p Parents cannot be too vigilant in
guarding their children against obscene
literature. All sorts of devices are re-
sorted to by unprincipled men who
wish to make money even by corrupt
ing the young. A teacher of French in
some New York private schools has
just been sent to the penitentiary for
using his position to effect the stealthy
sale of ''indecent stereographs." He
deserves his fate.

CIRCULAR SAWS
Made Without Hammering.

The ''SIMONDS" saws are Strengthened by
means of heat and pressure, and l0ithOut hammer
ing, and are warranted superior to hammered saws
for the following reasons
The success of the process requiring uniform
heat, insures perfectly uniform temper, and they
file and set in satisfactory
Being free from uneven strain buckle, they
stand up to their 10Ork better.
As the steel is left in a natural condition by this
process the retain their original shape posi-
ton, they reduced in size, thus avoiding the
necessity of re-hammering.
Being made of higher quality of steel than it
is practical to use by the old method they hold an
edge better.
Large circular mill saws can be run at any
sOnable speed with equally good results--saws 50
inches in diameter having been tested from 400 to
1850 turns minute, with perfect sati, faction
while hammered saws must be hammered differ
emily for different speeds.
The 'SIMONDS" saws received at the Centen.
NAL medal, diploma, and the following report Of
the Board of Judges
Circular Saws of beautiful finish and form, and
originality in the method of manufacture"
A trial of the ''SIAIONDS" saws will satisfy any
mill man that he cannot afford to use hammered
saws.

MILKING A DRYING Cow.-Col. S. D.
Harris in the Country Gentleman, cor
dennis the usual practice of farmers in
leaving drying COW alone as soon as
the milk shrinks so as not to fill the bag
once day or in two days. He SAYS !:
1.-The little milk which is secreted must
be taken away, or it will work mischief
in the organs of the udder too serious
to be overlooked by the careful dairy
man. 1t is one of the processes of ma
ture that when matter of this kind is
deposited (unless it be large quantity
it must be soon removed, or it is re-
absorbed into the system and when
matter is once perfected, as in the case
of milk, it is no longer cOngenial to the
system, and if not taken away it be-
comes deleterious element for re-ab-
sorption, poisoning instead of feeding
the animal. Thus, you will find in the
udder of cows thus affected, bard Jumps
near the base of the teats, which are
caused by the qualification of putrid
milk, left there in drying up the COW
the season before, and the COW will
never get over it; but when these Or
gans encounter any difficulty in the sea-
son of flush milk, this lump will be the
nucleus of inflammation, just like thief
who is already seereted in a house,
ready to help another who is to break
in from the outside. To be free from
all such troubles, the COW should be
carefully watched for weeks and months
after the regular milking is stopped,
and the teats tried to see if there is
milk to be taken away. This operation

CURE FOR CHOKING CATTLE.-Should
cattle be at any time in danger of chok-
ing by reason of any foreign substance
in the throat, take of fine chewing to-
bacco enough to make ball as large as
hens egg dampen it with molasses so
that it can be compressed into ball,
and will adhere closely elevate the
animals head, pull out the tongue, and
crowd the ball as far down the throat
as possible. In fifteen minutes it will
cause sickness and vomiting, relaxing
the muscles so that the potato, or what
ever may be choking it, will be thrown
up.-Ldncdster Farmer.

"A SHORT time since the commander OF
a Texas regiment which had bad luck in
the civil war wrote to the Governor Of In
diana, asking, in the interests Of concili-
alton, that its flag, captured by the North
ern hords that invaded the South and
trampled It's liberties under foot, should be
returned to Texas. The request was en-
dorsed by the Governor. The flag Is IN
the library of the Indiana State House, an
Indiana regiment having brought it home
as a trophy Blue Jeans Williams and
his people appear to consider the request
reasonable one but, State Librarian Con-
nor entertains different views. In re-
Spouse to the impudent demand he sends
the following sharp answer: Being Gus
todian Of the rebel flag which the Cover
nor Of Texas desires returned, SIMPLY
have to say that while | have control oft
it will not leave the state library. 1t is
a trophy of the heroism Of my comrades

of Patrons of Husbandry in our country,
when we state that it has twenty State
purchasing agencies, three ofwhich do an
annual business of 100000. During
the past year it has had in active opera

ranges from 500, 600 to 100000; fifty
associations for shipping purposes; thirty
two grain elevators ; sixteen grist mills,
one of which produces one hundred bar

houses for storing goods; three tannerieS
and six smitheries. These are distinctly

We read IN a scientific journal There
is a method, which have adopted IN my
own house, 10 cool the temperature OF any
room in hot weather, and that is, TO hang
a sheet or a blanket down outside windows
upon which the sun may be shining. This
sheet Is wet, and the evaporation OF the
water produces a deliciously cool apart
ment The sheet is KEEP, damp by having
a vessel filed with water above the top OF
it outside, and a piece of flannel arranged
to form a siphon, and touching several
portions Of the sheet, The water gradu-
ally empties out of the vessel, and may
be replenished if necessary. The window
is, Of course, open. 1t Is strange that so
simple and inexpensive a method has not
found favor here, more especially in sick
rooms; a cylindrical.shaped tin vessel
with some very fOe holes, fixed over toe
window, would easily supply the water.

Annie Louise Again.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean says Annie Louise Cary has had
her romance the story Of which he tells
as follows
"Years ago she had two dear friends,
one schoomate, a girl of rare beauty,
the other boyish companion, who had
grown up with her and regarded her with
the warmest sentiments. Through the
kindness of Miss Cary these two friends
were brought in contact, and IN spite OF
themselves an attachment sprung up,
which, sorely as it tried the great singer,
resulted finally in their marriage. Miss
Cary sunk all resentment, all feeling, and
attended the wedding, and from that time
on became the sisterly friend and counsel
Tor of both They have needed her as
sistance on pressing occasions, and she
has given it generously and freely; but
hers is not a nature to adore save once,
and that once has come and gone. She
transferred the affections which she had
lavished on her childhood's friend to her
art, and while the latter lost loving wife,
the world gained thereby one Of the great
est songstresscs of modern times
And yet there are who say that Annie
Louise is yet to wed gentleman in her
native state.

The St. Louis Republican argues that
nobody can afford to pay 10 per cent. not
even S per cent. interest, for term OF
years, and that ) per cent. is nearer the
true value of money than 10 per cent.
and adds: 1t is said that the real value
of hired money is measured by the aver
age rate of increase of wealth in the
country. If this rule be correct, money
is not worth even D per cent; it is worth
only l-2 per cent, for that is the coun-
try's rate of growth in wealth, In other
words the country grows richer at the rate
of l-2 per cent. year, on an average
and no more-and this is, therefore, the
true value of hired money on absolute Sc
curity.
