HOW FISH HOOKS ARE MADE.

Some Points of Interest to Anglers Concern
ing the Manufacture of Their Weapons.
/ FTHE MAKING OF FISH HOOKS Is NOT
Il merely a trade In itself; anglers consider
that it is properly speaking an art In England
/ the best ones are made. because all manufac-
tureE of steel excel in that country, where every
| product of that material. from razors down, is
| beyond compare Hooks of the first quality
are made from the very best cast-steel wire.
which is turned out in coils at Sheffield and
Birmingham.
The first process Is to cut the wire into
lengths suitabl, fo- the hooks to be made
Ordinary sizes are chopped of by the quantity
with machine. but the big ones fer use in
catching sharks and other big sec fishes are
cut singly with hammer and chisel. After the
lengths of wire have been cut off. another op-
orator takes them and turns up the barbs by
cutting into the yet soft metal with
knife upon an anvil Next the
straight pieces are taken in hand
by workman who files the points to keenness
Where the best hooks are concerned each one
Is manipulated separately, being held in pincers
while the necessary sharpness is given by few
dexterous strokes. Common hooks are pointed
with one file, but the finer sorts require the
application of two or three Of different degrees
of coarseness.
The points once made, another workman
takes the bits of wire in hand. bending them
round in curved piece of steel, so that each
one shall have the characteristic fexure which
makes the type of hook desired. The process
OF forming the instrument ID now completed
save for the shank. which may either be loop
at the end of the wire or a fattening at the ex-
tremity. The hattening is done by one sharp
blow with a hammer upon an anvil
The hnal process Is the tempering of the
hooks to harden them, and when all these
operations have been completed they are
secured in revolving barrels driven by steam
power and filled with water and soft soap.
When the friction has worn them bright they
are dried In another revolving barrel contain
ing sawdust.
In old times fishermen made their own hook,
using very much the same methods as are now
practiced on a large scale in the factories. 1t
Is very curious fact that during the bronze
age, when metals had first come into Use, fish
hooks had the same forms now. even to the
shanks and curves. The famous Limerick"
and ''Shaughnessy" bends are absolute repro
ductions OF those preferred in that early epoch.

about them. arising from the fact that
she is never satisfied with them as they
come from the hands Of her dressmaker, but
always takes what she calls hack at them her
self My sentimental girl wore short hair and
was quite interesting withal, but as she neither
cheweI gum, talked sports, used slang nor
seemed disposed to firt, the boys voted her
deucedlv dull and were inclined to cut her, a
proceeding which didn't appear to fash her In
the least. for she merely tossed her shapely boy
head and remarked that the college BOYS Of
the day knew little that their thoughts were
often disconnected. But if the sentimental girl
failed with the college boys she was a brilliant
success with the oldish young men, who cling
desperately to the advanced forties. as if they
hoped that they might stick two years on num-
Der forty-six.

The Timepieces Stopped Mysteriously

The Timepieces Stopped Mysteriously.
From the New York Times
There is family in a certain Long Island
suburb who are endeavoring to preserve calm
philosophy over a rather startling occurrence.
On Friday night a week ago, the night Of the
sudden gale, it will be remembered. the gentle
man was aroused from slumber by the persist
ent barking of his dog. He got up and recon-
noitered from his window, saw nothing and
heard nothing suspicious and. telling his dog
to be quiet returned to bed and to sleep. Be-
fore he slept, however, he replied to his wife 8
question as 10 the time OF night with the remark
that it was probably about 100, as the street
lamps were very. low. The village it may be
explained is lighted with lamps whose wick
and oil are graduated TO burn a certain time
and then 60 out without the expense of a hui
man extinguisher, fact SO well understood
that person of any continued residence can
gauge the hour with considerable accuracy
from the condition of the lights.
On arising the next morning the husband
was surprised to find his watch was not going
it had stopped at precisely twenty-six minutes
after 1. He owns two watches, a silver and
gold one, and he Mt once went to the gold one
for the time That had stopped. too-at pre-
cisely twenty-eight minutes after /. And
then, with an odd sensation, the man recalled
That the night before. in winding the two
watches, he had noticed that the gold one was
two minutes faster than the silver one. He de-
cided he would not tell his wife about this re-
markable performance OF his timepieces and
continued his dressing. She had preceded him
below stairs, but before he was ready to leave
his room she called to him. He went to the
baluster to hear her.
What time is it: please; the dining room
clock has stopped?'' She asked.
AT what hour" he almost grasped.
Twenty six minutes after l o'clock" was
the reply, which sent an uncanny chill over
him.

not even missed his train. but will some society
Of psychology please explain. il it can, what set

lated and heretofore continuous timepieces at
precisely the same moment?-fOr this story is
absolutely accurate in every detail.

Not an Arnericanism.
From Notes and Queries.

American papers often speak OF ''disgrun-
tied men, meaning those who suffer under a
sense Of injury or are otherwise dissatisfied.
There is derogatory undertone in the ugly
word. Some danger existed awhile ago that il
would be reintroduced into English usage. but
that seems now to be happily past-reintro-
duced, not adopted, because it is originally
English, like SO many other "Americanisms. =

that Hodge was little disgruntlsd."

Danrnerung.

IT'S an eve with memories laden,
And out from the long ago
Drifts the wrath Of another evening
With its yellow afterglow:
Where the purple beethoven growing,
Dew in lis heart distills,
And winsome airs are blowing
over the Saxon hills.
Faint from the shadowy river
Float songs Of the Fatherland.
And afair-haired maid Is standing,
With wild flowers In her hand.
o child with the heart Of lilies,
You made my own rejoice.
With your eyes that talked of loving
And your beautiful old-world voice.
All the mans deep soul within me
Yearned 10 call you mine that day:
Always from love to longing
IL is such little way.
And blissful as life in heaven,
In its grand sweet purity,
Would have flowed our lives together
In fair green Saxony.
Over the stormy ocean,
Leagues from the German land,
You reigned last night the mistress
OF mansion great and grand.
There were countless servile lackeys
Ready to come at your call,
But he who of right stood beside You
Was lower than they all.
An, WE'LL you have bartered fairly;
Gold ever with gold must join,
And your hairs rich wealth outvalues
The duller CLEAN OF his coin.
Your eyes are blue as his sapphires,
And the satin snOwiness
OF the fair full throat they encircle
Is soft a. your costly dress.
But the noble aspirations,
The souls high narmonies,
And your minds unfolding beauties,
What has he given for these:
Your mouths faint lines Of hardness
Might well cause tears to start,
For each one marks the death place
Of sweet thought in your heart
Do ] love you now: No. truly,
In the fair form they extol
see a sepulcher only
Enshrining your murdered soul.
But what you were, adoring,
hold as life's greatest boon,
10 your angel past outreachinR
As the sea strains toward the moon.
