Ancient Forge Still in Use.

1t seems almost improbable that in
this twentieth century with its Won
derful developments in the manufac-
ture of iron and steel, that one of the
old-time forgers erected by the pion-
eer settlers should still be in opera
ton.
The old Hewes forge in Fulton
township. Pennsylvania, is situated on
Puddle Duck creek, short distance
from the Susquehanna river, and is
owned and operated by William F.
Coleman.
All record of when the forge was
constructed is lost, but the oldest resi-
dents say that it has been in operation
for more than 100 years and that it
is one of the oldest FORCES in the state.
FORCES were numerous in Fulton and
adjoining townships so and 100 years
ago but they have all, with the excep-
ton of this one, long since gone to
ruin.
The Hewes forge is one OF the few
that is run by breast wheel" the
water running under instead Of over
the wheel, as in the "overshot" wheels.
One of the curiosities to be seen in
the forge is an old-fashioned tilt ham,
mer, constructed entirely of wood.
Iron manufacturers in the early
days relied altogether on these crude
machines in working out their tools,
but it is probable that not another
one of the old "tilts" can be found
that is in daily use.
Mr. Coleman has his plant in opera
ton daily and the work turned out by
the crude machinery is equal, it is
said to that made in up-to-date estab-
ishments.-Philadelp North Amer

Greenhowe. crofter. Strabathie, while
walking along the shore about three
miles north of Balgownie Links, re-
Gently, picked up a small oblong
basket which had been thrown up by
the sea. On examining II he found
it was bound with two cords, each OF
which was sealed, the seal having the
word France" stamped on ii and sew
eral words which could not be de-
ciphered He conveyed the basket to
his home, and, on breaking the seals
and opening it, found it was lined in
side with a flannel-like material, while
a cork box, about nine inches square.
was also disclosed On opening the
box, Mr.. Greenhowe discovered that
an instrument of some sort had been
thus carefully encased, but its use he
was unable to determine. The instru-
ment consists of a perforated plate
of aluminium, while affixed to the plate
is a small cylinder, also perforated,
containing several tiny wheels like the
works of a clock, and above the cylin-
der are a number of springs and small
cross levers. The instrument. by its
construction, gives the idea of an in
vention for registering temperature

ance of having been in the water for
a considerable time, the salt water
having apparently percolated through

Bottle BRINGS Ter Huaband.


The recent marriage of Miss Eta
Welch of Bellebridge, six miles above
McKeesport, Pa, and John Wingo OF
Clarion was the elimination OF a ro-
nance started by the bride throwing a
bottle containing her name written on
slip of paper into the Ohio.
On Jan. / last Miss Welch and a
number OF other girls threw a bottle
containing all of their names into the
river near Elizabeth. On Jan. 20 she
received a letter from a Mr.. Wingo
from Springville, KY. who had found
the bottle and finding that none of
the other girls had heard from him,
she kept the joke up by continuing
the correspondence. 1t ended in an
exchange of pictures.
Then Wingo secured a position in
the steel mill directly opposite the
home of the young lady at Clarion,
but neither knew they were so close
together until the Sunday preceding
the Fourth of July when a young man
passed the WEIGH home and looked at
Miss WEIGH, then stopped and spoke
to her. Each was certain of the 9th.
er's identity from the exchange of pic
lures. The courtship was renewed,
and the ceremony at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon
Welch, resulted.

Besieued by SnaiIs.

A dealer in edible snals at Paris,
France, recently received a consign-
ment Of twenty-five large barrels from
the vineyard districts. Before retir-
ing to bed he opened each barrel to
make sure that the snails were alive
and fresh.
Instead of fastening the barrels
down again, he merely spread tar
pauin covers over them, the result be-
ing that in the night the snails es-
capped The man, who slept in little
room off his shop, was awakened in
the dark by some of the snails crawl
ing over his face.
For the moment he was too terri
fed to move. Then he sprang from
bed in search of light, but he trod
on some of the snails, which were all
over the place, and fell heavily to the
ground, inflicting a serious wound on
his head.
Screaming out that he was being
murdered, he fed into the street,
where gendarme subsequently found
him fainting from loss of blood.
Through the open door was moving
an innumerable procession of snails.
The shop and bedroom were found to
be covered with them, and hours were
occupied in returning them TO their
barrels.

The Blind Lover.

They tell me that her eyes are blue.
Her cheeks display wild rose hue
What need is there to tell
The graces of her smiling glance.
The peeping dmples that entrance.
l feel their beauty's spell;
When first 1 heard her singing,
How swift the shadows flew!
While yet the strain was winging
i felt her heart was true.
I cannot view her locks OF gold,
Her little ears enticing mold,
Wherein no gem is hung;
But when her fingers nest in mine.
What they reveal none can divine
No poet ever sung
To me a sense is granted
Unknown TO other men,
And by its light enchanted
| see beyond their ken.
