A REMINISCEN CE.
How a Prohibited Article OF Diet
Was Admitted to the Table.

How a Prohibited Article OF Diet
Was Admitted to the Table.
An Atlantic Monthly of twenty
years ago gives on experience belong
ing to time when enthusiastic dream
ers made wild experiments of '1iving
near nature" and tried to gain sweet
ness and serenity through earning
their own bread by manual labor.
In one such community, each per-
son did certain amount of house or
farm work, and all confined themselves
rigidly to vegetable food.
One of the number, however, a
somewhat irreverent and skeptical
lad, not approving of the prohibition
of salt, kept small box of it on his
knee during meal times and slyly dip
ped his vegetables therein.
His next neighbor discovered the
secret and quietly shared the conceal
ed treasure until certain day, when
by some luckless chance the box fell
to the floor.
1--WE hoped" he says, "that the in
cident might pass unnoticed, but
Abel, the most rampant of our phil
osophers, stretched his long neck
across the corner Of the table and
caught O. glimpse of what was going
on.
whats that?" he asked.
" Oh, it's only-only chloride of
sodium gasped /, recklessly, giving
the.chemical name of common salt.
Chloride of sodium? What do you
do with it?"
"'Eat it with onions I answered
boldly. It's chemical substance, but
1 believe it's found in some
plants
"Here one member ofthe party, who
knew some thing about chemistry,
grew red with suppressed laughter, but
the others were as ignorant as Abel
himself.
"Let me taste it, said he.
II handed him the box-lid, which
still contained portion of the con-
tents. He dipped an onion in it, bit
off piece, and chewed it gravely.
why said he, turning to me, otis
very much like salt!'
perkins, the boy, burst into a
spluttering yell, and the others, CATCH
ing the joke, hilariously joined him.
"But while we were laughing Abel
finished his onion, and the result was
that salt was added to the True
Food and thereafter appeared regu-
larly on the table"

StoneWaIl Jackson's Religious
Views,

So strict was Stonewall jackson in
his religious Qbservances that he never
Travelled on Sunday, and never posted
a letter or took one from mail on that
day. He believed, indeed, that it was
wrong for the government to carry
mails on the Lords Day. A sketch
of the confederate leader in his wild
owls new memorial of his life shows
him to have been a tall, erect and
muscular man, with large blue-gray
eyes, a Roman nose and ruddy sun,
burnt cheeks. In refuting the charge
that her husband was an awkward
horseman, Mrs. Jackson says that it
is sufficient to record the fact that he
was never thrown from his mount,
while his judgement of horses was ex-
cellent. In battle he rode with I'M
covered head along his column, &C,
knowledging the shouts of his devot-
ed men.

ANDREA FERARA SWORDS.
Very Few Of the Genuine Articles
Are Now In Existence,

Very Few of the Genuine Articles
Are Now In Existence,
Ii one were to Judge by the number
OF these blades still extant in limit
ed area, the great Venetian sword
smith must have done avery large ex-
port business. This thought occurred
to me during the Glasgow exhibition
in 1888, where there were at least 40
swords exhibited, all marked with the
name OF "Andrea Ferara." The odd
thing about them was that by far the
greater number had belonged to
moorland covenanters of Ayr or
Lanarkshire and had figured at
the "battle" OF Drumclog or Both
vel Bridge Now, u fine sword-blade
was not thing to be knocked of like
the assay piece of Zimmerman, but
was q work OF high art and slow
manufacture, tempering the steel be-
ing very delicate process.
The price OF such an article must
also have been high and far beyond
the means of d moorland peasant, as
UlGSl vi lllC Wv NCAS SeSiNA ~ AAtbN
been. That such hiCh-class weapons
got into these out of-the-way places
was difficult to believe. Only the
other day l came on an explanation
OF the problem in a paper, read before
the Royal Archaeological Institute on
Feb. 5. by the Baron de Cossan, F.
S. A. This gentleman has fine col
lection OF ancient armor and weap-
ons, and probably knows more about
those things than any other person in
this country. Here are his remarks on
Ferura blades:
''It is also certain that, common as
blades bearing the signature Andrea
Ferara are in this country, scarcely
any of them are the work of Maestro
Andrea de Ferara, who gained such
renown for the superb temper OF the
blades which he produced in his work
shop at BeHuni, in Venetia, in the sec
ond half of the 10th century, where he
worked with his brother, Giomo Do
nato de Ferara, some OF whose
blades signed Zandona, still exist.
Nearly all the blades commonly attrib-
uted to Andrea Ferara, are mani
testify OF 18th century make, and >Bo-
helm states that Andrea vas porn In
1880, and died about 1888.
1T is possible that few OF the
finest blades existing in Scotland and
England bearing the name of Andrea
Ferara may be his work; but as yet l
know very few which can possibly
attribute to the master or even to the
epoch when he lived, and it is curious
that the Italian collections possess
very few even bearing his name.
What is certain is that for nearly so
years after his death Solingen turned
out hundreds OF blades bearing his
namo for expectation to those coun-
tries where true Ferara was he'd in
high repute. just rs it supplied false
Toledo blades to those where rapier
was preferred to a broadsword." -

A GOOD BARGAIN.
A Novel Scheme to Give Five
Stamps for Nine Cents

A Novel Scheme to Give Five
Stamps for Nine Cents.
A neat advertising scheme, emanat-
ing from New York, has just made it's
appearance in this city, and is "catch-
ing on" rapidly. The projectors of
the scheme at first glance might be
taken for full-blown lunatics, but
there is great deal of method in their
madness when fully examined.
Heaped up in the windows ofseveral
of the large stores in the central por.
ton of the city are several hundred
memorandum books of convenient
size and handsome appearance. Each
contains about sixty pages and is
bound in well gotten.up, pliable
muslin cover. In the middle of the
little book is calender and an
amount of useful information Or
postal matter, and ve2-cent stamps.
The entire book. including the
stamps, is sold for 8 cents, q 10
percent reduction from Uncle Sans
rate for the "adhesibles" alone. The
little memorandum book itself-well-
made bound as it is-would cost at
least from 3 to cents to nanufac-
ture, and to sell it with five 2-cent
stamps sewn within the covers for 8
cents shows enterprise in giving bar
gains.
Examine the little book, however,
and the mystery is solved. Every
alternate page contains an advertise
ment from some prominent business
house in divers lines, and at the head
of the remaining pages is a half-inch
advertisement of New York paper,
which journal, it is stated, is respon-
sible for this novel method Of reach
ing that large section of the "dear
public" who are always eager for a
big 'pen'north."
At a moderate computation the ad-
vertisements in the little work will
more than cover the total outlay, in
Guiding the loss on the stamps and
the commission paid for distribut
ing.

wheat supply furnished by the
maturing crop is far smaller than
that Of 1891 in the United States,

will be about the same.

United States will be about $780,
600, 200 bushels. In 1891 it was
about G12, 100000 bushels, show
ing decrease this year of 1872, 600, =

The country will eat about S,000,-
600 bushels more this year, thus
making the exportable supply 49,
000,00 bushels less than, that Of

In Great Britain the product will
