In fact, this OUGHT to oe the style, if it
is not.
Dry goods stores are full of huge
piles of dress goods, cloaks and shawls,
spread out in the most seductive man
ner.
The new-fashioned Partisan fans, in
the shape of r%evolvers, and doubtless
intended for young ladies who are
perfectly killing"
The combination of pleats and puffs
is rather graceful, and enables a lady
to retrim an old costume without much
difficulty.
The Oriental style of jewelry is be-
coming fashionable, and the public
taste runs toward the fantastic through
graceful shapes and high colorsig it
presents.
Fashion demands that gloves shall lie
still longer, the buttons being too num-
erous to mention. BY and by we shall
have gloves and stockings all in IL
piece. i.
Charming new styles of handker-
chiefs show eolored embroidery, with
Valencienres lace borders. Fancy Dor
dered handkerchiefs of an immense va
riety are now offered in stores at low
rates.
Nade up laces display snowy designs
in real and imitation goods. Never
were laces marked so low as at the
present, and lace lovers avail them
selves of that fact; very wisely. too,
for good lace is always valuable, and
never can be said to really "go out"

informed us week before last, that a
poor and worthy lady had died in
that village, and from the comment
he had heard upon the streets, he was
confident her death was the immedi-
ate result of absolute want aud neg
lect, as her body was frozen when
discovered. We remarked to orr in
formant that it was singular, that the
citizens of Camden appeared to be a
hospitable, generous and Christian
people, and certainly knew not of the
condition of the deceased. lie said /:
"Well, l don't know anything, only
what | heard on the stl eets, make q
note of it and see." We did so. If
we have done an Injustice to our
neighboring citizens of Camden, we
are certainly ready and willing TO
make the amende dc honorable, with
out the editor of the second edition
Of the "Life of Christ" exhibiting his
assinine p%ropensities so extensively
as to want us hung, quartered and
burnt for the mistake.
Query? No name was mentioned
about the affair-we stated it was an
sold lady"-how did the smart Aleck
of the HERALD know that the person
he mentions is the one, if she died all
right?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-01-09

The position of an odii or of u news
paper, however humble it may be, is
surely a very trying n and to the
philosopher very amusing at times.
His patience and religion are frequent
ly put to severe tests by the patrons of
his hebdsmadal. For instance One
fellow stopped his paper because he
thought we took too strong grounds
against the sport of hunting and shoot
ing quails; another because we didn't
give these fellows no hunt and bang
around "our farms more h-;" an
other because we had spoke Very en-
couragingly on one or two occasions of
the Murphy movement; another be-
cause we pulled the saloons too much
and the Murphys too little; another be-
cause he said he was satisfied we were
an old hard-shell Presbyterian and be-
lieved in the damnation Of infants; and
the last one because he said he seen too
much about Bob Ingersoll in our pa
per, and he believed we were IN inf
del! We smiled upon this narrow
minded friend and pitied him When
a. boy We were taught this was a land
of civil and religit us liberty, where
every one had a right to hold such re-
ligious views as they saw fit, or to live
without religion or religious belief,
without being prosecuted or prescribed.
We hold ourselves responsible at all
times to the laws for cur crimes; to the
Almighty and Him alone for our sins;
to ourself personally, both here and
hereafter, for our religious belief. We
ask no man what his religious faith
may be, nor do we care a fig what creed
of the three thousand different ones he
believes in, or at what church he wor-
ships, so he is an honest and good citi-
zen. The religion of one man will not
harm or help another. Our subscribe
ers may entertain such religious views
as they please, or none at all-that is a
matter for themselves, their conscience,
their present and future happiness
Our columns are always open for the
advancement of Sabbath schools and
churches of all denominations. Our
religion is broad and liberal, and isnot
based IN intolerance, fanaticism, big
otry, or pulpit-pounding and bible
banging ideas, and if it was not wrong
for John the great Apostle, to think for
himself; if it was Iot wrong for all the
Apostles to think for themselves; if it
as not wrong for AL the founders of
all the many religions we have, to
think for themselves concerning mat
tiers affecting their souls here and here
after, surely it cannot be wrong for us.
If our friend wants followers to his no.
tions and ideas, he will never get them
by persecution and prescription.

Crushed Grain for Horses.

Oats are justly advocated as the grain above
all Others adapted to horses, and it is true
that for young horses and those used on the
road there is probably nothing equal to oats !;
but they ought to be crushed or bruised aud
not ground. III fact, think all grains are
better led in this way, and it seems strange
that there are no good American Oat crush
ers. They seem to me simple affairs, as
have seen them in English stables. A wheel
OF perhaps eighteen inches diameter, made
strong and having a perfectly fiat periphery
of steel, presume like steel tire, having a
face about three inches wide, is turned so as
to bear evenly against smaller one, say
eight inches or less in diameter, having SIM
liar face. These two large wheels are geared
to run together and the oats are slowly ted in
by hopper. Good oats when crushed are
nearly round and as big as silver three cent
pieces and the husks are quite inconsplcuous;
poor ones show more hnsks than grain and
oat. Barley may be crushed equally well
with oats, although harder; and corn, when
too green to grind, might well be thus treated
II grain be swallowed whole it is not easily
digested, but if crushed or broken even, it is
likely to be 'coarse NEAL" that is, the corn
usually sold for feeding in many Eastern
towns, simply because it can be cheeply pro-
duceo, is better than whole corn because it is
broken and some portions OF it toleraby fine,
but all the hinty parts are in large solid pieces
which do not adhere to cut hay, do not soak
quickly and are slow of digestion. When new
corn is crushed, although it is not commit
nuted into meal, its integrity is destroyed aud
it is easily digested, because it readily absol BIS
