How sleIrh Bells Arc made.

1.-THE making of sleigh bells is
quite an art, !" says an iron founder.
"The little iron ball is too big to be
put in through the holes in the bell,
and yet it is inside. How did 1t gel
there2 The little iron ball is called
the jinglet. When you shake the
sleigh bell it jingies. In making the
bell the jinglet is put inside little
ball of mud, just the shape of the in
side of the bell Then a mold is
made, just the sllape of the outside
of the bell. This mud ball with the
iinglet inside is placed in the mold
of the outside and the metal is poured
in, which fills up the space between
the ball and the mold
when the mold is taken off you
see a sleigh bell, but it viii not ring,
as it is full of dirt. The hot metal
that the bell is made Of dries the dirt
80 that it can be shaken out, After
the dirt is all shaken out of the holes
in the bell the little iron jinglet will
still be in the bell and will ring, II
took a good many years to think out
how TO make sleigh bell. LOWS

Coal Cutting ly Electr!eIty.

The apparatus which has been de
vised for coal cutting by electricity is
said to be successfully taking the
place Of the usual methods, and, in
its now perfect form. is regarded as
a valuable substitute, In its present
makeup the under cut is made by re-
volving tools. Generally the ma
chine consists of a stationary bed,
upon which slides a movable frame
bearing the cutting devices, and the
latter are gradually fed into the oval
as the knives or tools cut the oval
away in front of it, The electric
motor is attached to the movable
frame OF to the stationary bed, suit
able gearing or chains transmitting
the power to the cutters, and the
feed is automatic. New York Tele.

Victim Of the FIRE Habit.

a popular young physician living in
the neighborhood of Boston recently
took unto himself a bride, and at the
same time bought horse from one of
the townsfolk. He was very proud Of
both investments.
Soon after the happy young couple
had returned from their first trip to-
gether, and while the honeymoon was
still young, DR.. Newhusband took his
wife to ride. He was showing her some
thing Of her new home when suddenly
tho FIRE bells changed.
"Do you suppose the fire is anywhere
nenr our honse9' exclaimed the bride.
'.Oh. I'm so afraidp' and she drew closer
still closer to his manly breast.
Don't be afraid, DEAR" he answered,
"we've an excellent fire department"
At that moment the engine turned
into the street ahead of them and went
tearing down the road. Their horse
gave a jump and followed as fast as pos
sible. In vain were all efforts to check
tho beast. Through the town the pro-
cession flew, the engine in the lead. but
hard pressed by the buggy with its ter
ror stricken little wife and struggling
husband. The townsfolk stared in won
der, and the busybodies declared that
the doctors new wife was evidently q
iiier.
When the FIRE was reached the horse
stopped of his own accord, and the
couple returned to town.
The next day the man who sold the
horse, happening to meet the doctor,
carelessly remarked: "Oh, forgot TO
tell you that that animal used to belong
to the chief of the fire department You
will find him a good trotter, warrant
you. Boston Herald.

a Yankees schcne to Prevent the sTth-
terious Disappearance OF Men.
The latest from the brain of the
ingenious Yankee is even more prac-
tical than novel
Day after day it is to be read in
the papers that some unfortunate has
gone into a grave marked "un-
known" or perhaps some most prom
inent and respected citizen has sud
denly disappeared from sight and
gone nobody knows where. the last
possibly the sequel of the first.
Then again, after week If anxiety
and fruitless search, solnc friend OF
relative is frequently found dying or
dead in some hospital.
Now comes the proverbial 'Yanlz, y
and with a plan to alleviate all this.
He disappeared with am invention,
IL such it may be called, which he
styles "A Perfect System for Identifi-
cation. And, truly, if it were to be
generally adopted, it could hut empty
the morgue and place the unknown
grave on the page of history only as
thing of the past
Here is what the originator Of the
plan has to say:
Fate and chance are the two un-
controllable factors in every mans
life. Struggle as he may be prudent
rs he can, the unknown events of the
future bear down upon him with re-
sistless force. and in a second he may
be swept away to a violent death or
meet with serious injury.
"In this active age, blistiing with
the dangers of rapid transit, electric
currents, lofty buildings, fast sea
voyages and the thousand and one
complications of civilization, how
necessary to exercise the utmost p1u-
dencel
Invention after invention has
been put out and eagerly sought by
the public for protection until it
would seem that there could be no
improvement, yet the most ilnpor
tant of all has been overlooked, and
that is system for Identification"
The 'Yank" has supplied the miss
ing link.
Here's his plan
The prudence" of which he speaks
consists in one registering with the
bead of the concern which he pro-
poses to establish, or in fact has al
ready established The cost would
be tlifing, probably one dollar for
the first year and fifty cents for each
subsequent year,
In return the subscriber receives a
fireproof and 'indestIuctible" metal
lie badge, which is to be attached to,
if male, the suspendor, and if
female, to the corset. On the out
side of this, in large letters, are the
words, IF dead, injured OF uncon-
scious see the other side"
On the other side is a number, no
two badges containing the same
number There are also instructions
to telegraph this number to the head
quarters of the concern and the state
ment that they will then notify the
unfortunnte's friends, The number
is no sooner received at the Office
than the clerical force will turn to it
on their records, where, opposite to
it, will be found not only the name
of the person on whom the badge
has been found hut u perfect degclip-
ton of the Same and the address of
his or her friends.

Held Without Ball.

Justice Winters held preliminary
examination yesterday, in the case of
Geo. Keeling, colored, who is charged
with the murder Of his wife, the wo-
man whose mutilated remains were
found tied up in sacks, in the bayou.
The evidence was circumstancial, and
in addition to that already published
a shirt bloody on the shoulder, was
found in his house and bloody pill
low case found in the smoke house,
The theory Of the state, is that after
shooting his victim, on Saturday night
he cut off the legs and head, and after
burying the latter, carried the trunk
and limbs to the bayou, u mile dis
tant from his house, in two trips. The
justice held him to answer without
bali. Ills brother, Forrest Keeling,
and Harry Tucker, whose relations
with deceased occasioned the tragedy,
were committed under bonds of 800

Uncle Sans Gold.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 6.-An enor-
nous shipment of gold coin went east
from the sub-treasury yesterday, $780,
100000 being sent to the United States
Treasury at Washington. The utmost
secrecy has been preserved. There
are some good reasons for this. In
the wild country between California
and Mississippi there are train robbers
and it is not often such large amount
goes over the rails on one train. For
two or three weeks postal route agents
have been arriving from the East on
secret missions. 1t is thought they
came to work up case of fraudulent
practices on the railway mail service.
That was mistake. Thirty who
came left to-day on the gold train, and
with them went nine others from San
Francisco. For each man there is
winchester. Three cases of rifles
were loaded with the coin. There are
five postal cars unusually heavy and
strong and big caboose, in which
guards ride. The government has
stored at San Francisco $lO0,O00,000
of its gold reserve, and, it is said, now
$60,000,000 is to be sent to Washing
ton. One more shipment like the
present being necessary.
