Both New York and Boston have

matter. After Chicago has given up
the idea as impracticable, Norristown
will make an effort in the same direc-

effort, and neither New York, Boston,
nor Chicago could abandon such prof.
ect with more celerity-with more
abandonness-with more quickuosity, so
to speak, than Norristown. 1t doesn't
cost anything, either, we believe, to
abandon the idea of Worlds Fair, and
we should be willing to contribute that
much ourself. -No7Y'tstooO Herald.

Violin Forgery.

Violin amateurs will be interested in
suit at law that was recently tried IN
London against dealer named Chanot:
A man named Hodges had purchased OF
Chanot certain violin for ESQ, after
having been charged at the outset 800
for the same instrument. 1t was rep
resented by Chanot to have been made
in the last century by Carlo Bergonzi'
one of the finest of the Cremona
makers, but, though it bore his label, It
turned out not to be his work alta but
the work of much later manufacturer
Questioned in Court, Chanot admitted
that he bought the violin in Paris and
inserted the label himself. ''Where did
you get the label?' he was asked. ooh,
we always have some about, y he an
swered, and afterward admitted that
his father had been one of the founders
of '.school of reproducers' OF old vio-
Inns. Some plain advice and censure
was then administered to NJ. Chanot by
the Judge, and the jury, going out,
found Verdict of $40 damages against
him. During the examination N. Cha

1t is claimed that there are some
special qualities in the water of Shelf
field, Eng, that make it indispensable
in the manufacture of the famous Shell
field razors. AShefield firm immigrated
to this country. bringing Sheffield water
with them in tanks-so the story goes.
When the tanks gave out they found,
to their sorrow, that American water
would not produce the temper or polish
that are the essential characteristics of
Sheffield razors, and consequently the
firm failed. n Christian Union.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Fat hens rarely lay. If hens are
fed so much or so often that they begin
to fatten rapidly, they will soon stop
laying.
"A housekeeper furnishes us the fol-

If garden seeds, when planted in
the spring, are firmly pressed when I'M
der the earth by the ball of the foot,
they will almost invariably grow,

as important, they will spring up earlier
and grow faster than any of their kind
which have not received the same treat
ment.
A suggestion for hoarseness worthy
of trial is the use of common horse
radish prepared in sugar-one part, to
nine parts of sugar. A little of this
mixture in the mouth, swallowed slow
ly, gives relief. The remedy (horse-
radish) is not a new one, but, to us, the
and good one.-HeaHA Monthly.
Since the wide prevalence of the
blight in the pear, large number of
instances are reported of great i'm
mrrnity from this disease in trees grow

reverse has been observed. The evil
dence. however, preponderates in favor
of pear orchards in grass-this remark
applying to standard trees.

Young asparagus beds should not
be sailed before the sprouts are old
enough to cut for cooking, otherwise
the bed may be seriously injured, and
if only one or two years set out it may
be entirely destroyed. The salt should
be applied as soon as the bed has been
cleared off of its rough top dressing of the
previous fall, and the rest forked in.
Care must be taken that the salt does
not reach box edging, other plants, or
very young trees, as they are liable to

The Right to Snore in Church.

It has been decided in Canadian
court that pew-owner may sleep dur
ing service and breathe heavily, even OBJ
streperously, and damages cannot be
recovered. At St. Thomas suit against
man who persisted in sleeping, with
an accompaniment to which no one ever
confesses, has been determined in the
browsing attendants favor. He was
asked to stay at home; but he refused
on the ground that duty called him to
the sanctuary. Audible respiration
through the nostrils in sleep is an invol-
untary and not malicious act, 50 the
decision is interpreted, and while good
taste would suggest the avoiding of such
an occurrence by attending to the serv-
ice, the law cannot interfere to protect
those about the demonstrative sleeper.
1t may be necessary to construct a
church in that community, the pew rent
ing to be limited to those who will keep
awake or at least viii repose unobtrus-

Bob Ingersol's father was a ire

The Manufacture of Farm Machinery

The business of manufacturing farm
ing tools and machinery has become one
of the great interests in this country,

the increase has been over ten-fold.

