The USE AND ABUSE OF ITALIc LETTERS
In good prose, (says a Learned WRITER
every word should Be Underlined; that is,
every word should he the right word. and
then no one would be nearer right than
another. Among literary men it has de-
scended into proverb that, the weaker the
brain the more il italicises. For the bene-
Git of correspondents we give the following
directiOns,-which experience and good
taste have made necessary Never under
line word or sentence if the meaning can
be eOmprehended.- and If it cannot. il is
better to change the construction of the SEN
..'r' 50 that it can; never italicise two en-
sl..--s in the same sentence, as IAN apology
was refused, and McCarty notified that he
would b. forced to fight. unless he proceeded
with the challenge" The italics would have
conveyed the meaning equally as well upon
refused" or forced" while they were not
necessary upon either 1t is customary and
proper to italicise all foreign, nd
provincial words

The Committee appointed by the State Blu,
reau of the Seventh Annual State Fair OF
Tennessee to examine, and make award for
the best Family Sewing Machine, find on ex-
hibition the following machines in competi-
ton the l. NJ. Singer, y lee..t & Wilson. A.
B. Howe, and the ttJVer i Baker. The first
three named although differing in cOnstruc-
ton and capacity, still so far as the stitch is
concerned, all arrive at the same point, max
ing what is called and known as the shuttle
stitch, each using a shuttle or shuttle and
bobbin, upon which all the lower thread, or
thread used underneath is required TO be re-
spoiled. The Shuttle Machine may be used
upon some classes of family sewing with a
degree of satisfaction, but we conceive from
their construction, operation and stitch, their
principal adaptation is to the purposes OF
manufacture. The points we conceive most
necessary and important TO meet the wide
range of requirements in machine for fami-
ly sewing, we find more fully combined in
the Grover & Baker-extent of capacity
simplicity of construction, ease of manage
ment, advantage of using thread from two
spools without rewinding; strength of work,
elasticity, dura biiity and regularity of stitch,
and quietness of movement. We therefore
make award to the Grover Baker.
