Suited to q L.

"How did your wristbands suit you,
Frank? ?" said Fannie Grey to her brother
Frank, young man just home in his first
college vacation. II stitched them every
bit myself, on the machine. Were they
NICE? Did they fits"
"They were splendid, Fan. told the
fellows they were done by an old lady Of
seven years. Fit9 I guess they did. Fit

And Frank Gordon pulled his coat
sleeve up little and showed the shining
linen, fitting his shapely wrist, much to
his little sisters admiration.

after, may ask you something:"
"Of course you may. little one; III an
swer if can" And Frank clasped his
hands over his head, tilted back his chair,
and put his feet upon the table, and looked

But aloud she said, "What do you mean

and want to-"
"Whew!" whistled the young man."
"What do mean, sure enough! Well, I
mean suited exactly, fitted perfectly, l sup

"Yes," said the little girl in disap-
pointed tone; II know that; but I
thought, perhaps, it came from something.
I don't see the sense of it, I'm sure. Suit

"Well, guess it did. pet" said Frank.
!" I'll look it up for you, sometime"
"He'll never think of it again" said
Fanny to herself, "but do wish knew,
Suited to a r. It is SO funny"
The next day Frank came in with
strange sort of ruler in his land. 1t had
a cross piece at one end which gave it the
shape Of capital T.:
"See here, Fanny" said he, "Tve been
to the carpenters shop in your behalf:

So Frank placed the cross piece against
q perpendicular line which he had drawn,
and laid the arm along horizontal line
that formed the right angle.
"You see," said he, "this ruler is called
T square, and is often used to test the
accuracy of lines and angles, as have

him tight, to the great damage of his flow

Frank looked as wise as an owl, but he

THE LESSON OF THE BRIARS.

"Charley! Charley" called Ella TO her
younger brother; "dont 60 near those
briars; come over here in the gardenF
Ho! stay in the garden! who wants to
stay in the garden" answered master
you think m girl to want to play where
"That's not it, Charley, but you know
we both have on our good clothes, and we
must be ready to run quick when we hear
the carriage drive up to the gate with
Aunt May and cousin Harry and Alice. ;"
IL know that as well as you do" said
Charley, pushing his way through the
hedge as he spoke. "Girls aint good for
anything but to sit and sew. mean to
have some fun. mean to e."
Ella felt like giving some angry answer,
but she checked herself and went On with
her sewing AZ she sat under the big tree,
wondering what made Charley break of
his sentence 80 suddenly.
"El-la, El-la!' cried q pitiful voice at
last "come help me! I'm getting all torn.
O-o!"
Sure enough, Charley ,oas getting all
torn: some biz thorns had caught his new
trousers and the harder he struggled the
worse matters became.
"Hold still, DEAR" said Mary. ~ cant
help You while you kick 80. Therel now
you're free. Oh! Charley"
Charley, clapping his hand to his trou-
sers, knew we'll enough what this OhT
meant. It meant great big tear in his
new clothes, two cousins coming to spend
the day, and q poor little boy sobbing in
the nursery until the nurse would stop
scolding and make him fit to 60 down and
see the company. The very thought OF all
this misery made him cry.
"Oh! they'll be here in minutel boo
hoor' he sobbed; What shall | doi"
"Why, stand still, that's all" said Ella,
hastily threading her needle with a long
black thread; stand just 30, dear, till 1
mend it."
"Mend it" cried master Charles, de-
lighted. 60, Ellsl wa you?"~s
gently, at the same time beginning to draw
the edges of the tear together; you know

II think you did, Charley"
"Not eractly that, I guess. 1t was awful
mean, if did. Oh! hurry I hear the
carriage"
"Do be quiet, you little wngglerp'
laughed his sister, hastily finishing the
work as we'll as she could, 90 that Charley
in moment looked quite fine. again.
"There! we'll get to the gate before they
turn into the lane, after ALL"
Charley held Elias hand more tightly
than usual as they ran toward the gate
together. Ella noticed it, and stopped to
kiss him.
"rm sorry spoke co." he painted, kiss
ing her again right heartily. "Does it
show?"
"Not a bit; you wouldn't know any
thing had happened. Hurrah! here they
are! u
"Hurrah! Howdy dor" screamed

Waken from your listless languor.

