BLACKSMITHs' HAMMER SIGNALS

When the blacksmith gives the anvil
quick, light blows it is a signal to the
helper to use the sledge or to strike
quickeE.
The force of the blows given by the
blacksmiths hammer indicates the force
OF blow It i required to give the sledge.
The blacksnith's helper is supposed
to strike the work in the middle of the
width of the anvil, and when this re-
quires to be varied the blacksmith indi-
Gates where the sledge blows are to fall
by touching the required spot with his
hand-hammer
II the sledge is required to have q
lateral motion while descending. the
blacksmith indicates the same to the
helper by delivering hand-hammer blows
in which the hand-hammer moves in the
direction required for the sledge to
move.
If the blacksmith delivers heavy
blow upon the work and an intermediate
light blow on the anvil it denotes that
heavy sledge blows are required.
If there are two or more helpers the
blacksmith strikes a blow between each
helpers sledge-hammer blow, the object
being to merely denote where the sledge
blows are to fall.
When the blacksmith desires the
sledge blows to cease he let's the hand
hammer head fall upon the qnyil and
continues its rebound upon the same
until it ceases.
Thus the movements of the hand
hammer constitutes signals to tho helper,
and what appear desuItory blows to the
common observer constitute the method
OF communication between the black
smith and his helper

hornets Hornets, az you may know,
build their nests out Of a material not,
unlike paper, which is nodded into
concentric layers. The nests often at
tain the size Of q man head, and are
occupied by about 2 90 hornets. One
day a. swarm of bees took u flight from
q beehive Of my sfather.s, and made
it's way through D peach orchard for
q piece Of underbrush out 200 yards
from the hive. We pursued with tin
pans, and ought the fleeing bees to a
stop. They alightedS on an apparently.
deserted nest Of hornets III took
about two seconds for the 200 horneta
to conls out 81 their den and attack
the invaders. The battle WAS hot and
furious. The air was filed with q PRO.

;Uxbr;d ge, Mass Is perplexeds BY a
mystery of q very aggrayating nature.
There 10 no tragedy or scandal of any
kind involved in the matter, and fol
that reason the gossips can find abso.
lutely nothing to base an extended
conversation upon. It concerns only
one man directly, though another one
seems to have some connection with It.
Not being amurder, a scandal, mys.
FERROUS disappearance, or anything Of
that sort, it might be thought that il
would be easy of solution; but it isn't.
How did Levi Wilson get rich? is the
question which promises to agitate the
people in Chat section for generations
to come. ,JS}tsti1l sit-f:t
Wilson began life as as.stable boys
In 1873 he W as at work in % factory at
North tUxbridgeF atz$l.7 70 a. day, and Up
ito that time he had never had hun
dred dollars at one time in his life.
Then he disappeared and nothing was
seen of him for two years. In 1875 he
returned to Uxbr:d ge wearing fine
clothes and carrying large sums OF
money ID his pockets: He opened a
bank account bought lands. built
houses, married, purchased q hotel
and fitted it up at d great expense,
went to Europe, Travelled through
America, drove fast horses, and, in
short, became the Capitalist of the
place. His money came to him in in
stallments Of $50, 600, and after a little
it was noticed by his bankers that
these remittances were invariably sent
by Philip ,MGen.ia wealthy 1hanufac-
nrer of Worcester. There was talk
OF blackmail. but Moen indignantly de.
MED the Wilson sa.. d moth.
ing. Ten years have passed, and the
remittances continue IN about the same
order: Occasionally they are delayed,
and then Wilson sues Moen, whereupon
the latter: set ties and both hold their
peace. Even their lawyers do not
know the nature of the claim. for none
OF the suits hare yetsbeenspermitted to
go to trial, and Tie complaints that
are filed are not specific, No wonder
the rural gossips are, at their wit ends.
Interest in the case has been re-
vlved by the Institutional suit for
$3.50, 900 by Wilson against Moen. The
attorneys of each say it, will meyer
come to tr al, and Moen himself id
mits thatshessvillvpay anything that
may be due Wilson, Moen is an elder
~ man, who has an income of $3.50, 600
a year, while Wilson is still young.
The latter spends his money with q
prodga hand a:id is something of a
sport. No Dne ever saw thes men TO-
getheT and nobody can imagine what
the nature ofsthe:r relations is. It<;s a
queer ease and Moen and Wilson are
queer fish. :: -. t!*,' ~, ( sls
