The Effects Of Machinery

-
This is a highly unitarian age
Machinery does almost every
thing for us nowadays. Th'
sewing machines even make on
coats and shirts. The washing
machine purifies them in th'
suds when they are dirty, anc
the mangle smooths them VI
nicely for us when the hot ali
furnace has made them dry
But here comes a boot and shoe
making machine into vogue
much to the chagrin of the cord
wainers and cobblers who have
hitherto had the entire care of
our "soles," and
Sometimes healed their poverty by tht
heeling of SHOE"
Here comes the insensate mass
of wax, needles, thread, wood
and spring-works, to swallow
''uppers" and "welts," to gor-
mandize on calf-skin, pegs, and
good tanned Sides" and dis
gorge at leisure Wellingtons
and Butchers, pumps, high-lows,
CATERS, slippers, sandals, and
whatever else the genius of the
time may think proper to
fashion into coarse or dainty
coverings for gigantic or Lii
putian toes. The idea is feet-id!
What will the individuals do,
thus crowded by foodless COM
petition out of a market where
beef is ten cents per pound, flour
ten dollars per barrel, and the
human stomach as erigedmt as
though both were begging for
gratuitous customers? Women
and children will effect on these
machines the work of many a
stalwart man. There will be a
new avenue opened to industry
for them, poor things! Boots
and shoes will descend, too, in
the scale of luxuries, so that all,
however humble, may enjoy
more readily one more of the
comforts of civilised existence.
Thus again will be demonstra-
ted the great social truth that
many private injuries go to
make up one public good. But,
while felicitating ourselves up
on the general advantage of
these machines, let us not for
get to compassionate the suffer-
ings of those who, until some
new form of employment be-
comes familiar to them, will be
compelled to sustain the bur-
then of the change.

H Now is the time that
newspapers are thoroughly read,
and now is the time to adver-
tise. Prepare for the fall trade
by giving timely notice of what
you have to sell. There are
many shrewd devices in adverti-
sing, but the safest way, and
one that's certain to pay in the
end, ispersistence-the constant
keeping of your business before
the public eye. There is no
man that better understands
this than Barnum. In one wav
or another he maintains him.

Another Warning.

Through the kindness of Mr.
n agile, our industrious life in.
surance agent, we have obtain.
ed the particulars of one of
those frightful deaths which &C.
cur so frequently from The out
rageOus habit of kindling fire
In stoves by the careless use of
coal oil. On the 9th inst, Miss
Rebecca, daughter of Ira Keller,
aged about Is years, residing
in Reynolds, White county, Ind,
attempted to hurry up a fire by
pouring coal oil from a can up
on flames already kindled. Of
course, they instantly commune
Gated with the oil remaining in
the can, causing a terrible ex-
plosion and enveloping the
thoughtless girl in a sheet of
fire. She ran out of the house
calling for her mother, who was
at a neighbours, but before as
Isistance arrived she was burned
to a crisp. This occurred about
4 o'clock, P. NJ, and she died
from her injuries about12 o'clock
of the same night, despite the
medical aid and every effort in
her behalf. Let this be a sad
warning to all.
The above we copy from the
Local Topic, published at Fran
cesville, Indiana. We do so as
a warning. We just a few days
ago learned Of a woman who al
ways kindles her fires in this
way, and whilst talking upon
the subject another admitted
doing the same thing. We
have no language sufficiently
strong to express a proper con-
demnation of such a course,
which is mostly practised by
persons who never read a news
paper,and are therefore not aware
of the many lives continually
lost by the use Of coal oil in
kindling fires.

~ Taxpayers will do we'll
to remember that if they fail to
pay their taxes within ninety
days after the Collector shall visit
their respective districts, the law
adds penalty Of ten per cent,

the duty of the Collector to pro

and penalty through the courts
Should property be distrained for
tax an additional penalty of twelve
per cent. is added, making twenty.
two per cent. in all. 1t is a mat
ter of great interest, then, to all
our people, that they should right
ly understand this matter and be

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and lit is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptiOns
and dandruf and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal yigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and l consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.
