A SECRET WORTH KNOWING.

How to make three pairs of boots last as
long as six, and longer. The following ex-
tract is from Colonel Macerone's Seasonabe
Hints, which appeared in the Mechanics
Magazine, dated Feb. Sd, 1888, After stat
ing the utility of sheepskin clothing, for per-
sons whose employment renders it necessary
that they should be much out of doors, &C.,
he says" will not conclude without invt-
ing the attention of our readers to a cheap
and easy method Of preserving their feet
from wet and their boots from wear. / have
only had three pair of boots for the last six
years Ono shoeS) and think that | shall not
require any other for the next six years to
come. The reason is that ] treat them in the
following manner: [ put pound of tallow
and half pound Of rosin into pot on the
fire; when melted and mixed, warm the
boots and apply the hot stuff with a paint
brush until neither the sole nor the upper
feathers will suck in any more If it is dcsir-
ed that the boots should Immediately take
polish, dissolve an ounce of bees wax in an
ounce of spirits of turpentinc, to which add
tea spoonful Of lamp black. A day or two
after the boots have been treated with the
talow and roSin, rub over them the wax in
turpcntine but not before the fire. Thus the
exterior will have coat Of wax, alone, and
shine Ike a mirror. Talow, or any other
grease, becomes rancid, and rots the stitching
as well as the leather; but the rosin gives It !
an antlseptic quality which preserves the
whole. Boots or shoes should be so large as
to admit Of wearing in them cork soos--
Cork is so good conductor of heat, that with
{ in the boot, the feet are always warm on

A ToUGH STORY OF a ToUGH PAIR OF
BREECHES Our old friend 81 Sade, Of
York county, when he was in New York, told
Porter the following story-which by the
way, he has told so often, that he now rcIi-
giously believes it to be true:
"When [ lived down back Of Bildlcford,"
said the old man, al helped break up a new
piece Of ground we got the wood off in the
winter, and early in the fall we begun to think
Of plowin' ont. 1t was so consumed rocky
that we had to get forty yoke Of oxen to one
plow-we did, fact and held that pillow for
more than Il week-I thought | should die.
1t en- almost killed me, YUM. One day |
was holdin', and the pillow hit stump, which
measured just nine foot and half through it
hard and sound white oak. The plow
split it and | went right straight through the
stump, when | happened to think it might
snap together again so | just threw my feet
out, and had no sooner done this, than it
snapped together taking strong hold of the
seat of my pantaloons. Of course | was
tight but held on the plow handles, and
though the teamstcrS did all they could, that
team Of eighty oxen couldn't tear my panta-
loons-nor cause me to let 90 my grip. AT
last, though, after letting the cattle breathe,
they gave another strong pull, altogether and
the old stump came out about the quickest
it had monstrous long roots too, let me tell
you. My wife made the cloth for them pan
falcons and / haint worn any other kind

OMY TooTH.-A young man came into
our Office last week, who complained that he
had been for three days, and was still afflicted,
with the tooth-achc. We arc no dentist nor
physician, but having one of Mcad's Electro
Magnetic machines at hand, we invited him
to treat his tooth to little silent lightning
The consequence was that in two minutes
the pain was perfectly removed.
We have now made arrangements by
which we can sell these beautiful and efficient
machines for $3.50, including the battery
and superior metallic cords.-Sci. Mecd.
