The Fatal 45.

single minute later the same taps would have had the effect of snapping the blade to pieces.
 The blade after this process was extreme ly brittle, of course. but he relocated 1t In order to bring 1t to the proper temper, and in order to provide a blade which would outlast a dozen made from the same material by a man less skilled. As soon as the steel turned to a bronze color, the man knew the blade had, the temper it required. Had 1t been a table knife, 1t would have been heated until 1t had turned blue.
 The forging completed, I was handed over to the grinders. In the grindery I was first ground on a stone eight inches in diameter, then l passed on to one which was half that size. Being one of the best hollow ground razors, I was next pressed against a special, tiny grindstone, having a diameter of only 1h inches.
 This little stone cylinder ground out the metal in such a way that the blade became extremely thin from the center toward the edge. Thus the finished blade was capable of being sharpened at a very acute angle.
 Next I vas sent to another shop to be provided with my handle My sides are ivory, and there were fully a score of distinct processes carried on in order to provide the finished article. The ivory was sliced, cut, polished, and what not. The very best handles for razors, so far as long life goes. are those made of tortoise shell, however.
 Next l was lapped; that is, I was pol ished with emery on a large wooden wheel, and then was set on a hone ready for use. was then passed on to some girls who very carefully wrapped me up, and packed me in a specially made case. From here. after passing through other hands. l was sent to the shop where you first met with me, and whence l passed Into your hands.

on strike and defied that particular Pha- raoh who sat on Egypt's imperial throne one and one-half thousands of years be- fore the Christian era.
 Now. these long-vanished striking ma sons of Egypt were paid in rations at the end of the month and they claimed that such were the size and hunger of their respective families that the food given them each month was not enough to feed them and their families until the next pay, or ration, day rolled around In fact, by the 10th of a certain month they laid down their tools, ceased to labor on their particular pyramid and declared that a regular, lffe-sized, fully organized strike was on.
 They said that the paymasters which Pharaoh had put over them were dishon- est and that they did not give them all the supplies that Pharaoh allowed for them, but kept lots of the food for their own private use. The paymasters retort- ed that the men were given all that was due them and that 1t would last the whole month if it was not for the fact that the men and their families feasted like pigs all the first half of the month, and, as a consequence, were forced to go hungry the last two weeks.
 The men went back to work, but in the condition that Pharaoh himself would investigate their troubles and decide on what was right. The King of Egypt did finally come to where the masons were at work and decided in favor of the strikers and ordered the paymasters to give them more food each month
 The men went back to work. but in couple of months they declared that the paymasters had again begun robbing them and once more declared a strike Then the paymasters are said, in the ancient Egyp-

 You will probably be astonished to learn that throughout was manufactured without the aid of machinery. being strictly handmade I was made in the rough by one man, provided with the very simplest tools. The process of mak- ing the blades is carried out, from beginning to end by one man. Speclaliz- ing on the various parts is unknown in razor-making.
 This man stood at a little forge-very similar to q cksmith's-which was in a tiny workshop. His implements con- sisted simply of A hammer and smai block of steel. He took in his hand bar of cast steel-a bar which was slightly wedge-shaped. the thickness of the razor's back, and half an inch wide heated it. and then began to hammer away at 1t on hIs anvil.
 With marvellous rapidity and dexterity he showered blows on the bar of steel the blows tended to make the metal more compact-and not a stroke was wasted. In less time than 1t has taken you to read these lines. the razor blade was forged exactly as you see me now. with ihe exception that 1t was very rough in appearance. not having been ground or polished In any way.

Then lie struck q blow on punch, and so made the hole in the tang.
 He then hardened me by plunging me into cold water. Immediately he made a few taps with a hammer in order to straighten the blade where necessary, and, let ne tell you. if he had waited a

When Does Man Begin to Lose Brain Power?

@ HE Paris Matin has asked some of a the most distinguished French scien- 0v lists thel- opinion as to the question, what age intelligence begins to decline.
 Professor LallelOngue says: l do not believe that intelligence declines in the case of a healthy man. whose brain has never suffered pathologically. With age. wheI the body is beginning to grow feeble ands exhausted. the intelligence of an old man may remain as quick and as clear as before.
 ''I am perfectly convinced that with a normal man intelligence may not decline, and that it may keep its force into old age while modifying itself Thus mem- ory becomes transformed. It can still

still acquire and develope, but in feeble proportions.
 "I believe that from a certain age new ideas. inventive. original ideas, are given birth to with greater difficulty. Intelligence therefore has declined. If. however, you regard the question from another point of view, that of the so- biological utility of a man who is past 45 years of age, you may say with req son that his intelligence has In no way declined, but that on the contrary, 1t has increased. The useful materials stored up in his memory are pigeon-holed. and he will know how to use them and com bine them in such a manner as to pro- duce results which he could not have

 Professor Huchard says that the de- cline of the intelligence being due to the very different causes, 1t is impossi- ble to reply to the question. 'lt is all the more impossible for me to answer as I do not think, though this may be presumption on my part. that I have mo- ticed any decline of intelligence in my self"
 Professor Metchnikof. whose writings on old age would make his opinion of real interest to the controversy, would not reply.

IT LYMAN nature changes less than the N superficial thinker would have the world suppose. Even away back in the times of ancient Egypt, when the Pharaohs were building themselves the tombs that the present century calls pyra- mids, there were strikes and the question of capital and labor resulted in organiza- tions.
 There is a record of a building trades strike as far back as 1.5O0 years before the birth of Christ Surely this is an- tiquity enough to give the labor strike the dignity of an established custom. The strike closely resembled many that are going on right at this minute, and more than that. it was the masons who went

Carrying Keys.

E ERE is a little tip which will be M useful to any man who has to carry a large bunch of keys about with him. He probably wants to keep the keys on the end of chain, but a heavy bunch of keys does not improve the appearance of the pocket of the trousers, in fact, if the keys are at all bulky they cause a most unsightly bulge. Now for the tip. Have a fairly large hook sown inside the trousers pocket near the top. Having fastened the keys to the chain you can hang them on this hook inside the pocket. The keys are out of the way and yet they can easily be got at when they are wanted. and they do not spoil the ap- pearance of the pocket of the set of the trousers.
