KRUPP,s GREAT HAMMERS.
sFritZ,ss SMax.s and Other Monsters Who Seem Almost to be Alive.

Who Seem Almost to be Alive. [Moncure D. Conway in March Harper's.l There is curious personality in hammers
 and workmen like to give them names There are eighty two steam hammers in the Krupp works of from four hundred pounds weight to fifty tons. The largest is Fritz, " whose fifty tons fall on an anvil and anvil block weighing together twelve hundred and fifty tons, these resting on foundation one hundred feet deep. The next in size is named 'sMax" It would require poet like him who sang the ''Song of the Bell" rightly to describe the action of "Fritz,'' and I do not wonder that the emperor, on his visit here, presented the worker of this hammer with watch. I observed "Fritz'' for some time at work upon the steel stem of an Aus trian iron-clad, the Ferdinand Max. The | metal was from one casting, without seam or weld, forty-fve feet long and of twenty-five tons weight. Four men with long clans managed this red hot mass swung over the anvil by crane. They turned it readily this way and that, the foreman of each pauge utteriug a signal which ''Fritz' under
 stoed, ans wering with a soft tap or gentle pressure, or with an earthquake. I was cu-
 rious to see the anvil block which supple
 mdnted the ability of the earth to sustain such shocks through length Of time; and
 was presently shown one which, after twen-
 ty-one years of humping, had cracked straight through from top to bottom-possi-
 bly, beneath some gentle stroke which was the last feather to break it's huge back. Krupp does not make plates for iron clads,
 but only such parts as might be needed for ordinary ships.
 Huving lit our cigars on the Austrian iron-clad we proceeded to observe the opera tions of Max and other hammers. One of these saw giving three hundred tremendous strokes 8 minute. Max" was engaged in welding "hard" iron (though this more due tile than the other.) To nice distinctions be tween iron and iron Max" is indifferent; his
 built on his anvil, and with crushing blows one However, though they seem one and act together, in the end it will be proved that they are not enc; no conceivable force can weld into one different organizations of atoms. To be thoroughly united they must
 be filtered and refined in the crucible. The central part of railway wheels is made by
 welding but the tires are made without
 welding The nave of the wheel is of
 wrought iron, which is placed beneath g
 hammer of suitable shape, and at the third
 blow the wheel is shaped. The tire is cut
 from a long round mass of steel-six or
 eight from one casting-when it is called a
 ''cheese;'' it is hattened, punched in the cen
 ter with an eight-inch die, struck horse
 anvil and there beaten until it becomes a
 tire and ready for the 1uting process, which adapts it to the rail.

The Eighteenth Century.
James Russell Lowell, on Gray in the New Prinf
 ton Review for March.l


 ton Review for March
 Before 17S9 there was delightful period of universal confidence, during which a belief in the perfectibility of man was insen- sibly merging into a conviction that he could be perfected by some formula of words, just as a man is knighted. He kneels down a sim pie man like ourselves, is told to rise to per feet being, and rises accordingly. It certain ly was . comfortable time. If there was dis content it was in the individual and not in the air; sporadic, not epidemic. Responsi- bility fer the universe had not yet been in- vented. A few solitary persons saw a swarm turned their eyes; but sensible people pro- neunced them the mere musce volitantes of indigestion which an honest dose of rhu- barb would disperse. Men read Rousseau for amusement, and never dreamed that those flowers of rhetoric were ripening the seed of the guillotine. Post and telegraph were not lmportunate as now. People were not compelled to, know what all the fools in the world were saying doing yes- terday. It is impossible to conceive of 8 mans enjoying now the unconc erned seclus- ion of White at SelbSrne, who a century ago, recorded the important fact that the old tortoise at Lewes, i'll Sussex, awakened and came forth out of his dormitory," but does not seem to have heard of Burgoyne's surrender, the news of which ought to have reached him about the time he was writing. It may argue pusillanimity, but I can hard ly help envying the remorseless indifference of such men to the burning questions of the hour, at the first alarm Of which we are all expected to run with our buckets, or it may be with our can of kerosene. snatched by mistake in the hurry and confusion They devoted themselves to leisure with as much assiduity as we employ to render it impossible. The art of being elegantly and strenuously idle is lost. There was no hurry then, and armies still went into winter quar- ters punctually as musquashes Certainly manners occupied more time and were allow ed more space. Whenever one sees a pie ture of that age with it's broad skirts, it's rapiers standing out almost at right angle, and demanding wide periphery to turn about one has feeling of spaciousness that suggests mental as we'll as bodily elbswroom. Now all the ologies follow us to our burrows in our newspaper, and crowd upon us with the pertinacious benevolence of subscription books. Even the right of sanctuary is denied. The hornes of the altar, which we fain would grasp, have been dissolved into their origin al gases in the attempt to combine chemistry with theology.

