manufactured metal nails were Of
bronze. The nail with which Jael
killed Sisera was a wooden tent pin,
probably pointed with iron. Bronze
nails have been found in the Swiss
lake dwellings in several places in
France and in the valley Of the
Nile. Until the last century iron
nails were forged, a blacksmith be-

were made by Jeremiah Wilkinson

French Art RUNNING Riot.

Clever dealers in artifce-that is

no better use of the freedom from
