History of Iron Making.

Iron was used before history was
written. The stone records of Egypt
and the brick books of Ninevch men
ton it. Genesis (ix., 22) refers to Tu-
bal-cain rs ian instructor of every
artificer in brass and iron," and in
Deuteronomy (iii., ~ the betlstcad of
the giant o. was "a bedstead of iron :"
The galleys of Tyre and Sidon traded
in this metal Chinese records as
cribed to 1000 b. G. refer TO it; Homer
speaks of it MS superior to bronze. The
bronze age came before the iron age,
because copper, found MS nearly pure
metal, easily fuses, and with another
soft metnl-.tin or zinc alloys into.hard
bronze; while iron, found only MS m
ore, must have the impurities burnt
and hammered out by great heat and
force before it can he made into tool.

Eiemorized the Words.

OF the use of Spanish in the public
schools, George Atkinson in the Gala
basas, tells of an experience of his Own.
AT Calabasas few years ago as one OF
tho Trustees he visited the school OH
the last day. All the children were
Mexicans, and he wanted to see how
the laws of the Territory, that all
children should be taught English, was
working. He was astonished and
pleased at their progress. They could
take up reader and go through their
exercises with the utmost correctness.
And spell-they could spell the words
with precision and correctness. His
pleasure gave way, however, when no
found that they were no better in
practical English than before. Their
requirement was only "parrot" Eng
lish. They would say the words, or
spell them, but had little or no idea of
their significance. "There is one thinz
sure, says Mr.. Atkinson; ''they ought
to learn English, but they haven't got
the right way yet. In Calnbasas dis.
trict $4,000 has been expended on the
school, and yet there is only one Mexi-
can boy there who can speak English"

That the degree of M. D. should

There is enormous wnstc OF farm
land in England through the HEDGE
system, states the Boston Cultivator.
There are 600, 900 acres occupied by
hedge rows, and since farming Inns
paid poorly the labor of keeping these
hedges IL immed has been greatly neg
lectcd. A hedge with the ground it
ILLS, and that spoiled by its roots,
uses up rod in width. Hedges with
bitches beside them take up more land
than this. But it costs too much to
root out the hedges and level the
moats, SO that the reclamation of
hedge land goes on slowly. There is
still greater waste of land in some
sections OF England and Scotland by
withdrawing it from cultivation to be
used for game preserves. Thousands
OF acres that used to support n con-
siderable agricultural population now
supply only what food the hunter can
get by killing deer and other game.

time removes the incentive to the best
work. Women who expect to earn
money through such channels must
learn that half-done work is not
wanted at any price. Not long since
consignor was extremely angry be-
cause some fancy work WAS refused.
The lady in charge was obliged to tell
her that it could not be offered, simply
because it was not up to the standard
adopted by the managers of the in
stitution. The plea that it was good
enough availed nothing, and the
visitor went away in rage. The real
fact in the case was that the picture
frames, which were the articles under
discussion, measured very nearly a
quarter of an inch more on one edge
than on the other, and were Mt least
the same distance out of square. No
glass, except one cut to measure,
would have fitted in them, and when
hung up, if any one had the assurance
to hang them, would simply be dis
grace to the maker and the place
where they were bought. In conduct
ing these exchanges it is an excellent
plan to have very careful scrutiny of
all work brought in, and have it thor
oughly understood that only such as
would be strictly merchantable can be
accepted.
Good work at moderate prices is
bound to sell, unless the market is
overstocked, and, of course, this
should be carefully guarded against
1t is much better to prepare a vnri-
ETY. of articles than to literally mum
date the place with things of the same
sort, no matter how pretty or attract
i've they may be. There is limit to
the demand for anything; especially
is this SO in smaller places, where it
takes but given time to supply those
families who arc i'll the habit of pur-
chasing. OF course, exception is made
in the case of articles of food, but even
for these there is only certain regl-
lar market. The success of working
in this line depends entirely upon the
versatility of the individual, the good
quality of tho wares and the regular
demand for them.-New York Ledger.
