J. P. BEHRING'S ADJUSTABLE CAST STEE
 FLOW POINT AND SHARE COMBINED,

Made of piece of cas-steel tempered through cannot break and has the cutting properties ofd an axe chisel is easily adjusted without bolts in half minute, runs levef on point and wing, the pressure being equally distributed, sharp, be relaid on the point at trifing cost, few of the many reasons why this Share is much cheaper in point of work, draft, durability and economy other metal shares that no intelligent farmer would use anything else after trial of this Steel Slip Share. Its utility is apparent on sight.
 One Share, Price Sl.50, is guaranteed to OUT WEAR or of the best metal classes, doing the work better.
 As lay for steel blow, one Share will outwear two or three lays.
 Being cast steel tempered, it cuts clear furrow, shaving off briars, roots thstles, c, does not tear off three to four inches of furrow, buI cuts it away, preventing mould board from wedgng into iurrow, necessarily causing lighter draft horses, and leav ing perfect garden walk in the furrow. Running on a level, from point to heel of wing, it always adheres to the ground, keeping the blow steady, easing man and team and further ightens draft.
 The point does not dubb or round off, but wears sharp the pressure being equally distributed point and wing is why it lasts SO much longer. When the point becomes too much worn it can he relald at trifiing cost by any blacksmith.

The Distinguished Senator a. . Stamp
Collector.
Charles Sumner was one of Americas
greatest statesmen, and found him to
be one of the kindest men in the world.
He was an ideal American gentleman,
was always polite to every one, and l
never heard HIM utter cross or hasty
word. He had an extensive correspon-
dence and received letters from all
parts of the globe. At one time, while
was page, ] had a mania for gather
ing stamps, and as those on many of
his letters were very rare, asked the
Senator if he would kindly put the en-
velopes in his desk, 50 that could get
them, instead of tearing up and throw
ing them on the floor. He said he
would save them for me with pleasure,
and, sure enough, the next day he came
to the Senate with large collar-box in
his hand. He put this in the drawer Of
his desk, and whenever he. opened an
envelope with foreign stamp attached.
he would tear of the stamp and de-
post it in the box. Several weeks
afterward he called me to him and
handed me the box, filled with the
choicest and most curious collection,
saying: Now, if you win empty the
box, will fill it again for you" And
he was true to his word. / have met
hundreds of eminent men in my life;
none, however, more prominent or with
more cares to burden or distract their
thoughts than this grand Senator from
Massachusetts; yet think few Of them
would, under similar circumstances,
have gone to so much trouble merely to
humor the within of q boy.--Ednand

THE SKIN.
To What the Color and Discolorations of
the Skin Are Due.

To What the Color and Discolorations of
the Skin Are Due.
The color of the skin is due to 'pig
ment' paint sccreted by glands at the
bottom of the cuticle, or scarf-skin.
On this pigment depends the color that
marks different races. Even the fair
est of the white race have more or less
of it. Its entire absence of it in the
negro gives us the albino-sometimes
seen on exhibition-with strangely
white skin, white hair and pink eyes.
This coloring matter is confined to the
scarf-skin (cuticle.) The true skin
(cutis Uera) has the same color in the
Caucasian. Asiatic and African.
Sometimes the coloring matter, in
stead of being equally diffused, is in
creased in quantity In spots and patch
es; or, falling to be secreted in patches,
is augmented in the contiguous parts.
In no case, however, does anything
more than slight deformity to the
eye result.
The most familiar form is that of
freckles. These are confined to per-
sons of fair complexion. Such are often
born with a sure tendency to them. so
THAI dppthl SfCh III
ers freckle only when much exposed to
the sun. Even the former have
their freckles intensified by exposure.
Both need to avoid undue exposure.
The latter may be wholly relieved, but
it is not so with the former.
Tawny patches. ayellowish-
brown, begin as small round discolora-
tions, which enlarge and become more
or less irregular in outline. They do
not generally appear before adult age.
They are much more common in wom-
en-. They occur, however in men. In
both they may be caused by exposure
to the sun, in which case they disappear
in winter. In women, they are often
due to certain arrangements. the cor
rection of which will remove them.
The physician can aid their removal by
a wash for the skin.
Blanched patches.-These appear as
small white dots, which slowly in
crease in size Their edges are clearly
defined. As they get larger, the sur
rounding skin becomes darker. 1t is
common among the dark races, and
among the dark complexioned of the
white race. 1t gives us the .'piebald'
negro. No known treatment arrests
it. Sometimes, however. it disappears
spontaneously, to reappear at future

Yes; to whom would you like to

.'Well, there are ever and ever so

But you must choose one," inter-
rupted mamma.
Grace wrinkled up her forehead and
thought Among SO many it was, in

face frightened. ss1'll send one to

read:

''Oh, it's lovely" cried Grace. Its

solemnly.
Mamma looked up surprised. where

.'Oh, Katy said it. replied Grace.
That's what she said about her valen-
tine. She's going to send it to her
s'Well, now" said mamma, s.I1l
copy this, and then you shall print your
name to it, and we'll go out and you
shall drop it into the box yourself.
And mamma went out with her and
lifted her up, and Grace dropped the
precious valentine into the green box.
The next day, which was the 18th OF
February, grandma got it. She opened
and read it.
.'Dear hearth she said, .'do just
listen, father;' and she read it aloud to
grandpa. Then she went out into the
kitchen and read it to Betsy Jane. And
then she put it under the corner Of q

every neighbor who came in had to
