THE PRICE OF NAILS.

Our readers will find in another part
of this paper an account OF the meet
ING of the Western Nail Association
held in Cincinnati on Wednesday last, |
together with communication regard
ing the prices paid nailers in Western
mills. The action taken by the manu-
facturers had been generally anticipa-
ted. They have made pledges to the
feeders now operating their machines
and the old nailers are not willing, OF
course. to return to their places while
their successors are given employment.
Tho breach between the manufacturers
ond workmen is therefore wider than
over before. In the meantime the
Western Association mills are grad
uallv increasing the number OF
machines in operation and correspond
Iinely adding to their weekly output.
st;,, the bulk of receipts in the West
ern markets are from Eastern mills.
| stiu another element will be added TO
the situation when the new freight
rates from Eastern mills goes into
eHect on November 18th. This
amounts to 12c. additional per keg.
An increase of 12c. to the present price
If nails is a serious matter, and it looks
AZ though nails might be scarcer In
! December than now. 1T is impossible
of course, to give anything like a clos'
estimate of the present output of nail
0 East and West. But some jobbers be
a lieve that it is fully equal to the cur
9 rent consumption. Even taking thi
Q for granted, it. is very certain that tn
IS output of the Western mills now
It oneration is not equal to the Wester

The popular superstition that the
tongue of snake as verltable sting
no less certain to produce a wound
than is that of hornet or bee MI.
Charles G. Abbott, in GA Naturailsts
Rambles About Home" explains that
when a snake is at all disturbed Its
narrow, cylindrical, forked tongue is
darted out with great rapidity, which
undoubtedly gives the animal threat
ening appearance. But there the
matter ends. The tongue OF itself 10

not wholly, in feeling its way along

The "Thirteen" Superstition.

In Parts there are streets where IL
does duty instead of Is; and the house.
holders who thus ingeniously sought
to circumvent fate would not for the
world let the proper number be paint
ed upon their doors. Some years ago
Prince Napoleon tried to laugh his
countrymen out of the superstition;,
but his efforts did not benefit his cause,
for, with characteristic perversity, he
used to invite twelve friends to ca
rouse with him on Good Friday,
whereby he gravely scandalized right
feeling people, whatever their theolog.
fcal views
In America similar but less aggres-
i've attempts have been made to correct
popular superstition, and numerous
Thirteen clubs have been established,
the members pledging themselves to
dine thirteen at table on every oppor-
tunity. In France, too, there is a
Thirteen club, the headquarters Of
which are at Senlis; and even in Eng
land there is little coterie of thirteen
men who dine monthly at house
numbered thirteen, and pay thirteen
shillings each for their dinner and 13
pence each to the walters. Yet still
the superstition is as lively as Of yore
all over Europe and America. and
probably it will continue to flourish
and to make people uncomfortable un-
til the end of time. There are, in all
likelihood, men and women who are
even now undergoing vague uneasi-
ness because 1885 happened to be a
multiple Of thirteen.-Philadelphia

The New York Cook observes that
"the f"te of the Boston lady who died
recently rs consequence Of swallow
ing sharp piece Of chicken bone
should have the effect of calling atten-
ton to very common and reprehen-
siole practice by cooks--that of chop
ping bones OF fowls and meats. Chick
ems are rarely divided into fragments
for fricasses in hotels and restaurants
In any other way bat the method is
a dangerous one. Chopping is certain
to make splinters and slivers of bone,
always with sharp points and ragged
edges. and cooks, even the most pains
taking ones, are too apt, if in haste, to
neglect careful search for and removal
of such particles. A much better way
would be to divide fowls at the joints,
and, where the bones are too large, to
remove them entirely, which is not at
all difficult. When this has not been
done much care should he exercised in
mastication OF food that may possibly
contain fragments of chopped bone, to
insure the detection an removal of
the smallest particles"

