Hammers.

Hammers are represented on the
monuments of Egypt, twenty centuries
before our era. They greatly resem-
bled the hammer now in use, save that
there were no claws on the back for
the extraction of nails. The first ham,
mer was undoubtedly stone held in
the hand. Claw hammers were in
vented some time during the middle
ages. Illuminated manuscripts of the
eleventh century represent carpenters
with claw hammers. Hammers are of
all sizes, from the dainty instruments
used by the jeweler, which weigh less
than half an ounce, to the gigantic
hfty-ton hammer of shipbuilding estab-
liShments, some Of which weigh as
much as fifty tons and have a falling
torce of from ninety to 100. Every
trade has its own hammer and it's own
way of using it.

1t is the next thing to impossible for
a boy or girl born in this country to
reach the age of 16 years without know
ing how to read and write. The public
school system may be regarded as q
coroIlary to the constitution, because
government by the people would be a
manifest absurdity if the people were
incapable of studying the constitution
itself, the laws of the land, and the dis
cussions of public questions. Against
ourselves there is, in fact, an educa-
tional qualification as a condition prece-
dent to the exercise of the suffrage.
The positive laws concerning school at
tendance serve the purpose Of prohibit
tory laws against illiterate voting.
Why, then, should foreigners be per-
mitted to enter the country and escape
the conditions imposed upon Ameri-
cans? Is it not perfectly fair and just
that an educational test should be ap-
piled to them? The answers to these
questions are the justification for the
immigration bill which was passed by
the senate. We have met the menace
Of unrestricted manhood suffrage by
the general diffusion Of education and
it is our right and duty to see that 1t Is
not revived through unrestricted immi-
grafton.

The legal proceedings which have
just been instituted against the Prince
of Wales in the Westminster County
Court, of London, by Alexander Chat
fers, are brought against him merely
in his capacity Of president Of the
board of trustees Of the British Muse
UNI. The plaintiff is said to be a thor
oughly disreputable lawyer. Owing to
his antecedents, the management of
the British Museum will not permit
him to make any use of the reading
rooms, and that is why he brings the
action. One of the most notable cpl
sodes in the career Of Mr.. Charters
was when, after Matchmaking the wife
Of Sir Horace Twiss, in connection
with certain incidents of her life prior
to marriage, he brought the matter
into court Although Lady Twiss was
defeated, the presiding judge branded
the victor in the suit as an Infamous
scoundrel," worthy Of the "abhorrence
of every respectable man." The trial
was followed by a sensational an
nouncement in the London Official Ga
zette, to the effect that Lady Twiss,
who for fifteen years had been occupy
ing conspicuous position at court and
in society, had had her name removed
by order Of the Queen from among
those who enjoyed the right of admis-
sion to the court of st. James.

The greatest kite flyer we have ever
had in America, possibly the greatest
kite flyer the world has ever known, is
Mr.. William A. Eddy, merchant OF
New York, and resident Of Bayonne,
in New Jersey. Leslie's Weekly says
Mr.. Eddy began making kites for the
amusement Of his children, and so be-
came interested in their construction
and in flying them. The fad was pur-
sued so successfully that he has invent
ed new kinds Of kites, and has raised
them to attitudes never attained before
Recently he has been experimenting
with kite-borne cameras, and has taken
snap shots at the things below. 1t Is
likely that such photographs in time OF
war might reveal the position of an
enemy and the condition Of his de-
lenses. The pictures SO far taken are
certainly curious and interesting. The
small boy will be astonished to learn
that Mr.. Eddy scorns a tail to any OF
his kites, and has long ago discarded
them as obsolete. Some of his kites
are SO large and powerful that he needs
a windlass to control them.

Entitled to the Prize.

Some years ago there lived in Eng
land certain bishop who was extreme
ly Dompous, and very fond Of impress
sing upon the minds of the poorer peo-
pie the evil Of doing wrong. AS they
never seemed to do aught but wrong in
the worthy mans opinion, it some
times became irksome to these people
to hear him constantly admonishing
them to do right. One Of the bishops
habits was to visit the miners a short
distance from his city, and his presence
grew familiar to these toilers. During
one Of his calls he found a group of
them talking together, and after q few
preliminary words on his customary
subject of doing right, he asked them
what they were talking Of.
"You see." said one of the men, 1--WE
found kettle, and us has been er-try-
ing who can tell the biggest loi to own
the kettle.
The bishop was duly surprised, and
read the men a lecture in which he
spoke of how strongly the offense Of
lying had been impressed upon him
when he was young, and how he had
never told lie in the whole course Of
his life. He had hardly finished when
one of the men cried out:
"Gi'e him the kettle, jim! Gle him

Bogus Diamonds.

Some curious stories can be told
about the thousands of false diamonds
sold yearly in London AS working
goldsmith l have seen a good deal of
the trade in limitations stones. People
Of all ranks buy them. A nobleman is
In immediate want Of cash and must
find 1t somewhere. He will perhaps
turn to his family diamonds. Possibly
10000 could be raised on them. He
takes the jewelry off to the false dia-
mond previder, has the real stones re-
moved and the false ones put in, and
deposits the actual gems with some one
as q security for Loan. No one is a
bit the wiser. His wife appears in her
jewels just the same as usual If she
didn't her husband would be made
bankrupt by his creditors the next
week. A large amount of business is
done in this way, and you may depend
upon 1t that the false diamond mer-
chant has many a chuckle when he
reads in his paper about Lady So-and-
SOS magnificent diamond braceletr

At one Of the recent revival services

but was stayed by one of the evangel-
ical workers. stop with u.s." he said.
But the tramp persisted in going out,
saying: I'm in de wrong place" mo,
you're not" responded the evangelist:
I'VE are glad to see you" But" said
the tramp, 'youse are all strangers ter
me-" That may be-" replied the other,
but we are all servants of the Lord,
and the Lord, you know, went among
strangers" "Yaas," sententiously add
ed the tramp. 'ai.d they didn't do a
thing ter him." Dumfounded by the
display Of Biblical learning, the gentle
man allowed the tramp to pass, and
when outside the door he was observed
to sigh deeply and walk rapidly away
with the air Of man who had just es-
capped with his life.
