The Wines of Many Year. AGO.

There were as many wines drank in
the days of Agincourt as now, and the
strongest were in the most repute, the
best being called, in the old time, "Theo-
logicum,' because, when really good
wine was desired, the monks were the
men most likely to have it, and of
whom it was obtained. The theologic
wine might be of any of the sorts then
in repute-Vernage, a bright red wine,
sourish and rough, from Tuscany; Ro-
many. which Russell calls Rampney of
Modusa, so that it may have been grown
near the Ranagua, and not have been
the Greek wine Of Romania; Greek NAL
voisie, or Malmesly, named from a
town ON on the bay Of Epidamus, and
much grown in Gambia; Claret, a
white or red wine mixed with honey,
and spiced somewhat in the manner of
the hypocras; French Muscatels, or Ber-
lands, made from wine blended with
honey; Bay Of Portugal, if not of AL
a c There were these and many more;
but the decided tendency to the blend
ing Of wines with sugar and spice per-
haps Indicate that they were not very
well made, or in themselves too palqta-

The metric system Of weights and
measures was adopted enthusiastically
in many laboratories when first intro
duced, but is now said tn be rapidly
losing ground. II has been the cause Of
many serious errors The fact that the
displacement Of a little dot will turn a
comparatively harmless dose OF medi-
cine into n having a deadly poisoning
power bears strongly against it. MIR.
Oscar Oldberg, n much respected drug
gist. who formerly advocated the sys-
tenn, has decided IL TO be unsuited TO our
requirements, and this will nave much
influence with many people who felt
the defects OF the system, but did not
like 10 reject it.-Exchange.
, 1886-01-28

Nobody knows anything about medi-
cines, not even about the specifics, ex-
cept that they do as a rule produce Ger
tail results; and the public, therefore, II
it can quote, or fancies it can quote, re-
suits, thinks itself just as well informed
rs the doctors. Boiled snails do cure
consumption, for Mrs. Browns daughter
was cured by boiled snails, and there.
for the public, is an end Of that matter.
Very few people can judge evidence;
and when the few who can remain silent,
as doctors do, they never appealing to
the public except upon one or two sub
jects. like vaccination and cholera, the
majority think all evidence good. The
main cause, however, is, we believe, one
met with in many departments of
thought, and that is simply human con
ceit. We none OF us know what a world
this would be IL everybody formed his
own opinion upon every subject of CON
cern.=The Spectator.

In it. II Is II new scheme to utilize all
tho waste metal OF Gotham that formerly
used to go to the dogs because nobody
was smart enough to and out that they
could save the United States s2,0o0,000 II
year outlay. That's what 1t has cost to
import Taggard iron and tin from Eng

that w can make this sort Of iron and
tin out OF old cans and other things
just as well and very much cheaper than
it "A be made out OF the original ore"
And how do you do it," was asked.
Nothing easier" the affable young
man said. ave put the waste material
in an oven or crate heated by a furnace,
and beat it with rollers until nll the ex-
traneous material is removed. 1t is al
lowed to cool after that, and the scraps
are sorted out according to the uses to
which they are to be put. The metal
sheet remnants are passed under a rub
ber-coated roller and ffattened out. Then
they are piled In packs and slid between
chilled iron rollers to reduce their thick
ness. After that they are annealcd, shot
through the rollers again, and then
trimmed and finished of and packed
ready for shipment anywhere. The sheets
al be %japanned, or timed, or galvan-
lied, or treated in any way hat the ma
terial made from the original is treated
What is 1t used for after it is finished"
"Lots OF things. Out OF the iron we
make buttons, lye-cans, umbrella tips,
shoe-lace ends, show cards, telephones,
electric lights, and letter boxes.
or the tin W. make butter dishes, tops Of
paint and milk cans, and similar small
ware. 1t costs $40 a box TO import the
tin, which is just double what we can
make 1t for. The tin can also be made
up for ferrotypes at a selling price of SIS
n box Of liz pounds. The kind that
comes from England and costs from S35
to $50 n box. There is n bonanza in it,
and the proof Is the profit, after paying
the expense OF manufacture, is s227 600

from the waste material, and sold at an
average OF t5 a box. New York Sun.

which is provided with a staple to en-
gage with hook attached to the rear
end Of hay rack. To the upper ends
of inclined and properly braced stand

side bars, is journaled a small cylinder;
Around the two cylinders are passed
endless belts united by cross bars, to
which are attached teeth having their
Outer parts curved forward slightly, go
that they will take hold of the hay
more securely, and carry it up the
elevator and discharge it moro readily
at the upper end. Upon a cross bar
uniting the rear ends of two bars
pivoted to the ends Of the axle are held
the rake teeth, which are bent forward
and then downward, and their lower
parts are curved forward until the lower
ends are near the ground beneath the
axle.
As the machine is drawn forward

Coming from St. Louis on the

men from the cowboy region by the
Indian Territory. They owned ranch
es there and were talking about the
cattle business. One was an English
man and was on his way back to the
old country for a short visit. He was
saying: 81 counted AIS cattle in the
field this side Of Kansas City" He
then took from his vest pocket thing
something like a silver watch. "This
is a cattle counter" he explained.
You see there are three figures on the
side. Now as often as you press that
little knob figure changes for the one
next higher. That's how it works.
and he pressed the knob rapidly and
the figures changed at every pressure.
"Nith this l can count up to 999 as
fast as cattle can jump past me. in a
field have just to commence at one
end and look at the cattle one by one,
pressing this every time, and | won't

ranchman. 81 have a cowboy who
