An extensive and elaborate series Of
tests has been made by Prof B. r. Thurs
ton, to determine the comparative strength
of cold punched and hot-pressed iron nuts.
Every precaution was taken to insure fair
ness in the comparison. In respect to lia-
bihty 20 stripping the thread, for instance,
one nut of each kind was screwed or each
end of the same rod, ard the nuts were
then pulled spart till the thread OF one
gave way. With only single exception
in $50, the hotpressed nuts gave way first.
1t was noticed that these yielded nolseless-
ly; but when the rod was afterwards pull
ed out of the cold punched, stripping their
thread, they usually broke in pieces with
a loud report From this and other tests
it was decided that the celd-punched nuts
possessed much greater average strength
than the hol-pressed nuts; the latter never
reached the highest standard strength OF
the former, but sometimes surpassed the
minimum of the cold-punched specimens.
because there was considerable variety and
a wide range Of strength In the iron Of
which the nuts were made. The makers OF
cold-punched nuts, are, of course. delighted.

Dogs Toilets.

There are ], ,S69 workpeople, male and
female, who ;suDsist in Paris by making
personal decorations and habilaments for
pet dogs or otherwise paying attention to
the canine race. The trade done by them
u estimated st total of 5000, 600 to
5000, 900 francs, or nearly a quarter
Of q million sterling, SO that it may be
easily guessed how great commotlon Is
caused among this section of society as
often as the dog days come aroung and the
infie exible rules of the Fronch police rs 10
muzzling these animals are again put In
force against their owners. The rage for
dressing up canine pets has long prevailed
in France to a much greater extent than
on the English side of the Channel, and
has assumed extravagsnt proportions. The
Figaro gives some examples OF the most
notable fashions new to be observed among
the fair owners. Almost every variety of
dog has its own proper toilet, besides Its
own special toilet case, containing the
brushes, combs. sponges, and other applI-
snces for enabling it to be washed and
dressed. The ornaments suitable for
''boule-dogue" would be by no means fit
ting for 'sulu," nor does 1t al all follow
that what would be admired on ''canlcbe"
would be deemed in good taste for ''grIf-
fon." The latter, which Is q long hsIred
and curly haired dog much priced by al
French women. is pitied and desplsed al
this time of the year if he is not close
shaven over the body, leaving the lion like
name which looks SO particularly ridicu-
lous TO the English eye. Smooth terriers,
who cannot be thus embellished or disfis-
ured, are often adorned with little plain
gold bracelet soldered above the forefoot
and surmounted with a monogram; but it
is essential that the leg encircled with this
metal should be the left and not the right.
Rough terriers have, on the other hano, a
collar of bright metal, having medallion
Ut clasp upon 1t, sometimes with the pho
tograph of the owner, or of some psrticu-
lar friend OF hers, inclosed. The best bred
ssbulls," agsin, ought TO wear the collar
known as the ''officier" with colored rib
bon-red or blue for outdoor show and
white for the drawing room. Every dog
having any claims to be well cared for
must wear cothurnes or tall boots whea he
goes out walking, and these should be of
