Siskin and Finch.

In his famous collector DR.. Prim had
a siskin and Hartz finch, and the for
mer was an unrclenting enemy of the
latter. Hear the Doctors account:
The siskin would chase the poor
Hartz for a half hour at time, fright
ening all the birds and making . fear
full row. He understood scolding, and
when ! looked at him he would keen
quiet. The instant moved away he
would dart like bullet through the
air straight at the Hartz finch, and, un-
less the latter lodged him, he would
have bunch Of feathers in his sharp
little bill. One day, after two or three
talks, I caught him and cut some wing
feathers to impede his flight. He was
quiet enough in my hand till I put him
back. and the moment l opened nv
hand he stood up and went like rifle
ball from my finger, and knocked the
astonished Hartz finch off the perch. I
caught him again and cut of so much
of his wing feathers that he could not
fly at all. He shook himself, tried his
wings. and, finding something wrong,
jumped up on the perches one by ono
till he was we'll up. Here he paused
for moment, and then caught sight Of
the Hartz finch on a perch about his
own level and some five feet or more
away. He forgot his faulty wings and
leaped for his enemy. The force of
the spring took him more than half
way, but there were no wings to help
him, and he fell to the bottom with a
thump. A more thoroughly abashed
scamp never was seen. He picked HIM
self up, looked at me and then at tina
birds around him. He was conquered.
and poor Hartz had rest for several
weeks. - Golden Days.

The Study Of Finger-Nails.

Phrenology and chiromancy have
long ago become established branches
of pseudo-science, and books and PAM
phlets on these subjects are within the
reach of everybody. There is, howev-
er, new branch of the curious meth
DDS of physical research into psychical
character, which is as yet very little de-
veloped. 1t is the study of the finger
nails, the shape and color of which are
said to indicate certain traits of charac-
ter. Finger nails, according to the ex-
perts of the new fad, if long and slen-
der, denote Imagination and poetic
feelings, love of art, and laziness; if
long and fiat, they are the sign Of
prudence, good sense. and grave men,
tai faculties; If wide and short, of an
ger and rudencss, controversy, and OBJ
stinacy; a healthy color signifies virtue,
health, happiness, courage, and liber-
atty; dry and brittle nails are signs of
anger, cruelty, quarrel. eliminating ev-
sen in murder; curved in the shape OF
claws, hypocrisy and wickedness; soft,
feebleness Of body and mind; ana, last
", we are told that short nails, gnaw-
ed down to the flesh, signify Stiffness
and dissipation. Which, last Injunction
would make it worth while to commend
the study of nails at least to schoolboys
laboring under the burden of mathe-
NAUTICAL studies, or the heavier corvee
of an unwelcome imposition.

Throw 1t Out.

The twenty-cent piece ought to be
bounced. 1t is fraud, delusion and
q snare. 1t humiliates q man twice
first when he finds he has received it
as q quarter, and second when he
planks it down on the counter expect
ing that it is a quarter. You never no.
tice when you take it that it is only
two dimes worth, while the other fei-
low when you 60 to pay it out is sure
to detect it, and you are then looked
on as a small kind of cheat, an impress
sion that no amount of explanation can
quite efface. The twenty-cent piece is
useless, unnecessary coin. 1t never
should have existed, and there is no
reason why it should exist now. It is
q venal coin going about getting two
cents extra on false pretenses. 1t is O
jackadaw in borrowed plumes. Like
Mark Twain's fly that is never SO happy
as when it can pass itself off as a cur
rant in a fruit cake, the twenty-cent
piece always feels good when it mas
querades as quarter. 1t is the Ish-
mael of coins and the hand of every
man should be against it. Refuse to
recognize it. Don't take it in and it
won't take you in. In order to facili-
tate this good work the writer will I'M
dertake to accept all the twenty-cent
pieces in the country if the sender pays
express charges! The coins can then
be melted over and the remains sold in
q junk shop as scrap silver. The TWEEN.
ty-cent piece ought to 60.

How a Train Was Saved.

