Manufacture of "One-stave" Barrels.
Flour handlers and others who use bar
rels are just now interested in zone
staven barrel, manufactured near Detroit.
While the size and shape of this barrel
are the same as the ordinary kind, the
body of the barrel consists of a single
sheet Of timber held by hoops. The tim
Der used is elm, which is cheap and
abundant. Canada is the main base OF
supplies. The logs will be RATED over
during the season of navigation, and
brought by rail in winter time. The logs
are taken from the boom or yard into the
sawmill and cut into two-barrel lengths.
Thence they go into steam chest, where
they remain until thoroughly steamed.
In this condition the log is converted
into thin sheets, or veneering, used in the
body of the barrel. By special process
a two-foot log becomes rolls of wooden
sheeting in minutes time. There re-
mains upon the mandrel an eight-inch
core, which is utilized IN making barrel
heads. These sheets go next to sand
ing machine, by which both sides are
made perfectly smooth. After passing
through cutting and growing machine
they are SO cut by goring machine as t
adapt them to the shape of barrel
Thence they go to drying-house. From
the lighthouse they go to the sizing saws
where they are cut the desired length
when they are ready for the cooper shol
or for shipment They are shipped il
bundles and in the "knock-down" to b
put up at their point of destination
Three thousand of them can be store,
and forwarded in an ordinary box cal
The headings are shipped in barrels

Fall Style of Postal Card

Postmaster-G General Villas Fall style
of postal card will be out about the
first of September, in time for the
autumn trade. The new design
consists of one piece of engraving in
stead of two, as on the present card.
People may ask why, after sweating
through the heated term with two
pieces of engraving on their postal
cards, they should suddenly be re-
duced to one as cold weather is APP
preaching, but this is none of our
business. They must ask Mr.. Villas
about it. Perhaps the ink will be
spread so thick over the single de
sign that it will be as warm as the
old style.
A head of Jefferson occupies a cen
trail position on the upper third o
the card, and over the head are tn
words Omitted States" Perhaps thi
is a delicate compliment to civil sci
vice reform, showing that the senti
ment of the United States lays owe
the Jeffersonian doctrine, 'To tn
victors belong the spoils." Undo

The Carrier Dove

There was a time when the carrier
dove was considered to be swift
and reliable mail carrier, and he
didn't retire from the business alto
gether when a mail car was addedto
the lightning express train. The
telegraph assisted much in placing
him on the retired list, only to APP
pear in fancy flights or when some
city was being beseiged in time Of
war.
In the days of chivalry knight
departing on his expeditions always
took an experienced pigeon or two
along with him in order that he
might send back to his lady-loye a
report of his mighty deeds. And a
lady setting out on a pilgrimage
would take carrier dove also, for
epistolary purposes. Besides being
expeditions, these winged messen-
gers were more reliable as mail-car-
riers than many men who might be
employed. They never stopped tC
drink at roadside inns. They nevel
open letters, either from curiosity o.
for the purpose of prrloining drafts
that might be enclosed; they didn'
object to working over hours, ant
they were never known to strike 70
: more pay. Who ever saw carrie
dove scrutinizing the inscription OIL
| a letter and specializing as to tn
thereason ofso much correspondence
! or caught him reading postal card
No one in the world. And when h
arrives with the message at its de-
I tination he didn't ring the door be
: hard enough to drag it out by tn
i roots, and "sass" the one who cam
g to answer the summons for not NAL
a ing greater haste. No, indeed. l
n many respects tho pigeon has nj
u been improved on by some of IL
IS letter-carriers we have nowadays.

LITTLE MANNERlsMs OF SPEECH.


