Making Money out of Pancakes;

The Belfast Me, Journal tells how
an enterprising woman is making money
there: sit is not on that article of diet
made by the our grandmothers that we
are to speak, but pancake of a less di-
gestible nature manufactured at the Bel
fast shoe factory. Nothing in the shape
of leather is allowed to go to waste in
that Institution. Even the shavings
from the sole leather have their use, and
from them the pancakes are made These
shavings are placed upon table before
the operatives, who separate and careful
ly spread them ont within small cast
ing with paste, in layers, like raisins in
a box-frst leather, then paste, and the
whole Patted down compactly. When a
cake is completed, it is about one foot in
length, four inches wide, and half an
inch in thickness. They are then laid
away TO dry, and in three or four days are
ready for use, which is to be cut up into
inner heel lifts. Their manufacture is
not very pleasant job, as the girls who
make them are up to their elbows in
paste. When the factory first started,
this work was given to Alma House at
four cents per cake. She became 40 ex-
pert that she could easily make 100 per
day. Being an enterprising woman, and
seeing money ahead, she contracted
with the proprietors for the sole manu-
facture, at four cents apiece, and then
hired help. To-day she has an apart
ment off the sale-room, and employs six
women, who turn out from 300 to 400 a

THE little love feast meeting was the

The Pancake Hero of the Rebellion.

A correspondent'af the Albany Argus
writes a good story kom Burnt Hills,
Saratoga County, concerning one Thos.
Murray. He says: If there isany man
who crawls between Heaven and earth
who can cook pancakes better and faster
than Tom, let him put his money up
and it will be covered. Tom baked
pancakes for a whole army corps, and
he did nothing else while there. Your
correspondent drove seven miles in a
rain storm to meet Tom, who readily
entered into a conversation with the
writer. "Tom," inquired your CORES
pondent, eff you baked so many pam
cakes, don't see how you creased the
griddle fast enough" "Why," replied
the champion pancake baker, "you must
know If had griddle thirty feet in cir
cumference, and I kept two darkies
with large pieces of pork strapped to the
soles of their feet, skating around on the

GFrom the Davenport Qowa) Gazstte.l
The belated Union Pacific train that
arrived in Council Bluffs about half-past
II Sunday morning met with an expert
ence of hail near Potter's Station, some
two hundred miles west of Omaha, on
Tuesday evening. The hail fell with
such frightful force as to compel the
train to stop. The stones were of i'm
mense size, being on an average three
inches in diameter. Within five minutes
from the time the first etor struck the
cars there was not a whole light of glass
on the south side of the train, the entire
length of it. The windows in the Pull
man cars were of French plate, three
eighths of an inch in thickness, and
double. The dome Of the engire looked
as though it had been pounded with a
heavy weight, and the wood work on the
south side of the cars was ploughed up
as if some one had struck It all over with
siding blows from hammer. Severa of
the ladies tainted, and Mrs. Earle, wife
of the Mountain Division Superintend-
ent of the road, went into spasms. Sey-
eral persons were more or lees injured.
The bombardment lasted about twInty
minutes, and was OF unexampled fury.
When the train arrived at Grand Island
the windows were timed over the entire
length of the train.

The Story of a Thousand-D Dollar Bill.
[FrOm the Baltimore Gazette.l

From the Baltimore Gazette.l
The death of Josiah Cobb recalls a
singular incident of his life. About the
year 1929 colored woman named Sarah
Ridgely called at Mr.. Cobb's grocery
store and purchased a small amount of
groceries, giving him a thousand-dollar
bank note in payment, thinking that it
was One-dollar note. Supposing that
it was stolen, he detained the bill, and
advertised for an owner repeatedly, but
no one claiming it he invested it in city
stock. Several false claimants appeared
for the note, and it was the subject of
several lawsuits, which terminated in
Mr.. Cobb remaining custodian of the
fund. The history of one of these claim
ants was as follows: Mr.. Cobb one day
was conversing about the money with
man who made so many particular in
quiries that Mr.. Cobb mistrusted his
motive, and told him the woman was
dark and had large wen on the side of
her neck, when in fact she was a mulat-
to and had no snch wen. Shortly after
a very dark woman with large wen on
her neck appeared from the Baltimore
Almshouse and claimed that she was
the Sarah Ridgely but the fraud was
easily exposed, and up to this time the
woman who left the bill has not been
heard from. Mr.. Cobb allowed the
money to remain with accumulated in
terest until 1866, when il amounted to
1910, and he then presented it TO the
Union Orphan Asylum.

The Power Of Dry Sand.

