GOOD ADVICE.

Our general advice, is, patronize the pa
per or periodical nea=s@ssss,o you in preference
10 those more remote, even if it be not so
good, for the more patronage it has, the bet
ter and ADLER it can afford to be, and will it
become. Help to sustain the people you live
among-your farmers, your laborins men
before all others. This, we conceive to be
the true morals of reciprocity. Sustain the
paper of your own ncighborhocd, your own
State, your own party, first and beyond all
other, whether all things arc equal or not -
The man who is so liberal that he would as
lief have one party in power as another, who
thinks as much of other denominations as his
own, is literal milk and water man, and is
only fit to be cmetized into the first mud-pud.
die he comes to.
But while we say these things, we advise
every head of family if he can possibly af-
ford it, even if it be at the expense of one
dinner every week in the year, to take lead
ing periodical, published in some one of the
largest cities in the Union, because Of large,
ness of view and solidity Of conduction which
can be commanded only by large and rich
establishment, their very wealth giving them
the power to be liberal in their views and
independent in their principles, which add
so greatly to their conservative value. And
mind, reader, Conservatism is the only hope
of safety in our day and generation.

THE INVENTION OF SHOES.

Sandals were most common among the
Oricntals. As they were mere soles of wood
or leather fastened to the foot with strings,
they were 10 protection from the dust; hence
arose the hospitable practice Of washing the
visitors feet-a practice so much insisted
upon by public opinion, that if any one pas
sing out of house beat the dust from his
feet, it showed that they had not been wash
ed, and left on the house the reproach of in
hospitality, which was the deepest of all dis
honor. The Greeks and Romans added the
moccasin or buskin to the saudal-the for
mer was worn by tragic actors. The shoe
makes quite feature in English history.
In the time of Richard I. says Stow, L" be-
gan the detestable use Of pikod shoos, the
toes being tied up to the knee with chains
of silver or guilt" Edward w., says the
same historian, ordained "that no man
weare shoes or boots having toes passing two
inches long; no peaks of boots or shoes to
pass that length on pain of cursing by the
clergic. ."-Home Journal.

TILE FIRST SAW.MILL.

The old practice in making boards was to
split up the logs with wedges; and incon-
venient as the practice was, it was no easy
thing to persuade the world that it could be
done in any better way. Saw-mills were
first used in Europe in the fifteenth century;
but so lately as 1855, an English ambassa-
dor, having seen saw-m;lin France, thought
it a novelty which deserved particular des-
cription. 1t is amusing to see how the aver
sion TO labor.saving machinery has always
asitated England. The first saw-mill was
established by a Dutchman, in 1868; but
the public outcry against the new-faDgled
machine was so violent, that the proprietor
was forced to decamp with more expedition
than ever did 4 Dutchman before. The
evil was thus kept out Of England for sew
cral years, or rather generations; but in
176S, an unlucky timber merchant, hoping
that after so long a time the public would
be less watchful of its own interests, made
a rash attempt to construct another mill
The guardians Of the public welfare, howev-
er, were on the alert, and conscientious
mob at once collected and pulled the mill
to pieces. Such patriotic spirit could not
always last, and now, though We have no.
where seen the fact distinctly stated, there Is
reason to believe that saw-mills are used in
ngland.-THiaaeIhia Le'lyar.

An ARTFuL MIsER.-Somc time ago, q
gentleman called upon certain nobleman,
in Paris, a very wealthy and inordinately
mean character, aud found him at the break
fast table, quite alone, and doing his utmost
to catch fly which was buzzing about the
room. "What the deuce are you about"'
demanded the astonished visitor, to whom
the spectacle of an old man amusing himself
by catching flies seemed very singular, to
say the least. Hush p' exclaimed the
other. "Tll tell you presently" After
many efforts, the old fellow at last succeed
ed in entrapping the fly. Taking the insect
carefully between his thumb and forehnger,
he put it into the sugar-bowl and quickly
dropped the lid over his prisoner. His visi-
tor, more annoyed than ever, knowing as he
did the avaricious character of the man be-
fore him, repeated the question. "Ill tell
you," replied the miser, triumphant grin
overspreading his countenance as he spoke.

Hot WATER FOR HOUSE PLANTS
correspondent of the Boston Cultivator, wri
ting Of tho management of house plants,
says: "Thc way to have healthy plants is
to shorten in all struggling growth, and re-
move every leaf and flower as soon as the
least symptom of decay spcrceivable, wash.
ing them occasionally with warm water from
the fine nose of watering-pot held high
above thom----thus giving them the benefit
of warm shower at any time or place. But
the thing of all others most important is, to
water them with hot water at all times; yes,
hot to the touch, even beyond what is sup.
posed to be prudent until after experiment
and it is only necessary to watch the re,
suit en- the health and yigor of the plants,
especially when in bloom, to be oaRVinced
of the virtue Of this grand specific. !" The
writer says he has fuchsias now in bloom,

one failing out of seven, or even more cut
tings, planted in a single pot and watered
with hot water--Bost. TranS.

Neutrality-suspicious. shows that the
same amount of manure which has been cov-
cred nine inches deep with earth, so that no
evaporation can escape, will produce four
bushels more wheat to the acre, than that
which has lain exposed to the weather.
Keeping manure covered, then, when wheat
is dollar and half a bushel, will add six
dollars to the value of the products of every
acre of land, growing wheat.
The above we have taken from the Carroll
ma Cultivator expressly for the benefit of our
farmer readers. What is said in relation to
wheat will hold good in corn. Try it.

THE CHINESE SUGAR MILLET.-An ag

THE CHINESE SUGAR MILLET.-An ag-
ricultural correspondent of the Scientific
American says he ground in cider mill,
and then pressed, about half bushel of the
canes of the sugar millet, which he suppos-
ed to be worthless from being touched with
the frost, and he obtained quart of excel
lent molasscs from the juice by evaporation,
He judges that the square rod of ground
planted-if the canes had all been used
would have produced four gallons of molas-
ses, or at the rate of six hundred and forty
gallons per acre. Such crop would have
proved valuable last year, since sugar and
molasses are so high.
