How the Jlnglet Gets There,

"rhe making Of sleigh-bells is quite
an art, says an iron-founder. 1.-THE
little iron ball is too big to be put in
through the holes in the bell, and vet
is inside. How did it get there? The
little iron ball is called the 1iinglet.'
When you shake the sleigh-bell it
jinges. In making the bell the iinglet
us put inside a little bnll OF mud lust
the shape Of the inside OF the bell.
Then a mould is made just the shape
OF the outside, and the METALS poured
IN which fills up the space between the
ball and the mould. When hennould
is taken off you see a sleigh-bell, but
1T will not ring as it is full Of dirt. Tho
hot metal that the bell is made Of
dries the dirt SO 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. It took a great many years to
think out how to make a sleighbell.''

TapeWormS In Cleo.

Col. G. M. Littler, Secretary of the
National Butter, Cheese and EGG AS
ISOLATION, says that: "Anybody who
says that butterine is healthful and
wholesome, either does not know what
he is talking about or ELSE lies. Why
are there SO many tapeworms and so
many cases Of Bright's disease since
butterine came into use? The embryo
tapeworm exists very freely in leaf
lard. This lard must becooked ifyou
want to destroy the ani1nalcula. It
is not cooked, it is only warmed in

matter how carefully it may be pre-
pared, butterine contains acids that
are not to be found in butter. There
IS q very easy way of proving this.

have corrosive sublimate. The Lord
only knows how many people have
been mysteriously poisoned by taking

The Old Hack r en1e INBRED HIS
Enemies as Well as His Friends.
Mr.. James Parish, OF Winchester.
street, sends me the following story as
told him by a London cabm1n: Many
years ago a friend Of mine, driver,
got the aWfulest hiding, through his
horse having a good memory. It
came about in this way:
One night a fare hailed him on Pic
cadilly, and he drew up to the curb,
and he took him up, but when the
old gent got in the blessed brute
couldn' t stir a peg, but stood like a
frozen horse, its only movement be-
ing trembling of the knees. This
naturally made I've his name
savage, and finding the thong
was no good, he lost his temper and
took the butt end Of his whip to it..
The gentleman he banged out of the
cab when he said: "You inhuman
scoundrel, what do you mean by
hogging poor beast that way?' says
he and no sooner did the old crock in
the shafts hear him than it turned it's
head and began to neigh and whinny
just like talking. 1t knowed it's old
master again, though it did not have
any eyes to see him, and the old ma
lor looked at the horse, and they
knowed one another.
81 forget how old he was-the major
| mean-but he had I've off the box
before you could say knife, and went
at him with his bamboo stick till he
roared out murder and brought his
crowd around 'em. I've was going to
play old Harry with the Major, but
his friends advised him different, so
he squared the matter by getting a
friend to take three teeth what the
major knocked out to his house, say
ing in a polite note that he wanted a
couple of pounds apiece for them,
and if the major would buy 'em the
old horse should be thrown into the
bargain. That's how they settled it."

His Staff,

At the beginning of the Civil War a
great many people were quite ignorant
OF the pomp and splendor of military
titles. Their ignorance led to many
amusing Incidents, one of which is
told in connection with General Har-
dee.
It was at the time that Albert Sidney
Johnston was in command at Bowling
Green Kentucky, and General Hardee
was ordered with his command to
that place from Columbus, Ken.
lucky. At that time the bridge
over the Tennessee River at
Danyille, Tennessee, had not been
completed, and the general and his
command had to be ferried over the
river to cars on the opposite side.
When General Hardee had crossed
the river, -supposing, ofcourse, that
q special car had been provided for
himself and his military staff, he ac-
costed a brakeman belonging to
the train with the question:
'tWhere shall and my staff go?''
The brakeman having no idea who
the general was, or OF what his staff con-
sisted, after surveying him and his
sword thoroughly and somewhat con-
temptuously, replied:
You can so into that car there,
and you can stick your old staff out
of the Window"

THERE'S NO MORAL,
This Man Was Dishonest and Was
Handsomely Rewarded.

This Man Was Dishonest and Was
Handsomely Rewarded.
Talk about romance in real life,
says the San Francisco News Letter,
here's a case. A couple of years ago
the ticket agent in Los Angeles for the
Santa E'e road was found to be short
in his accounts to the tune of about
So, 600. He was tried and convicted
and sentenced to two years in San
Queniah. -....
Soon after he went to the peniten-
tiary his wife obtained divorce from
him, so when he got out on credits
about five months ago he was abso-
lutely untrammeled. He purchased a
ticket to Chicago, intending to com
mence life again in some other cham
mel; but he little thought what was in
store for him.
En- route to the Lake City he be-
came acquainted with a wealthy
widow; at Chicago the friendship was
kept up, and now hehas married her
and shares a snug fortune of $780,
600 OF so.
Had he remained honest while in
the Santa FEES employ, he would now
be inreceipt of about $l25 a month;
as things are, he enjoys about six
times that amount. Where, oh where,
does the moral about the reward of
virtue come in?

Growth Of Hair After Death.

