At the oomlutf convention of the American associa tion to be held In l'lttsburg beiflnulng July 8, this proposition will probably be mnde one ol the most Important to be cousldered, sud nn alliance with the orgnuizud workmen ol Del glum and Franco will be negotiated. A strike baa been In progress in Ilelglum for several weeks, and the Americnu workmen desire to ascertain the true status ot the trouble, with the object of giving the foreigners fluanclal assistance. An alliance such as Is now pro posed, existed between the workmen ol America and Ilelglum for s number of years, but lost Its identity some time ngr, because ot the withdrawal ot tue Americans.

The biggest uiistuko aud tte funniest I ever know a merchant to nuike wns when one of ray friends concluded to spend $70 to linve Illustrated Blgns painted on fences and barns In the country. Tlio pictures were all humor ous and In colors, to bo painted on a white background. One was a bullfrog reaching out after a bug; another a dog, catching a fellow by tho sent of his pants, and another a snake nnd a bird, a sort of a take-off on the "early bird catches the first worm." Well, the painter used whitewash, and cheap colors. After tho first rain tbe bull frog picture and the words of tho ad vertisement got wonderfully blended together, and the bull dng was made to chow the advertiser's name Instead of the other fellow's trousers; at least that Is tho way the blur tiiado It ap pear. After the second ruin there was only a vague sort of nn Indication of an advertisement, the' water having washed out some words and letters and leaving others untouched. Tor lu stance, tlio lino "Purchase your Hug gles" on ono sign appeared as "Chuso our Bug." Farm Machinery. mittlnff Horse's Nostrils. Rlltting a horse's nostrils Is still prac ticed In some pnrts of the world, ns In l'prsls, Mongolia, and even In .Northern Africa: ftnd pontes with slit nostrils ara often seen In the Himalayas and In Af ghanistan. This mutilation Is resorted to In the erroneous belief that the horse) can Inhale more air when going at a fast pace, and also that It prevents neighing a disqualification of much Importance during war, or when It Is desirable to travel as silently as possi ble. It was practiced In Hungary not long sgo, If we are to accept ns evi dence tho copy of a finished sketch of a horse's head, by the celebrated Zof fanl, given In Col. Hamilton's work on horses. It Is rather surprising that the fashion wns not renewed In England, for two or three centuries ago, to pre vent a horse neighing, It wos recom mended to tie a woolen band around the tongue. Markhnm snys: "If either when yon nre In service In the wars and would not be discovered, or when upon any other occasion you would not hnve your horse to neigh or make a nolsa, you shnll take a lyste (band) of woolen cloth, and tye It fast In many folds about the middle of your horse's tongue, and believe It, to long as the tongue Is so tyed, so long ths horse can by no means nnlgh or make any extraordinary noise with his voice, ns hath often been tried and approved of." A very barbarous and useless opera tion for the prevention of stumbling In horses wns fashionable toward the end of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth centuries; this was the ex posure of the tendon of a muscle that assists In dilating the nostrils, and twisting It round two or three times, when It Is divided. "In doing this you shall see the horse bring his hinder legs to bis fore legs almost, when you have thus pulled and turned the sinew two or three times." Bitch a statement will glvo some Idea of the pain the animal experienced during the senseless opera tion. The Nineteenth Century. Too Htrong.
