Mr. Thomas F. Hagarty describes, in 7s American Machinist, the following plan for g use of the old cans which have been ‘used for fruit and es, Collect all the cans you may require, (00 qmart cans: pre- & bright fire in the Aitchen ‘stove, and have cans close at hand. Havea cloth in each hand; —— acan onthe stove lid, and when the solder which holds the top or bottom to the to melt, place a canon the other remove the first one, and with an old knife, old file, stove-lifter, or anything at hand, knock off whichever end you may have placed next the fire. In most cases it will drop off. With the cloth in the left hand hold the can, and with the right hand wipe the melted solder from the inside and outside of the adge quickly before it Sets. Remove the next can and replace it with another, and repeat the operation until both — of the 100 cans are freed from their tops ad bottoms. You now have 100 tubes, 4% inches, long by 4 inches in diameter. These 100 tubes can, with but Uttle skill, be converted into 35 feet 4 inches of 4-inch drain-pipe, which, toa farmer or house owner, would be worth more than the orizinal cost of 100 cans filled with tomatoes. In order to prepare them so that the tube wiil enter one-fourth of au inch inside of the other, take a tube in the left hand, piace: one edge over the corner of a pine table, nothing more convenient is at hand, and witha hammer, or a piece of stick, hammer the edge downward, turning the tube regularly every stroke. Place the other re of the tube on the edge of the table and strike it from the inside, turning regularly. By this operation one end will be crimped, and the other enlarged. It requires but littlé enlargement to make one endenterand admit of being driven tightly into theother. They should be put together in Jengths of six tubes, The seams should not come on a line with each other. To insure Strength the joints might be tacked with a sol- dering iron, but if they are forced tightly to- gether they will be water tight. A coat of common paint, or tar, inside and outside, would make this pipe last for years unde! rout, and if properly packed in the earth it will have am- le strength to resist external pressure. h fine solder can be saved from what is wiped off bps ree tomend all the household tinware for a lifetime.

How To Make Your Reports. The recent defalcation, in San Francisco, by the Secretary of a Building § Society, of moneys paid to him by members, ‘between meetings,” amounting to about $26,000, has brought forth ee pcm Na the lawyers that the Society is responsi to this point we are not altogether lear? ces a would-be Bank d2- positor, calls on the Receiving Teller ofa bank athis own residence at night and deposi ts with him $5,000 in cash“ and gets_a Fecelpt for the same in his deposit Book. Then the bank clerk fails to turn in the money to the bank, will any sane person say that the bank should lose this money. No! in justice, the loss should fall a on the careless would be depositor. While it 13 a common practice to hand money over to the officers and directors of bullding societies “between meetings,” it is such a careless prac- ice that the courts would be doing a great good tothe community casting the blame upon the thoughtless member who thus deposits his money. One or two cases of this kind decided against the depositor would put a stop to the careless business of paying money between meetings and would convince the members of the necessity of going to the regular place of meeting to deposit their money. Take the case of the San Francisco Society, some $26,000 paid to the Secretary by members who held 50 to 75 shares each and who each paid fitty tO seventy-tivedollars per month to the Secretary at his home or at his private place of business. ‘These persons were not poor, evidently they Were moneyed men and ought to have known better and we cannot see the justice of making the body of the poor members of the society suffer the loss caused by the carelessness of a few depositors who had more money than they knew how to properly take cafe of. We hope the courts will decide gains the depositors and thus effectually put a veto upon the loose hand- lng of building association funds. —Buding Association Journal. Jumping the Sierra Nevada.

(USE. eve aes HOW ENGLAND TAKES HER CENSUS A Quick and Accurate Method of Enumeration—The Population of the United Kingdom Counted in a Day. {Boston Herald.] In Great Britdin'a census has been taken every ten years since 1sii, and the system 1s now one of the most perfect in existence. Until near the close of the last century, there was no real method, and all previous estima- tions of the population of the United Kingéom were mere guesswork. It seems the more strange that such should have been the fact, considering that, in the American colonies, enumerations of the population had often been made by order of the home government. In 1790, a beginning was made in Scotland by Sir John Sinclair, who, through his personal efforts in enlisting the co-operation of all the clergy- men of the established church, collected re- turns which were of great value, although ne. cessarily incomplete. After seven years completed his compilations, and published the results in twenty-one volames, probably the greatest statistical work ever undertaken and carried through. by. one private enterprise. yaa the syst adopted in 1851, the census Great Britain is now taken in one day, the sist of March. In 1851 30,610 enumerators were pepcinted ine in es and Wales by the 2,190 registrars in those countries, each jenntnerater having a distinctly refined district ae ied to ee = oad the thirty-two erifls aj © temporary registrars— generally pariah Schoolmasters and 8,130 enu- Mnerators. For the smaller islands, the oe ment appointed 257 enumerators, "and Jand ue census was taken by the conte lary. me days before the census day print peauies rere delivered 3 at every ‘puse or tenement; in Wales were printed in Welsh for the ‘ponent 6 of t the lower classes. ‘These schedules one eee about the name, relation Sean ee ia Cp Sex, ion, of every, Seon in ‘Great zy Drala, an epee ala th a ‘These sched- a — filled up in the night of March were taken up at an early hour on March 31 at the collector Hiling up the paris that had been left blank a ice OF inability.

His eyes were slightly prominent, and there was hardly any of the white visible. ‘To see him in a crowd was like seeing a stag in |. the midst of a herd of deer. The deer has a tmid way of looking on the ground, but the stag walks with lifted head and shining eyes. His were like stars. Now, Byron was hand- some.
