A Valuable Klichener Relic. The Office of Works, Storey's- gale, Westminster, annonccaN that the Trustees under the will of the late Lord Kitchener have loan cently deposited two valuable examples of the armoarer's craft. The first of these is a pair of saddle-stoela and the second s Japanese sword blade made by the master, Masamuten, about the your 1390. The tang bears in gold the signature of Honami Koyo, a celebrated swordsmith of the early eighteenth century, who bears witness to the authenticity of the blade. The metal is, after over five hundred years, in pre- cisely the same state of perfection it came from the maker's hande, and, like the modern in fantry sword recently given to the Armouries by the Japanese Government, is a notable example of the reverential care bestowed in Japan on the sword from the
