An Ingenious Metal Cutter.

An account is given of the introduc- tion into England, by Mime. De Long, of her metal cutting machinery, which has for some time been in successful use in France. She has now, it ap- pears, perfected some ingenious ma chinery, worked by steam power, which cuts with the utmost precision the hardest and softest metals in any design, so that by it can be produced gold lace pin or steel castle port cullis from the solid metal, without any molding or filing. This unique industry is divided into four general branches. The first is the production of gates, doors, balcony fronts, and other architectural metal work with out casting-plates of brass a foot thick being thus cut into lattice work at single operation. A second branch is the making of lattice metal work filled in with glass, to supersede the ordinary leaden frames for church and other ornamental windows. The third branch comprises the inlaying of plush and ebony jewel cases, cabinets, etc, with red and yellow cop per steel and other metals; and a fourth for the working of picture frames, baskets, crests, etc., out of the solid metal, fully finished. -

A Mnn of Muscle.

There is a man in Nevada, named Angela Cardelia, who claims to be the strongest in the world He is an Ital- ian, aged 38, and stands feet 10 inch es. weighing 13s pounds. His strength was born in him, for he had no athlet- ic training. He differs from other men chiefly in the osseous structure Although not of unusual size, his spi- nal column is double the ordinary width, and his bones and joints are made on a similarly large and gener- ous scale. He has lifted a man of 200 pounds with the middle finger of his right hand. The man stood with one foot on the floor, his arms outstretched, his hands grasped by two persons to balance his body. Cardelia then stopped down and placed the third finger of his right hand under the mans foot, and with scarcely any perceptible effort raised him to the height of four feet and deposited him on table near at hand. Once two powerful men way laid Cardelia with intent to thrash him, but he seized one in each hand and hammered them together until life was nearly knocked out of them. His strength is inherited, for he says his father was more powerful than him. self

The EskimO's Annatite.

The Eskimo seem to have a conve- nient appetite; they can go without food for long periods, or eat five or six times a day. just as they happen to have it. They are improvident uf food and do not begin to lay ill their winter supply ofttimes until it is too late, when they suffer from lack of it and appeal to the Governor, who obliges them to give him tithing, which is left in reserve. It is said that were it not for this supervision during severe winters, the natives would soon become extinct from star vation. I have never seen native eat more than what estimated as five pounds of seal meat and blubber at a meal, though l have read of ten or fif- teen pounds being a not unusual con- sumption at one sitting They eat but twice day as regular habit, be- fore going to bed and almost as soon as they awake. From my limited ob- servation, would say that an adult consumes about eight pounds of solid food day, subject to variations, &C., cording to the amount of exercise and

Quaint Advertising.

Thirty years ago Albert Smiths lecture, Assent of Mont Blanc." was the delight of London audiences. It was a novel combination of lecture and panorama, and 'drew" for several hundred nights.
 Smith, the snowman and lecturer, was quaint, genial, literary Bohemi- an, who told a story we'll, cracked 8 joke, and made his audience wish that the entertainment was twice as long as it was. MT. Barnum once said that to write a show-bill was a work of genius. Smith had genius for adver- Using Even the most prosaic of con- servatives would stop to read Smiths advertising placard.
 When he started on the European tour which eliminated in the ascent of Mont Blanc, he had, as one of his band, an amiahle gentleman named Joseph Langford. Smith caused sev- eral thousand show-bills to be printed, with the strange words
 "Who cut Joe Langford's hair ?"
 One morning in Baden Baden, then the great gambling and watering place of Europe, every one was surprised to see posts, columns, walls, and tree trunks covered with placards asking the portentous question, "Who cut Joe Langford's hairT'
 The Baden police were stirred to an unusual activity. Feeling sure that the mysterious words were a signal for the rallying of the revolutionary party, they searched printing offices and visited houses to discover when and where the rally would take place. Spies were sent out, guards placed in public buildings; and even learned philologists were asked if these awful words, "Who cut Joe Langford's hair?" had any connection with the system of Republicanism.
 Smith gave no entertainment at Baden-Baden, but the quaint joke leaked out and advertised him and his show all over the country.

Took his Breath AWAY.

