New Arrangement.

The fact has long since been
well established that Saur, the
Drug and Book Man, is ever
mindful OF the great wants and
demands of the people. He is
now opening out the largest and
grandest stock of goods for the
holiday and winter trade which
can be seen any where. IT
consists of almost everything
which is to be found in any
drug or book store.
In the Drug Department you
will find all the drugs, medi-
cines and chemicles OF any note
known to the medical sciences,
as we'll as a full line of nearly
every kind of patent medicine
which has ever been compound
ed or discovered.
The paint, oil and varnish
department is none the less
complete and carries every
thing in stock which is usually
+ found at our largestpaint stores
where paints and oils are made
a specially.
Then comes the great book
department, where may be
seen an endless variety of choice
books in every style of binding
and print, including papers and
magazines, which are made a

library, which contains several
hundred volumes, furnishes
reading matter to hundreds ev-

which merely pays for handling
the same,
Large sales are made annu-
ally IN the wall and window pa
per department, which is the
very best voucher that the low
est prices and best quality are
always the rules which govern
this house.
And were we to neglect the
brush department we should
neglect the most important, from
the fact that it is always large,
complete ard the variety great;
and one grand feature OF it is
that every brush is bought in
such way and always direc'
from the manufacturer and i'm
porter. who authorizes every
brush warranted to give the
very best satisfaction or refunc

The stock OF blank books al

Decidedly Demorest's Monthly is the

are OF more than average excellence; its
sensible talks to women are distinctive
feature; and the topics of the month are
discussed in manner both suggestive

It is, of course, understood that the

Is ostentation in mourning as in all
things. The best authorities limit the
term of the deepest mourning dress to
three months, the entire lesving off of
Grape to six months, and the mourning
dress to one year, and the term of Sc

OF course no one can say that wom-

dislike it.
Common-sense and common decency
should, however, restrain the frivolous
from engaging much in the amusements

have passed after the death of any near
friend; especially, if they pretend to
wear black, should they be careful of
those appearances which mourning is
supposed to respect.-Harper's Bazar.

Deceptive Mining Schemes.

Mayor Richmond, of Pueblo, Colo,
tells the Philadelphia Times that many
of the stock companies are operated
without honor or decency, being merely
schemes to beguile unsuspecting people
in the East. He gives the following &C.
count of how the trick is usually played !:
ga company will be formed represent
ing a cash capital of perhaps 800, 900,
for the purpose of opening new mines
and of carrying on the business of min
ing generally. A claim is bought and
opened. Suppose the mine shows up
or sights for 100000, the capital
stock? The company then proceeds to
put the mine on the Eastern market at
q capital of $1,000, 900, or possibly, if
the company is unusually sharp, at
$5, 600, 900. This is done by going to q
few prominent capitalists and saying:
sHere, we will let you in on the ground
floor of this company If you will take
some stock and help us along with your
influence The capitalists buy the stock
and lend their names, and in . short
time the entire stock is taken by Eastern
investors, who are deceived by seeing
the prominent capitalists as heavy stock
holders. When the stock has all been
taken the money is divided between
those on the ground floor and opera
tons 60 on as in all well-regulated com.
panies. The concern never pays q div
idend in the world, and tho second
class of stockholders never see cent OF
their money.

The Best Pillow.

Which is the best plow2 is a question
about as easily answered as, WHAT is the
best length for ladderP Either must
depend on what you want to use it for +.
On our soil. we want, for breaking up, q
swivel pillow which will completely nvert
the sod, turn it over fat and smooth, on
level land as we'll as on hill side We
want it simple in construction, free from
all useless contrivances for making it sell,
whatever their names may be. 1t should
he easy of draft and easy to hold. These
qualities we have found most and best
combined in the Rochester pillow made by
j. E. Worcester of that town lin VermonD,
and those wanting such pillow should
communicate with him.
For " old land" or stubble, we want a
plow with u mould board of different
shape, which will pulvelize the soil as it
turns it, combining the same simplicity,
ease of management, draft. ETC., as before
stated, and for this purpose the Green
Mountain, No, 6, made by j. Welch, &
Son, Randolph, is the best we have ever
used. There may be other plowS Just as
rood for these purposes which we have
specified, and better for others, such lis
zap urrow or rdging, but for what we
want these best suit us.
There should be more attention given to
blowing than many now give it. Good
blowing is the basis of all thorough cult
walton. A piece poorly plowed will much
increase the labor of cultivation, and
decrease the crop. Determine in your
own minds how you want your blowing
done,an then look out for the pillow which
will do the job. Tell the maker what
you want done, and if he has confidence
in his plow he will not be afraid to grant
you fair trial of it before you buy. If
he won't do that, zoe wouldn't buy. We
won't buy such NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., har-
rows, moving machines, horse rakes

of them, not to do season s work with,

from 16 to % per cent. He also gives the
value of mature corn cobs from field corn
at ifiyseven cents per hundred pounds.
He also has examined samples of color
ed or faced coffee, aud finds that for this
facing powders are used composed of
chromate of lead and sulphate of barium

black powder consisting entirely of crude
bone black or burnt bones, and an olive

plates of grasses and ten pages of text,

Drs. Detmers and Law have reports of
swine plague, or swine fever, or hog

gious lung plague, and there is also one
on the "rinderpest," each handsomely
illustrated. A map is annexed showing
the territory in which the contagious
pleuro- pneumonia exists, which embraces
one county in Connecticut, seven in New
York, all of New Jersey but three coun-
ties, and parts of Delaware, Maryland and
pennsy lvania. This probably is where it
actually existed at the time of making the
report.
On the whole the report seems to be
more than usually valuable, and suited to
the ordinary wants of the people.
