THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED steel. PlOW

- BE =. h1 ~ &C ~ 99
Itsweight win be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles
A first-class Steel Plow, made in the or
binary way, full rugged, retails for twenty-five
dollars Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars
The price OF our new Plow viii be but
Seventeen Dollars, and it Will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three OF the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards
1t Will scour in soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved
failure.
With this Plow will be introduced CORFU
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which is
also great improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted SO as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and it can always be kept on line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of it as desired, and always kept in line
The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Flowing, and also for two or three horses
The handles can be adjusted to accommo-
date man or boy, on the same Plow.
1t is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out Of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoraliZed and
bend, which is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is the necessity OF the day. 1t
Ethree times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When lce say a Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know il is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
OF various metals and cali it chilled metal
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town in this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight
We propose to place this Plow in the hands
of Farmers as near the cost OF manufacture
as possible.
1t will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
1t shall also be the cheapest
Persons therefore who are not willing TO act
as agents on the principle that ga nimble six
pence is better than slow shilling, need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission All sales absolute.
eE- This is the only Steel Chilled Plow in
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars
Compare this price with that OF any Iron PlOw
ever made.
1t is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at five dollars and half
Where there are no agents we will, on re-
eeiptof Seventeen Dollars, send Plow TO any
Railroad station in the State and pay the
freight. Address,

How Slate Pencils are Made.


In making slate pencils broken slate is
put into mortar run by steam, and pounded
into small PARTICLES. Then it goes into a
mill and runs into a " boiling machine,
such as is used in Touring mills, where II is
"bolted," the fine, almost impalpable flour
that results being taken to mixing tub,
where a small quantity of steatite four
similarly manufactured, is added, together
with other materials, the whole being made
into stiff dough. This dough is kneaded
thoroughly by passing it several times be
tween iron rollers. Thence it is conveSed
to table where it is made into charges"
or short cylinders, four or five inches thick,
and containing eight to twelve pounds each.
Four of these are placed in a strong iron
chamber or "retort," with a changeable
nozzle, so as to regulate the size of the pen
Gil, and subjected to tremendous hydraulic
pressure, under which the composition is
pushed through the nozzle in the shape of
a long cord, and passed over soping table
slit at right angles with the cords to give
PtSohRC W hullo WulCu CubS butIIl lubD
lengths. They are then laid on boards to
dry, and, after few hours, are removed to
sheets of corrugated zinc, the corrugation
serving to prevent the pencils from warping
during the process of baking, to which they
are next subjected in kiln, into which
superheated steam is introduced in pipes,
the temperature being regulated according
to the requirements of the article exposed to
its influence. From the kiln the articles go
to the finishing and packing room, where
the ends are thrust for second under
rapidly revolving emery wheels and with
drawn neatly and smoothly pointed. They
are then packed in pasteboard boxes, each
containing one hundred pencils, and these
boxes are in turn packed for shipment in
wooden boxes, containing one hundred each,
or ten thousand pencils in a shipping box.
Nearly all the work is done by boys, and
the cost, therefore, is light.

The Effects OF Christianity.

The effects of the work of Christ are even
to the unbeliever indisputable and histori-
cal. 1t expelled cruelty, it curbed passion,
it branded suicide, it punished and re-
pressed an execrable infanticide, it drove
the shameless impurities of heathendom into
congenial darkness. There was hardly a
class whose wrongs it did not remedy. 1t
rescued the gladiator it freed the slave, it
protected the captive, it nursed the sick, it
sheltered the orphan, it elevated the woman,
it shrouded as with halo of sacred inno-
cence the tender years of the child. In
every region Of life its ameliorating inau-
ence was felt. 1t changed pity from vice
into virtue. 1t elevated poverty from a
curse into beatitude. 1t ennobled labor
lisa It ssnced msrrsses ,s ffom sS %ofe aHt
a burdensome convention into little less than
a blessed sacrament. 1t revealed for the
first time the angelic beauty of purity OF
which men had despaired, and of meek
ness at which they had utterly scoffed. 1t
created the very conception of charity, and
broadened the limits of its obligation from
the narrow circle of a neighborhood to the
widest horizons of the race. And while it
thus involved the idea Of humanity as a
common brotherhood, even where its tidings
were not believed-all over the world, where
ever its tidings were believed it ceansed the
life and elevated the soul of each individual
man. And in all lands where it has moulded
the characters of its true believers it has
created hearts so pure, and lives so peaceful,
and homes so sweet, that it might seem as
though those angels who had heralded its
advent had also whispered to every depressed
and despairing sufferer among the sons OF
men, Though you have lien among the
pots, yet shall ye be as wings of a dove, that
is covered with silver wings and her feathers
like gold."-Dr. Fdrar's Life Of Christ.

