An Old Chair.

Although not an admirer of what is some
times called dry goods box furniture" and
cheap cambria and muslin draperes, or of al
tempting to make something out of nothing,
which will hardly hold together till finished,
we have sometimes done job of repairing
which was creditable A piece of work Just
finished was the ro-upholstering of large
chair. 1t WAS the third time that it had been
covered, and it now seems as good rs new.
TO do like bit of repairs, proceed as fol-
lows: Remove the lacks from the old cover,
and spread each piece out smoothly on the
new material for u pattern. Piece it firmly
where needed, which will probably be only a
short distance lengthwise of the arms EX-
anime the chair, and if the stays across the
seat are worn away, renew them with what
ever strong material can be procured; a firm
piece of burlap is good, but in covering the
chair referred tow were fortunate enough
to have at hand a large piece of woven belt
ing, which is the strongest fabric made and
when firmly tackled about the edge, made q
strong foundation.
Whatever is used, iasten it on very strong,
being careful not to disturb the excelsior or
stutting on the back and arms. Having made
the chair ready, lay the cover over, and begin
by lacking il across the front and little way
up over each arm now take an upholsterer' s
needle, and stout Irvine, and tie it down in
the old places, using the old buttons if they
have been preserved, if not. Others rs nearly
like them AS can be found; draw each place
very tight, and tic securely on the back side,
then fit the covering and tack down the
edges little further; now tie in more places
until 1t is all done in as neat u manner as
possible. On the back side tack on one large
piece smoothly fitted; across the front and
sides fastcn down gimp with gilt lacks if
no gimp is to be had, told of the material
will answer, if neatly put on. This will be
hard work, and must not be hurried if salts
factory result is expected.-N. y. Farmer.

The Deepest Hole in the World.

The deepest boring yet made is at the vii
lage of Schladebach, near the line between
Leipzig and Corbetha. 1t has been made by
the Prussan government to test for the pres
ence Of coal, and was bored with diamond
drills. It's depth is 1890 metres 1850 feet;
its breadth at the bottom 2 inches, and at the
top eleven inches. 1t has occupied three and
half years to bore, and cost little over
$4,000 sterling. The temperature at the bot
tom is 11S degrees Fahrenheit.

The WASHINGTON
Life Insurance Co.
Or NEW YORK;
Why should I Insure my Life!

LIST. Because, the moment my life is insured
my estate is really worth fully the amount of my
policy, in addition to its previous value
I'd. Because having but one life, my family
cannot avail themselves OF the law of average in
any other way.
Sd. Because policy of insurance on my life
will give me the composure and freedom from
solicitude which in sickness contributes to re-
cOvery, and thereby lengthenS life.
4th. Because, as death is certain, every dollar
invested in life insurance must return to my es-
tate, and at time when my family will need it
most.
18th. Because, if 1 owned house, the rent of
which was 81 600 per year, should deem it IA duty
TO my family to keep it insured; then how much
more duty having but one life, which is worth
$1,000 per year to my family to keep that insured
which they may lose ut any time, and must lose
9th. Because whatever, as a matter of theory,
IL Is possible TO do in the way of laying aside
small sums annually, experience proves that
shall not do 1t unless an obligation is created by
which feel bound TO do so, whereas by the stip-
ulation to pay II small sum annually, 1 at once
secure 10 my family an accumulation which could
only be the result of the savings of many years.
TN. Because the experience of more than a
century proves that well managed Life Insur-
world.
sth. Because other investments with promise
OF as prontaole returns are not so easily found,
and generally being of a speculative character,
not unfrequently end in entire loss.
9TH. Because an Investment in policy of Life
insurance is FAR preferable to deposits in a Saw
lngs Bank. An Insurance Company combines the
against risks. Like the Savings Bank, it takes
care OF the deposltors money, but it does more.
what is OF higher Importance to the depositor,
the Company engages, in consideration of GER
tain sum of money paid annually during the life
OF tne depositor, to pay much larger sum to his
family upon his decease A Savings Bank makes
provision only for life The average duration of
human life is only thrty-three years. OF 800 per-
sons only one lives eighty years, and of 100 only
six live 81 xtytive years. The uncertainty of life
being admitted, it follows that accumulation
upon the Savings Bank principle does not meet
the requirements of the case.

Sparks Backs Down.

Washington, March 29.-Commission-
er Sparks to-day decided to reverse his
ruling, by which he had refused to or
der surveys until settlements are made
Surveyor General Taylor of Dakota,
who has been here some days laboring
with Sparks on this sahiect visited h:::
to-day and added arguments to show
the i'll effects Of the decision upon un-
surveyed sections, where settlers are
desiring to obtain homes and make
their homestead entries and the i'm
possibility of making settlements with
out surveys. The result was that the
commissioner decided to reverse his
rulings, and permit the Surveys TO 90
forward whenever there is information
from reliable sources that there is suffi-
cient demand by actual settlers to war
rant the survey. He authorized Sur
vevor General Taylor to make a survey
of some t~hirty.two townships i'm West
ern Dakota, which he had applied for
the right to make some months ago. but
had been refused under former rulings.
Dakota people, and all Western people
in fact, are delighted with this action
on the part of Commissioners Sparks, as
it will permit a survey and the opening
of q large section which had been closed
to settlers by this order. SURVEYOR
General Taylor will now turn his bat
teries on Sparks with reference to the
Turtle monutsin question.

Information has been derived from
what we consider a reliable source, to
the effect that the Union Pacific railroad
in order TO claim a share of the Black
Hills trade will ut once commence the
construction Of a line from an indefinite
point on the Union Pacific to Rapid
City via Chadron. This is a very plausi-
BILE statement, for as things now are,
the Union Pacific does not derive any
benefit from the Black Hills trade, and
are being cut off entirely by the exten.
sion Of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Mis-.
souri, Valley from the Central Wyo-
ming trade. Their only course is to
extend branch lines n%ortherly and
compete with the Northwestern. The
gentleman from whom the above infor.
nation was attained could not divulgt
the name Of his informant, as it wat
given to the latter in confidence by g
prominent railroad official of the Unior
Pacific, and may be considered reliable

where does the water get its heat?
Upon what do the curative properties
Of the water depend? 1t is the natural
disposition Of mankind to inquire and
try and find out the causes of every
phenomenon. But it is a far different
thing to explain these facts in a salts
factory manner The heat ofthe waters
may come from the combination of
different chemicals, from electrical
forces, from friction, from the internal
heat of the earth, etc. The curative
properties partly depend on the
chemicals held in solution to the mag
netic and electrical forces given out of
the earth with the flow of water TO the
different gases held in solution, and
other properties not recognized IN the
chemists crucible. | think the most
essential thing and the one on which its
success depends, is that it is in a north
ern cline about in the same latitude AS
Sioux City. Northerners do not have
to habituate themselves TO a climate not
native, Ii. e., get accliinated.) YOU can
60 and return without experiencing any
material change of climate, and thereby
avoid the dangers OF taking cold.
The accommodations are too limited
for those already there. But Fred Evans
says che can't keep them out with a
club they are bound to come and get
cured" The company say they are not
yet ready for invalids, but they will be
within sixty days. a large and commodi-
Gus hotel is being erected to accommo-
date applicants, invalids AMI pleasure
seekers. Mr.. Carhart, Of Hot Springs,
Arkansas. a very shrewd and aflable
gentleman, is there to superintend the
construction ofthe lighthouses. Every
thing will be fitted up in the most
modern and approved style. A good
livery and pleasant drives are among
the attractions. There are plenty of
things there to muse the painter, poet
and scholar"
