AN OLD ORGANIZATION.
Brief History OF the Foundation OF the
Society of the Cincinnati.

Society of the Cincinnati.
A short time before the disbanding
Of the Continental army, in 1888, an
association called the Society of the
Cincinnati was formed among the Off
GERS of the troops stationed at New
burg, N. Y. General Knox was the
one who first suggested the society, the
object of which was to be the promo
ton of friendship among the officers Of
the army and the assistance of such of
its Iembers as might need help.
Washington was chosen the first presi-
dent of the society, and remained pres
ident-general until his death. General
Knox was the first secretary-general.
Subsequently State societies were
formed, auxiliary to the general soci-
ETY.. In order that the society should
not pass away with the generation
that formed it, its constitution pro-
vided that the eldest masculine
descendant of an original men,
Der should be entitled to wear the
order and enjoy the privileges OF the
society, if accounted worthy of these
by the other members. There was SO
much popular prejudice excited by
what was considered to be the germ
of an hereditary aristocracy," that the
right of succession was thus made sub
ject to the vote of the society on the
worthy character of the eldest male
descendant. A number of French Of
6cers were made honorary life mem
bers of the society. Washington was
reelected tri-ennially to the Office of
president general as long as he lived.
He was succeeded by Hamilton and the
Pinckneys, and the society was in all
its vigor in 1925, when Lafayette,
then the only surviving Maj
Of the revolution, visited this country.
The Connecticut society was dissolved
in 1904 At near the same time the
societies of New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Delaware and Georgia were
discontinued. Robert Burnett, of New
York, who died in 1854, was
the last survivor of the original
members of the association. The
general Society of the Cincinnati is still
in existence, and also State branches
in Massachusetts,, Maryland, New Y DIRK,
New jersey, Pennsylvania and South
| Carolina. The State societies have al
nual meetings; the general society
meets tri-ennially. The order, or badge,
worn By members, consists of a golden
eagle, suspended by a ribbon of blue
and white. On the breast of the eagle
is a medallion, on which is repre-
sentation of Cincinnatus at his pillow,
receiving the Roman Senator'S who
| offer him the ofiCo of chief magistrate
/ of Rome. The order worn by the pres
ident general is adorned with jewels,
and was presented to General Wash
ington by the French officers. The
President General of the Society of the
| Cincinnati in 1880 was Hamilton Fish,
then Secretary of State, son of Colonel
Nicholas Fish, one of the original
members, who still, we think, fills this

HOW WOOD is BENT.
How the Latest Machines Devised for TIL
Purpose Do Their Work.

How the Latest Machines Devised for This
Purpose Do Their Work.
Recent construction employs bent
wood much more largely than for
merly; replacing thereby sawed form
of irregular shape or built-up members
with mortised and tenoned joints.
Bent wood is now largely used in
wagons, carriages and car building,
chair making and the like; and it has
even been seriously proposed for ship
building to replace by bent members
all knees and other timber Of curved
outline. The steam-box makes the
wood pliable, and when cold 1t retains
the form into which it was bent while
hot. Recent machines bend small ar
ticles around hollow steam-heated
formers, thus doing away with the
necessity of opening steam-box and
maintaining tight joints therein.
In bending shafts the formers and
beds are arranged in sections each to
hold ten shafts, one section OF ten
being made right and the other left
handed. All twenty of thG shafts get
their vertical curvature around a
drum as in plow-handle bending and
the lateral bend is accomplished after
the shafts have been brought down to
the horizontal plane and the vertical
bend thus formed. Both the form for
the vertical bend and the bed for the
horizontal are hollow and heated by
steam.
In a recent plow-handle bender, the
formers are cast in one piece, making
a cylinder to admit steam. Upon the
periphery of this there are fifteen
grooves of proper depth to suit the
inside shape and circle of the handle
and at the terminus of the grooves
there are Jugs cast to attach long
handles to. Each handle is placed IN
a socket and bent by lever, over
former; being allowed to remain two
and one-half hours in place. After
this the handle will remain in shape IN
any climate. Cor. Mechanical NepS.
