Gimlets Cost Little.

There are about twenty-five different
patterns of gimlets, made by dozen
manufactures. none of which make
them exclusively, the industry being
generally associated with that of auger
bits. They are sold by the gross, and
are manufactured with extraordinary
cheapness. When "a metal handle ia
used it is cast solid about the shank,
and no rivets are used. This makes a
smooth surface for the hand and pre-
vents the handle from coming loose
The nail gimlet, the cheapest Of all. is
made by the bushel, and is often packed
in cases containing twelve gross. When
the price of some of them is known to
be four dollars and a half per gross it
can readily be seen how cheaply they
can now be manufactured. A cast
steel gimlet fitted with handle, cost
ing less than one cent at first hands, is
marvel The skill of the gimlet
maker Is probably found in the bell
hangers, which are sometimes thirty
six inches long and as small as three
sixteenth OF an inch in diameter IL is
made of extra cast steel. The thirty
six gimlet sells for about fifteen dollars
per dozen. Hardware

Few of the BIg Brute. Left.

Another mammal will soon be added
to the list of creatures that have disap-
peared from the earth. The white
rhinoceros, the mighticst quadruped
save the elephant now in existence.
which eighty years ago roamed il
great numbers on the plains OF South
Bechanaland, has become SO nearly ex-
tinct through the rapacity Of hunters
that it is believed that in all Africa not
more than five or six specimens now re-
main between the Orange and Fam
best rivers. This species OF rhinoccros,
which is not white" at all, but only Il
few shades lighter than the ordinary
rhinoceros frequently grew to enor-
nous bulk, standing sometimes more
than six feet at the shouldcr, with a
length from snout to tail OF sixteen

How He Inaugurated n Reform In the
''Grog SWtem."
Bronson Howard, the playwright, has
been telling some good stories of early
days Among these was one pertaining
to the memory of his father Charles
Howard the founder of Howard City,
Mich, and for many years q well-known
citizen of Detroit Those who re-
membered Me-. Howard as retired
capitalist will md it hard to associate
him with the active command of lake
schooner, yet he filed such position
half "A century ago and it was during
his service as skipper of the craft that
the incident occurred. 1t was in the
old days when men could not do a
stroke of work aboard a vessel without
their regular rations of grog. Denied
liquor, a crew mutinied until their
thirst was appeased. Skipper Howard
was not behind the times and as was
customary the grog was kept in q
keg, which was provided with q
faucet, and each man helped him.
self, code of appetite being
supposed to exist which limited
the drink TO n share each. There
were times when the exceptions to this
rule were NO numerous that there were
no men TO perform the duties of the
day, which entirely devolved upon the
captain, who grew very tired of such
conduct One day skipper Howard
called the crew forward 10 receive their
grog nj his hands The men crowded
about him and he looked them over
with keen eyes. They were all stronger
and stoutcr men than he, men who had
always known the scamy side of life.
A sudden resolve came TO him TO help
these men help themselves
"Stand back" he said, and they
obeyed under the only discipline they
ever acknowledged.
Then he turned the faucet and let
every drop of the liquor run out on the
vessels deck.
~ want men on my boat" he said,
lookin g them in the face, land not an
other drink of grog goes aboard"
Capt Howard builded better than he
knew. His men stayed with him and
gave him good service. And when he
went to pay his insurance money on
the boat and the cargo the underwrit-
ers gave him low rates of insurance.
Other lake captains hearing of this, dis
pensed with their grog rations, and
gradually the practice was abandoned
entirely as unworthy of good seaman.
