Nor A Coop WAY.--The story is told
of Mr.. Jones, who, one evening in flv-
time, having been provokingly dashed in
the face, tied the tail OF the COW he was
milking very securely to his hoot-strap.
EVERYTHING went on smoothly for a time,
and Mr.. Jones congratulated himself on
the stratagem. Presently, however, the
COW took a notion TO lash fly that was
biting her. Mr. Jones chnckled some
when he felt the pull at his boot strap !;
bnt his chuckling was soon cut short. for
" Bessie" finding she could not touch
her tormentor, suddenly started, and, as
Mr.. j. was not prepared for such de
monstration, he was upset and the CON
tents of the pail distributed over his
person. The COW stopped for moment,
but in that time our hero had gained his
feet an instant after he was seen with
his hand on the hip of the COW making
the tour of the farm-yard with prodig-
ions hops upon one foot. At every hop
he would calculate. $50 Boss, so Boss"
but "Bos," didu't $50 worth cent
At last the boot attachment gave away,
and Mr.. Jones returned to the house a
wiser if not a sadder man.

RoUGH DEALING WITH THE JEWS N

Poland has not met with ready ohedi-
ence. The long coats have indeed been

The curls have undergone similar treat

are not as skillful in handling the needle

most part renamed as short as before.
The provision exciting most resistance is
that OF ordering the chm to be shaved.
BARRIERS work seems ticklish matter 70,
policemen 90 undertake; the Jews OF the
other hand venerate their boards almost
as sacred thing. They would as soon
think of cutting their throats as their
boards. The Warsaw police still allow
the latter. stunning an application of
force as likely to produce disturbance,
but in provincial towns u crusade has
been opened against them. At Goica,
the police began the campaign by an ex-
pertinent on an old man of about eighty
years of age, who was perfOrce spoiled
of his beard in the public market place.
The old mans cries speedily attracted
numbers Of fellow creedsmen anxious to
rescue their Nestor. No better oppor.
tunity could have been desired. As
fast as the men arrived they were seized,
forced into chairs, and shaved in rather
too hurried a manner to be pleasant.
The lamentations of the helpless victims
are described as most touching.

One WAY TO BUILD BRDoE.-The

designated time should be provided with

city ali assembled, whereupon the Off
GERS caused each avenue of the public

the beggars to strip off their old clothes,

The London Builders Strike.

II would appear that the bnildint

OF 1859, 80 bitterly remembered by botl
sides in the dispute. Already the masons
have made up their quarrel with the
Central Association OF Master Builders,
on the ground Of n compromise and
although the carpenters are still holding
out against an arrangement 10 which
they were only asked to he parties after
the act, there can he little doubt that
the lead given by the far more powerful
and better organized body will he fol.

Sd instant, il seems, the Society masons,
IN n special meeting, empowered n dep
utation Ia seek an interview with the
Committee OF the Masters, with full
powers to come 10 terms. u that were
found possible. The interview took
place on the 9th, when the deputation
succeeded in ITS mission, by giving mp

which all the trades in unison had been
supposed to contend-the "bine hours

been made, under which, during twelve
weeks of winter. they will give shorter

The substantial compromise, however,
has been made on the question of pay
the masons and the masters having
agreed to split the difference, and fixed
the rate of wages in future ut SD. per

returning on the general ques-

CANNED FRUITS. Every year about
this time, and later, our exchanges are
full of cases of poisoning by havine eaten
fruits canned IN metallic jars. The fol-
lowing statement of the dangers incurred
in allowing the fruit to come in contact
with any metal is of great value, and the
recommendation given by the Boston
JOu'nm Of Chemistry should be needed by
all "Ihe impression prevails among
those who use fruit freely, which are put
up in tin cans, that they are injured
thereby, and this impression is in many
cases correct. We have long contended
that all preserved fruits ard vegetables
should be stored in glass, and that no
metal of any kind should he brought
in contact with them. All fruits contain
more or less of vegetable acids, and
others that are corrosive are often form
ed by fermentation. and the metallic
vessels are considerably acted upon.
Tin cans are held. together by solder, an
alloy into which lead enters largely.
This metal is easily corroded by vege ia
bic acids, and poisonous salts are formed
undoubtedly many persons are greatly
injured by eating tomatoes, peaches,
ETC., which have been placed in tin cans,
and we advise all our friends who con
template putting up fruits the present
summer to nse only glass Jars for the
purpose"
