Novel Use for Cutie Bone.

A novel use has been found for cutie
bone by jewellers They employ it in
stead of sand to make small castings,
quite delicate impressions of models
being produced in its fine grain b.

in sand. Sometimes a score of bones
smoothed TO plates and scverally inn
pressed are connected by wires in a
pile, with minute apertures and chan

the bones are crumbled away, a tree of

is presented, TO be broken up and

TAR AND FEATHERS.
TheIr Use in the Punishment of PubIi
Offenders.

XheIr Use in the Punishment of Public
Offenders.
An ancient fable preserves an Incl
dent of dame who, wishing to punish
a cure, a provost and forester for per
scouting her with their dishonorable
suits, made appointments with them &c
visit her, and then contrived that they
should be stripped and thrown into a
cask full of feathers, whence they were
hunted by her husband, with all the
dogs and inhabitants of the village al
their heels. in England this penalty
was introduced for different offense in
1882 when Richard l., before setting
out for the Holy Land, ordained, in
order to preserve the discipline of his
feet, that whatsoever should be con.
victed of theft should first have his head
shaved; that boiling pitch should then
be poured upon it, and cushion OF
feathers shaken over it. He was after
ward to be put on shore at the first
place the ship touched at; though, after
a baptism of boiling pitch, the poor
wretch, fancy, would have little life
left in him. In modern times the prac-
tice has found favor with the populace
as means of readily executing justice
on an offender whom the law, perhaps,
shows no anxiety to reach.-Gentle.

newspapers. He was very thinly cald and

to keep warm. His voice was hoarse
from cold, and passers-by could hardly
hear him shout Some rude boys jeer-

thirteen years old, rather better dress
ed than the rest, after looking at him
for few moments walked up to him
and said. ''Shall ! shout for you?" The
old man thought the 10y was making
fun of him and told him to 'be off, :"
but the boy began to call out, Morn

shrill voice, which attracted so many
customers that in little while the old
man had sold all his stock. He offered
to divide the profits with his youthful
partner, but the boy would take moth

We think they do, but there j someth-
ing wrong with the poultry Part of it.
| give few reasons for thinking so.
In the first place there are ali kinds
and varieties Of poultry on exhibition.
Pure bred and mongrels.
In the second place there are all
and any kind of judges for poultry
One man takes pains and has good
pure bred poultry, he takes them to
the fair with an idea of getting first
prize, but instead he gets nothing.
Perhaps his birds get the roup and die
for him, and the man who has the
mongrels gets the prize. Why is this ?
1t is because the men who are chosen
as judges know very little if any thing
about poultry.
Hence our finest specimens are as
general thing left at home. When
if we had them scored by the standard
and justice given to all, it would have
tendency to bring out the best stock
the county affords, and as the better
the exhibits, the more people, I think
it certainly an inducement for the
managers to look after this matter.
