During courtship a man easily makes a dollar look like 30 cents. After marriage he tries to make 30 cents look like a dollar. That is less easy.—Chicago News. , No legacy is so rich as honesty.— Shakespeare Mfl KING A CHAIN. The Big Ones and the Heavy Ca- j bles Are of Wrought Iron. SOFT STEEL FOR SMALL ONES. The Larger Sizes Are All Hand Forged, and In This Work the Metal Must Be of Precisely the Right Heat and the Blows Quick and Sure. The great bulk of chains, including 1 all cable and mooring chains, are sold iby the pound. The price ranges from : 3M> to 12 cents- a pound, according to j the size, material and quality. All cables and other very heavy I chains are made of wrought iron, and I there are made wrought iron chains of I all sizes down to and including chains ’ of material a quarter of an inch in 1 diameteix but nowadays most of the ' chain used in comparatively smaller i sizes is made of soft steel, such chain being made in sizes ranging by six teenths from three-sixteenths of an inch to an inch and a quarter. When the size of a chain is referred to by those finniliar with chains, it always means not the link, but the : material used in it. Thus a one inch ■ chain would be made of one inch steel 'or iron. The completed link would be ; about five or six times as long and about three and a half times as wide across as the thickness of the material of which it was made. I In other days all chains was hand made, but the modern chain is of soft : steel and machine made. There is taken a long bar of steel, which is bent ! cold around a mandril that is oval in : shape. The bar is thus bent into what I looks like a spiral spring with its coils ! not round, but oblong. This spiral is I cut up cold in a cutting machine, which cuts it into as many parts as there are. coils, each of these being the material for a link, and at the same time the machine spreads each of these sections apart a little at the opening and cuts | an each of the two free ends a long I scarf or bevel and bends the ends over ' within the opening. ' ; Tins bent piece of steel is now in i shape, roughly speaking, like a letter 1 U with rather long arms and with its ■ two ends bent over inward. It needs j only to have those starved ends weld ed together to make it a link of chain. The chainmaker sits at a foot oper ated power hammer, with a forge be side him. in winch he heats the open links. He takes from the fire a link suitably heated and hooks it into the chain as far as completed and then pinches the open ends of the new link together un der. the hammer, and with three or four quick I lows he welds the link to gether. When he takes a hot link from the fire he puts a cold one in. and so he continues to work It is alto i gether a quick and more economical ! process of manufacture than hand : forging, but it has not yet been adapt i ed to chains of the larger sizes. i There are wrought iron chains of ! some sizes that are machine made, but i all wrought chains of materia) above i an inch and a quarter in diameter are ! hand forged. ■ Os whatever size the big chain is to j be the workmen cut up the iron bars i into straight lengths, each suitable to [be made into a link This length of ! iron is heated, one end at a time, and ; one after the other the ends a?e ham mered down by hand on an anvil to shape the scarves or bevels. Then this straight piece of heavy wrought iron with scarred ends is swaged intft ! link form, and if it is to be a stud of bar chain there is placed within the link before it is welded together the stud or bar. This is a stout little bar of cast iron, with its ends rounded in. to fit the rounding surface of thp link iron, the stud being placed across the link inside of it way of its length. Once in place and the link pinched I together on its ends the stud could not be got out except b.v breaking it out with a sledge. Its purpose is to pre .vent the links from drawing together lat their sides and wedging under I heavy strains. In a stud chain there i is a stud in every link. ! With this stud in place and the link i beat to shape with the scarves over- ■ lapping, the link is again put in the ! fire to be finally heated for the weld i ing. which is done by band. It takes ■ a blacksmith to handle it and on big ! chains two or three helpers striking i with sledges*: to do the welding. The iron must be of precisely the right heat, and the blows must be quick ; and sure to complete the work perfect- i ly before the iron cbols. ; Stud chain is sometimes made of iron as small as five-eighths of an inch In diameter. From that the iron used runs through various diameters up to three inches and more A three inch chain makes a tremendous cable suitable for a five ton anchor.—Hel per's Weekly. U nlawful.

Anchor ice is the popular name given ' in many parts of this country to the i ice formed at the bottom of swiftly running streams. This ice usually forms about stones and logs where the current is disturbed. What gives it interest is the circumstance that its formation seems to be contrary to the laws that govern freezing water. We know that in still water ice be gins to form on the surface. We are told that in cooling down to 39 degrees F. water contracts and that its specific gravity increases so that the colder wa ter will be at the bottom. But in cool ing from 39 degrees down to 32 de grees the water expands, and the cold est water will be at the top and freez ing will begin there. If the surface is disturbed by wind or by current the crystals cannot attach themselves and ice does not form, though the water be cooled below the freezing point. It is in these circumstances that ice forms at the bottom. One of the puz zling features of this formation is that it forms where the lower currents seem most disturbed The watermen of various localities believe in the possibility of the water freezing at the bottom of a river, the surface remaining fluid. They assert that boat hooks, eel )>icks. etc., con stantly come in contact a coating of ice at the tiottom aftd that large i masses of ice are often seen rising to the surface with mud. weeds and stone adhering. Millers have asserted that the wheels of their water mills have become frozen to the bottom of the stream while the surface of the water was still unfrozen.—Harper’s Weekly. DISCIPLINE IN GERMANY. Even the Boys Respect Law and Order and Property Rights. One of the things which apparently escape the attention of most scrib bling travelers in Germany is the dou ble line of fruit trees along the public roads. There are several thousand miles of these trees on either side of public roads in northern Germany. Most of them are apple trees. Y’ou know what would happen to those apple trees in any American state? Boys would pick the fruit green, too impatient to wait for it to ripen, and likely enough they would break down the trees getting the fruit. What happens in Germany? The pub lic authorities sell the fruit crop to contractors at from $290 to SSOO per mile and apply the proceeds of the sale to the upkeep of the roads. Boys do not steal the apples. Nor is it neces sary to maintain a policeman every 100 feet to prevent such mischief. Why are thp German boys so much more respectful of propel + v rights than American boys? Is the difference racial? 1 hardly think so. It’s a dif ference of training probably.

The strange medley of which New York society is composed led Frederick Townsend Martin to say ata luncheon: “Society, for all its diversities and contradictions, is uniform in one thing— and that one thing is a lack of culture. “A society woman, newly rich, as her limousine glided down Fifth avenue said to her daughter: “ ‘My dear, at the dinner dance last night you talked entirely too much about Ibsen and Bernard Shaw and ' Tolstoy.’ “ ‘Dear me!
