A net which has done good service,
made by Majo, j G. Thompson, of

Two pieces of common batten about

one for the bottom and one for the top.
From the end o. the Bottom piece
wooden shoe of the same material raa
back about six feet to steady the strap
and serve as a runner. To the rear
end of this shoe a similar piece was
ia stoned by a hinge, and ran forward
and was fastened to the top piece OF
the frame, SO that the mouth OF the
trap would open and shut like a jaw.
To hold the mouth open, two short up-
j hit posts were fastened to the top
piece by hinge, and rested upright
upon the bed-piece The netitseIf was
made of cotton cloth for the bottom,
and the top was made Of mosquito net

Similar machines have been drawn
by horses hitched to each side OF the

and blue; his dreams were troubled
through the night with sheriff's bailiffs
all in sight. At last his wife unto him
said, "Rise up at once-get out of bed;
and get your paper, ink and pen, and
say these words unto all men sMy
goods / wish to sell to you, and to your
wives and daughters, toe; my prices

vised, and in the papers advertised.
Crowds came and bought off all he had !;
his notes were paid, his dreams were
glad; and he will tell you to this day
how well did printers ink repay. He
told us, with a knowing wink, how he
was saved by printers ink.

A Turkish Bath at Indianapolis.

Epstein, of the Occidental barber
shop, has established q Turkish bath.
A Turkish bath is taken as follows:
You disrobe and step into a furnace,
and recline on a gridiron cot, over a bed
of glowing Goals. Owe didn't see the
Goals, but that's the way it felt.) They
begin firing up, and it gets hotter and
hotter. Your thoughts naturally tend
toward the robust doctrines of eternal
punishment enunciated by John Calvin,
mixed with a little speculation on the
time when the earth will be rolled up
as a scroll, and the elements will melt
with fervent heat. You pant, and gasp,
and something sputters inside your
head like frying brains. You think
that can't be, however; for no man
with brains to fry would voluntarily
come into such a hell. By and by an
attendant brings you a glass of water,
and it Kisses down your red-hot throat.
You wish it had been a churn instead
of a glass. Then you distinctly feel
something break inside of you in the
lumbar region, and run down like mutt
ton tallow. You can't be mistaken in
this. It's your kidney-fat melting.
Then the sweat breaks out all
over you, and you obtain some
relief. Next you are taken
into another room, and laid out on a
marble slab. A naked attendant, who
can't speak more than a dozen words
of English, and consequently misunder-
stands every appeal for mercy as a
command to use more vigor, then takes
you in hand. After carefully dislo-
eating the more important joints, he
proceeds to the muscles. He strips
them down, tearing them loose from
the upper attachment, and then strips
them back, tearing them loose at the
lower end. Then he gives them a o
tary grinding with his knuckles, after
which he kneads and pounds in a mis-
cellaneous fashion. When one side is
done he turns you, and goes over the
other in the same way. Not a single
muscle is missed, and by the time he is
through you feel as if you had been fed
into a bark-mill. You are then soaped
and scrubbed and showered, and final
ly laid out in an adjoining room to cool.
Here you are repaid for the torture you
have endured by a delightful conscious
ness of being clean, and a dreamy,
delicious languor, not unmixed with

Yankee girls are 10Y cutting and
polishing diamonds. The art has been
monopolized by Amsterdam experts,
who have uniformly refused to teach
any apprentices except Dutch boys OF
their own selection. Henry D. Morse,
after employing Dutch diamond-cutters
in Boston for many years, learned the
secrets of the trade. He opened a shop
in Roxbury, and privately taught six
or eight young women this mysterious
occupation. He finally appraised his
Dutch workmen that American boys
must be taught by them. They peremp-
torily refused to instruct the appren-
tices. He then discharged them, and
