Pennsylvania Industry.

The busiest persons in this city at
present are those of calling which
probably is unknown in any other
place in this country. That calling Is
the professional cutting of cabbage for
sauerkraut making. The cutter travels
about the city from house to house from
the latter part Of October to the mid
die of November, by which time the
mountaineering season is over.
The father of the business is M ichael
Bruckman, who has cut cabbage for
Readings best families for many years.
There are few families in this city from
the highest to the lowest, that fail to
put down supply of sauerkraut every
fall. Bruckman alone cuts up 200
heads of cabbage day during the put
ting down season. His cabbage-cutter
he imported from Germany, and he
says there is not another like it in this
country.
It is the well-to-do families and sa-
loon-keepers who hire their cabbage
cut, although the charge is only one
cent head. The saloonkeepers are
the best customers of the cabbage-cut-
tiers, for they order hundreds of heads
| cut at time. Sauerkraut for lunch is
one of the delicacies of Reading all the
year round.
During the last half of October and
the first half Of November, Cutter
Bruckman estimates, there are not. less
than 1000 heads of cabbage cut every
day for sauerkraut in Reading, or co.
900 heads for the season. Those who
do not hire their kraut crop cut have
| cutters of their own, or wait their turn
to borrow of a neighbor who has. No
Reading household is exactly complete
without cabbage-cutter. The person
who cuts cabbage for kraut profession
ally has nothing to do with the making
of the kraut That is done by the fam
lily, and the family in Berks County
that does not know all the mysteries of
sauerkraut-making had better keep it's
ignorance to itself. No family puts
down less than ten heads of cabbage in
pickle to ''ripen' into kraut, while the
cutter frequently has job of a hum
dred beads or more to cut at a single
farm Reading Letter.

Long Live the Veterans.

As long as the Grand Army of the
Republic remains to voice the convic-
tions of the old soldiers of the war of
the rebellion, there will be no doctrine
of revolution or disunion, or of exalta-
ton of treason, or of submission to the
notification of the fruits of that war,
against which it will not protest, and,
if needs be, its protest will be backed
by the whole force of organized re-
sistance. The Union and the well
fare and prosperity of the entire coun-
try is the inspiration of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Divorced from
politics. it is yet a power in the higher
and purer politics whose influence is
felt rather than perceived in the po-
litical arena. Long may the Grand
Army continue a potent factor in pro-
noting the patriotic impulses OF the
country. Syracuse IN " Journal.

~NOSOLOGY EXPLAINED.
What Poets and Philosophers Have Found
to Say on tho Subject.

What Poets and Philosophers Have Found
to Say on the Subject.
Thomas Moore differs from me, for
ne writes, quite oblivious of Lavater:-
In vain we fondly strive to trace,
The souls reflection in the face;
In vain we dwell on lines and crosses,
Crooked nose and short proboscis,
Boobies have looked as wise and bright
AS Plato and the stagyerite;
And many sage and learned skull
has peeped through windows dark and dull
Noses have, however, been held in
respect for many reasons by the learned.
AS an oracle the old writer's held that
it was a sure sign of faithful Affect on.
Writes Rouister: did my nose bleed
in your company" And, poor wretch,
just az she said this, to show her true
heart, her nose fell a bleeding. Bleed
ing OF the nose did not always indicate
this. however, as the learned Grose
pleaded, for he held: IF a nose bleed
one drop only, it forebodies sickness; if
three drops, the omen is still worse"
While Milton, who wrote the "Astrolo-
gist,' said: IF mans nose bleeds
one drop at the left nostril it is a sign
CT good luck.'' Decker, on the other
hand, held that the principal use of
the nose was to foretell the coming of
strange guests:
We shall ha guests to-day
My nose itcheth.
There are lots of expressions in popu-
lar parlance, too, to show how impor-
tant the nose is considered. For in
stance, one speaks of dupe as a per-
son who is sled by the nose" and iago
says of Othello: ...
He was led by the nose as asses are. .fgs.sas
Paying through the nose," again, is
held to be a condition of too much
trustfulness, and Grimm says that this
saying had its origin in an old practice
of King Odin, who levied a tax of a
penny on every nose or poll. ''Tweak-
ing' the nose indicates not only a nose
puller, but a nose owner who is weak
enough to let people wiring his probos-
els; and not only did Papists in the cid
days slit the noses of the Pedestrians.
and Roundheads slit the noses of cava-
Tiers, but in the war of 1877-7S the Mon.
GeSIluc SoAoAoAly Cu1 oA tuo noses OF
all the Turkish prisoners that they
ehanced to take.
Still, though suffering the occasional
indignity of a tweak, good nose only
belongs to the clever mana man who
is able to find out secrets. For, as the
Latin poet says:
Non cuicunque datum est habere natum,
which freely rendered into English
means:
It not given to every body to have a nose
(keen wit.)
Still, as / have remarked, the nose is
not treated with the respect that it
should be, and this is possibly because
it is often the medium of ridicule. You
will remember Barham's lines:
The sacristan expressed no words
To indicate doubt,
But he put his thumb unto his nose
And spread his fingers out.
Naturally the hands placed tandem in
front of the nose put the organ itself in
some peril, and hence it gets hit occa-
sionally in n fight, as witness Hudibras,
who notes that:
Those who in quarrels interpose
Must often wipe a bloody nose.

VIII 1883 BE a Year of war.

The present year is the fifth year Of
modern times in which the aggregate
of the figures is twenty-five. and there
will be but five more years in which such
combination is possible prior to the
year 2599. Probably but few have ever
heard of the old prophecy, which runs
as follows:
II every future year of our Lord,
When the sum of the fsures is twenty-five,
Some warlike kingdom viii draw the
sword,
Blu peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students of modern history will
readily recall how faithfully this proph-
ecy has been fulfilled in the four pre-
vious years to which it applied.

landformed the coalition against Sweden
which inaug,uated the great war that
ended in the disastrous defeat of

THE INEVITABLE RESULT.
Why Tariff Tinkering Is Bound to Injure
the Working Classes.

the Working Classes.
With the tariff on steel rails at the
present figure foreign manufacturers
are able to enter the American market
and lay down their products, after
adding ocean transportation and Gus
toms charges, at price which leavss
only narrow margin of profit to the
home manufacturer who meets it. In
other words, the rail-makers of Amer
lea, with all the advantages of inn
proved processes and plants, an mex
haustible supply of iron ores almost
at their mill doors, and market close
at hand, find it no easy matter, even
with the aid of a duty of seventeen
dollars per ton, to compete with mills
whose product must be freighted a
distance of three thousand miles, and
then pay an import tax. Take away
any part of this import tax, and you
leave the American manufacturer but
one alternative-either to close down
his works and leave his costly plant to
rust in idleness and his workmen and
their families to starve, or else reduce
the cost of production by reducing
wages That is what it comes to at
last. The American working-ma must
stand the brunt of the Democratic
policy of wholesale cutting-down of
customs taxation.--C Chicago HAIL.
