to deprive the patient altogether OF liquor

Making Steel Rails.

William p. Hunt, the proprietor
O. the South Boston Iron works.
where heavy iron cannon are cast,
was in thecity recently. He has been
paying visit Of inspection to the
great iron and steel works in Penn
syIvania with a view of charging his
experience. He remarked that he
regar led the Edgar Thompson Steel
work.. near Pittshurg, as marvellous
in their extent and excellence.
Among other things he said:
"The-e works turn out enormous
quantities of steel rails. They have
five or six blast furnaces where they
make the pig iron and eight or ten
cupola furnaces for mixing the iron,
besides their converterS and other
processes for treating the metal be-
fore it reaches the completed state.

| think. would be about two rails n
minute. 1t was a marvel to me how
they could handle all the vast guam
tity of material that was required for
this work, They use 1000 tons of
iron ore day, 1000 tons of coal en1
large quantities Of limestone to turn
out ! 900 tons of pig iron. In all
they handle nearly 5000 tons of ma
terial day. II is successfully done
by well organized and systematized

humanity than all other benelactors
com bined. Yet, for years He was
only the Son of Mary and mere

ABOUT FINGER NAILS.-"Few peo-
pie understand how to cut Their nails, +"
said the young lady manicure. "a
knife or scissors should never be used.
1 trim and shape the nail with a small
file, and then carefully smooth down
and bevel the roughened edges with en-
cry board, which keeps them from break
ing and trims them to symmetrical
growth. Another important ps.nt
where people neglect their nails is in
allowing the skin to grow out on the
base of the nail. This should be care
fully pushed back with blunt instru-
ment at least once a week. soak the
hands of my customers in tepid water a
few minutes before do this, so as to
soften the cuiticle. This Is necessary,
as otherwise 1t is liable to break. 1t
requires great care as the base of the
nail, which is very sensitive, may be
bruised, or the delicate edge Of the skin
broken. Another place where care is
needed is at the sides of the nail, where
it leaves the fingers. Lack of attention
to this either hardens the end of the
finger or produces the untidy and pain
full hang nails, which dishgure so many
hands. In filing the nails the iile
should always be drawn from the finger
and toward the end of the nail"

tn, veterinary surgeons are discuss
ing a new method by which wounded
horse nav be killed without TesoTting
to the old and Inhuman practice OF
usinr a gun or an axe. a successful
experIment was recently tried by Dr.
J., a. Anderson of Coyington, by. He
was called to examine a horse In tne
southern portion OF Covlngton. lie
found the brute suffering with a con
tagious disease. He recommended that
he be killed. The owner said he wanted
the horse put to death with as little
suffering as possible and asked Dr. An
derson's advice as to the best method.
The doctor recommended the same plan
by which he killed horse for gentle
man on Prince Hill last spring, whicn
was by introducing air into the Jugular
vein. The horse was taken to con-
yenient place, and then pressure was
made on the jugular vein, and small
instrument called trocar, with
shield on the outside was plunged d.
rectly into the jugular vein The part
that made the puncture was WltndIa"h
and the tube left In the vein. and air
was then blown into the tube by tie
doctor. The air following the bi cd
directly to the heart, produced elot or
coagulation, suspended tie hearts
action and caused an almost instant and
painless death, similar TO fatal case OF
heart disease. In the case at CoyinS-
ton, as soon rs the clot was formed the
animal cropped slowly on his side and
breathed heavily for few seconds and
then expired without any apparent
pain. There w2s quite large number
of persons present to witness the opera
ton. This plan was introduced into
veterinary science few years ago, but
there has seldom been a successful test
case cf 1t.

HOUSEHOLD.

A PRETTY SCRAP BooK.-Gather to.
gether all the illustrated newspapers and
books with pictures that you can com.
mand. Black and white pictures are
is good as colored, and the two look
well together. Cut these out neatly
and carefully, with smooth edges. Torn
and worn out picture books usually
have something left which will do to
cut out, and be thus saved from being
wholly lost. Then there are Christmas,
New year and birthday cards, of which
pearly all of us have some. Take for
the pages OF your book, paper, muslin,
or common glazed cambria; cut this in
to pieces ten inches wide. Three or four
pages will make a book large enough to
begin with. The cambria may be all
white, or any color you prefer-pink,
blue, red, or part of each color. On
these pages paste the pictures neatly on
both sides, using your taste as to
which pictures look well together and
fit In nicely. The covers may be made
of the cambria, neatly lined; but If you
aim at durability, take light pasteboard
covered on both sides with cambria. and
sewed together over and over, or, what
is better, in buttonhole stitch IN colored
worsted. Then, with the scissors make
holes through all, and tie the covers
and pages together with a narrow rib
bon or twisted worst9d.

TIE calculating machine invented by
Professor Thomson appears 10 excel, In
its ingenious adaptation to a variety of
results, even Babbage's wonderful
apparatus. By means of the mere fric-
ton of disk, cylinder and a ball, the
machine is capable of effecting numer-
GUS complicated calculations which
occur in the highest application of
mathematics to physical problems, and
by its aid an unskilled person may, in
a gwen time, perform the work of ten
expert mathematicians. The machine
is applicable alike to the calculating
of tidal, magnetic, meteorological and
other periodic phenomena it will solve
dInerential equations of the second or
even higher powers or orders; and
through this same wonderful arrange
ment of mechanical parts the problem
OF finding the free motions of any num-
Der of mutually attracting particles,
unrestricted by any of the approximate
suppositions required in the treatment
of the lunar and planetary theories, is
done by simply turning handle.
