1,000 HORSES’ HIDES A YEAR.

What It Take* to Satisfy the Base-Holi ; Fiend. The hides of ftboat one thousand horses and the skins of at least ten times as many sheep are cut up into coverings for base balls in this city every season. By one manufacturer alone three tons of yarn are used a year for the insides of base-balls. The hide and skin used is perfectly being alum-tanned, and comes from Philadelphia. Out of one horse’s hide the coverings for twelve dozen balls are cut, and out of one Blieepskin three dozen. Two strips of the leather are required for each ball, cut wide and rounding at each end so that they tit into each other when put around the yarn ball. Each piece, for a League ball, is seven inches long by tWQ inches wide at the rounded ends. The pieces are cut with a die. Old-fashioned, blue Shaker yarn is used for the inside of the League ball, which is wound tightly around a small rubber ball weighing one ounce. The improved League ball bas now double coverings of which is regarded us a great improvement. It is also stitched with gut. The balls ore made entirely by hand, and it requires no little skill to shape them perfectly round. This is done by placing them in an iron cup about the size of the ball and striking it with a mallet at different stages of the winding. Men do this work. They easily make ten dozen League balls in a day, and from forty to fifty dozen ordinary base-balls in the same length of time. Their wages are $2.50 a day. Women sew the coverings together on the ball. This requires considerable skill and strong finger muscles. They can sew from two and one-half to three dozen League balls in a day, and from fourteen to sixteen dozen of the cheaper grades. They are pa'd by the piece, ninety cents a dozen for the League work and ten cents a dozen for the others. Thoy earn about twelve dollars a week. The balls are sewed with what is known as Barker’s flax, which comes in red, blue, orange, and pink colors. The finest balls are sewed with pink. Horsehide covered balls are made in fourteen different varieties. ' Mr. S. W. Brock, a veteran authority on the subject, from Jy horn the above facts were said: “People have the idea that the base-ball business does not amount to anything. Why, I remember; that those who started to go into fit a few years ago were hooted at as throwing their time and money away. They were told that there were not enough base-balls Used in the country tci make it pay. B you may be surprised to know, yet is a fact, that one house alone in this city does a business of $50,000 a year at it, making nothing else. There is a large demand for them, especially from the West and South, and they are sent from here to Canada, Omaha, New Orleans, and Cuba in large quantities. It is an interesting fact that in Cuba the base-ball fever is on the rapid increase, though as yet they buy only the cheaper grades. In the height of the season the largest house here employs seventy-five persons, and turns out three hundred dozen balls a day. This year the manufacturers have more orders than they can fill, and the demand is far ahead of any previous year. An interesting fact about base-balls is that in the past fifteen years the only important change in the professional dead-ball is that of a double cover. Of course fifteen years ago they did not have everything quite so fine about a ball, for there were no professional clubs then, and players were not so particular. No patent was ever obtained on the shape of the covering to a base-ball, though there have been a number of claimants to its invention.” —New York Mail and Express.

Amazing Change in Ocean Vessels. During the last fifteen years an amazing change has been wrought iii the character of the ocean commerce of the world, says the New York Sun. From the latest statistics available we have prepared two tables, which show how the business is distributed among the eleven countries which are foremost in maritime enterprise. We have also " calculated in each case the percentage of increase or decrease during the period in which the cheap freight steamer known as the ocean tramp has wrought a revolution in the business. First as to sailing vessels: - ' • : " ■ .

Roaring Pemaquid.

Pemaquid Point, near Damariscotta, Me., has been said to be, in a gale from any point of the compass between southeast and southwest, the roughest point on the Atlantic coast. It is literally out at sea, and the winds of the Atlantic, rolling in from 3,000 miles of ocean without let or hindrance, break with explosivo roar upon its bastions of stone, which are worn into endless forms by the attrition and abrasion of a-ies. It is very rarely that any point of the mainland possesses all the conditions of an uninterrupted breaking place for the waves of the ocean. Outlying rocks or islands, or the conformation of the adjacent coast usually break up or check the course of the waves long before reaching the mainland. Nothing lies between Pemaquid

Point and the broad Atlantic, and even in the calmest mood of the sea the roar of its surf upon its walls is remarkable. When the southerly gale is on the spray is flung hundreds of feet into the, air. The noise is deafening. Huge pieces of rook are broken from the projecting walls and thrown upon the Pemaquid lighthouse stands on the promontory, several hundred feet back from the edge, with the house of the keeper adjoining it. The light is at least 300 feet above the level of the sea. Yet in a southerly gale a few years ago a large stone was hurled by the waves through the thick gloss of the laiitern, and the spray came down the chimneys of the houses in such quantities as to extinguish the fires. History and legefid also lend their attractions to Pemaquid. No part of the country was earlier known to' voyagers. The ships of Pring, Weymouth, and Gilbert had plowed these waters long before the settlement of Jamestown, and Pemaquid was the. fiyal. of Plymouth and Boston as a metropolis in the infancy of New Englarid. The old fort at the harbor was for nearly a century on the disputed territory between Massachusetts and Acadia.

WISE SALMON TROUT.

