The Leech Trade,

One OF the trades carried on in tbe
Landes, south of Bordeaux, in France
is chat of propagating leeches in the
meres near the bay. Formerly the Gus
tom was to use miserable, WORKOUT
norses but these poor animals were
found by the propagator to wear out too
soon-the veins opened by the leeches
dld not heal, and so the life's blood could
not be renewed. Now the COW has IN
do duty to the young onnelides. FRIGHT
ened haggard, but resigned, the animal
submits with stupid kind of astonish-
ment to the attacks of clusters of leecbes
hanging on its legs: and when the mo-
ment OF utter exhaustion comes she is
sent off to her pasture to renew life and
a fresh repast. Two weeks
suince for each process, alternately car.
red on, until death puts an end TO belnp
eaten in detail. The owner of about
eight hundred acres of marsh supnlies
yearly two hundred cows for the nour-
OF about eight hundred tbou-
sand leeches he buys the animal for
TWO pounds and sells the carcass for siy-
zen shillings. The ass is sometimes en-
o,loyed, but it proves to be less resigned
nan the more patient COW it kicks. and
and tries to bite; and when nj
ength 1t falls into the water under
he storm of its numerous enemies
becomes mad with terror That
his culture of leeches forms an i'm.
'ortant branch of trade to the inbabi.
ants OF the Bay of Arcachon, NAV he
eheved when it is known that mil.
on and half of leeches are ANNUALLY
xported from Bordeaux.

A Secret Poison.

According TO the Medical Press ana
Circular of London, a new "secret poi
son" has been discovered across the AT.
lantic. Its deadly character may be in.
ferred from the statement that /: y" By n.
inhalation simply through the medium
OF letter sent by post in the ordinary
way, the reader will suddenly drop down
dead, with all the symptoms of as
phyxia." An English journalist, com
mentlng upon this statement, remarks
that the same subtle poison appears to
be In use in Canada, and adds &" The
following clipping from a Canadian paper
on the death of person of note, looks
very ugly :: He received an ANONYMOUS
letter, and, while reading it, he fell down
insensible, and shortly after expired. II
is said the letter contained some poison
GUS substance. We suspect that this
is from some sensational story
paper, the pages Of which always abound
IN these startling effects. Hydrocvanic
lcid, better known as Prussic acid. ia
The only known poison which acts with
'uch deadly activity as this, and it is not
easily obtained of the requisite strength
Except by chemists, Suicides use il oc-
'aslonally, as it does not distort the
lmbs or features, and it leaves no telltale
mel behind it except faint scent of al
nonds.

HE OLDEN TME.-The ancients used
10 indulge in practical Jokes to n con.
siderable extent for instance, the Thra

sl played the game of hanging. They
hxed a round moose to the Dough of n
tree, and placed underneath it n s}one a.
such q shape that it would easily turn
around when any one stood ON IL. Then
they proceeded to draw lots, and the
man who drew lot took sickle in his
n nand' stood on the stone, and put his
neck into the halter Then the Stone
was kicked away if he could cut himself
down with his sickle, well and Good
but If he was not quick enough he was
hanged outright "and the rest Iaugbed

A NEW INVENTION FOR THE MANuFAc.
TORY OF NAns.-An English inventor
mas taken out patent for q new method
OF making nails. From his speci6ca-
ton we learn that the method is sub-
stantially as follows: The inventor
forms flat bars or strips of wrought iron
IN the ordinary machinery. While the
bars or strips so formed are still hot he
passes them between a pair of shaping
rolls. One of these rolls is a plain
cylinder, and the other roll has the pen.
erai figure of a cylinder with a series Of
incline or steps made on its cylindrical
surface, the said incline or steps of the
roll having such conformation that the
par rolled between itand the plain cylin-
der roll has in longitudinal section the
inquire of series of headless nails Joined
together shank to point. While still
not, the shaped bar or strip is slit into
nan n rods by series of circular slitters.
the whole bar being simultaneously slit
up by the said slitters into nail rods
These nail rods when cold are fed into a
heading machine, by which the nails are
headed and cut off from the nail rod
me heading and cutting off machine
which he employs differs in no essential
aspect from other machines commonly
iseo Tor heading and cutting off nails.

Hints to POeticaI Advertisers

1.-The Flaneur" in London Societv has
new idea: Advertising, as an art, is
at very low ebb among us and though
we have imported certain wrinkles from
America, much remains to be done.
Poetical advertisements seem to have
died out with Warren's backing, but
they might be made very effective and
the products of the day would offer ex-
ceilent subjects. Thus

Calcutta Rohhers

The following account of an attemnt
at highway robbery in Calcutta shows
the ingenuity of rascals is not vet ex-
hausted
On the afternoon of January 10 the
daily remittance from the custom house
to the Bank of Bengal, at Calcutta was
carried as usual in money chest on n
wheelbarrow, drawn by some coolies and
accompanied by n chowkidar of police
and custom house clear When the
party had reached within n short dis
lance of the bank, on the Strand road. n
daring feat was attempted. A man.
seemingly q European, with his face
masked, and mounted on a powerful
horse, came up to the chest. suddenly
producing from under his clothes a small
piece of bamboo, with hook attached
to one end and knife to the other.
Inc bamboo itself was attached to his
waist with long rope. He threw it on
the chest, and, the hook catching the
IRON handle of the box, he lifted it up by
means of the rope. and commenced
riding along at rapid pace.
Ihe whole of the proceedings. which
ild not occupy more than few seconds.
staggered the partyin charge of the box
md the man might have successfully
made away with the money had it not
'een for its weight, which broke the
handle of the box. The box fell to the
round and the man rode away out of
light before any one attempted to seize
llm. The box contained 10000 rupees,
,oOO rupees being in silver, and the rest
checks and notes. The police have
ot yet succeeded in getting any trace of
he man, who thus, in the middle Of The
