living, the manufacture of axes was
quite generally carried on by coun-
try blacksmiths, who employed the
time when regular work was dull in
making axes to sell customers, says
Hardware. A good ~tool was re-
quired to stand in hard and frosted
timber, and not every blacksmith
was able to do the worir. Those who
possessed the most skill found the
demand for their axes increasing,
and so it came about that the Mmiscel-
lanedus work of the shop was aban-
doned by an oceasional wielder of
the hammer, who devoted his time
largely to the production of his spe-
cialty. He soon found that the
mountain. streamlet hard by the old
shop could be harnessed by means of
an o~overshot� wheel, to drive a trip
hammer to less
ical force and to increase his output,
and thus by degrees the modern
~Shop was elaborated.

goods, has gradually led to the pro-

tion of the cities (about 800,000) is
eontinually increasing at a greater
rate than the human population.
This, without Coubt, is due to the
~increase of urban street-car lines,
which are making much progress in
France, especially in the smaller
cities. In Paris there were twenty-
five years ago 70,000 horses, n0w
there are 120,000, which travel, col-

COSTLY AUTOGRAPHS.

Francs .at.an Auction.
At a Paris autograph sale in De-
cember, 1890, the signature of Chris-
tupher Columbus (which. is, prob-
| ably, one of the most fantastic sign
lmanuals ever used) brought 4,000
francs. The only existing piece of
manuscript in TitianTs handwriting
was knocked down at 3,000 franes,
and one -with CromweflTs signature
attached brought in exactly half
that sum. Alfred Morrison, a great
English collector of autographs, was
| present at the sale, and paid a sum
~equal to 4,000 francs for the only-let-
~ter written by Corneille that has
ever been on the market. The last
letter written by Napoleon to Em-
press Marie Louise, was disposed of
lat the same sale bringing 4,000
francs and several signatures of

Louis X1V. and Henry IV. fetched

LITTLE THINGs,
A good-bye kiss is a little thing,
With your hand on the door to go.
But it takes the venom unt of the sting
Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fii
That you miije an hour ago. a
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare
After the toil of the day,
And it smooths the furrows plowed by
care,
The lines on the forehead you once cafil-
ed fair
In the years that have fowa away.
"Tis a little thing to sav, ~oYon are kind ;
1 luye you, my dear.TT each night,
But coe a thrill througu the heart,
For love is tender. as love is blind"
As we climb lifeTs rugged height.
We starve each other for loveTs caress,
We take but we do not give:
it seems so easy some soul to bless,
ye ge Ser stg love grudgingly, jess
and less,
~1 ill "tis bitter and hard to live.

' The Reriector bas been talk-"
ing -with some of the fertilizer
dealers to get an idea of the
quantity sold in Pitt vounty this
season, and the estimate arrived
at is 3,500 tons of ammoniated
zoods, besides kainit and lime.
The cost of this quantity of fer
tilizers in round nambers is
about $100,000, which amount
goes out of Pitt county for this
item alone. The ers will
have to make good crops to be
able to pay such a large sum.
Large crops are calculated for
