Itsweight win be eighteen pounds less than
Our present styles. ss III
A ftrst-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 will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and it Will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
It's mold board will outwear three OF the
very best kinds Of the ordinary steel mold
boards
1t win scour in soils where all steel piows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure
With this Pillow viii be introduced CORFU
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained 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 1t can always be kept on line with the
Plow.
The wheel VIII run under the beam or one
side Of 1t as desired, and always kept IN line
The beam is adjustable for Spring or FAN
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 perfect Piow.
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
isthree times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When zoe say Mold board Is chilled, the
farmers know 1t is so.
We do not palm on on them composition
OF various metals and can it chilled metal
We want agents for this new Pillow in every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we win pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Piow IN the hands
OF Farmers as near the cost OF manufacture
as possible.
1t WIN be the best Agricultural implement
ever sold. @st
1t shall also be the cheapest
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling, y need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission All sales absolute.
eB~ This Is the only Steel chilled Pillow In
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rugged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars,
Compare this price with that of any Iron Pillow
ever made.
IL IS cheaper than any other Pillow now
made would be at five dollars and half.
Where there are no agents we win, on re-
ceiptof Seventeen Dollars send Plow 70 any

stitutes too large a part of his
trade to be trified with; and
as he conducts that, SO he
considers it wise to conduct
the rest of his business. You
have here the clue to his po-
icy. If he sells snowy silks
at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
snowy, or if he sells heavy
silks at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
heavy, he either does not
know his business or delibe-
rately cheats. To be snowy
is nothing; to be heavy is
nothing. A snowy silk
may be nearly all cotton; a
heavy silk may be nearly all
dyel ;
We are frank enough to
say that few statesmen or mer-
chants can tell a good silk
from one that is not good;
and often, when a bad silk
is sold, neither the merchant
nor his salesman has a sus-
picion of the fact.
But the great industry of
manufacture, using mil
lions upon millions of capital
and thousands upon thou
sands of human lives, is not
conducted in ignorance of its
raw material or of its pro-
duct. Few undertakings of
man are based on more exact
knowledge. Do you ina
CINE, then, that there need
be any considerable uncer-
tainty about the quality of a
silk which we place before
you 7 There is necessarily
just this ground of uncertain
ty, and no other: a good silk
is sometimes spoiled in the
last process of manufacture,
and the fact can be found
out only by wearing it.
The buyers problem is
how to get the certain good
and avoid all that can be
avoided of the uncertain bad.
And this is the answer: buy
of merchant whose general
nlan of business is to deserve
your confidence by never be-
traying it, either through ig-
norance or indifference and
whose dealings. are large
enough to give him the best
in the market at the bottom
of the market price. .
This is all that can be pro-
fitably said about buying
silks in general. 1t covers
the whole ground and is the
whole science of buying for
persons without a special,
technical, and very rare
knowledge of goods.
But very likely you want
to know what we mean by a
good silk, and what good
silk costs. By a good silk
we mean one that will not
disappoint reasonable expec-
tations as to appearance,
either when new or old.
A good silk may be got
here for a dollar. The best
silk can be got here for two
dollars; after that, it is a
matter of weight alone. The
best and heaviest we have in
plain black silk is six-and-a-
half dollars.
We have no dealing in
any silk that we have any
distrust of; and if you want
to know what we think of
any particular piece of silk
that we sell, you can learn
by asking.

4 viPer.Hunter.

In the department of La Vendee, in the
west of France, the yenomous viper is hunt
ed for the purpose of making an electuary,
composed chiefly of pounded vipers which
is called the Royal Remedy, and is consider
ed by the Ignorant people as an infallibe
specific for many diseases. The business of
hunting those noxious reptiles is rather
a dangerous employment, their bite being
fatal. and their haunts so secluded az to be
with difficulty approached. A recent travel
er in that country describes one of the per-
sons engaged in this singular pursuit whom
equipped for his task and busilv engaged
therein. In a narrow defle between rocks
overhung with lichens he saw raised plat
form Of stone, upon which stood man
dressed in a complete suit of thick leather
armor with nothing but the upper part of
his face exposed. Beside him was large
kettle filed with milk, boiling over a large
fire, and there was fresh split milk scat
tered around. The man was stopping and
looking about him with an air of anxiety.
Presently he put forth his leather-covered
hand and seized viper which was making
toward him, attracted by the odor Of the
milk. This he quickly threw into the boil
ing caldron. At the sound of the reptiles
agonized hiss the tail grass round the rocks
was agitated, and several of the same species
glided out, and these were successively
crushed on the head by the hunters heel.
He picked them up one by one and put them
into cask, stopped with bung. These
maneuyers were repeated several times, un-
til the cask was nearly filled, when he
poured out the milk upon the ground, and
having exhausted his viper-covey, packed up
his traps and proceeded to the village to sefl
his game to the apothecary.-PAila. Ledger.

How The Russians Keep Warm.

he Russians have great knack for max
ing their winters pleasant. You feel moth
my OF the cold IN those tightly built houses
where all the doors and windows are double
and where the rooms are kept warm bv big
stoves hidden III the walls. There is no
damp IN Russian house; and the inmates
may dress indoors in the lightest of garbs
which contrast oddly with the mass of furs
and wraps which they don when going out.
n Russian can afford TO run no risks of ex-
posture when he leaves his house for walk
or drive. lie covers his head and ears with
iur bonnet, his feet and legs with felt boots
lined with wool or fur, which are drawn on
over the ordinary boots and trowsers and
reach up to the knees. He next cloaks him
sell IN an ample top-coat with fur collar,
lining and cuffs, and he buries his hands in a
par OF hngerless gloves of seal or bear in.
hus equipped, and with the collar of his
coat raised all around so that it mutfcs him
up to the eyes, the Russian exposes only his
nose to the cold air and he takes care fire.
quently to give that organ little rub to
keep the circulation going. A stranger, who
is apt TO forget that precaution, would often
get his nose frozen If 1t was not for the cour-
tesy of the Russians, who will always warn
hlm If they see his nose whitening" and
will, unbidden, help him To chafe it vigor-
ouSlN with snow
IN Russian cities walking is Just possible
Tor men during winter; but hardly so for la
dies. The women Of the lower order wear
knee boots; those Of the shop-keeping classe,
seldom venture out at ALL those of the ari.toc-
racy go out IN slelghs. These sleighs are
by no means pleasant vehicles for nervous
people, for the kalmuck coachmen drive
them at such a terrific pace tina, they fire.
quently capslze; but persons not destitute of
pluck iind their motion most ENJOYABLE. Ii
must be added that to be spilled on, of a
Russian sleigh is only tantamount to getting
rough tumble on soft mattress, for th,
very thick furs in which the victim is sure
to be wrapped will be enough to break the
fall
The houses and novels of the Russian
working classes are as well warmed as those
OF the aristocracy. \ stove is ALWAYS the
principal item Of furniture in them; and
these contrlyances are used to sleep on as
well as to cook in. The mujick. having no
bed, curls himself up on his stove at his time
for gong TO rest sometimes be NAV be
found creeping right into the stove and en-
loying the delights of a good vapor bath.
The amount Of heat which a Russian will
stand is amazing, and his carelessness in
facing the cold afterward not less so. On a
Saturday, which is wash-day all over Russia
you may see in village a muick-who has
been cooking himself in his stove till he is
of color like boiled lobster-rush naked
into the snow and roll himself in it like
dog till he glows all over to his satisfaction
