day of leisure and enjoyment; and
it is proper enough to make Sunday
day of enjoyment. You go to the
house of God and it is very charm
inc to hear the music. You are in
tellectually fed; and there Is great
pleasure in that. If the discourse is
highly adorned, on taking your leis-
urely walk home you say: sit was
very well put. / do not know as |

in that way before. The peroration
was eloquent. We have a minister
now that is worth listening to. / en-
JOY myself in church very much. "You
sleep through the night, and rise on
Monday morning feeling, "What q
good thing Sunday is !" But you
plunge into the world; and there is
the same selfishness in it that there
was before. "Men are good, bad
and Indifferent" you say; 81 must
attend to myself; l must protect my
self against this one; | must over
bear this one if he stands in my

How Watch Gases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how a watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
lions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case ~ ..,.
which saves the WASTE of need 3 q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLfDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Polled cattle are becoming popular
in this country, it would seem by the
large numbers which are arriving in
this country. Four hundred and six
ty-eight of them arrived at Baltimore
recently in one shipment for a Mis-
souri, breeder. Only one bull calf
was lost on the passage. A previ-
Gus shipment of 400 head was made
for the same parties. These are the
largest shipments of live stock which
have ever been made and probably
the most successful. The larger
ones Of them are young bulls, and
this fact suggests the future effect
upon our cattle interests of this val
liable stock. More than 600 bulls
will be scattered among the herds

Der about the length of pillow beam,
about 4x9 inches at the back end and
tapering to the front to about SKA
inches 1t has wrought iron plate
on the top and under side half an
inch in thickness, bolted to the beam
with a swivel at the front end made
of inch round iron, with an inch
eye-bolt attached to the swivel of
sufficient length to reach through the
cart axle with collar and nut. The
remainder consists of two teeth, one
on each side of the beam, about two
feet long, three inches wide at the
top, three-fourths of an inch thick
and slightly hooking at the point.
These teeth are embedded in the
beam and plates about six inches
from the back end with a five-eighths
inch bolt running through the teeth
beam. The teeth are steel pointed
and spread to about one foot at the
point. The handles are straight
pieces of Wooh 115x2 inches, bolted
through the beam at one end and
running back sufficient length
(about four feet.) The supports fol-
the handles are arms welded on the
top of the teeth, of such length when
bolted to the handles as to be easy
of handling.

a pillow where an iron bar will hold

ROOT GRATING.

Root grating is thu process by
which small apple trees are now
transformed from worthless seedlings
into choice, well tested fruit. Root
grating is an economy of both time
and material, as the work can be
done in the leisure of winter, and
more than one tree can be grown
from a single root. The roots of
Seeding trees are taken from the
ground before cool weather sets in
and are stored in a cool cellar in saw
dust or moss. In the winter these
roots are taken, a few at time, to
the grating room where the grating
is done, after which process they are
again returned to the sawdust, where
they remain until set in the nursery
rows next spring. The grating pro-
cess is that known as "whip' or
''tongue grating" A portion of
the root as large as lead pencil, or
little smaller, is cut off obliquely in
much the same manner as the lower
side of steel pen may imagined to
be beveled off with jack knife.
This cut surface is an inch or one
inch and one half long, evenly cut
and straight. A scion two or three
inches long is cut in the same man
ner, so that its cut surface will apply
on to the cut surface of the root. in
exactly the same manner as two
pens, with the points toward each
other, may be applied to each other
by their bevelled faces. If the pro-
cess proceed no farther than this, it
would be ''spliced grating" and the
scion and stock would be tied and
waxed together with their simple cut
surfaces in contact. To render the
union more complete, however, a
split an inch deep, lengthwise the
scion and above the centre of the
bevelled surface is made, and SIM
liar one is made in the stock or root.
By this split in the bevelled surface
we have divided it into two parts,
the upper one of which being the
smaller, is the s'tongue OF whip. +"
This tongue is inserted into the split
In the opposite piece, either stock OF
scion, the two bevelled faces are
brought closely together, as before
and the union is firm and complete.
All the work must be done with a
keen-edged knife, so that the surface
may be clearly and smoothly cut.
Care must be taken in putting scion
and stock together that the inner
bark of the scion exactly matches,
on one side at least, the inner bark
of the stock. The scion and stock
are now dashed firmly together by
waxed Irvine and the grating is
done. 1t is not necessary to wind
the Irvine closely, as the earth about
the cut surfaces will exclude the all
and afford protection. Small pieces
of root can in this manner be fur.
