SOUND DOCTRINE. On the 7th inst.
the Democratic State Convention of
Minnesota adopted the following as its
sentiments. The ideas are expressed
concisely and are to the point:
That the adoption of the Fourteenth,
Fifteenth and Sixteenth Amendments to
the Federal Constitution closed great
era in our politics, and marked the end
forever of human slavery, and of the
struggles that grew out OF that system.
That as these Amendments have been
accepted in good faith by all political or
CARNATIONS and the people of all Sec
lious, hereafter al! parties must stand
upon them, and our politics must turn
upon questions of the present and
future, and not upon those of the set
| tied and past. That the National Gov
eminent is Government of limited IN
delegated powers, supreme within its
sphere, while the great bulk of the rights
Of the people must find their safeguards
in tie States and in the people them
selves. That we are opposed to all at
tempts to limit the freedom of the press.
We favor return to gold and silver az a
OASIS OF the currency VI tuo Country,
with the preparation of effective meas.
ures to secure the resumption of specie
payments. That all corporations char
tered or recognized by the State should
be ut all times supervisable by the State,
in the interests and for the protection of
the people against unjust discrimination
and extortionate demands.
The Sun has ciphered out the exact
amount that Grant has sacrificed by
giving up his position Of General for that
Of President. 1t finds that eight years
salary in the former Office would have
given him $108,000, while his eight
years salary as President, exclusive OF
perquistes, will come to $500. 900. SO
that it would have taken till 1891 to draw
as much money on the army payroll as
, he has drawn on the civil list. When
we add about $40, 0O0 for household ex,
penses and such. not to mention railroad
! passes and presents. it does seem al

A Vicious Horse Cured by Kindness.

AT recent meeting of the Farmers
Club of the American Institute in New
York city letter from President Ely
was read, as follows:
/ have received a communication con-
tanning story about a horse which ]
think ought to be read and published in
the report of the club meetings: "a
horse in Pennington, formerly driven in
meat cart, was bought by its present
owner at very low price, because re-
puted vicious. He would bite, rear,
kick, run away; was utterly uncontrol-
liable. Soon after changing masters the
people who had called the purchase q
foolish one were surprised at the differ
ence in the horses conduct. He would
go fast or slow as desired; stop instantly
at sWhoap follow his master, come at
his call and rub his head on his shoulder.
What had made the change? Not force /;
the poor horse had been beaten, kicked
and starved before, and grown more and
more stubborn. No; he was well fed,
well bedded, well watered; not over
driven or overloaded; never whipped,
kicked OF. scolded. Kind words were
given him, and now and then an apple
or lump of sugar. No gentler, safer,
more faithful horse went ON the road.
But, Indian fashion, he forgot neither
benefit nor injury. Occasionally, when
in harness, he saw his former master.
Then, invariably, all the fire of his ma
ture was aroused. His eye rolled, he
champed his bit and showed an intense
desire to get hold of his enemy. Only
the voice and caressing hand of his kind
new owner could quiet him. What a
power is kindness-the power that even
the Almighty loves best to user'

MispronunciatiOn.

1t Is possible that some one who reads
the title of this article may find himself
guilty Of failing to pronounce CT like h
in shun. find that my lady friend, who
is very precise in her language, will per
sist in accenting etiquette on the first, in
stead of the last syllable. My good min.
lister, who has the greatest aversion to
anything wrong, was greatly surprised
when mildly suggested to him that as
while my musical niece mortified me the
other evening by pronouncing finale in two
syllables. Iheard my geological friend
the other day explaining the su5sidences of
the earth's crust, but he should have ac-
cented the second instead of the first syl-
liable. The same mistake happened the
other day to my friend, the President of
the Reform Society, who spoke of the ra-
carries of certain people by acccnting the
first instead of the second syllable. He
also announced that would deliver an
address that evening, but knew it was
not polite to tell him to accent the last syl-
liable. My boy says that he left school at
recess, accenting the first syllable, and he
was 10th to believe that, whatever the
meaning of the word, it should be ac-
cented on the final syllable. Then my
friend, the President of the Debating
Club, who is great student of" Cushing's
Manual" tells us that motion to adjourn
takes the precedence by accenting the first
instead Of the second syllable. My other
lady friend says that she lives in house
having a cupdLop. She should consult the
dictionary for that word. But ! will close
by remarking that my legal friend, who is
very scholarly, always accents coddjutor
on the second instead of the third, where
the accent rightfully belongs.-Nep En-

The Care of Farm Machinery.