No Bagears in Bavaria,

The kingdom Of Bavaria, which
next to Prussia is the largest constitu-
ent part of the German Empire, has,
says Boston Transcript correspond
ent, an area about equal to the princi-
pal part of the State of Michigan,
known as the Lower Peninsular; and
on this population subsists without
distress, numbering as many as that of
the whole State of New York, the
city. Long Island and all, but setting
aside only the city of Brooklyn. This
statement of the area and population
Bavaria leaves out of account that de-
tached fragment of the kingdom
known as the Rheinpfalz, separated
from the main body of the country by
100 miles and lying on the Rhine. The
soil of Bavaria is made productive
only by constant attention to its chem
ical needs and by careful cultivation;
but wherever in the country you see
them, the people appear to be well fed,
well clothed and contented. r. Three
times in my life l have gone through
the length or breadth of Bavaria, and
] have never seen a beggar anywhere
within its borders, in town or country.
Outside the cities, the land of Bavaria
is divided among half a million propri-
etors, in lots of from five to thirty
acres, though very few have forty to
fifty. Around the cities the holdings
do not average over an acre or two;
but these afford living for family
in the growing of vegetables for
market, its members finding time for
labor elsewhere, also; and no matter
how small the holding it is a freehold.

"The japanese have proved them
selves such apt learners" says the st.
James Gazette, "that they are already
beginning to improve on the methods
of their instructors. To people Of
their artistic temperament the old Eu-
ropean plan of christening ship by
breaking bottle of wine against her
sides is dstasteful; and so, when late
ly a name was given to II. I. Ms
ship Kats'uayi. an imperial princess
gently broke fragile cage against the
steel plates and by SO doing liberated
a pair Of doves. At first sight the
metaphor seems rather mixed; but
possibly an explanation may be found
for it in the fact that in the popular
Chino-Japanese mythology doves are
occasionally metamorphosed into
hawks; and the emblem may there
fore have been intended to signify that.
though in piping times Of peace the
KatSTagi would be as harmless as
dove, she yet contained within herself

A Piscat0rial HOwler.

One of the most remarkable sound
making or musical fishes, is the great
drum fish. or pogonias chromos, COM
mon on our western coast, and more
than once the crews of vessels have
been astonished at the curious sounds
that come up from the sea. A vessel
that was lying off the coast becalmed
some years ago was surrounded by
regular band OF fishes that uttered the
most remarkable sounds-now shrek
would rise, then groan, followed by
numerous grunts; the rushing Of steam,
the hiss of boiling water, muffied tones
of a drum, and even the changing of a
deep-toned bell. were some Of the re-
inarkable sounds that rose from this
musical school of fnny singers.
Humboldt, the great observer Of natu-
raj phenomena, dwells upon the re-
markable sounds that came from a
school of fish that surrounded the vessel.
One of the mcst remarkable sounded
like the twanging Of gigantic harp,

Christmas Chimes.

The meadows are brown, tue hills are all bare,
And up through the valley the clear, crisp air
Issinging Christmas song.
Like the song of the sea in the purple shell,
If we list to its notes it will sweetly tell
The secret it's kept so long,
It tells Of time so sunny and fair
When we watched tho clouds OF the snowy cir
For the reindeers' tiny FORM
And sew in our dreams such pictures oflight,
Az we lny through tho hours Of the long, dark
night,
Away from the clouds and storm.
Such pictures as glow in fairy tales
When told at the hour that daylight pales
And the crimson west grows gray,
When we list for the chime oftiny bells
That are hung in the shade of haunted dells
And ara rung by goblin and fsy.
1t rings on the heart fearful change
Ola darkened time, go sad, so strange,
When our dreams had lost their light.
It whispers and sings to tho lesfless trees
Our secret that sishs in every breeze
Till the day wears into the night.
o, Christmas chimesl Ye are merry and sad,
Ye wound tho heart and ye make it glad
With the music your ringing makes;
And the weary heart that has dreamed SO long
Takes up the thread of the broken cong
Aud sings till it, quivering, breaks.

