Cases about ten months ago, and the
other day it came back to me with thc
request to make il wind easier. On
examination found that the stem W.T..
rusty, and ! inquired into the cause or it.
The gentlemen stated TO me that he was
starting ON saw-logs that had lodged
in the bend of the river. when his chain
caught in Il bu.h and threw his watch
into about twelve feet of water, and he
was about two hours finding it. When
he got it M it was running and he
thought all right. In about three
months he found that the stem vas hard
to turn and sent it to me.

company claims for il and recommend
it to railroad and mill men.

An Improbable Statement.

at is reported that the Postmaster-G General
is about to make a decision in regard to the
class of newspapers known as patent out:
sides, insides' or cooperative that will
necessarily cause large number of local
papers, of the smallest circulation and least
influence, to suspend publication. His reason
for so doing is that the papers being printed
on one side in the cities, and then sold by the
quire to thousands of country publishers,
who print the other half at home, is sufficient
evidence that such papers are not self-sus.
tanning, and in accordance has about decided
to exclude all sucf! from the mails as second.
class matter. There are about 200 such pub
locations issued in this country, and if the
ruling goes into effect about 5000 would sus-
pend, while the remaining 1000 of the better
class of temperatures would be greatly
strengthened, and could then afford to pub
lish the whole of their papers; so, in the end.
the press, advertisers and the public would
The foregoing item, which has ap-
peared in country paper published al
Sidney, o., is another evidence of the
vindictiveness of some publishers where
the cooperative papers affect their re.
ceipts for advertising and subscription.
Section of the Postal Law, approved
June %, 1874, says: THAT newspapers,
one copy to each actual subscriber, re-
siding within the county where the same
are printed, in whole or in part, and
published, shall go free through the
mails; but the same shall not be deliv-
cred at letter-carrier offices or distrib-
uted by carriers unless postage is paid
thereon as by law provided" From
this it will be seen that the Postmaster
Generals rulings have been anticipated
by the National Congress, and the pro-
posed decision would be illegal and Of
no effect. Chicago Banner.

Baby Clothes.

These should be suspended from the
shoulder SO soon as the child begins to
sit alone. This period varies in dis-
ferent children, some being able to sit
alone much earlier than others. The
waists of the skirts should be made
with shoulder straps and the waists
should be fastened together with but
tons and not with pins. Where safety
pins are used in dressing very young
children they should be so placed. as NOT
to press into the tender flesh of the
child when it is lying down. 1t takes
very little discomfort of this sort to
make baby uneasy and fretful, and
why should a baby's clothes be tight
around it? Every mother knows how
the little thing loves to be undressed at
night and get into its loose night wraps
Why should it not be happy in loose
clothes all the time? Pigs and calves
and puppies and kittens need bandag-
ing Just as much as babies do. The
wee thing can be kept warm without
being compressed. Some sensible
mothers do not load their babies down
with very long dresses, making them
just long enough to keep the baby's
feet warm. Stockings and shoes do
this, and the sooner q child is put into
short clothes the sooner it walks and
gets the use of its limbs. A child who
develops rapid growth in bone Sd ould
not be forced into walking or it wiil be-
come bow-legged. , The child knows
when it is able to sit alone and to walk,
and viii Indicate this in an unmistak-
able way if it is carefully watched.
