Hammers.

Hammers are represented on the
monuments of Egypt twenty centuries
before our era. They greatly resembled
the hammer now in use. save that there
were no claws on the back for the ex-
traction of nails. The first hammer
was undoubtedly a ste ne held in the
hand Claw hammers We're invented
some time during the middle ages. H.
lu1Nnated manuscripts Of the eleventh
century represent carpenters with claw
hammers. Hammers are of all sizes,
from the dainty instruments used by
the jeweler, which weigh less than half
an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton ham
mer Of shipbuilding establishments,
some of which weigh as much as fifty
tons and have falling force of from
ninety to hundred. Every trade has
it's own hammer and it's own way of
using it,

A Farce Reformer.

The people of the Farce islands cling
to their old customs and see little good
in change, says the author Of "Ths
Faroes and Iceland" but now and then
one Of them becomes a conservative re-
former. Such was an old man OF
Stromo who, in his youth, had learned
cabinetmaking in Copenhagen. then
had been blacksmith in New South
Wales and later marine in the DAN
ish navy during the Sleswick- Holstein
war. Having thus travelled far beyond
the widest dreams of his countrymen,
he returned while still comparatively
young man to Stromo and invested his
though he appeared to outlanders, to
the islanders he was reckless In
novator. He rooted his house with
slate instead of with the traditional
turf, but could find none to follow his
example. They shook their heads in
against the habit Of throwing fish
cleanings into the brook and getting
drinking water lower down. The only
advice they would accept from him
and that after long hesitation-was to
boil their fish oil outdoors instead Of in
the living room. But when this ter
ribs mnovator heard from a visitor
that women rode bicycles in England
he was so astonished that he asserted
confidently that the world could not
last much longer. ~.1E. -,

the latter reached a point opposite the
Elysee gardens an ordinary looking
man who had been seated on the curb
arose. Fallieres, as it happened, had
just turned toward that sidewalk and
was bowling to the crowd, when the
man pulled a revolver from coat
pocket and fired.
A policeman who was standing al
most at the mans side threw himself
upon him. Instantly detectives, who
were thick among the spectators, came
to the policeman's aid. The police
then had to defend the prisoner from
the crowds anger He went unresist-
ingly to Jail. The revolver he used
was so small as to be almost regarded
as a toy. 1t was a six shooter and
four bullets remained in it.
Officers attending President Fal-
Heres closed around his carriage at
the first shot. Fallieres was little
moved. He smiled and said he was
not hurt. The cortege proceeded to
the palace without further commotion.
