SHOE NAILS.
The Way They Are Made and Why
They Are So Cheap.

The Way They Are Made and why
They Are So Cheap.
Three million separate shoe nails are
often cast from one ton Of metal. or
the smaller sizes 1000 nails are mold
ed in 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 q liquid state is
poured into the mold 1t runs through
the sand in passages provided In the
molding process; the whole OF the nails
are cast together and are, when re-
moved from the sand, connected by
network Of iron one with another. In
this condition the iron is as brittle as
glass, and very little force is required
to separate the nails from the network
which holds them together.
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annesling. They are
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
marvellous. After cooling. it can be
bent without risk Of breaking. and it
becomes useful and seryiceable arti-
cle.-London Express.

1t is only in comparatively modern
times that buttons have been utilized
as fasteners. The Greeks and Romans
knew nothing of them. and though they
presented themselves as ornaments in
the fourteenth century buttonholes
were still an undreamed OF possibility.
It was not until nearly the middle Of
the eighteenth century that the manu-
facture Of steel buttons was entered
upon at the Soho works in Birming-
ham, England. Then. on the accession
Of George III. the gilt buttons appear
ed and became quite the vogue. But it
was reserved for the artisans of our
day to make these useful fasteners in
the greatest variety at marvelously low
prices and out Of all sorts Of material.

AN EMPEROR'S TASTE.
1t Was the Origin Of . Common Say
ing In Austria,

Ing In Austria.
An anecdote which was current of
Ferdinand l. of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to common saying. One sum-
mer day he was hunting in the Syrian
mountains and was overtaken by a
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref
uge in farmhouse whose occupants
were just then at dinner, and his fam
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made Of coarse -four. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when he got to Vienna. to the hor
ror of the royal cooks. he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandalized that
such a coarse dish should figure on
the menu, and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use Of such
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant of men. but he now show
ed that he had 4 will OF his own and
persisted in gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that
it was dangerous 10 his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de
clared that he would never sign auoth-
er official document il his diet were
denied him.

SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The Famous Method known as the
Boustrophe

About the year $50 s. c. the Ionians
first introduced the system of writing
from left to right. Previous TO that
time all scribes and penmen in general
had been in the habit Of beginning the
line on the right hand side of the page
and running ii toward the left The
introduction of the left TO right mode
OF writing caused considerable confu-
sion for a time. and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol-
lowing century sprang the famed meth
cd known as the boustrOphedOn. Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin a line at the left margin
of their parchments and run il through
to the opposite margin and then drop
a space below and run back TO the OBJ
posite edge Of the sheet again. In 9th
er words. the boustrophedon mode OF
writing was a system in which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right TO left. This system did not
entirely disappear until about the time
OF Christ. The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages We're written from
right to left, but at about the time the
Ionians We're reforming writing meth
DDS the Greek letters were changed in
form from the uncial to the cursive.
and the system Of writing was changed
in both cases so as TO run from left 10
right The following quotation from
Franklin illustrates the mixed. or hous-
trophedon. system OF writing:

The Calm Spirit.

The people in all lines of duty who
do the most work are the calmest.
most unhurried people in the com
munity Duties never wildly chase
each other in their lives. One task new

hurried. and therefore imperfect, do
ing. The calm spirit works methodical-
~. doing one thing at time and doing
it we'll. and it therefore works swiftly,
though never appearing to be in haste.

Black Snakes.

I have never seen black snakes over
seven feet long and much doubt If
they grow to a greater length. They
are not hard to catch. though in an
open field they can run about as fast
as a man can. When caught, they
struggle desperately until they find
there is no opportunity to escape. when
they will give up fighting and may be
handled with impunity. have never
found these snakes to be vicious. They
can be handled easily. and their bite is
harmless. They can squeeze pretty
hard If they get a turn around your
waist. but not hard enough to break a
bone.-Forest and Stream.

The Story Of q Caxton.

In the Wesleyan Church Record
is a paper by Mr.. William Andrews
of the Hull Royal institution on
"Curiosities of Book Collecting" in
which he tells the story Of the un-
earthing of a Caxton at Thorneck
hall, Lincolnshire. The butler was
entrusted with the work of wedding
out the superhuous books. A per
feet copy of Dame Juliana Berner's
"Boke of St. Albans" (14S6) was
thrown carefessly aside and little
later sold to a peddler for nine
pence. He thought he was q lucky
man when he disposed Of it to a
chemist in Gainsborough for 8 shil-
lings. 1t was soon cold to a book
seller for e., who transferred it to
another in the same trade for 81.
1t was subsequently sold to Sir
Thomas Grenville for ESQ. At the
time of this transaction Dibdin val
ued this book at 9420, and in 1882

An Elephant's Teeth.

Whoever has looked inside an
elephants mouth has seen strange
sight. Elephants have no front
teeth, and they never eat flesh or
any food that requires tearing
apart. Eight teeth are all they
have, two above and below on each
side, huge yellow molars as wide as
a mans hand and about two inches
thick. Over these hay or fodder is
shifted by the queerest, ugliest
tongue in the whole animal king
dom, a tongue that is literally hung
at both ends, having no power or
movement except in the middle,
where it shifts back and forth from
side to side, arching up against the
roof of the big mouth like an i'm
mense wrinkled pink serpent.

BONAPARTE AT JAFFA.
His Orders Regarding the Poisoning Of
Stricken Soldiers.

Professor Forgue of Montpelier
in a lecture on the respect that
practitioners should have for hu-
man life told the story Of Desge-
nettes, which, though we'll known,
is worth telling again, as it is told
by Desgenettes himself.
When the French were about to
evacuate Jatfa the question arose
what was to be done with the
plague stricken soldiers in the hos
pital. Desgenettes says: Shortly
before the raising of the siege-that
is to say, on the 27th-General
Bonaparte sent for me very early
in the morning to come to his tent,
where he was alone with his chief
of the staff. After short preamble
as to our sanitary condition he said
to me, If l were You l should end
at once the sufferings of those
stricken with plague and should end
the dangers which they threaten US
by giving them opium
81 answered simply, MY duty is
to preserve life Then the general
Developed his idea with the greatest
GOODNESS, saving that he was advis-
ing for Others what in like circum-
stances he would ask for himself.
"He pointed out to me that he
was, before any one else, charged
with the conservation of the army,
and consequently it was his duty to
prevent our abandoned sick from
falling alive under the scimiters Of
the Turks. 4 do not SEEK he went
on, TO overcome your repugnance,
but l believe l shall find some who
will better appreciate my inten-
TONS Desgenettes goes on to
say that opium was, as matter of
fact, given to some thirty patients.
1t happened, however, that GER
tain number rejected it by vomit-
ing, were relieved, got well and told
what had happened. The stor.r has
been told in various ways, and ths
fact of the poisoning of the sick
soldiers has been accepted by the
enemies of Napoleon and denied by
the defenders of his memory. Des-
genettes' narrative bears the stamp
of truth.-British Medical Journal.
