l heard an interesting distinction
made the other day by an experienced
driver of horses-not n profe. sional-as
to the degrees of danger to which a per-
son was exposed from a runaway horse.
The distinction made was between the
hor: e that runs away from fright and
the horse that runs away because he is
out of temper. In the former case the
horse is said to be perfectly reckless; lie
i, a, likely t. dash across the street as
he is to go straight ahead-and the only
safeguard + I team approaching HIM
isto get as far away from him as possible.
But the horse who is the victim of an
nngoverable temper has method in
his madness. He rushes straight ahead
and is careful to avoid obstacles in his
Path. Such an animal is much less to
be dreaded than the victim of fright,
and there i, no necessity for taking
unusual precautions against colli7ion
with him. Boston Post

Iron ore first named in American his
tory by Thomas Harriet. the geagrapher
Of the second eXI edition to Virginia.

dians AID returned to England i'll 1856.
The first shipment Of iron ore to En-
gland was made at Jamestown, Va, in
lHuS. 1t con istcd Of sey, ntcen tons.
and was sold to tie East Irdia Company

near the same place in 1920, but were

In 1913 the first iron works fairly

The first piece of hollowwarc was cast
at Lynn i'll 1913.
During the French war in 1773 a num-
Der Of furnaces were in oreratIon in New
York, New JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, and
Maryland. where cannon balls aud
bombs were cast in great variety.
In 1871 there were six furnaces for
hoilowware i'll New England, and nine
teen bloomaries for bar iron, one Sitting
mill and mandatory of nails.
In 1850 there were four rolling mills
in the colonies.
In IT'S the most notable event in the
manufacture of iron WAS the making Of
an iron chain at the Sterling Iron
Works, twenty five miles from West
Point. 1t weighed $50 tons and was
hung across the Hudson River to bar

Iotfa's New Play.

A story of the French revolution of the
last century furnishes the plot of LottaS
new musical comedy. now on at McNick-
er's Theater. Chicago. The plot is not
intricate. and therein is one point that
appeals strongly to public favor. Tho
first act serves to involve the characters
in maze of misunderstanding and in
PRODUCES Ina, street ballad singer,
impersonatcd by Lotta, and Girard-
in love with each other, of course. The
second act finds Ina installed in the
house of her long-lost father. rich,
foolish old Marquis. who is sent to prison
for writing reasonable songs. Act
third reveals Paris in the hands of a
revolutionist mob. the characters of the
play in a series of startling adventures,
and closes in happy denouement brought
about by Girard, who has rapidly risen
to high position in the rebeliious ranks.
Through the play solos, trios, duets,
choruses and quartets are introdcced,
and the whole gives opportunity to dis
play the inimitable style of the famous
little cOmedienne.

You must be sure of two things-you
must love your work. and not be always
looking over the edge of it. wanting
your play to begin; and the other is, you
must not be ashamed of your work. and
think it would be more honorable to you
to be doing something else.
