if the same want of diversified indus
tries continues, it will grow worse and
worse for the farmer. His produce
will go still lower and never rise again
unless some extraordinary demand by
great wars or famine abroad should
temporarily createIit. Already wheat
growing is extending, with modern ma.
chinery in the vast fields of India and
Australia, and their grain is laid down
in Europe at low figures. Our West
ern boundary Of civilization and cul-
ture is enlarging at a rapid rate in
steady strides. And still there are
thousands of our farmers who cling to
old Bourbon, tossilized ideas on tariff
protection, senselessly cry out that they
are oppressed and ground down, when
never in their lives haYe they purchas-
ed what they need at such low prices.
If they really wish to ruin themselves
efectually, they have only to continue
their wars upon manufactures and d.
versiied labor, and upon railroads, the
great carriers and extensors of civiliza-
ton, and broaden snd widen their farms,
and raise more grain than they can
consume or sell, and they will reach a
depth of poverty sure enough. Their
present political ideas will bring their
wheat down to twenty-five cents bush.
ell or nothing. They should abjure the
false teachings of their political leaders
and think for themselves for a few
years. Let President making and
Governor making alone and rely upon
themselves for a season.
What we really need now is fewer
farmers, more manufacturers, more
railroads, and, as certain result, a
bigger home market for what we raise.
We are no prophet of evil in giving
our opinion that the farmers of Ameri.
ca have received the last dollar pei
bushel that they ever will get. THAI
day has passed never to return.

He is expected to keep things neat and
orderly, sometimes kindle fires or do
errands-in short to become a part of

everything moves in systematic grooves

place of ministers to his comfort, he
finds taskmasters, more or less

then patience is overtasked, and the
boy is told his services are no longer

sometimes he never rallies from it.
Then comes the surprise of the parents,
who too often never know the real
cause, nor where they have failed in
the training of their children.
What is wanted, is for every boy to
have something special to do; to have
some duty at definite hour, and to
learn to watch for that time to come;
to be answerable for q certain portion
of the routine of the household !; to be

Train the Boys to Business.

There is one element in the home
instruction of our boys to which too
little attention has been given and
that is the cultivation of habits of
punctuality, system, order and resposi.
bility.
In many households boys lives be-
tween twelve and seventeen years are
generally the calmest of their existence.
Up in the morning just in season for
breakfast; nothing to do but to start
off early enough not to be late; looking
upon an errand as taking so much time
and memory away from enjoyment
little thought of personal appearance
except when reminded by mother tc

robe always where mother puts it; in
fact, having nothing to do but enjoy
himself. Thus his life goes on unit

point he perhaps meets his first grea

have too many farmers and too few in

greater home market. If we all or a
larger portion farm, we have but few

Printing Carriage Woodwork.

The Drugman.
1t is very essential that the first coat
put on wood should be LAID on properly,
and the wood should also be in proper
shape to receive the paint. We will
suppose we have some factory made
wheels to prime. These are often al
lowed to stand around some time in the
factory after being made, and quite
often the place they stand in is damp.
Then they sometimes get damp in ship
ment.
If we look at these wheels closely we
will see that the grain has raised, and
especially on dark cOlored spokes, we
will see little fibers from quarter to
one inch in length. By taking PEN
knife and working around these fibers
we will generally find them loose.
Some just hang on the wood by little
thread, and will fall off by being touch.
ed. At the butt of the spokes we will
find the grain raised, because the ends
are more exposed than any other part.
Now, if we prime these without
sanding or getting them off, these little
parts will work loose some time, and
the paint will 60 with them. We will
take for example, second or third
grade buggy made in large factory.
They are painted as quickly and cheap
ly as possible, and, therefore, are meyer
sanded off before printing. After one
Of them has been used from six to
twelve months you will see the little
bare places, up and down the spokes
Some will be half all inch and others
over one inch in length, and none over
a sixteenth of an inch wide. They
were loose or partly so when the paint
was applied, and the vibrations of the
spoke has shaken it off because there
was nothing to hold it to the wood.
If the coats of paint had been elastic
all the way through it might have held
on. When water gets into these places
it raises the paint around the edges lit.
tie by little and it jars of, till by and
by there are large spots bare, and
finally half of the wheel becomes so.
Generally the first coat of printing is
all saDded of, and some painters stick
to the idea that they can smooth the
grains and paint at the same time.
Well they can to certain extent, but
not enough. If the wood is smooth
when the paint goes on it doesn't take
so long to smoothe paint down.
If wheel of wood has not come di.
rect from the woodworker never allow
bit Of paint to go on till it is sanded
and every grain cut off.
A wheel should be sanded with No.
2 paper, and the spoke must be rubbed
a little crOsswise, while the hub should
be rubbed only crosswise. After piece
of paper has become so it will not cut
well, lay it aside to use on the first coat
of lead. 1t is better than new paper
for lead, as it doesn't scratch the wood
so much or take the paint out of the
hollow places.
If possible, the lead should be ground
fine and thinned with good raw oil and

