Indiscriminate Applause.
From the Buffalo Commercial.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
At the New England dinner in New
York the company under the mellowing
influences of the occasion apparently
lost its sense of discrimination and
propriety TO certain extent. as the
Following paragraph from the report of
one of the after-dinner speeches made
by Major-General Howard would in
dictate:
''Last week one of our best men,
General Alfred Fl. Terry (applause), a
man to the Army what Rear-Admiral
Worden is to the Navy, after a painful
illness long continued, has passed to the
other shore. A gallant soldier, a
representative volunteer, refined
gentleman, heightened, noble general,
has advanced to his reward. Gap
plause.) Peace be to his remains !
Continued applause)."
The reception given to these elegiac
sentiments by the company seems to
have been much the same as that
evoked by the happiest hits of the
evening. The discretion and thought
lnlness of the reporter in emitting
(much laughter), ETC., are at least to be
commended

How They Fix the Cat-Gut.
From the New York Sun.

Few anglers and lesser few of
laymen have any idea of the process of
manufacture by which the intestines of
the silkworm are transformed into the
glistening leaders which are used upon
fishing lines. While other southern
countries produce the article, the city of
Murcia, IN the province Of that name,
in Spain, is the center where the manu-
facture is carried to the greatest per-
lection. The worms are reared from
the eggs in buildings attached to the
factories. They are fed copiously, and
when they have attained to size of
three inches in length by two in cir
cumference, and are about to breed,
they are plunged into vinegar. This is
the picking process. After remaining
in the sour essence for some time they
are taken out, the heads removed, the
skin peeled off, leaving little else but
the bloated entrails, which closely
resemble strips of gristle. The action of
the vinegar causes the, ;ntestines to
swell abnormally, which enables them
to be handled with greater facility. The
sllkwOrm now passes into the hands OF
women, who seize the humid entrail
and draw it out to any desired length,
all the while keeping the fingers assidu-
ously at work to discover any weak
spots, rejecting all which are not per-
feet. The usual lengths, which may aft
erward be joined to any extent, are
over two feet, only about one-half of
these having any consistency, the ends
being mere filaments which are only
valuable for making a splice. In the
first process the gut is of deep yellow
tint, but the bleaching, which is con-
Quoted with the utmost secrecy, i'm
parts to it the beautiful silvery sheen
seen in the finished article. After the
first bleach the gut is carefully sorted
and the imperfections caused by
the splitting removed; then it is
ready to be made into parallel
skeins, fifty of which consti-
tute commercial package. There are
many grades of the stuff; the fine, the
refined, the silky. and the rich pure
imperial, also CUTS of short lengths
dyed to any desired colors; in addition,
there are many other articles manlpu-
lated from this product of the silk
worm. Not all by any means of that
which is sold by dealers is the genuine
article All kinds of CUTS are used to
manufacture spurious. 1t was con-
sidered at one time that the unbleached,
very transparent sort, would be more
desirable. An effort was made to pro-
cure it from the factories at Murcia.
The manufacturers were entirely will
ing to supply it. and assured those who
wished it that it would be found of lit
tie practical value because in the I'M
bleached state the gut is in the rough,
and needs that process to perfect its

OreCOn'S Nickel Mine.
From the Marshfield (oregon) Coast Ma.

From the Marshfield (Oregon) Coast Mail
AS America generally is not large
producer of nickel, Oregon has a
particular interest in this new
application of the metal, as it is known
to exist in quantity in a mine near
Biddle, in Douglas County. Last
summer Mr.. Leigh Harnett, in writing
up that county, gave an elaborate
account of the mine, which is owned
principally by California men, and
proved by figures not to be disputed
the great value of mine, with view to
inducing the owners to put up mill,
and thus make Oregon nickel pro-
Queer. But the owners, though rich,
were not enterprising men and pre-
terred to sell the mine, fixing the price
at $300,O00 Since then a number of
negotiations have been going on for
the purchase of the mine by Eastern
capitalists. In conversation with Mr..
Harnett few days ago on the subject,
he said there was enough of high
grade ore in sight to supply the gov
erment with nickel for years, as the
mine stands to-day, without further
development; that is, at the rate of ad
mixture of the metals required-95 per
cent of steal and 5 per cent. Of nickel.
Mr.. Harnett claims the ore in the
Douglas County mines could be worked
at a profit of $3.50 q ton. including
refinement, the heaviest item.

FASHIONS NEVER CHANGE.

Men and Women Dress the Same for
1000 Years.
From the Demorests Magazine.
The costumes of the Lapps have not
altered very much for the last 1,0OC
years. Their summer garment is usually
of coarse WOODEN goods, and has some
thing the cut of shirt with high collar.
Among the sea Lapps it is for the most
part undyed; among the other Lapps
usually blue, sometimes green or brown,
and even black smock-frOcks have been
seen.
Around the wristbands, along the seam
in the back and on the edges this smock
is ornamented with strips of red and yell
low cloth. Under this garments SINH
lar one, either plain or older, worn next
the body, for the Lapp never wears
linen underclothing.
The trousers or drawers are of white
WOODEN goods, rather narrow and reach
ing to the ankles, where they are tied
inside the shoes with long, slender
shoestriEgs. Over these drawers are
usually worn leggings of thin, tanned
skins, reaching from the ankles to the
knees.
Stockings the Lapp never wears. He
fills the upward curving tip of his shoes
with sort of grass, which is gathered in
summer and beaten to make it soft
and pliable. The winter costume only
differs from that worn in summer in
that every piece is made Of reindeer
skin with the hair on.
The dress of the women differs very
slightly from that worn by the men.
The smock is somewhat longer and is
made without the big, standing collar,
instead of which kerchief or cape is
worn about the neck
To the woven and often silver orna-
mented girdle hangs a knife, scissors,
key and needle and thread. The head
covering is not only different in the two
sexes, but also differ according to the To-
