Selling One Another rs Slaves.

When we were passing through
Fiheringa. a town on the Fiherenana
River, a party of thirty men belonging
to Bara tribe came down from the in.
terror with cattle to trade with the
people of Fiheringa. The cattle were
disposed of without any difficulty, and
the Baras were told that it was a pity
they had not brought any slaves down
with them, as the people of Fiheringa
were sadly in need of more slaves. Ii
was also limited tat very high prices
would have been paid. Some of the
Baras, upon hearing this, Immediately
put their heads together, and a con-
spiracy was formed among twenty OF
their number These twenty. watching
their opportunity. overpowered the
other ten, and alter robbing them sold
them for slaves. This business worked
so we'll that another conspiracy was
soon organized among twelve to sell
the. other eight. In this the majority
also succeeded. These twelve then
started for their native village, but,
understand, reduced their number to
six before they had proceeded very far.
The above is only one of the strange
proceedings which are constantly taking
place in this land of robbers and muir.

q horizontal and lateral motion, by
which the file blanks are ground per-
fectly smooth and true. The average
life of these grind-stones is about three
weeks. For the larger round and half
round files it is necessary to grind by
hand.
But these are only the preliminaries
to the file making. Having been
ground, the next step is cutting the
teeth. This is done by improved and
ingenious machinery, which works with
marvellous celebrity. The file blanks are
placed under the cutter, and with sur
prising rapidity, tooth after tooth is cut
into the blank. The edges of the blanks
are cut first. A few minutes suffices to
finish the edges, and that operation of
cutting teeth is repeated until edges and
both sides of the fiat blanks and the
three sides of the three square blanks
are toothed.
The chisels used in cutting the teeth
in the file blanks having to be sharp
ened freely. grindstones and laps are
used for this purpose. The dulled CHS
els are first taken and ground; after
they have been ground they are placed
on the laps ION which fine emery and
oil are used) and are given fine edge.
After the cutting of the teeth has
been finished, the files are forwarded to
an examining-room, where they are
carefully inspected to see that the file
blanks have been properly cut. The
files are then passed to room on the
ground floor to be hardened-av very in
teresting process. 1t this room are sew
eral iron pots, containing lead, sur
rounded by a furnace and kept hot, so
as to melt the lead. The files are first
coated with a preparation to prevent
scaling; next they are placed in the
leaden bath, and, lastly, after they are
sufficiently heated they are plunged
into large watts of water, the process
making them very hard.
The files are then secured, next
washed in lime water, dried, and. last
of all, the tangs, or handles, are placed
in q leaden bath, covering only the
tangs, to soften or withdraw the tenn
per. Then the files are oiled and again
secured, for the purpose of cleans
ing them of any extraneous mat
ter, after which they are taken to the
second story, where each file is care
fully examined and tested with tenn
pered piece of steel. and any found with
the highest imperfection are condemned
and thrown aside.-Midland Industrial

e File Making.

The bar or rod of steel is first placed
in the shearing machine. This machine
is arranged with straloh cogwheel
catching into cogbar. which in turn
moves an eccentric in the plunger con-
nected with the knife, and gives the
steel powerful, smooth cut. In this
shearing machine steel of one and half
inches width and .three-eighth inch
thickness is cut rs smoothly as if it were
thin piece of tin. For heavier steel a
machine is used that will cut a half
inch thickness of steel, two and a half
inches wide.
The steel having been cut to the req
uisite lengths, passes to the forging
room. In that room there are fourteen
coke fires. Alongside of these the
workmen sit before steam-driven ham
ners, lifting the red hot pieces of steel
out of the fire and placing them under
the hammers, the tables of which are
arranged with two surfaces-one upon
which the steel in hammered out flat
along its whole length, and another
surface slightly depressed. on which the
ends or tangs of the file blank are ham,
mered to the pointed shape, which
everybody remembers as, time out of
mind, the proper shape for file
handle. For the smaller files (saw
files) the hammer tables are grooved,
and in these grooves the ends of the
file blanks are placed, and in moment
are hammered to the proper shape. 1t

the men to notice that the workman IS
he reached to take a heated piece of
steel out of the fire, unfailingly put
fresh one in to be heated. 1t was the
old-tashioned way, before the intro
duction of machinery, to have forger
and striker for large files. but the accu-
racy OF machinery, and its rapidity in
working, have made that method of
making files an obsolete thing.
From the forging department the file
blanks as they are called, until the
teeth are cut in them, are passed to the
annealing room. Hence, in a furnace
are packed many dozens-equaling a
ton in weight-of file blanks of every
shape, and the furnace is heated until it
has been brought to a red heat. At
that heat it is allowed to remain for an
hour. Then the furnace drafts are all
closed up, and made as alright as pos
sible; and, on an average, in three days
time. the heated blanks have cooled
sufficiently for further handling.
The fire has sOftened them for the
further processes of the manufacture.
and after they have been hammered
straight the file blanks are turned over
to the grinding-room workmem. There
they are placed in q frame--iu various

An Egyptian Breakfast.

We went to breakfast with the Prin.
cess Mansour, the Khedive's sister. The
meal was of most elaborate descrip-
ton, consisting of many courses, and
partaking more of the character of a
dinner than of a breakfast, or rather
dejeuner. The dining-room was luxu-
riously furnished. In the center was 3
large circular velvet carpet, embrOid-
cred with gold, on which stood an &C.
tangular table, covered with an en-
broidered velvet cloth, on which the
breakfast service, including napkins
worked with gold thread, was arranged
in the European fashion, vacant space
being left in the middle for the silver
plateaux containing the successive
courses. As atfording some idea of the
resources of Cairene culinary art, it
may, perhaps, be mentioned that we
were offered in the following order:
soup. roast turkey, calves head stuffed
with force-meat. pillau of rice and rails.
ins, macaroni cheese, kabobs of mutton
on skewers, asparagus d Phuile, pam
cakes, cream rice tart, pastry and Jam,
milk of almonds in a bowl, with pista-
chic nuts, eaten with tortoise-shell
spoons, and cheese, followed by desert,
with ices and little cakes. and ending
with coffee, which was served in another
room. On the table itself were several
varieties of hors d'gurre, such as an
chovies, olives, potted meats. a sort Of
! liter white sauce. and clotted cream.
Champagne and other wines were hand
ed round. The party consisted of eight
persons, and the entire meal was served
within forty minutes-remarkably quick
work, considering the length of the
menu. Each guest was provided with
beautifully embroidered Turkish tow
Ell. and water was brought to US in large
silver basins after dinner to wash
our hands in.-Lady BraSsey, in Good
