Inscriptions on Ancient swords.

The various inscriptions found on
the blades of swords may be said TO
constitute a literature in themselves.
This cutlery poetry, as Shakespeare
calls it. is not the least interesting fea-
ture of sword collection. Hundreds
of Toledo rapiers were engraved with
the wise council do not draw me
without reason, do not sheathe me
without honor On an old Eerrara
blade is the following inscription. My
value varies with the hand that holds
me" A Brittle ak of formidable ap-
pearance bears the comfortable assur-
ance. When | go up you go down,
and on an old Hungarian sword is in
scribed, He that thinks not as | dc
thinks falsely"
Besides the notices on the blade
are engraved the makers name anc
address or the owners arms. During
the Sixteenth century warriors regarded
deliberately ornamented hits with a.
much interest as we look on works O
art at the present day. The blades o
Italian swords were also sometime
beautifully ornamented. Kate Field

There survive in this city few hand
cork cutters who still contrive to make
sort of living in competition with the
cork cutting machines and the peasants
of Catalonia. One of these men hangs
out curious sign in an east side street.
1t is glass case containing the model of
house all of cork. 1t is possibly the
house that Jack built, for there are bits
of cork to simulate bags of grain. The
factory is a shed in the rear of an ordi-
nary dwelling house. Here, with the
aid of some simple machinery, ork
cutter manages to exc out an existence.
His chief grievances are the competition
of machinery and the problem of dispos-
ing of the waste.
Light as cork is, tons of clippings &C.
cumulate, and although various uses
have been discovered for this refuse, it
brings little or nothing when sold, and
constantly accumulates to the embar-
rassment of the corkcutter. There is a
comfortable little fortune for the man
who shall devise some really profitable
use for cork clippings.-New York Sun.

A friend, himself for many years Il
teacher, writes: 1.-The blunders of teach
ers of English literature are sometimes
more amazing than any that are told of
their pupils. | heard the other day of a
woman at the west who, when Il class
was reading Tennysons Day Dream,
explained TO them that the happy prin
cess. in following her lover deep into
the dying day. went to Americal The
laureate would be tickled to know of
this. A year or more ago there was a
discussion in leading educational jour
nal as to the persons meant in Longfel-
lows lines To the River Charles where
he says:
More than this thy name reminds me
OF three friends, all true and tried. etc.
Zone writer suggested that they were
Professor Cornelius c. Fulton, Nathaniel
Hawthorne and Charles Sumner, An
other thought that Louis Agassiz's name
should stand in the place of Haw-
thorne's, and this was finally accepted
by all concerned. Neither the editor nor
any of his correspondents or readers APP
reared to see the absurdity of making
the name of the river suggest friends
whose names were other than Charles.

As an illustration of reckless economy
it may be mentioned that lady for
warded to Siam several parcels de-
stationery of the value of 81 los, but
the vigilant eye of the custom house
officer promptly detected brilliant
collection of diamonds and jewelry
worth upward of cps, 900. The case
was accordingly reported as contrary
to regulation. The postage at the reg

assumed that the course adopted was

How They Got Along.

A Nantucket woman tells of the an
noyance to which the Mitchell household
was subjected, after its daughter, Maria
Mitchell, became famous, at the hands
of two importunate tourists. Its privacy
was so persistently and unwarrantably
invaded that its members felt occasion
ally that politeness ceased to be a virtue.
One persistent woman, who got herself
admitted on a shabby pretext, so wearied
sister of Miss Mitchell, into whose
hands she fell, that when the woman
after a series of searching questions
wound up with, And what do you do
in this dull town after the tourists are

natural to her, "Oh, we cut off our cou-
