DICTIONARY ON NAILS.

They Figure In Speech as Well as Trade and Luildixs.

“oa nail a thing is to fix or fasten with a nail or nails; to drive nails into for the purpose ef Ilastening or securing, such as to nail up a box, to nail a shelf to the wail, to mail down the hatches, etc.; to stud with nails; figuratively, to nuil a thing is to pin it @ewn and hold it fast, such as to nail a bargain or secure by prompt action. It was Burns who said:

Ev’n ministers, they ha’e been ken’d, | In holy rapture,

A rousing whid at times to vend, An nail ‘t wi’ Scripture.

Passing into the colloquial, to ‘nail to the counter’ is to put a counterfeit coin eut of circulation by fastening it witha nail to the counter of a shop; hence, fig- uratively, to expose as false.

Other definitions referring to the nail we: Nailer, one who nails, who makes nails or who sells them. while a female nailmaker is referred to by Hugh Miller as a naileress. A nailery is described as an establishment where nails are made. A nail head is the head of a nail, and any- thing is said to be nail headed when so shaped as to resemble the head of a naif.

A nailing machine is one for forcing or driving nails into place; in carpentry, a feeding tube for the nails, connected with a plunger or reciprocating hammer; in shoemaking, a power machine closely al- lied to the shoe pegger, used to drive small metallic pails or brads into the soles of shoes.

The mafl machine is a power machine for making nails, spikes, brads or tacks.

A nailmaker is one who makes nails;a. naNer, a person connected in any capacity in the manufacture of nails.

A nail plate is a plate of metal rolled to the proper thickness fer cutting into nails.

A nail rod is a strip split or cut from an fron plate to be made into wrought nails. A nail selector is a machine, or an attach- ment to a nail machine, for antomatically throwing out headless or otherwise ill formed nails and slivers.

A countersunk nail is one having @ cone. shaped head like that of a screw; a cut nail, one made by a nail machine, as dis- tinguished from a wrought cr forged nail.

“On the nail’? means on the spot, at ence, immediately, without delay or post- ponement, as, to pay money on the nail. This phrase is said to have originated from the custom of making payments, in the exchange at Bristol, England, and elsewhere, on the top of a pillar ealled “the nail.’’—Hardware.

Among the gifts which President Fane took with him to Russia were three dolls for the Grand Duchess Olga, which can talk and sing in French.

Hughes, Druggist.

Hie May Get Innere Yet. “That man Blufily is the busiest fellow

TI ever knew,’’ chuckled one who has known him for years. ‘‘He married: a lot of money, and there ts not the slightest reason for him to work at all, but be wants to keep up the impression that he’s nodeadhead in the enterprise and. keeps going through the motions as if he had! t

“He concluded once he’d do editorial work ona paper. He fitted up an elegant sanctum at his own expense, laid im fine cigars for callers and then announced Him- self ready to have hostilities begin. His: frst assignment was to give his impres- sions.ef the European situation. He de- clared himself at home on the subjeet, chatted and siuoked all afternoon, told his friends to look out for a ‘thunderer’ and

mmvited them out when he felt like warm- |

inguponthe theme. Inthe evening he was oqually breezy and assured, When. the

munagivg editor dropped in about 10) and |,

asked Bluffly if the article was ready;. he answered with a wuve of the hand and. the announcement that it would take him at least.a week to get up such an editerialias was cue himself and the paper. He cofild not: be made to comprehend that the: paper had to eome out every day or that the shifting situation might be entirely changed in a week. He was tried. with several other topics, but never had any copy prepared and was induced to resign.

“He epened a broker’s office that seon became a social clubroom where there: was: ne suggestion of business. He bought:a patent right that he threatened to.push, till he had made a few millions, but im a mnenth forgot that he owned it. Now be has tackled electricity with a view to talk- ing with Mars.’’—Detroit Free: Press.

Truthful Advertising;.

The. half dozen transcontinental railroad companies, says John Muir in The Atlan- tic, advertise the beauties of their lines in gorgeous many colored folders, each claim- ing its as the ‘‘scenic route.’’ “The route of superior desolation’’—the smoke, dust and ashes route—would be a more trath- ful description. through dismal smoke and barbarous mel- apcholy ruins, and the companies might well cry in their advertisements: ‘‘Come, travel our way! Ours is the blackest. It is the only genuine Erebus route. The sky is black, and the ground is black, and en either side there is a eontinuous border ef black stumps and logs:and blasted trees appealing to heaven for helpasif still half alive, and their mate elequence is most in- terestingly touching. The blackness is perfect. On account of the superior skill of our workmen, advantages of climate and the kind of trees, the charring is gen- erally deeper along our line, and the ashes are deeper, and the confusion and desola- tion displayed can never be rivaled. No other route on thts continent so fully il- lustrates the abomination of desolation.’’ Such a claim would be reasonable, as each seems the worst, whatever route you chance to take.

Nearest to It.

A boy of 6 years, who attends a private school where prizes sre given on every sort of provocation, but as yet had never earned a prize, came home one afternoon and exhibited proudly oae of these rewards of merit,

**Good?’’ said his mother. ‘‘But how did you gain it?’’

‘I was first in natural history.’’

‘*Natural history at your age? How did that happen?’’

“Oh, they asked me how many legs a horse had.’’

“And what did you say?’’

**T said five.’’

**But a horse hasn't five legs, child."’

“TI know, but all the other boys said gix.’’—Pearson’s Weekly.