The growth of the hair and beard
after death have been too often PROV
en- to be doubted, but the most re-
markable case on record is probably
that Of q man named Haskell, vino in
the year 1868, died in Mortified,
MINI. During his life he had worn
only 8 heavy black mustache, but a
few years ago, when his friends remoy-
ed his body TO another cemetery, the
coffin broke open and the face and
head were found to be covered with a
growth Of bushy black hair over two.
feet inlengtIa. Such cases as this seem
to encourage the idea that the hair
has silfe OF its oWh apart from tlse

The Process.

It is said by a very clever man. that
children are often so bound about by
the necessity OF doing problems in a
certain way, or coming to conclusions
by prescribed routes, that they are
only perplexed and wearied instead of
being entertained and instructed.
Colonel Higginson tells this story:
A lady Of wide educational expert
ence said that she once found a small
schoolboy in great distress over. his
lesson. When she asked what had
been his particular trouble, that day,
hesstated this arduous problem

BURROWlNG CRAwFISH.
A Frequent Cause of Breaks in the
Big M ississippi Levees.

A Frequent Cause of Breaks in the
Big M tssissippi Levees.
Whenever | hear OF a break in the
levee down in my district. says a
correspondent of a St. Louis paper, I
know that nine chances to one craw-
fish have caused it. The assertion
may sound slightly exaggerated, but
it is a fact, nevertheless, that the
levilish little crawfish work more
danger to the levees than does the
water. On a big rise, when the bed Of
the river is stretched from embank-
ment to embankment, the crawfsh
burrow into the levees and live there
in the moist earth. They multiply
faster than maggots, and loosen up
the earth worse than moles
The levee may becompletely sodded
with grass, and you see no external
evidence OF the damag going on with.
in, but when the next big rise comes
you will see it. [ have frequently
known the water to break through the
levee two OF three feet from the top,
and you can attribute to it nothing
but the destructive work of crawfsh.
This was particularly true OF the
break at Offut' s in 1889, when a por-
ton Of the town CT Greenville was
submerged. The builder Of the levee
in the future will have to take into
account the craWfish as one OF his
most stubborn foes.

A MASTERLY RETREAT.
Antique Way in Which a French
Battalion Escaped.

Battalion Escaped.
1t became apparent that a batta-
lion placed the evening before on an
isolated hill could not come down by
any practicable way without making
a long circuitous march and exposed
to the fire Of the enemy. Massena,
working up the ascent on his knees
and hand, makes for, this battalion.
reaches it, harangues the men, and
assures them that, if they will initiate
him, they will get out OF the scrape.
He makes them sheathe their bayon-
cts, sit. down On the snow at the edge
OF the slope, and, pushing himself for
ward with his hands, slides down to
the bottom. All our soldiers laughing
in fits, do the same; and in the twink
ling Of an eye the whole battalion was
formed and far beyond the reach of
dumbfounded Austrians!
This way OF getting down a hill,
which is very like what peasants and
guides in Switzerland call la ramasse,
had certainly never been attempted
before by soldiers. Extraordinary as
it may appear, it is true; it was certi-
fed to by Gems. Roguet pere, Soules,
Albert, and other officers in Massena's
division at the time; and nine years
afterward, being at La Houssays,
when Marshal Augereau received the
Emperor and other marshals, heard

PECULIAR BUSINESS
"a Successful Pawnbroker Requires
to Be Wide-aWake.

TO- Be "J0e-aWake3.
To be a successful pawnbroker one
must havea Thorough knowledge Of
the value OF jewelry, a general knowl-
edge of the business and, more inn
portant still, must be a perfect stu
dent of human nature" said a New
York pawnbroker to a Herald man.
Without the thorough knowledge Of
the value of iewelry he will never be
able to estimate in advance the profit
onea loan he is asked to make, and
without the knowledge of human ma
tare he is absolutely worthless in the
business.
For instance, say a man comes in
here with a, valuable watch to pawn.
He wants $50 or it.. Now, if / am a
student OF human nature, I can tell in
a moment whether that man intends
to redeem the watch or whether he
intends to let it remain here until. the
ticket expires and [ have the legal
right to sell it. II his face tells me
that he will not redeem the watch
let him have only $75 on it, for then
my profits on it's sale will be larger;
but on the other hand, if can tell by
his face that heintends to redeem the
watch, why willingly let him have
500, for my interest on the loan will
amount to more and my profits on
the transaction will be larger. All
these points will be considered by a
good pawnbroker who understands
his business"

The complaints were made by the Rock

ker in this city return portions Of a

important criminal case ever tried in

the acquittal Of the defendant In July
last DR.. Scott Helm, surgeon general of
the territory of Arizona, was arrested
on complaint of one DR.. Hughes for abor-
ton. The death of the woman resulted.
Helm was held for murder and released
on bail, and in the trial Judge Godding
instructed the jury to bring i'll verdict
of not guilty, which was done. Owing
to the prominent social and official posi-
ton of the defen dant the greatest inter
est was taken in the trial. Suits for ma
icious prosecution, libel and false i'm
prisonment against Hughes and Others
will now be instituted by Helm.

wounding Eleanor Richardson also col
ored. The case resembles that of Alice
Mitchell of Memphis. Eleanor is a
bright mulatto II years old and Emma
Williams a comely black of 90. The two
have been living together more than a
year, Emma displaying the most ardent
affection for her companion. She de-
clared no mans love should separate

would fix her. Eleanor went to ball

and, calling her from the room, stabbed
her repeatedly with large knife, in
hicting fatal wounds
