Where Cow-Beils Are Made.

Collinsville, H., 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 are exclusively de-
voted to manufacture Of that resonant
article, and two of these are in Collins
vile. One hundred and ifty dozen are
turned out daily, and thousands of
them dangle from the necks OF unfor-
tunate cows all over the praries of
North and South America The manu-,
fscture of cow-bells is entirely distinct
from that of other bells. Instead OF be-
ing moulded, the metal is rolled into
sheets, cut into .symetrical polygons,
which. when folded, are pressed into
their well>known form. Having been
rlvited, they are next packed in clay and
brought to white heat. When suds
denly cooled these steel bells are found
to be not only tempered but also beati-
fully brazed.

The SuperstitiOus Chinese.

The Chinese are full of superstitions
and many of them firmly believe that
the foreigners make medicines out Of
human beings. The massacre at Tien.
Tsin in 1870, in which twenty foreign.
ers were killed and among them nun.
Der of French nuns, was caused by tia
report that the Sisters were killing
children to get their hearts and eyes for
medical purposes, and the trouble in
Corea last Spring was caused by the
circulation of the stories that the mis-
sionaries were grinding up childrens
bones to make medicine. The repor.
was started by the Chinese. a trls
monthly magazine which the Chinese
publish, in a recent issue, contained
full description of how Foreigners made
their medicine, with ghastly illustrs.

Girard House clerk, as he threw down
key to which was attached rough
edge brass tag about the size of a buck
wheat cake.
"Oh slow trains Slow trains
they seemed 20 stop everywhere and at
all the little cross roads"
That's queer"
II should say 1t was. Why at one
place they stopped about seven minutes,
while half dozen people came out OF
the only house to be seen in the neigh
borhood and boarded the train. Did
you ever hear anything like 1t r'
Never"

long, shaggy hair, who had overheard

Philadelphia directory for the name of
Boston firm.
"You have ?''
eyes You may not believe It, but
it's a fact. Some years ago l used TO
travel good deal on the Old COLONY
railroad, up in Massachusetts,. There
was place called Wheat Sheat Lane,
where the train stopped nearly every
day for an old woman, who was always
there to send some eggs TO town. Now,
would you believe It? One day the
train stopped ss usual for Aunt Betsy
who was there with her eggs, but she
only had eleven. She said that an ole
hen was still on The nest, and she want
ed the train to wait until she coulC
make up the Dozen"
"Yes."
''Weu, III be darned II that trair
didn't wait while the hen laid the extr
egg"
The late arrival said he guessed b
would go TO bed, the bediamoned hote
clerk swooned, and the little old ma
walked down the corridor aud droppe
wearily into chair.

A Large Pendulum.

The longest pendulum on this conti-
nent swings in the archaeological school
at Atlanta, Ga. 1t is a heavy pear
shaped piece of iron attached to brass
wire torty-two feet long. The upper
end of the wire is piyoted in a steel
plate so as to cause the least possible
friction. The swinginging Of the PEN
dulum gradually describes a circle on
the floor in a direction following the
sun, showing in this that 1.-THE earth do
move.''
Directly under the pendulum is a
large circle divided into twenty-four
parts. of fifteen degrees each, to CORES
pond with the hours of the day. The
north pole is placed directly under the
pendulum and the meridIans of longi-
itude make smaller circles outside the
| first.
Dr.J. 5. Hopkins, president of the
school, who made and put up the pendu-
lum, performs the experiment as fol-
lows: The iron is brought to the edge
| of the circle in the meridian of Atlanta
and let swing across. Apparently It
goes straight across, but gradually il
traverses the circle In the direction TAX
en- by the sun and opposite to the revo-
luton Of the earth. The pendulum not
being directly over the axis ofthe earth
does not move in exactly the same time
as the SUI, but falls behind some hours
a day. 1t is said that if it were at the
north pole, where it would be immed-
lately over the axis, it would tra7ersu
the circle in exactly twenty-fOur hours
and at the equator it would not travers,
it at all, for gravity would operate Il

Some Salmon Fishing Notes.

Not for many a year has there been
so much gear in the water this early
in the season, as has been since the
open time began on the 1st inst.
Men who never fished before have
fixed up any kind of boat and any
kind Of a net, and are thick from
Cathlamet up to above Vancouver:
the banks are lined with traps, and
every possible point is occupied by q
trap. The Historian is informed
that with the exception OF three can
neries, every cannery on the river has
from 60 boats upward.
On every shoal of sand is a seine.
At the Cascades fish wheels scoop
up everything indiscriminately.
Take all together il looks as if there
was to be "a killing" this year.
The boats are doing very poorly
five, six, eight to the boat: the traps
are not catching many so far; the
wheels are not yet in operation, but
soon will be.
The seine men expect to make a
big haul this year.
As an instance is given the seine Of
Otto Peters, at Reeds Island, two
miles above Kalama. He is reported
to be catching, some hauls, two tons OF
almon. He sells this at five cents a
pound.
Two hundred dollars a haul for a
seine isn't bad, though, Of course, it
won't average that amount.
One man, near Brookfeld, is re.
ported to have cleared $4,000 with
his seine last year.

Burnt Cork.

Goodyear Cook & Dillon's Minstrels
gave their initial performance at the
Alpha opera house last night to ar
audience that filled every available
space in the old Drury. Turning
hundreds away. And it goes,without
saying that not one of the vast con-
course of people went away dis.
appointed. The company which, is
an excellent one, soon placed them
selves in. accord with their patrons
and from the rising of the curtain
until the falling, there was one con
tinual round Of applause or ripple oi
laughter. The singing is far above
the average, the jokes new and re-
freshing, and the specialties all re.
fined in conception and artistic II
execution. Lack of space forbidt
our individualizing, suffice it that il
is the best minstrel show that ever
visited Tacoma, and We commend it
to any community they may visit, az
worthy Of patronage.-TacomG Globe

How Men Die.

II we know all the methods of ap-
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases a little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
carful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of 1t to be, the "bene-
actor of any home"
