Manufacture of Cheao Shirts.

Shirts wearing a decent air are seer in
many q window marked at fifty-nine cents
An inquiry was made of shirtmaker as to
how If was possible to make and sell a shirt
with linen bosoms and cuffs for so low a
price. Here is the paradoxical answer: at
is and is not possible 1t is possible when
the work is done in institutions Beautiful
work is done in the great charitable institu-
tons. Manufacturers are glad to employ
them. Shirts they can have made there for
twenty-five cents dozen. This cheap work
done by institutions is one of the greatest
evils that the working woman has to contend
against. Shirts are also made by women in
their homes for twenty-five cents dozen.
Such women are not self-supporting, but
they exc out their husbands incomes in this
way. and can afford to work for less than the
working woman.
These cheap shirts are also slop work. The
cotton is weighted with lime, and when
washed could be used for a strainer. The
bosomS are made of what is called union
linen, which is not linen at all. but a French
cotton that can be bought for twelve cents
yard, and is accessible only to great manu-
facturers. II takes high polish when laun-
dried, and cannot be detected Of course, il
doesn't wear. But no manufacturer produc-
ing shirts in his factory in the regular way
can afford to make and sell shirts for that
price.-New York Evening Sun.

The British Magazine Rife,

The magazine rife selected for the use of
the British army was recently put through
a series of tests TO measure its accuracy,
penetration, range, etc. The dilatorineSs of
the English seems TO have stood them in good
stead this time, for while the Germans are
discarg;ing the ''Mauser-1o-S6' magazine
rifle scarcely twelve month after its adop-
ton because of its caliber IL mm.l. they
have benefited by the experience, and pin
their faith to a caliber nearly one-third
smaller The new gun weighs no more than
tie t+artini- Henry. which, modified more or
less, has been in continual use in the British
army for seventeen years It has detacha-
bic magazine placed in front of the trigger
guard and holding eight rounds, with one
more rarnmed home in the breech, making
nine. When one magazine is exhausted 1t IS
detached with a single movement and an
other snapped on. The powder is compressed
on the Swiss system, with the result that
smaller and lighter bullets may be used The
soldier VIII be able 10 carry lis rounds,
where before lie hsd only seventh. Still bet
ter, the trajectory is fat and the range
much greater than that Of the cid style rifle.

Exercise for the Bilious.

AS simple illustration take the man OF
sedentary occupationp prone to what is called
biliousness. He is assured that he needs ex-
ercise, and so enters upon the practice Of
walking four or five miles, or even longer
distances, daily. He improves, it cannot but
be benefit to him. Still, were he to devote
a part of the time given to walking to a more
varied form of exercise, he would find it less
of task and the gain still greater. To get
the greatest good out of a walk one must
fling his arms around and so carry himself as
to bring every muscle of the body into play.
But few people would care to indulge in such
an exhibition on public street, and so when
the generality of them walk they do SO almost
entirely with their legs, in other words, only
the lower half of the body is much exercised.
The bilious patient, especially, needs to exer
else all parts alike, and SO draw the blood
from the liver into the muscular system, re-
Leving that important organ, which is more
or less congested.
Again, to mechanically compress the livef
and assist it to empty itself is necessary.
When a man rides horseback, the liver is
actually churned. as it were, and that is why
bilious patients derive so much benefit from
that peculiar form of exercise. II man
who walks four or five miles a day could
give no longer time to physical work than
that, he would do better if he walked half
the distance and spent what remained of his
time in a gymnasium, or in saving wood

How Clothespins Are Made.

Clothespins are made in the lumber regions
They are usually made of white ash, some
times of beach, black and white birch and
maple. The wood is taken to the factory in
logs and cut into lengths of thirty-one inches
by circular saws. These lengths are then cut
into blocks and the blocks again cut into
sticks The sticks are placed under another
saw, and cut into the required lengths. Next
the turner takes hand at them and from
there they go to the slotting machine. They
are placed in troughs by the operator, the
machine picking them up and slotting them.
They are then placed in a revolving pipe drier
going thence to the polishing cylinder and
then to the packer.
Each pin passes through eight hands. A
single plant consist of board saw, gang split
ter gang chunker, turning lathe, drying
house and polisher and costs from $1,000 to
SIP, 600 The machines working are very in
teresting The little blocks of wood five and
a half inches long are placed on an endless
belt, which feeds the blocks automatically
into the lathe. As the lathe is turned the
pin is taken automatically from the spindle
and placed on a turntable and carried to q
circular saw, which whittles out the slot in
the pin 1t is then finished and thrown out of
the turntable by the same appliance that puts
the pins on the table. Falling, they are
caught in a basket or barrel and are then
taken to the drying house fer ten to twenty
four hours, or until dry The polishing cyl
inder or rumbler holds twenty 10 forty BUSH

turns minute, and by simple friction and
contact they become poliShed.-New York

JuriositieS of Magnetism.

