TIE ART OF GRINDING TOOIS.-Mor
than half of all the wear and tear and
breakagc and bother of dull tools comes
from a lack of proper knowledge and
practice in grinding. All steel, how
ever highly refined, is composed of indi-
yidnal fibres laid lengthwise in the bar,
held firmly together by cohesion; and
and in almost all farm implements of
the cutting kind, thes portion which
forms the edge, if from selection of q
bar, is laid in and welded to the iron
longitudinally, so that is the side of the
bundle of fibres, hammered and ground
down, that forms the edge. Hence by
holding on the grindstone all edged
fools, such as axes, drawing knives,
reaper-sickles, knives of straw cutters,
ETC., in such a manner that the action of
the stone is at right angles with the
plane of the edge, or, in palmer words,
by holding the. edge of the tools square
across the stone, the direction of fibres
will be changing in this SO as to present
the ends instead of the side as a cutting
edge; by grinding in this manner
finer, smoother edge is set, the tool is
ground ia less time, hold an edge a great
! deal longer, and is far less liable "to
nick OUT and break.

rAids to dsPpy Homes.
No home is likely to be the secure
abode Of happiness where the wife cam
not cook meal, patch. q garment, cut
out = dress, or supervise these operations
with. . knowledge Of how they ought to
be done. These are the very essentials
In which the training OF the young
women of America is neglected. It Is
only when the drudgery Of housekeeping
finds them incompetent to Its necessary
tasks that they wake up to the delusion
fostered by false education. Then it is
that waste creeps in at every crevice,
because they possess no knowledge of
how to keep it out. In spite of hard
thinking and inexperienced tinkering,
expenditure continues to equal or exceed
income. With the increase of family,
troubles multiply. Health breaks down
rromaturely under perplexities and
anxieties that cannot be excluded nor
controlled. Indifference grows up be-
tween man and wife. The household,
that should have been well-spring of
comfort and contentment, becomes den
of heartburnings and contentious
Sometimes agreed separation or open
divorce lifts the veil that hides domestic
