regularly a little distance apart, and the
insterstices between are filled up with char
coal, with which the bars themselves are
covered about an inch.
Similar layers of bars are laid on these,
each covered with charcoal until the chests
are filled. They are then covered to depth
of six inches with luting of damp clay or
from the end of the chest, which may by
examination from time to time give indi-
cations of the progress of the operation.
The furnace heat around the chest is now
raised to 1,l06o Fahrenheit-the point found
| to be necessary to effect the carburatlon-
and is maintained at this point for eight or
ten days, or even longer, the period de-
pending on the thickness of the iron and
the degree of hardness desired in the steel.
At the end of the time the fire is gradu-
ally put out, and the bars allowed to cool by
degrees, which takes some ten days or more.
The iron is now transformed into steel, but
it is not of uniform texture. 1t is made
homogeneous by breaking it up into small
pieces, fusing it in fire-clay crucible and
then casting it in molds. This yields the
best and hardest steel known, but as it is
very brittle when brought to a red heat,
very great careis needed in manufacturing It,
HAPPY MARRIAGE, HAPPY HOME
pSoPAS
marry simply for beauty. Beauty often is
only skin-deep, and serves as veneering to
cover up deformed heart and soul. Some
of the most homely persons we have met
are inWardly the most beautiful. Such
was Annie Steele, the tender poetess of Eng
land. Such was Watts, the great poet, of
whom lady said that she admired the
jewel but abhorred the casket. Seek, then,
for partner in life who possesses the inner
beauties of virtue, truth and true affection.
Such will cause the countenance to be all
radiant, not with cosmetics, but with that
which abide amid the stern realities of life:
1t is mistake to marry simply for social
position. This marrying of surroundings
rather than partner is the bane of married
life. For young man to marry from such
base motive is simply to add one to the
family, but that one is often consummate
fool, and cat and dog life is generally the
consequence. Those who marry simply ex-
ternal surroundings deserve nothing better
than selfish, calculating, designing wo.
man, who will shoot missiles of anguish and
sorrow into their souls all through life.
Motives of wealth too often operate in the
selection of life partners. This is the case
in respect to both sexes. "Did she marry
well?" is often asked-that is, did she mar
ry long, full purse? No matter how hon
est, industrious, respectable he may be-.
There are no terms strong enough to eX-
press contempt for any two legged-creature
who, not having inherited wealth and not
work with cool deliberation to marry it..
This having one eye on a woman and the
other on her purse is base hypocrisy. The
mistocles said he would rather marry his
daughter to man without money, than to
money without the man.

A POPULAR MEDICAL NOTION.-Among
the modern medical whimsies is that of
medication by pads. Some external appli-
cations are of use, and because they are,
quacks and people are ready to believe their
assertions that their particular pad will
perform wonderful cures. The circular OF
one of these pads shows it to be reciprocal
ting, back-action affair, as it both draws
disease from the body and sends its curative
influence into the system. Much of the
belief in medication by pads, rests upon the
fact that pad which is not medicated is
often of real service. Let one apply to any
part of the body piece of rubber cloth, or
oiled silk, or other waterproof and air
proof material and bind it in place. At
the end of few hours, he will be sur
prised to find the material dripping wet,
from the confirming of the insensible perspi-
ration. The surface thus covered will be
in a soft, parboiled condition, while any
neuralgia or rheumatic pain that may have
been located in the spot thus covered, will
be likely to disappear. 1t is not necessary
for pad, in order to be useful, to contain
silver medicines" or even horse-radish.
Let those who are tempted to pay high
price for medicated pads, first see what
virtue there is in an unmedicated piece of
rubber or similar material.-Anlericdn Ag-
ricUtlTiSt.

A GREAT ADVERTISERS METHODS
Bonner, shortly after purchasing the Ledger,
began to advertise it in the most eXtraor-
dinary fashion. His displays in the news
papers were such as to cause wonder as to
how he was to ever get his money back.
On one occasion he went to the Herald with
a six line advertisement, announcing new
story by Sylvanus Cobb, ("What Has Be-
come of Him ?') which he wanted printed
in the centre of each of six columns OF
page of the Herald "Joe" Elliott was then
the publisher of the Herald, and Bonner,
so am told, asked if he could have a page
of the Herald "Certainly," said Elliott,
"You can have two" Cant have four"
asked Bonner, who was rather nettled by
Elliott's manner. "Certainly," was the re-
piy. sThen IN take eight" said Bonner.
THAT meant the publication of two papers
of the usual size, and Elliott had to consult
with Frederick Hudson, the managing ed
itor, before answering BOnner's bluff. My
recollection is that Bonner gothis eightpages.
When his big advertisement appeared, a
repetition on eight pages OF six line agate
advertisement, Mr.. Bonner's minister call
ed at the Office of the Ledger and remon-
strated with him for his extravaganza in
advertisement in this manner. Finally he
said: "Mr. Bonner, why do you do such
thing?" The reply had a good deal of com
mon sense in it. because I wanted to
make YOU come here and indicate by your
renenstrance that you had read it on every
page"
think Mr.. Bonner is one of the most sa-
gacious advertisers / have ever known.
And he always uses the newspapers. No
posters no circulars; no letters: only SEN
sational advertising in the newspapers.

A SAMPLE CHAPTER OF THE NEW b.
BLE.-The general character of the revision
of the Old Testament may be thus summa-
rized: First, there is practically no attempt
to establish a new original text. Second,
the prose is printed in paragraphs, and the
poetry, even if only short snatches of song,
is printed in separate lines. Third, the
rythm is undisturbed and the literary value
is enhanced. Among the lighter touches OF
the revision are those that occur in the we'll
known passage whichcis here given as re-
vised: '"But 1 know that my Redeemer
liveth, and that he shall stand up at the
last u pom the earth, and after my skin has
been thus destroyed, yet from my flesh
shall see God, whom shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold, and not anoth-
er." Another we'll known passage in Eccle-
siastes becomes, Remember also thy Crea-
tor in the days of thy youth, or ever the
evil days come or the years draw nigh
when thou shalt say have no pleasure in
themn

SHADE A FERTILIZER.-That shade is
fertilizer is fact which has long been no.
ticed, and much has been written to explain
it. A few words will be sufficient for that pur-
pose. Shade operates simply by preserving
the ammonia which is in the sol and which
is continually furnished by rain and snow
water, and also by manures, and which is
rapidly driven off from naked surface of
the soil by scorching sun. To preserve
the ammonia, the skillful farmer ploWs his
manure shortly after it is spread upon the
soil; and spreads his manures upon his
meadows late in the fall, or in the winter or
early spring, SO that the ammonia may be
washed out of it into the soil and prevent
its evaporation by the sun.
Ammonia is either food or condiment
for most plants, which is necessary to their
rapid growth. 1t has been ascertained by
repeated experiments in England that the
largest crops of wheat can be raised by i'm
parting to the soil an extra quantity of am
monia either by directly spreading Of salts
ofammonia or by guano. Hence the great
est fertility of the soil will be more surely
preserved by an alteration of crops rather
than naked fallow, from which scorching
sun drives off the ammonia rapidly. We
should ever bear in mind the eloquent
words of an English writer that "mighty
Nature renews her strength, not by indoent
repose, but in alterations in energy."-H d.
c. IN Tribune and Farmer.
