The Making Of Wooden Ware.

The making of the wooden pals is an
interesting study. Wooden shocks, the
exact size of the pail, are put into the
machine, which turns them out at the
other end complete pail, bound with
three hoops, better and more evenly
fastened than could be done by hand.
Another machine paints the pail inside
and out, white being the prevailing color.
while neat oak tint ornaments the out
side. Washtubs are made of the same
principle, and it is indeed surprising how
many can be turned out during the
working hours of the day.
But the making of washboards is even
more surprising. The largest factory en-
ployed in this business is located many
miles from this city. Here the trees are
cut down and the timber often allowed
to lay for two years until it is properly
seasoned. Machinery is used to prepare
the timber and make the washboards
with the required ribs. But after they
have been completed, haul of twelve
miles is necessary in order to reach the
nearest railway station. Thence they
are transported to this city. After the
freight is paid they can be sold at 80 cents
per dozen, wholesale, or 6 go cents each.
At the same time profit is left to both
dealer and maker. The dealer said:
misunderstanding has proved a very
good business investment.-New York
Mail and Express.

The Tendency of Cultivation.

The tendency of cultivation is to in
crease the size of that portion of the
vegetable which is eaten by man. Gar
deners and farmers practice an artificial
selection which overrldes natural selec-
ton, and preserves those characteristics
which are most useful to mankind in
stead of those which are of most value
to the plant itself. II a plant is in de.
mand for the beauty Of its blossoms,
double flow ers are soon developed by the
conversion of the stamens into petals
under the influence of high cultivation.
and the inability of the double blossoms
to set seed is overcame by the division of
roots, the planting of cuttings, and other
devices familiar to the horticulturist.
In similar manner a plant which in
Q feral state has tap-root of moderate
size is converted into one which seems
to exist only in order to grow tap-root,
and thus we get from the innocuous
tribe of crucifers our great turnips and
radishes, and from the more harmful
umbellifere our carrots and parsnips.
The noxious properties of a root are
much reduced by this increase of size.
There is first dilution of the poisonous
principle-it is diffused throughout
much larger quantity of matter than in
the wild root, and secondly, there is
diminution in actual quantity through
growth under human care, sheltered in Q
garden from the encroachments Of rival
plants and the inroads of animal foes

Andrew jackson in New York.

/ recall one day when, through its
whole extent, Broadway was crowded to
its utmost capacity; when every window
was filed; when it seemed as il every
man, woman, and child in the great city
had come there; when the air was one
roar of cheers and martial music, while
flags waved and handkerchiefs fiuttered,
great procession moved slowly up the
street, but all eyes were fixed upon one
man who rode, quite separated from
those nearest to him, upon coal-black
horse, gaunt, erect, grim old man,
dressed in ill-fitting black clothes, and
who waved in his hand a white beaver
hat, decorated with an immense Grape
mourning weed. His white hair stood
up stiff and straight from his barred head,
which he turned from right to left. bow
ing in acknowledgment of the deafening
cheers that rose on every side. The grim
old man was the hero Of New Orleans,
Andrew jackson, then president of the
United States, in the hight of his popu-
larity, on his tour through the northern
states. Cor. New York Sun.

I'VE fisherman have o contempt for
the shark. He doesn't begin to COM
pare with his first cousin, the little dog
fish, for voracity. would rather fall
overheard among ten man-eaters that
into a school of dogfish. might
brighten the sharks off by splashing, div
ing, and making great noise. But the
dogfish is dangerous. There are great
many of them outside now. They fol-
low the mackerel in, and stay there now,
feeding on menhaden.
~The dogfish go in schools of 1000 to
10000. They travel close together, and
woe betide the luckless fisherman who
drops overheard. They chase the mack
erel into the nets and cut them all to
pieces. have had thousand feet Of
net ruined in one night by them. Fisher
men have had their hands lascerated by
them when handling their nets, and last
summer one of the men employed in the
mackerel fishing fell overheard and was
literally devoured before the eyes Of his
companions. A man has no chance with
dogfish. Hundreds of them will attack
him, tearing pieces of flesh away, and he
sinks in twinkling. A couple OF years
ago a fisherman off Nantucket was
swamped a quarter of a mile from
shore. He swan but two or three strokes
when he was seen to throw his hands
up and disappear. The water was
churned all around him, and the dogfish
jumped into the air. He was never seen
again. The dogfish now off the harbor
are about two to three feet long. New

Long Dist.no. Telephone.

Work is now being done which will
loon make 1t possible for merchants in
This city to set cosy little desk in their
counting rooms and talk without rising
with people in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia as well as with every sub
,criber of new telephone company. A
copper circuit has already been COM
pleted between New York and Boston,
and the wires are fast approaching Phil
adelphia. Instead of the ordinary tele-
phone at the wall the subscriber can be
furnished with beautiful rosewood
desk absut the size of ladies' writing
lesk, with plenty of room TO write upon,
and with several drawers for papers.
The desk conceals the big magnet
which operates the bell and also the other
mechanism of powerful telephone, ex-
cept two silver warning balls and the
transmitter. The transmitter with a sill
yer mouth-piece about the size of a sill
yer dollar is held by metallic arm
which is so arranged that it can be moved
to raise or lower the mouth piece several
feet. BY an automatic device the trans
mitter is also kept in the same relative
position to the mouth at whatever posi-
ton it is set. The only other thing
which shows that the desk is not gen.
tleman's ordinary Office furniture is q
little movable bar with four metallic
switches.
BY this device the subscriber puts him.
self out of the city circuit and switches
himself onto the main line for New York
or Boston which he rings up and calls
New York or Boston subscriber with less
trouble than is caused to call subscriber
in the same city. The copper circuit is
perfect and free from induction. A re-
porter recently talked from the execu-
tive Office of the company to New York
over it. Although the wire passes
through lengthwise the whole noisy city
of New York a whispered conversation
there was more easily heard than the
ordinary city telephoning.-New Haven
Register.

An Artists Awful Realism.

Concerning the awful realism Of
Titian's anatomical drawing and color
ing this story is told: When he first
painted his John the Baptist" the Turk.
ish ambassador urged him to go to Con.
stantinople to sell it. He followed that
advice. The sultan admired his work.
and declared the neck of the decapitated
apostle was not correctly represented.
~Now," said the sultan, Il will show
you" Calling . slave the royal despot
drew his own blade and severed the vas
sails head from his body. Over his
CHASTITY remains the sultan argued the
justice Of his criticism. Titan is said to
have prutited by this horrible experience
and thereafter depicted the drawn mus
cles and severed arteries with frightful
intensity in the copies Of his original
study. Chicago News.

A Curiou. Cause of Blindne.s.

DIR. Widmark, aSwedish surgeon, hav-
ing as patient young girl in whom he
was unable to detect the slightes Patio
logical changes in the right eye, but who
was yet completely blind on that side,
observing considerable defects in the
teeth, sent her to NJ. Skogsborg, dental
surgeon, who found that all the upper
and lower molars were completely de-
cayed, and that in many Of them the
roots were infamed. He extracted the
remains Of the molar on the right side,
and in four days time the sight of the
right eye began to return, and on the
eleventh day after the extraction Of
teeth it had become quite normal. The
diseased fangs on the other side were
subsequently removed, lest they should
cause return of the ophthalmic affec.

Episode of the Foreign War.

About the middle of the sixteenth GEN.
fury Ambrose Pare, the father of French
surgery, revived the tying of bleeding
vessels with simple threads, as described
by CELSIUS. the Roman Hippocrates, in
his account of the principles and practice
Of the Alexandrian school of medicine
and surgery. Attempts to find an earlier
origin for the lisature have not been sue
cessful, although so sound scholar as
Mr.. E. Neville Rolfe, in his edition of
the excellent Hand Book to the National
Museum in Naples, thus describes the
beautiful fresco of "Eneas Wounded:"
THE painting, which is quite unim-
paired, represents an episode of the Tro-
jan war. Eneas leaning on his spear,
with an expression denoting pain, has
his arm around the neck of Iulus, who
weeps. A surgeon is on his knees, pick
ing up the artery with forceps. Other
warriors look on, while Venus appears
from Olympus with sprig of balsam."
The proper reference is to the Latian
war, as told by Virgil, who gives the
story of Eneas' hurt in the twelfth book
of the Eneid, verse 1913 ct sep 1t was
no artery that the surgeon tried in vain
to take up in the hero's wound; it was
the arrowhead imbedded in the tissues
that had to be extracted by one of the
methods described by CELSIUS (book vii,
C. ., de Tells e Corpore Extrahendis").
The surgeon failed. as CELSIUS could have
told him he would, and Venus had to
interpose with an infusion of Cretan dit
tany. which, used as a fermentation,
caused the arrowhead to drop from the
wound without further ado.-Chicago
News.
