The Italian cities produced some excellent swords The smiths of Mi lzno and Florence forged blades of exquisite Itamper, to which they ap- phed tasteful decorations. Benvenu- to Cellini made many a noble mas tsrpiece in the enduring steel, and Andrea Ferrara, whose swords were in high favor in England and Scot land, has left his signature on some weapons of fine temper and rare workmanship. There were celebrat- ed sword cutters in Franco, the ar morers of Bordeaux being especially notable. The German smiths exccl- led in the manufacture of heavy ar nor, and the hilts of Nurem berg were admirable. It would take, how ever, less than the fingers of one hand to tell of the really great swordmakers of England - those worthy of lasting fame. e.-Mary Stu art Mckinney in St Nicholas

 the habit worse than any one 1 ever saw, and in my time I've seen a great many sad cases She's hope loss now. Chronic case, you know. suppose she will die from 1t some day.
 What habit? Why, the silk hab- it of course. Has to buy it, you know. Can't help herself. and her family can't do anything to cure her either. For years that woman has given her life, her energy and her wealth in gratifying her habit She belongs to one of the oldest and the richest families in the metropo- lis and owns 8 beautiful town house, not 1000 miles from Del monioo's. That house is filled, liter ally brimming over from basement Co garrett with yards and yards of silks and Satins. There are closets bursting with bundles and packages that have never been opened since they left the dry goods store where they were brought
 That is a peculiar phase of her mania. The moment she has paid for the silk she loses all interest in it, and nine times out of ten she never sees it after it has been paid for. Why, in the years that she has been 8 victim of the habit she has bought enough silk stuffs to gown a Patriarohs' ball and have enough left over tO make hundreds of wom- en happy and well dressed for life.
 There is not a moro exacting shopper in the whole city, and the merchants delight at seeing her be- fore his counter Is tempered always with dread. She is 8 connoisseur in silks and satins, and 1t Is a dreary day for the merchant who tries to deceive her with an inferior grade of goods. She knows more about silks than half the heads of dry goods firms and could give points to not few wholesale buyers
 For a time she switched of from silks and tried linens. That was just as acnte, while it lasted, and will guarantee that during the months she was under the linen influence she bought enough to furnish 8 Broadway hotel, cafe and restau- rant sleeping rooms and all The linen, too, is hidden away some where in her house. She herself probably does not know where, and surely she does not care. Every merchant in the shopping district knows her, and he knows. too. just what becomes of her purchases, for neither her servants nor her family make any secret of it
 Her husband died some years l ago, leaving an immense estate. His l last request was that every wish of | bis wife be grstified, and it has been. Not one yard that she desired 1 but that has found its way into the warehouse. There are nods of that beautiful, old lowered | ituh. literally acres of that old fash cned silk that your grandmother 1sed to wear and that was stif though to stand alone. No new de- ign that is placed on the market ,ver escapes her. She fellows the fashions As faithfully as though she 'eally had an idea of having the silk made into a gown.
 Some day her heirs will make a selling the result of her hab- : at auction, and fine silks and sat ns will be drug on the market "- New York Press
