and sublime in its proportions of any

from the top, the walls below being so

HINT TO LIsTERs.-The Wisconsin
supreme court has just rendered decis-
ion of interest to the taxpayers and
assessors alike. The law there, as here,
requires property to 60 into the list at
its fair market value. There, as here,
the assessors have not put real estate in
at above two-thirds of its value. There
is much to be said in defense Of such
methods, but if they are proper they
should be legalized. The court alluded
to has declared that all such assessments
are invalid, and has knocked the tax

SOMETHING FOR BOYS.

Mr.. Parton, with much truth and
force, says: eff you look into the early
life Of a truly helpful man, those who
make life easier and nobler to those who
come after them, you will almost invari-
ably find that they live purely in the
days of their youth. In early life the
brain, though abounding in vigor, is
sensitive and very susceptible to injury,
and this to such a degree that a compar-
ative brief and moderate indulgence in
Utctous pleasures appears to lower the
tnno and impair both the delicacY and
efficiency of the brain for life. This is
not preaching, boys; it is simply the
truth of sclence.'
The truth of this utterance is attested
by history and experience. For on
thoughtful Investigation, starting with
the lowest view of life and character,
and rising to the highest plane of moral
life, it will be found that the follies and
vices of youth permanently affect the
mind. The perversion or abuse of ply
sical law, is ever attended by detrimen-.
tai results. Yes, 'our sins make I'M
pressions upon US, giving directions to
our thoughts, and shape to our purposes,
that will be visible even long after we
we have repented of our sins. 1t is a

HOW SILVER DOLLARS ARE
MADE.

Silver is sent from the assay Office to
the Philadelphia mint pure, or 999 fine,
which is about as pure as silver can be.
1t is sent in large bars, and, when re-
ceived at the mint, is melted and alloyed
with copper. Coin silver is 900 line.
After being melted and alloyed the metal
is cast into ingots, which are simply bars
of convenient size for handling. The
metal is then assayed, to determine
whether it is exactly of the standard
fneness. Assaying is done by what is
known as the dry or humid process.
Samples for assay are taken while the
silver is in fused condition, and two
assays are made of every specimen. The
silver ingots then go to the coiner. They
are first rolled into strips, and as the
rolling process is apt to make the metal
brittle, it is annealed to soften it. Sill
yer is annealed simply by heating it in
an open wood fire, and then being allow
ed to cool gradually. The silver dollar
strips are passed through the rolls nine
or ten times before the first annealing,
and four or five times afterward. Then
the process of annealing is repeated.
After the last annealing the strips are
run through cutters, which divide them
into drafts of the proper thickness for
coins and these in their turn are run
through steam punching machine,
which cuts planchets the proper size for
the coin. From $50 to $40 are cut in
minute. AS the metal gets greasy during
this process, the planchets are then dip
ped into bath of diluted sulphuric
acid, which is too weak to act upon the
surface but effectively removes all foreign
matter. The planchets are then adjust
ed, that is to say. they are carefully
weighed, and all that are lacking in
weight are cast aside; such pieces are
called flights, :" and the ''heavies" are
the pieces which weigh too much and are
fled off. The adjusting is done by
women. 1t is a process which requires
much delicacy, and scales are used which
are sensitive to one sixty-fourth of
grain. After the adjusting is finished
the next operation is the milling, which
| is done with a Curious eV1S e -~ahIne.
The edges of the coin are thrown up and
groved by this process. After another
cleaning with sulphuric acid the COINS
are ready for the die. The stamping is
done on screw press, and both sides of
the coin are stamped at the same time.
The dies are cylindrical blocks of steel
upon the ends of which are carved the
designs to be transferred by pressure to
the coins. a sf.eamf adj 4asQ

H. can remember the funeral procession
which honored the memory of Washing
ton, of which Hamilton was marshal.
The death of the latter is also one of
that great array of historic facts which
dwell in the long range of his experience.
He bore part in the celebration of the
Erie Canal, as we'll as that of the At
lantic Telegraph, and has thus kept
abreast with the improvements of the
age. The lack of early advantages gave

Wagon Wheels.

The general farm wagon has large
| hind wheels and small fore wheels-say
the hind wheels about four and Il halt
to five feet in diameter, and the fore
wheels about three and half to four
feet in diameter. This form and size of
wheel has been in use so long and so
generally that they have come to be re-
garded as Il standard or necessity, and
these sizes are continued without Il
question whether any other size would
be better or not. We presume that the
size of the fore wheel has been suggest
ed and adopted on account of placing
the draft about on il line with the Shout
der of the comOn sized horse, and that
the hind wheel has been made larger
on account of the greater ease with
which it is rolled over obstacles. These,
considerations, it will be seen, relate
wholly to the question of draft, and
leave out of sight all other considera-
tons. These sizes for the farm wagon
wheels were adopted before the ex-
istence of railroads, and when the farm
wagon was the only means of conveying
farm produce many miles to market.
They are the sizes best adapted to the
conveyance of loads on the road, but for
farm use strictly, every practical farmer
must have had it suggested to him by
experience that a lower wagon-smaller
wheels, particularly hind wheels
would be more convenient. In using IA
wagon on the farm, the loading and I'M
loading is going on almost constantly.
while the distance to which loads are
drawn are generally short. The ques-
ton of lifting, therefore, becomes one of
more Importance than draft, especially
when we consider that the lifting is done
by man and the drawing by horse or
other farm animals. We are sure if
farmers were generally to have the hind
wheels of their farm wagons made about
the same size as the fore wheels are
now made they would find the farm
wagon much more convenient, and real
ly much greater labor saving machine.
We would also suggest that if they
would have tires made from two
to two and half and three inches
wide according to the condition or com
position of their land, they would find
this very important improvement. 1t
would compensate for the loss in easy
moving on large wheels, and would be
Il decided improvement in wet weather,
both in the case drumming of the wagon
and avoiding cutting up the soil.-Se-

Good Tools.

To do good work, you want the best
farm implements that you can obtain.
and plenty of them, so that if one gets
out of order while in the hurry of work.
you can use some other implement till
the broken one is repaired. You will
save money in the end by throwing
away your old plows, which were made
about the time of the deluge, and get
ting the best patterns, with steel mold
boards, as they pay for themselves in a
single season in the saving of horse
flesh in their draft. Again, see the old
rusty hoes that many of you use, bought
perhaps twenty years ago! Take out
the handles and sell the hoes as old
iron, and buy new ones, because you
can do one third more work, and do it
much better in a day, with one of the
most improved new ones, than you can
with one of those old stubs that some
of you use. Feed your land, if you
expect it to feed you. Make all the
manure that you can, as this is the
bank that pays your drafts and notes.
The best farm that exists may be ruined
Ill few years by a continued cropping,
without applying manure; and put un-
der the pillow only what laad you can
fertllIZe literally. Adopt rotation of
crops, and keep your pasture and
meadow-lands in good condition, as
the profits on your cows depend on the
quality of their pastures, and the quail
ty and quantity of hay that you cut
and keep good stock, as COW that
gives twenty quarts of milk day can
be kept almost as cheaply as one that
gives only five quarts.-Rural Ner
