Where Cow Bells are Made.

Collinsville, Ills, is 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 devoted to
manufacture of that article, and two
of these are in Collinsville. One hun
dred and fifty dozen are turned out daily
and thousands of them dangle from the
necks of unfortunate cows all over the
prairies of North and South America.
The manufacture of COW bells is entirely
distinct from that of other bells In
stead of being nodded the metal is rolled
into sheets, cut into symmetrical poly
CONS, which when folded are pressed
into their well known form Having
been riveted they are next packed IN
clay and brought to a white heat When
suddenly cooled these steel bells are
found to be- not only tempered but also
beautifully brazed. st. Louis Post-pis-

A Brave Kangaroo.

A very pathetic story comes from Aus
tralia describing kangaroo's daring for
the sake of her young. The owner of a
country station was sitting one evening
on the balcony outside his house when
he was surprised to notice a kangaroo
lingering about, alternately approaching
and retiring from the house. as though
half in doubt and fear what to do. At
length she approached the water pals,
and, taking a young one from her pouch,
held it to the water to drink. While her
baby was satisfying its thirst the mother
was quivering all over with excitement,
for she was only a few feet from the bal
cony on which one of her great foes was
sitting watching her. The little one hav-
ing finished drinking, it was replaced in
the pouch, and the old kangaroo started
Off at a rapid pace. When the natural
timidity of the kangaroo is taken into
account it will be recognized what aston
ishing bravery this affectionate mother
betrayed. 1t is pleasing ending to the
story to be able to state that the eve wit
ness was so affected by the scene that
from that time forward he could never
shoot kangaroo.-New York Telegram.

( BIown Out to Sea In a boat He Was Res
eued from Sharks After Seven Daya.
/ A remarkable story of the sea comes
/ from st. Malo, the narrator being an an
cient mariner named Bauche, whose pain
full experiences in small boat on the
ocean ought to be warrant for the truth
Of his tale. Bauche had signed articles
with the captain of vessel called the
Mathilde, in which he sailed to Marti-
nique. While in the harbor of st. Pierre
in a boat with the cabin boy one day he
was driven oceanward by gale of wind
and was knocked about for a week on the
waves before he was rescued by Nor
wegian bark.
After the first night at sea Bauche says
that the cabin boy became partly deliri-
{ us, water was filling the boat every in
slant. and in order to prevent the dying
lad from being drowned in 1t the old
sailor made pals from the legs of his
pantaloons. and was thus enabled to keep
the bottom of the little craft tolerably
dry. He had also to deprive himself of
his shirt, which he utilized as flag of
distress. On the third day the cabin boy
his body before seven or eight ferocious
black sharks began to circle round the
boat, which they sometimes almost
touched. Rather than deliver up the
dead body to the monsters of the deep
Bauche kept it until it became decom-
posed
Being afraid of illness, he at length
threw it overheard after having said his
prayers over it, and the prey was speed
lily seized by the sharks, who disappeared
with it and did not show up again for
about twenty-four hours or so.
Bauche now felt SO utterly miserable
that he was thinking of throwing him
self overheard, when he was dissuaded
from his intention by the temperance
of the sharks, who, after eying him raw
enously for some time, actually began to
gambol before him, as if in anticipation
of good feed off his body. 81 did not
want to be eaten alive" remarked
Bauche, in his narrative of his perilous
adventures, $50 | remained where / was
and awaited assistance" On the seventh
day the sailor lost consciousness, fell
down in the boat, and was rescued in an
insensible condition by Capt. Paterson,
of the Vladimir.
In his mouth the Norwegian sailors
found what they first thought was an old
quid of tobacco, but which proved to be
part of the horn handle of his knife,
which Bauche was crunching to stave
off hunger when he became unconscious
The rescued sailor, after having been
taken to New Orleans, obtained pas

There were scores Of passengers walt

wearing a quaint old bonnet, and having
the traditional number of parcels ana
bandboxeB with her. She had eaten n
fried cake and drunk from a bottle Of
cold tea, and after brushing the crumbs
away she took from her pocket a whet-
stone and a pocket knife and began put

general stir of interest around her, and

1t has been a fashion to make bookcases
highly ornamental. Now books want for
and in themselves no ornament at all.
They are themselves the ornament. Just
as shops need NJ ornament, and no one
will think of or care for any structural
ornament if the goods are tastefully dis
posed in the shop window. The man who
looks for society in his books will readily
perceive that, in proportion rs the face Of
his bookcase is occupied by ornament, he
loses that society; and, conversely, the
more that face approximates to a sheet
of book backs, the more of hat society
he will enjoy. And so it is that three
great advantages come hand in hand,
and, as will be seen, reach their maximum
together; the sociability of books, mini
mum of cost in providing for them, and
ease OF access to them.-Nineteenth Cen
tury.