81 see in the paper, said an old en-
glneer, that they have arrested
Nlckle-Plate driver over in Indiana for
failing to stop his train at grade
crossing in time to prevent an accident.
His defense is that the rails were slip
perry. That reminds me of one of nv
own experiences. Several years ago /
was running fast express one night.
We were three hours behind time, and
il there's anything in the world l hate
its to finish a run behind schedule.
These grade crossings of one-horse
railroads are nuisances to the trunl
lines, and we had hbit of failing to
stop, merely Stacking up for 'em. At
this crossing had never seen q train
at that time of the night, and so I
rounded the curve out of the cut at full
tilt. was as.onished to see the target
set up against me, though I had time
enough to stop. But it was down
grade there and the track was very
slippery, and to add to the danger nv
air didn't work right. l whistled
sharply to have the target set clear for
me, but on looking saw that freight
train was standing right over the cross
ing, evidently intending to put few
cars on our switch. l wish could
tell you what my thoughts were at that
moment: l gave the danger whistle
and tried to stop my train, but had
seven heavy sleepers on and we just
slid down that grade spite of every.
thing | could do. Now comes the sur
prising part Of the story. Quick,
than can tell you the brakeman on the
freight train uncoupled car iast back
OF our crossing and signaled his engi-
neer to 60 ahead, which he did sharp.
", but barely in time to let us through.
In fact, the pilot of my engine took the
buffer off that rear car. Through that
little hole we slipped, and lives and
property were saved. Now that brake
man was only common railroader,
yet he saw that situation ut glance.
There wasn't time to run his whole
train off the crossing, nor even half of
it-barely time to pull ap one car
length BY prompt, quick work. He
kept his wits about him as I venture to
say not one man in thousand would
have done, and saved pIy reputation,
IT not my life. He is aow division
superintendent on on, of the best roads
in this country; and may good luck 20
with him. TRAIN 1alE in CHICAGO

Shaving Hats.

Zone of the hardests posts in hat
factory said a boss hat-maker, yester-
day, lis that of shaver. Few people
know that there is such person in a
hat factory; but there is and his work
is as important as it is difficult He is
armed with thin, narrow-bladed
knife, twelve inches long, and as sharp
as steel can possible be made, in which
condition it must be kent Mt all times.
The hat body comes to the shaver in its
raw condition. 1t is in the shape of a
V, and is covered with short. fine hair,
and perfectly dry. The hat body is
placed over the knee cap of the man,
who Is to shave it with the point up.
The knife is thea taken in the right
hand, and, with the edge from the
body, is drawn back and forward with
such quickness that you would wonder
that an arm could be moved so fast In
the meantime, great care must be TAX
en-, as the least pressure of the edge of
the knife cuts the hat, and It's spoiled.
''In the factories where nothing but
first-class goods are made these cut hats
are thrown on the hands of the work.
men, but in others the workmen lose
only about one-half of the value of the
hat, and the firm sells it to some Sec
ond-class manufacturer. The only diff
ference is that slnallet-sized hat is
made, the body being first worked ov-
er, 80 that the top point is drawn away
from the cut until the latter is about
midway between the top and the outer
edge. after which the hat is made up in
the usual way. Hats made in this way
from bodies which were intended for
the highest priced hats can be sold for
about half price, and also be of the best
material. A number of retail houses
who sell low-priced goods deal in these
hats.
"When the knives are worn down by
constant sharpening, the workman
takes them home for use in his kitchen,
and they are without doubt the finest
knife ever made for such use. The
blade being so thin, its own weight will
almost take slice from loaf of bread,
and the thinness of slice of roast beef
which it shaves off would make your
mouth water. The only trouble is that
whenever the edge touches bone, or
other hard substance, it is denied or
bent. The edge of one of these knives
would make barber's razor blush. -

The Decay Of Will Power.

Strong wills are becoming as rare as
healthy physical organizations. The
world is ''fussy," but only because hu-
manity is working itself too much.
Brain tissue has increased, but healthy,
vigorous thought has diminished. At
fectations have become realistic, and
realities Alterations. A toothache con-
verts us into invalids, where our ances-
tors laughed at the govt. We have
beaten the gold leaf SO thin that it has
lost its own color, and shines with q
CHASTITY green light. Sentiment has
carried us past common sense; we have
had such terror of the flesh that we
have cultivated brain at the expense of
motive tissue, and have produced a gi-
ants skull that is too heavy for the
dwarf legs to bear. Emotions have
been rein d, but they have not been
improved; bra n has increased, but
strong, vigorous thought has diminish
ed. Education has become dsffused,
but what many have gained the select
few have lost; and though there are
abundance OF readers, the race of
p ophets has died out. Suicide has in
creased because will and healthy
thoughts have diminished. It is a di.
ease born Of modern affe"tat on, of the
disappearance of that sclf-control and
self-se pect that are better than ca :
loads of mock sentiment and morbid
melancholy. Aside from the irrespon-
sibility of insanity, an unsuccessful
sef-murderer needs large do e of iron
and large doe OF the whip; and to
crush out all future attempts ne DIS a
strong dos of public contempt and a
strong dose of the treadmill. In !, GER
tain sense nature uses gu eide to rid the
world of fools; but it il, nevertheless, a
blot on civilization, and warning that
there i, limit to all things, even to
human progress. Humanity has made
q rapid journey toward perfection; but
the point has been now reached when
rest and relaxation becomes aneccssity.
We have conqu red worlds; let us now
return for while to the old Greek
proyerb, and try to conquer ourselves.

