Industrial Items Before the Nine- teenth Century.

BY C. B. BAGSTER. ~-NUMBER 1.

There are few statements more self-evi- dent or true in overhauling the industries of our ancestors than that familiar Latinism, ‘“‘Tempora mutanur, et nos mutamur in illis.” The popular demand nowadays. through labor and discovery has so distanced the re- quirements of ‘‘ yeolde tyme before us” that the antiquated channels leading up to the evolutions of modern art and present science lie either within the vapor graves of mythdom or are classed with the crudes of antiquity.

This is so much the case with special industry that a few allusions te the indus- trial landmarks of a backward but glorious past cannot fail to interest the readers of Tue Examiner, since what was can scarce- hold a less instructive place with all lovers of true progress that what now is in this wonderful nineteenth century of discovery, advancement and result, Our paper on iron and steel, has to dip in the long ago times of Boaz and the institutions of the Eleusinian mysteries; we shall go back nearly 1,400 years before the Christian era; for according to tradition the first iron find oceurred upon Mount Ida (discovered by the Dactyles), after a forest had been des- troyed there (anno 1432, B. C.,) by the agency of lightning. Some 300 years earlier, however, we are informed (see Gen. iv., 22;) that Tubal Cain was an instructor of artiticers in iron. The Greeks ascribed to themselves the discovery of iron, and perhaps, if its early utilities are taken into account, the claim would not be without some genuine foundation.

The compound of iron and carbon we now call steel (derived from the Anglo- Saxon word, style) as a natural product has been under fabrication from the earliest times; for it is known that the Egyptians, Assyrians and Greeks had it in use.

Coal in the manufacture of iron is said to have been employed at Marche-les-Dames, Belgium, A. D. 1340.

The names of Ralph Page and Peter Baude, of Sussex, England, are associated with a cast-iron industry, A. D. 1543. Godfrey Bochs used to “slit” iron into bars for smith-work in 1590.

Tinning iron was introduced into Eng- laud from Bohemia in 1681.

At the beginning of the eighteenth cen- tury, smelting was wholly dependent on a supply of wood-charcoal, and it was not till nesrly its close that wood-charcoal surren- dered to coal and coke.

Henry Cort, about 1781, invented the process termed “‘ puddling” ; but he did not live to reap the reward of his ingenuity for he died in the year 1800.

Reaumur discovered the direct process of making steel by immersing malleable iron in a bath of cast-iron, A. D. 1722. Benjamin Huntsman, of Handsworth, near Sheffield, England, had a manufactory of cast steel, A. D. 1740, and the manufac- ture of shear steel began at Sheffield on or a little before A. D. 1800.

These ancient data, brought into com- parison with the present development of the three leading departments of this in- dustry, viz., pig iron, manufactured iron, and steel, ought to be enough not only to show how far the modern man stands be- fore his ancient brother, but give also to his elastic imagination some clue to the ex- pleits of the wonder-workers of a great developing future.

The *“Times”-O' Donnell Suit.

Frank Hugh O'Donnell, in an interview on the 12th, said that upto February he had intended to treat his libel suit against the Times as a purely personal matter, At that time, however, Mr. Davitt wrote to him offering every assistance in Mr. Par- nell’s power to further his interests. On finding that Parnell was able to assist him he felt himself bound to regard the repre- sentation put forward on behalf of the Par- nellites for the better prosecution of the case. Downto ashort time before the trial began, Parnell had agreed with Davitt and other prominent Parnellites that the more fully the case was fought in the court the better it would be for the reputation of the home-rulers. Immediately before the opening of the trial, however, he heard through Davitt that Parnell was listening to other advisers, that the Liberals were impressing upon him the necessity of

djadopting a more cautious’ policy. Last

month, he himself was persuaded to pursue the same over-cautious policy which had led to the collapse of his entire case. He had desired that the evidence should be of the fullest nature, but two of the most distinguished liberal lawyers gave him un- sought advice, counselling him not to assist | the defence in fishing for evidence. It was undoubtedly known that the Times had

vincibles whose hands were red with the blood of the Phoenix park victims in order to procure evidence. It was urged that the Times’own evidence ought to justify the livels if any part of the case appeared to have been made out. Parnell, Davitt, Mc- Carthy, Sexton and others should have gone into the witness box and stated the facts.

