Using Second Hand Tin Cans.

Economy may be the secret of wealth,
but there are cases where it does not pay
to economic too closely. A method is in
use, and has been recently patented, Of
using again old tin cans from which peas,
lobster, salmon and other edibles have
been removed. The practice may prove
pernicious one, and the cans should be
relocated to the furnace and rolling mill
before being again used for canning food.
At best. cans are never preserved, after
the food has been removed, in q very
clean condition, to say the least, and the
acid contained in the food often causes
poisonous compounds, when combined
with oxygen of the atmosphere.
The old cans are, it is stated, collected
in the ''revamping" establishment. the
damaged top removed, and the cans
thoroughly cleansed. If this statement
be true, there may be no objection from
sanitary point of view, but it is doubtful
If cans can be cleaned short Of removing
the entire coating of more or less oxidized
tin coating with which they are covered,
thus leaving somo of the poisonous mat
ter to contaminato the next food placed
in the can.
After cleansing. the old bottom is
punched to serve as new top, and new
bottom soldered on from the inside,
through the punched hole. 1t might be
well for purchasers of canned goods to ex-
anime the construction Of cans when
purchasing, and promptly reject all goods
likely to be in cases or cans that are

purposes It Is used quite largely. being
cheaper and cleaner than straw. Many
thousands of cords are used yearly in the

tors largely into the construction Of
apartment houses. for filling walls and
floors TO deaden sound. These are but
few Of the uses for which sawdust Is In

Bicycle. for English Soldiers.

The bicycle force that has been organ
ICED In connection with the English vol
unteers recently had its second field ma
neuvers, the first having been held at
Easter Rainy and disagreeable weather
embarrassed the troops on each Of these
dates, but the result of the turnout has
been very satisfactory, On the recent
trials the men covered about 100 miles In
forty-eight hours, fighting, scouting and
camping by the way. There were seven
teen officers and seventy seven men out,
made up of representatives Of number
Of the leading volunteer regiments.
The force was divided into two bodies,
one retreating and the other following 1t.
At frequent intervals the retreating force
made stands at bridges and other eligible
points Of defense, and the pursuers were
compelled to halt, dismount, send out
skirmish line and perform all the other
preliminaries of attack, as though in
active war. 1t was found that two or
three men left behind by the retreating
body could make show Of force at
bridge that would greatly delay the ad-
vance of a pursuing force, and then could
Of hedge and escape to the main body.

greater facility than the ordinary infan-
tryman is one of the chief points urged
by the bicyclers in favor Of the new
'arm." 1t is said that scouting and re-
connoitering parties mounted upon bicy-
cles could do much more effective work
without risk Of capture than men on foot.
In these maneuvers, although the re-
treating force numbered but three officers
and twelve men, they succeeded In delay
ing the pursuers so that it took them
three hours to cover q distance easily
made in less than two when no obstacles
are interposed. Three of the retreating
force dallied too long at a bridge, and
were ridden down and captured by de-
tachment Of the enemy. There were no
other losses. The chief difficulty expert
enced was due to the number Of parallel
roads occasionally converging that ran
through the country traversed The re-
treating party had to keep scouts con-
stantly ahead picking up the lay Of the
land and bringing in reports, to pro-
tect themselves from the danger
Of being fanked on some Of these
roads and cut off entirely at a con-
verging point. In country with one
good main road and but few side roads
the success of bicycle corps in obstruct-
ing the passage Of an enemy would be
much greater. Bicycles have not yet been
introduced in the British regular army,
but if their success among the volunteers
continues, 1t is expected that similar
corps win be organized in each regular
regiment.-New York Sun.

the following note of warning: "lf it
is true that the steel-rail truet 10 hold

product. the gentlemen at the head Of
the combination are not wise. The
experience of the past two years
proves pretty conclusively that this
commodity can be sold for lower
price than forty dollars and yet bring
a fair profit. The enlightened public
sentiment Of this country is in favor
of extending to each important indus

will enable employers and employed
to receive fair compensation. But
this sentiment is decidedly against
extortion, whether perpetrated with
