QUEER THINGS ABOUT SAWS
One Way, Those of the
West the Other.

/ In the window of a hardware store
crescent-shaped blade a foot or more
in length and toothed on the concave
side. 1t was somewhat like a sickle
with saw teeth in place of cutting
edge, says the New York Sun
THAT" said the dealer THAT is
what is called a California pruning
saw, and it is sold almost wholly, il
not altogether, on the Pacific coast
The pruning saw commonly used in
this country is straight saw
1T is in reality a Japanese pruning
saw made in this country. 1t was in.
troduced into California by japanese
gardeners
This saw, besides its odd shape, has
another popularity that perhaps you
have not noticed. 1t cuts drawing
toward you instead of pushing from
you; and that is a characteristic of
all the saws of Japan and China
Our saws, like those of Europe, are
all made to cut as you push the saw
from you, with the downward motion
The saws of Japan and China are al.
made to cut as you pull the saw back
toward you, with the upward motion;
exactly the reverse of ours
Which sort of saw can a man dc
the most work with? Well, should
say that might depend. more or less
on the man, but it is certain that
the Japanese, with his up stroke saw,
can saw as close and true to a line
as the man of any western country can
saw with his down stroke saw
How long has this difference be-
tween the saws of the eastern coun-
tries and those of the western existed:
Well, as to that I could hardly say,
but saws taken from the ruins of Pom
peii and now preserved in the museum
there, cut with the downward stroke
just like the saws in universal use in
Europe and America to-day; while liz
Japan and China they still use theil
old-time saws, which cut with the uu-
ward stroke
Are there any American saws solo
in Japan and China? Yes, some, these
being made, of course, to cut Iiks
those OF their own make, with the up
ward stroke. but more of the for.
eign saws now imported into thoss
countries come from Germany, the
Germans making a cheaper saw than
we do.
But while the Germans are selling
saws in China and Japan we are sell,
ing American saws in Germany in di.
rect competition with saws of German
make. Ours cost more than theirs.
but they are better and do better worE
and are IN every way more satisfac
tory. American saws are, in fact
now sold all over Europe and in Other
foreign countries as well, because. like
American edged tools and American
machine tools and American machin.
cry generally, they are the best in the
world"

Dog Proves His eentleness.

From Prague is reported an anus
ing trial in which a dog played the
leading part. The owner of the dog
was sued by an engineer, who claimed
damages for a bite from the animal
He also denounced the dog as vicious.
At the trial veterinary surgeon who
was called in tried the utmost to irri-
tate the dog by teasing him. but the
animal kept his temper The COM
plainant then demanded that in order
to test the dogs real disposition his
owner should be turned out of court
and the dog let loose among the au-
dience. This was done after the dog
had been muzzled. The dog, however,
continued to display the greatest good
humor, holding up one paw after an
other. and wagging his tail. Finally
he ran to the judge. before whom he
sat on his hind legs begging in most
pathetic manner The Judge thereupon
pronounced the dog to be veritable
lamb, and gave Judgment for his
swner.

THE PROUD BUN.

The baker-man was kneading buns
His trough was deep and wide
When, much to his surprise, he heard
A small voice by his side.
"Oh, make me large and fat, 1t said.
"And stuff me full Of pMms.
So that may attract applause
From every one who comes
"Oh, put piece of citron in
And make me rich and rare.
That l may serve for dukes and earls
Who sUmptuously DO fare.
The baker chuckled in his sleeve
To hear him talk so big,
But thought: III put III everything.
And let him run his rig!'
He put in all he had on hand,
And made him rich and rare,
And set him in the window-pane,
To make the natives stare.
For, swelled to twice his natural size
With yeast and piums and pride,
He scorned the doughnuts, pies and cakes.
And ebbowed them aside.
I'm waiting for the duke he said.
with whom / am to Gine!''
Just then two newSboys came along
Whose appetites were fine.
'My eye!" they cried, come over here
And see this jolly bun;
Let's buy him for our supper, quick"
And so the thing was done.
Two morals to this little song
Are had at easy rates;
ST is i'll TO wait for dukes and earls
In these United States.
And when the baker kneads his dough-
3 If then you are begun,
No matter what he may put in
You'll always be a bun!

KISSES OF VARIOUS KINDS.
Philosophical French Writer Analyses
the Differences in Os-
culation.

To steal kiss is natural; to buy a kiss
is stupidity; two girls who kiss is
loss of time; not to kiss at all is an in
significance, says writer in the Paris LIE
Meschacebe. Two men who kiss is quite
ridiculous; to kiss the hand or the tips
of the fingers is droll; to kiss ones wife
is an obligation; kissing child is often
a regret for not being permitted to kiss
the mother; to kiss an ugly person is
gallantry; to kiss an old, faded widow
shows great devotedness, but to kiss a
young, blushing widow is q charm; to
kiss ones waiting maid is very danger
Gus; to kiss ones afilanced Is premedi-
tation and q right; an old, rich aunt, it
is hypocrisy; young cook in the bloom
of age is delicious, dainty; to kiss
neighbours wife Is doubtless very good,
but quite wrong; kissing three girls the
same day is an extravaganza; q girl
whose father is watching her. 1t may
make one jump over the fence: to kiss
a mother-in-law is q sacrifice; an old
maid. it is politeness; finally, kiss to
ons's mother is the purest. the sweetest
OF al kisses

One day the Fairy Queen, who wa
