The Usual Result.

1t is not to be denied that u good
sewing machine is one of the most
important appurtenances of the mod
ern household,
We thought we had good machine
until one day the agent of the New
Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an grafton
upon its characteristic merits.
"But" we answered "our machine
suits us we'll and we do not care for
another"
The agent however begged the priv
ilege of leaving one of his machines
with us, 4" for the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable,
so we granted it-hnt more to oblige
the agent than anything else for we
really did not waut the machine, and
had not the remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it
was natural that the ladies should
look it over; they did SO and as a
consequence fell in love with it, They
say that without the slightest wish
to decry or disparage any other ma
chine, this, all things considered, is,
in their opinion, the most desirable
oneto be had.
This unrivalled machine is manu-.
featured by the New Home Sewing

Larrabee, the old "King. of the
forest" has again appeared with his
ancient and characteristic look as
Santa Claus. We are just now look
ing at one of his mast sticks, 50 feet
in length, and just as straight as an
arrow. The old man has probably no
equal in the country in getting out
this class of timber. Ills work illus
trates the great value of observation
in all the details of the transaction.
BY the most simple means and with
out instruments he calculates the
height OF q tree by pacing a certain
distance frorS it, then putting him
self in u certain position and taking
an observation and so-in the most
rough ways and means he calculates
everything about his work with won
derful accuracy, selecting only those
trees fit for masts. lie never makes
mistake, but we venture that n
novice in the business, even with the
best msans, would fluid some of his
trees rejected.