According to Beaudemoulin, If a
quantity of dry sand be placed in box
of thin sheet-iron, or even in a canvas
bag, and subjected to slight compress
sion, it forms a mass capable of resist
ing pressure of sixty tons, without
breaking or even straining the envelope
The sand, however, remains perfectly
divisible, 40 that if small hole be
made in the box or bag it will flow slow
ly, and with SO little force that even a
small piece of paper pasted over the op-
ening will check the flow. even with the
sixty tons weight upon it. NJ. Bean
demoulin thinks this discovery may be
utilized for building purposes, since the
filled boxes need merely be held in place
by framework; while being very thick.
they would form n protection for dwell
ings against variations Of Temperature.
Such walls, moreover would be fire.
proof 1t is also suggested that for low
ering heavy buildings, or even entire
buildings, which by change Of street
levels, have been left too high above the
roadway, the sand -bags could be placed
beneath, and their contents allowed
gradually to escape, thus letting the
load slowly settle down.

A Portuguese Sportsman.

He had some experience of woodcock,
hare, and red-legged partridge shooting,
and likewise of hunting, with dog and
gun, wolves, which he never by any
chance shot. This fact does not astonish
any body who has seen Portuguese gun
loaded. A small handful of native and
almost harmless powder, little grass or
a leaf or t7'r md an equal handful of
shot of ala sizes, rammed dowd with
huge wad upon it of extempore manu-
facture, constitute the charge. The
gun is fired. the wolf escapes, and, what
more remarkable than this, the sportman
who holds the gun also escapes. The
dogs are usually as unsuccessful as their
masters in catching the deet-footed wolf;
nevertheless, the VOL continues to be
the favorite sport of the Portuguese,
The good padre had many thrilling
stories of uncaught wolves, and was
moreover, eloquent in his accounts of
the thrush shooting about Coimbra and
the crow shooting near Oporto. "Crowsl
Are they game birds? You cannot eat
them, can yeu?" "To be sure I can;

The First FInger-RIng.

An amusing myth is told Of the ORR
gin of the fnger-ring: When Jove re-
leased Prometheus from the iron bonds
by which he had been confined, he COM
demned him, as a sort Of penance-per-
haps somewhat after the fashion oi
modern ticket-Of leave-to wear upon
his finger, as a ring, link Of the iron
chain that bound ham 70 the Caucasian
rock, in which was set n fragment Of the
rock itself In this way, so fable goes,
the custom Of the 6nger-ring originated.
There is every reason 20 believe that
this use Of the engraved stone began
with the Greeks, and from them was
copied by their servile initatorn, the
Romans. II is every way a convenient
and a natural one; and our grand-fath-
ers' custom Of wearing their seals as the
fob, as il was called, or hanging from
the side-pocket, was a recurrence 60 old
Assyrian usages, which did not long
hold its ground.

Mr.. Crouch's Choice whisky.
n the jamestown Journal.

From the jamestown Journal.
Close upon the shore of Lake Winnie
piseogee is a town, and in that town
dwells man whom we will call Crouch.
Mr.. Crouch keeps store; as he il
genial. accommodating man, he keeps
for sale everything which the good peo-
pie in the country can reasonably expect
him to keep. Particularly has it been
barrel of whisky on tap in the cellar.
One in the Fall and the other in the
Spring will generally carry him through,
He is very careful to whom he sells,
and, so far as is known, the authorities
have never given him any trouble.
One day Mr.. Eliphalet Spooner enter
ed the store with slight protuberance
visible upon his left breast. Mr.. Spoon
er was deacon, and a most proper
man. He called the merchant aside
and asked him if he had any good
whisky. Crouch nodded in the afirma
tive
"Will you let me have a pint p' and
the deacon pulled from his breast pock-
ct pint bottle.
Certainly" said the trader; and
forthwith he departed. for the cellar.
When he returned he brought the full
bottle, carefully wiped and corked.
"What is to pay ?"
"Fifty cents"
Mr.. Spooner handed him over a fifty
cent scrip, and then, in hesitating way
drew the cork. He placed the bottle to
his lips, and tasted, just a drop, to test
the quality of the liquor. He did lhis
twice, and the expression on his face
was one of hesitation and doubt.
"Mr. Crouch" he said, "I'm getting
this for my wife. Is this the very best
you have?"
"Oh you want it for medicine"
ayes, certainly"
"If that is the case" the sentence
was finished with smile, and reaching
forth for the bottle, down into the cellar
went the store xeeper again. There was
no need that he should empty the bottle
and refill it, for he had bnt one solitary
barrel from which to draw, SO he took 6
turn around and soon came back, wipine
the bottle afresh.
81 shall have to charge you eighty
seven cents for this, Mr.. Spooner."
Having paid the extra charge will
the utmost cheerfulness, Mr.. Spoons
placed the bottle again to his lips anc
tasted critically.
"Ah ~ he muttered with a brigh
smile and grateful nod "This
something like"
And he went away entirely satisfied
And Mr. Crouch, also, appeared to be sa;
isfied, if one might judge from the quie
smile that illuminated his rubicund Wis
age.