Evidence that Ceriain Fish Are Endowed witli a rower Akin to Reason. In the winter of 1840 I hunted deer and fished for salmon trout in and around Bonaparte Lake, Lewis County, N. Y. I fished by putting down 100 hooks through holes in the ice about four rods apart. These were baited with good-sized minnows hooked through the back in such a manner as not to kill them. After the lines had been down the first night I took from them in the morning twenty-five goodsized salmon trout. Each successive morning thereafter I got a less and less number, until on the eighth day the number had diminished to about seven or eight. But the astonishing part of it was that the bait was gone from every hook just the same as it was on the first morning when I made the big catch. I knew that the trout were not all caught out, and it was very- apparent that I could not catch any more without removing to a new ground and cutting a new set of holes, which I accordingly did, about a quarter of a mile from my former grounds. There my results were the same as before, and after fishing seven or eight days I found it would be necessary for me to move again. One day I ran a line of hooks in such a direction that one of them came over a rocky bar where there was open ater. I saw there was an opportunity for an experiment, which I at once decided to try. I fastened the upper end of the line to an overhanging piece of brush, so that nothipg could interfere with the bait below without decidedly moving the brush. Then I laid down on the ice with a coat over my head so that I could look down through., the clear water and watch developments. Finally a large, fine trout came along and began maneuvering with the minnow attached to the hook, and operated in the following manner: He kept as close to the minnow as possible, and repeatedly snapped at it very cautiously, re opening his mouth before he had fairly closed it, so as to prevent getting ■•anything in his mouth he did not want. When the lively minnow had swam away as far as the line would permit the trout made a more forcible snap at it, so as, to cut it entirely from the hook. The nfinnow sank to the bottom, and the trout went after it, and soon had it stored away. I then discovered why I had to move so often. I immediatedly baited the hook with another minnow and lowered it down; the trout came for it again, and snapped at it as before. I left it sink to the bottom, where the trout went after it, and swallowd bait, hook and all, and I never m ssed another one where I saw the trout working at it;— Seth Green, in American Agriculturist.

The Editor and the Bore.

One elderly hyperbolator has become a fearful nuisance to his friends with his war yarns. One day this elderly gentleman sauntered into a newspaper office, took a chair beside a journalistic friend, pulled out a Century , and opened to the map of a celebrated engagement. With a sigh the editor, who, by the way, stutters most disastrously, laid down his pen and prepared to be bored for an hour. Said the veteran: “Oh, this was a famous battle, and how well I remember the day and recall the scene. How plainly this map recalls to my mind the green fields and the dusty roads! Here, where my finger points, is where the enemy tried to turn our left flank. Here is whejre we changed, driving them back in disorder. At this point our gallant Major fell, penetrated by a score of minie bullets. And here, right beside this clump of trees, is where I had my leg broken by a bullet. * “G-G-General,” said the editor, his face as impassive as a wall, “w-w-won’t you show the b b-boys, please, where your b-b-brains were blown out?”— Boston Record.

She Is Ignorant of Their Value.

"Le D : ggs, here’s an item I wish you would read to onr landlady,” remarked l)e Wiggs. “What is it about?” „ “About a man in Mississippi who sold a petrified chicken for $20.” ”What do y6u want that read to her for?” “Why, don’t you see? If she finds out she can get S2O apiece for petrified chickens she won’t serve any more up for dinner.” —Pittsburgh Citron-iole-Te egrapg.

Diseases of Animals in Menageries.

Several kinds of quadrupeds in the London Zoo suffer from corns on their feet, dine to the hard floors, and these produce boring ulcers, which may extend clear through the foot. Hernia occasionally afflicts the monkeys, and a tiger has lately been killed by an accumulation in his intestines of sawdust swallowed with his food. These are new diseases in menageries. ■’ Ever? man who has lost a leg or an arm in defense of his fireside should be re-membered.

A TREATISE ON ECONOMY.

An Attempt to Unravel an Intricate Kol- - ence. When Bummer comes purchase an $8 suit of blue flannel. This is economy. In a month's time if they begin to reach upward at the ends sew lead at the bottom of the legs, or, if this will not answer the purpose, “sprinkle sugar in the shoes to call them down.” This is rough on high-water “pants.” If they become yellow on the knees, ink them carefully, or boil them in black paint. If they stretch at the waistband, lap them over ' iff plaits. Then go around the block* and people will imagine you to be one of Barnum’s latest additions to the museum. Save money and purchase $S suits. A real $8 suit cm be had of all the leading clothiers. Never pay as high as S.O for a suit of clothes. Eight from thirty leaves twenty-:wo. Twenty two dollars 4te saved l v this deal. Economy is wealth. Again, let us look in the tangle of domest.c economy. A man will sometimes walk to save car fare, and then purchase a quarter of a dollar’s worth of cigars. He will also complain bitterly of the dull times; but watch him enjoy the ballet in the orchestra. This is bald-headed economy. People must enjoy themselves one way if they have to economize in another. Again, will an 80-cent shirt stand rubbing on a' washboard ? It might. But generally they are handled with care. “Deal gently with the prizepackage shirt” is a rule sometimes lai down, by laundrymen. “Steam and coax it to become clean,” he adds to the laundress, “but do not wrestle with it. ” A laundress will not wrestle with a cheap shirt. Again, if a spring bonnet costs $27.50 what will a derby hat come to? Oneninety. Because this same gentleman who pays for the aforesaid spring bonnet desires to economize on hats. Domestic economy is an intricate science. And here again is a beautiful scene of economy: Closing up the house during the summer months to allow the family to enjoy themselves in the country. Are you not paying rent? Yes; unless you own the house. But houseowners are not included in this argument. I refer to the gentleman who pays rent. Who gets the benefit of this vacant house during the summer months ? , The servant girl, the policeman, and the cotton-bugs. What are the family doing in the country ? Enjoying themselves and getting tanned. They are gettiug healthy. GootL, But in the meantime you are paying rent. This is one of the delicate questions in economy. Again, a young man writes to ask me if he can get married on $lO a week. Yes, he can, if the girl’s father is a millionaire. But, unless the girl’s father is a millionaire, I would advise him to keep single. Can a man keep house on $lO a week ? He can—about three days.— Puck.