Young Smythe was passionately enamored of Miss Browne, and was squirming in his chair preparatory to a proposal, when the young lady said:-
 'Mr. Smythe,you pass Mir. Thinplate, the jewellers, on your way home; do you not?"
 "Yes," he said, huskily.
 "Well, would you mind doing me little favor?"
 "Mindl dear Miss Browne" he re- piled, with look of unutterable re- proach; "you have but to name itT'
 "Thanks! Will you kindly ask Mir Thinplate if he has tightensd the set ting of my engagement ring which MT. George Simpson left with him yes terday."

the external temperature. The small quantities of tea. coffee and -four con- sumed at meal scarcely require men, tion as factors in the food supply. The natives live in temperature with yearly average closely bordering on zero Fahrenheit. Their food is almost wholly animal. They are provided with small skin boats or kyaks, which are very light, but of great strength, and can be transported with great fa- cility over the ice to open water. These boats have the javelin or spear as part of the outfit, and the Eskimo from early youth is trained to manage the kyak and throw the spear, so that they become exceedingly expert, and it is seldom that the hunter goes out in season without returning with his game. The Eskimo, on seeing seal come to the surface for air, will, with few strokes of the paddle, approach as near as possible; when the seal dis appears beneath the surface a few quiet, rapid strokes put the kyak di- rectly over the spot, then with his jav- elin poised he waits for the seal to re- appear; should the head show itself above water within a distance of ten or fifteen feet, their aim is almost un- erring. After the seal is struck, the head of the javelin is slipped off, and to it are attached about six fathoms of line, on to which large bladder float is tied. The line and bladder are inn mediately cast into the water, and the seal carries them off until he is ex- hausted, then the line is hauled in and the seal at the end qlietly dispatched with small knife; not always quietly, however, for large seal when wound ed will often show fight, and wreck the kyak. The loss of life attending the hunt is quite considerable. as the frail skin boats are ofttimes cut through by the ice or swamped in rough water; the hands of the hunter are necessarily exposed, and many of them suffer from their being frozen during severe weather. They procure their fish by dexterously using short line and at- taching a small ivory hook to it. They bob this up and down through hole in the ice, and the unsuspecting fish that bite are thrown out on the ice; they have no system of netting. E. B. Green in Medical NetcS.

Got ihe Reward.

An amusing story of the intro duction of the mulberry into Cali fornia is related in the New York Independent. In the territorial legis- lature in early days green country member introduced and secured the passage of bill giving a reward of 5000 to the person who should first produce five hundred young null berry trees from the seed. Shortly after the end of the session the coun- try member received the reward, when it was discovered that he already had his mulberry grove started before b introduced the bill.

How the Lamp Travels.

The reindeer is to the Lapp what the dog is to the Esquimaux, and in addi- tion they give him food (meat, milk and cheese, and clothes. There are a few wild reindeer in northern Europe, distinct from the tame species in being larger. The total number of tame reindeer in the land of the Lapp is nearly 500 but not near all of them are trained to harness in the pulk, for a family of ordinary size expects to slaughter forty or fifty each year, and trade away half as many, and these are seldom trained, while those broken in are not part of those doomed to de- struction until they are rendered worth less by accident or old age.
 There is never more than a single reindeer fastened to pulk and seldom more than one person in these Lap pish sledges (children excepted), but one good driver can take a dozen "greenhorns" riding by putting each one in pulk and tying the reins be- longing to its animal to a pulk in front, forming a string of them. he taking the lead. Thus families travel, the pulks unoccupied by people being used to store away the family effects, etc. A very small amount--about the weight of man-is usually carried in a pulk, so 1t is easily seen that as a method of transportation it is a very inferior one, and the most nomadlc Lapps have quite small supply of ef- fects to accommodate themselves to these circumstances. While on our trip we stop about every three hours, unharness the reindeer, it is turned out to feed on the moss for an hour or so, and the journey resumed. - Chicago Times

Heart and Head.

loved her in the early spring, When bluebirds mate and robins sing; My heart cried haste oh, speak make haste My head made answer, haste is waste I dropped the corn, I sowed the wheat, The summer came with blossoms sweet; And all the time my heart cried haste, And head made answer, haste is waste stacked the grain, sheared the sheep, reasoned that my love would keep; My hearts loud cry of haste, oh, haste Was silenced still by haste makes waste! The ground is covered OCT with snow, Another wed her weeks ago !- My mocking heart cries haste, make haste And mocking head, oh, haste makes waste!
 Jennie E. T. Doace in the Century.
