CAPTAIN MAYNE REID strenuously de-
MES the truth of the commonly received no
ton that white colors are cooler wear than
dark colors: "While campaigning in trop.-
cal country, under the hottest of suns, be-
came aware that black coat was cooler
than a white one, both being of the same
weight, texture, and thickness-in short,
ceterie paribus, save the color. The fact
led me TO reflection, to correlation of other
facts aud circumstances observed at the
same time, as on other occasions. For one,
l could see that my negro servant alongside
me, enveloped in coal-black skin, did not
suffer from the fervid rays of the sun half so
much as / under my tripe- epidermis;
What could this be but provision of Ma
ture-mereiful Nature-made for him whose
home was to be in the torrid zone? And the
longer remained within its limits the more
could acknowledge her kindness in tan
ming my cheeks, and so making them less
sensitive 10 the searching of the sun. From
the coat upon my back and the color of my
skin thought wandered to the black bears of
tropical countries-always coal-black-to the
brown species of temperate climes, and on
to the Arctic ice, where Ursa is robed in
white. Then, there is night and day, shad-
ow and sunlight, the dark, naked ground,
and the same covered with snow-all in their
opposed temperatures in conformity with
my belief as above.'' This was written sew
eral years ago, but the captain now reiter-
ates it as being borne out by new experience.
His theory is that dark substances radiate
their heat more quickly than white substan-
ces.
THE taxpayers of Helena, Arkansas, are
to be congratulated in that, so far as now
appears, they have got out of their awkward
bond scrape honorably. They have voted to
retain their charter, which means, virtually,
to pay the principal and interest of their
scaled indebtedness. The plan of Tennes-
see, of Arkansas, of Mississippi and of some
other States has been to repudiate such part
of their debt as it has pleased them, with
out consulting the bondholders The Hell
ena people. with just as good excuses for
public reputation as any State ever offered.
have met their creditors manfully, professed
insolvency and agreed on compromise in a
business-like way. In view of all the cir
cumstanees, this is to the credit of both par
ties.

dent The story of career so intimately

My uncle had q small clearing with an ex-
ira Lighthouse, into which we moved. My
first employment was in sugar-making, an
occupation to which | became much at

want of shoes (which, as the snow was deepl
was the only drawback upon my happiness

around my feet, and get along ehopping
wood and gathering sap pretty well.
But when the spring advanced, and bare
ground appeared in spots, threw off the old

read by those better entitled to the privilege
started oil, barefooted, in the SNOW, To OBJ
tain the treasure. There were spots of bare
ground, upon which would stop to warm
my feet. And there were also, along the
road, occasional lengths of log fence from
which the snow had melted, aud u oon which
it was a luxury to walk. The book was at
my promise that it should be neither torn
nor soiled, to lend it to me. In returning
with the prize, | was too happy to think Of

The New Osborne

is tie Binder Of tie present day. After setting.
mp several this season, and comparing their
many points of undoubted merit over other
Binders we are compelled 10 agree that the
ineUitaJle hght-draf improved Appleby Neio Os-
borne Binder is THE BINDER of the present
dan.
THE NEW OSBORNE is a substantial,
strong built and durable Irvine. Binder.
THE NEW OSBORNE is automatical
and controls its.oyerations.
THE NEW OSBORNE is simplicity per-
son!fed, having te'cer parts than any other
binder, and consequently less liable to get
TIE NEW OSBORNE is an erternd
geared machine
THE NEW OSBORNE, on account of its
external gearing, is very light drgh ma
chine
THE NEW OSBORNE knives pass
through three guards to the stroke thus giving
in comparison to other binders third more
poVer with a third less speed.
THE NEW OSBORNE is SO nicely bal
anced by the driver when seated that it can
be tilted without effort so as to carry the
knives o0er stones, or depress them for picking
up lodged grain. 1t is wonderfully efectiUe
in down and tangled grain. 1t can pick up
and save grain that Others can not touch.
THE NEW OSBORNE s binder and but
ter boards are each ddjustdJie.
TIE NEW OSBORNE has the centre
gedred knife aud bohed guards.
THE NEW OSBORNE has the 60 inch
eieeatiOn. We have found from actual expert
ence that the so inch elevation does not snil
the East, and offer TO our farmers binder
with 60 inch elevation, enabling you to Sc
cure your Rye as well as wheat. Please note
this, if not a present it may be n future con-
sideration.
1t affords us pleasure te state that Mr.. II. J.
Case and Il. f. Mills, Company's Agents, re-
port from South America that they have put
the New Osborne to the seUerest test, and il is
doing faithful work, never missing sheaf.
| They cannot detect a single defect.