O’Donnell continued : ‘I am ruined in consequence of this action. I remain un-

All of the best and most straightforward and courageous nationalists were heartily with me, desiring that the most complete in- quiry be made. ness of certain eminent advisers the case was ruined. Mr. Parnell, as regards the personal charges with reference to letters ascribed to him is entitled to consider the best course to be pursued in his own de- fense, but the Times’ charges effect the party My abortive contest with the Times more than ever proves the the true policy of the nationalists is to demand a

A Woman's Meeting.

At a meeting of a dozen ladies the other day to organize a lodge of the King’s Daugh- ters, the utter unfamiliarity of women with parliamentary law or even with the general idea of organization was somewhat humorous- ly illustrated. After they had sat looking at each other a trifle nervously for a while, one of them said : re 7 ell, here we are. What are we going tu

‘Oh, dear,’ said another, ‘I don’t ‘know but let us do something.’ 2

At last a young lady cuggoetedsimey might try not to say mean things about people until next meeting anyway. Everybody thought that would be nice. Just as they were adjourning, two hours later, a lady ex- claimed :

‘Oh, I suppose we ought to have a Presi- dent?’

‘ Why, of course we ought,’ said another.

‘I don’t suppose anybody will object to Mrs. Brown for ¢President,’ said a third. ‘ Let’s have her.’

‘All right* let’s,’ echoed the rest. And no body objected to names proposed for Seere- tary and Treasurer either.

A few days later the fair Secretary eonsult- ed a gentleman acquaintance as to how she should write up the minutes of the meeting.

‘Well, you ought to begin by saying whe was chairman of the meeting.’

‘Why, we didn’t have any chairman,’ said the girl.

‘Who, then, put the motions before the meeting ?’ asked the gentleman.

‘Oh we didn’t have any motions. Some- body would say she thought such a thing would be nice, and all the others would say they thought so too. That was all.’

‘It that was the case,’ laughed the gentle man, “you will have to set it down in the minutes that such and such measures were informally approved. But you must state clearly that the club was organized, and write out the name of the particular branch or lodge and .the constitution and by-laws you adopted, and then-—’

‘ But we haven't got any name,’ interrupted the girl. ‘ And we didn’t adopt any consti- tution and by-laws. What was the use? We all knew what we were there‘for, besides, we didn’t think of that.’—New York Sun. a

Some Seund Business Maxims.

Action is really the life of business.

Use every means to hold on to your home trade.

Great bargains can only be secured in any market by being on the spot.

Always keep your designs and business from the knowledge of others.

It is easy to sell goods if they are well suited to your trade and bought right.

Be courageous ; drop your best friend if he shows lack of honesty and integrity.

Avoid litigation as much as possible, for lawyers and costs eat up the principal.

Have the courage to discharge a debt \while you have the money in your pocket.

The man who borrows money and then borrows trouble is in sheol sure enough.

Prefer small profits and certain returns to large profits and uncertain settlements.

Difficulties, like thieves, often disappear at a glance ; therefore, always face a diffi- culty.

Punctuality in money matters leads to prosperity and confidence and the basis of credit.

In buying study carefully the wants of your trade and buy with that end always in view.

Be polite, prompt, decisive, civil and ob- liging to all your customers, and see that your clerks do likewise.

Study the history of current events ; make careful comparisons of the fluctuations in price, in demand and in supply, in order to guide your own operations by the lessons those facts impart.

Misrepresentation of anything never pays, and when you tell your customers that your goods are superior to those of your competi- tor, when you know the same to be false,you are simply putting in the wedge that will ultimately drive your trade away.

Remember that the golden rule of com- mercial life is probity. Act, therefore, honestly, uprightly and conscientiously in all matters of trade. Never misrepresent, falsify or deceive ; have one rule of moral life and never swerve from it, whatever may be the acts or opinions of other men. —Dry Goods Chronicle.