Cork.

Dealers divide cork into four classes, according to thickness, viz.: Thick corks, having more than thirty-one millimeters diameter; ordinary or commercial, from twenty-five to forty; bastard, from twenty-three to twentyfive ; and thin corks, less than twentythree millimeters. A cork of .good quality should be white, tawny or f|bk, with a close, fine grain, and free from cracks. The powder of cork is met with in trade under the name of liegine. The waste resulting from the manufacture of bottle corks is made useful by being mixed with plaster, etc., for partitions, filling walls, and other purposes; it also produces an excellent kind of charcoal, which is said to be good for gunpowder manufacture. Linoleum is a composition of cork powder and linseed oil. In some instances cork powder is found highly adulterated, sawdust and clay being employed for this purpose. Cork leather is made from India rubber and cork powder, and has come into considerable use for waterproof purposes.

Three Things.

The following lines were copied from the album of a young lady. 1. Three things to admire: Intellectual power, dignity, and eracefulness. 2. Three things to love: Courage, gentleness, and affection. 3. Three things to hate: Cruelty, arrogance, and ingratitude. 4. Three things to delight in: Frankness, freedom, and beauty. 5. Three things to wish for: Health, friends, and a cheerful spirit. 6. Three things to avoid: Idleness, loquacity, and flippant jesting. 7. Three things tq fight for: Honor, country, and home. 8. Three things to govern: Temper, tongue, and conduct. 9. Three things to ’ think about : Life, death, and eternity. N- * . —-

Picturesque Sight in the Pacific.

I wonder the “authorities” at Honolulu have not set their faces against the displays of fireworks with which every visitor is so delighted. These take place on the north side of Kauai, where the cliffs rise sheer out of the water to a height of nearly 2,000 feet. On a moonless night the spectators put to sea in their canoes and the “pyrotechnist” wtalksiip the _x;liff with a bundle of dry papala sticks (charpentieraj with their feathery blossoms. He lights one and flings it down, and th© win 1, which blows up the face of the cliff, catches it and whirls it about. Then he launches another and another, and soon there is a grand display of stars careering madly about, until, when the wind drops, they glide down gracefully into the sea. —All the Year Hound.

Opening a New Trade.

An important experiment has just been successfully made in transporting fresh fruit over the long route from South Australia to England. The fruit —various kinds of apples, pears, and grapes—was packed in s wdust and placed in a cold chamber kept at a uniform temperature of forty degrees. It arrived in London “in excellent condition. i] A business operated at a loss is like an empty pocketbook, as, to use a common expression: “There’s no money in it.*

Charm of Novelty.

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of whicb.it was not before possessed. We are, generally speaking, so conversant with one set of objects, and tired with to many repeated displays of the same (things, that whatever is new or uncommon contributes more or less tq vary human life, and to divert our minds, for some time at least, with another state of its appearance. Rural nature is ever pleasing in its clothing of groves and gardens;.but the season of their superior beauty is the spring, when thpy are all new and fresh with their first gloss upon them, and not yet too much accustomed and familiar to the eye. In short, what is there which t e imagination or fancy cannot make subservient to its pleasures ?

Milestones on the Road to Health.

The recovery of digestion, and the reaumption of activity by the livct, bowels, and kidneys, are milestones which mark our pre gross on the rood to health. They speedily become perceptible when Hostotte.'s Stomach Bitters is used by tho Invalid. Nothing to surely and expeditiously consumes the distance to the desired goal. As no bodily function can suffer interruption without impairing tho general health of the system, so (he svstom can never acquire perfect vigor, hoalth's synonym, until that function l>- actively resumed. Take, for instance, digestion, a suspension of which ia invariably rectified by tho Bitters. If the organs upon which it devolves grow weak, biliousness, constipation, headache, poverty of the blood, and a hi ndred other symptoms supervene, which indicate unmistakably tho baneful general influence of dyspepsia. The disappearance of all theso symptoms, through the ue« of the Bitters, shows with what thoroughness it removes their cause.
