An Incident Of Lang Syne.

Capt. John Allen was one of the famous
men of the times when the British had
possession of Penobscot Bay In the early
part of this century. He was presented
with sword for gallant conduct in cap
turing a British privateer. Many stories
have been told about the dashing captain,
and new one is now related by the
Brooklyn correspondent OF the Mt Desert
Herald. While the English were in Cas-
tine, commanded by General Goslin, Capt.
John had occasion to visit that town. He
was accompanied by his wife Sally. On
the road near the deck he met the general
out on a sleigh-rde. With customary ar
rogance, the general kept the middle of
the road, expecting Capt. John 10 turn
out. But our redoubtable captain only
gave the customary half and when they
met there was halt. After q moments
pause General Goslin commanded him to
turn and let him pass saying, "Do you
know who l amp" NO" Numbered
Capt. John. "Well," he replied II am

ire reached fever heat "Gct up Sally

the old sword. Unsheathing 1t, he waved
1t aloft, and said he "Do you know who

Maria Bivins, a well known c1lored
woman residing near this town. is dead
She was sc years old, and for more than
thirty years she has been engaged il
making and selling molasses cakes. from
which she accumulated a comfortable
little fortune. Both She and her husband
were born in slavery. as were several Of
their children. She had accumulated
enough money before the war TO pur-
chase the liberty of herself and husband.
and during the war she made enough
money ont Of the Federal soldiers quar-
tered here to purchase her children.
After the war she bought farm near
this town. on which she employed her
husband, paying him seyentv-ti'e cents
a day during the spring ami summer
months, and fifty cents during the
winter. She used two barrels Of flour
every month in the Manufacture Of
cakes, always making 3.69j cakes out Of
each barrel. During the long period she
was engaged In this business, II was es-

The relatively large figures for the

by the fact that they Include all the adhe-

versions and immigration, and nearly

l42,167 churches and O. ,322 ministers
showing a net gain of 1852 churches aud
1856 ministers. A clear addition of an
average ofbetween ten and eleven church

SELECTED.
The Process BY Which Steel Pens
Are Made.

About million gross of steel pens are
worn out every year in the United States,
What becomes of themp Twenty years
ago most of the steel pens used in this
country were imported. Now compare
lively few are imported and there are sew
era factories in this country in which
they are made in large quantities One
factory is in Connecticut, another in
Pennsylvania and large one in Camden.
The manufacturers say that the indus
try has been fostercd by the protective
tariff; were 1t to be taken of, the market
would be Hooded with cheap steel pens at
lower prices than ours and of inferior
quality AT present the Importation oi
foreign pens is confined to high priced
articles.
1t was first doubted that steel pens
could be made in this country but it was
soon learned that the requisite skilled la
Dor could be obtained for high wages,
and the success of the pioneers led one
manufacturer after another into the bust
ness until now the field is pretty well oc-
cupied. Most of the work on these in
struments is done with the aid of very
nice machinery worked by women and
girls,
The steel used Is imported because it
is believed that the quality is more uni
form than the American steel. This uni
formity of quality is necessary, because
of the very delicate tempering required in
the manufacture of the pens. That mys-
ferrous quality of steel, which gives dill
erent colors, is quality that requires ex-
pert manipulation on the part of the work
man who does the tempering. He must
know the nature of the material with
| bp EG hot
edge, must exercise celebrity and skill
that seizes upon the proper instant to
fasten the steel at a heat which insures
the requisite quality.
| First, the steel is rolled into big sheets
This is cut in strips about three inches
wide. These strips are annealcd, that Is
they are heated to a red heat and permit
ted to cool gradually, SO that the brittle
ness is all removed and the steel is soft
enough to be easily worked. Then the
strips are again rolled to the required
thickness, or, rather run 1t Is the quick
eye for color and the quick hand to fasten
it that constitutes the skill to determine
the temper of 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 elias
ITCHY of the metal varies with the color
and is arrested at any point by instant
plungng in cold water.
The process of Sitting, polishing,
pointing and finishing the pens are opera
lions 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 that II
was twenty years ago, and the prices are
rather uniform ranging from twenty I've
cents to s. a gross, according to the quail
| ity of finish. The boxes sold almost uni
versally contain q gross. IiddcSmdn.
