HORSESHOE NAILS.
The Way They Are Turned Out by
Expert WOrlkmen.

Expert WOrlkmen.
Three million separate shoe nails are
often cast from a ton of metal. OF the
smaller sizes 1000 nails are nodded in
a single mold, and an expert workman
will make eighty molds in an ordinary
working day, thus turning out 100000
separate nails.
When the metal in liquid state is
poured into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided in the
moIding process. The whole of the
nails are cast together and are, when
removed from the sand, connected by
n network of iron one with another.
In this condition the iron is as brittle
as glass, and very little force is re-
ouired to separate the nails from the
network which holds them together
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing. They ara
mixed up with hematite iron ore, which
IS In a powdered state, put into iron
pots and placed in an annealinG fur
mace. a sort of kiln. Here they remain
for some days, care being taken to SO
regulate the heat to which they are
subjected that the iron will not be re-
melted, but brought very nearly to that
condition. The action of the raw iron
ore upon the brittle casting is marvel
Gus. After cooling it can be bent with
out risk of breaking, and it becomes a
useful and serviceable article.

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Standing For a Seat In Parliament
Is Expensive.

Although there are strict laws
against bribery in the English cleo
tiOns, standing for a seat In par1ia-
ment is by no means an inexpensive
matter. Even a small constituency
will cost not less than $4,000, and the
expenses run from that up to $4,000.
At one election a candidate paid out
on an average of $50 for each vote.
but this is regarded as the record
price, the cost running as low as 81
a head.
The purchasing of vote disqualif1es
the candidate, even though he may be
innocent Of any participation in the
bribery, and as a result candidates
and their agents" they call
them in England-are most careful
that their Factions shall be above sus-
picion.

Deputy U. S. marshal Wesley Bryant,
of Creston, took Francis Stuteville and
Ernest Ellston, two young farmer boys
who reside between Davis City and
Pleasanton, to Creston Friday after
noon, where they were held by U. S.
CommissionerlHanna to appear before
the next federal grand jury under
bonds of $3.50 each to answer to the
charge of destroying United States mail
boxes on one of the rural routes by
shooting holes in them. The offense
was committed on April 2Sth. The lads
who are about fifteen years old filled up
on forty-rod whiskey and tore down
some of the mail boxes on their way
home, threw them into the river and
shot others full of holes. The post
office inspector was put on the case and
inspector Caine, of Des Moines, filed
the information against the boys. The
boys made clean breast of the affair
admitting they were the ones who did
the work. Young Stuteville is the son
of ]. M. Stuteville, and young Ellston
makes his home with his grandfather,
Tyre Henderson, both being among our

plead guilty when their case comes up
for trial and escape with fine. 1t is

boys the liquor which got them into
trouble will be prosecuted also.
