sailed into ferry dock saloon wherein
fifteen or twenty old salts were lyin.,
about their adventures on the high seas
and after warming his hands at the
stove he said to the barkecper:
"Sir, am the agent Of French wine
house, and should like to sell you few
barrels Of brand now over 100 years
old"
The saloonist thought he wouldn't
invest, and the man took pint bottle
from his saichel, held it up to the light,
and looking around ON the crowd, re
marked:
Gentlemen, this is sample of wine
over 100 years old. I have no doubt
that you will all do me the honor to
taste it"
A perfect shower OF tobacco guilds and
half-ccnsumed cigars fell on the big
stove hearth, and the crowd had its
mouth already when the agent scrutin-
ICED the bottle and said:
"Well, am mistaken. I left the
wine at the hotel, and brought along my
hair invigorator in place Of it Gentle
men, please remain seated while ] 60
and fetch the old wine"
At the end of long hour he had not
returned, and one of the victims slowly
arose and said:
Gentlemen, your hear me! If

him and drink his hair invigorator to

New Saw Machine.

For many years farmers have felt tho

Is one of the greatest Of American invcn.
tors. We SEQ from our exchanges that
the editor Of the ohio Farmer, also tho
editor OF tie "A. q. RcDiCl0, Of Cincinnati,
called on Mr.. Giles personally 10 see the
marvellous saw machine. They both pro.
nounce II n machine of great merit. Tho
curiosity oftheso gentlemen was not salts.
fled upon seeing others operate the ma.
chine, but they both tried II themselves on
large log, and they report that one man
operates 1t with ease, and ealYs much
more rapidly than two men could with
the ordinary cr0ss.cut saw. The secret OF
running this machine so easily Is cx.
planned by the fact that tho weight Of tho
operator does fully onc.half OF the labor.
II Is easily moved or carried about by ono
man, and has all the points Of durability
and practical utility wanted In such an
implement. A very large demand for
these machines Is already established,
aud all who SEQ them are delighted with
their superior labor-sayirg principles.
Many people arc constantly calling on
Mr. Giles TO see the machine aud test Its
merits for their friends in the country.
Our attention was called 70 one man In
Colorado, who wrote 10 Samuel Cary, OF
Cincinnati land, by the way, one OF tho
most distinguished statesmen of ohio),
asking him TO call and SEQ Mr. Giles and
his saw machine, and write what he
thought of It. Mr.. Cary promptly went
70 sec the machine, and pronounced 1t q
good machine, and concluded to buy two
OF them himself. DIR. Giles Is said 70 be
very wealthy, being q real estate owner OF
over 100000, and his confidence In tho
great merit Of his invention Is shown
from the fact that he guarantees every
machine TO give satisfaction.

Woman's influence in the Orient.

The influence of women i'll the east,
i'll the remote past, must have been
greater than is generally supposed. L.
Thomas, i'll paper lately read before
the Asiatic society, London. has shown
that it was common in the ancient
world to name children after the
mother rather than the father, and
that this custom prevails i'll certain por-
tons Of the east at the present day.
He gave examples Of this usage from
Lycia, Caria, Ettruria, Persia, ancient
and modern India, Cevlon. etc.