ployer ''is ready to hearken to the demands of his men and to yield to them when reason able" 'SThese advances on the part of sm- ployers should net be repulsed by nasty and inconsiderate action on the part of the men" :" He points out that the strength of the Knights of Labor is increasing every day, and warns his fellow workingmen that it 'is dangerous to abuse it." He advises them not to 'sap and undermine their strength by sx- treme demands and unreasonable assumption of importance of power" This is frst-class advice.
 Cork leather, as produced in France, is claimed to possess some special advantages as compared with leather made from skins. In it's production thin sheets or pieces of cork are covered on both sides with extremely thin Indis-rubber skin, with any ordinary textile fabric outside of all, the whole bscom- ing thus sort of homogeneous texture or tissue; ard although the cork sheets, in their normal state, are readily permeable by water, friable and brittle, and possessed of very lit tie strength or cohesion, having only the positive qualities of lightness and non-eon- duction of heat, yet, when subjected to the treatment in question, the product is very supple, and exhibits great strength in resist ing tensile strain. While also still retaining it's comparative lightness and impenetIability to heat, it is rendered both waterproof and impermeabls to moisture. The external ap- pearance of the material varies according to the nature of the textile substance used in combination with the cork.
 The American Bible society wants it un- derstood that it does not have resources which make it independent of contributions from churches, individuals and auxiliary so- cieties. So far from that, it's available re- ceipts during the four years ending March s1, 1885, had fallen short of the expendi- lures by $255, ,097, and the managers of the society view with anxiety the heavy draft thus made upon the reserve fund, which is relied upon to continue the work without in- terruption from temporary diminution of in come. The society has recently begun new canvass of the whole country with the aim of carrying the Bible to every family which is destitute of it, and more than million fami- lies have already been visited, about twelve per cent. of whom are reported as having been found without copy of the Bible, and the need supplied. In addition to this work 358 persons were employed last year to dis tribute the scriptures in foreign lands, and the missionary societies look to the Bible so- ciety for generous aid in supplying them with scriptures for the work of foreign evangeliz- ation.

An Indignant EnsIishman. From tha Ruffaln EYnrass ]

Clever Tom Whiffsn, than whom there are
 no more dignifsd Pooh-Bahs and few better fellows, tells me this anecdote: Before the days of rapid transit on the Atlantic Eng fish actors were few and far between in this
 country. In those times an Englishman in America was more or less of a curiesitY-as many of them are even now. In a company which was doing Shakespeare at enc of the Boston theaters was an English actor named Coleman. He was an actor of the old school and quite as tragic off the stage as on. His fellowplayers chaffed him in the dressing rooms on account of his being an English man, and particularly on a difficulty he ex- perienced in the use of the aspirate. This had been done so much that the Englishman was reused to furiousness if anyone dared to

Consumption
 Conquered !
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE,

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with apparent benefit. Finally, as last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. C. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoonf' Il of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than a gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give.''
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR. DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A copy of Dr. Flowers Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.

China is hsathen country, but perhaps this civilized and Christianized country can learn something from it. An American mis- sionary, who had been stationed on the sea coast of China, went to an interior point last year to establish new mission. Not long ago his brother, Chicago business man, re- ceived letter from him saying: If had been a heather Chinee in Christian America I should not probably be alive to-day, for we have Leen the victims of an infuriated mob. A lot of ignorant carters conceived a violent prejudice against the "Melican men," and raided us with all the venom of hoodlums and sand-lotters. But the government au- thorities came promptly to our defense, pro tected our persons. and property, making good at once our losses, which, fortunately, were slight.

 The complexions of the German race have been studied of late by Professor Virchow, who reports that 32 per cent. of the German youths are blondes-that is, have light hair, blue eyes and fair skin; 14 per cent. are brunettes, while 54 per cent. show some mixture of these types. The proportion of blondes is largest in the north, especially in Oldenburg, rarest in Bavaria and Alsaee. Of German Jews one in ten is a true blonde.
 The last new thing in hats beats all that has gone before it, if it is correctly described by the St: James Gazette.

By means of string on the outside of the hat, it's wearer, whenever he finds him. self enjoying pleasant view or attended by an agreeable person, can instantaneously photograph the landscape, the lady, or the gentleman unconssiously within range of his instrument.
 A band of Scotchnen who went to Florida to find paradise which would not cost much have been disappointed. They bought land from a company for $12.50 an acre which cost B. 50. The land is represented by some of the discontented colonists as s'sand hole" The colonists were to have the power of selecting each one lot of 40 acres, represented to be near the town of Sarasota. Instead of this they had to draw lots for their lands which were found to be scattered over an area of fourteen miles. Promised house accommodations were not found, the soil is wretched, what few orange trees were there were killed by the cold, there were no markets in the vicinity, and the colonists made haste to get away as rapid ly as possible. It is well to look before leaping.