We have heard competent machinists
say that fully one-quarter of the value of
machinery was lost by fai, ure to keep
the bearing surfaces well oiled. Our OBJ
servation is, that farmers, as a rule, use
too much oil on the bearings of farm
machinery, and to the detriment of the
bearings. They put ON large quantities
of oil, but not sufficiently often.
The use and value of oil are to keep
the surfaces apart, SO they may not
grind, and TO furnish a medium upon
which they may slide or roll upon each
other with the least possible friction.
To do this properly judgment must be
used. If too much oil be given, the sur
plus Immediately runs away and is lost ;
if not enough is given, the bearings run
and wear upon each other and are soon
destroyed, or rendered SO loose as to be-
come comparatively worthless. So the
first thing to be considered is the exact
quantity of oil to properly lubricate the
surfaces without waste and the time in
which the oil will be worn away, which
will be in proportion to the swiftness of
the motion.
According to experiments in France
the friction of wooden surfaces rubbing
on wood amounted to from one-quarter to
one-half of the force employed. The
friction of metal on wood was something
less; while the friction of metal on metal
surfaces was from one-fifth to one
seventh. Lard, applied to wood on
wood, reduced the friction from one
tenth to one-twenty- eighth of the power
required to move the surfaces dry; and
on metal running upon metal the fric-
ton was reduced to one-half of what it
was before.
One of the best substances for lubricat-
ing cast-iron running upon cast-iron that
we have ever used is oil or lard and
black lead-plumbago. The best lubri-
Gator for wroughtiron axles and the
fast-running bearings of machinery is
pure oil entirely freed from all gummy
substances.
If machinery could be kept entirely
free from dust and other grit the bear
ings and journals would last indefinitely,
This is, however, impossible to do per.
fectly; but by keeping the boxes through
which journals are oiled carefully COW
cred, and by occasionally wiping such
parts as may be got at when oiling,
great waste of power may be saved, and
the value and usefulness of machinery
prolonged. A case in point will suffice
for all.
Good wagoners always wipe the axles
OF their wagons before they re-oll them !;
very few, however, wipe the boxes; and
yet the one is as essential as the other,
and one is as easily done as the other
How? Shave spindle to fit the hole
through the hub. Cover it with a piece
OF cloth, and, twisting it within the hub,
it is easily cleaned. This will keep your
wheels true for long time and save

A singular suit for breach of promise
has Just been concluded in Baltimore, the
details of which reveal a curious custom
existing among the Polish Hebrews. The
suit was brought by Hebrew lass named
Yefta Manschewitz against Isaac Margloss,
also . Hebrew, 10000 damages being
claimed by the plaintiff. The alleged en-
.gagement was by means of symbolical
betrothal, each taking hold of the ends Of
handkerchief and pulling it, the signifi-
cation being that the parties are held or
bound 70 each other, and sometimes,
though not always, the woSas: I'VE are
bound,' or . similar phrase, are pro-
nounced. A number of witnesses testified
that such q custom of betrothal existed
among orthodox Polish Hebrews, though
NOT among German Hebrews. 1t was
proven that this ceremony was performed
between the plaintiff and defendant, that
the defendant went to the house where she
lived, taking with him his sister, and
after an hour of conversation with each
other they went through the form of hand
kerchiefp pulling in the presence of several
persons. The young woman did not testi-
~, the Maryland law excluding the par.
ties as witnesses in such case. They
were both present, however. and appeared
TO be greatly concerned about the testi-
mony. The Judge instructed the jury
among the Polish Hebrews, and If that
the contract of marriage need not be
proved by express words, but may be
shown by acts, by frequent visits and at
tentions intended by the parties for an en-
gagement- The jury was somewhat puz-
lied, but they finally disposed of the case
by finding verdict of one cent for the
aggrieved lass.

Thirst at Sea.

Thirst on land is bad enough, but thirst
at sea, with water everywhere, but not a
drop to drink, is ten times worse. of the
agony which it occasions we may form
some conception when we read, as in the
case of late shipwreck, of the survivors
of a boats crew greedily drinking the blood
of their dead comrades. No one knows
what his evil fortune may one day bring
him to endure. For the benefit of the
reader, therefore, we make note of the
following question put by the Board of
Trade Examiners to the candidates for
certificates of competency as mates in the
English merchant service: "What would
you do in order to allay thirst, with MOTH
ing but sea water at hand p The answer
is: Keep the clothes, especially the shirt,
soaked with sea water.'' Drinking salt
water to allay thirst drives the sufferer
mad; but an external application of it
gives relief, If it does not satisfy the de
mands of craving nature. 1t is a pity that
this simple yet truly scientific remedy is
known to but few of those who tempt the
treacherous main.

