TEACHING THE G1RLs.-Give your daugh-
ters thorough education. Teach them to
cook and prepare the food Of the house
hold. Teach them to wash, to iron, and
darn stockings, TO sew on buttons, to make
their own dresses. Teach them to make
bread, and that a good kitchen lessons the
doctors account, Teach them that he only
lays up money whose expenses are less
than his income, and that all grow poor
who have TO spend more money than they
receive. Teach them that calico dress
paid for fits better than silken one unpaid
for. Teach them that full. healthy face
displays more luster than fifty cosmetic
beauties Teach them to purchase, and see
that the account corresponds with the pur-
chase. Teach them good common sense,
selfhelp and industry. Teach them that
an honest mechanic in his working dress is
better object of esteem than dozen
naughty, finely-dressed idlers. Teach them
gardening and the pleasures of nature
Teach them, if you can afford it, music
painting, etc, but to consider them as sec
ondary objects only. Teach them that the
happiness of matrimony depends neither
on external appearances nor on wealth, but
on the mans character Toledo Blade

WHEATLAND FLOUR!

ONE OF THE ALL-ABS0RBINGr AND IN
" portaut questions that are continually
arising 10 the consumer, is the question. Are the
results OF q New Process All Roller Milling III
the manufacture of -four q success2 And what
is there about IL that we have been taxed such
enormous prices as We have paid in the last
year for our -four? or is il the system we have
paid for2 Is the bread we now use on our table
better bread than we used TO have? And if so,
in what respect? Every housekeeper and
every good bread-maker will sum the whole
whittier. But at the same time they all CON-
plain, and say they know but don't see the
reason why their bread dries out so much
quicker than used 70. That it seems to them
that they never have any fresh bread anv more
TO use on their table; and that cake made of the
-four is almost too dry to eat after il is one
day old. These are very grave and serious con-
siderations, and affect all mankind. And from
nearly every hamlet and housekeeper we hear
the anxious inquiry Where can we get some of
the good Old Stone Flour which we used 10
have? Do tell me and l viii have some of it at
any price, for We are tired, sick and disguised
with dry bread, or being put to the trouble of
baking once or twice q day in order to keep our
tables supplied with bread that is at all palat-
able. The Wheauand Mill Company are es-
pecially well situated to supply this demand,
their mill being in one of the choicest wheat
belts in the State. They are also prepared to do
business on Live and Let Live " principles,
having no hundreds of thousands of dollars of
capital invested in immense snowy and expen-
sive buildings and machineTy, upon all of which
the hungry stockholders expect every year to
make good round sum on their investment.
Give them a call and satisfy yourself Tell your
grocer that you must have the Wheatland Flour.

GLAss-MAKING.-In the manufacture of
glass fifty years ago % pounds of potash
and 26 pounds Of wood ashes were used to
every 100 pounds of sand. The first change
from this was to burn the potash in an
oven, and work it as a puddler does iron
in order to obtain better results, and this
was used with lime in about the same pro-
portion as potash and wood ashes above
named. Soda ash was first used in New
Jersey, but its introduction in Western
factories was rapid, and the mix was
changed to 80 pounds of soda ash and %
pounds of lime to 100 pounds of sand
The proportions vary greatly with circum-
stances and the quality of the ingredients
used. The following is fair statement of
the mix now mostly used Soda ash, 40
pounds; lime, 30 pounds; sand 100 pounds
For salt cake, 80 pounds; soda ash, 10
pounds, lime, 80 pounds; pulverized char
coal, q pounds; arsenic, II pounds; sand,
100 pounds. If the glass is muddy the
charcoal is reduced. If too green charcoal
is added and arsenic reduced

Among the many peculiar customs in

Fairs, and No Fairs

Twelve hundred fairs are to be held in
the States and Territories this autumn. In
view Of the great importance of the county
and other local fairs we are surprised to
learn from our responses that there are
nearly 400 counties (397), in which no fairs
will be held this year. These counties are
distributed among the States as follows:
