Hear Mrs Dainty on Monday evening.
-While in Ohio last week, C. W. Duddleston paid a visit to the Soldiers' Home, near Dayton. He says there is "3,000 inmates there now, and 15 barrels of flour are consumed each day 38 sheep at one meal 80 bush, potatoes each day ,520 gals, coffee each meal 500 !t»s butter daily. In the sason of green jeas, the Home uses 60 bushels at one meal, requiring a detail of 80 to hull them.

The above is the finest train running out or into this city, and Mr Carter, the master car builder, deserves much credit for

same.
q^-»-An old darkey purchased a three-cent stamp last night in a business house in thh city, and gave in payment what was supposed to be three copper cents. One of them proved to be a campaign medal of 1888, on the obverse side of which is double medallion showing the heads of Seymour and Blair, the reverse the le gend "General amnesty, uniform curren cy, equal taxes, and equal rights." We believe Seymour and Blair were the can didates of the party to-day calling itself Democratic. How would the above do for a campaign cry this year, with Voorhees and McDonald on the same stump? 1 »-X. 1-' IS. „!..!*—.11—I

The largest passenger locomotive ef«r made in this country nas been turned out from the Roens locomotive works. It Is built for heavy loads and great speed. It has 19 inch cylinders and weighs 38 tons.

By member of the DAILT SI*H Stiff, who dotn't travel uo "Pbotograpk" P»». The ''light which makes darkness vi«ible" was discovered toy a railroad man, and has been used in rail cars ever since.
So it is a rail light rather than a real light. That is why the man with newspaper rails at it so.
The man who inventedj^hesteam whistle was noted for his intense hatred of the human race.
And the human race returns that hatred tenfold.
f\
The whistle of the locomotive Is not sounded to warn the train bands of danger. Oh dear, no they know* well enough what to do, without any blowing.
No the whistle is sounded, when anything out of the usual course takes place to notify the passengers to get their questions ready as the conductor passes through the cars.
Conductors are jolly fellows. They are always on the train. They like no better fun than telling to each one of the 200 to 500 passengers that the train was stopped because, etc.. etc., etc.
It was to indulge this predilection of the conductor that cars are so made that it is next to impossible to hear anything unless the speaker's mouth is glued toj'ourear.
But you never find any difficulty in hearing every word of the man two seats back of you who is telling the world all about his family affairs.
Of course you hear him. Niagara or a piano recital wouldn't drown his voice. It isn't to be expected.
Brakemen are so called because the}' break to the passengers the news of arrival at each station.
The)' usually break it so effectually that no one passenger gets more than a very jmall fragment of the name.
The braketnan of- a passenger train looks forward to the time when he shall be conductor. -a
T,
The freight brakeman merely looks out for bridges. Brakemen get to work very early. They frequently get their brake fast on the train.
In the Winter passenger cars are provided with stoves. Theso are used to melt the snow from the roof. As that is where the heat goes it is presumed they are satisfactory in results achieved.
The baggage smaifher is an over praised being. He is not the murrain among trunks he has been represented.
His strength lies in his weakness. He smashes trunks consumedly There's no denying that. But this is because of bis paucity of power.
His ambition is great. He seizes a large trunk. If he were strong it, would be well. He would lift the trunk to the place appointed without jar or bother.
Being weak, it. eludes his grasp, and after throwing itself upon the floor, dances a hornpipe from mere exhuberanee of spirits.
Every engine has an engineer. Which is no more than fair, seeing that the cars have also au engine near.
Firemen are utilized in two ways. Either they arc promoted to be engineers, or arc fried out for the oil with which they are saturated.
A fireman after a year's service will yield more oil than a sperm whale of ten times his weight.
The engineer values the good-will of the fireman very highly. He always keeps on the right side him.

How Salww Are Caned. Baring the fishing season on the ColumbiaKi ver, which lasts from April
All the processes are pushed forward with great celerity and as the men engaged in the work are paid by result, there is a sufficient guarantee against idleness. Before being (placed in the cases in which they are forwarded to market, they are again subjected to a close scrutiny, and tapped with a hammer to see if they liave a proper ring and that there is no flaw of any kind and it is a proof of the care and dexterity of those employed that but few of the cans are rejected.
In 1878, over a million and a quarter of salmon were captured and canned, the largest number Drought to canneries in one day being twelve thousand, one weighing sixty-five pounds! In some of the largest establishments, as many as three thousand salmon can be manipulated in the course of a day these are received in the morning, and in the course of twelve hours, tnanks to the unceasing industry of the Chinese laborers, they are cut up, canned, cooked and read for market.
r...
Nothing but constant practice could have perfected this part of the work. It is a treat to see how neatly they, in tho most impartial way, fill the box with an alternate thick aud thin layer of the fish. A little spoonful of salt being placed in each can, as rapidly as each is filled, the lid or top is soldered down, after which they are ready for the cook-Ing-hoase. In that place the filled cans are treated in quite a wholesale fashion arranged on frames, they are run to the cooking-hoase in quantities containing ten dozen and as many as three frames at a time are immersed in a huge steamer constructed for the purpose, the riod allowed for cooking of a can be-
perio Ing exactly one hour. Re the
moved from .their bath of steam, cans have each a small hole or breathing-place bored in them, so as to admit of their cooling quickly and of tiie air with which they are filled blowing off*. Thejtins are next placed, for a period of two hours, in a gigantic boiler full of boiling salt water after which they are individually examined, to see that the ends have assumed a concave shade. Such tins as have not taken this Bhape are condemned, whilst the others are passed rapidly forward to be varnished and labelled.
A flexible waterpipe with a strong and and consequently (be butter, however searching flow of water is used for cleans- sweet at first, will not keep. A great iaj the salmon, which so soon as they many people, fortunately for their palundergo that process, are marshalled ac- ates, have no idea what good butter Is, cording to size within reach of the first being incapable of telling good from bad. operator.

