RAISING VALUES.
Possibilities of Bars of Iron Placed
in Hands of Artisans.

The January Success contains AN in
teresting article showing what may be
produced from II number of bars OF
iron. one each being placed in the hands
of various mechanics. The writer says
in part:
The man who takes the first bar may
be Il rough blacksmith. who has only
partly learned his trade, and has no
ambition to rise above his anvil tie
thinks that the best possible thing he
can do with his bar is To make it into
horseshOes and congratulates himself
upon his success. He reasons that the
rough lump of iron is worth only two
or three cents Il pound and that it is
not worth while to spend much time on
labor on ii. His enormous muscles and
small skin have raised the value of tho
iron from one dollar perhaps, to ten
dollars.
Along comes II cutler, with II little
better education, II little more ambition,
Il little finer perception, and says TO
The blacksmith: is this all YOU can
see in that iron? Give me Il bar, ANA |
will show you what brains and skill and
hard work can make of it,
When his work is done, he shows Tho
astonshed blacksmith two thousand
dollars worth of knifeblades. Whero the
latter only saw ten dollars worth of
crude horscshoes. Tho value has been
greatly raised by the refining process.
Still another workman, whose pro-
cesses are 81 almost Infinitely delicate,
whose product is 50 little known, by
even lhe average educated man. that
his trade is unmentioned by the makers
of dictionaries and encyclopedias. takes
but II FRAGMENT ol one of the balS of
steel and develops its higher possibil-
ities with such marvellous accuracy
such ethereal fineness of touch, that
even mainsprings and hairsprings are
looked back upon as coarse, crude and
cheap. When his work il done, he

dental nerves. While a pound of gold,
roughly speaking. is worth about two
hundred and fifty dollars, pound of

worth hundreds of times as much.
Just as each artisan sees in the crude

must we see in our lives glorious posi-
bilities, If we would but realize them.
