The most treacherous and cruel thing
on earth is an empty old gun that has
been laid away in the garnet or knocked
around as a plaything for ten or fifteen
years. You may snap it at a stump all
day and it will miss fire every time, but
the very first time you playfully snap it
at your brother or your sister or yeur
sweetheart--bang! and you've shot a
hole through somebody.

ERJAP RACON
1880 New Farms Started Within
a Year

Does any one know how many new
farms were opened in the States and
their Territories last year; how many new
log cabins have been built; how many
acres of virgin soil plowed up for the
first time? 1t is not probable that any
one does know with exactness; but there
is little table in the report of the
Secretary of the Interior, presented to
Congress some time ago, which furnishes
the material for an approximately cor
rect answer to these questions During
the year ending with June last there were
taken up under the homestead law
], $40, 900 acres. New land taken up under
the homestead law is for actual cultiva-
ton, and is generally taken in lots of 100
acres. 1t would appear, therefore, that
more than 1900 new farms were COM
menced last year under the homestead
law alone. But this is not all. There
were sold during the year GAO. 961 acres
for cash, and 49, $40 acres were allotted
on military land warrants. 1t is no doubt
true that portion of these 77S, 331 acres
were bought or entered by other than
actual settlers, by spectators or by per-
sons who made investments of this nature
for future purposes. 1t would be fair TO
estimate, however, that one-half of the
1881 acres were purchased or entered
for the purpose of immediate settlement
or cultivation; and this calculation
would give us =, 432 more new farms Of
100 acres each. There were also u ,04S
acres entered upon the Sioux and Chip
pewa half-breed strip, and 607 1884 acres
taken up under the Timber culture law
Leaving these two latter items out of the
calculation, we have an aggregate of
about IS, 800 new farms commenced dur
ing the year This means 1880 new
homes. In five years from now these 49,
800 farms, under good management
ought TO produce annually some 20,000,-
600 bushels of wheat, some 100000
bushels of corn, and some 400, 900 head of
cattle or swine-making provisions more
than enough to furnish meat and bread

President Hayes has accepted the in
vitatiOn to be present at the opening of
the Permanent Exhibition in Philadel-
phia May 10. The only marked change
in the construction of the Main Building
is III the center of the north side, where

the floor by ascending tiers or seats, the

ence-room that will hold 5000 people.

the structures being as rule the same as
those used at the Centennial Exhibition.
One of the towers is to be turned into an
Indian encampment, and close by will be
placed the old log cabin and the New
England kitchen. Another tower will
represent d German homestead, elabor-
ately tiled and lighted with stained
glass. A new bronze statute of the God

of the Exhibition building, and the art

statues, plaster casts, paintings, engrav-

to the south, fronting both sides of the
main transept. The main art exhibit
will be in Memorial Hall. The educa-
tional section will be very complete:
machinery and agriculture have not been
neglected; large space has been re
served for the book department, and a
French crystal pavilion where foreign
glass is to be exhibited is one of the
many new features that have been intro
duced. The enterprise of Philadelphia
In offering under a single roof so many of

Portable or Composition Roofing.

There is probably no article of manu-
facture so universally needed as a reliable
low priced roofing which can be readily APP
piled without the aid OF skilled labor, and
in no other direction has so great want
been so inetficiently supplied. The results
of experiments with felts, cements and other
compositions have so far been anything but
satisfactory. Numerous so-called "cheap
roofngs have been produced, advertised,
used and found worthless. In view of these
facts we are glad to be able to speak favor
ably of an article which, from our own
knowledge and the testimony OF some of the
most extensive and best known manufac-
turers and merchants in TINS country, has
proven a reliable and economical substitute
for the more expensive kinds OF roofing. We
refer to II. w. Johns Patent Asbestos Roof
ing, the manufacturers of which make no
extravagant representations, but claim it to
be the only reliable portable roofing in use,
and from careful inquiry we believe their
claims are well founded. THIS roofing is
prepared ready for use, can be easily applied
by unskilled workmen, is adapted Tor steep
or fiat roofs in all climates, ana when finish
ed with the achte fre-pr0ot coating forms the
lightest, handsomest and coolest root III the
world costing only about half as much as
tin Samples, illustrated catalogues, price
lists, and any desired information can be
obtained from the H. w. Johns manufacture

have recently completed a new manufac-
tory the most extensive works of the kind
III the world, and have reduced their
prices to basis which place their goods
within the reach of every one. They also
manufacture liquid paints, all shades, which
are guaranteed equal to any for general pur-
poses and the most durable for outside work
of anv paints in use In body and richness
of color the Asbestos Paints surpass any we
have ever seen. Fire-proof paint, an econo-
mical substitute for white lead costing only
10 cents per gallon, for the protection OF
factories, bridges and other wooden struc
lures agains fire, is also valuable for the
class of outbuildings, fences, etc, which are
usually allowed to go Imprinted. Root
paint, steam pipe and boiler coverings
steam packing, sheathings, Innings, cements,
ETC., all of which can be relied upon as being
in every respect as represented, and we adj
wise our readers before purchasing paints OF
roofing to send for SAM pies of these articles
and compare them with all others.
