How to File a Hand saw.

In fling a hand saw considerable
skill is necessary SO the teeth will be
uniform in size, and cut well without
running to the right or left of the
board. The hand which holds the file
must be guided by reason and expert
ence, else the file will bear upon one
tooth more than upon the other when
the stroke is made, with the result that
one tooth will be cut away while the
other is not reduced, and this iuequali-
ty in fling soon becomes apparent if
the same person and his eccentrieity
continue to file the saw. The best
way TO remedy saw that is cut of or
der is to screw it in a wise with a
straight edge, and file all the teeth to
an average height by bringing them to
Il level on the straight edge When
this has been done the straight edge
may be removed and the file used in
such a way as to equali1e- the shape
and length of the,teeth. If totally ig
norant of how 10 shape the teeth, fol-

ENGLAND breathes freer, but there
is gnashing of teeth among the little
grand dukes of Germany. The mo.
mentous question whether the new
Duke Alfred of Saxe-Coburg should be
called "Highness" or Royal High
ness" has been decided in favor of the
latter title. 1t is held that prince
can not lose the rank to which he was
born, and Alfred, as the son of Victoria,
is royal. This gives him precedence
over all the other German grand dukes.

IT has been ascertained that the
greater part of the Desert of Sahara,
instead of being below the level of the
ocean, is from six thousand feet to
eight thousand feet above that level.
The desert is not rainless, but showers
cover it with grass for few weeks
every year, and large flocks and herds
are maintained upon its borders. The
GASES are depressions in which water
can be collected and stored.
