his son, grandson and great
grandson; the second, King Milan, of
Servia, the third, the Queen of Servia;
and the fourth. President Arthur. The
portraits of all are remarkably well
done. being speaking likenesses in every
case. Kaiser William still heads the list
of sovereigns arranged according to age,
being nearly eighty-six, while Dom
Pedro III. of Brazil has been longest on
the throne, for he commenced very
young-six years old-and Kaiser Viii
liam had reached his sixty-third year
before he was crowned King of Prussia.
Queen Victoria is past sixty-three and is
third on the list according to the date OF
reign commencement, the Duke of
Brunswick being second. The following
list includes all the crowned heads Of
Europe. with their ages and the date
when they began to reign:

First in Importance for the making cf
good cutlery is, of course, the steel for
che blade. Next comes the material
that forms the handle, which it is the
principal purpose of this dispatch To
consider. The substances thus used ara
various and the whole world is laid UNI
der contribution to supply them. Thew
consist of ivory, pearl and tortoise shell,
stag, buck, buffalo and all other kinds of
horn, bone. foreign woods and various
patent substances known by the names
xylonite, parksite, ebonite, etc. The
cutting OF these various materials into
sizes and shapes suitable for use by the
cutler is very large business by itself,
and with the purchase of the material re-
quires a large outlay of capital. For
instance, one dealer in Sheffield tells me
that his firm had on their premises at
one time ivory to the value of S4OO, 900.
No such stocks are kept at the present
time. The business of furnishing the
material for handles is known by the
general term of seale-cutting, the word
scales being used to denote the pieces,
OF Whatever material, that 90 from the
handle i'm all kinds Of pocket-knives and
in the cheaper grades of table cutlery.
The business embraces also the cutting
of solid handles from ivory, pearl, shell
and other material for the best kinds of
table cutlery. Some cutters purchase
the material and cut their own scales,
but it is usual to purchase of those wht
make this separate business. Of al
materials ivory holds'the first rank. The
sources of supply Of this increasingly
valuable material ana. Egypt, the East,
West and South coasts of Africa, and the
British East Indies. The following table
will show the quantities imported into
Great Britain during the year 1880, and

Protection for the Hands.

It is exceedingly disasreeable to have
the hands rough. swollen and sore, es-
pscially If one wishes to write or sew:
yet l never could wear gloves success

kouse-keepcrs do. Even when doing
cold, rough work in which mittens or
gloves seem indispensable, often find
myself casting them impatiently aside
as murmur to myself the time-worn
proverb about a cat in gloves. They
seem clumsy and in the way. Neither

dish mop so Landed by an occasional
pen. 1t may possibly be owing to the
force of long-continued habit that l
can not wash my dishes satisfactorily

There are few tasks in which find
mittens or gloves veritable necessity,

used, seldom showing any admixture

ana porous structure, which the original
makers have in part overcome by the
use OF an outside film of slip CLAW. In