The Arizona Way.

A lawyer from Arizona was return
ing from the East, where he had been
to settle up the affairs of some mining
company. He was full of indignation
at the delays of the law in Eastern
courts.
ut took me three MONTHS" he said,
Ito get little formality through that
ought to have been settled in twenty;
four hours. 1t worried the life out of
me. Now, out in Arizona we don't do
things that way. Our courts move
quick. We haven't so much style or
red tape, and believe that when a thing
has to be done the way to get it done Is
to get right at it and rush It. l remem-
Der last spring the Judge came to our
place to hold court. There was a Jail
full of fellows there, in for murder and
horse-stealing. The Judge was in q
hurry, and said that docket must be
cleared within twenty-four hours. Well,
it was.
"How in the world did he do it."
HE didn't do it. That night the bows
organized little comm ttee, took tho
prisoners out of Jail, hung the horse
thieves and told the murderers TO get
out of the territory. Next morning the
Judge signed the docket and cost bills
and went on his way rejoicing"

APatent spotter.

A new cash and ticket indicator is
attracting some attention with railroad
men. The device has for its object the
prevention Of a diversion of cash re-
ceipts from their proper destination;
being intended to prevent conductors
from robbing moneys collected on the
trains, and Keeping and selling uncan-
celed tickets, the appliance at the same
time furnishing the company with =
iull and complete record of all passen-
gers carried on the trains, whether they
pay cash, present tickets, or hand in
trip passes. It consists of q box with a
glass front, one Of these boxes being
placed on . panel between the windows
under the rack for each double seat. In
this box the conductor places the tick

per compartments, and remains in sight

A Wonderful New Substance.

Paraffine wax has to-day no success.
ful rival for the insulation of electric
wire, and the growth of the demand
for this purpose keeps pace with the
marvellous growth of the electric-light-
ing system. A single Chicago concern
buys paraffine wax by the carload. It's
price is but half that of beeswax. The
demand for paraffine for candles as yet
heads the list. Then come the needs
OF the paper-consumers. In 1877 sin-
gle firm in New York handled $4,000
reams of waxed paper. This year their
trade will be $50, 900 reams. Not only
for wrapping candy is this paper in.
valuable, but fine cutlery, hardware.
etc., incased in waxed paper is safe
from the encroachment of rust or damp.
ness. Fish, and butter, and score OF
other articles are also thus wrapped,
and there seems literally no end to the
uses found for the paper saturated with
this pure hydro-carbon. In the chem
lists laboratory it is invaluable as a
coating for articles exposed to all man
ner of powerful dissolvents; brewers
find it capital thing for coating the
interior of barrels, and the maker OF
wax flowers Stimulates nature in sheets
of paraffine.
No fairer substance ever sprung from
most unprOmising parentage than tho
snowy, pure, tasteless, opa1escent wax
which is evolved from the loud-smell-
ing, pitchy dregs Of the petroleum still.
This comely, impressionable article,
with all its smooth soft beauty, defies
agents which can destroy the precious
metals and eat up the hardest steel as
water dissolves sugar. Sulphuric and
other potent acids have no more effect
on ozokerite than spring water. 1t is
alike impervious to acid and to moist
ure. Its advent seems to have been q
special dispensation in this age Of cleo
tricity.
Every overhead electric-light cable,
or underground conduit, or slender
wire, cunningly wrapped with cotton
thread-an these owe their fitness for
conducting the subtle fluid to the pres
ence of this wax. And in still more
familiar forms let US outline the util-
ity of this substance. Every gushing
schoolgirl who sinks her white teeth
into chewing-gum chcws this parafine
wax. Every caramel she eats contains
this wax and is wrapped in paper sat-
urated with the same substance. The
gloss seen upon hundreds of varieties
IT confectionery is due to the presence
u this ingredient of petroleum, used to
give the articles certain consistency,
as the laundress uses starch. So that
q product taken from the dirtiest,
worst-smelling of tars finds its way to
the millionaire's mansion, an honored
servitor. It aids to make possible the
electric radiance that floods his rooms;
or, in the form of wax candles, sheds
q softer lustre over the scene. It pol
ishes the floor for the feet Of his guests,
and it melts in their mouths in the cost
LEST candies. 80 Independent Record.
