In Artificial Limbs,


There is in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, n
manufacturing company, every member
of which wears an artificial leg. Their
limbs are so perfectly made, and so near
like the natural member, that II Is diff
cult to tell that they are artificial. The
company is the Artificial Limb Manu-
featuring company, corporation that
has national reputation for the periec-
ton of its work. The limbs made at this
mandatory are the most perfect and
satisfactory of any made in the United
States. Hon. w. w. Dudley, United
States commissioner of pensions, has for
years worn limb made by this COM
pany, and adds his testimonials To hun
dreds of others. Send for descriptive
circular to 20 Penn avenue, Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. See advertisement in
another column OF to-day's HERALD.

Wonderful and Invaluable,

So far as water cleansing and water
and milk cooling are concerned, one
happy thought, combining two OF ma;
lures laws-capillary attraction and
evaporation-has almost changed our
hot summers 10 winters, On the same
scientific principle that Ice is made,
milk Is kept up In the hot summer air
twenty-four hours, cold and perfectly
sweet, without any expense whatever.
Then what train of blessings follow;
our dairios and gem buckets are our
agents, one tried sells hundreds. Pat

The stone-Boat.

President Mccain, of The Elmira Far
mers' Club not long ago spoke highly of
the convenience of the old-iashioned
stone-boat, and thought it could hardly
be improved. But recent writer says
an fAprHelnent On tie spne boat h1
many respects Is asled having funnefs
eight or ten inches broad and shaped Just
like the ordinary stone boat bottom.
These draw much easier on soft ground,
as there is less surface for friction, while
the runner is still wide enough not to
cut deeply into Stha ground. For most
purposes the sled should be built foot or
fifteen inches high, 30 that it can pass
small distractions without hitting them.
