 SOCIETY.
MRS. !. M. ds CoTTEs.

Miss Surtees, the bankers beautiful. if wayward, daughter, his purse was so slender that he had reached the bottom of 1t on the third day of his honeymoon. and was in the predicament of having no home to so to. and of not knowing whether our friends would ever speak to us again."
 Shelley had a similar experience, when as a boy of 19, he eloped with his sister . school friend. Miss Westbrook. Before the couple got as far as York, on their way to Edinburgh they found themselves parting with their last shilling. and the to send him 10 pounds to relieve "a slight pecuniary distress"
 There was surely never q bride and bridegroom more impecunious than Flax man and his brave young wife. Even his best friends declared that he was ruin ed man from the moment he stood before the altar. and tt Is true that for some time starvation was never far from his door. But Mrs. Flaxman determined that if her husband was to oe ruined it should not be through her, and she practiced her economies so skillfuily that within i've years she had saved sufficient money to enable him to stduy the works of his great predecessors in Rome.
 
 WHAT BECOMES or TIN CANS.
 The housekeeper often wonders what becomes of pins, as 1t seems that by now the face of the earth would be knee deep in them. How about the tin cans in large cities when thousands and thou sands are opened every day7 In New York they are picked from the trash heaps and sold to the large manufacto- ries. There they are made into weights for elevators and window sashes.
 An exchange says: Tin cans are put to other purposes besides quick lunches for goats and persaaders for the luck less small dog When the cans are de- lived at the foundry they are piled up under a hood" of iron. which tapers into chimney. They are then sprinkied with oil, and set ahre. The heat con- sumes the labels, ioosens the dirt. and collected, washed. melted again. and cast into ingots which are sold.
 Some cans have lapped joints and melt apart completely. These are sorted out and the shets of tin are strengthened and bound into bundles. They are soid-- wonderful to sey--to the trunkmakers. who re-enforce the corners Of Saratogas with them. So that the can from which Mrs. wiggs ate her tomatoes reappears in social circles as the guardian of Mrs. Chatfield chatheld-Tayior's trunk, at Naples or the German spas.
 Buttonmakers buy the strips of tin and use them for the discs out of which cloth covered buttons are made. Thus, Gotrox may wear upon his silk-lined Prince Albert the very tin which Dusty Rhodes cast aside as he passed the ash heap.
 The other machine-made cans are load- ed into carts and taken to the 'cupoia." which Is q big furnace. fed with cans and coke by turns. When the tin is heated to liquid form and the siag slSimmed ofg the metal Is poured off into moids In the form of weights. These weights are round and smooth, and, when broken off, show crystals radIating like the spokes of wheel.
 VALUE OF THE PINEAPPLE..
 There is said to be no other fruit so commonly known and used which posses ses the peculiar digestive property as that found in tine pineapple.
 This substance is very similar to a peptonizing ferment called caricin or papain. q digestive agent for all kinds of food.
 The pineapple contains a very large amount of tough fiber. In some varie- ties the presence of this is not very per- ceptible, and is easily broken up in the well-ripened fruit, while in other kinds 1t is exceedingly hard to digest, and thefe- fore rather questionable as . proper food to be eaten whole by those who cannot indulge in all kinds of diet with im- punlty.
 This is a point of objection which does not oblige one to deny themselves the pleasure the delicious flavor that the ripe pine gives, especially when one finds that the digestive property 1t possesses helps | to digest other foods, for the juices may be used and these hold all the other fruit
 acids. as well as the agent already men, toned as being very beneficial when there are defective seeretions of the digestive | juices.
