AMAN named Peter Vending, living
in Bismarck, Penn, was recently exam
ined by the Philadelphia County Medi-
cal Society and pronounced a wonderful
medical curiosity. He has neither hair
nor teeth, does not possess the sense OF
SMELL and has no pores in his skin. The
latter fact is the cause of much wonder,
as it has been held that 10 person
could live without porous skin.
Vending experiences great discomfort
from his incapacity for Precipitation,
and his body grows so hot that his
clothing has to be kept wet in order to
mitigate his discomfort. He has al.
ways been in good health, and has .
wife and eight children. None of the
children partake of their fathers pecu
Iianties, except that none of them have
perfect teeth.

How Wooden Sp0Ols are Made.
From the Lewiston {Me.) Journal.
The birch is first sawed into sticks four or
five feet long and seven-eighths Of an inch to
three inches square, according to the size of the
spool to be produced. These sticks are thor
oughly seasoned. They are sawed into short
blocks. and the blocks are dried in q hot air
kiln. At the time they are sawed hole is
bored through them. One whirl Of the little
block against sharp knives. shaped by pattern
makes the spool at the rate Of one per second
small boy feeds the spool machine, simply
placing the blocks in spout and throwing out
the knOtty or defective stock. The machine
is automatic, but can not do the sorting.
The spOois are revOlved rapidly In drums
and polish themselves. For some purposes they
are dyed yellow, red, or black. They are made
In thousands OF shapes and sizes. When one
sees on q spool of thread 400 yards" or 200
yards these words do not signify that the thread
has been measured, but that the spool has been
gagged and is supposed to contain so much
thread. When a silk or linen or cotton firm
wants spool made it sends q pattern to the
spoomaker. This pattern gives the size and
shape Of the barrel and Of the head and beyel.
These patterns determine the amount OF thread
that the spool will hold. Mr.. Dweley's factory
turns out 100000 gross of spools per day. and
consumes 2. 500 cords of birch annually. His
years spoOls are worth $4,000. Thirty-fiye
hands are employed in the mill. During the
winter $50 wOodchoppers are sometimes en-
pi0yed. Mr.. Dwelley Is an inventor and q ma
chlnlst. he invented, designed. and made every

How to Cleanse the Waste Pines,

How to Cleanse the Waste Pipes.
From the Scientific American
One of the most frequent and trying annoy
ances OF housekeeping as many can testify and
which writer in the Philadelphia Ledger freely
asserts is the obstruction to the free, quick out
let of the waste water of the washstand, the
bath-tub. and the kitchen sink.
This is caused by gradual accumulation of
small bits OF refuse material, paper. rags, meat,
bones, or other Offai which check and finally
entirely stop the overflow Of the waste water,
and then the plumber is called to remove the
stoppage with his force pump.
Sometimes this is effective. at others the
Offending waste pipe is cut out and new one
put In its place at considerable cost.
but the plumber is not always near at hand

psns"e method OF clearing the pipe is as fol-

Ingenious Young Women.
From the Troy Telegram.
Monday there was big excursion from the
cOllar-shops to Saratoga. Hundreds of Troy s
pretty young ladies went to Saratoga
The sky threatened rain
The young ladies wore bustles.
Perhaps there was no connection between the
threatening sky and the bustles-and perhaps
there was.
Shortly after the excurslonists reached Sara
tOga the rain began to pour. Many of the
young ladies with their escorts were seated in
the parlOr of hotel when the rain began to fall.
The prospect was dismal as viewed from the
hotel windows. Within it seemed sad too.
The airy and tasty dresses Of the excursionists
must be spoiled by venture On the street. Um-
brellas were few and far between, and there
seemed an entire dearth of outside covering.
But witness the ingenuity Of the ladies of the
day.
AS If by precOucerted action the young ladies
arose one after the other and left the parlor
In q few minutes they returned.
All wore gOssamer clOakA
But the busties were gone
