The Steel Pen Indnsfrv.

Every year the citizens Of the United
states, wear out about 1870, 900, 600 steel
pens," said prominent manufacturer to
q New York Mail and Erpress reporter.
Twenty years ago most of the steel
pens used in this country were imported.
Now comparatively few are imported,
and there are several factories In this
country in which they are made in large
quantities. At present the importation
OF foreign pens is mainly confined to the
high priced articles. IL was first doubted
that steel pens could be made in this
country, but it was soon learned that the
requisite skilled labor could be obtained
Tor high wages, and the success of the
pioneers led one manufacturer after an
other into the business, until now the
field is pretty well occupied. Most of
the work on these little instruments is
done with the aid of very fine machinery
worked by women and girls. The steel
used is imported, because it is believed
that the quality is more uniform than
the American steel. This uniformity of
quality is necessary, because of the very
delicate tempering required IN the manu-
facture OF the pens. That mysterious
quality of steel which gives different
colcrs is a quality that requires expert
manipulation on the part of the Work
man who does the tempering. He must
know the nature of the material with
which he works, and with that knowl-
edge he must exercise a celerity and
skill that seize upon the proper instant
to fasten the steel at a heat which in
sures the requisite quality.
First the steel is rolled into large
sheets. These are cut into strips about
three inches wide. These strips are an
nealed, that is, they are heated to red
heat, and permitted to cool gradually, so
that the brittleness is all removed, and
the steel is soft enough to be easily
worked. Then the strips are again roll
led to the required thickness. 1t is the
quick eye for color and the quick hand
that fastens it that constitute the skill to
determine the temper of the steel. When
the steel is heated for tempering it is
bright. The first color that appears is
straw color. This changes rapidly to
blue. The elasticity of the metal varies
with the color, and is arrested at any
point by instant plunging in cold water.
The processes of Sitting, polishing,
pointing and finishing the pens are
operations requiring dexterity, but by
long practice the workmen and work.
women become very expert. There have
been few changes of late years, and the
process of manufacture is much the same
as 1t was twenty years ago, and the prices
are rather uniform, ranging from twenty
i've cents to 81 per gross, according to
the quality Of finish. The boxes sold
generally contain gross. The best now
in the market are of American make.
Writers who buy foreign pens at fancy
prices find them far inferior in durability
to the American article. Persons who
write continuously will wear out good
steel pens in two days"

in 1850 Mr.. Morton was made men,
Der of the firm of Beebe, Morgan & Co.,
merchants Of Boston, and in, 1854 he
moved to New York, where he estab-
lished the firm of Morton tS Grinnell
In 1868 he founded the banking house
of Morton, Bliss & Co., in New York,
with that of Morton, Rose & Co., in
London as correspondents. The London
firm acted as the fiscal agents of the
United States Government from 1873 to
1884, These two firms were active in the
syndioates that negotiated United States
bonds in the payment of the Geneva
awards of $15, 800, 600 and the Halifax
fishing award of So, 500, 600.
In 1878 Mr.. Morton was appointed
Honorary Commissioner to the Paris En-
position. In the same year he was
elected to Congress and was reelected
in 1880. In the latter year he declined
the nomination for Vice. President and
President Garfield offered him the
Secretaryship of the Navy or Minister
to France. He chose the latter position
and filed it from 1881 to 1885.
Through Mr.. MoIton's intercession the
restrictions upon the importation of
American pork were removed, and Ameri-
can corporations obtained a legal status
in France. He was American Commits
sioner-Genera to the Paris Electrical Ex-
position, the representative of the United
States at the Submarine Cable Conven-
ton, and publicly received in the name
of the people of the United States the
Bartholdi Statue of Liberty enlightening
the world.
Mr.. Morton's purse has been opened
widely, but unostentatiously, for many
worthy objects, among them that OF pay
ing for one-quarter of the load of pro-
visions sent to Ireland IN 1880 on the
ship Constellation.
Mr.. Morton's home in New York City,
at No. 50 Fifth avenue, is large brown
stone double house. A few years ago he
bought 200 acres of land on the Hudson
river, near Rhinebeck, for a summer
residence. and he also has another fine
place, called Fair Lawn" at Newport.