A Serious Accident.

Last Wednesday afternoon Mrs John
Peters, Mrs. James Peters and two
small children were riding along Oh
the Kent road in a top buggy, when
their vehicle was run into and upset,
throwing them to the ground, seriously
injuring Mrs. John Peters, fracturing
her collar bone and one or two ribs.
The horse becoming frightened made
bad work, the buggy being almost en-
tirely demolished. 1t is a great won.
der that some of the party were not
killed outright. Dix, the man who
ran into them, is said to handle fast
horses, and in this case at least, seems
to have had little regard for the rights
of others in the highway, as there was
sufficient space to turn out. A lesson
judiciously administered to this class
of persons occasionally would tend to
render travel on the highway more
safe. ~

they covered ''the whole duty Of man. y
1t was with his consent and wish that
they, with brotherly hands, bore him to
his last resting place, and with their r1tu-
al that he was consigned, "earth to earth,
dust to dust" Mr.. Ward was, however,
not simply II lnoralist. His faith took in
the great mediator. Man is too far gone
from original righteousness to recover
himself by his own unassisted endeavors;
so while he attached, high Importance
to right-doing, he nevertheless held that
sby the deeds of the law no man living
can be justified" i p
The funeral, which took place on the
Wednesday next following his death, was
largely attended, not only by his friends
and neighbors of Ravenna, but by many
from distance. Akron, Kent, Randolph,
Rootstown, Mantlla, and other places
sent forth members to pay their last trib-
ute of respect The Rev. j. Tribby had
charge of the religious exercises of the
occasion, assisted by Rev. r. NJ. Fresh

a safe and pleasant voyage across the

one, as the Ems is an elegant vessel,
launched last year, and furnished with
the best of accommodations. He goes
by ticket purchased from J. H. Dussel

An Important Notice to Land own.
crs and Editors of Newspapers.


crs and Editors of Newspapers.
The historic remains of Ohio are becoming
rapidly obliterated by the plow. and soon ac-
curatc description will be impossible. Explora-
tionS are often made of sepuchral mounds and
other works by persons only partly qualified, and
objects of interest found in them are kept for a
time as curiosities. and finally lost. These relics
are of little scientific value. except when gather
ed into large collections, and when the precise
manner and place of their deposit are accurately
preserved. Major Powell. in charge Of the Uni
ted States Bureau of Ethnology, has authorized
thorough and scientific exploration and survey
of these works, without expense to the Arch@ol-
ogists of the State only asking their cooperation
and the aid of land owners in the way of perns-
sion to make thorough explorations. All persons
in the State having knowledge of pre- historic
earth works, Notifications, mounds burial
places in their neighborhood, are earnestly re-
quested to send to some of the undersigned
statement of their character and location, and
when the places are visited by the employees of
the chronological Bureau, to aid them in their
work and TO secure the permission of land own
ers to the thorough exploration of all works
found on their premises. All articles found In
the explorations will be deposited in the Museum
of the Smithsonian Institute becoming the prop
erty of the United States, and accessible without
expense to all students of American Ethnology,
Facsimile casts of all interesting finds will be
deposited in some central museum in the State of
Ohio.
Editors of all Newspapers in the State respe-
cially requested to give this circular place in
their columns. and to call editorial attention to
it, By SO doing. they will greatly aid in an i'm
portant work, and help secure a long desired ex-
ploration. with the ultimate publication of the
results Work will be commenced in July.
