New No. 6 Sewing Machine.

We, manufacturers Of Boots and Shoes, are
using Wheeler & Wilson's New No. Sewing
Machine in all kinds Of stitching on our work,
and confidently believe that it will superseda
all others in this branch Of manufactures, for
the following reasons:
/. The work done by this machine is superior
to that OF any other in variety, amount, excel
lence and beauty.
2. This machine is more durable than any
other of its class, requiring much less outlay
for repairs and renewal Of parts.
8. 1t does the cording or staying OF button
holes in most elegant and substantial man
ner, without the expense Of royalty.
In short, because by the use of this machina
we can turn out superior work at less cost than
with any other.

THE result Of the great pitched battle
between the Turks and ServIans was a
complete victory for the Seryians. The
Turks were routed with a loss of fifteen
thousand killed and wounded. The
fighting continued for four days, The
Turks outnumbered the Serbs, but we e
routed by fink movement that cut
their column and divided their strength.
1t is presumed that this battle will
terminate the war, as both parties are
desirous of peace. 1t is quite certain
that the intervening powers will not
permit Servia TO be subjected to any
harsh terms in the pacitication, how
ever much the Turks may demand it.
The Sultan is unquestionably insane,
and Turkey will be glad to have peace
restored in order to look after her do
mestic difficulties and complications.

NEW BRANCHES OF EXPORTs.-The
business Of exporting fresh beef from
this country to England in refrigerators
on shipboard has met with signal sue
cess, and is largely on the increase. The
meat thus exported meets with ready
sale, and can be placed on the Liverpool
and London markets at cheaper rates
than English beef is sold at.
American beef on arrival is said to be
actually superior to the British beef of
the same class. There is, nevertheless,
strong prejudice existing in the minds
Of the wealthier classes against the
American beef. To avoid the effect of
this, the English butchers dealing in
American supplies label their American
meat as genuine English beet," and
sell 1t as such.
The dairy products of this country are
exported to England in large quantities,
and are there treated in the same manner.
Some of our Western Reserve cheese
factories have standing British orders
for all they can produce. After reach
ing the British dealers, it is manipulated
into new shapes and sold as ''sound
English cheese;" and is frequently re-
turned as such to this country.
A scheme is now in progress Of devel-
epment to ship American live stock on
the hoof to England, both cattle and
horses. The experiments hitherto made
to test the practicability and profits of
this enterprise haveresuIted quite salts.
factorily; and the business is now being
organized for prosecution on q large
scale. Both England and France are
said to be singuIarly destitute of good
work-horses. Their blooded stock has
been highly cultivated and furnish
fine order OF fancy horses
for carriage service, and the like; but
are not suitable for ordinary team-ser-
vice. Hence the common farm horses Of
this country are in demand there, COM
Inanding good prices and ready sales.
Steamships are being constructed and
reconstructed to accommodate this new
enterprise, and the transportation of
cattle and horses is now pronounced
feasible and profitable. There seems to
be indeed no end to the products that
he producers OF this country are now
exporting to the markets Of Europe.

THE ALGERINE SEA We presume 1t
wOull be difficult Tor the student Of
geography to find body of water any
where on the globe designated as the
"Algerine Sea-" But if there is no such
sea to be found now, it seems to be de-
termined TO have one made and SO
named. The French, having important
colonies in Africa, known as Algeria, are
bestirring themselves most vigorously
In the work Of inaugurating the enter
prise of turning the waters of the Med
iterranean into the deserts of AlgIers,
thereby converting it's sandy wastes
into an inland Sea.
1t is maintained as theory that this
Algerine Desert, indeed the whole great
Desert of Sahara, was once an inland
sea, or more likely gulf OF the Medit-
erranean. That by reason of some grand
conyulsion, or by the gradual accumula-
tions of drifting sands, the connecting
straits were closed, the supply OF waters
from the ocean through the Mediter-
Tanean cut off, and, having no rivers,
evaporation in that torrid climate finally
exhausted the waters and left their for
mer beds sandy desert. And the pres
ent proposition is to reopen the ancient
connection between the sea ana the des-
ert, and once more convert the latter
into an inland sea, or Iand-locked gulf
of the Mediterranean.
A survey has been made by French
engineer, whose report demonstrates, il
is said, the feasibility of the undertake
ing.
The area of the desert of Algeria pro
posed to be flooded is found to be about
220 miles in length and 40 miles in width.
As the desert is much lower than the
surface Of the Mediterranean there is
uUGnIng required DuT 10 open channel
of sufficient dimensions and flood the
desert from the sea. The estimated
cost is from SIG, 900 900 to $40, 100000; not
an enormous sum for France with the
aid of the Tunisian government 10 sup
ply. 1t is assumed that important bene-
fts would accrue to the Governments
Interested by the re-establishment of this
Algerine sea.

dublin Stout" Flies About.

Our friend Nedolis lives at an aristo-
cratic clearinghouse on Beacon Hill.
Nedulis having recently recovered from
a severe attack OF rheumatism, was di-
rected by bis physician to take Dublin
Stout with his noon-tide meal. The
boarderS, as RUE, are possessed OF
sLrict temperance principles. and they
looked with amazemeut at the first bot
tie which was set before Nedois one day
last week. Now the servant, evidently
believing in the we'll established rule
that all medicine should be we'll shaken
before taken, had manipulated the bottle
to such an extent that the contents were
in a very lively condition. Upon the
day in question everything about the
| table seemed to be unusually bright,
neat and clean. The table linen was of
snowy whiteness, and the silverware
| was polished to perfection. After con.
siderable hesitation, Nedolis (who, by
the way, is member of the Reform
Club seized the bottle and drew the
cork.
Immediately almost the entire con-
tents flew from the bottle, and, striking
the ceiling which had just been timed
and frescoed) descended in a beautiful
shower upon the table and the dignitied
collection OF bearders around. Nedolis
instantly clapped his thumb upon tn Q
mouth OF the bottle, which operation had
the effect OF throwing fine stream into
the face OF the landlady, and another
into the custard pudding which sat be-
fore her. The iandlady screamed, and
Nedolis shifted his thumb in such man
ner as to turn the stream in the oppo-
site direction, striking the landlord
{ who was engaged in carving the meats
directly in the breast, somewhat dam
aging an immaculate shirt-front. Final "
the bottle was emptied Of It's contents
and quiet was restored. Nedolis's new
suit Of clothes had been transformed
into the color OF nankeen, and every ar
tcle of food was favored with Guinness
porter. The tablecloth was completely
saturated, and not person escaped a
sprinkling. Nedolis now takes his por.
ter at Pitchers before going TO dinner.
