A Buttonhole, 0verseaming and
Complete Sewing Machine
in One

WE request the Ladies. and all others want
ing perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from
personal examination, this superior and excel
lent Machine. 1t is no e1aggeration to say
that it will execute greater variety of sewing,
with fewer attachments and less labor, than
any Machine in the world. 1t is a decided i'm
proyement on the older Machines in market;
and the superior skill, workmanship and ma
terials employed in its construction are guar
antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and
enable the Company and its Agents to WAR
RANT EVERY MACHINE THEY SELL TO GIVE
ENTIRE SATISFACTION.
1t is comparatively noiseless, and runs with
such ease that the most delicate female can
operate it all day without fatigue. Philadel-
phia weekly, speaking Of this Machine, says
SIN New England, the home of the Sewing
Machine, the American Buttonhole Machine
is without rival. Because it will do every
thing that any Machine can do, sewing from
the finest to the coarsest material, hemming,
telling, cording, braidine, binding, gathering
and sewing on at the same time, quilting, etc.,
better than any other Macine. 2. Because the
tensions are more easily adjusted. 8. Because
it can work beautiful b1ttonhole, making as
fine pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will
embroider over the edge, making neat and
beautiful border on any garment S. Because
it will work beautiful eyelet hole. 6. Be-
cause it can do overland scanning, by which
sheets, pillow cases and the like are sewed
over and over 7. Because you can quickly
raise and lower the feed to adapt it to thick or
thin cloth. g. Because you have short, deep
bobbin, by which the thread is constantly
drawn from the centre, the tension is conse-
quently even. 8. Because the presser-foot
turns back, that the cloth may be easily re-
moved after being sewed. Because it is two
Machines in. one, and has no springs to break,
and nothing to get out of order"
We take the liberty of referring to the fol-
lowing ladies, citizens of Anderson and vicin-
ity, who have tested our Machines. The tes-
timony of these ladies is certainly a f1atter-

CURIosIT1Es OF ANIMAL LIFE.-'Ihere can
be no doubt" writes Mr.. Darwin, "that dogs
feel shame as distinct from fear, and something
very like modesty, when begging too often for
food. A great dog scorns the snarling OF a
little dog, and this may be called magnanimity.
Several observers have stated that monkeys
certainly dislike being laughed at and they
sometimes invent imaginary ofenses. In the
geological gardens I saw baboon that always
got into furious rage when his keeper took
out letter or book and read it aloud to him,
and his rage was so violent that as witnessed
on one occasion, he bit his own leg till the
blood flowed" All animals feel wonder; and
many exhibit curiosity, the latter quality af-
fording. opportunity for hunters, in many parts
of the world, to decoy the game into thelr
power. The faculty of imitation Sc, strongly
developed in man, especially in barba!ous
state, is present in monkeys. A certain bull
terrier of our acquaintance, when he wishes to
90 out of the room, jumps at the handle OF the
door and grasps it with his paws, although he
cannot turn the handle. Parrots also repro
duce with wonderful fidelity the tones of diff
ferent speakers, and puppies reared by cats
have been known to lick their feet and wash
their faces after the manner of their foster
mothers. Attention and memory also are pres
ent in the lower animals, and it is impossible
to deny that the dreams of dogs and horses
SHOW the presence of imagination, or certain
sort of reason is also present Animals also
profit by experience, as any man realizes who
sets traps. The young are much more easily
caught than the old, and the adults gain eau
ton by seeing the fate of those which are
caught. Tools also are used by some of the
higher apes. The chimpanzee uses stone to
crack nut resembling walnut, and the Ably
sinian balloons fight troops of another species,
and roll down stones in the attack before they
finally close in hand-to- hand encounter. The
idea of property is common also to every dog
with bone to all birds with their nests, and
most notably in the case of rocks. Nor can q
certain kind of language be denied to the
brute. The dog communicates his feelings by
barks of different tones, which undoubtedly
raise in his fellow dogs ideas similar to those
passing in his own mind.-Edinburgh Revie'c

Ammonia, or, as it is generally
called, spirits of hartshorn, is a
powerful alkali, and dissolves grease
and dirt with great ease. It has
been recommended very highly for
domestic purposes For washing
paint, put teaspoonful In a quart
of moderately hot water, dip IN a
flannel cloth and then wipe off the
woodwork; no scrubbing will be
necessary. For taking grease spots
from any fabric use the ammonia
nearly pure, then lay white b1ottiDg-
paper over the spot, then iron it
lightly. In washing lace, put about
twelve drops in a pint of warm suds.
To clean silver, mix two teaspoon
fuls of ammonia in a quart of hot
suds. Put in your silverware and
wash, using an old na;l-brush or
brush for the purpose. For
cleaning hair-5rushes, ETC., simply
shake the brushes. up and down in
mixture of tablespoonful of am
monia to one pint of hot water;
when they are clean rinse them IN
cold water, and stand them in the
wind or in hot place to dry. For
washing finger marks from looking
glasses or windows, put few drops
of ammonia on a moist rag and
make quick work of it. If YOU
wish your house plants to flourish
put few drops of the spirits in
every pint of water used in water
ing. A teaspoonful will add much
to the refreshing effects of the bath.
Nothing is better than ammonia
for cleansing the hair. In every
case rinse off the ammonia with
clear water. TO which we would
only add, that, for removing grease
spots, a mixture of equal parts oil
ammonia and alcohol is better than
alcohol alone; and for taking out
the red stains produced by the
strong acids in blue and black
cloths, there is nothing better than
ammonia.

New England,s Grain Product.