Tie Fence Question Discussed.

John w. Niman, Spring Mills.
Ohio, says: | have tried hedging
and seen ditching enough to satisfy
me there is a cheaper and better way.
Even at the present time fencing is
too expensive To be followed any
longer. From boy up have given
this subject considerable attention.

entirely too great. 1t requires about
$4,000 rails and stakes, built in fence,
art an approximate cost of So 900 -
Then the interest per year, $500, with
the land occupied with this fence,
not less than 10 acres, ut SIS per acre,
with interest Oh same, making $S25
making sum total of "a l25. Add
TO this $50 per year for repairs. Now,
this Is too expensive. Nor is this all
The fence rows are harbUrs where
briars, elders, aud weeds will ripen
and spread over the rest Of the farm.
There are two ways more economi-
cal. The first il TO fence in your
stock, instead Of out. and let the
farming and timber land lay to tile
commons, then the land would be
free from incumbrance, and conse-
quently more convenient to work.
BY marking the boundary lines OF
roads. every farmer might have
enough more land to work, by COM
ing to the boundary of the road, to
produce enough TO pay his tax, where
he Is now paying tax on land that he
has little or DO use OF. When ii be,
comes necessary to change pasture
ground, two good men and team can
remove the fence OF ten acres in five
or six days. This will not be re.
. 4uired but once in two or three years.
The question may be asked, bow can
we pasture other grounds after har-
vest? This is an important question,
and should be more carefully coBsid-

liee, and doing gtcat injury to the

10 herd the stock. Tie interest of
the money to keep up fencing, to
say nothing about the many other
advantages, is sufficient to hire a
shepherd. This is an important sub
iact, and receiving attention by many
thinking iand-holders. ". Y. Jri.

The extensive use Of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmsn, the most exact
ing of watch-wearers, kas thoroughly de-
monostrated the strength, steadiness, dura-
biity and accuracy Of the Waltham Watch
To satisfy that class in al these respects. is te
decide the question as 10 the real vsIus Of
these time keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets
of the people-a proof and guarantee Of
their superiority over all others.
TIE superior erg imitation and great extent
of the Company's Works at WalIhan, enables
them to produce watches at q price which
buy any other watch merely pay from 25 to
so per cent more for their watches than is
necessary.
These tine-pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had tLs refusal
of nearly every invention in watch making
originating in this country or in Europe.
only those were finally adopted which severe
testing by the most skilful artisans in our
works, and long use on the part Of the public
demonstrated 10 be essential to correct aud
enduring time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of centre pinion
Of peculiar construction, to prevent damag
to the train by the breakage of main-springs,
is original with the American Watch Com
pany, who. having had the refusal of all 9TH
er contrivances. adopted Fogy's patent piu-
ion as being the best and faulrless.
Hardened and tempered hal -iprings, now
Universally admitted by Wstebmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of waliham
Watches.
All wahham Watches have dust proof
caps. protecting the movement from dust,
and le..ening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless
watch is already n decided success, and a
great improvement on any STEM winding
watch in the American market. and by far
the cheapest watch Of its quality now oferen
to the public. To those living in portions of
the United States where watchmskers do
not abound watches with the above mention
ed improvements which tend te ensure ac-
curacy, cleanliness. durability and convent
ence, must prove invaluable.

by the Company are as follows:

VINO Has LosT 4 LITTLE GIRL Last
summer a party of Gipsies consisting OF
two men, two women and girl about
eleven years of age, passed through the
village of Belmore. Crawford county,
going west. Shortly after passing
through the place. man engaged in haul
ing logs came across little girl. aged
about four years. who had been left in
the road about mile east Of the village,
on the route which the Gipsies had just
passed over. The man who was hauling
logs picked up the child and took it to
his home. The little child could give
no account of itself, and has never yet
conveyed an idea who its parents are
The general impression is that the child
did not belong to the Gipsies, and that
they stole it from some family, and be-
coming tired of it they left it in the road
as above stated.
There may be somewhere a mourning
father and mother, whom the publication
of this item may lead to the recovery OF
their lost child. Will our exchanges
give it circulation as widely as possible !!
