BLACKSMTTHTNG III GERMANY.
In the interior towns and villages In
Germany it has been the custom for
many years for the farmer TO purchase
the iron for his tires and horseshoes.
aad IN some instances, when having a
new wagon built, to purchase all the iron
entering into the same, the lengths of
every piece being furnished him by the
smith. One part of the contract is that
the smith shall not return to the farmer
all ends and cuttings from the iron, and
it frequently occurs that the farmer re-
mains at the shop until the iron is all
cut up, in order tina. the smith shall not
indulge in too much cabbage. Each
smith shop has what is termed ssthe
hell, 4" and In cutting off set of tires, If
the farmer be not present, the largest
half Of the end cut off finds its way to
"the he'll" the duty of putting it there
devolving upon the youngest apprentice.
From this always-plentiful store the
srnitll furnishes his material for the
manufacture Of bolts. iorseshoes, etc.,
for transient customers The horse
shoeing part is also feature the farrn-
er viii bring with him the end of some
| piece of iron or tire with which to make
the shoes, or perhaps dozen or more
/ old horseshoes to be converted into new
ones. The farmer must blow the bel
lows until the work Is forged or the shoes
all made, and must then hold up the
horses foot while th,, shoes are being
driven on or taken Oft, and invariably
! carries the old shoes home with him,
unlessh prefers to give the old shoes
il payment for the apprentices services
in holding up the feet.

THE LUSCIOUS BIyALyES.
They are to be Cultivated In Great Salt
Lake.


New YORK, August 12.-Fish Com
missioner Eugene G. Blackford yes
terday received an order from Henry
House, at Corinne, Utah, for two bar
rels of seeding oysters. House wrote
that he intended to plant them and
make the attempt to cultivate oysters
in Great Salt Lake. Blackford said,
to-day, that two barrels would con-
tain about 600 Seeding oysters, and
that the cost, together with freight
charges, would be about $50. He
said, also, that this was the first at
tempt made to cultivate the oyster in
Great Salt Lake, and that no doubt
the experiment would have a salts
factory result, provided proper bed
for the oysters could be found, where
the minute animal life upon which the
young oysters feed was plentiful.
Oysters will live until they reach
Utah and the water of the Great Salt
Lake was without doubt suitable to
them. In years time the young
oysters, if they do live and thrive, will
be fit for food, and it is said that
should the experiment result success
!
fully, many more will be planted ne xt
year.

London is to have a West End
Stock Exchange at St. James street,
corner Piccadilly, and close to Crock
ford's former gambling club house.
Among the five directors appears the
name of Reginald Wilberforce, eldest
son of the late Bishop. His grand
fathers speculative experiences were
not happy. A large slice Of his pat
rimony was sunk in scheme to sup
ply London with milk through pipes.
The prospectus states that the only
contract they have entered into is one
with Mr.. Bartlett Burdett Coutts for
the lease of the premises, which in
dicates that the Baroness has settled
real estate on her husband.

The pastors of the Methodist Epi

The pastors of the Methodist Epis-
copal churches Of York, Pa, publish a
card giving their reasons for refusing
to attend 'so-called Methodist camp
meetings" Many of these enter
prises, they say, are not under the
control Of any department of the
Church, and are managed by grossly
immoral men, who use money to hribe
uneducated consciences, and obtain
this money by collusion with railroad
corporations. "We are in favor oi
camp meetings" the clergymen add
"whenever it can be demonstrated
that their influence is more helpful
than hurtful in the cause of Christ"

A California Pear Orchard.

Mr.. Mills, the editor of the Sacra-
mento Record linton, during long
ride around Sacramento, took me to see
Sacramento Valley pear orchard. 1t
contains twenty acres. There are 175
trees to the acre. 1t is four years old.
Last year the trees paid the owner s.. so
a tree, and nearly $3.50 an acre. In a
few years each tree will pay $40. The
orchard is beautifully cultivated. Not
a weed is to be seen. Every fall the
top of every pear limb Is cut off eighteen
inches, TO keep the tree down. China
men do all the work 10 the grape and
pear orchards. They cultivate the
trees, trim them, and pick the fruit.
They are patient, honest farm laborers.
The universal California verdict is that
q Chinaman works as well when You are
not watching him as when your eyes
are upon him. They never stop work
ing till the work is done.
ST had piece of work to be done"
said Mr.. Mills, "where I could test the
Chinaman's faitbfulness. | first en-
ployed good negro for two weeks at
$l5. at the end OF that time employed
u Chinaman afternoons for two weeks,
at $3.50, to DO the same work. I found
the Chinaman did more work during
the afternoons he worked, and for which
paid him s. 80, than the negro did
during the entire two weeks time, and
for which paid him S15. Letter to

A Story of 4. Ward.

The late Artemus Ward (Charles f
Browne) knew what he was about when
he courted the company of actors and
journalists so assiduously. He took
from them much more than he gave.
good companion as he was, and it was
the actors who taught him to give ex-
preston to his irresistible flow of spirits
Ia a succession of practical Jokes of a
harmless sort, yet comical beyond meas
ure by their very oddity and unexpect-
edness. Come in here come in here T.
said he one day in Boston to the COM
panion walking with him. Come in
here; we will have some fun" 1t was a
Boston pie-bakery which they entered
"a place where pies were speciality
where pies and nothing but pies were
sold, Wholesale and retail, all the live
long day. Browne approached the
counter, behind which the proprietor OF

Heavy Trains Blown from the Track.

The wreck on the Chicago, Rock Isl.
and and Pacific Railroad during the
cyclone in Iowa was such as has been
hitherto unheard of. An extraordinary
freak of wind power was displayed on
this road three-fourths of mile east of
Grinnell. There the surface is formed
of rolling prairie. The track runs
along an embankment about six feet
high and slightly curving. There was
loaded freight train moving west on
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad. The cars were of the usual
weight of box cars-20, 900 pounds
and filled with general merchandise
that would weigh as much more. The
train was composed of twenty-one cars,
and ali but the one next the locomotive
were- lifted bodily from the track and
overturned completely. A strange and
almost incredible fact is that one of the
cars was separated from the others and
alone carried twenty yards to the south
side of the embankment without touch
ing the ground. During its aerial
flight this loaded box car was turned
end for end. The locomotive and one
car kept the track, and continued on to
Grinnell, the engineer not knowing
that he left the train in his flight. A
number of the trainmen were killed.

The Sailors Grave.

When Mr.. Bret Harte, who il now
our Consul at Glasgow, visited the ISL

found, in the graveyard of the ruined
cathedral, the burial place of nineteen
sailors of the American ship Guy Man.

report to the State Department, sis

supported and connected by an iron
cham, which encloses the whole space.
This was done by the order and ut the
expense of the lord of the manor, the
present Duke Of Argyll. The locality
is picturesque and historical. The
graves of the American seamen lie side
by side with the tombs and sculptured
efigies of ancient Scottish kings. A
record of the names, ages and burial OF
these men is kept by the Registrar of
the district, but there is no memorial
upon the stone enclosure. The fact OF
their burial there and the story of the
generosity of the distinguished noble
man is learned only from the lips of
hired guides"
The State Department has directed
MIR. Harte to convey to the Duke oil
Argyll the thanks of the President for
his generosity, and that suitable stone
bearing the names of the deceased is to
be erected by the Government of the
United States over the graves of these
hapless sailors.