OF the six States east of the HID
son, Vermont comes nearest to rails
ing its own bread, producing 453. 600
bushels of wheat IN 1869, or about q
bushel and a peck to each iahabi-
tant. Taking the army rations OF
80 ounces per day as a basis for com
putting the consumption OF bread,
it follows that Vermont raises bread
enough to supply the people of the
State thirty seven days, and that tc
make up the deficiency they are
obliged to purchase 3,S36,0O0 bush
els per annum. Maine makes the
next best showing in the cultivation
of wheat, producing IN 1850 Pts
900 bushels, sufficient to last eleven
days, aud purchasing $500 000bush-
els. New Hampshire, with a de
creasing population, was a Griie be
hind Maine, producing 1913, 600 bush
els-a little more than a half bushel
to each inhabitant-and purchasing
4,2G0,0 900 bushels, or ten days sup
ply. Connecticut makes a poorer
showing than New Hampshire, pro-
ducing $4,000 bushels-enough to
supply the people with bread for ten
days-and purchasing 100000
bushels. Massachusetts,, though
having a larger area than Connect

ground to powder, was sufficient to

Won Baeks md BAD Seats.

The small of the back is the weak
or strong point of every person. 1t
is the center Of voluntary motion.
Nearly three hundred muscles arc
directly or indirectly connected with
the motions Of which the small of
the back is tho pivotal centre.
Hence, while those who are strong,
and whose muscular systems are
we'll balanced, know nothing of
spinal weakness or vertebral distor-
ton, invalids are forever complain
ing of this part of the body.
One very prominent cause Of weak
backs and crooked spines. is the IN
hygienic and unauthorized seats
and benches of our school-houses,
churches and halls nor are the
seats and benches provided on our
steamboats,, railroad cars, or at sta
tions or at ferry-houses any better.
1t is impossible for any person to
occupy these seats long a. II time
without being forced ont of shape.
And when school children are con-
fined to them for several hours a
day, for months and years, their
backs will inevitably be more or less
weakened, with corresponding de-
formity of body, for life.
If we go into private families,
even into the palaces of the opulent,
we find the seats made moro for a
show than for use. Girls suffer much
moro by using such seats than boys,
for the reason that boys arc taught
to run, jump and exercise themselves
all over and all through, while girls
arc expected to keep still and be
pretty.
1t is certainly one of the strange
problems of the nineteenth century
that no parent, teacher. or mcchan-
ie will give any attention TO anato-
my orphysiology in the construction
of seats for the human body. Must
our chairs and sofas, and settces
and divans, and tete-a-tetos, and
pews forever be dictated by fashion
and never conformed to nature
Must our tortured bodies forever be
compelled to shape themselves to
the seats instead of the seats being
adapted to our bodies? Go through
all tho great chair-factories of the
country, and you will not find sin.

No Such Word as Fail.

One of the finest passages in Bull
wcr's play of Richilieu, is the fol-
lowing:

stars rain fortune on you"
FrancescO-"I l fail"
Richilieu-" Fail fill! In the
bright lexicon-of youth, which fate
reserves for a glorious manhood,
there is no such word as fail -
And why should young man fail ?
If he be honest, if he be honorable,
if he be ardent, if he be energetic,
if he be gifted with moderate intel
iectud power, if he be right in
heart and strong in virtue, he viii

Wrought Iron Ties.

The rapidity with which wooden
ties are destroyed in India by the
action Of the climate and white ants,
has induced railroad men in Eng
land to look for material which will
prove more durable in tropical eli
mates. This has led to the inven-
ton of an iron tie, which is described
in the following language:
The new sleeper is made up of a
number of webs and plates of rolled
iron, riveted together, and pierced
with bolt holes for the chairs. This
is estimated to save about two-tLirds
of the labor of laying, and leaves bat
little work to be done by native or
other labor. The direct cost is found
to be not moro than one shilling
each above that of the best wooden
sleeper, and they are calculated to
last ten times as long In tropical
countries, and three times as long In
Europe. Many eminent engineers
and railway constructors, who have
examined these sleepers, express
great confidence in their superior
adaptation.

A Continent 81 Tee.

It seems incredible that the Uni
ted States formerly had,an arctic eli
mate, and was covered with ice
many thousand feet in thickness +;
but such is the united testimony of
biologists:
Prof Agassiz comes to the con-
clusion that the continent of North
America was once covered in ice q
mile in thickness, thereby agreeing
with Prof. Hitchcock and other en-
inent geological writer's concerning
the GLACIAL period.
In proof of this conclusion he saws
that the slopes of the Allegheny
range of mountains are glacier-worn
TO the very top, except few points
which were about level of the city
mass. Mount Washington, for in
stance, Is over six thousand feet
high, and the rough, unpublished sur
lace of its summit, covered with frag-
ments, lust below the level of which
glacier marks como to an end, tells
that it lifted its head alone above
the desolate waste Of ice and snow.
In this region, then, the thickness
of the ice cannot have been much
less than six thousand feet, and this
in keeping with the same kind OF
evidence in other parts of the coun-
try; for when the mountains are
much below six thousand feet, the
ice seems to have passed directly
over them. while the few peaks ris-
ing to that height arc lett untouch-
ed. The glacier, he argues, was
Gods great pillow, and when the ice
vanished from the face Of the land il
left it prepared for the hand of the
hUsbandman.
The hard surface Of the rocks
was ground to powder, and the ele-
ments of the soil were mingled in
fair proportions granite was car
riod into lime regions, lime was
mingled with the more arid unpro-
ductive granite districts, and soil
was prepared for the agricultural
uses of man.
There are evidences all over the
polar regions to show that one pc
Rod the heat Of the tropics extended
ali over the globe. The ice period
is supposed to be long subsequent
to this, and next to the latter before
the advent of man..
