Keep the Children Happy.

Invent every possible amusement to
keep your boys at home in the even
ings. Never mind if they do scatter
books and pictures, coats, hats and
boots Never mind if they do make a
noise around you, with their whistling
and hurrahing We would stand
aghast if we could have a vision of the
young men gone to utter destruction
tor the very reason that, having cold,
disagreeable, dull, stiff firesides at
home, they sought amusement elsewhere.
The influence of loving mother or
sisters is incalculable, Like the circle
formed by casting stone in the water,
it goes on and on through aman's whole
life. Circumstances and worldly pleas
ures may weaken the remembrance
for time, but each touch upon the
chords of memory will awaken the old
time music, and her face, her voice, and
her loving words will come up before
him like revelation.
The time will come before you think,
when you would give the world to
have your house tumbled by the dear
hands of those very boys when your
heart shall long for the noisy steps in
the hall, and their ruddy cheeks laid up
to yours when you would rather have
their jolly whistle than the songs of
Nilsson when you would gladly have
dirty carpets, aye live without carpets
at all, but TO have their bright strong
forms beside you once more, Then
play with and pet them. Praise JON
ny's drawing, Betty's music, and baby s
first attempt at writing his name. En-
courage Dick to persevere in making
his raobit-hutch. If one shows a talent
for figures, tell him he is your famous
mathematician and if another loves
geography, tell him he is sure to make
a good traveller or foreign missionary,
60 with them to see their young rab,
bits, and chickens and pigeons. Have
them gather for you MOSES, and grass
es and flowers to decorate your room
And you will keep yourself young and
fresh by entering into their joys.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side Of plate Of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit Of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the written guarantee Of the manufacturers
warranting each case to wear tuenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth

Shall New England Raise Her
Corn.

The level headed editor of the New Eng
land Farmer, in an article on raising corn in
New England, says: At first the Western
farmer sent us his corn, but he soon learned
to feed it at home. sending us his meats, thus
saving large profit from reduced freight
charges. Now the West is carrying the les
son still further, and is beginning to manu-
facture the goods she wants, thus saving an
other freight. We at the same time, as we
find the Western corn held back, are begin
ming to raise our own corn again, but not by
the old time methods practised by our
fathers. Many of the best labor saving
implements have been both invented
and manufactured at the West, and now
we are finding that we must become
patrons of the Western implement maker as
well as Of the western grain grower. in or
der to compete with the crops those imple-
ments help to produce. Western ploughs,
western harrows and cultivators, western grain
drills and seed planters and western harvesting
machines, are now among the things which
are not strange sights To eastern farmers
eyes. We have found too, that there is
more land here in New England that can be
profitably worked by labor-saving machinery,
than we had supposed, and we find too, that
by the application of fertilizers, such
as the Western farmer sooner or
later must use, we can raise crop
nearly as easily and cheaplv as it can be
raised at the West. At present, our market
remains better than the market of the western
farmer, enough better, perhaps, so that we
can, with the extra ninepence or shilling on
each bushel of grain grown, afford to clear
off the rocks. when not too numerous, and
so fit our fields for the use of the same inn
plements which he is using. The tendency
of the times is certainly towards self support
for the necessaries of life in all sections. If
New England must lose her position as the
manufactory tor the rest of the country, then
she must certainly turn towards the land to
find her support, or abandon the soil and let
it grow up to forest again.

Dr. D'Unger's Cure for Drunkenness.

DR.. Robert D'Unger claims to have
discovered the following cure for
drunkenness. Mr., Joseph MediIl, ed
itor of the Chicago Tribune, is a strong
indorser of the remedy and has de-
voted many editorials to further its
general circulation among a class of
unfortunates who cannot say "no"
when asked to drink. 1t is claimed
that DIR. D'Unger has cured $4,000
persons of the worst form of intem-
perance by this method of treatment,
and that this is the first remedy ever
discovered which kills the disease
and the inclination to drink at the
same time:

The Democratic county convention
Thursday of last week did its work
in business-like way. There were
a few Hamiltonians among the dele
gates, but their wishes were not re-
garded by the convention, and dele.
cation was elected to the State con-
vention opposed to Hamilton. The
delegation to the Judicial Convention
are said to be favorable to the NOM
ination of Col. J. w. Veitch.
The county ticket placed in nomi-
nation is probably the weakest ever
nominated in this county. This is
especially so of the nominees for
County Commissioners and Orphans
Court. This fact is admitted on all
sides by Democrats as well as Repub-
licans.

Foot Race Against Time.

Wednesday afternoon wager was
made by Mr.. Handy Gipson, colored,
of Oakland, that he could go to Deer
Park and return, distance of twelve
miles, in two hours. The start was
made from the corner of Liberty and
Second streets, about three O'Clock,
Gipson being accompanied by Messrs.
r. w. McWilliams and John A. De-
lawder, Jr., on horseback. When the
time approached for their return
large crowd assem- bled at the starting
point, all eagerly scanning the road
in the direction of Deer Park. AS
the time drew near the crowd and
excitement increased, until about %
minutes before time was up the run
ner and accompanying horsemen
made their appearance at the head
of Second street, and reached the goal,
amidst the shouts of the multitude,
with barely 80 seconds to spare. AL
though the weather was the warmest
of the season during the race, Mr..
Gipson did not seem much the worse
for his long race.
