How Steel Pens are Made.

"Metallic pens have been in use a
hundred years, but it is only forty
years since the process was invented
for making them fast enought to re-
place the old quill pens.
.'In Birmingham, England" conlin-
ued the pen statistician, $3.50, ,OO0,0 W.
steel pens are made every week. A
ton of steel makes a million pens.
"Women do most of the work, after
the steel has been rolled out to the
thickness of a pen, and cut into strips
as wide as two pens are long. They
sit before presses that cut up the strip
in pieces shaped like a pen, fattened
out.
"Then the pens are heated red hot
and allowed to cool slowly. That
makes them soft. After that other
women take them to foot press, that
hammers down the point and stamps
in the name.
"The next time they are heated they
are thrown into oil and that hardens
them, and when they come out, dirty
and greasy, they are boiled in soda
and water till they are white and
clean. They shine like silver when
they come out, but are put in re-
volving cylinder and turned over gas
jets until they turn blue.
"Cutting the slit in pen was once
a secret which even royalty might not
witness. The workers were bound by
oath not tell it. The tool which does
this Is a pair of scissors fixed in a
press.
"The pen is held between two
square blades of steel and when these
come toy ether the pen is cut exactly
through the middle from the point up
to the hole that was punched out in
the first press.
opens are cheaper in England thau
anywhere else. You can buy some
kinds there at the rate of fifty for a
cent.

ture of pens than in all the swords
and guns in the world. y New York

lie Was Entitled to the Prize.

A late Archbishop of Dublin, noted
for his originality and love OF joke,
was one day walking along road
when he came across three tramps
lying on bank by the roadside.
They were thus addressed by His
Grace:
81 would be willing to give half a
crown to the LATEST of you, if l could
tell which of you is most entitled to
it."
One of them Immediately jumped up
and said:
"Give it to me; l haven't done any
work for six months"
The second came forward and
claimed it, saying he had not worked
for year.
While these two were disputing
about tho honor of being the LATEST,
the third man, who had not even
moved, sleepily said:
"Come here, guv'nor, and put it in
my pocket. p Amusing Journal.

Adventure in q Balloon.

1t was indeed the fierce bluster Of
the gale tearing its way through leaf
and branch that we heard. If the
balloon should dash against the hedge
of spears ambushed there, it would be
not only wreck, but the sharpest peril
of life. I'VE must trust to luck"
said Donaldson, grinding his teeth;
eve can't do anything. But be ready
to spring for big limb, and hold on
for dear life when l give the word"
We were not long in suspense. The
downpour suddenly lessened. and our
balloon rose little. 1t still thun-
dered and lightened, but the rage of
the storm had spent itself. The cap
tain clutched my hand with hard
grip. "We're all right now," with a
culver in his voice, for his iron nerve
had been shaken; "but let me tell
you, you will never be so near death
again and escape it,"
He bent over the side Of the basket.
81 think there's village close at hand.
Look sharp, and you will see the
twinkle of light down there" And
it was so, surely. As we moved on
more lights shot into view. We were
lowering over valley between two
mountain ridges, one of which had
been so nearly our ruin. 1t was an
hour after midnight, and the villagers
were asleep. Donaldson's gayety
frothed like champagne after our
recent danger. "We'll wake the
people from their dreams with blast
from the skies" He laughed, and
seized bugle which hung near at
hand. "How's this for GabriePs
horn?" He blew notes of piercing
sweetness Che had been an army
bugler), which rose and swelled and
sent their wild echoes flying among
those midnight hills.
Lights began to shine in every house,
and moving lanterns and the clatter
of voices betokened a general alarm.
What this midnight summons out OF
the skies might mean filled the rural
fancy with terror, and the note OF
fear could be heard in many of the
voices which foated up to us. We
were 50 near the earth that we could
hear the drag-rope slapping the sticks
and stones with its tail.
"Village aho-o-oyl" whooped the
captain, at the top of his lungs.
"Aho-o-o-oy there! Bear hand,you
land-lubbers, at the rope, and pull us
down to earth" So our rustic friends
with hearty cheer tumbled over each
other in their zeal to get hold of the
rope-fear now blown away by ad-
miration-and we were soon safely on
the ground with our air-ship anchored
for the night. - Harper's Young Peo-

Summer.


June's blushing buds and blooming roses
Weave their spell,
And modest wild-fowers sweetly blossom
In wood and dell.
The summer wind is softly signing
Its gentle lays,
And song birds gaily tune their voices
In notes OF praise.
The gentle charm of summer fingers
On mount and plain,
The ripping brooks and streamlets murmur
Their low refrain;
The perfumed clover waves its flowers
In the breeze,
And music floats among the forests
Leafy trees.
But, ah, with all its winning beauty,
1t brings no more
The brightness of the days that vanished,
The days of yore.
Sad, anxious hearts turn from its glory
In grief and pain;
The summers sun gilds all too brightly
The battle-plain.
Eyes have grown dim that once were shining
With joys pure light;
Hopes that once beamed upon life pathway
Have set in night.
Ye bring, bright summer, with your beauty,
Sorrow and care;
Ye cannot give us back our treasures,
The brave-the fair.

HamiltOn'S Thirteen Trees.

trees which Alexander Hamilton
planted near his country house, the
Grange, to symbolic the original
States of the Union, and which are
still standing near the old manor house
OH Convent avenue, between l42d and
143d streets, have kept pace with the
growth of the States which they rep
resent. For instance, New York
State is represented by the largest
tree, standing in the centre of the
group. Close to it stands the nexl
largest, representing the State of Penn
sylvania. Rhode Island is represented
by the smallest tree, which is a mere
baby by the side of the others, and
the crooked tree is called South Caro-

MARK TWAIN'S LATEST.
ROMANCE OF AN EsQUrMAU MAIDEN

ROMANCE OF AN ESQUIMAU MAIDEN.
A magazine is usually satisfied with
one strong feature for the month.
The Cosmopolitan, however, presents
for November no less than five very
unusual ones. William Dean Howells
gives the first of the letters of the
traveller, who has been visiting this
country, from Altruria. We have read
Mr.. Howells' impression of the Altrur-
ian: but in this first letter we have the
Altrurian's impression of New York,
with some comments upon our govern
ment and society, calculated to awak-
en- the most conservative minds. The
second feature of The Cosmopolitan
is the portion of the magazine given
up to color work, no less than ten
superb color illustrations being pre-
sented for the first time in magazine
history, accompanying an article by
Mrs. Rodger A. Pryor on "Changes in
Women's Costumes. The third fea-
ture is american Notes." by Walter
Besant, who was recently in America
and is doing the United States for The
Cosmopolitan Ia Dickens. The
fourth feature is an article by Gener-
al Badeau on "The Forms of Invita-
ton Used by the English Nobility"
The article is illustrated by the fac
smile of cards to the Queens drawing
room, to dinner at the Princess of
Wales, and to many leading houses of
England. Finally we have new and
very curious story by Mark Twain,
called "The Esquimau Maiden's Ro-
nance. 1t is in his happiest vein and
is illustrated by Dan Beard. The No
vember number presents the work of
many artists, among whom are: C. S.
Remnant, Otto Guillonnet, j. II. Har-
per, q. Hudson, Franz Won Lenbach,
George Wharton Edwards, f. Schuyler
