We find in the Chicago Mining Regi,ao
a notice of self-hardeping tool steel now
being produced by Philadelphia manu-
flcturcr, whose name is not directly
given, but the product is referred to as
"1'iudcl' steel. II is represented to
require no process of hardening or subse-
quent tempering. A tool from this steel
is shaped over the anvil, as with ordinary
tool steel When the tool is forged it is
laid aside TO cool in the air. When quite
cold, it is found TO have taken hardness
exceeding that of any steel hardened by
the usual process of immersion in water
or brine, SO hard is it that the teeth of q
Stubs file will be turned hy single
stroke across it, and the edge Of a finely
tempered cold-c Lisel completely destroyed
in an attempt to cut it. If this descrip
ton does not exaggerate the hardness OF
this product one would think it practic
able to substitute tools made Of this stee
for some Of the uses for which diamont
tools are now required.

Quite large amount of loose real estate
changed hands yesterday for which no deeds

by Mr.. Q. G. Daisy's sprinklers one was sub

hours was fairly respectable.
A number of beautiful shade trees Of tie

unconmon thing to sec one rolling aloug the
street as ii nugh ladies driving skittish horses

Lessons Of Memorial Day.

Rev. John Donnelly spoke Sunday
evening on the above named topic at
the Baptist church. He chose for
his text the words in Joshua 4, s and 6,
"What mean these stones? These
stones shall be for a memorial unto
the children of Israel" The speaker
said, the Hebrew nation had crossed
the river Jordan and passed into the
land of Promise. AS token of Gods
providence, Joshua caused IL stones
to be taken from the river bed and
placed them in Gilgal on the banks Of
Jordan, to remind the coming gener-
alton of the wonderful event. Ii was
a very common thing in Old Testa.
ment times to erect such memorials
where some providential occurrence had
taken place. When Noah came out
of the Ark; when Abram came into
the land Canaan; when Jacob was at
Bethel and at Peniel: when Moses
fought and conquerored Amalck, some
altar was built, some pillar of stone
was set up on the spot as memorial
of the event. We find them on the
battle fields of old, and they are al.
ways looked upon as sacred places and
property. Memorials represent some
great event, some principle, some love
or gratitude. Hence tablets, monu-
ments; marble shafts, hence Bunker
Hill monument, and Washington
monument, and Lineven's and Gar
fields. And so this day is set apart
for the sacred purpose of decorating
the graves Of our fallen heroes, has
become Memorial Day."
And now when our children ask us
what this Memorial Day means, what
shall we say1 The soldiers do not
need to be told what il means, they
know too we'll the meaning of war,
for they passed through its red hot
fires; and the parents of soldiers
know what it means; but what shall
we say to this generation who were
not born when Fort Sumpter was fred
upon. When their sons and daughters
ask what it indicates, what reply shall
we make?
1t means national gratitude to our
fallen sons.
The young man who casts his first
vote this fall, was not born when Fl.
