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 “‘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. Until the power hammer came in to- en his outlay of phys-|_ 3 ag in favor.among man- ufac’ t each method has its In early wimes n@ attention was ‘| paid to finish. The one great aim was to produce av ax which would neither break nor bend when thia enough to chop easily. Clearly then, as now, the best maker of axes was the one’ who could bring about this result; but strife amony. manufac- turers to secure trade, and the de- sire of buyers to get’ nicely-tinished goods, has gradually led to the pro- duction of tools. which are beautiful and sometimes good, It is not to be implied that beauty of finish neces- sarily implies inferiority of quality. ‘On the contrary, some makers studv to combine in a hizh degree boti, quality and finish; but. the decided tendency of the trade has been of late to please the eye, and. at tho Same time produce somethiug s> cheaply that, if dealers could be de- ceived, would enable the deceiver to book large order%. Se marked has been the decline ia prices at which axes have been soll during the past decade that the cause must. be sought, in part, out- side of the fact that materials ar, cheaper and that labor-saving ma- chinery lessens cost of production. Often cheaper and unsuitable ma- terials are used, and machine meth- ods- of manufucture are adopted, which are not warranted, some even going so faras to make axes en tirelv of soft steel, give them a nice finish and sell them to. those who will have @xés very cheap.

Electric traction has as yet made comparatively little progress there, and we are dumpiog on their shores mauy of our worn- out old car horses, to such an extent that from one country—Scotland— an energetic protest has just gone up. . In France they are.no better off. Recent statistics, show, that that country bas no less than 3,000,000 Cy) | ee horses, and that the horse popula- 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- lectively, every day a distance equiv- alent to two and one-half times the circuit of the globe.

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 Titian’s handwriting was knocked down at 3,000 franes, and one -with Cromwefl’s 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.