The MIX Drinking Fad.

A whim of our girls is to drink milk.
Doubtless they have borrowed this habit
from their masculine friends, who have
taken to the lacteal beverage even in
barrooms. Several dudes of potent in
fiuen; among their kind, proud of being
used up by alcoholic dissipation, swore
off month or so ago, and have since
been ordering plain milk across the bars.
Occasionally they say to the bartender:
''Just sprinkle of rum" or "a spatter
of GIN" meaning that they wish a few
drops only of liquor put into glass of
pure milk. The girls have canght on to
the notion, and when they stand in front
of the elaborate soda water counters,
where tLsy formerly ordered distinctly
alcoholic mixtures, they now demand
the unadulterated yield of the COW.
They affect to be dissipated by long
season of social gayety, not unmixed
with champagne, and they are bringing
themselves round, if not making them
selves plump, by drinking milk. -Ns''

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
Reniamin Harrison.

BENJAMIN Harrison is a grandson OF
William Henry Harrison, who was elected
President of the United States in 1S40,
but died before his term was out. He
was born at North Bend, Hamilton
county, Ohio, August 90, 1888, and,
after graduating at Miami University,
moved to indianapolis in 1854, where he
practiced law. When the war broke out
he raised n company of volunteers, and
served successfully as second lieutenant,
captain, colonel and finally brigadier.
general. ...-aL't
When peace was declared he was
mustered out of service, and thereupon
returned to his home in indianapolis,
and reassumed the position of reporter OF
the Supreme Court. Gradually he be-
came more active participantin in political
affairs, always heartily espousing the
Republican cause.
lie was not a candidate for any office,
however, until 1876, when he ran for
Governor of Indiana, but was defeated.
In 1879 he was appointed member OF
the Mississippi River Commission, and
in the following year he was elected as
the successor of Joseph E, Mcdonald to
the United States Senate. His term
expired in March, 1887.
Mr.. Harrison is married and has a
family of children.
Ben Harrison is fourth in succession
and direct descent as member OF the
Harrison family in the Congress of the
United States. His father, John Scott
Harrison, who was in the Thirty third
and Thirty y-fourth Congresses, was son
of President Harrison, who was in the
Fourteenth Congress before he became
President and was son of Benjamin
Harrison, member of the Continental
Congress. This Mr.. Harrison being the
grandson OF a President, is also fourth in
direct succession of the generations OF
Harrisons who have been in Congress
from the Continental Congress down.
The Republican candidate is mar
above the average height, of straight
strong figure. His hair and beard ar
b.onde unstreaked by gray.
General Harrison is not rich. Ill
owns handsome house in indianapolis
where he lives. He married daughte

/ he has a son and daughter, the latte
of whom is married. The son is alread

American Patents.