Is More or Less Of Nuisancs
at Times-ContradictIon.
Everybody has some little mannerism
of speech or gesture that he never knows
he has. They chaff the English about
"Don't you know" but l wonder how
many of the Americans who use the ex-
preston constantly know they do it.
"See?" is common addition, period, in
teriection and exclamation. / know
several men who in telling anything say
@And so forth and so on" three times a
minute; and "All that sort of thing" is
most frequent expression with any num-
Der of people.
The man who interludes his CONVERSE
ton with @Don't you think sof" is more
Of a nuisance, because you never know
whether he expects you to answer him
OF not "Sayl" is an abrupt and harsh
way of attracting attention; yet ladies
are most given to the use of it. Every
body is more or less nuisance at times.
One man sits perfectly still and talks SO
deliberately and slowly that you get mad
either because you know five minutes
before he gets there what he's going to
say or you have to wait so long to IND
ont. Another fellow talk so fast and SC
much that you get tired of the subject,
however entertaining. A third fellow
gets up and walks about in the most
Irritating way while he's pressing. A
fourth begins about one subject anc
goes all over the earth before he gives
you chance to get word in.
But the most universal impulse IL
human nature is to contradict, and nearl.
everybody does it. The man who agree
with you in everything is awfully pleas
ant for one trip, but you never make
great friend of him. He does not com
pliment you, because he generally end
by producing an idea in you that h
either knows al much as you or he
agreeing with you from indifference.

up for his contradiction. Argument

"a pear grower says in the New
York Tribune: Some sorts of summer
pears ripen well upon the tree, and
require no other special care but to
use them as soon as fully fit, for
their decay is very speedy. Others
are much the better for being taken
into a cool room to ripen as soon as
the septum is formed so that they
win detach there. When taken into
cool, still air, ripening is less rapid,
there is less danger of rot at the core,
and there is more juciness and fla
vor, and more delicacy of color.
1t is very common to see pears
which are hard and green in Octo-
Der, left on the trees, or otherwise
neglected as worthless, when they
are really capable of ripening int
finer maturity of tender flesh anC
rich flavor than any of the Garlic
sorts. For it is a general rule witt
all fruits that those which requir
the longest term to complete thei
growth reach the highest perfection
and value. The very late sort
should be left upon the tree as lon
as the night frosts are light-usuall
till late in October.
1t is important to pick with car
not to break the stem, but to sevt
it at its natural septum of partition
This leaves it sealed, but if broke

elled about its base, and loses qua
ity and capacity for keeping.

The frugal snail, with forecast of repose,
Carries his house with him where'er he
goes;

Knock when you will-he's sure to be at

These discussions or exchanges of
opinion as to the value of militia, COM
pared to regular soldiers, are all right,
but tell you some respect is paid to the
militia in times of disturbance. Ofcourse
they will shoot high, and everything
like that, and they will shudder at the
thought of shedding blood, where the
regulars will shoot to kill, their only
thought, aim and object being to obey
orders. But oftentimes it is not neces-
sary to shoot. The uniform and the
sight of a gun does a great deal. 1t

Packing and Shipping Eggs.

Eggs, especially in SUNNI er,
should be not only sound but fresh |
laid. Stale eggs, though apparently
sound, are sure to reach market in
bad order, or will change so rapidly
that dealers lose money on them.
Always ship at once while fresh. Use
strong, stiff barrels. For packing,
use fine, kiln-dried cut straw or
wheat chat. Some Canadian pack
ers use dry oat-hulls, which answer
good purpose. Never use oat or
buckwheat chaff, and never use new
oats, straw or chaff, as they sweat
and rot the eggs in a short time.
Place first a little long, soft straw
or hay, two or three inches in thick
ness, evenly over the bottom of the
barrel, then about the same depth of
packing, then layer of eggs, laid
upon the sides, evenly embedded in
the packing, with the ends toward
the barrel, about one inch from the
slaves. Cover the layer with three
fourths or one inch of packing, rub
bling it well in between the eggs witt

The Formation of a Feather.

In the skin of fowl, where fea-
ther is to appear, there is to be seen
little pit, and at the bottom of this
rises little mound, or pyramid.
Around this pyramid certain little
groves extend, deeper at the base,
and seeming to radiate from one large
grove at one side, all growing shall
over, and finally disappearing at the
top. The whole pyramid is covered
with a skin composed of the same
scales, or flattened cells, as those
which cover the whole body. In
the ordinary process of growth the
new formations on the surface ofthe
body throw off as effete matter the
older portions of the skin; but here
they are retained, and become 50
closely united to each other that
they form sort of horny coat, more
or less strong according to its age),
over the surface of the pyramid. As
new cells grow at the base, they
push up this little horny protuber-
ance till it breaks at its thinnest
point, which is opposite the large
groove. Then, as new growths still
push it forward and flatten it, il
