the train won't run. But suppose the
company were soulless enough to order
it, and the engineer were cruel enough
to drive the wheels of the engine crunch

worse off? Is it any worse to be crushed

infamy and degradation which follows
of necessity in the train of low wages ?
The lingering agony, the long suffer

The Christian Socialist Society,

We are pleased to see that the Chris
tian Socialist ciety is now In full
swing, and if the conduct of it can only
be kept both safe and enthusiastic, 1t
will have as fair chance of winning Its
way into the heart of English life as any
other missionary body has had this CEN
tury. The Christian Socialist for this
month is entering upon its fourth year,
and the candle which was lit up by
Kingsley and Maurice, and which flick
cred and was almost IlOWn out thirty
wears ago, now seems on fair Way 10
burn with a steady aud a larger light.
The programme of Christian Socialism
has not grown more definite and wider,
it's faith has, perhaps, become more We
hement and more critical. Its enemies
are at present less acrimonious, perhaps
because they are more contemptuou',
! but also because a great advance has
been made along the whole line of
thought, against the dominant econon
les, and towards the ideals we have ad-
vocated. Socialist bodies have sprung
up. and Socialist newspapers and treat,
1ses have been born in numbers, since
the Christian Socialist started again II
its present shape, and the success Of this
hsper is an index of what scope there
now is for such a society as the one We
now greet therefore We hopefully and
ioyfully welcome this new etorttoWardS

A Gently Mournful Beggar.

81 ran across new-style beggar
night before last" said Detective Will
kinson yesterday. at was a woman,
and she had rather an attractive
though not Il pretty face. She was
pale, quiet, and gently mournful I
was standing on the corner of Thirty
fourth street and Fifth avenue about 8
o'clock when first noticed her. She
was dressed in black, with a neat
white apron, well mended cotton
gloves, and O small black bonnet. She
was extremely respectable looking,
and when she approached two ladies
who were walking down Fifth avenue
i supposcd that she was inquiring her
way. Then 1 saw one of the ladies
take out her purse and give the woman
some money. After that | watched
her for half an hour, and / saw her
stop at least a dozen ladies. and every
time she got money from them. Later
on in the night, when was walking
through Forty-sccond street, stopped
to look 1T her again. She seemed to
pick out her victims with great dis
elimination, for they were all appar-
emily soft-hearted. Many of the wo-
mon who gave her money were less ex-
pcnsively dressed than the woman
herself. She did not accost men. /
am told that she has been working at
her little game steadily for some weeks
now saw her again last night, and
| should judge from what / have seen
OF her operations that she can collect
$4 or So an evening, without working
very hard atthat. -Nes0 York San.

Great lockout of Cigarmakers.

NEW YORK, Jan. lS.-The great lockout

He said the manufacturers had made mis-
take in declaring that they have sufficient
goods to tide them over lockout. They
might if it only lasted five weeks, but be-
yond that they could not stand it The
union was prepared for a long struggle.
The lockout in Cincinnati had lasted eleven
months, and cost the union over s150,0o0,
and they could do better than that now.

How Cutlery is Made.

American cutlery, such rs knives,
scissors, razors, shears. and scythes, is
now being largely exported" said a
manufacturer to a reporter You will
now find various tools. such as saws,
chisels, and planes, of American make
in very many of the large warehouses
of English Cities"
Can you tell me in what department
the American cutlery exccls?"
..In knife blades. razor-blades, and
the manufacture of axes. In the latter
the United States have made such rap.
id advances that they excel all other
countries in the manufacture of axes,
excepting, perhaps, Canada"
"Can you give me some figures to
show the progress of industry?"
''In 1872 there was imported into
this country cutlery amounting to $1O,-
800 900. which was cut down to about
1000 in 1880. In that year about
100000 worth of domestic goods were
exported. "
"Will you tell me little of the diff
ferent processes used for the manufac-
ture of various articles?"
Good table-knives are made of steel
and iron welded together The blade
is of steel and the shoulders and the
part which goes into the handle, called
technically the tang in England, are
of iron. The blade is made from shear
or cast steel, the tang is forged from
bar-iron. Knife-blades and other small
articles are usually forged into shape
while still attached to the bar, which
serves for the workmen to hold them
by. Two men are employed in forging
such work. The principal workman,
or foreman, as he is sometimes called,
uses small hammer of from two to
four pounds weight, while the hammer
man yields the sledge-hammer, weigh
ing from ten to fifty pounds. The fore
man directs the Zimmerman, whose
blows merely follow those of the small
directing hammer. In drawing down
or reducing bar, both in length and
width, the flat face of the hammer is
used, but when the length or breadth
only is to be extended the narrow edge
of the hammer is used"
''How is the razor-blade shapedP"
1.-The cavity in the razor-blade is
made by hammering the blade on a
small round-faced anvil. The notch or
nail hole in penknife is struck by
chiseL"
''Are the cheap knives made in the
same manner as the more expensive?"
'.No, common knives are made en-
tirely of iron, and the difference in price
arises not merely from the difference
in the cost of material, but from the
greater facility of working. Forks are
wrought into the shape required as
tkotgh single prong was ali that was
necessary. They are ti,en shaped out
with stamping die. :"
'Is not grinding and polishing q
very injurious work to the men en-
ployedl"
Yes, on account of the particles of
steel which enter the nostrils of the
workingmen and which cause most
painful irritation and produce disease
called grinders asthma. Few grind
ers live to be over 40 years of age.
Many experiments have been tried to
remove this evil. a magnetic mouth
piece was invented, but for some reason
or ether the men will not wear it. A
revolving fan to create q current and
carry off the dust is very successful,
but even this the men oppose. n-New