The duty of the second operator is to wash, scrape, and otherwise cleanse the to far prepared fish having done so, it is passed on for inspection to man number three, who at once remedies any defect in the cleaning, and sees generally that the previous operations have been tlko rough.
The fourth person ranges the fish in the cutting-trough, where, by means of a series of blades driven by a powerful crank, they are divided into portions which in turn are operated upon with great rapidity by another Chinaman, who cuts them into longitudinal sections. Carried away in baskets, the pieces are neatlv and quickly filled into the cans in which they are to be presented for sale.

Philadelphia butter, as it is named, commands from seventy-five cents to one dcllar the year round. The first-class hotels and restaurants always have exI cellent butter 'they are obliged to have it. But the moment you leave them? the butter is precarious, even suspicious.
Indeed, you very rurely ^et it. Not nearly enough good butter is made to supply the demand of any ordinary rates, You must pay double price to secure it It is nearly as easy (o make good as it is to make poor butter but farmers liavo not yet found it out. If competent persons would go through the couutry instructing others how to make butter, it would be an important and benevolent work. What tho quality of butter was in ancient times is uuknown. Many people think that it is a modern article of food, but it seems to have been used largely bv the ancient Hebrews. The earliest distinct mention of it is by Herodotus, and frequent reference is made to it by writers of the same age. The old Greeks and Romans employed it 08
an ointment in their baths, the former

gaining their knowledge of it from the Scythians, Thracians and .Phrygians, while the Romans got butter from Germany. In southern Europe it is now very sparingly used, and in Italy, Spain Portugal and southern Francs, it is sold by apothecaries medically, for external application. This is the greatest buttermaking state in the Union, about onefourth of all the butler in the country being produced in New York—Chautauqua, Delaware, Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Orange and Otsego exceeding all other counties. Something like 140,000,000 !ounds are said to be made in the entire country, and its value is estimated at some $70,000,000. If butter were properly made, the value of the product would be nearly doubled. We sorely need missionaries in the cause of good butter.—Arew York Times.
Fifteen Follies.
1. To think that the more a man eats the fatter and stronger he will become. 2. To believe that the more hours children study at school, the faster they learn. 8. To conclude that, if exercise is healthful, the more violent and exhaustive it is the more good is done. 4. To imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained. 5. To act on the presumption that the smallest room In the house is large enough to sleep in. 6. To argue that whatever remedy makes you feel immediately better is "good for" the system without regard to ulterior effects. 7. To commit an act which is felt in itself to be prejudicial, hoping that some how or other it may be done in your case with impunity. 8. To advise another to take a remedy which vou have tried on yourself, without making special inquiry whether the conditions are alike. 9. To eat without an appetite, or. to continue to eat after it has been satisfied, merely to gratify the taste. 10. To ent a hearty supper for the pleasure experienced duriug 'tlie brief Lime it is passing down the throat, at the expense of a whole night of disturbed sleep, and a weary waking in the nporning. j.11. To remove a portion of the covering immediately after exercise, when the most stupid drayman knows that if he does not put a cover on his horse the moment lie ceases to work in winter, he willlosehim in a few days by pneumonia. 12.—To contend that because the dirtiest children on the street or highway are heartv or healthy, therefore it is the healthiest to be dirty forgetting that pure out-door air in joyous, unrestrained activities, is such a powerful Agency of health that those who live thus are well in spite of rags and filth. 13. To presume to repeat later in life, without injury, the indiscretions, exposures mid intemperances which in the finish of youth were practiced with impunity. .o-m hiv. 14. To believe that cold air is necessarally more healthy than the confined air of a crowded vehicle. The latter at most can only cause nausea, while entering a conveyance after walking briskly and .lowering the window, wrT, by exposure to & draft give cold infallibly, or an attack of pleurisy or pneumonia, which will cause weeks ana months of suffering, if not actually death!within four days. 4* 15.
