ScAIEs.-Fairbanks Scales which have been
manufactured for nearly half century, are so
widely known as to need no commentator at
our hands. For heavy weights 1t has no equal.
Nearly every coal yard, mill and store in our
entire country use them, and every farmer
should have something Of the kind on his place.
The larger ones are convenient for weighing
cattle aud hay, and the small ones for pork,
beef, grain, g.. For their benefit We suggest a

BUILDING, IN PulLADEIPHIA.-rhe CITY
correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph in
his letter last week, has the following on Phila-
delphia's building operations:
The activity in our central city district in
tearing down and reconstructing is quite unu-
sual, and is perhaps owing to the near approach
Of the Centennial. As for the operations in the
suburbs it is impossible to chronicle even a
1.-THE of them Great efforts are In progress for
crop of new ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Methodist,
Baptist, Episcopal and otherwise. In tho north
western district several large and costly stone
churches are in progress, and numerous tempo
ray structures indicate the site of others. The
pay window Is becoming such rage that it bids
fair TO become as common as white shutters and
red brick fronts. Green serpentine is getting
quite popular. Several large churches and three
complete blocks Of houses have been built of
this material; also the new University, and the
unfinished Academy Of Natural Sciences. The
mansard roof also makes steady Roadway in
every variety of shape and ornament with peak
ed windows and round-topped windows, and
with the new fashioned high towers.
Whenever the architects or the builders are
hard up for a new effect they take trip to New
York 10 see the sights, or dip into the pictures
and accounts of Continental Europe. We shall
have all these things here after while. indeed
We have imported so many already that 1t Is be :

There Is row of ordinary brick dwellings in

arranged in successive terraces that look toward
the city with fine view.
The real estate market cannot be quoted buoy

future than the present., and have an eye TO the

too, the horse-cars are so crowded and uncom

10 the centre wards, wherever accommodation
can be had. The builders have right to com

not begin to keep pace with the extension Of til

The WEDDING FINGER. has BEEN
said and written about the wedding ring,
but the more lovely part engaged in the
mystic matter, the taper residence df
this ornament, has been neglected.
Now this is rather curious, as there are
facts which belong to the ring finger
which render it in peculiar manner an
appropriate emblem of matrimonial UNI
ion. It is the only finger where two
principal nerves belong to two distinct
trunks; the thumb is supplied with it's
principal nerves from the radical nerve
as is also the fore finger, the middle in-
ger, and the thumb side of the ring I'm
ger, while the ulner nerve furnishes the
little finger and the other side Of the
ring finger, at the point or extremity Of
which q real union takes place. It
seems as if it were intended by nature
to be the matrimonial finger. That the
side of the ring finger next the little iin-
ger is supplied by the ulnar nerve, is
frequently proved by common acci-
dent, that Of striking the elbow against
the edge of the chair, door, or any
narrow, hard substance; the ulnar nerve
is then frequently struck, and thrilling
sensation is felt in the little finger, and
on the same side of the ring finger, but
not on the other side of it.

but to live in the same house with her
is what would turn out pleasantly for
neither of us, and, once for all, can't
do it"
"Aunt Annie," said Tom, pushing
back his chair, and staring in mothers
excited face, "either you or I must be
out of our wits"
cts not me, then, at any rate," re-
torted mother, getting nettled.
Amusement and certain embarrass-
mont kept me silent istener 20 far,
but there was no standing this; tried
to speak, but could not for laughing.
~ think you are all out of your wits
together" said mother, turning to me
sharply. "What ails the child? It is
no laughing matter"
"You don't understand each other"
I gasped. "Oh, dear!-it's not Lefty
oh, dear!' and relapsed again.
"Not Letty!' repeated mother, turn
ing to Tom. "Then why didn't you
tel. me so?'
81 never told you So" said Tom.
"Why, yes you did, persisted..moth-
er. "You came in an told me you were
going to be married"
"Yes, so I am" said Tom, still at
cross-purposes.
"Now, Tom Dean," said mother ris-
ing and confronting him, "what do
you mean? Who is going to be your
wife?"
"Why, May, of course" answered
Tom.
"May! and then, after a pause of
inexpressible astonishment, it was
mothers turn to laugh. "Do you
mean to say, Tom, it was that child
you were thinking of all the timer
"Why, who else could it be?" asked
Tom simply.
"Well, said mother, "I ought to
have remembered you never do any
thing like anybody else. But still why
in the world did you so to work in such
a roundabout wayr'
"I wanted to see how you took my
idea," said Tom.
"And how did you suppose we were
to guess your idea meant May ?" moth
er asked.
"Who else could it be ?" repeated
Tom, falling back on what he evidently
found an unanswerable argument. 1t
was no use talking to him. Mother
gave it up with a shake OF her head.
"And You won't want another house
then, Aunt Anne ?" said Tom suddenly.
That set mother off again; Tom joined
with her, and altogether I don't think
we ever passed merrier evening than
the one that made me acquainted with
Toms wife.
