AN ODDITY AMONG NAILS,
whose Use Turned Out to he quite Different
From what Had Been Expected.

Whose Use Turned Out TO Re quite Different
From what Had Been Expected.
A man who had often seen on the side
Of a building that he passes in his rounds
down town a sign reading Cement Coated
Nails" and who had wondered what ce-
ment coated nails could be used for and
made UP his mind that they must be for
use in wharf building or something like
that, under water, where the cement on
them would protect them against rust,
learned upon inquiry that the cemen on
the nails did indeed nave a protective
purpose; but this purpose turned out to
be one quite different from that which he
had imagined.
For the coating on cement coated nails
Is designed not to protect the nails them
selves, but the goods in the boxes in which
the nails may be driven; and this in a man
ner that TO the man Of inquiring mind
seemed quite novel and remarkable.
The cement coated nail Is a wire nail.
In these days there are more wire nails
used thar out nails, because wire nails are
cheaper; they cost about the same by weight,
but there are more wire nails to the pound,
and so wire nails have come into WIDE
spread ommon use for many purposes, n
OF them being found in the mailing together
Of many sorts of boxes.
A wire nail can be drawn more easily
thar a cut nail and 30 with less likelihood
of injury to the box, and this might seem
only another recommendation OF the
wire nail in such use, as II reasonably might
be II one Of the chief considerations were
the preservation Of the box; but the pri-
mary consideration Is, OF oourse, the pro-
lection Of the boX's contents, n here is
where the cement coated nail comes in,
and in the name that seemed novel and
remarkable.
with time and the opportunity the cover
of a light box wire nailed could be lifted
and replaced and the nails redriven with
out showing any marks on the box, and
thus there was the possibility Of the alb
straction Of goods from such boxes in transit,
For instance, a pair Of shoes might be taken
out Of a shoe case, and the cover put back
without showing any signs OF tanpering,I
And with this requirement for 1t along
comes the inventor OF the cement coated
nail, which is simply a wire nail covered
with a very thin coating of material that
makes the nail, once driven, stick 30 tightly
that not only does IL hold more securely
but IL can't be drawn without marring or
breaking the box.

whereby ali the boys Of q certain eet, about
ten Of them, could have spending money

own money only three days q month and
could live on the other nine for the rest
Each OF these boys had about 500 spend

Tit result would be that each boy would

was that they had money all the time and

The solution Of that great problem In
finance made Ting a marked man In Yale.
There are many graduates who have since
longed for the return OF Ting to this country

RISE OF THE GOAT IN GERMANY.
Cost Clubs ant q Model Cost Farm Under
OficiSl Patronage.

There is a movement In Germany to
popularise the goat as q domestic animal,
chiefly on account OF its milk which Ia said
to be good for every one and by far the best
food for bottle fed babies and young chill
dren. The promoters are especially anxious
10 see the goat fourishing in the neighbor-
hood Of manufacturing towns.
In upper Silesia several workmen's
welfare associations have offered prizes for
goat raising and keeping. In addition
several communal administrations in the
same region. encourage goat breeding and
keeping In various ways.
At Tarnowitz the authorities have gone
far ahead. They have started a goat farm
in connection it'll a plant nursery eetab-
ished with public funds and run for the
public benefit. A tract OF fifteen acres
was first leased and later purchased at a
cost Of 81 lbs. Buildings n stock In

that amount. -.
$500 and the Prussian Treasury a equal
AMOUNT. The balance was raised by loan,
the interest being assessed on the property
Of the district until the investment began
TO pay.
The experiment was begun early In 1905.
The result has been a great development
Of interest IN goat culture throughout the
province. Small farmers and landowners OF
all sorts are stocking up and many Of the fac
tory people OWE goats and Craze them by the
roadsides OF on the common lands. The
farm is not yet paying it's way, but II is
expected TO In q year or two.

oHILD SUICIDES IN GERMANY.
Number So Great That Causes Are Being
Studied-Gfies Not to Blame


Suicide among school children has be-
come so frequent in Germany that the
authorities are devoting serious attention
TO the causes of it. In Prussia alone there
were 1852 cases between 1882 and 1905. or
something like three a month. The yearly
number has been even greater in the last
two years. it is said. A general discussion
Of the subject took place lately in Berlin
at a meeting Of the Society Of School Santa
ton.
OF the number given above, st2 cases were
Of children attending the lower grade Of
schools and s42 the higher. but in spite
Of this the tendency to suicide appears
70 increase with age. as the number of chill
dren over is years who kill themselves
was about four times as great as the number
below that age. The boys also were four
times as numerous as the girls.
In a great majority Of cases the suicidal
act was committed at home or near home
and not at school OF after leaving school.
The causes. too. ever when school matters
were connected with them, usually had their
strongest elements in the home.
In more than a third Of the cases fear
Of punishment. dread of examinations or
shame at failure to pass examinations was
the prime cause. But in many OF these
cases, perhaps q majority OF them, IL waR
the attitude OF the parents. actual OF ex~

The lack OF correspondence between the
