Where Cow Bells Are Made.

Co~ilinsvflle, ILL.,, is a great place for
cattle bells. That COW bells are made
and do not grow on trees or elsewhere
seems to surprise some people. but
there are four establishments in the
United States which r exclusively
Iaeyoted to the manufacture of that res
9nant article, and two of these r in
ls~oIlinsville. One hundred and fifty
llIozen are turned ont daily and thou
gsnds of them bangle from the necks
oIunfortunate COWS all over the prai-
rT Il of North and South America. The
nd hufacture of cow-bells is entirely
DID tinct from that of other bells. In.
sted of being nodded the metal is
rolled into sheets, cut into symmetric-
al polygons, which, when folded, are
pressed into their well-known form.
Having Been rivetted they are next
packed in clay and brought TO a white
heat. Whea suddenly cooled these
steel bells are found to be not only
tempered, but also beautifully brazed

Many Interesting Points for Seekers After
Reliable Information.
There are many interesting facts
connected with salt which it is well
sometimes to remember. To begin
with the name itself, a curious fact is
to be noted. Salt was formerly re-
garded as a compound resulting from
the union of hydrochloric Cor, as it
used to be called, muriatic) acid and
soda, and hence the generic term of
salt was applied to all substances pro-
duced by the combination of a base
with an acid. Sir Humphrey Davy,
however, showed that during their ac-
ton on each other both the acid and the
alkall underwent decomposition, and
that while water is formed by the
union Of the oxygen Of the alkali and
the hydrogen of the acid, the sodium
of the former combines with the chic
rine of the latter to form a chloride of
sodium, and this term is the scientific
designation of salt, which, paradoxical
as it may seem, is not a salt. Chloride
of sodium must be considered economic
ally under two heads, relating respect
lively to sea or bay salt, and to rock or
mineral salt. The n is probably de-
rived from the other, most rock-salt
deposits bearing evidence of having
been formed at remote geological Pc
RODS by evaporation from the sea. At
one time nearly the whole Of the salt
used as food and for industrial pur-
poses was obtained from the sea, and
in many countries where the climate is
dry and warm, and which have a con-
v~enient seaboard, a great quantity of
salt is still SO obtained. In Portugal
more than two hundred and fifty thou
sand tons IRE annually produced, and
the same quantity approximately is
obtained on the Atlantic dhd Medlter-
ranean coasts of France. Spain has
salt works in the Balearic Islands, the
Bay of Cadiz and elsewhere, which turn
out annually three hundred thousand
tons, and even the small seaboard of
Austria produces every year from sew
enty thousand to one hundred thousand

o SALAMANDERS.
The Habits of One of the Most Harmless
of Batrachian Creatures.

The Habits of One of the Most Harmless
of Batrachian Creatures.
Considerable ignorance exists, even
among persons of education, as to
the habits of the salamander. The
mere mention of this harmless little
batrachian recalls to the minds of
most people mystic ideas with respect
to ire-eating and fire-inhabiting Great
ures. which have probably caused
many of the poor little brutes to be
burnt by experimental philosophers
who should have been far above be-
LEE in such absurdities. The spotted
salamander is lamp-black, with nut
nervous large, yellow spots and stripes,
and is very common all over Southern
Europe as well as in Northern Africa.
It haunts all of dark and cool
places, such as cavities under logs
of wood, and holes in old walls,
where they can find a supply Of
insects, worms, or slugs. 1t is an in
teresting sight to watch the sala-
mattder when about to make a meal un
a worm. For a few minutes it remains
almost motionless, with its large black
eyes turned down upon the victim.
Then, with marvellous rapidityy. 1T
pounces down upon the worm, and
seizes it by the middle; the extremi-
ties are left twisting violently around
the muzzle. 1t then pushes the worm
piece by piece down its throat, by
means of it's clawless and nailless fore
paws. All the salamander's move
ments are performed with such absurd
solemnity that the most hardened rep
tile-hater could not be uninterested.
Sometimes the simple operation of
swallowing a large worm will last full

Longevity.

Scientific men see no reason why the
span of human life may not be extended to
q round hundred years from the present
limit of seventy to eighty years.
The age to which persons lived varies in
Old Testament chronology.
From Adams time to that Of Methuse-
lah and Noah, men are recorded as attain
ing to well nigh the age of 1000 years
The Psalmist David, however, says: THE
days of our age are threescore years and
ten; and though men be 80 strong that they
come to fourscore years, yet Is their strength
then but labor and sorrow; SO soon passeth
it away, and we are gone"
This wide margin of longevity, together
with proper observance of mental, moral
and physical laws, leads Investigators to
believe it is possible that human life might
be made to increase in length of days to q
full century, at least.
Moderation and regularity in eating,
drinking and sleeping are conducive to
longe witty, and those who observe proper
habits and use pure End eficacious reme-
dies whom sick, may accomplish immense
labor with no apparent injuryto themselves
and without foreshortening their lives.
Hon. II. H. Warner, President of the
Rochester, N. Y, Chamber of Commerce,
and manufacturer of the celebrated War
ner's Safe Cure, has devoted much time
and research to this subject of longevity,
and has arrived at the satisfactory conclu-
sion that life may be prolonged and mans
virile powers Increased and preserved at
the same time by rational and natural
means. Thousands of persons are living
to-day-enjoying the blessing Of cperfect
health aL7ro .gor-who will testify to the
almost magical efficacy of Warmers Safe
Cure in restoring them to physical potency
and to the normal type of constitution,
after they had almost given up hope OF life.
After middle age, many begin to lose
their wonted vigor of body, and thereupon
give way to inertness and useless repining.
Yet all such have within reach that which
both renew youth and contributes to the
prolongation of life. Warmers marvellous
Safe Cures are in every drug store, and are
now regarded as standard specifics through
out the civilized world.
The strong desire to attain old age
meantime retaining the virile powers OF
body and minds necessarily connected
with the respect paid to aged persons, for
people would scarcely desire to be old, were
the aged neglected or regarded with mere
s~ufferance. That is a high civilization IN
which age is made q source of ~distincti~-

willingly paid, because every one who does

A Kentucky Nan Offended His NeighbOrs
by Bringing a Lawsuit.
ST. LOUIS, May 3, 1SS9.-Reports come
from Marion, KY, of a White Cap out
rage by a mob of masked men, who took
Alfred Mcdowell, living in the eastern
portion of the county, and numerically
whipped him.
Robert Kemp, a neighbor of Mcdowell,
charged him with stealing a bag of wheat.
Mcdowell threatened to sue Kemp for
damages. Kemp then retracted and said
he intended it as a joke. This settled the
trouble, but a few days ago Kemp once
more charged Mcdowell with the deed.
This reached Mcdowell, who went to
Marion and instituted a suit against
Kemp for $4,000.
That night he received a notice stating
that If he did not leave home in ten days
he would be visited by a mob. He deter
mined to leave the State, but his friends
advised him not to. His friends
guarded him several nights, but as soon
as they ceased to do SO the mob found it
out and on Saturday night took him from
his house and whipped him until he was
unable to stand.
CRocKsToN, Mimi, May 8, 1889.-An
outrage was committed here Wednesday
night on an i~noffensiYe citizen named
Jake Zenholt. He was taken from his
room at the Cleveland House, bound,
gagged and numerically beaten. Then
he was taken to the outskirts of the town
and tarred and feathered, a rope was
placed around his neck, and he was
dragged a mile and left for dead. He re-
covered sensibility and informed the po-
lice.
He now lies in a precarious condition,
with but little hope of his recovery.
His aSsailantS were identified n ar
rested, and are now in Jail.
