damned Fingers.

Few people have escaped jammed
fingers, and rs the pain caused when
the finger is jammed in door is ex-
cruoiating IN the extreme for the first
few minutes, it is we'll to know Of some
mems of relief. TIE finger should be
plunged into water as hot as it can
be borne. This application of hot
water causes the nail to expand and
soften, and the blood pouring out
beneath it has more room to flow;
thus the pain is lessoned. The finger
should then be wrapped in bread
and water poultice. A jammed finger
should never be neglected, as it may
lead to modification OF the bone if it
has been badly crushed, and amputa-
lion of the finger must follow. damned
toes are usually caused through the
falling Of heavy weights, and should
be treated in the same way as
jammed finger.

Gold by the Yard.

The beating of the innumerable lit.
tie square pieces of gold which ore
used to cover domes and signs, and so
on, forms distinct industry in the
gold trade which employs large mum
ber Of hands and requires no small
amount Of skill.
The long, low building in which tho
work is carried on is filed throughout
the day with the sound OF hammers.
On every side little boxes containing
tiny rolls Of gold ore to be seen, which,
although only measuring an inch and
a half in length, are each worth about
$50. The gold received in bars one.
eighth of en- inch in thickness, an inch
IN width and weighing 240 penny
weights. This is rolled out into q
ribbon thirty yards in length.
1t is then given to the workmen in
strips measuring seven yards, each Of
which is cut into 1870 pieces. These
are now ready to be beaten out by
hand. They are placed protected by
fine skins in tool known as the
clutch, and are thoroughly pounded
out on great granite block set in the
ground in such way that there IS alb.
solutely no vibratory movements.
The process is repeated several times,
the gold as it spreads being continu.
ally subdirided until it is OF the exact
dimensions required.
The skins in which the gold is beat.
en- are so delicate that they will tear as
easily as paper, nevertheless they are
OF so fine quality that they will with.
stand the continual hammering fo1
several years. The gold, which is fin.
ally beaten down to 200, 000th of an
inch, is rubbed with "brine" before
being placed in the skins, in order
that il shall not adhere to them.
Easy as this work of beating out the
gold may seem, it is in reality an art
of very delicate description. The
workman must know to nicely pre-.
cisely how hard or gentle the blows Of
his hammer must be, and also the
exact spot on which they should fall.
Accordingly. a very superior class Of
men are employed in the business. -

To Build a Town We'll or Ill.

About the year 1870 two suburban
speculations were begun in tho neigh.
borhood Of Chicago. One district was
situated nine miles from the town
the other, six; but both were on the
same railway, and land in each was
worth from one hundzeu to two hun.
dred dollars an acre The managers
OF one district laj;K? out their plan in
what was thegsthe usual way; they
made streets 5f prairie soil with neat
open ditcbss on each side, and they
LETT PROPER spacesfor sidewalks, along
which, trees were planted. They hit
upon good name, issued Autographs
and advertised, with no very profit.
able results.
The managers of the other district
borrowed large sum of money at a
high rate of interest. With this they
undertake the land with several miles
Of drainage pipe, then build macadam.
lied roads with paved gntters, iron
gratings, concrete sidewalks and
broad borders frequently spreading
into little greens and commons
planted picturesquely. All the nat.
ural wood and the banks of the stream
which passed the place were made
public property, and shelters, seats,
bathing md boat houses were pro.
vided upon it. An artesan we'll was
sunk, and with steam pump water
was sent to oil parts of the property.
Before these improvements were near.
ly complete the owners began selling
land upon the roads at twenty dollars
the front foot, aud soon afterwards
advanced the price to thirty dollars,
and then gas was introduced. The
price of land rose, even in the out
skirts, in two years, from eighty to
one thousand dollars an acre.
In the twenty years of their exist
ence it is evident that the first com.
munity has had to expend many times
the amount wisely spent in the begin.

suffice to show, in way that ought to
appear to the most conservative, the
pecuniary importance Of thorough
preparation. -Mary G. Robbins, in

A Monster Musical Instrument.

The most gigantic harp ever con.
structed, as far as the record goes, was
that made by Veritan, the provost of
Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland, in
1857. That was long while ago, but
the fame Of N. Veritan's gigantic harp
was such that it is still occasionally
mentioned by writer's on the rare and
wonderful, just as the sea serpent,
bloody rain, live mastodons, ETC., are.
N. Veritan's colossal musical instru.
ment was 32O feet IN length, and on
that account was constructed IN. On
open lot instead o. in a harp factory.
1t was most simple in construction,
consisting Of fifteen wires strung
tightly between two poles. These
wires were Of different eizes, the
largest being one.sixth OF an inch in
diameter. and the smallest one.twelfth
of an inch. They were stretched
north and south, and inclined in such
a manner as to form an angle of from
twenty to thirty degrees with the
horizon. This queer instrument was
not intended cs an exaggerated toy,
but was constructed for the express
purpose of foretelling changes in the
weather, which were calculated by
Professor Veritan according to the
different tones the instrument made
when the wind was blowing through
