Billions of Pins.

It is stated that the present annual production of common pins in this country is eighteen billions, or eighteen thousand millions 08, 900, 900, 000). This, however, is but daily pin apie>a, and only for 300 days in year, for each of our sixty million people. The old question is up again in the press:
 What becomes of all tho pins2" It would bo no trouble for each person to drop out of sight his or her one pin a day, and they would be pretty we'll scattcrel about, and hard to find, even if not 'lost in haymow." But if all these pins of only one years supply were deposited in oae heap, it would be quite different matter. The average sized pin is all inch long. We weighed some of these on delicate scales, and found them to run two grains each, or $500 to the pound. So the eighteen billion pins would welgh over five million pounds 6, 14s, s57 lbs.), or 2571 tons and it would take over 5000 horses or oxen to haul them in loads of ton each. ---L Prairie Farmer.

Skill of Ancient Builders.

A personal inspection of the pyramids of Egypt, made by a quarry owner who spent some time recently on the Nile, has led him to tho conclusion that the old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. He states that there arc blocks of stone in the pyramids which Iweigh three or four times as much as the obelisk on the em- bankment. He saw stone whose esti- mated weight was ss0 tons. But then the builders of the pyramids counted human labor lightly. They had great masses of subjects upon whom to draw, and most of their work was done by sheer manual labor and force. There arc stones iu the pyramids thirty feet in length which fit so closely together that penknife may be run over the surface without discovering the break between them. They are not laid with mortar, either. There f no machinery 30 per feet that it will make two surfaces thirty feet in length which will meet together in unison as these stones in the pyramids meet. It is supposed that they were rubbed backward and forward upon each other until the surfaces were as- similated. London Iron.

History of the Yosemite.

It was the Yosemite Indians who gavc most trouble in these early times to the settlers, and it was in following them up that the Mariposa Battalion first be- held the granite walls and leaping waters of the Yosemite Valley, and this body of militia were the discoverers of that land which has since been the admiration of 10000 awe e-stricken be- holders. From them came the first stories or waterfalls 1000 feet high, which subsequently, proved to be more than double the height, and it was they who first spoke of the towering Sentinel rock, the Three Brothers, the giant forest groves and other natural wonders.
 Soon after this discovery the lecturer, accompanied by Thomas Savers and Walter Miller, visited the valley and Mir. Hutchings said of their impressions: Our souls were filled to overhowiug. It was sublimity materialized in granite, and beauty crystallizel in a gigantic form" Five days' sojourn in the val ley were briefly narrated and the lectur CT asserted that tn, first view of tho Yosemite Falls was published in 1855, followed in 1856 by a series of views from sketches made during that trip. Before turning to description of the journey through the valley by the ald of the stercopticon views, MT. Hutchings quoted the opinions of several we'll known men who have visited tho Yo- semitic. Horace Greeley preferred it to Rome from St. Peters, Mount Blanc or the Alps from Lake Como. Starr King said neither tho Alps nor the An dcs possessed such sublime grandeur, and Ralph Waldo Emerson said that it was the only spot he ever found that came up to and surpassed all that was said of it. --- San Francisco Call.

The Use of n Snakes Rattle.

The purpose of the rattlesuake's rattle has been the subject of much srecula- tion. MT. o. P. Hay, in the American Naturalist thinks that it is warning to approaching enemies to keep them away. The warning must have been very efficient with most animals. The snakes are, of course, in great danger of being trodden upon by anim als which do not intend directly to attack them buffaloes, for instance-and to attempt war on herd of large animals would be useless. But through the simple device of sounding the rattle, each animal as it approached would be warned of the presence of the snake, and woul probably be induced to give it abundant space. Doubtless, by this means, the snakes have been saved from many a rude tread ly bear or wolf or panther that would have been unpleasant to them, and might have involved them in fight in which they had everything to lose and nothing to gain. -IPopular Science Monthly.

SuperstitiOus Indians.

Lieutenant Cushing says that the Zuni Indians invest everything used in their daily life with spirit of its own. A jar has its life and death and tho twanging sound it gives forth upon breaking, es- pecially when in the oven, is the cry of the departing soul. Tho lieutenant in order to learn the ways of tho Zuai, sat down among the women who were turn ing pottery and initiated their work. He began to whistle, when they threw ur their hands in dismay anl cried to him to cease. Any noise would excite the jars spirit and cause it to break when in the oven. They always paint a band about the rim of vessel, outsid, if it is water jar and inside if it is iatcnde for cooking. But this band is never complete, as thls woHld not allow tho spirit to escape when the j.r dies. All the jars found in ancient Los Muertos arc banded, sometimes in three or fo,u colors, but the ring is never unbroken. ---[ Boston Journal

