the bard of Avon might well be the
motto of France instead of that
which now takes the place of the

Egalite, Fraternite!"
Beset on all sides by a discon.
tented soldiery, a jeering citizenry,

anarchy inclined working class. a
bitterly split up legislature, not to
mention a never ending list of
strikes, the government is now on
the ragged edge of another re.
ligious controversy as hot and
vengeful as was that of 1904 That
row, it will be remembered, ended
in the separation of church and
state and the abrogation of the Ma

The prosecution of Cardinal An

Some time ago Cardinal Andrieu
in a sermon to his new congrega'
ton in the cathedral at Bordeaux
declared that the laws of France
were bad, and that when one found
them clashing with the interests of
church and family, one owed HIM
self the duty to disobey them.
For this speech he was brought
before the judge of instruction az
Bordeaux for an explanation. He
gave it. 1t was short and to the
point. Said he:

tice in the control of the affairs of
my diocese. l recognize no human
censor; what / say concerns my
conscience, the pope and God.
Il do not recognize the right of
the French government to prose

obeyance of an article called the
law of separation. This law does
not exist so far as Catholics are
concerned, since their supreme
chief has condemned it many times
as Hostile to the authority and lib
erty of the church.

your judgments. which are, at
most, ephemeral. There is always

you to take Judgment by default.

~U-HE first pens were tube shaped and
made from brass and silver. In
the far east and perhaps in Egypt
the camels hair pencil was substituted
for these metal pens, then the quills of
geese and crows were discovered to be
more convenient than either the me-
tallic tube or brush, and for centuries
the quill was used, until the steel pen
took it's place.
Our modern steel pens are made of
cast steel Of the very best quality.
This steel usually comes from Sheffield,
Eng. and Is commonly made from ore
found in Sweden, as this Is very dense.
This steel comes to the factory in
sheets 6 feet long. IL inches in width
and 23 or 26 wire gauge in thickness.
The first thing to be done is to cut
these sheets in strips of convenient
width; the strips are then packed in air
tight iron boxes and put in a furnace,
where the mass is heated to a white
heat. After roasting II hours the strips
are cooled and taken out. They are
found to be covered with bits OF small
scale sticking to them like a loose
skin; this must be removed. otherwise
the steel. instead of being smooth,
would be badly dented. In order to do
this they are tumbled in revolving CYL
inders containing pebbles and water;
the friction loosens the scale. Then
they are immersed for some hours in a
pickle" OF sulphurie acid, which
clears the scale away and makes the
metal smooth.
The next process is rolling; here the
strips are passed between one pair of
rollers after another, becoming thin
ner and thinner, until they are pre-
.cisely the thickness OF a pen.
They come from the rollers ready for
the cutting room. Revolving presses
cut the pens from these ribbons of
steel with great rapidity; an expert
worker will cut $500 pens a day Let
us step into the factory and pick up
this strip, called scrap after the pens
are cut out of It, You see they have
cut closely, and with as little waste
as may be. Now look carefully and

you will see what seems to be a flaw
small V shaped dent in the upper
edge of the part to be inserted in the
pen holder; this little mark has an i'm
portant part to play. You would see
very little difference between the two
surfaces of the unfinished pen, or
blank, as it is called, but the side which
is uppermost in cutting out is sure to
be little rougher than the under side,
and this mark enables the operator to
see at glance the smooth side and
always keeps 1t uppermost, so that.
later on, 1T will be polished.
The next process is marking the
blanks singly with a stamp; a girl
who is expert will stamp the name and
number on $4,000 pens a day. when
they are ready for the next process.
piercing. This is very delicate work
and the tools must be very exact.
Piercing makes the pen elastic. AS
yet there is no slit in the blank. the
most important operation of ALL but
before this the pen must be raised"
as they call the shaping. for up to this
time 1t is fiat. To accomplish this the
nat pen is placed in groove, and a
convex tool descends upon il, bending
it into shape. Now each does look like
finished pen, but IL you try one you
viii find 1t as stif as a lead pencil 1t
is ready for Sitting. The tools for
doing this are two pieces of steel
called cutters; they are as sharp as a
razor, but the shape is more like the
thickest part OF large pair of shears
These cutters are worked by press
The nib has already been ground by
picking up each pen with a pair of
pliers, and applying it with a single
touch to a whirling emery coated
wheel, first lengthwise and then across
the nib, so when the slit is made the
pen is complete so far as the machine
work goes But examine ii closely;
the outer edge of the point is smooth,
while the inside edges just made by
the cutter are sharp, and scratch. SO
they are again "barreled" that is, re-
volved in barrels with pounded metal
for several hours and then in barrels
of sawdust for polishing.

A day or so after the professor hap
the fall 1t was piled almost to the
roof with oak and pine for the winters
use, but now it was comparatively
empty.
Just as he was going out he caught
sight of Dan bending over some OBJ
ject in the corner
He went slowly back.
What is 1t, Dan? What have you
there?" he asked kindly.
Dan did not answer. He lifted his
eyes to the professors face, but
dropped them again without speaking.
The professor drew near and bent
down. There in the darkest corner, on
some straw and old clothes, lay a lean
and Shaggy dog. 1t tried to rise and
wag a friendly tail and lick the pro-
feSsors hand, but it had been injured
in some way and could scarcely get up.
"Why, Dan," cried the professor,

But he had one trait of character
the professor liked so well that it
made up for all the other deficiencies
he was deeply and sincerely grateful.
So the professor, by a word here
and there and especially by good
example, hoped to correct the faults
and vices he saw in the boy; faults
and vices due, very largely, to his
former surroundings.
The winter SHOWS melted away from
all except the highest peaks of the
mountains; the air was soft and balmy
once more. The early flowers peeped
from their beds and the young grass
sprang up along the roadside.
The fruit trees-apple. pear and
cherry-burst forth, one by one, into
feathery bloom; pink and white blos-
SONS were everywhere.
Along the edge of the rocky road
up which the creaky old stage climbed
laboriously every day, the mild
azaleas, pink and yellow and creamy
white, filled the air with sweetest
perfume.
There's something on that boys
mind" said the professor to himself
one day. He's keeping something
from me. I know boys like book!
May be he's up to mischief, but don't
believe 1t.
