The United States are Hood
ed with thousands of jimcrack
articles as the result Of the ex-
hibits at the Worlds Fair. We
have had opportunities for Sc
curing the agency for a large
number of these articles, but
there are SO few Of them that
are worth anything that we re-
fused to handle them. One
article. however, that has come |
to our notice we believe will |
fill a long felt want.
One of the greatest difficult
ties the housewife or cook has
to contend with is keeping the
bread knife sharp. fit is used
for any other purpose than cut
ting bread it is bound to be-
come dull. If it happens to be
convenient the cook will use it
for any purpose for which
knife is used, all the placarding
possible will no. prevent his
cutting kindling wood with it if
he feels SO disposed. The ar
ticle we have in view to remedy
all this trouble is a knife made
very much like a saw, and it
will cut bread without the trace
Of crumb; warm bread may
be cut without its becoming
heavy. Another knife of the
same pattern, but smaller, is
adapted for cutting cake on
which there is icing. Still an
other is used as a parer. The
three are Of the finest steel
with nickle plated handles Sc
curely fastened to the blades
so that they cannot possibly
come off. We sell them at 81

when you buy them.

Every other subject was now swallowed

Kentucky dignity, Immediately framed a
theory that there had been a raid from
southern Indiana and was for calling upon
the governor of that state to make good the
loss and to return the raiders for punish-
ment.
In Louisville. Cairo and Cincinnati the
most extraordinary accounts were pub
lshed in the papers. One of the sheets

One fact alone was clear to the people

over. They have not only an historic but
cash value. Some of them are part of the
archives Of the State Department; some are
for by special appropriation. The revolu-
tionary archives alone could be sold at
auction for half million dollars. Many OF
them belonged to the government original
ly. The others were purchased by Congress
by appropriations aSSreSating s16o,oOo. All
are still in the State Department, and with
the exception of the Franklin papers all of
them half century older than when the
government bought them. Their value has
increased with age. Mr.. Allen, the State
Department librarian, tells me that the
cash value of these revolutionary archives
undoubtedly exceeds half million dollars.
No one could possibly form an estimate of
the value of all of the State Department
archives. They include the origin, Decla-
ration of Independence, the Constitution of
the United States and the originals of all
the laws of Congress. 1t would be sacri-
leGe to put money value on them.
The Revolutionary Archives.
The revolutionary archives are in seven
sets, acquired by the department at differ
ent times. There are the records of the
Continental Congress, which were deposited
IN the State Department under authority
of the act of September Is, 1879. Then
there are the papers of Washington, JEFF
ferson, Franklin, Hamilton, Madison and
Monroe. Here is what they cost:
