Skating with the girls.
The sleigh bells merrily jingling
upon the wintry air."

"Begone away dull care"
On the ice we meet the beauties,
"Bright eyes bea m like pearls;"
Oh, isn't it delightful,

What if you should grow dizzy,
And tall upon the ice,

The heart aches and hirtations,

For Crushing and Expressing the
Juice from Apples, Grapes, and
other Fruit, at enc and the same
OperQti0n
PTV1EE SUBSCRIBER HAS INVENT
N ed and patented Machine for crush
ing and expressing the. juice from Apples
and other fruit at single operation, there
by dispensing with screws, levers, presses,
and other cum bersome. machinery, and
saving all the time and labor necessary to
separate the juices from the fruit by the
old process. This important result is at
tanned by a novel arrangement of crushing
and pressing cylinders together in one
frame, entirely unlike any Machine ever
heretofore constructed for such q purpose,
and which must eventually SuPerSede and
do away with all known processes for ex-
tracing juices from fruit.

known for the purpose of crushing roots of
all kinds, for feeding stock, quicker, easier,
and better than any other Machine.
8th. That it expresses the juice from APP
pies or other fruit the moment they are
crushed, wherein lies the great secret OF
making good Cider or Wine.
9Th. That it does not grind or break the
seed of any kind of fruit; thereby doing
away with a great objection which is
urged against all otherMachin9s.

One pound, used as directed, will go as

1t cleanses clothes more quickly and

soft water. It will not injure the finest
fabrics. 1t will not chap the hands. 1t Is
an excellent securing soap for removing
spots and stains from silk and WOODEN

cold-water soap, it can be used to better
advantage with cold water than any OF the
so-called cold-water soaps. rs4tt
A fair trial will convince even the most
