Beyond question the cheapest and most
effective machine Of the Kind now In use
adapted to ali grades and Glasses Of ore.
This mschine has been thoroughly tested
for tho past two years under . great variety
Of conditions giving most extra0rdinay re
suits, FAR In advance Of anything ever bs

SsyENTH--It saves all the amalgam, geld
or silver that escapes tho batteries, pans or
settlers--an invaluable feature, and claim

more than II costs for this pnrpose alone.
EIGHTH--A much coasaer grade of ore can

ESPECIALLY FOR THE LADIES,
10 Mothers aud Daughters.

There is lack of industrial training
among girls, seen quite as often in families
of moderate means as among the wealthy.
It is a great mistake that SO many gills are
taught nothing about the practical dutits
and serious cares of Iire." All women, says
one, should have practical knowledge of
manual labor. To know how to cook, sew,
care for the sick, etc, should form part OF
every thorough education.
TO attain symmetrically developed wom-
anhood, there must be industry. thorough
ness in study and work, and self Glance in
thought and act
Mothers, take little time from the w"rii
and worry, or the fashionable idlenesS OF
your daily life, and examine tie training
your daughters are lcceiy ng At your
hands.
Remember You are stamping upon the !
white sous impressions which will but in
crease their beauty, Or leave a stain which
neither time nor eternity can elface.
Girls, if the experience of early woman
hood has shown you grave defects in youl
chiidhoud's training, earnest, persistent ef
forts will do much to remedy tht
evil
Be strong in thought anil deed; dare tC
follow right and your own good sense
whether fashion Lhas DEGREES oil not.