The first inventor who secured a pat
ent from the United States was one
Samuel Hopkins, and the yellow parch-
ment bears date July 81, 1900 The
document gave to Samuel the exclusive
right for term of years, to make pot
and pearl ashes in the manner set forth
by him in his specification. In all that
year but two other patents were granted,
but in 1891 business increased wonder
fully, for thirty three patents were is
sued, six of them being to James Rum
say, and one to John Fitch for inven-
tions relating to steam engines and steam
vessels. How ingenuity kas exercised
itself since those days, and what marvel
lous things have been accomplished
since Previous to that time the only
inventor of any note was Benjamin
Franklin, whose studies of electricity
eliminated in 1852, in the invention of
the lightning rod, but the potash and
pearlash patents by Samuel Hopkins were
the predecessors of some of the most
wonderful the world has yet applauded
or taken advantage OF. In the long roll
of honor that commenced in the eight
eenth century may be found the name of
Eli Whitney, the inventor of that great
civilizer, the cotton gin; of Robert Full
ton, from whose active brain emanated
the ideas which gave the world the first
steamboat; of Jethro Wood, who in
vented the cast-iron plough, and of whom
it was said by Secretary Seward that mo
man has benefited the country pecuni-
arly more than Jethro Wood, and no
man has been as adequately rewarded "
of Thomas Blanchard, who invented the
tack machine and the lathe for turning
irregular forms, such as spokes, gun
stocks, axe handles etc. (; of Ross Winans,
who patented the pivoted, double etruck,
long pas ienger cars now in use; of Cyrus
II. Mccormick, whose genius makes
possibly the speedy harvesting Of the
grain crop of the world of Charles Good
year, who toiled in his laboratory until
providential accident gave him the
secret he so long had sought for; of
Samuel F. B. Morse and Stephen Vail
and the electric telegraph of Elias Howe,
whose invention of the sewing machine
should have been sufficient warrant for
his canonization; of James B. Eads, the
great bridge and jetty builder of Elisha
Gray, Alexander Graham Bell and
Thomas A. Edison, whose wonderful
telephones and monographs have revolu-
tionized electricity and its powers.
The history of patents has shown
clearly that it is but rarely taat the
brightest among men are inventors; the
individuals who have made for them
selves fame as originators or workers-out
of some great idea have been plodders,
men who kept on thinking and to
thought added practical experiments.
In many instances they were lamentably
deficient in literary education, but they
examined the things about them anc
studied how to simplify and improve
them; they sought information on spe
ciAc lines and thus educated themselves
as benefactors, not only to themselves
but also to mankind for all ages to come

The Unpleasant Cape Doctor. ("

OF all the desolate, unkempt-l looking
places in the world the suburb of Cape
Town we passed through, under the
shadow of the mountain, is the most uh-
kempt and desolate. 1t is not an accepta-
BILE side of the town, and no one lives
here who can possibly avoid it. For
here the celebrated southeaster, the
''cape doctor" as the Anglo-Indians call
it, blows the strongest. And the cape
doctors" strongest is no joke.
Where it comes from no one knows,
for it is a purely local wind, and it al
ways seems possible to get behind it by
going a few miles to the windward.
Some people aver that it is brewed on
top of the mountain and comes down
Just upon Cape Town itself and nowhere
else. There are all sorts of queer things
going on on top of this mountain; wit
ness, for instance, the celebrated white
tablecloth that hangs over it whenever q
Southwestern is at work But wherever
| it comes from it is an unmistabable real
ity, as you soon learn, for it whirls bar
row loads of gravel in your face, or spins
you around like teetotum at the street
corners. Detroit Free Press.

Expensive PLAYING Cards.

The British Museum has several packs
of genuine ivory cards brought from the
East, and d number more of ivory made
in France, fot the use of persons of rank
and wealth. But the real ivory cards are
so costly as to be very scarce, snd in real
merit exceed the imitation ivo'y so little
as to be scarcely more valuable except in
name. Imitation ivory cards are COM
mon, and the process of making them is
easy and simple. The cardboard is pre-.
pared in the ordinary way, then pre-
paration of sizing, French white and
drying oil is poured upon the ordboard
or passed over the paper with brush
and allowed to dry, after witch the
cardboard so closely resemblesthe best
quality of African ivory as to roder lie
lection almost impossible excepby cut
ting the material Cards are pnted in
large sheets containing forty I more,
and are afterward cut apart by,ircular
rollers, grooved knives being monted in
their circumference. Gold andsilver-
mounted cards are to be found iueveral
museums, and very preciou pack
exists in the Imperial Museum Pari'
of ivory inlaid with gold andIilvel
Nearly $500 worth of the pciou
metals is employed in the prepar}on
this single pack. When it becork5l
sirable now, however, to gild por'rs
the cards, the part to be gilded is ger
with gilder's size, then gold-dustsil
or bronze is busted upon the carSi
after the sizing is dry the card is ttus
with a soft brush and polished y