Most well informed people are doubtless
aware that the globe on which they live is
a great ball of magnetism, but compare
lively few have an adequate idea of the
influence this property is continually ex
erting on all sides. that many common
but inexplicable phenomena can be traced
directly TO this source. Statistics go to
show that in the matter of steel rails, as
many as thirteen will become crystalized
and break where they go to make up
railroad track running east. and west,
before one of those on a north and south
track is similarly affected. This is entirely
due to the magnetism generated by fric-
ton, and the fact that the polarity Of the
magnetic current is in the former instance
resisted in the headlong rush of the train,
whereas in the latter case it is undisturbed.
Another strange effect OF this peculiar
and occult force is that exerted on the
watches OF train men. 4 timepiece car
ried by the conductor running a train
twenty miles an hour, however accurate
it may be, will, If the speed OF the train is
increased TO, say, fifty miles, become use
less until regulated. The magnetism gen
Grated by the fight OF train may be said
to be in proportion TO the speed with which
it is propelled, and the delicate parts of a
watch, numbering al the way from 400 to
1000 pieces, and peculiarly susceptible TO
this influence by reason Of the hannmering
and polishing they have received, are not
slow 10 feel the effect.-Boston Budget

A StorY for Viyfaectionisfs.

A physician, who was also professor in
medical college, was engaged for great part
of his time in the vivisection OF animals. He
had little daughter Of whom he was very
fond, who was tenderly devoted to him. He
resorted TO all sorts Of methods to prevent
her from learning Of his chief occupation
She grew to the age of IA without any krowi-
edge of the fact. One day she was visited
by another girl, of her own age, who, with
tears in her eyes, said she had lost her white
greyhound
What shall we do to find herr the visitor
asked
"Oh, know" said the doctors daughter,
1--WE will go to the college and get papa, and
he will help US find her, for you know there's
no time TO be lost"
The two girls started for the Medical cob
Iege A careless doorkeeper let them into
the laboratory where the professor was a.
work They saw two students standing over
table, and the young girls father, the doc
tor, was engaged in the work of dissection
upon living dog, which was none other
than the lost greyhound.
"Leda!" screamed the dogs mistress
The poor animal heard the call, reused IL
self and sprang away from it's tormentors
1t was unable 10 stand and sank again to the
floor. The dogs mistress screamed and
rushed away from the room. But the pro-
lessons daughter remained, as still and pale
as death, her eyes wide open and staring at
her father. Just as he looking up, perceived
what had happened, he saw his daughter
sinking down in faint. He sprang to her
and seized her in his arma She did not re-
cover consciousness for two days, and was
then in a terrible fever. Recovering from
the fever, it was found that she had well
nigh lost her reason She will, the narrator
of the story says, probably always be the
victim of monomania-- Transcript

FROM OFFICE TO OFFICE.
vagabond Peddlers Who Thrive on Small
Profits and Quick Sales.

The business section of this city has from
time irnmemoriaI been curiously infested by
decidedly originafand enterprlslng crowd
of small traders, SPECTATORS and other adj
venturers with whom slight profits and quick
sales are a maxim 1t is not only the shoe
string peddlers and such like cheap jacks
who thrive by going from office to office, but
men of almost every craft. While l was in
one Office the other day peripatetic phrenolo-
gist came in and wanted to feel our bumps.
In another l found a corn doctor planning
down the tenants feet. At another still, a
vagrant sleight-of hand performer did some
tricks and passed around the hat, and BARRIERS,
furniture members, glaciers, carpenters and
painters travel about in search Of jobs and
probably find them.
There is scarcely anything man cannot
buy down town in the course Of a week, With
out leaving his office. Tailors' agents will
measure him for clothes, to be made here or
in London. Vendors will supply him with
hats and boots and Undertaking; he can
buy cigars and song birds, and beer and dogs,
and whisky and sealskins for bis wife, and
toys for the youngsters, from the vantage
ground of his Office chair There are drum
mers who go about soaring up trade for shirt
manufacturers, and others who offer building
lots, and houses, and furniture for sale on
the installment plan, while as for the fine
arts and literature they have their agents
everywhere, ready to deal for cash or credit,
as occasion may demand.
The customers of these venturesome trades
men are not drawn from the highest ranks
of trade 1t is as impossible for a peddler to
get at a great financier, or lawyer, or mer-
chant as it would be for him to enter the
kingdom of heaven by climbing a telegraph
pole But there are thousands of men who
are engaged in minor businesses, running
offices of their own and easily accessible to
the public as it passes, and upon these the
peddlers prey. Wit goes great way toward
making trade. The vender who can talk
well and crack joke with facility will pros
per even in the worst of times There is one
young fellow who sells writing pads alone
among the artists and other independent oc-
cupants of downtown offices, who might own
quite a snug bank account by this time if he
saved the money he picks up. But, like
most of his kind, there is shiftless streak in
him, and he does not try over hard to sell his
wares when he does not actually need money.
This seems to be the weakness of all of these
vagabond industrials. Sufficient for the day
is the good thereof, and ample for the man
is that fortune which keeps his wants of the
hour supplied. There do not seem to be as
many women among these random mer-
chants asthere once were. Even the female
book agent is not as numerous as she used to
be- But the number of men so busted con-
tinues to increase with years and, to all APP
pearances, to grow in prosperity with time,
too.-Alfred Trumble in New York News
