A CURIOUS INDUsTRY.-The principal
Industry oil the town Of West Falmouth,
Mass, is tying tags with bits of strings,
by which the tags may be attached TO ar
ticles which require to be labelled. A
correspondent writing from that village
says: These tags are cut elsewhere and
sent in bulk To West Falmouth. The
string is also sent in ske ins. The bust
ness here is to cut the string in suitable
lengths, tie one into each tag and return
it to the manufacturer in Boston. This
sounds simple enough and small enough,
and yet it furnishes occupation 10 be-
tween three hundred and four hundred
persons, and involves an elaborate sys
TEN Of book keeping. The business has
been carried on bya woman for the last
twenty years. The orders which were
once filled in a bushel basket now require
large freight boxes, and amount to an
aggregate Of forty millions of tags in a
year. The little pink strings are reeled
'off and cut in given lengths and punches,
each bunch having l0l strings. These
strings are given out by the l ,0l0, togeth~
er with corresponding number OF tags,
to people coming 10 the Office for them,
and are paid for at the rate of twelve to
seventeen cents thousand. Young chill
dren tie with their mothers, and even old
men, and it is the great source of pin
money Ia the community.

ABOUT year ago Hoole of The Chico
Enterprise had considerable trouble in
keeping the editorial position occupied on
that journal. He imported man from
New York, but the fellow proved worth
less, and Hoole shipped him and obtain
ed the services of minister instead.
Prior 20 his departure the New Yorker
sent number of dunning lettets to de-
lnquent subscribers. The minister had
been at his new vocation but a few
days when he received letter from a
mountain patron, which read rs follows:

my subscription to your paper the last

ceived last week. will come down and

ANTIDoTE TO PoIsoN.-If a person
swallows any poison whatever, or has
fallen into convulsion from having overs
loaded the stomach, an instantaneous
remedy, most efficient ard applicable in
large number Of cases, is heaping
teasp0onfrl Of common salt, and as much
ground mustard, stirred rapidly in tea,
cupful OF water, warm or cold, and swal
lowed instantly. it is scarcely down be-
fore it begins to come up, bringing with

MEN WHO ADVERTISE ON FENCES
1t is the general testimony Of success ful
business men that they have realized
their best returns in the way Of custom
from advertising in good newspapers Of
large circulation, and have got little or
no benefit from the money, expended in
wall posters, hand bills, circulars, adver-
tising on fences, etc. In fact, all these
Irregular modes of advertising are looked
upon by the public as sensational clap
trap, and do not inspire the confidence
that business like, clearly stated adver"
ti.ement in the columns ofa respectable
paper does. On this point the B ingham-
ton On. " Republican well says =" AS
M instance of the value of fence adver-
tising,' it may be mentioned that Of ff-
teen firms whose advertisements appear
on the fences and barns on certain road
leading out Of this city, only three are
now in existence, and one of them has
changed its location. There is Il ghastly
Earcasm in an invitation to purchase
goods at his establishment by man who
has lain in his grave for. two years" -
Mora. If you wish to die or do losing
business, advertise on a fence. If you
wish to live and get rich, advertise in n
respectable newspaper that has good
circulation among people who buy your

MURDERED BY SCANDAL MoNaERs.--
The post portem examination of lille
Munger, the gin who killed herself near
Rochester few weeks ago, showed that
she was not a d,shonored girl, and this
has led to the discovery that cruel gossip
had tainted her name, and that death by
her own hand was the only rest the poor
girl could find. When at last she was
bounded to this by the swlvel.tongued
persons of her own sex, who disseminate
the neighborhood news thereabouts, she
was not permitted to die in house, bu.

G0sSIPs AS MURDERERS.

1t is well known fact that the ma
licious slanderings of gossips have Gauss
ed more trouble in this world than al
most any other cause. The liquor trade
has been assailed again and again, but
it is very doubtful if this traffic, so
much decried, really does as much harm
as that class of people, only too large,
who are continually seeking opportuni-
lies to villify their neighbors and to ru.
in their characters in the sight Of all
their friends. Could the secrets of va
rieus persons be read it would be found
that many a person has been driven to
suicide and many happy home broken
up on account of the stories set ahoat
by those wio, having no business OF their
own, employ their Time in pryiEg into and
misinterpreting the actions of others. A
case illustrating the result Of this gossip
ing habit was announced in the ASSociat-
ell Press dispatches last week, dated Nor
lingly, attacked his sleeping wife with a
club and beat her about The head so her re-
covery is considered impossible. The
cause is believed to have been jealousy
needlessly excited by gossiping nsighbcrs;
he was arrested. ;" Here is one OF the most
serious crimes known to the law commit
ted on person innocent Of the offence
claimed BY the gossipy neighbors. A
husband led on by blind jealousy due to
these scandal-mongers, murders his wife.
1t is sad commentary on the Christian
spirit which is supposed to exist in this
nineteenth century that people should al
low their unbridled tongues to bring a
brutal DEATH to an innocent person and
another person to the gaIows. The mur-
derer will probably be hung, and 1t is a
pity that the same punishment cannot be
meted out to the gossips who virtually
caused the murdered woman's death by
their falsifcations. They will be held 3i-
rectly responsible oy the Great Judge for
the crime with the mission of which
the husband is charged. Were it possible
10 rysnd convict them, by an earthly
tribunal, as accessories to this murder. it
would undoubtedly furnish wholesome
and much needed warning to other gossips
OF the possible result of their malicious
ISLANDERS. -Stochtsn Independent.