Tree Culture.

Tree culture in the United States is
becoming quite extensive. Under the
act Of Congress offering one hundred
and sixty acres of land TO any person
who would plant forty acres Of them to
trees and cultivate them for eight years,
about one thousand one hundred per-
sons, il is stated. had taken up one hun
dred and seventy thousand acres of land
in Minnesota, up to January. BY the
effort of the State and private and asso-
ciated effort, it is estimated that twenty
million trees are now growing in Mime
sofa, besides those planted under the
Congressional act. A report on the sub
ject says that the cost Of planting and
cultivation is marveIlously small, in
many cases not exceeding from two TO
Eve cents a tree. The artificial culture
of trees is coming more and more in
vogue in California, and the demand
for young trees to set out, this spring, is
said to be very large.

How A Chicago Girl got her "Feller"
Out of the Army.

Last April fine looking dry goods
clerk employed in Mandel Bros, in an
hour of dependency, enlisted in the
army. He was engaged to be married
sto handsome lady of eighteen, and
when she heard of il her distress can on
ly be imagined, for a common soldier
she coald not wed. His father, who. by
the way, is Methodist minister, did
everything in his power to have him re-
leased, but without effect. The young
lady ther took the matter in hand. She
saw General Logan and Congressman
Farwell, and with their signatures to a
petition for discharge, forwarded it to
Washington. In due time the answer
came stating that the PRAYER could not
be granted. The gentlemen informed
her that when they went to Washington
in December they would make another
effort. Learning that General Belknap,
Secretary of War, was in the city, she
got letter of introduction to him. She
determined to call on General B. at the
Grand Pacific yesterday afternoon. He
granted her an audience, heard her
story, satisfied the young man would
make her good husband, and wrote out
a discharge. When she asked the Gen
eral how she could repay him, he gal
lantly replied, "With kiss, which she
gave him. Last evenings mail carried
the important paper to the Indian Ter
ritory. The father, who is better off in
this worlds goods than most people who
follow his calling, has promised to sei
his son up in business, and is very

Agricultural Industry.

At the Westehester Fair in New York
Hon. John Jay stated that the demand
for our corn and provision bids fair to
increase from the military policy which
on the Continent is converting nations
into armies, and withdrawing SO large
a number of agriculturists from the
work Of production, TO play, with pomp
and circumstances and siege and carnage,
the game of war. At Vienna the pre-
MUM for superior execution, which, for
the harvest of death, was awarded to the
cannon of Krupp, was justly accorded
for our better harvest to American reap
schedules, gives us some idea of the
great rural industry on which chiefly
depends our natural prosperity, and in
an increasing degree in the life of the
world. Our improved acres. which in
1850 numbered lis, 100000, rose in 1860
TO 163, 200, 900, and in 1870 to 1S8, ,000.-
600. The cash value of our farms in
1850 was So, ,271, ,0OO, 900; in 1860 $685.
100000, and in 1870, $9,292, ,000, 900,
having all but trebled in twenty years.
So the value of our farming implements
and machinery, which in 1850 was S151,
100000, was in 1870 $685., 900, 900, and
the value of our live stock an 1850,
S544, 900, 900, was in 1860 81 ,O39, 9,0OO, 900,
and in 1870 81 ,525, 100000. The Com
missioner of Agriculture declares that
but a fifth of the United States is map
ped into farms, that Of this farm area
the average return per acre could be
doubled. 1t was recently stated in the
British Parliament that while the rent
al of land in ireland had doubled dur
ing the previous hundred years and that
of England had tripled. the rental Of
Scotland had multiplied six times dur
ing the same period. This was attribut-
ed to the superior school system Of
Scotland and to the skill and enterprise
it had fostered among the people. When
the same intelligence which is exhibited
in other businesses shall govern the
agriculture of this country-and il de-
mands of this intelligence an equal
share to enable US to bend the forces of
nature and art to complete our dominion
over the earth-our broad continent
may be equal to all demands to be made
upon it in the future by our own people
and the rest of mankind.
