Comprising and lsalins Mill Refuse for
Shipmcnt-A NcM Iuc:i


At the mills is erected Il tramway. anl
along this runs on wheels n box shupcd re-
ceptacle or curb in which the material is
pressed. The entire outfit weighs about two
and Il half tons and requires n space about
twenty by thirty feet. When the work Of
pressing begins the SawluSt or other mate
rial is dropped into the receptacle, and b;
means of power either from Il water wheel
or engine pressure of l25 tons is secured
1t is plainly evident that To covering for u
bale, unless it be OF metal, can withstand
such pressure, and Just here comes in one of
the notable inventions connected with tn,
machine.
BY a peculiar arrangement which has been
patented. Il meta lie cas-" is SO placed inside
the curb and inside the hurlap, winch finally

so devised rs to open at all four Corners al
lowing the ti.e To drop to the floor or ground
leaving the curious lining inside. Then by
Il motion oi tho levers tho curb is closed ilcv'
binding material inserted, and the whole ap.

Small Boy at School,

There is q greater bore in this world than
man who has just fallen in love, and that
is II small child who has lately entered n new
class at school. My teacher seems to have
said something on every topic that can be
imagined, and he has no idea of keeping her
wisdom to himself, but repeats it to every
body ut all hours. He even rises earlier,
because my teacher said the other dav
when fellow was late that boy who could
not get up early would never make great
man, and he goes to bed without murmur
because my teacher says that sleep is ne
cessaly to make us grow And in a month
he will call her "old Maam Smith," because
lie will have found out that she, like all his
other teachers, insists that he shall learn,
whereas he knows that he was sent to school
to have fun.-Boston Transcript.

no ~hindrances in our way, and we appear
to be something, which in fact we are not.
BY our appearance we create expectations
which cannot be realized. To all intents
and purposes we are fruitiess. There is
not a germ of fruit in or about US. Still
we stand by the roadside, covered with
leaves which can be seen by every passer
by. We make the impression on others
that we are full of ripe fruit, but when
viewed by the divine eye we are absolute
ly fruitless, having neither ripe fruit or
fruit in any stage Of growth. Our fruit
time will never come unless we change.
We bear nothing but leaves, we
have borne anything but leaves, and we
never will bear anything but leaves, unless
a great change takes place. We always
have been, when viewed from afar, taken
to be fruit bearing trees, but never yet has
any n fOundany real good thing that we
have done. Ali our acts and all our words
and all our thoughts are for self and only
self. We present a grand appearance, but
there is nothing in US but appearance.
Another lesson, and a startling one too,
that we learn from this parabolical mira
Gle is.that Jesus Christ expects to find US
all fruit bearers. He demands of US that
we not only repent of our sins, but that we
bring forth fruit meet for repentance. In
other words, Jesus Christ commands all
men everywhere to repent and to evince
their repentance by ceasing to sin and
learning to do we'll. He does not only in
righteousness and our iniquities by turn
ing unto God, but he commands US author
itatively to repent. He will not regard
appearances as realities. We must bear
more than leaves. We should remember
that some day, in the near future, Jesus
Christ will come to US, and if he finds US
without fruit,thaacemmand will be given
as it was in the parable of a fig tree plant
ed in a vineyard Luke 13) cut it down,
why cumbereth it the ground or he will do
to US as he did to the fig tree in the mira
Gle; he will speak and we will be, in a mo-
ment, dried up from the roots. What a
monument of the punitive justice of the
Lamb of God is the barren fig tree Let
US never forget that he who said concern
ing Jerusalem he would have gathered its
inhabitants as q hen gathereth her brood
under her wings, also said concerning the
same Jerusalem, that because the inhabit-
ants rejected him, not one stone of its tenn
pie should be left on another, and it came
to pass. Let us never forget that Jesus
Christ, full of mercy as he is, cursed. as the
inspired historian c~allsit, a barren fig tree.
Let US never forget that Jesus expects
more of reasonable and intelligent men
and women than he does of fig trees. Let
US remember that Jesus Christ is q sover
eign as we'll as a Saviour, and that he who
died to save sinners will, in a short time,
so far as any of US is concerned, pass the
sentence of condemnation upon all who
do nothing. What countless millions of
our race will perish forever, not because
they have been great sinners, but because,
like the barren fig tree, they have borne
nothing but appearances-leaves only.

BLOOD

Three years ago I contracted a blood poison. lap-
piled TO a physician at once and his treatment came
near killing me. l employed an old physician and
then went to Ky. I then went to Hot Springs and re-
manned two months, but nothing seemed TO cure me
permanently, although temporary relief was given me.
My condition grew desperate and l applied to a noted
quack, but did not improve. | then used q prepara-
ton that was prescribed "gratls,' % but 1t contained too
much alcohol and aggravated my sufferings. ] then
placed myself under the treatment of q noted NASH
vile physician and for a time wa benefited, but by
fall l returned home a ruined man physically and
financially, with but little prospects of ever getting
well. My money being exhausted, | did not know
what to do. In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me
TO get n bottle Of b. B. B. (made in Atlanta) and 1 did
so to crafty her, but to my utter establishment ! had
not finished the first bottle before every ulcer had been
healed.
To the present time I have used five bottles and
have received more benefit than from all the rest
combined; and | am satisfied that B. B. B. is the most
wonderful blood purifier ever before known, and
urge all afflicted young men TO try one single bottle
and be convinced. | can truly say I think 1t the
hest medicine In the world.

THE COMFORT OF HoPE.--He who
shows mercy to another remembers him
self. To be pitiful is to be thoughtful.
Those who are in the full tide of health
cannot easily think what it really is to be
worn with unrelieved pain and disease.
Those in whose happy homes there seem
to be the perpetual festival of comfort and
the sweetest friendships, can hardly imag-
inc what it is to have the home broken up,
and to be outcast and alone. The infinite
comfort which there is in Christ's love and
presence and friendship, is due in part to
the infinite thoughtfulness of His love.
"If it were not So" said Jesus to his dis
ciples, 81 would have told you" What
is it that he would have sosurely told them,
"if it were not so?" This, that in Gods
home, in the home of the Father of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, there is
abundant room; that there is His own
prepared place for each one; and that his
home, assured to every disciple, is no mere
guest-house for a night or a day, but q
home that has the element of permanence--
that is, an abiding place.
The need of that perpetual vision of a
better world" whose light shines through
the darkness OF the present life, is not a
need for a few here and there, but a neces-
sity for every one and everywhere. If
it were not so, I would have told you"
The reasons, then, are obvious enough
why we, too, should tell it, that all may
know it, Congregational Magazine.
