A Curious Chinese Process.

The curious process pursued by the
Chinese of welding cracked iron wares
by cementing them with cast while
in liquid state is thus described: In
the case, for example, of cast-iron pan
requiring such treatment, the operator
commences by breaking the edges of
the fracture slightly with hammer, so
as to enlarge the assures, after which
the fractured parts are placed and held
in their natural positions by means of
wooden braces; the pan being ready,
crucibles, made of clay, are laid in
charcoal and ignited in small portable
sheet-iron furnace, with bellows work
ing horizontally. As soon as the pieces
of cast-iron with which the crucibles
were charged are fused, it is poured on
a layer of partly charred husk of rough
rice, previously spread on thickly
doubled cloth, the object of this being
to prevent the sudden cooling and hard
ening of the liquid metal. While in the
liquid state it is quickly conveyed to the
fractured part under the vessel and
forced up with a jerk into the enlarged
fissures, while paper rubber is passed
over the obtruding liquid inside the
vessel, making a neat, strong, substan-
tial and in every respect thorough op-
eratiOn

Wood Instead of Leather.

We often pity those Eastern travellers
and peasants who wear the old-fashioned
wooden sandals, and congratulate our
selves that no such heavy and uncom-
Portable shoes are worn in our country.
But the French, who lead the fashions of
the world, are substituting wooden in
place of leathern shoes. They think
them better than the ordinary shoes for
those accustomed to outdoor labors.
Their common-sense view of the matter
is this: Leather easily soaks in water,
and laborers who work in swampy
lands or in wet places have wet feet all
the day, and suffer much from colds,
rheumatism, and other forms of sick
ness. Wood is impervious to water,
and wooden shoes insure dry feet under|
all circumstances. The peasants whol
wear them are found to have mach bet
ter health than those who still cling to,
leather. There is great gain, also, in|
cheapness and durability. The wooden
shoes cost less than 40 cents pair, ant,
will last almost for u lifeume. They ard
made light and easy 10 wear. A small
cushion is attached to the inside of tn :
apper part, to relieve the pressure, a
he shoes are large enough to permil
The use If stockings. Its p 'ssible som

Tuning up Nerves.

An italian physician claims to have
made valuable discovery-one that
should be warmly welcomed in this
country. 1t is q method of tuning up
nerves, just as the strings of violin,
guitar, or harp are tuned up, and of
bringing them into such harmony that
the nervously disordered person shall be
instantly and entirely relieved. The
nerves of the human body, in the
Italians opinion, lose their tone pre-
cisely as musical instrument loses tone.
If they all run down alike, it is of small
consequence, as they will still be in uni
son. But when some run down COM
pletsly, some partially, and others not
at all, harmony is wholly destroyed, and
nervous disturbance and suffering is the
necessary result. A great deal of ILL
health and any number of deaths are di-
rectly traceable to deranged nerves, par
ticularly in America, where, owing to
the stimulating air, the extremes OF heat
and cold, the nature of our institutions
and our evershifting conditions, with
other causes, we are the most nervous
people on the globe. If we as nation
could be periodically tuned up. or rather
tuned down-for we need repression far
more than exaltation-we should be not
only much contented and physically
much stronger, but we should have a
vast reserve of force of which we have
not hitherto been able to boast. We
make copious music, such as it is, over
here, but its quality and volume might
be improved and augmented by the
proper training of our nerves. We need
to have our discords reduced; our
chords are altogether too tense, and are
continually swapping by overstrain:
The Italian should come to our land and
begin his experiments. 1t offers an ad-
mirable field

GENERAL.
An organized movement for the settle
ment upon Western lands of the poor Irish
Catholics of the Eastern cities has been
started in New York City, some of the lead
ing Catholic clergy and laity being its spon-
sors. The plan adopted is to organize a
joint stock company, with capital OF $lOO,-
600 cash with which TO purchase Urge tracts
OF land, which will be subdivided into quar-
ter sections, each alternate farm to be sold
to colonists on such terms as will enable
them in a few years, by prudent manage
ment, to obtain clear title. 1t is also said
that a similar movement is contemplated
by Mr.. William E. Dodge of New York City,
and other wealthy gentlemen, for the bene-
fit Of poor Protestants.
The official statement of the National Cot
ton Exchange shows the cotton movement
for the nine months ending May 81, as COM
pared with that of last year: Receipts at
United States ports, 1872 ,S07 bales, against
4,196,067 last year; total shipments by rail
overland to Northern mills direct from pro-
ducers, 414, ,S55, against 227,9l6; total rail
shipments overland to Eastern delivery
ports, $50, ,246, against 32S, ,110; takings OF
Northern mills from all sources, 1926, ,s22'
against 1912, ,607. The foreign exports of
cotton during the nine months were 3,30T,
100 bales, against 3, ,1S6, AGA, and the rail ship
ments to points in Canada direct from pro-
ducers, 1920 bales, against 9, ,341.
