SECONDHAND GR1NDsroNEs.
In q Good Reason to Account
for Them.

As everybody knows, there is moth
ing on earth but what can be bought
secondhand, and yet it did seem an
odd thing to see thus offered grind
stones, secondhand grindstones, says
the New York Sun.
These particular grindstones were
all broad-faced, and all had been orig
inally of very much greater diameter
than they now were. The biggest one,
now of little more than two feet, had
once been of six feet diameter, big,
heavy, thick stone. power driven and
used in grinding long knives, such as
are used in machine paper cutters and
big cutting tools generally
With long-continued use such stones
are worn down until they get to be
too small TO use to advantage where
they were originally set up, but they
are not then thrown away. They are
sold to dealers in secondhand goods,
who will buy anything. grindstones or
carpets, gas fixtures or steam launches,
and whose miscellaneous stock is
looked over by people in search Of all
sorts of things, including grindstones.
Sold secondhand, these grindstones
will be mounted to;be turned by hand
or by foot power. They are not too
heavy now to be easily operated in
that manner. The arbor hole in such
a stone may be bigger than it would be
made for stone OF similar diameter
in its original form, but it can easily be
pushed in setting it up in the mount
ing in which it will now be used. And
the stone is broader faced than one of
its diameter would be bought new.
making it desirable for some uses, and
it can be bought cheaper.
So, odd as they seem at first, there
Is nothing so very strange about sec.
ond-hand grindstones; they come into
the market in a natural and simnle
enough manner, and there is a sale
for all that come.
