quently spoken of the difficulty of knowing
the m OF streets as they now stand. Only
q month ago an ordinance was passed by the
council with the wrong name assigned to a
street. The corrections were made by the
printer, but 1t shows the confusion that exists
when the council will pass and the MAYOR
sign an ordinance designating a street by y
name which is not It's own, but which does
belong to another street in the city. Besides
the great convenience that would follow the
numbering of the streets from west To east IT
would sOund;well rs the % streets which cross
the city would give strangers II better idea of
the extent Of the town than could be present.
ed In any other way. For instances, Main
Cross, by number would be 10Th street.
Few even OF our W citizens realize that
Main CROSSE Is 10 blocks from the river. Then.
il numbered, there would be no trouble to
remember tho designations of the cross
streets, whereas as it now stands there Is not
one person in Il dozen that knows their
names even the city officers being ignorant
of q majority of them. If this is done then some
simple system Of names can be adopted for
the streets running east and west, presidents
names, names OF states, or something of
that kind, that will serve the double pur-
pose of defining streets, and of reminding
people that such names exist, and what they
signify. We hope our city fathers will take
kindly TO this recommendation, and act upon
it promptly.

She average physician is a hard one.
He is often compelled to ride great
distances through mud and rain for Il

proper for us to condemn any phySi-

that his practice can be made easier,
and he can effect more cures by the
proper and judicious use of Peru'1d.
If he will only add this great remedy
to his list of medicines, he will find
that his usefulness will be greatly in
creased. Full directions for its use
will be found in the ILLS of Life"

Readers of Hawthorne's blouse of Seven
Cables will recall the pathos with which
poor Clifford Pyncheon, who had been un-
justly imprisoned since his early manhood
said, after his release: MY life is gone, and
where is my happiness? Oh! give me my
happiness" But that could be done only in
part, as CLEANS of warm sunshine occasional

Mr.. f. 5 Wells who needs no introduction

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER
To all Whiting Employment.

We want live, Energetic and Cap
able Agents in every county in the
United States and Canada, to sell a
patent article of great merit, ON IT'S
MERITS. An article having a large
sale, paying over 100 per cent. profit,
having no competition, and on which
the agent is protected in the exclu-
sive sale by deed given for each and
every county he may secure from us.
With all these advantages to our
agents, and the fact that it is an ar
ticIe that can he sold to every house
owner, it might not be necessary to
make an "EXTRAORDINARYO OFFER"
to secure good agents at once, hut we
have concluded to make ii to show.
not only our confidence in the merits
of our invention, but in its STABILITY
by any agent that will handle it with
energy. Our agents now at work are
making from $50 to 5000 "a month
clear, and this fact makes ii safe for
us to make our offer to all who are
out of employment. Any agent that
will give our business a thirty days
trial and fail to clear at least 500 in
this time, ABOVE ALL EXPENSES can
return all goods unsold to us and we
will refund the money paid for them.
Any agent or General Agent who
would like ten or more counties and
work them through sub agents for
ninety days, and fail to clear at least
$3.50 ABOVE ALL EXPENSES, can re-
turn all unsold and get their money
back. No other employment of ag
ents ever dared to make such offers
nor would we if we did not know
that we have agents now making
more than double the amount we
guaranteed, and but two sales day
would give a profit Of over Sl25 a
month, and that one of our agents
took eighteen orders in one day. Our
large descriptive circulars explain our
offer fully, and these we wish to send
to every one out of employment who
will send us three one cent stamps for
postage. Send at once and secure the
agency in time for the boom, and go
to work on the terms named in our
extraordinary offer. We would like
to have the address Of all the agents,
sewing machine solicitors and carpen-
tiers in the country, and ask any
reader of this paper who reads this
offer, to send us ut once the name and
address of all such they know. ADJ

How Boys Marbles are Made.

As the hOys are husily engaged at
playing marbles no doubt it will be
of interest to them to know how they
are made. Almost all the marbles"
with which boys everywhere amuse
themselves in season and out of seas
on, en- pavements and in shady spots,
are made at Oterstein, Germany
There are large agate quarries and
mills in that neighborho0d, and the
refuse is turned to good account in
providing the small stone balls for
experts to "knuckle" with. The
stone is broken into small cubes Ivy
blows of a light hammer. These
small blocks of stones are thrown by
the shovelful into the hopper of Il
small mill, formed of hedstone, hay
ing its surface grooved with cOncen-
eric burrows; above this is the "rur-
ner," which is of some hard wood
having a level face OH its lower sur
face. The upper block is made to re.
volYe rapidly, water being delivered
upon the grooves of the bedston !
where the marbles are being round
ed. 1t takes about fifteen minutes to
finish bushel ofgood marbles, ready
for the boys knuckles. One mill will
turn out 100000 marbles per week.
The very hardest "crackers," as the
boys call them, are made by slower
process, somewhat analogous. how
ever, to the other.
