USE DOGS As BLANKETS.
How French Knife Grinders Keep
Warm While at Work.

Every visitor 10 one OF the great
Paris stores will have noticed counters
covered with table cutlery Of the char
acterlstic French pattcrn-broad. curv-
ed blades and horn or black bone ham
dies. excellent steel aud very cheap.
Almost all this is made at Theirs and
by hand. But tllere is no external
sign Of manufacture. and traveller
might pass through the town without
suspecting a great industry.
The swift flowing Durolle supplies
power at the bottom Of a deep and
narrow gorge. OH the steep side OF
which the apparently sleepy town Is
built. At one story below street level
we came to the forges Of the chief
firm. Here. with extraordinary quick
ness and skill the knives are hand
forged - blade. hilt and tang - from
steel bar, then tempered one by one.
and two stories lower down. at river
level, I'm a long. dark. damp cellar. they
are ground. and 1t is the method or
this process. unique so far as | know.
that makes the industry Of Theirs
worth q moments description.
The river turns score Of emery
wheels about a yard in diameter, and
above each of these Is narrow. slop-
ing platform six feet long and two
wide Along each OF these, fiat and
face downward, lay II grinder, man or
woman, grasping a blade by the two
ends and pressing IL by the whole
weight OF the body against the re-
volving wheel just below. The long
row OF stretched out bodies gave a
grim impression Of something be-
tween a field hospital and mortuary
The foreman assured us that 1t was
much easier work thus to press
against the wheel by ones weight than
to sit and press by the force Of ones
arms But to lie thus almost motion
less all day long in dank cellar. FAR
below the ground level, is about as
dreary and unhealthy way for hui
man being to pass his life as can be
imagined. The place itself cannot be
warmed, but to keep at least a little
heat in their bodies and stave OF
rheumatism as long MS possible the
grinders have adopted the extraordi'
nary expedient of training dogs to lie
all day upon them-dOgs OF all sorts
and sizes There they lay, curled up
on the backs Of their owners thighs,
living hot bottles. Henry Norman

WON'T SELL LIQUOR ON TRAINS

The New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad has decided, Ell, ctve March Ist,
to discontinue the sale OF liquor on its
trains throughout its entire territory.
The New Haven takes this action III the
belief that, however custom may have
sanctioned the practice, the sale OF liquor
on its trains in the States of Massachusett,
Rhode Island and Connecticut is not per.
mitted by the laws OF these states, which
make no provision for state focusing, Nc
liquor has been sold in New York State

believed to be too short 10 warrant taking

princely hospitality" He had no os-
tensible source of income, yet appear
ed to be rolling in wealth. All that
was known of him was that he was
the fifth son OF Thomas Wilson. an
impoverished gentleman OF Leicester
shire. Evelyn describes him as n very
young man, civil and good natured'
but OF no great force OF character,
and Every sober and Of good fame.
All attempts to discover his secret
were vain. "In his most careless hours
OF amusement he kept strict guard
over his tongue and left gossip To
conjecture what it pleased
He redeemed his fathers estate and
portioned off, his sisters and when re
monstrated with on his extravaganza
replied that. however long his life
should last, he would always nave
enough to live in the same way. Some

Holland mail. for which another mai
had suffered: others that he depended
upon the gambling table, though he
never played for large sums. lie was
the enigma OF social life till his career
was cut short by duel. His adversary
was at that time young man abou'

mysterious Beau died he left only