would read the following paragraph and

to Webster. No one succeeded in earning
the dictionary, although nine teachers made
the attempt: "A sacrilegious son Of Belief,
who suffered from bronchitis, having ex-
hausted his finances, in order to make good
the deficit, resolved to ally himself to
comely, leuient and docile young lady of the
Malay and Caucasian race. He accordingly
purchased a calliope and a coral necklace Of

and sent a polite note of refusal on receiving
which, he procured carbine and bowie
knife, said that he would not now forge fet-
ters hymeneal with the queen, went to an iso-
lated spot, severed his jugular vein, and dis

The Individuality OF Children.

Nothing should be more carefully respected
and guarded than the individuality of a
child. The atmosphere of home should be
that of love and safety, in which all the
natural inclinations of children should be
allowed to act spontaneously. Their wishes
for employments and possessions of their
own should be respected, their tastes in mat
ters of food and dress consulted in so far as
is consistent with the convenience of those
around. We have heard grown up people
tell Of the distaste they had when children
to certain kinds Of food which they were
compelled to eat, or certain kinds of clothes
which they were compelled to wear. 1t used
to be a rule in many families that child
must eat all the crusts of his bread, or all
the fat on his meat, or all the food on his
plate. Such rules are barbarous, and we
trust nearly obsolete, yet children's taste in
food ought to be more considered than it is.
Food that is distasteful should never be
forced upon them, and to procure for them
food which they enjoy will in most cases be
to procure such food as their systems re-
quire. So of taste in dress. Children will
sometimes have an antipathy to particular
garments and preference for others. If
possible, these tastes should always be re-
spected, guarding, of course, against en-
couraging or fostering vanity. So of the
occupations and employments of children.
As far as possible they should be left to fol-
low their own inclinations when they are
harmless. If your little girl would rather
play with hammer and tacks than with
dolls, why let her have them, and see that
she has board, or a box or place where
she can drive them without reproof. II
your little boy always wants to hitch the
chairs up for horses, and can enjoy himself
happily as an imaginary strage-driver, why
set apart certain chairs for him, and let him
drive unmolested and unmatched. If he
begs for tools, let him have them; if he
wants pencils or paints, procure them fol
him. The only way by which parents Can
secure the confidence of their children is
first to show confidence in them. Confidence
must be won; it can Dever be forced, moi
even from the little ones who play around
our knees. A happy childhood is the great
est heritage parents can give to their chill
dren. Its memory will brighten and cheer
the whole of life. To be happy it must to &
certain extent be unrestrained.

Practical.

Religion is, above all things, sternly prac-
ticdi, The loving disciple cannot cheat in
business, cannot bear false witness, cannot
injure his fellow-men. A false weight is an
abomination unto the Lord hence no Chris,
tian disciple will give false weight. God
abhors the small ephah or measure, and no
disciple will give. small measure. The divine
power which regenerates the heart, and
changes the affections from the world unto
God, must declare its presence in the out.
ward life The pure in heart cannot be i'm
pure in action. The meek cannot appear
proud. The really merciful cannot be cruel
Thus does every attribute Of the soul mani
fest itself in the outward conduct. Christ
is both the author and the fnisher of oui
faith. Do not write the name of religion
upon the boxes and wrappers of your goods
the quantity and quality will declare the
fact Never change your tone while speak
ing of your hope, but let religion pervade
all your words and thoughts. "Christ is al
and in all !" hence the keynote of the text
Whatsoever We do, in word or deed, do al

A Word to Teachers.

II gives us unusual pleasure to acknowl-
edge the receipt of numerous letters from
acquaintances, perintendents, teachers and
friends Of education, bringing words Of en-
oouragement, good cheer and expressions of
satisfaction that some effort is being put
forth in the interest of common schools.
Many Of these have come from entirely un-
expected sources and have been to us a
source of no little surprise and qualification.
Now, while these are most acceptable and
are received with gratitude, yet if teachers
wish to make us twice glad, let them insert
in their letters Of good wishes aud inquiry,

Of value to them in the school-room. Every
faithful teacher begins term of school
with definite plan of operation marked out
to be followed more or less minutely, accord

cessful during the terms just closing, their
associates desire to know by what means

as important that their fellow-teachers be
apprised Of the cause, that they may steer
clear of similar disaster. The stagnation of
popular interest around the school and the
dead calm in the schools themselves is trace.

make it of value to You and yours, and any
