BELLOWS HOLD THEIR OWN.
Blacksmiths Stick to Them Notwithstand-
ing the Newer Power Blowers.

The barksmiths bellows has three
boards. When the bellows i, set up i'm DO
sition, the middle board is fixed: the up-
per and lower boards are movable. There
Is valve in the middle board and one in
the lower board When the bellows is not
in use. the lower board falls rs far as the
leather will permit it. and that compart-
ment is then filled with air With the
working of the lever and the raising Of tho
lower board the air in the lower compart-
ment is forced through the valve in the
middle board into the upper compartment,
which Is the reservoir, whence it flows
through the nozzle of the bellows into the
IRE. When the pressure from below ceases,
the valve in the middle board closes. and
the air is then forced out from the upper
compartment or reservoir Dt the bellows
by the weight of the upper board Some
times this board is weighted to make it
expel the air more rapidly and furcibly.
The continuance of the VI without the
working of the lever, caused by the gradu-
ally sinking upper board of the bellows,
may last for quarter of minute 1t is
highly priced characteristic of the bel
lows. The blacksmith who is alone is thus
enabled, If he should so desire, to use both
hands at the fire, or he might go across
the shop and be back swaying the lever
once more before the blast had ceased
a good bellows will last for many years
without repairs Blacksmths' bellows are
made in various sizes from "a inch to 80
inch. The 81 inch is the size most COM
monty sold The size is the width at the
widest point. Bellows are longer than
they are wide, and they are made of diff
lcrcnt lengths i'm the same width, ordinary,
and long. There are about 10 bellows
manufacturers in the country including
three in New York and one in Brooklyn.
Misunderstanding and other establishments
supplied with power forgcs are nowadays
equipped with power blowers and there
are also various hauG blowers, some oper-
atcd with a crank and some with lever,
ana there are now used many portable
FORCES and blowers combined The sale of
mudcrn appliance, for blowing forge fires
has increased greatly in recent years whilo
the sale of bellows has not. But there are
shipsmithS and boiler makers, wheel
wrights, carriage and wagon makers and
others who still use bellows, and almost
every horSc~hucr Uses bellows and pre-
fer, it To any other means of blowing his
fire, So that there are still sold thousands
of bellows annually York sun.

HOW LONOONERs SPEND MONEY.


Londoncrs impovcrish themselves and
make themselves absurdly miserable by
their own devices. Most of the things on
which they cXpend their money are van
titles or frauds Their houses and their
dress, as we have seen, are pitiful, their
special literature often worse than none,
their art the pictures on the hoardings,
their amuScmcuts sensual. Their very
holidays are miserable labor, dull excite
mentS, almost wholly without physical or
mental good or intellectual gain. \ time
of quiet relaxation or of natural enjoy
ment is indeed the lot of but few. Crowd
ed excursion trains ana the rude company
at seaside towns are the intliction of tho
lower, middle and the working classes,
and bank holidays are perhaps as much an
injury as a blessing Railways and steam
boats and the means of entertainment are
so overcrowded that all healthy, civilized
enjoyment is impossible, and so the man.
ners Of the people become coarser from
the very means that should promote inn
provement.
On the continent each parish has its iso-
lated fete, well managed and within the
means at hand, and thus these fetes are
graceful, civilizing entertainments. We in
London need such limitedly local relaxa-
tions so that each part of the metropolis
being as occasion may require, assisted by
the others, district holidays might be "a
means of good alternately to all the popu-
lation. Probably from mere conceit or
mental laziness the people are so fond OF
bigness and monotony that they entirely
overlook the ways of providence in which
the multitudinously small and varied is
the rule. Monotony and uniformity, the
radical idea, are alike apart from provi-
dence and healthy human nature.-Quar-
terly Review.

The sentiment in favor Of celebra-

so strongly among our business and

be held at the city hall next Friday
evening. at s O'Clock. Mr.. c. H.

the matter, and personally inter-

found pronounced. feeling in favor
OF properly celebrating the greatest
OF American holidays. For some
years there has. been complaint of
neglect Of this day in various places,
and we do not think Little Falls can
afford to &c in the ranks IF the cities
which do not celebrate. The Fourth
Of July should not be allowed to
lose it's peculiar Significance to the
citizen and the rising genera ton,
and we believe all who can should
attend the Friday meeting. The
Fourth of July occurs ON Thursday,
three weeks from tomorrow, and
it will be necessary to rush things If
any thing creditable is done.

A Good Annette.

Always accompanies good health,
and au absence of appetite is" an in
dication OF something wrong. The
loss OF a rational desire for food is
soon followed by lack OF strength,
for when the supply Of fuel is cut off
the fire burns low. The system gets
into a low state, and is' liable to
severe attacks of disease. The
universal testimony given by those
who have used Hoods Sarsaparilla,
as to it's great merits in restoring
and sharpening tho appetite. in
promoting healthy action of the
digestive organs, and as a purifier
OF the blood. constitutes the strong
est recommendation that eau be
urged for any medicine. Those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla :,
should surely do so this season.
