Cheap Printing.

An old printer and business man of
experience has this TO say about cheap
printing; 1T is impossible to do thor
oughly good work cheaply,, while COM
mon work can be turned out at less than
the cost Of paper for a good one, with
ont consideration Of the value of the
time of a frst-class workman to COM
plete agood job. a man with plenty
of money in his pocket can better
appreciate the difference in quality of
work and material that he who has to
count each penny and make it. go as
far as possible in his struggle to make
his business pay; Hence the starter
'on his own account may take it as a
sound business doctrine to study
quality before quantity, for while as a
rule people Will go to the cheapest
market, there are others who reverse
this order of things, and printers may
depend upon it that if their houses are
known for good work, business is sure
to come to them. even though the price
may be in advance Of those of theil
neighbors."

AMSTERDAM.

Amsterdam" is the. largest city of
Holland. 1t is a city of canals. and yet
travellers are not impressed so constant
ly that.it is IL water city as when in
Venice.
The town lies at the end of. the Y,
which is a gulf of the Zuyder Zee, and
there are several great canals, shaped
like segment of concentric circles, III
tersected by. some 300 smaller canals;
and yet there are many streets and
squares where one can drive about as
freely as in any other city. Most of the
houses are very tall and very narrow
and stand with their gable ends to the
street, presenting to strangers a very
odd appearance.
One of the great industries of this
Dutch town is the cutting and polish
ing of diamonds, and'many of the finest
gems in the world are brought here tC

The Way to Fall Down i.

The special providence that seems
TO hover over drunken men and chill
dren has something of an explana-
tion," said well known and eminent
medical man to reporter. lin the fact
of the main cause of the breakage Of
bones from falls being from a resist
ance of the tendons more often than
from the violence of the shock incident
to the actual fall \ child or an intox-
icated person will rarely endeavor with
any great effort to recover their bal
ance when they slip or tobble over.
Hence no special resisting force is ex-
ercised and they sink into a collapsed
heap without serious injury. When an
adult in possession of his sound senses
undertakes, with endless cOntOrtions
and gyrations, to save himself from
going down, he draws every muscle
and sinew taut, and if the wrench is too
severe the bone breaks. There is no
way of definitely proving it, but it is
asserted, and | believe with some show
of truth. that some. at least, of the
fractures resulting from falls. especial
ly from height, happen before the
actual shock with the substance one
falls on occurs. It's strange, but
guess il is the truth"

NrpoR DAY.--(Original essay)

ARBOR DAY. Original essay)
Arbor day is a day on which we plant
trees in our lawns, fields and along the
streets OF our cities, for their shade and
beauty.
We planted trees in our school
ground, oaks. naples, poplars and ever
greens. We had essays, dialogues. songs
and readings, all about trees. Our ex-
ercises were commenced in Miss
Browns ROOM The first was "Conven-
ton of Trees" dialogue by the sixth
and seventh grades. Each pupil had to
represent tree, and all had their parts
nicely learned. The next exercise was
dialogue by four of the pupils from
Miss Fairs room. The rest Of our ex-
ercises were given out of doors. There
were essays and quotations by the old
er pupils.
We dedicated tree to Whittier. one
to Longfellow, one to Bryant. and one
each to Lincoln, Garfield and Cleve-
land. The essays and quotations were
praised by ALL Mr.. Law. our principal,
gaStan interesting account of Arbor
Day.
A large number of visitors were
present, and altogether we had a pleas
ant time which we think will be long
remembered.

An Insects Queer Domicile.

Mrs. Charles Parkhurst, of Mohegan,
a few miles below Norwich, Conn,
has an insect of singularly regular
habit. 1t is about half an inch in
length and straw colored. 1t dwells
in q webbed and dusty crevice in the
inner part of the large, old-fashioned
clock in her kitchen. Once day it
appears on the dial, in the early even
ing, when the clock is being wound,
but never shows itself at other times.
The moment that the crooked old
brass kew is inserted into the keyhole
and the first turn is male that starts
the leaden weights rumbling up the
shafts on the sides the bug capers out
of its hiding place and gambols over
the clock face in apparent ecstasy,
and as soon as the weights bump
against the wooden top of their cham
bers it scurries back to its retreat Its
evening run apparently is its sole
diversion; its steady business is piled
among the shaky clock wheels in
superintendency of the flight of time.
Many attempts have been made to
catch the bug or track him to his lair,
and once Mrs Parkhurst had the face
and some of the vital organs of the
time-piece removed, but it could not
be found. 1t knew more about the
interior of the clock than its pursuers.

Farm Mortgages.

Our recent editorial on farm mort,
cages is having hard luck. A new
England paper pitched ii into it because
it opposed monopolies. Now the
Sentinel sails into it because it did not
advocate the issuing of enough money
to make wheat worth two dollars a
bushel We don't think two dollars
bushel is enough. The wheat-grower
who is struggling with exhausted soil,
Hessian fly, drought and floods, would
starve TO death at two dollars a bushol.
We are in favor of three dollars as the
minimum, unless at the same time
the Government issues the money,
it will send out some patent fer.
tiIizers to increase the wheat crop.
The Sentinel should study up on The
average yield of wheat before it begins
to regulate the price. Nigh just as
we'll set the price high enough as long
rs YOU are at it, to make it an ol ject
to grow wheat. Two things we hive
believed in for long time: one is
more money, and the other is more
wheat. If our contemporary will con.
unue TO howl for more money, lhe
Rural will VIII Dop it up for more WHEAT
and pretty soon we ough to be able to
get enough money and wheat to make
