To file square means to file true; to finish the fnce of tho work without marring it with scratches and rounding surfaces, and to do this as a regular everyday thing, la an art to be won only through practice and long experience. Files ruin thousands of dollars' worth of work, and files odd thousands of dollar* to the vaiuo of manu factuml product. In some of tho maohlno shops of Chicago aro gray haired mechanics who have worn overalls for 40 years and more. They remember well the timo when machine mado files were hold up to ridicule and corn and when all first class, well known makes of files were out by hand. Somo of these old fellows still Insist that machine made filths are not and never can be tie good as tho files which aro cut by hand, ? >? > < ? ?? t.hlu nmlllrtiro to such ID uxtent that they declare they con nut do good work with tbe machine cut flics. It would be difficult for theiu to toll tho dHToronce botwwn the two mukcs of flics, for within comparatively few yp.irs muobint-s havo been making fll?s that eon not be approacbod by tho moxt expert fllo outtors of Sheffield. Filos, and many of them, are still cut by band, and a fllo cutter la probably tbe most expert user of a hammer and oold eblael in tho Industrial world. Files and rasps are made of steel which varies from tbe '* blistered" stocl for the poorer quality of flies to tho best crucible, i "?i?t wut" ctaaL for the blither grades. The blanks arc prepared for tho IIlo cutter by forging tbo "tang," or tapered point for the handle, and shaping the steel to the proper form undor a Uio or proKS. The blanks are thoroughly annealed or softened, and are perfectly clean and froe from scale when laid on tho bench of the workman who cut* the teeth. A file cutter generally works on the same kind of a "cut" year In and year out. This gives him a mechanical perfection which cannot be secured in any other way. and It Is said that a workman's band becomes so accustomed to tbo spacing that wars he to beoome blind bo oould cut just as well. Files aro made of many forms to salt the great variety of work which they are called upon to do, but the "cute" which give coarse dobs and llnenoss to files are comparatively few. Tbcy aro known as 'Tough,""Dastard," "smoour anu umu smooth." Thcso aro tho common "cuts." ' Floats" are single cut flies, and double out files are inado by crossing tho first cut with a soeond cut, thus changing the parallel, unbroken cutting edge* of the floats into numerous points. When a face, or ono or more edges on file, is loft snoot, It is said to bo ''Rata." No matter what the form of the file is, whether fiat, square, round, half round, rat tail, three square or knife edged, the cutting is done tho same way. A short, light, steel cold chi?ol, with a broad, straight cutting odge, is used. The hammer is a curious looking affair, for it is curved somowhat, and tho handle Is Inserted well toward tho smaller end. The hammer woighs from one to six pounds. In striking tho workman gives a peculiar ?--'If ?? irlilnh miuna t ho ''Imf" and |/UiilU(( uiun nutuM ?MW ... gives the particular cut characteristic ol flies, and It was this cut that for nearly 300 years prevented Inventors from designing machinery which would cut a flic equal to the hand cut article. The workman sits on a low bench which oomes out from a long wide bench. Before bim U bis anvil, usually a stone block 01 a slab of Iron. Tho blanks are held in placo by strops which pass over the tang and point, and then form a loop or stirrup under tho anvil Tlio workman puts hli foot in the loop, and thus holds tbo blank secure while ho is cutting it. He holds the ehisol between tho finger and thumb ol the loft hand, and after each cut moves the kl.nlr ltirh?lv for ?h? ItAXt CUt. Ho dOOf this by lifting the chisel over the bar and thon pressing the point of (ho tool against the raisod edgo just out, at tho fcamo time loosonlng the strap so that the blank can be moved. In cutting small flics or smooth or dead smooth flies tho hammer blows, movement of the chlsol, loounlng tho straps, moving the blank, tightening tho strap and striking the next blow are done so rapidly that they ore nearly simultaneous. Tho float cut is inado first, and then the second cut Is made. In making the socond cut the workman strikes tho chlsol with loss force, thus making a shallower cut. If tho file li to bo cut on the other sido, the cut side 1j laid upon a plate of lead or pewter to protect the cutting edges. If the file Is othor than a flat shape, the lead or powter if grooved or hollowed out to flt the sbapo. After cutting, the files aro hardened, foi the annealing makos the steel so soft that the first use of the filo would bend the cutting edgus. Some fllos are curved before being tempered. This is dono by heating tho cut flies to a dull rod and bonding them to the required curve over a wooden hlnnlr with a wooden mallet. The fllos to be hardened are first covered with a mixture of Kalt and lome sort of carbonacoout substance. This covering serves a twofold purpose?it prevents the teeth from oxidation and from losing the carbon In the stool, und by fusing indicates the propel beat for tempering. It also servos to prevent cracking when tho file is sudden.; plunged into the oooling liquid whlob gives tho file the temper. Naturally a heated die suddenly coolod will warp more or less aocordlng to its form. This is prevented by giving the file a '-set" in the other direction before it U tempered, so that the tendency to warp actually straightens the file. When the steel bos reached the proper heat, tbo file is lifted from the fire by the tang and suddenly immersed in cold water, and before It baa grown cold it is withdrawn and pui In a screw chimp, which koeps it from curving or bonding. Tho tang is then sof toned by sticking It in nieltod lead.aLd then the Qlo is cleaned, dried and oiled.?Chicago Heoord.

