How Shoe-Pegs Are Made.

Some of the shoe-peg factories of
New Hampshire now turn out three
hundred bushels of pegs daily. The
wood, being divided into sections cor
responding to the desired length OF
the peg. is first passed under a small
revolving cylinder which presses it
upon pointed knives, these making
minute grooves in the upper surface
of the wood, as it passes on toward
completion. The block Is then taken
and passed under another cylinder.
the knives of which make grooves
transverse to those made before. After
this the block is placed under the
splitting knife. which is SO arranged
as to fall into each of the grooves
made in one direction, splitting the
wood to the base; it is again passed
under a knife. which splits it cross
WISE, thus separating each peg from
every other peg; finally. a large re-
voving cylinder, heated, takes the
pegs and drives them. a revolving
wire cylinder Sits and sorts the va
rious sizes. and they are now ready
for shipment-N. Y. Sun.

Finding himself In trouble the rock
yelled out his note of alarm Up the
others cluttered, cawing their loudest

All their friends round about came to

the uproar. Flying round and dashing
down to him as though to get him out,
and finding this no use, they were
frightened out of their wits by their
comrades frantic shouts. and they
mounted high up in the air, cawing
their loudest. When the captive had
his neck twisted, and he was spread
eagled out on stick for his compan-
ions inspection, the business was set
tied; not a single rock has been near
the place from that time. / have

some does not affect the rest in the

the locality, it is stunned with the

BATHING IN ALASKA.
Processes That Are Decidedly DISAGREE

Processes That Are Decidedly Disagree
able to the Uninitiated.
Every Russian trading post. accord
ing to Mr.. Dali. has bath-house, and
once a week all the people avail them
selves of its privileges. The apparatus
is simple, not to say primitive, but the
method is what might be called heroic.
especially the dressing in room where
the temperature is below zero. A rude
arch of loose stones is built. and more
stones piled over it, so that a fire made
beneath the arch can penetrate between
them.
There is no chimney, but a trap-door
in the roof. A large cask full of water
heated for the purpose, and another of
cold water. generally with ice floating
in it, and succession of benches, one
above the other, complete the equip
ment. When the stones are thoroughly
heated, and the smoke has all passed
out, all Goals are removed and the trap
door is shut; any smoke or Goals re-
naming will make the eyes smart and
the bath very uncomfortable. Each one
leaves his clothing in an outer room.
and on entering vets his head and
throws hot water on the heated stones
until as much steam is produced as he
can bear. Then he mounts as high on
the benches as he finds comfortable,
and the perspiration issues from every
pore. Next he takes sort of broom
or bunch of dried mint or birch twigs,
with the leaves still on them, which is
prepared at the proper season and
called meesatE. With this he thrashes
himself till all impurities are thor
oughly 1oosened from the skin, and
finishes with a wash-off in hot water
and soap. Then taking a kasatag, Or
wooden dish, full of ice-cold water, he
dashes it over himself, and rushes out
into the dressing room.
This last process is disagreeable to
the uninitiated, but is absolutely neces-
sary to prevent taking cold. 1 have
known cases of acute rheumatism
brought on by emitting ii. The dress
ing-room is spread with straw. and al
ways communicates with the outer air.
The temperature is often many degrees
below zero. but such is the activity of
the circulation that one dresses in per-
feet comfort Notwithstanding. A warm
dressing-room would be insupportable.

FASHIONABLE WOMEN.
One Who Claims to Know Talks About the
Literature Affected By Them.

One Who Claims to Know Talks About the
Literature Affected By Them.
what do fashionable women read?"
I might answer ''every thing" covers
q large field in general way, and
prefer to deal with particularities just
now. have been told more than
once that the readers employed by
publishing houses to read the MSS. of
novels are almost invariably women,
and young women between the ages OF
twenty and twenty-five, The reason
given for this is that, as the majority
of novel readers are young women.
q young woman is considered the best
judge in this matter. This may be true
Or not, but it is true that a great many
elderly women devote a large portion
of their time to reading novels. They
are too old for much social lite. and
therefore have plenty of time to devote
to reading, and they seem to have a
fancy for the lightest kind of novels.
One elderly, crippled lady whom 1 once
had the pleasure of knowing, took q
great delight in books that told of
murders and the pursuit of the crimi-
nails by detectives. She declared that
she knew the Bible and prayer-book by
heart, for she had read them daily
through long life. and she read nov
els because she enjoyed them.
Coming down to the younger wom-
en-, there are many fashionable mar
ried women whose special pleasure ID
reading history and biography. know
several women who appear to pass the
greater part of their lives in society.
and yet they find time to read the best
novels of the day. the biographies,
memoirs and books of CORE
spondence that are being con-
stantly brought out, and the many vol
umes of poems. French novels are
much read by the women who hsbitu-
ally study the language during the
winter season and take an annual trip
abroad in the summer; but I find that
the French novel is often laid aside for
the study of some of the French classic
writer's. A few ambitious debutantes
make an attempt to keep up with one
Or two studies and do a little solid
reading, but before the season is well
under way their engagements are SO
numerous that the attempt falls
through, and if any time at all is de.
voted to books it is to the latest society
novel. The older girl, however, the
girl of a few seasons, finds time to
take up a language. and if she is in
earnest she accomplishes a good deal
of heavy reading.-N. Y. Star.

THE DEADLY OvERCOAT.

A Justification of the Sensible Man Who
Don't Wear One.
We protest against the indiscrimi-
nate use of the thick and heavy over
coat. We would rather see men in
fairly robust condition, especially if
young. clad warmly next the skin, and
wearing either a light top coat or none
at all There can be no doubt that the
habitual use of great coats is indirectly
accountable for the chills which they
are intended to prevent Were the
overcoat worn continuously it might
attain its object. Its Intermittent use,
even when ample underclothing is
worn, affords no solid guarantee safety.
but rather the reverse.
The man of sedentary habits has es-
pecial need to remember this He
energies daily from warm breakfast
room clothed in his ordinary winter
garments, with probably wooden under
wear, and over all the heavy ulster or
top coat. After a walk he finds that
the sense of warmth he began with is
more than maintained. He arrives at
his Office or place of business. and of
goes the overcoat. though the air of
the uewly-opened room is as cold as
that without, and draughty in addi-
ton During the day perhaps he
travels to and from adjacent business
houses wearing only his house cloth
ing. The oyercoat is laid aside till
closing time reminds him of the jour
ney home The frequent result is that
somehow, between the hours of his de-
parture and return, he is chilled. No
doubt, he would run as great a risk if,
lightly clad. he were to face the rigor
of a winter day. In this case, how
ever, exercise and habit might do
much to develop the power of endur-
ance, and there would, at all events,
be less danger of sudden cold acting
upon freely-perspiring surface
Wooden underclothing represents a
state of healthy comfort intermediate
between these extremes, and more re-
sistant to chill than either.-Laucet.
