There was the axe for slaughter, a dagger for cutting meat, a hammer for breaking bones, a saw and scrapers of various size the plunder of some barrow on Clun Downs. Under the slates of the bed lay a collection of slings. In this place Toller lived undiscovered for several months, issuing thence as occasion required in quest of food.
"And to show that there is gold too," suggested Alan, "we might as well take along, these gold 'scrapers, which won't bother us much," So these two pieces were strung on cords and suspended about the necks of the young treasure seekers. "And to-morrow," exclaimed Ned joyfully when all this was done, "we'll get down from here and get a bath." "Amen," added Alan earnestly.
"We make all of our axes and spear heads and knives and scrapers of flint," he said after a while. "It chips more easily than any other stone." After some time Flint and the boy left the stone yard. As they walked along, the old man pointed to a place in the hillside and said, "That is the gravel bed. From it we dig all the stone for our axes and spear heads."
How far this "pride of profession" extends is well illustrated by the Pittsburgh story of the street scrapers at their noon repast. MacCarthy, recently deceased, was the subject of eulogy, one going so far as to assert that he was "the best man that ever scraped a hoe on Liberty Street."
Lastly, those who studied at the French Exhibition of 1878 the hatchets, hammers, and scrapers, the bone implements, pottery, and weapons brought from different places, the inhabitants of which had no communication with each other, could not fail to notice in their turn how impossible it was to distinguish between them.
It grew denser as he came nearer. He found Bob Hart, in oilskins and rubber boots, bossing a gang of scrapers, giving directions to a second one building a dam across a draw, and supervising a third group engaged in siphoning crude oil from one sump to another. From head to foot Hart and his assistants were wet to the skin with the black crude oil. "'Lo, Dave! One sure-enough little spouter!"
The workmen take wooden scrapers and push the salt toward the walls of the basins and then shovel it up on the dikes and heap it into creamy cones that sparkle in the sunshine. The dikes are narrow, raised pathways beside the basins and between them. As you walk along on top of them, you can smell a faint violet perfume from the salt.
Here they design "wire meat safes," patent refuse burners, mud scrapers, and other weird contrivances that can be fashioned from biscuit tins, ruined houses and other débris, and issue these sheets for the guidance of the poor, long-suffering infantry. Once in a while they turn their attention to steel helmets, grenades, &c., so that their existence is almost justified.
No rain fell in October, and my brook became such a little brook that I dared to correct its ways. We spent a week with teams, ploughs, and scrapers, cutting the fringe and frills away from it, and reducing it to severe simplicity.
Philadelphia, perhaps more than any other American city, is famous for the profusion and beauty of its ironwork, wrought and cast. For the most part it took the form of stair rails or balustrades, fences and foot scrapers, and many are the doorways of little or no architectural merit which are rendered beautiful by the accompanying ironwork.
