Pins. Pas. and Present.

To the young lady whose intricate
oyerskirt is held in innunerable folds by
many pins, ii may seem o hardship that
her yearly allowance OF pins Is only
about one hundred. and forty. Such,
however, is the case with each individual
in the United States on an equitable
division of the pins yearly sold In this
country. But the Indians in the West
are not supposed to use their full allow
ance, and collar buttons have SO far done
away with the use of pins by gentlemen
generally that the young lady may per-
haps provide herself with some one else's
allowance. The pins made in the United
States are made by fourteen factories,
somewhat scattered as to locality, but
chiefly in New England Their annual
production for several years past has
been about 1000, 600, 900 pins. This
number has not varied much for some
years, the demand remaining about the
same. Afew of these 1000, ,000, 900 are
swallowed by children, number are
bent up IN schools and placed in vacant
and inviting chairs, and some millions
get into cracks of floors, and the rest for
the most part are scattered along the
byways and highways where they have
dropped from dresses. and been left to
work their way into the earth.
Two years ago the competition among
the nine principal companies then exist
ing for the manufacture Of toilet pins led
to such q cutting of prices that the busi-
ness became improbable and the mar
ket was flooded with goods. Dealers
who were shrewd laid in stock, and fami-
lies even bought in Wholesale quantities
for future needs. A year ago q combine
ton was formed of three wire companies,
and now all of the pins made by them
are shipped to New York, and handled
by the head agency in this city. From
their common warehouse they are sent
to every part Of the country in Quantities
varying according to the female pepu-
lation.
The importaions Of English pins are
small, and the expectation of pins from
the United States is confined to Cuba,
South America and parts of Canada,
where, however, but few pins are sent.
England supplies almost the whole world
outside of the United States, although it
is claimed that the American pins are
not inferior in quality. Quality, how
ever is a matter which but slightly con-
Germs the retail buyer. To him paper
of pins is o paper of pins 30 long as they
don't have heads on both ends.
The raw material-the brass and iron
wire from which all American pins are
made-is from the wire mills of this
country, and much OF the machinery fol
their manufacture is Of American inven-
ton and patent

Highly Sensational.

An exciting scene took place at the store Of
Bridgeford & Co., stove manufacturers, Louis
vile, during the past week. While Mr.. Dan
Spaulding, the twenty-year-old shipping clerk
of the firm, was engaged in conversation with
another member of the house, q lady of middle
age came in and called him. Spaulding recog-
nized the lady as the mother of Miss Garfield,
to whom he expected to be married within a
week. Mrs. Garfield upbraided him severely
for insisting on marriage in which, she as
serted, he was incapacitated from taking part.
spaulding was inclined to be silent, and Mrs.
Canfeld, leveling pistol at him, fired. The
young man lodged in time to avoid the shot,
which whizzed past the heads of two ladies
who had just entered the store. The irate
mother then seized spaulding and, pushing
him firmly against a wall, placed her pistol on
his forehead, swapping it twice without causing
the load to be discharged. Interference by
outsiders caused the lady's arrest. She de-
clares she will yet kill spaulding, and the
daughter says she is determined the marriage
shall occur. All parties concerned are of good
families.

correspondent at Canton, Ohio, writing to
the Cincinnati Commercial, says: ""Joseph Lit
tie, young man aged twenty-one years, was at
Dorn's clearinghouse and saloon, and from
what information can be gathered from his
companion, he drank one glass of whisky and
two of beer. While drinking the second glass
of beer he was noticed to gasp for breath and
his head fall forward on the counter. His COM
panions, supposing him to be slightly i'll, vol
unteered to take him home; but at his request
he was removed to summer-kitchen adjoining
the saloon, where he reclined on some old car
pet, and in q few minutes was q corpse. At an
autopsy held to-day by Drs. Cook and Whiting
death was found to have been caused by fer
mentation of the beer in his stomach, causing
the formation of carbonie acid gas, which
caused paralysis of heart, lungs, and brain.
The occurrence is the absorbing topic Of con-
versation on the streets. Little was an unusual
ly healthy and vigorous young man. An in
quest is being held"

The Dog,

The dog is a digitigrade carnivorous
mammal. This will be news to most
persons, who had always supposed that
dog was simply dog.
It has been bruited about that the dog
is the best friend to man among the brute
creation.
He pants after the thief. When once
he gets hold of the thief's pants he makes
breaches.
A barking dog never bites; that is to
say, when he begins to bite he stops
barking. Conversely, a biting dog never
barks, and for similar reasons.
The hair of q dog will cure his bite.
This is cure-ious superstition among

A Stolen Good Story.