United States engaged in the manfact-
ure of these implements. Of these 265
are in New York, 221 in Illinois, 220 in
Pennsylvania, 158 in Ohio, and lab in
Michigan. The aggregate capital in
vested in the industry is 62,315, 96S.

rials-making the total value of all
materials used, $32,094,107. Dur

cultural implements manufactured,

sandy, let's go a-swimming.'
"Well, Harry, I don't know about
that. I'd like to take a good plunge;
butsgou see. there's no telling how soon
we may move. 40
1t was the afternoon of Tuesday, June
IA, 1864. We had been marching and
fighting almost continually for five
weeks and more, from atheasW Wilderness
ito Spottsylvania, over the North Anna,
in at Cold Harbor, across the Pamunky
and over the Chickahominy to the banks
of the James Rivers about q mile and a
half from which ives were now lying,
along d dusty road. We, were sun
burned. covered with dust, and general
ly used up, $50 that a swim in the river
would be refreshment indeed.
49, Having learned from one Of the Off
GERS that the intention evidently was to
remain where we then were until the
entire corps should come up, and that
we should probably cross the river at
or somewhere near that point, we re-
solved to risk it.
So, over corn-feld we started at a
good pace. We had not gone far when
we discovered mule tied up in a clump
of bushes, with rope around his neck.
And this long cared animal, somewhat
gothic in his style of architecture.
we decided, after solemn council OF
sEar, to declare contrahand, and forth

on our way back to camp. Untying
Bucephalus from the bush, we mount
ed, Andy in front and on behind, each
armed with switch, and we rode along
gayly enougFs with our feet dangling
among the corn-stalks.
For while all went well. We fell
to talking about the direction we had
come since leaving the Pamunky; and
Andy, who was usually such an author.
ity on matters geographical and astro-
nomical that on the march he was
known in the company as the com
pass confessed to me as we rode on
that he himself had been somewhat
turned about, in that march over the
Chickahominy swamp.
"And as for me- said I, Il think
this is the awfullest country to get
turned about in that | ever did see.
Why, Andy, while we were lying over
there in the road it seemed to me that
the sun was going down in the east.
Fact! But when I took my canteen and
went over little ridge to the rear to
look for water for coffee, I found, OIL
looking up, that on that side OF the
ridge the sun was all right. Yet when
l got back to the road and looked
around, Judge of my surprise when l
found the whole thing had somehow
swung around again, and the sun was
going down in the east:'' ~ g.
t.~~..Whoa dar! Whoa dar! Whar you
gwine wild dat are mule O mine? Whoa
Pete!"
| The mule stopped stock-still as VIZ
caught sight of the black head and face
Of a7darkey boy peering forth from the
door ofsa' tobacco house that we were
passing. Possibly he was the owner OF
thesWhole plantation now, and the mule
Pete might be his only livestock.
sWhere are we going, Pompey?
Why,Swe're going on to Richmond
"On ter Richmon'! An wild dat dar
mule O. mine! I@.'clar to goodness,
sodgers, can't git along widout dat mule.
Better git Off n dat dar mule!'.'
"Whip him up, Andy!'' shouted l.
"Come up, Bucephalus!' shouted
Andy.
And we both laid on right Justify.
But never an inch would that miserable
mule bulge from the position he had
taken on hearing the darkey's voice,
until all of asudden, as if mine had
been sprung under our feet, there was
such striking out of heels and such an
uncomfortable elevation in the rear, the
angle of which was only increased by
increased cudgeling, that at last, with
an enormous spring, Andy and l were
sent flying off into the corn.
Cyl! Vi. vi! Didn't | say better gil
Off n datadar mule o. mine? vi! vi! vi!
Laughing as heartily as the darkey al
our misadyenture, we felt that it would
be safer to make for the river afoot.
We had glorious plunge in the waters
of the James, and returned to the regl'
ment at sunset, greatly refreshed
