A Great Traffic in Fowls.

In Marseilles, at any rate, the peasants
endeavor to carry out the wishes Of
King Henry w., and to have a fowl In
the pot, if not every Sunday, anyway on
Christmas Day. In the two days before
Christmas 1000 turkeys and 5000 capons
were passed through the barriers OF the
octroi Of the town. Formerly this sup
ply came from Languedoc and Gascony;
but of late years it has been furnished
almost exclusively by Italy. The fowls
arrive in railway vans of the ordinary
size, but specially constructed for this
traffic. The sides are of lattice-work,
and internally the van is divided into
nine tiers or shelves. On each tier there
are twelve cages, ana each cage is calcu-
lated to contain thirty birds.
In this way the prodigious number Of
S,24O fowls is conveyed in single
wagon. The cages are providld with
tins for water on one side and FOR corn
on the other. and there is q door in each
through which any fowl Chat is injured
or siclly can be at once removed. The
birds are said not to suffer at all or to
deteriorate on their journey, though they
come from Milan or even from Venice,
and in many cases are sent through
direct as for as the SpaniSh frontier

The Detectives OF Wall Street.

Thousands Of pedestrians move to and
fro past the stock exchange and about
the money center of the city each day.
Solid old financiers, whose check would
be taken unquestioned for a million,
come and 60 Dapper clerks, who look
like millinraires on steam. liars q week;
messenger boys by the score fit hither
and thither with hands full of bonds or
other securities making deliveries accord
ing to contracts and sales arranged on
the exchange floor. Bank agents, with
small fortunes often in the capaclous
portmonnaies strapped to their waists,
going to the clearinghouse to make good
the daily balances. while every few mo-
ments comes the numbering wagon
pushed along the sidewalk conveying the
cash from Uncle Sans collecting counter
at the custom house to Uncle Sans
strong vault below the sub-treasury. On
every side is wealth, yet attempts at
robbery are very rare, and successful
ventures at thievery scarcer still.
The fact is that every face passing
along Wall street is scanned. 1t is a
great place for seeming loafers and
loungers. Curbstone brokers have the
semblance of loungers. Clerks enjoy a
cigarette on the sidewalk. So lounger
more or less is not noted. But all who
apparently loaf about with little to do
are not loafers. They are sharp-eyed de-
tectives, to whom the face of every crook
in the country is known, and who are
constantly on the lookout for those faces.

Er,, Ersots OF Chewing Gum.

EVIL tS1eecLS Oh aSneSE4l1i-.SStsh4
'"A A popular craze that is daily growing
is that of chewing gum, Men chew it
openly and above board as much as girls,
and the practice has gone so rapidly be-
yond its old confines that the fame Of
vassar college as shrine where taHy
tolu received its greatest share of wor-
ship has long ags died out. The popu-
larity of the gum-chewing habit is due to
the fanacy that some health journal pro-
mulgated awhile ago that as gum-chew-
ing preserves the teeth and develops the
gums it should be encouraged.
The fact is that gum-chewing stimu-
lates the salivary glands to degree that
is draining and exhaustive, and when
the increased secretions of these glands
are swallowed it has an injurious fleet
upon the stomach by increasing the di-
gestion without pabulum upon which
to act save the stomach itself. 1t, at the
same time, excites the glands of the
stomach, the liver, the pancreas-in fact
the entire glandular system connected
with ailmentation; it wastes the pro-
ducts of these glands, or diverts
them from their proper use, and by
so doing Injuries the system. So you see
gum-chewing is not only ridiculous
and vulgar habit, but is hurtful to
health and should be stopped.-Dr. w.

Making Imitation Java Coffee.

Coffee, like wine, becomes better as it
grows older. Age also improves its
appearance. The best old Java is bright
yellow-the effect of time upon we'll
formed bean of a dirty-green color. But
all yellow, nice-looking coffee is not Java,
nor is its color proof of its merit. Cheap
Santos by newly discovered method
may be converted to resemble the best Of
Javas. A bean of coffee, if put into
water will swell. This is the initial
means employed to produce imitation
coffee out Of small, imperfect grains.
Once swollen the coffee retains its in
fated size. It is then bleached and dried.
and in few days is made to resemble
coffee that comes to rich, desirable hue
through great age. ". ..'- '-,!
But the imitation coffee does not de-
ceive the elect. ANY dealer of expert
ence can perceive the difference between
the fraudulent and the genuine. The
imitation looks better and sells better to
the consumers, and fetches better price
than it would had it not been doctored,
but close inspection will show the grains
to be of withered appearance, lacking
in what may be called tone, and sadly
wanting, when they come to pot, in
aroma.-Indianapoli News.

