The Making of Scissors.

Though no complexities are in.
volved in the making of scissors or
much skill required, yet the process
of manufacture is very interesting.
They are forged from good bar steel
heated to redness, each blade being
cut off with sufficient metal to form
the shank, or that destined to become
the cutting part and bow, or that
which later on is fashioned into the
holding portion. For the bow small
hole is punched and this is afterward
expanded to the required size by
hammering it on conical anvil, after
which both shank and bow are filed
into a more perfect shape and the
hole bored in the middle for the rivet
The blades are next ground and the
handles made smooth and FURNISHED
with oil and emery, after which the
pairs are fitted together and tested as
to their easy working. They are not
yet finished, however. They have to
undergo hardening and tempering.
and be again adjusted, after which
they are finally put together again
and polished for the third time. I'm

Dinners Looking Up.

Washington has always been great
dinner place, and this last winter the
multitude of dinners interfered very seri-
ously with other forms of entertainment.
AS Mrs. John Sherman correctly said in
an article on social life, Washington, par
excellence, must be the place for dinners
in this country, and this has got to be
the prevailing form of entertaining as
much as in London. The rich people
here always gave many handsome din
ners, but year by year other people who
live modestly have joined the ranks of
dinner givers, and as dinner invitation
is the most desirable in the world this
form Of entertainment has encroached
upon every other.
1t is not uncommon to find young men
who boldly decline every invitation ex-
cept those to dinners, and it is extremely
difficult to find one who does not'declare
that dinners are the only entertainments
he cares about. Dancing is too much Of
an exertion for the fin de steele young
man, and all he wants in Washington, in
addition to his modest pay as an army or
navy officer or department clerk, is an
evening suit and plenty of dinner invita-
tions. The rest may go hang Washing

Searching For Gas Leaks,

So many accidents of a fatal nature
arise from imprudence in searching
for "a gas leak" that we have OBJ
tanned authoritative advice. In comes
in the following form: I'm case of
any escape of gas would advise the
immediate turning off of all gas from
the premises by means of the main
cock, always placed near the meter,
then opening doors and windows to
allow the accumulated gas to get
away and Immediately sending for
q gasfitter or one of the company's
inspectors, seeing Of course that NO
lights or fires are going. Iwould no
more advise a householder how per
sonally to search for an escape Of gas
than | would advise him how to doc
tor himself or repair his watch.
This is the opinion with which we
are favored by the distributing engi-
neer of a great gas company.-Brit-

Railroad Sues For Trespass.

A lawsuit entirely out of the common
course is reported in Cumberland county,
being one brought by the Maine Central
Railrpad company against Windham
man for trespass. During the recent
blizzard this man had occasion TO drive
from Madison Falls to Windham village.
The highway was blocked and hard to
travel, so when he reached the railway
crossing near Madison Falls, seeing that
the Maine Central snowplows had made
a fine track, he turned his horse in that
direction and drove mp the path Of the
railroad to his destination. This was
very dangerous business, and the man
submitted the company as well as him.
self to a big risk. The suit is for $500.

Few, II any, medicines have met with

progress of Brsndreth's Pills, which,
after trial Of over fifty years, are con.
ceded to be the safest and most effect

That this is the result Of merit, and
that Brandreth's Pills actually perform
all that Is claimed for them, Ia couclu-
sively proved by the fact that those
who regard them with the greatest
favor are those who have used them
the longest.
Brandretb's Pills are sold in every

MANUAL TRAINING foa GIRLS.
Reasons why Girls should Have the Same
| Advantages That boys Have.

Reasons why Girls should Have the same
Advantages That boys Have.
The movement in favor Of manual
training school for girls is commendable
There Is no reason for manual training
school for boys that does not apply with
equal force TO like institution for girls,
and there are additional reasons why
girls should be taught how to earn their
bread in some practical way which will
obviste the necessity of formal appren-
ticeship, rarely open to them.
Girls are more helpless and hence
more dependent on preliminary training
than boys. The regulations of society
combine with their own natures to make
this the case. and though the artificial
barriers erected by society have been
greatly weakened and many of them
have been broken down they will give
trouble for years to come.
Boys with elementary instruction still
have great advantages over girls similar
ly equipped, and to grant the former the
privileges which manual training
school furnishes and deny them to the
latter is an injustice which can only be
accounted for by the skepticism which
long existed as to the success of such
schools. So long as they were expert
ments in public estimation it was proba-
bly, regarded as hazardous to establish
one for girls, but these institutions have
passed the experimental stage. They
are now universally recognized as most
potent auxiliary to the practical educa-
tion of the youth of the country, and
the pioneer institutions, there is reason
to believe, will soon be followed by 9TH
ers wherever their usefulness has been
demonstrated.
The objection to creating manual
training school for girls should not sur
vive the skepticism which for some time
cast cloud over that method Of educa-
ton. Girls are now employed in num-
bers in many Of the factories of the coun-
try, and even were the manual training
school to be established upon the basis
or for the purpose of familiarizing them
with such employments an immense
amount of good could be accomplished,
but there are occupations and handi-
crafts almost peculiar to women in which
preliminary instruction is of vital i'm
portance, and this preliminary instruc-
tion cannot in many cases be obtained
at home. .-
Much unfair and unreasonable criti-
cism has been expended upon large
class of American girls who engage in
certain occupations because of their ig-
norance of what they engage to do, but
how are they to learn under present con-
ditions? 1t is the system and not tht
girls which is principally to blame.
If these girls were properly trained,
there would be better basis for the
criticism, but there would be very much
less of it, and the community would be
far more comfortable because Of this en-
lightened method Of education.

Who Stole the Locomotiveg

A very unusual incident has occurred
on the railway between Lyons and Ire
voux. The Lyons station master was as
tonished not to see the early morning
train from Trevoux arrive at the usual
hour, and after waiting some time tele
graphed to know the cause of the delay
He received the reply that the train had
not started because the engine had been
stolenl Though failing to understand
how an engine could be carried off with
out any one knowing anything about it,
he sent spare engine from Lyons.
In the meantime the Trevoux engine
driver had been hunting everywhere for
his locomotive, which was ultimately
found standing on the line between Neu-
vile and Fleurville. 1t is supposed that
this practical joke-which might hare
caused serious accident-was played
by dismissed servant Of the railway
company.-Cor. London Standard.
