How salmon Is Canned.

The salmon caught in the seines and
| gill nets are brought to the cannery wharf,
counted and thrown into heaps. China
men are mostly employed for subsequent
operations. They take each fish, cut off
the head, tail and fins, remove the entrails
and throw the rest of the animal into big
tub. Next the fish is washed and placed
In a trough, where several knives, acting
after the manner of a feed cutter, slice it
| into sections exactly as long as the height
of a can. These sections are set on end and
split into three pieces each-one piece large
enough to fill the can, while the others are
smaller The fragments are then placed
on tables and the Cinnamon fit them into
the cans. Next the covers are put on the
cans and soldered
After being soldered the cans are put

Making a Dictionary.

French literary genius aims at perfec
ton of form. 1t was this aim that orig
mated the French Academy two centuries
and a half ago. The society early began
to compose dictionary, but progressed SC
slowly with the work that some witty per
son gave it the name of the Academy OF
Do Nothing" Cardinal Richelieu obtained
for Vaugelas the renewal of a pension
that he might devote all his time TO the
dictionary. When the scholar went u
thank the cardinal, the great minister ad
vanoed to meet him. well, M. Vaugelas, y
said he, with smile, you will not forget
the word pension in the dictionary. "No
your eminence," replied Vaugelas, with q
profound bow, land still less the word
gratitude"
Vaugelas worked for ten years with dill.
gence as head of the committee to prepare
the notes of the dictionary. which were
read at each sitting Of the Academy. Col
bert, the celebrated minister of Louis XIV,
himself an acedemician. was displeased AT
the slowness with which the committee
worked Being practical man, and think
ing that when work was TO be done II
should be done at once. he went one day to
rebuke them
He found them busy upon the word ami,
and listened to their discussions. Perceiv-
ing the time thought and labor necessary
for the definition Of one word, be frankly
confessed that the making OF dictionary
was a much more complicated affair than
he had supposed.-Blackford' Magazine

Wooden D4ooy&,

Shut up in a drawer at the national
museum, where nobody has the privilege
of seeing them, is a curious collection OF
decoys. Perhaps the funniest among them
is pup seal about a foot and a half long,
quite artistically carved out of wood Its
little paws are folded across its chest, and
it is intended to float on IT'S back upon the
water, just rs the animal IL represents does
in real hfe. However, 10 is not meant as a
dscoy for mother seals, as may be imag
ined, but as float for tying fishing line
to. Fishes, recognizing the innocence o.
pup seals in general, are not likely to sus-
pect that one would dangle hook and
line to catch them. This is an Alaskan
decoy, of course.
The natives of that region employ decay
ducks made of wood in a similar fashion
not to attract real ducks within reach OF
arrows or bullets, but as floats merely. TIC
the floats, set a-swimming in the rivers,
lines are attached, with hooks and bait for
salmon. No ordinarily wise salmon would
be afraid of a duck. So these fishes bite
eagerly at the lures suspended from the
counterfeit birds in the water and are
caught.
Another very queer decoy in the drawer
is fish, cut out of wood and painted white.
No label states, unfortunately, precisely
how it is employed, although it is certain
that it is counterfeit intended to attract
some big fishes. b salmon could swal-
low prey of such size, and it may be de
signed as bait for them Think, however,
of the disgust which would be felt by any
scaly ogre at finding that he had taken in
a wooden fish one foot long.-Washington

Butter and Candy Do Not Injure chiIdre,

Butter ana tanuy DO NOt inJure thiluren.
Dr. J. c. White, of Harvard university,
in lecture touches on the old wives fable
that butter in liberal quantities will cause
children's faces to break out with butter
sores He declares, what intelligent peo-
pie have long known, that good butter un-
cooked is perfectly harmless food, so far as
the skin is concerned, and he might have
gone much farther, for the limitation was
unnecessary.
He says. however, that the notion alluded
to probably came from the fact that the
use of impure butter in food otherwise in
digestible may have disturbed the stomach
and produced impure blood in some cases.
1t is more likely TO come from the efforts
of parents of limited means to curb their
children's indulgence in an expensive dain-
ty IL is certain that much of the preju-
dice against candy came from this particu-
lar cause, though with candy as with but
ter the prejudice is entirely justifable in
reference 10 adulterated and impure
grades.
Nothing is more common than to hear
parents tell their children that eating can
DIV viii ruin their teeth, but no educated
dentist will indorse the statement
The notion that buckwheat cakes and
oatmeal are productive of skin diseases is
also attacked and pretty thoroughly de-
molished by Professor White. as well as
that sbsurcity about tomatoes which was
started by Dio Lewis a generation or 20
ago He said that tomatoes were prodac-
tive OF cancer and that they loosened and
destroyed the teeth.-PittSburg Bulletin

Antiquity of Leather.

The old tanner is very nearly rlght
when he says ''leather dates from time
unknown, for leather is of the very
highest antiquity. Long before the
DAYS of Noah's ark there were tilose
who, according to Holy Writ, lived IN
tents and kept cattle. It's hardly TO be
doubted that these people who tended
aocks and herds which furnished
them both with meat and drink, also
made use of the skins of their animals
for articles of clothing, and therefore
very early acquired some knowledge OF
the tanners art. IN the book OF Gene
sis mention is made of colored leather
and all evidences of an extraneou'
character go to show that some simple
method of tanning and dressing th'
skins of animals was known before ever
