The Rye Straw Car Wheel.

The paper wheel may be larger than
the ordinary iron wheel or it may be the
same size. Its perpendicular surface,
however, is always studded with bolt
heads. Its surface is never corrugated
nor irregular like that of the iron wheel.
The paper of a paper car wheel is moth.
ing more nor less than ordinary brown
straw board. That made wholly of rye
straw is preferable. The boards are cut
into discs, and holes in the center are
punched large enough to fit the iron
axle shoulder that constitutes the hub of
the wheel. Thus shaped, the straw
boards are placed one upon another with
ordinary flour paste, till pile of them
about five inches high is attained. They
are put under an hydraulic press and
squeezed together as tightly as it is prac-
ticable to compress matter of the con-
sistencv of straw board. The pressure
is so great as to generate many degrees
of heat in the compressed board. After
being thoroughly dried, the paper wheel
is turned on a lathe to fit the heavy steel
tire and shell into which it is inserted
to form the core of the wheel. 1t is
held firmly in its place by an iron plate,
the size of the inner surface of the wheel,
and by bolts. In short, the paper of a
paper car wheel is simply a core or fill
inc in a shell of steel, the outer rim or
tire that runs on the track being nearly
two inches thick. The virtue of the
paper consists in the fact that it gives
elasticity to the wheel. The durability
of paper wheel, on account Of this
elasticity. is computed to be many
thousand of miles greater than that of
the ordinary iron WheeI.-N 7. ECea5-

HIS MOTHERS SONGS.
BY MRS. e. v. WILSON.

Beneath the hot midsummer sun.
The men had marched all day;
And now beside ripping stream,
Upon the grass they lay.
firing of games and idle jests,
AS swept the hours along:
They called to one who unused apart,
''COmc, friend, give MS a song.'
II fear cannot please" he said,
"rhc only songs know.
Are those my mother used to sing
For me long years ago.
Sing one of those a rough voice cried,
There's none but true men here.
TO every mothers son of us
mothers songs are dear
When sweetly rose the singers voice
Amid unwonted calm,
"Am ! q soldier of the Cross,
a follower Of the Lamb
land shall fear to own His Cause
The very stream was Stillcd,
And hearts that never throbbed with fear
With tender thoughts were filled.
Ended the song; the singer said,
AS to his feet he rose,
THANKS to you all, my friends, good night
God grant us sweet rcpose."
'Sing US one MORE" the Captain begged,
The soldier rent his head,
Then glanciyg round; with smiling lips,
''YOu'll jim with me" he said.
swell sing this old familiar air,
Sweet as.the bugle call.
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall
All, wondrous was the old tunes spell
AS on the singer sang;
Man after man fell into line,
And loud the voices rang.
The songs are done, the camp is still,
Nlu0lt but the stream is heard;
But an, the depths Of every soul
BY those old hymns are stirred.
And up from many bearded lip,
In whispers soft and low,
Rises the prayer the mother taught
The boy long years ago.

NEW FIRM.-The1 law. collection. an

NEW FIRM.-Thel law, collection, and
real estate business of r. B. Wheeler was
yesterday transferred to new hands
This consern was started by Sherman
Page and E. 0. Wheeler under the name
OF Page g. Wheeler" in January, 1866
After Page was elected Judge, the Wheel
er Brothers-EO. & R. B.-continued the
business, until E. O. removed to Auburn,
N. Y, since which time Rush B. has been
alone.
Yesterday Tuesday) Mr.. Wheeler sold
his business, office fixtures and goodwill
to Messrs. William E. Richardson, Frank
A. Day and Luverne A. Pierce-the new
firm to be known as Richardson, Day &
Pierce"
We are informed by Mr.. Richardson
that the new firm will continue the same
business as the old, that of law, collec
tons, and real estate. They also hope to
infuse new life and vigor into the concern,
and to show the people Of Austin that
they are warmly interested in every en-
terprise which will build up the town.
Mr.. Richardson will have charge of the
collections for the firm. We understand
that "Will' is first class in this line, being
not only honorable in his dealings, but
wide awake, energetic and thorough in
everything he undertakes. His last few
years of experience is of great value to
him. 'Will' has grown up among US from
a boy, and large success in his first bust
ness venture will be the sincere wish of
his Austin friends.
Frank A. Day will give the insurance
and loan departments personal super
vision. Mr.. Day, too, is a young man,
and of most excellent qualities He has
had several years experience in this branch
of business-and certainly it can he said
that he is the right man in the right place.
L. A. Pierce, as all attorney, will attend
to the legal department. Mr.. Pierce is a
newcomer among us, settling in Austin
less than year ago, therefore it will not
be out of place to speak of his past record.
He comes from Auburn, N. y, bringing
with him the highest of testimonials as to
honorable character and success in his
profession. He is pronounced good
citizen, a good friend, and good lawyer.
Although young man, he has had five
years experience as an attorney in Au-
burn, during two years of that time being
city attorney of Auburn. He has made
many friends during his short residence
here, and is highly regarded among his
brethren of the bar.
We are sure the new firm ha re the good
will Of our citizens, and the TRANSCRIPT
improves this opportunity to extend to
Messrs. Richardson, Day s. Pierce its
best wishes for success.

that only the best seed be sown. and to
this end much attention should be given.
A great many weeds are unintentionally
sown with the various field and garden
seeds. The number of weed seeds sold
with those OF clover is very large. In
this way Eastern weeds have been intro
duced into Western States. 1t is not an
easy matter to detect some of the weed
seeds. and therefore the farmer should
buy where he feels certain that only pure
seed is sold. The seed should be of the
best varieties. plump and sound, and free
from "foul stuff" Let every farmer now
see that such seed is at hand when seed
time comes.