Regulating tho Degree OF Fatness.

Much fat is not the sign of health, but
of tissue .degeneracy.= Big.a portlys t.rnen'-
Of two hundred and odd pounds of bone
and tissue are not men for endurance or
for thorough work. The ancient
Spartans understood this thing. They
paid as much attention to the rearing of
men as our best stock-b,eeders of to-day
pay to the rearing of fine horses: They
took charge of the frrnness and loose
ness of mems flesh, and regulated the
degree of fatness to which it was lawful,
in free state, for any citizen to extend
his body. Those who dared to grow too
fat or too soft for military campaigning
in the service of Sparta were soundly
whipped, and if they would not, of their
own accord, reduced their flesh, they
were taken in hand by trainers, who,
with spur and lash, and corresponding
diet, soon brought them to the required
standard chronological Journal.

A Diminutive Printing Press.

A firm on Wall street, New York, has
in operation and on exhibition what is
probably the smallest working printing
press in the world. It's an interchang-
able cylinder, printing from continu-
Gus roll, with cutoff. 1t is but IL 10
inches in length and Z 1-2 inches high.
Its width in the widest part is 10 1-2 in
ches. At the Office where it is in use it
has been necessary to furnish to brokers
and others a daily letter of financial
news. Until the invention of to- press
this service was performed by the mani
fold system. Nine nanifolders were re-
quired, working very rapidly. By simple
hand power, after the type is set, 200
copies per minute of any circular can be
printed. With a dynamo machine to
furnish the power, over 500 copies can be
printed in the same time.-Chicago

VAL LIABLE FARMS IN NORWAY.

How the Norwegians Work Their Rugged
Mountain Homesteads-Haying.
Some of the most valuable farms in
Norway would be spurned as a gift by
American husbandmen, who are seldom
content with places of sudden undula-
ton, or, indeed, with anything but
pieces of rich prairie or bottom land. But
the Norwegians are industrious and
thrifty grangers, have comfortable barns
and fine cattle. and generations of fam
lies succeed each other: in possessing
and working their mountain farmsteads.
Their houses are substantially con-
structed of wood, and inside there is an
air Of conf ort and cleanliness : brroI
But what Of the far1na Look about
YOU. Mountains hem us in on all sides;
there is no room for the fields IS We
know them at ;horne;. but grass grows
luSuriantly among the rocks, with oeca-

1900 feet these, where, an opening oc-
ours in the dwarf Eirch, and you will OBJ
serve the diminished form Of a man busy
at work. That is the farmer, a thorough,
mountaineer, cutting the grass which
grows on yonder narrow ledge of rock.
He has been up since early morn, and
will probably not descend till evening;
not tuftof grass will be left ungathered;
not foot of level ground on that steep
and rugged mountain side but will be
visited, and its small crop carefully re-
moved by the industrious bergsman.
If he has a wide stretch of field (hiu
pasture or moorlan0 in his boundary,
the farmer erects wooden sheds, IN which
he stores his hay till winter, when, by an
ingenious conttivance, he has the whole
rapidly and easily conveyed to the valley.
A familiar object in Norwegian glen Is
the strong steel wire which stretches
from the foot to the summit of tho
mountain. Down this wire the bundles
of hay are expeditiously sent without
labor, and then carried in sledges to the
steadings. Without such method
many weary journeys would be necessary
ere the hay required for a long winter
could be brought down. It appears the
Norwegian farmer borrowed the idea OF
this hay telegraph from his brother hills

Good Roofs Made of Paper.

A roof pronounced superior to that OF
slate because of its Gghtness and other
advantages is now made of any fsbrous
pulp. From this material tiles of any
shape desired are formed by pressure
under machinery or by any other method
which may suggest itself. Pressed into
the design wished for the pulp tiles are
partially dried, previous to being sub
jected to waterproof mixture. After
the baking the tiles are treatei to
mixture inparting an enameled surface;
to this is added coating of sand, where
by the pulp is rendered proof against the
action of heat and fame. By the use OF
different colored sands variety Of tlnts

Silver Electro.PIate Upon Wood.

A novelty in silver is the discovery of
process of electro-plating with silver
upon wood, and its adaptation to handles
of all kinds, including umbrellas, canes,
carving-knives, etc. The silver is thrown
upon the wood by a p,, less which has
proved extremely difficult in practice.
The deposit of silver, Of course, follows
all the peculiarities Of the wood, and the
ordinary handle is simply garnished in
most ineradicable silver. The special
advantage is in the variety of designs
that may be produced.-Scientific