How Herring Are Cured.

In Mr.. Perley's Report OF the Fish
cries of the Bay of Fundy. the manner
of curing herring is thus described:
The fish are scaled by being washed
in bushel baskets with a square bot
tom, open like coarse seive, the men
standing in the water up to their knees.
The best fish have very few scales.
and only half bushel of them are
taken in the basket at once; they are
then salted in large tubs. the salt be-
Ing stirred through them by hand; the
quantity used is half bushel of salt
to two and a half barrels Of fish, which
are tub full. They lie il salt twenty
four hours, and are then washed in
fresh water to prevent their becoming
salt burnt" after which they are
strung on rods with their heads all
ono way, and then hung up in the
smoke-house
In Clements the smoke-houses are
usually thirty feet square, with four
teen-foot posts and high roof; no fish
hang nearer the fire than seven feet,
but the most careful curers do not
hang them nearer than eight feet
Rock maple is used in smoking; when
it can not be procured ash is used, be-
ing considered next best. The process
of smoking usually occupies eight
weeks, and it requires the whole time
of one person to watch the fire and to
attend to the smoking, in which much
judgment aud great care are required.
The smoke is usually made up at
nightfail, unless the weather is warm
and wet, during which time no fires
are made.
In fine weather the smoke houses
are thrown open during the day to
cool, and the greatest care is taken all
the time to keep down heat, and to
render the smoke as cool as possible
by numerous windows and openings
After being smoked, the fish are pack
ed in boxes, eighteen inches long, ten
inches wide and eight inches deep,
measured on the inside; and there
should be twenty four dozen fish in
box of prime herring. If the fish are
large and of the best quality, it re-
quires some pressure to get this num-
ber into a box. The Digby herring
are in some instances cured in pickle,
unsmoked and packed in half-barrels.

Shying Horses Near.Sighted.

"Why it is that shying in horses
should be set down to an ugly dispo-
sition ! don't know" said prominent
veterinary surgeon to New York
Sun reporter: at must be because
horsemen don't know what else to lay
1t to. The fact is that it seldom is
met with unless the horse is near
sighted. l have tested scores Of shy
ing horses for near -sightedness, and in
nearly all cases found what I expected.
And now, when ! am asked to give
points on buying horses, give this as
one of the requisites: Never buy a
horse which is near-sighted. There
are, however, two exceptions to this
rule. If the horse is to have mate,
then it doesn't make any difference
about the sight. One horse can go
blind If the other is clear-sighted. If
the horse is to be used for riding to
saddle be careful that he is not near
sighted, for he will throw you sooner
or later.
"The reason why near-sighted
horse SHES is very simple" the sur
geon continued. "Of all animals the
horse is the most gentle and even tim
id. He sees q strange object and his
susceptible mind magnifles it into a
monster that is going to destroy him.
A piece of white paper at the roadside
in the night is a ghost and an old
wagon in the ditch is dragon. Eve
ry horseman knows that if you drive
the animal close to the dreadful object
fthe horse cools down at once. 1t is
that it is because the horse
makes a closer acquaintance with the
object. That is true, but not in the
sense in which it is generally under
stood. The animal has not been able
to see it from distance. He is near
sighted"

The only written language of the
American Indians was in the form of
hierog'yphics, but'this plan of picture
writing was not much used among the
tribes Of North America. As the spok-
en- languages of the tribes, however,
have such a complete dialectic struc-
ture it was not difficult to give this a
written form by means of the Roman
alphabet. This has been done in many
instances, and a number OF grammars
and dictionaries have been printed in
different Indian dialects, besides many
other books. Several newspapers are
at this time printed among the civil
lied Indians of the West. and at mis-
sion stations, in the Indian language.
The AZtecs and Toltecs Kept their his
torical and other records by means of
nieroglynhics in a very systematic
