The RensOn WHY.

Not being able TO compete in merit
with the Z" Automatic" Saving Machine,
many companies are Offering machines
at greatly reduced prices or making
great concessions IN the way of giving
very large prices for old machines taken
in exchange, iii order to sell their goods.
The Automatic" is not sold on this
basis, but is sold purely on its merits;
and although people buying this ma
chine can not get as much for their old
machines, nor buy at reduced rates, yet
the advantages found in the "Automat-
ic" over any other machine in the world,
more than pays for The difference in less
than six months. Thousands who are
using it daily will testify to the above.

TERRAPINs Lrhe American group of
the Emidide (Terrapins) comprises
about a dozen species, Of which the
"diamond-backed" is the most highly
priced as an article OF food. The variety
esteemed above all others for its deli
cacy is principally found in the Della
ware and Chesapeake Bays, and in bays
and intets along the coast as tar south
as North Carolina. The reptiles con-
fine themselves mainly to water not
over six or eight feet in depth, and are
captured with drag-nets, or with long
pair of tongs called "terrapin-clams :"
In the latter mode Of fishing, a man
armed with the tongs stands at the bow,
whale another propels the boat through
the clear, still water, of a calm, frosty
morning. The terrapins, usually lying
at the bottom under a tin blanket OF
mud, or entirely exposed, and on their
backs or one side, are dexterously
seized by the tongs and transferred to
the boat,

weather, the annoyance of small flies is

fresh paint during the warm season.
GROUND glass may be successfully
initiated in the following manner: Cut
from tissue paper or white muslin fancy
figures, and then with transparent gum
or paste fasten the paper or muslin on the
glass. Glass doors and windows covered
in this way need no other screen to keep
out questioning eyes or unpleasant
sights. The same end may be obtained
by applying to the windows with brush
hot saturated solution of sal ammo
nific or of Glauber's salts, or of EPSON
salts. The crystallizations in the first
instance will be in straight lines diverg-
ing from point. The EPSON salts will
form four.sided prisms, and the Glauber's
salts six-sided prisms. A perfect and
beautiful screen may thus be obtained.
FURNITURE frequently becomes dusty,
and requires cleaning. For this purpose,
take a soft sponge, wet with clean, cold
water, and wash over the article. Then
take a soft chamois skin and wipe it
clean. Dry the skin as we'll as you can by
wringing it in the hands, and wipe the
water oil the furniture, being careful to
wipe only one way. Never use dry
chamois on varnish work. If the varnish
is defaced, and shows white marks, take
linseed oil and turpentine in equal parts,
shake them well in vial, and apply a
very small quantity on a soft rag until
the color is restored; then with clean
soft rag wipe the mixture of. In deeply.
carved work the dust cannot be removed
with sponge. Use stiff-haired paint
brush instead of sponge.

The PrOsligal.

Inheritors OF vast wealth are proverbislly
spendthrijts. The golden ore is dug from
the minc, refined, and coined, by the labor
of other hands and'the sweat of other brows.
Like childen playing with an expensive toy,
they can form no just estimate of its value.
When the donor weighed it he cast into the
balance so many days OF unremitting and IA
tiguing toll, so many anxious and sleepless
nights, so much self denial, and so
much care. But the inheritor into his bal.
ance throws only-pleasure. The one, values
it by what it cost him the other for what it
will purchase. Like the prodigal in the
Scripture parable, ne thougntlessly expends
it to crafty the caprice and cravings of bis
nature. Then comes the last scene.-.the
misery, the remorse, and the long and weari-
some journey back to the home of frugal in
dustry. But there are other prodigals. On
her favorites our bounteous parent, Nature,
has lavished her richest treasure-health.
But the prodigal values it lightly, for it cost
him naught and recklessly squanders il in
riotous living. Present pleasure obscures
future want. Soon the curtain rises on the
last scene. We see him helpless, impover.
ished; the rich treasures of body and mind
all lost in misery and despair. Remorseful
Conscience holds up to him the mirror OF
memory. In his own reckless folly he per.
ceives the cause of his present pain. He re.
solves to return. The journey is long and
tedious, but If he perseveringly follows the
right road, he will at length see the haven
of his hopes in the distance, and Nature
seeing her invalid child afar off, will come
out to meet him, and receive him back with
