A GOOD PLAN

Anybody can learn to make money rap
idly operating in Stocks, by the 1.-TWO
Unerring Rules for Success, u in Messrs.
Lawrence & Co.'S new circular. The
combination method, which this firm
has made so successful, enables people
with large or small means to reap all
the benefits of largest capital and best
skill. Thousands of orders, in various
sums, are pooled into one vast amount
and co-operated as n mighty ,chOle, thus
securing to each shareholder all the ad-.
vantages Of the largest operator. I'm
mense profits are divided monthly.
Any amount, from S. to 5000, or
more, can be used successfully. n. Y.
Baptist Weekly, September Goth, 1873,
says, "By the combination system S15
would make SIS, or 5 per cent; $50
pays $3.50, or per cent; 800 makes
81 900, or 10per cent, on the stock, dur

A newspaper correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes: "That
dreadful round dance, the new hug

cent blush all over New York. The
posture couldn't be worse. The gen.

lady, puts his right arm clear around
her and hugs her as close as bear

around the room like saw mill gate.
The fellows like it. They say they
have never yet had dance where
they could hug girl up absolutely
close-where they could put on the
arm pressure and bring her so close
that they could feel her heart beat
against their vests. If Mrs. General
Shel man was in New York now she
would go crazy. Country people, not
accustomed to hugg ng. actually
blush with shame, and delicate ladies
hang their heads and turn their eyes
away. Still. say. it is lovely for the
boys. What could be more pleasant
than tn put your arm around twenty
beautiful young ladies in an evening.

Reclaimiug Farms.

In building up an Improbable farm,
the first aim should be to stop the
process OF running down; to make it
pay first expenses, and then a slight.
yet increasing profit, and to this end
both thought and labor must be
directed. No matter how cheaply the
family has been living. ifit is possible
to reduce expenses do SO. Cut off
everything except plain food. coarse,
warm clothes, single newspaper.
Raise your own vegetables, and save
on the meat bill. Pay cash as you
go. Everything has to be paid for
in the end. and the whole credit sys-
tenn ia a delusion and a snare. En-
list the energies and whols nature OF
each and every member OF the family
10 the one great effort to save the
farm. BE proud OF your utmost
economy; even study the economies
OF other men. Keep strict and
honest account with everything
about the farm, so that you know
exactly how you stand. This is the
most important OF all. Every sue
cessful farmer keeps strict accounts.
The value OF account books on a
farm is not so much Gas many sup
pose) to merely show what is received
and what Is spent, but to show exact
ly which field or crop paid besl, and
where losses were incurred. or too
small profits received. The direct
bearing OF such knowledge on the
successful conduct OF farm may be
easily understood.
On every farm. but especially on
one which is doing poorly, there must
be scrupulous saving OF all manu-
rial substances. Barnyard manure,
decayed animal or vegetable matter,
refuse of every description, bones
gathered up in waste places, leaf
mould hauled from the deep ravines,
all these must be utilized, and their
effects will soon be evident.-Sdn

Wonderful are the changes that
have been effected OF late years in
the manufacture OF leather by the
use Of chemicals and machinery, in
place Of the old-iashioned tan pits
and the slow manipulation OF the
currier and tanner. II some OF our
old leather manufactu: srs could be
resnrrected-men who were accus-
toned to soaking their hides for
years and turning them assiduously
at certain seasons-h~w they would
stare to see the present process. But
every day We hear Of something new
In this direction. A joint stock CON-
pany Was recently formed in Detroit
for the purpose OF tanning leather in
one hour. We give the information
for what 1t Is worth, but it certainly
does look like sleight- Of hand. The
process Is chemical one performed
BY the action on certain inexpensive
materials, the compounding OF which
In the right proportions is secret.
It Is claimed that robes tanned with
the hair on are soft as the finest
wool: hides Of the deer, horse, dog,
etc., are smooth and soft, while calf
and kip show the texture and grain
which shoemakers m, st admire. No
bark Is required. except a lit to
give the proper color to the leather.
Bark Is worth IS to 80 a cord, and
about two hundred cords are required
to tan 1000 hides by tho common
method. Two cords would be sufic
lent TO give the proper color to the
same number Of hides. and the saw
ing In this item will be enormous.
We understand that the company are
turning out FROM two thousand to
three thousand hides per mouth.
How the article Is wearing We have
not been able to ascertain. but shall
watch the result with interest.-Com-
