A grindstone is one of the worst used
implements on the farm, or in the work.
shop. Few take the trouble to think
about their work, and consequently the
great majority of people fail to get the
most and best use from their tools. The
few who think will agree with us when
we say that a grindstone is both badly
used and badly chosen. 1t is too small
too Thick it is not evenly and truly set
and centred; it is not properly spceded,
and is turned either too fast and is made
to throw the water around, or too slow,
and so fails to do its work well; it is not
well taken care of, and is badly used.
A grindstone, TO do good service,
should be at least three feet in diameter
and two and one half to three inches in
thickness, having bevel on each side Of
the face for grinding on. 1t should be
quite free from hard spots of iron pyrites,
which are injurious to tools, although
these may be taken out with sharp
pointed punch. If it is not centred
truly, it will work out of shape, and
soon require trueing up, 1t should run
as fast as possible, as it does work better
and more quickly. TO prevent it from
throwing water, q piece of bagging
should be fastened to staple fixed across
the frame on each end, but not so close
as to grind it out; this will catch the
excess of water aud yet keep the stone
wet enough and clean it. The stone
should be kept in the shade, and never
in water, which softcns it and makes
one side wear faster than the other
The water box should have hole in it,
to let out the water and keep the stone
dry when not in use. In grinding, ii
should mostly turn from the tool, and il
used otherwise, great care should be
taken by the one who holds the tool, no,
to gouge the stone.

Household Hints.

To make paper stick to wall that has
been whitewashed, wash in vinegar or
saleratus water.
When clothes are scorched remove the
stain by placing the garment where the
sun can shine on it.
Many people in the country who are
compelled to drink we'll water, are boil
ing all that is used in the family. The
question is frequently asked, how long it
should be boiled7 The best chemists say
that half an hours boiling is considered
sufficient to destroy disease germs, if any
exists in the water.

Coun1erfeiter. of Coin

The United States grand jury at New York
has made presentment setting forth that
there should be more stringent law against
making counterfeit coins and securities They
consider the laws inadequate for thorough
and practical prosecution of counterfeitors.
They recommend law that will permit
judges and commissioners to issue warrants
to search premises where it is suspected that
counterfeiting is DONE and also law to
punish the possesors of moulds or dies for
counterfeiting The action of the grand jury
was dictated by the prevalence of spurious
fractional coins in New York city and
Brooklyn The subsidiary silver is being
counterfeited there by the bushel the favorits
and best counterfeit being the dime.