The London Telegraph has made
pretty good Original" story OF Germany
out of one the late excellent Judge
Hyde, of Sudbury, Vermont, used to tell
to the thousand and one who passed the
summer season at his hostelry in the
valley of Lemon Fair, before he was
elevated to the Bench, and the Tribune
copies it with credit to the Telegraph.
Judge Hyde's fathers geese got drunk
on about peck of rum cherries that had
been thrown out as too old for further
use, and it was thought they were dead.
In fact they were dead drunk, and the
hired help did not know it. So they set
about to save the feathers, taking off
even the down after they had plucked
them clean out of their clothing. As fast
as they were picked they were piled up
in the constable, and there left for the
inspection of the older Mr.. Hyde, when
he returned from Tconderoga, over lake
Champlain. He did not return that day,
and early the. next morning the girls
went out to milk and found the geese all
up and dressed, as far as not one feather
to put on would permit. They seemed
rather confused about themselves, and
looked upon each other as strangers. As
the milkmaids put it: SIT looked as
sheepish as gander party after Fourth
of July dinner, and one or two of them
must have had the headache as they sat
down and tried to fan their ears with
their webbed-feet." It took all summer
for the geese to regain their coats, and
the growth of their tail feathers was a
source of continual wagering among the
guests of the house, some of whom are
now living in this city and Philadelphia,
at the good old age Of threescore years
and ten. There is no reason why the
London Telegraph and the Tribune
shouldn't acknowledge the corn" of the
geese that were temporarily 'tcorned'' on
old rum cherries. York CONNER

Stick to the Farm.

In my mind, one of the most alarm
ing evils of the times is the tendency
the people everywhere to leave the rural
districts and flock to the cities-leave
the quiet and happy homes the country
and the villages afford, or should afford,
and congregate in dense masses-plunge
into the life of strife and turmoil which
such situation imposes.
This tendency is draining the farms of
their young men; it is drawing them
from the country to the towns and vii
lagos, from the workshops and firesides
IN these to the great centers of popula-
tion-where thousands by thousands
ride the waves for time, and by thou
sands go under the seething current.
The great majority of young men. it
would seem, are seeking to become pro-
fessional men-lawyers, doctors, preach
ers; or if not some of these, middle-men
of some sort-clerks, tradesmen, agents,
etc., of that far too numerous class that
can not in any sense be ranked with the
producers. As consequence the coun-
try is teeming with humbug institutions
to qualify them for these positions,
where .unsophisticated young men are
''taken in and done for" and who, in
forty to sixty days, come out completely
ground oyer-that is, fitted for swapping
jack-knives, computing the interest, and
making living out of the profits, OF
qualified for standing behind counters
and dealing out ribbons and small talk to
nice young ladies. t. 4.

Floods I'm the west.

A dispatch from Sioux City says: Most Of
the bottom, five to fifteen miles wide, is flooded
by gorges. Thetown Of Green Island, opposite
Yankton, has been swept away. Inhabitants
could be seen from Yankton clinging to their
houses as they foated of. A large amount Of
stock is supposed to have been drowned. AL
bottom lands are flooded. All were well settled.
The river steamer Western sunk at Yankton,
and steamer Fontonelle six miles above. The
boats in harbor at Yankton are 30 broken by
ice that none will be ready for service for sixty
DAYS. The names Of the boats lost so far are:
Western, Fontenelle and F. G. Bachelor. The
steamers above Yankton are in bad shape on
on the bank by the subsiding Of the water.
The river is now falling at Yankton and points
above. At vermillion, thirty-6ve miles north
west Of this city, water was ten feet deep in the
principal streets. All the inhabitants have
gone to the bluff back Of town. Gorges held
at the latest accounts. The river Is running
across the bottom lands. The river, at this
city, is rising slowly.

strange Cnse.

remarkable case Of abstinence from food is
now IN existence at Battle Greek, Michigan.
Last October Mrs. Henry Ingram had some
teeth pulled. This brought on nausea at the
stomach and inability to retain food. The
woman is said to be still alive, having eaten
and drank nothing since October. She is
nourished by being bathed in beef tea, milk,
etc., which act by absorption, the pores Of the
skin thus absorbing nearly quart day from
these baths. She feels a sort of hunger, which
is soon allayed by bath, after which she feels
as if she had eaten. A bath Of water will
quench her thirst. How much longer she can
live is q problem. Her stomach is said to be
totally paralyzed. There seems to be no dolbt
of the entire genuineness Of these remarkable
facts.

AduIterated Lard and Cheese.

The oleomargarine Investigating Committee
of the New York Assembly report that the
testimony taken showed that some manufac-
turers made oleomargarine from the fat of Of
fensive meat, and extracted the fat by melting
it at a temperature Of 100 degrees, which was
nearly 100 degrees below the temperature
necessary to destroy animal life in fat. One
witness said he had little faith in legislation as
measure to prevent the sale Of an adulterated
article for genuine butter, but thought small
license fee and a penalty Of $5 for each offense
might do something toward suppressing the
ldulterators. An immense amount of '1ardine,"
Or lard butter, was disposed of in the New York
market, manufactured principally in Western
New York. This article is more easily detected
than oleomargarine. Both lardine and oleo-
margarine have seriously affected the trade and
weakened prices. Not Tooth per cent. Of the
bogus article manufactured is sold for what it
Is, and grocers sell it at an enormous profit,
Tor the reason, if they took only fair profit,
customers would suspect the character Of the
rticle sold them for butter. Customers, if
hey knew what they Ssre getting. would not
puY it.
