A few days ago a Detroit widower, who
was engaged to a Detroit widow, each hav-
ing two or three children. and both being
we'll of, determined to test her love for him
and at the same time discover if she was
actuated by mercenary motives, as some Of
his friends had asserted. He called upon
her at the usual evening hour, and after a
while remarked:
my dear, you know I have two chill
dren, and to-day I had my life insurance
policy for $4,000 changed to their sole
benefit in case of my death"

Mr.. Moody, her o salesman for w. ".

TO CLEAN HUsTYPLOw,

Take a quart of water and pour
slowly into it half pint of sulphuric
acid. The mixture will become quite
warm from chemical action, and this
is the reason why the acid should be
poured slowly into the W ater, rather
than the water into the acid, and let
remain on the iron till it evaporates.
Then wash 1t again. The object is to
give the acid time to dissolve the rust.
Then wash with water and you will
perceive where the worst spots are.
Apply some more acid, and rub on
those spots with a brick. The acid
and the securing will remove most OF
the rust. Then wash the mould board
thoroughly with water to remove all
the acid, and rub it dry. Brush it
over with petroleum, or other oil, and
let it be till spring. When you go to
blowing, take a bottle of the acid wa
ter to the field with you and apply it
every bout to any spot of rust that
NAV remain. The acid and the scour-
ing Of the earth will soon make it
perfectly bright and smooth. If all
iron work be washed of with petro-
leum as soon as we put our tools. i'm
plements and machines aside for the
winter, it will keep them from rusting
and save great deal of trouble and
annoyance, TO say nothing of depreci-
alton and loss.-Ruyal WOT2d. leo

In a larger view of the case, the an
