MEMS HANDS.
Bhey Are Awkward Appendaacs in 80
ciety-the Bon-Iion Box


1t is sometimes interesting to observe
the awkward use men make of their
hands at formal indoor aSscmblages of
the two sexes, says the New York sun.
To the larger number these members
are "A positive incumbrance, and every
device il reSorted To TO find employment
for them. Even i'm the older social cen.
ters of Europe "a graceful and easy dis
posal Of the hands, by men, is recog-
nized rs exceptional. During the reign
of Louis XIV, Nv. and XVI, when the
elegancies of high life were studied in
the minutest detail, the superiority OF
the hands was "A matter of grave con-
Germ Relief was found, however, ln
the pommel of the sword, the bonbon
or the snNir box. These proved hayens
of refuge, and manual awkwardnesn
was saved from shipwreck. The SNUFF
box endured until the early years of the
present century; but since il has passed
away the society man is left 90 such de-
vices for the use of his honds as inge-
nuity can suggest. The beacon of sal
walton is at last i'm sight through the
vogue, now in progress OF growth in
Paris, for the use of bonbon boxes by
men. These receptaeles are coming
into common use, and n>,ny are of great
cost and beauty of workmanship. They
are made in chased gold and silver, or
enameled, and set with precious stones.
Not only do they contribute a decota
tive note to social functions, but they
offer grateful relief TO those men whose
hands are apparently superfuous on
such occasions. Without doubt this
new fashion will find favor with us, and
within brief period thousands of these
bonbon boxes will be made in Newark
and exhibited in Chicago society as an
cestral heirlooms Of the time of Louis
XIV.

HOW SALMON ARE CANNED.

Ths Rough and Elementary ProcesG
Through which This Table Dainty Goes
Salmon, though usually considered a
delicate and somewhat expensive dain-
ty, are canned by a process which il
both rough and elementary, says Pear
sons Weekly.
At the spot where they are TO be
landed, rude sheds are built close down
by the waters edge. The salmon are
thrown out of the boats by forks, and
passed into the first shed. where a
butcher, armed with long knife, de-
prives them of heads, tails, fins, cuts
them open. and hands them on to thu
washing room.
Thence they pass into the hand OF
another butcher, who divides them up
into suitable lengths. These are stuffed
into the cans. which are then placed on
an inclined plane. their tops being au-
tomatically soldered on as they roll
down.
The cans are arranged on a tray, and
Immersed in boiling water. They are
taken out and tested, they are given "A
lacquer bath and tested again, by the
simple means Of hammering nail
against the tins, and Judging the quail
ity by the sound given out.
Forty-eight cans are packed In a
case, and the salmon, short time ago
alive and fresh, now cooked and canned,
is ready for the market.
An average sized fish will Ali 90 cans,
several thousand going through the
rough canning process a day.
