The various Inscriptions found on
the blades Of swords may be said to
constitute literature In themselves.
This cutlery poetry" MS Shakespeare
calls 1t, Is not the least interesting fca-
ture of sword collection. Hundreds
Of Toledo rapicrs were engraved with
the wise counsel, do not draw me
without reason; do not sheathe me
without honor" On m old Ferrara
blade Is the following inscription: "My
value varies with the hand that holds
me-" A battleax Of formidable ap-
pearancc bears the comfortable assur-
ance. when 1 go up you go down."
and on an old Hungarian sword is in
scribed, "Hc that thinks not Us do
thinks falsely" Besides the notices
on the blades are engraved the max
cr's name and address or the owners
arms. During tho sixteenth century
warriors regarded elaborately orna-
mented hits with us much interest as
we look on works of art ut the present
day. The blades of italian swords
were also sometimes beautifully orna-
mented.

If person has. rs the Celts say,
only one side to his tongue" and
wishes to add to his resources In the
matter of language it might be well
for him to apply to an old man In
Scotland, whose methods of instruction
are simple. They are described in
Scenes III Scotland" by Mr.. Sinclair.
"A lady visiting in the north Of Scot
land wished to get some iden Of the
Gaelic and employed an old native to
give her course Of language lessons.
The Scotsman took the Bible for the
tcxt book, and, opening it ut the be-
ginning of Genesis, he said:
Nov. ma'am, I'll read this to you
In the Gaelic, and you'll see yourself
how 1t will go"
With solemn information and an ap-
pealing, triumphant glance toward the
lady ut the end Of every clause, he
loudly read the first four verses and
paused to watch the effect. Then lie
said In tone Of deep conviction:
'Now. ma'am, If you'll take your
own Bible and turn to that chapter and
read it in English you'll see it's just
the selfsame thing"
The old man was much surprised that
the lady did not continue her lessons.