HOW TO TELL DELFT^ 11 DifereaoM Rent and InU j tmtlon Are JInrked. Color Is tbe most important consideration in deriding whether or not alleged delft is genuine. I Hue delft must not be too blue to lie real. The natural colof of tbe ware is a pure white. Its ! tpxture Is of a hardness greatly resem! Wing porcelain. The only th!n^ in delft that is legitimately blue is the design or figures. These are of a deep indigo tint, the production of which is one of the secrets of Holland. For more than two ccnturies potters all over tbe world have striven to Imitate delft ami have failed. The latest attempts have been made in I>onn. Germany. "Ileal" delft is as different from the Bonn product as sill; is from satin. In the first place Bonn delftware is soft and not unlike majolica. A slight chip in tbe glaze reveals its claylike texture. Then. too. the ware Itself la blue, which Is an unpardonable fault The coloring of the design s?*ems to have spread over its entire surface. Divergences In portraits aud pictures re one of tbe distinguishing marks of real delft. It is all painted by band. No machine ever comes in contact with It Bonn delft is In a striking contrast Absolute uniformity is obtained by the use of stcncils ana inncuine mum? uuilinos. Contrary to the belief of some collectors, there'Is no Intrinsic merit in old delft The kind that comes fi.iin the potteries today is quite as fine nnd more beautiful in desixu than its predecessor.

Johnson showed conspicuously his bravery. The American troops were confronted by the allied forces of the English and Indiana. The conflict was short, but desperate, the Americans being victorious.

Tbe Kiprrlmtat Llkel? to Be Tried la Nriv York State. Commenting on the enforced Idleness >f convicts in tbe state penal lnstituions. the New York Tribune ?ay? edlorially: Tbe suggestion which was some time Lgo made in these columns that ableXk1I?*<1 Inmates of prisons and penlten:iarie? be set at work building improved oads seems at hist to be acti>d upon to V i considerable extent and wltb gratifyng results. Tbe convicts In the state j prisons ore as a rule otherwise employ?d, but those in charge of tbe penlteninrics lmvp not been able to nrovlde work lu prison shops for tbe prisoners inder their control and so have sought t outside. In eight or more counties )f this state the penitentiary prisoners \ ire employed either at roadbuildlng ' >r at crushing scone for roadbulldlng. [t Is not known that any bad effects lave been experienced from the undertaking. while the good effects are numerous and obrlous. Among the latter these are conspicuous: The prisoners i _ ?i 1 ? i < ?. i i a * .< nave nit* pujTBn.ili uuu iuunu ucut-ui ui healthful lalwr lu the open air; the prisjners are made to pay their way initead of being a heavy charge upon the immunity; the construction of good roads la promoted, aud the t out of them la decreased. and the number of prisoners Is diminished. for tramps and other "sons of rest" avoid counties where committal to the penitentiary means stone breaking and roudbuildlng. It may be ndded that one of the chief objections to the system?the offensive parading of convicts in the public view ?has been found groundless, for no one would take the nenitentiary prison era working on the roads to be other than ordinary laborers. There Is reason to believe that this system might prolitably and properly be extended throughout the state and be applied to the inmates of state prisons as well as of penitentiaries, when other work fails. The prisoners might also be employed at repairing and maintaining the roads after tbey are built Most of the prisoners at Sing Sing are now at work, but It is not long since most of them were idle and were seriously suffering, morally and physically, from enforced Idleness, and a* t.-UMn n fntv Imiipn' HrifA fmm Osslnlng are hundreds of miles of roads that are ia their badness a reproach to the community and a cause of vexation and of actual pecuniary loss to all who are compelled to use them. We do not mean, of course, that counties and towns are to wait until prisoners can be secured to build fcood roads. But whenever and wherever ablebodled prisoners are Idle the reproach of bad roads is aggravated two fold. All roads should be made and kept good, and all prisoners who are able to work should be kept at healthful and profitable work. Those are two rules which should be constantly observed and between which an Intimate relationship Is to be found. FREE RURAL DELIVERY. CMtlauaee of (he Serrlc* D?pe>di on Good Road*. In the forthcoming report of Superintendent Macbin of the free delivery service tbere will be au extended,discussion of tbe necessity of good roads In tbe extension and maintenance of the service. Heretofore it has been required that in tbe establishment of tbe service llrst consideration should be given to the condition of the roads. It. has developed that inspectors have only ? superticiallj considered this question. llecent oillcial inquiries disclose tbe fact that a portion of the roads of more than 1.000 of the 4.300 routes now in operation requires some repairs. While the roads in the southwestern states, as a rule, are in good condition there are sections wbere repairs are resaruea as essential in order that an uninterrupted service may prevail during all tbe year. Several months ago announcement was made that there were routea In Wisconsin. Illinois. Minnesota, the Dakotas and Iowa where the servicc would be discontinued unless repairs and improvements reported to the department as necessary were made. In most of these eases the warning of the department has been heeded. It Is evident. however, in several instances that no serious consideration has been given to tbe announcement of the postmaster general in this connection. In such cases tbe department Is advising road supervisors and other Interested olllcials that the lack of care given to the roads covered by rural routes will, if continued, endanger the permanency of tbe service. In discussing tbis question today Superintendent Machiu expressed the opinion that rural delivery would eventually solve the question of good roads. Good Roads and Farm Valves. While it Is true that statesmen, financiers and other citizens of the Empire State are perfectly aware of the advantages which would accrue from the possession of smooth and permanent roads. It Is equally certain that there la need of substantial argument and demonstration In the matter among residents of the rural districts, says the New York Sun. Such residents, naturally enough, vigorously opjxise the Imposition of additional taxes for Improvements which, they declare, would benefit rich people more Immediately than others. Most farmers overlook the fact that better highways would enable them to draw heavier loads ~ U'Alltd than mey are aun- iu uiu? m..., .. ? entail less wear .and tear ui>on tbelr wagons, would Rave mucb time In transportation and would considerably Increase the value of tbelr farm property.