Tho Cse of Water at Meals

Opinions differ as to the effect of the free ingestlon of water at meal times, but the view most generally received is. probably that it dilutcs the gastric juice and so retards digestion. Apart from the fact that moderate delay in the process is by no means disadvan- tage, as Sir William Roberts has shown in his explanation of the popularity of tea and coffee, it is more than doubtful whether any such cff-ct is in reality produced When ingestcd during meals, water may do good by washing out the digestcd food and by exposing the uadigcstcd part more thoroughly to the action of tho digestive ferm,nts. Pepsiu is catalyptic body, and given quantity will work almost indefinitely. provided the reptoncs are removed as they are formed. Good effects of water, drunk freely before meals, has, however, another beneficial result-it washes away tho mucus which is sccrctcd by the mucus membrane during the intervals of repose, and favors peristalsis of the whole ali mentary tract. Tho membrane thus cloansed is in 6 much better condition to receive food and convert it into solu- ble compounds. Tho accumulation of mucus is specially we'll marked in the morning, when the gastric walls arc covered with thick, tenacious layer. Food entering the stomach. at this time will become covered with this tenacious coating which for time protects it from the action of the gastric fermonts, and so retards digestion. The tubular contracted stomach, with its puckcrcd mucus lining and viscid contents, nor nal condition in the morning before breakfast, is not suitable to receive food. Exercise before partaking of a meal stimulates the circulation of the blood and facilitates tho flow of blood through the vessels. A glass of water washes out the mucus, partially distends the stomach, wakes up peristalsis, and prepares the alimentary canal for the morning meal Observation has shown that non-irritating liquils pass directly through the "tubular" stomach, and even if food be present they only mix with it to slight extent. According to Dr. Leuf, who has made this subject special study, cold water should be given to persons who have sufficient vii tality to react and hot water to others. In chronic gastric catarrh it is extremely beneficial to drink warm or hot water before meals, and salt is said in most cases to add to the good effect pro- duced. -[British Medical Journal.

A Watch Without Hands,

Tho watch without hands which has recently been brought before the public is simply a watch with ordinary wheel work in which the intermediate teeth are wanting and which gear every min ute and hour only. Tho contrivance, though admitted to possess some incon- venieucics, is on the other hand claimed to present some genuine preferences over tho ordinary make. Thus, the construction n not only allows the reading to be accurate, but also permits of esti- mating tho time that separates each passing minute. There is not only an optical signal given, but also an acous- tic one, since at every change of figure the car perceives slight sound, and consequently it becomes useless for one to examine his watch in order to meas ure given interval of time-a feature of special value to engineers, physi- clans, officers, travellers and observers. The experimenter knows exactly when a minute begins anl ends. T New York Snn

 And one little uzzer for mee God pity the heart that repelled her And the cold hand that turned her away! And take from the lips that denied her This answerless prayer of to-day! Take, Lord, from my memory forever That pitiful sob of despair, And the batter and trip of the bare little feet And the one piercing cry on the stair! put by the half-written poem,
 While the pen idly trailed in my hand, Writes on, Had words to complete it, Who'd read it or who'd understands" But the little bare feet on the stairway, And the faint smothered laugh in the hall, And the eerie-low lisp on the silence,
 Cry up to me over it all. --

r The construction of great. canal for irrigating purposes has been commenced in New Mexico. The dimensions of the canal will be 30 feet wide at the top, IS at the bottom, 6 feet deep, running distance of 14s miles, through Rio Arriba, Santa Fe, Valencia, Bernatillo and Socorro counties, on the mesa and bottom lands of the Rio Grande valley. It will begin at a point about three and a half miles south of Espouolo, and will stop near point opposite Socorro Over 1. 800, 900 acres of now useless land will bo reclaimed by the con. struction, which will subject it te copious irrigation. The supply of water will be practically inexhaustible, as the canal taps the Rio Grande at the start ing point, and will have immense stor- age reservoirs at intervals along its line. Much enthus is manifested through. out the territory at the commencement of tho work.

A Chinese missionary says he thinks that it will be many years before rail- roads can be built in China, because of the superstition of the people. China,
 he says, Is ono vast graveyar ard. ca every side there are to be found the mounds of those who have died. The Chinese will not allow these mounds to be disturbed under any circumstances.
 Their superstition forbids the removal of body or the interference with the grave of any person once buried with the proper ceremonies. Twice year they visit tho graves of their ancestors, in the spring with offerings of the first fruits of the season, and in the fall they repair to the graves and burn incense. If railroad should attempt to enter the country some of these mounds would have to be removed or else the rails would have to wind in and out among them

Make Me 6 Song.

 Out of the silence make me Q song, Beautiful, sad and soft and low; Let tho loveliest music sound along And wing each note with vail of wos,
 Dim and drear;
 As hope's last tear Out of the silence make me hymn Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim. Out of the stiffness in your heart A thousand songs are sleeping there Make me but one, thou child of art, The song of hope in last despair,
 Dark and low,
 A chant of woe; Out of the stiffness, tone by to e, Soft as a snowflake, wild as a monn. Out of the dark recesses flash me a song, Brightly dark and darkly bright; Let it sweep a love-star sweeps along The mystical shadows of the night,
 Sing 1t sweet, Where nothing is drear, or dark, or dim, And earth songs melt into heavens hymn
