Tiny Anvils.

The anvil that rings to the sturdy
blacksmith's sledge may weigh 200
800 or 400 pounds, but there are an.
wills whose weight is counted in
ounces, These are used by jewelers.,
silversmiths, and various other work.
ers.
Counting shapes, sizes, styles of fin.
ish, and so on, these little anvils are
made in scores Of varieties, ranging
in weight from fifteen ounces up to
number Of pounds each. Some of
these little anyils, weighing perhaps
two pounds, are shaped precisely like
the big anvils. Others have shapes
adapted to their special uses.
All the little anvils are of the finest
steel. They are all trinity finished,
often nickel plated, and those surfaces
THAI are brought into use are finished
with what is called n mirror polish,
the surface being made as smooth as
glass.
These little anvils are made up to
five pounds and some Of them up to
ten pounds in weight They are made
some in the United States and some
in Germany. York Sun.

A young and lovely woman COM
mitted suicide the other day under
circumstances the most heartless in
their origin, the most piteous in their
outcome. Several months ago the vic
TINS sweetheart died, and her grief
and longing, by some process incon-
ceivable to normal minds, seemed fit
matter to several of her girl COM
panions for a practical joke. With a
refinement Of cruelty, cunningly util-
izing a speaking tube, they initiated
the dead mans voice. Come with
me-" it said to her, and she (God pity
herd did her best. Not so much in
the passing agony of her quick re-
sponse as in the pitiful unpromise Of
the life whose ending shows it might
have been so true, is there a memory
whip for those who made an unseem-
ly jest Of love within whose shadow
they should 60 bent and penltent

A writer in Automobile Topics says
that the automobile to-day is just
about where rallroading was at the
beginning of the last century or where
bicycling was twenty years ago. Give
the American mechanic five years
more and he will produce a machine
that will be the surprise and envy Of
the world. There are more bright
minds in America concentrating their
thoughts and best efforts on the prob
lem than on any other in the line Of
mechanics. Can we doubt the result?
To do so would be to disregard all
mechanical history of the past.

The excess Of fiction circulated in
the public libraries suggests the ques-
tion whether these institutions are
rightly fulfilling their purpose, which
is something more than recreation,
and which includes education as well,
observes the Providence Journal In
many instances more than sixty per
cent. Of the circulation is fiction. The
abnormal circulation Of fiction in many
libraries demands far more serious
consideration than it is receiving.
Large sums of public money, and,
what is vastly worse, an immense
amount of time and effort, are ex-
pended on books that produce useless,
If not pernicious, results. Undoubt-
edly too much that is trashy and
ephemeral is offered to the public.
