Fairbanks Scales.-It is a significant
fact, which the public will appreciate, that
whenever new scales are put upon the market,
as large numbers have been from time to time
during the last thirty years it seems TO be the
first and chief aim of the makers to show that
they are the SINE as Fairbanks or like them,
are improvements uFon them, or have ia
ken premiums over them, thus recognizing tie
latter as the standard for excellence, and show
ing the strong hold they have upon the public
confidence. 1t IS a well known fact that
willie mes. of these scales have, after more or
less trial, passed mainly out OF use, Fair
banks have gone steadily forward. increasing
in public favor year after year, and are now
much more generally used than all others, not
only in this country. but wherever American
commerce las been carried. This could rot
be so If they were not all that is claimed For

convenience and accuracy Chicago Tri6"ne.

'a GorNG TO HELP UNCLE SAM FIRST In
one of the companies of the Eighth Wiscos-
sin Regiment was young man, under age,
who enlisted without his fathers consent,
and contrary to his wishes. The father. 3
farmer, residing in the North Western part
of the State, wrote several letters to his son.
while the regiment were in quarters at
Camp Randall. for the purpose of persuad-
ing him to return. At last he wrote him
that he must come-tbat he had q, large
amount of threshing to do-that he could
not afford to hire help, if it were TO be bad.
which was hardly possible, owing TO the
number of enlistments-and that he must
return home and help him. even if he enlis-
ted again afterwards. 1 ~
The young man replied:
"Dear Father II can't go home at
present. Ishould be very glad to help you,
but Uncle Sam has got a id sight bigger