Exploration In Africa.

While Great Britain is sending out an
expedition in hopeless search for the north
pole, q small party of French scientists are
preparing, with the aid of the French
Government, for an excursion into the un-
explored regions of Africa, that land of
the negro and the Niger, the gorilla and
the Gaboon. East of the coast and be-
tween the mouths of the rivers we have
named is large region which has been
but partially penetrated by the white man,
and offers to adventures all the attractions
which an unknown country has for per-
sons of q rowing disposition. Lying un-
der the equator, the coast is almost unin-
habitable because of the mlasma which
arises from the low lands, but the interior
is known to be the abode of savage and
hardy race of cannibals, to whom stew
of Frenchman would be much more pal
atable than q French stew. Du Chaillu
has made the acquaintance of the gorilla
of this region, but never attempted to go
into the interior as is the intention of the
party now preparing for the expedition.
This party is headed by four Frenchmen,
who will start upon their perilous tramp
from . French commercial settlement on
the coast. They have arranged for
bakers dozen of native sailors, who will
accompany them up the Okamba River in
q steamer - far as the stream may be
navigablc, and row them thence through
the country of the Fan to the bOr-
der of the land occupied by the Oky-
embos, tribe which stopped former ex-
petition in the same direction, though it
cost them a number of lives. The French
men hope to make peace with the natives
by giving them abundantly of those gaudy
nOthings in glass and tinsel which, far
more than music, have charms to soothe
the savage breast. If presents will not
avail force will be used, and the scientists
have hit upon the expedient, comical
enough to tine white man, of infusing a
feeling of awe and terror among the SUI
perstitious savages. One of the party has
arranged to carry concealed about his per-
son o compact electrical machine which,
operated at the will of the wearcr, will
throw flashes from grotesque ornament
worn on the head, or will shock the saw
age who, at some parlcy preliminary to
battle, extends the right, or, for that mat
ter, the left, hand of Fellowship. In such
case q little learning is far from being
dangerous thing. The ruse recalls to
mind that practiced by Columbus, whose
knowledge of astronomy enabled him to
foretell the coming of lunar eclipse, and
SO practice, with the happiest results, upon
the superstitious credulities of the natives.
The intention of the explorers is to push
ON, il possible, to the sources of the Nile.
To do SO they will necessarily pass through
the country Of the Manguemas, who, like
the Okyembos, delight to banquet on hui
man flesh. If the expedition be success
full it will contribute largely to geographic
cal science, for which SO much has been
dared during the last quarter of a century,
especially in Africa.-Chtcdgo Times.

Altar Of Roses.

The following account of the sources
and preparation of the perfume known as
Altar of Roses is gathered from recent
work on plant products, the Pharmaco-
graphia of Fluckiger and Hamburg. IL
was unknown to the Greeks and Romans.
The Rose-on of Dioscorides was a fatty
oil. perhaps Oil of olives, in which roses
had been stepped. The first knowledge We
have of the distillation of roses came from
Persia, by way of Constantinople, toward
the close of the thirteenth century. But
the earliest mention We have of the altar
IL by KRmpfer, very much later. Kemp
fer speaks with admiration of the rose
gArdens he saw at Shiraz In 1881, and
says that the water distilled from them is
~ 10 all India; and he adds, as q singular
fact, that there separates from it q certain
fat, like butter, called Ettr Cyl, Of the
most exquisite odor and more valuable
even than gold. It was not until the
seventeenth century that tho oil of roses
was known, and sold very sparingly by
the apothecaries Of Italy and Germany.
It was scarcely known in English COM
merce until the commencement Of this
century.
me chief locality for altar of rose, at
least for that which comes to Europe and
America, is q small tract in Asiatic
Turkey, ON the southern side Of the
Balkan Mountains, In the province of
Rumelia. The Damask Rose ROSA Da-
Nsascena) Is the species used, mainly, If
mot exclusively. The flowers are gathered
before sunrise, and are always distilled on
the same day. Those that are not taken
directly to the stin are spread out in
cellars. The still il of copper, of the

Manufacturers and those who sell ma
chimes well know that implements and
machinery will last more than double
the length of time for some farmers than
for others The reason is simple: They
are carefully oiled and as carefully kept
when not in use; for any man who is
careful in the care of machinery when
in use is fully as sure to care for it when
not in use. Such men, for instance,
never have trouble with the earth load
ing on their plows; they never spend
half day securing their plows on the
road in the spring; their plows are al
ways bright, winter and summer. They,
when the plows are done their spring
work, clean them thoroughly and paint
the brigh surface with kerosene and
