He Was Satisfied.

The Duke Of Wellington, as BELTS q
soldier, was an intense admirer OF
physical courage. During the siege of
Burgos one Of the Irish regiments dis
pleased the Iron Duke greatly by not
acting with what he considered neces-
sary bravery. To make up for the
supposed neglect they begged permits
sion to lead the assault next time. They
were allowed to do so, and the regi-
ment was cut to pieces.
Wellington rode up to heap of slain
and wounded. Among the latter was a
man with both legs shot off. He sa-
luted his commander with, "Arrah.

STEEL WOOL.
Curious Material Used as q Sub.
stitute For SRndpaper.

Steel wool is a machine produced ma
terial that is used as q substitute for
sandpaper 1t is composed Of sharp
edged threads of steel, which curl up
together like wool. or somewhat as the
wood fbers of the familiar material
known as excelsior curl up together,
though the steel wool is very much
finer, the finest of it being not much
cOarSer than the cOarSeSt of natural
woods. The steel wool is put up in
packages containing one pound each.
These are something like rolls of cot
ton batting, but smaller, a pound of
steel wool, loosely packed, making,
rolled in paper and open at the ends,
a package perhaps 10 inches long and
two or three inches in diameter.
Made in various degrees of coarse
ness, steel wool is put to variety of
uses, the finer woods for polishing wood
and metal, and the coarser for rub
bling down paint and varnish. 1t is
often used on special parts of work,
while, for example, on the fiat surfaces
of a door n man would use sandpaper
with block back of it; for the mold
ings he would use steel wool, which fits
into the crevices and conforms itself
to irregular shapes. Such work can
be done with steel wool far more readi-
ly and quickly than with sandpaper,
and it is used with like advantage on
irregular and small surfaces and on
carved work.
Besides the steel wool there is
coarser material of the same kind call
ed steel shavings, which is put to yari-
oNs uses, as in taking off old paint or
varnish and in polishing wood before
painting, and it is used on bowling al
leys and on floors for smoothing and
cleaning them.

CASK is NEVER EMPTY.
For Years Wine Is Drawn From 1t
to Celebrate Great Events.

All really excellent champagne is the
result of judicious blending. Time
was when each big vineyard owner
had his own cellar and his own brand.
But it has been found advantageous to
sell the raw wine to dealers, who make
one district supply what another lacks.
But there are still a few provincial
establishments that cling to the old
ways-crowning with a wreath of flow
ers the first tubful of ripe grapes and
keeping "the bride Of the cellar full
from year to year.
The bride, be it understood, is a spe-
cial wine cask filled with the first run
ming Of the press. More accurately it
holds the juice which drips away be-
fore any pressure is applied. Wine
from it is never sold, but used upon
high days and holidays, passed about
as a gift or devoted to the comfort of
the sick and the poor.
Something akin to the bride exists in
the German free cities. Each of them
has a wine cellar, and in each cellar
there Is a cask always yielding wine,
but never empty.
Any burgher is entitled to demand a
bottle of it's contents when he marries,
when his first son is christened and
also when the son is 81. If the son is
adventurous or the burgher himself,
for that matter, he gets another bottle
from the cask when he comes home
from far countries.
But there is an official specially
charged to see that whenever a bottle
full is drawn out another bottleful of
as near as possible the same quality at
once goes in. And thus it happens that
the city cask is never empty.-Boston
