The Use of Iron.

Iron has been known to men for a
very long time. In the time of the As
syrians it was extensively used. iron
saws, knives and other tools having
been found by Layard at Nineveh.
Homer refers to the forging of iron,
while the hardening and tempering Of
steel appear to have been operations
in common use among the early
Greeks. The employment of a kind of
bellows for the forging OF tools, pre-
sumably of iron, figures in Egyptian
sculpture of 1900 B. C. Cast iron ap-
pears to have been discovered about
$50 b. C. Through the agency of the
Romans the manufacture of iron was
introduced all over the then known
world and into those regions where it
had not been previously known.-New
York American.

Lundufoot and AZ snuff.

The shop of Dublin tobaccOnist
named Lundyfoot was destroyed by
fire. While he was gazing dolefully
into the smoldering ruins he noticed
that his poorer neighbors We're gath

tested the snuff for himself and dis
covered that the fire had largely inn
proved its pungency and aroma This
was a hint worth profting by. He Sc

and i'll few years became rich
through an accident which he at first
thought had ruined him. 1t was LuH-
dyfoot to whom the great orator and
wit, John Philpot Curran, suggested the
celebrated motto to the coat of arms
emblazoned by the successful tobac-
cOnist upon the panels of his carriage,
a motto which had it's meaning in
Latin and English and was significant
in both. "Quid Rides" (who laughs)
"Quid." it may be mentioned, was a
nickname bestowed on tobacconists at
the time, owing to prominent article
in their stock of trade.

ARE HOPEFUL.

Springfield. ILL.,, Jan. 11.-With a
deadlock in the legislature, the upper
branch fully organized to transact
business and the lower house barred
under the present Interpretation Of
theolaw from proceeding in its regular
routine, the possibilities for the COM
ing week in Springfield are many.
Perfunctory sessions by both houses
are called for this afternoon
but the real business sessions will not
convene until Tuesday when both
houses will convene and the struggle
for Joint session will recommence.
Coincident with the converting of
the two branches OF the legislature
Tuesday, there is scheduled a meeting
of the Republican state central COM
mittee. II is believed by the admin
istratlon's friends that the members
of the central committee will make
strong efforts to convince the Repub-
lican legislators, who supported
Speaker Shurtlen. that the party or
ganization is threatened unless they
recede from their position.
Meanwhile talk of an agreement by.
which Il would be possible TO secure
joint session which would be con-
fined to the canvass of votes contin-
slesGslnds some politicians see the
hope of reaching an understanding be-
tween the opposing factions, which
would guarantee a recount program
that would be satisfactory to the ad-
ministration andS also the friends Of
Adlai Il. Stevenson.
Some of the more optimistic poll
ticians see hope that the inauguration
ceremonies. which would properly oc-
cur tomorrow, will take place this
week. but a greater number see no
chance for an inauguration for anoth-
er week. II then.
