Improvement i'm Roots \ shoes

An English mechanic has devised a
new plan for the construction of boots and
shoes. 1t consists in forming the under
sole and seat of the heel that it may be
easily adjusted in the seat, or be readily
removed, repaired and relitted, or Il new
one submitted. Where desired, passages
or grooves are formed in the inner top
surface, which communicate with the
atmosphere, and through perforations in
in the inner sole, with the foot, there is
stamped, or Otherwise formed from leather
gutta percha, or suitable material for the
undersole Of boots and other like articles,
a piece which forms the sole, waist and
seat of the heel. The seat is followed in
the centre, and is formed on the inside
with a sunk plunge or rim for the recep-
ton of the heel. The plan presents de-
cided advantages.

Manufacture of Mineral Teeth

Artificial teeth are now made as hard
rs the natural. They are formed of
aints or quartz rock, and feldspar. Quartz
and feldspar are both very hard sub
stances, but rendered still harder when
mixed or fused together, A given pro-
portion or feldspar and of flint are ground
together, in a mortar or on n slab, to an
almost impalpable powder, and a paste
made of this powder is fashioned into
the general shape which may be desired
for the teeth.

A Thing Every Farmer should
Know.

If you wish to drive a cut-nail into sea-
soned oak timber, and not have it break
or bend, just have a small quantity of oil
near by and dip the nail before driving,
and it will never fail to go. In mending
carts and plows this is of great advantage
for they are generally made most of oak
wood. In strengthening old nails before
using, lot it be done on wood, and with
easy blows. If done on iron they will he
sure TO break.

VARIETY.
Old John.

Old John was quite a temperate man
That no one could deny,
He drank his water tempered with
a triae of old rye"
For John believed in warming drinks,
And tonic mixtures mild,
As he was often troubled with
His stomach's getting rye-rd.
Old John was not a pious man
But yet he oft did feel
The spirits influence DER his soul
In pensive moments steal.
Old John was not to falsehood prone.
Nor truth nor virtue scoffed,
Yet, though he rarely spoke untruth
I've seen him lie full oft.
Though grim of feature and austere,
Nor oft by mirth beguiled,
And, though he very seldom laughed,
No man more often smiled.
A "hard case" he was often styled,
But, though a rough old fellow,
A hard case he could scarce have been.
He was so often mellon.
They called him dissolute and loose,
As with much truth they might,
But yet It's strange they called him loose
When always getting tight.
Though flushed his face his nose bloodred
His hair of sanguine hue,
Yet people often would persist,
And say that John was blue.
John had no music in his soul,
1t was not in him born;
Yet though he could not raise a note
He sometimes tried a horn.
Though bold as youthful David, who
Before Goliath stood
John slew no giants with his sling
All! no twas HE got slew'd.
But nowhe gone! death called him when
His earthly toll was done,
He smiled his last and then went off
Halfcocked, like some old gun.

Mr.. Caesar, a darkey preacher on a
southern plantation, had made an appoint
ment to preach about twenty miles from
his masters plantation, and there he made
his appearance with his saddle bags on
his arm, and gave out at once hat he had
come to preach the Gospel to the niggers
~thereabout.
"Yah yah" responded a hundred
voices; but one of the negroes, more bold
but not worse than the rest, sung OUT
"Well, now, look a-here, niger, if you
js brung a pack o cards wild you, you
mout dun sumfn, but preachin' is a little
too slow for dis congregation"
Caesar demonstrated with them, as they
all seemed to fall in with the old fellows
IDEAS; but they told him to go home, and
/" de mex time he come to bring de cards"
Caesar started off with his sa~ddle-bags on
his arm, but halted, opened them, and
turning about as he said, "If OATS what
you must have, why, den, you must!' and
pulling out a greasy old pack, sat down
IN the grass.
Oats de talk: o de land, jis look!
dat niger got some little senses left arter
all: sensibul to de last ~ they cried ont,
one after another. The preacher COM
menccd operations, and after some five or
six hours playing, had skinned every
thing around, cleaning them out of all the
loose silver they had picked up in many a
day; Cesar showed the documents into the
bags, and starting off again, told them, by
way of a parting benediction, that when
ever they had a little more money to sup
port the Gospel in that way, just to let him
know.

Punch is wicked enough to print the
following paragraph under the head of
" Social Statistics" Married gentlemen
will read it and take warning:
Thirteen married gentlemen, who,
within the last week or so, have been con-
victed of having smoked in their own
dining room, have been severally fined a
new bonnet, and IN default, have been
committed to the hard labor of taking out
their wives for an afternoons shopping.

The following specimen of young
Americanism'' we think is to good to be
lost:
One night Freddy had been put to bed,
and mother and Johnny were in an ad-
joining room. Presently Johnny cut up
some caper, On which mother threatened
to take him into the other room and whip
him.
Mother" said Freddy's voice under
the bed clothes, " know where I'd take
HIM"
"Where?" said the mother, whose
curiosity was excited.
I'D take him under the left ear"
