Here are three business cards, all alike.
I'll take the plain side of them, and on
this one I'll mark large round spot
with a pen. Now, watch close"
These remarks were addressed to an
Express representative a few evenings
since, by a young man who had been
known to the professional" as one Of
the most daring young confidence men
and three-card throwers in the country.
"Now," he continued, 81 take this
card so, and place it on the table. This
is the one with the mark on it. / put
the two others on either side of it, and
you can turn it up now and look at it
for yourself"
The reporter did so. Sure enough,
the middle card had the spot.
"Now, again, 1 take up this card
slowly and throw it over in the place
of the other, and transfer the one on
the left to the place of the one on the
right, and the marked one is now on
the left instead of being in the middle,

The express writer was forced to ad-

to the effect that whenever he became
the possessor Of thousand dollars he
wouldn't bet it on any kind of a game,

at is not the polished orator who
shapes public opinion, bot the quiet
editor, whose words go out to the pub
lie ear without parade or ceremony.
The orator may please theear and tickle
the fancy, but the editor does more;
he satisfies the mind and carries to ev-
cry household q fund Of knOwhelge.
The orator, by burning words and inn
FASHIONED eIOquence, may drive men TO
a sense Of duty; but the editor, ifhe be
true to his profession, attracts men By
the presentation Of thoughts which ap-
peal to the nObler qualities Of the head
and heart. The words Of the orator
drop from the lips and are lost, while
those Of the editor drop from the press,
and, ike coined money, pass for what
they are worth if pure gold in the
truths conveyed, they pass current ev-
erywhere. For good or evil, the editor
wields powerful influence. He can
exalt or debase a community. Heean
advance public corruption. How i'm
portant, then, that the editOrshOuld be
a good man, and that all papers that
convey correct sentiments to the public
ear should receive liberal support"

take up the outside stitch that you sew

them. Most men use the curry-comb too

NEW MoDE OF W,sIING.-The i'll
effects of SO IA on linen, has given rise
to new method of washing, which has
been extensively adopted in Germany,
and introduced into Belgium. The
operation consists in dissolving two
pounds of soap in about three gallons
of water, as hot as the hand can bear,
and adding to this one teaspoonful of
turpentine, and three of liquid am
monia; the mixture must then be we'll
stirred. and the linen stepped in it for
two or three hours, taking care to cover
up the vessel containing them as nearly
hermetically as possible. The clothes
then washed out and rinsed in the
usual way. The soap and water may
be reheated and used second time,
bnt in that case half teaspoonful OF
turpentine and tablespoonful of am
monia must be added. The process is
said to save great economy of time,
labor and fuel. The linen scarcely suf-
fers at all, and it's cleanliness and color
are perfect. The ammonia and turpen-
tine, although their defensive action is
great have no injurious effect on the
linen; and while the former evaporates
Immediately, the SINE of the later is
said to disappear entirely daring the
drying of the clothes.

How TO HANDLE SHEEp.---A great
many farmers and their help handle
sheep in wrong way, often pulling out
handfuls of wool, when this might just
as we'll be avoided as not An old
sheep raiser says: "When about to
catch sheep, move carefully toward
the one to be taken, until you are sufi-
GENTLY near to spring quickly and seize
the beast by the neck with both hands.
Then pass one hand around the body,
grasp the brisket and raise the sheep
clear from the ground. The wool must
not be pulled. If the sheep is heavy
one, let one hand and wrist be put
around the neck and the other pressed
against the rump." That is good advice.
as when sheep are roughly handled, if
the wool is pulled, the small bruises
will render them lie tame, and more
difficult to handle.
