others on file at our office:
DANIEL says: ! have tested
the light Suntish Pillow that I purchased
of you and find it up to all the requirements;
light in draft, easily adjusted, and the only
| pillow ] ever saw that will follow equally as
well two or three horses. 1 want no more cast
plows.
CHARLES E. T~IMBERLAKE says: The inn

got of you (on trial) this Spring proves to be
| equal to all you claim for it. and more: 1
plOwed q piece of new ground with three horses
hichcd to it, that were altogether too fast, but
it was equal to it, and came out with colors

pleasure in saying that the New Plow, pur-
chased of you this Spring. gave entire ~satisfac-
ton. The peculiar quality of the soil which 1
have to pillow makes it necessary to have moth
ing but the very best pillow to do the work.
+. L. BOYD. of kabletowu, says: l will
say in regard to your New Plow that it is the
best I have ever used-works easy to both man
and horses. and is just what You want for hard
ground. and is the cheapest to keep in order.
JOSEPH l.. E~ICuELBERGER says: Received
your note the other day. and say in re-
gard to the Plow, that it is all that could be de-
sired light of draft, and does its work well,
and is in my judgement a much better Plow
than any of those light Plows from the North
and West that are shipped here by the car
load. Farmers had better spend their money
at home and encourage home manufacturers.
g.. w. SNYDER. Middleway. says: Hike your
Plow both for two or three horses, and l have
never seen any better. 1t can be kept in order
with less expense than any I have ever used
1t cuts the ground off before it turns it, there
by making a level surface below. There is
where it beats other Flows.
RUDOLPH RAU. of Bolivar, says: 81 am
much pleased with the Plow, / think the
New Pillow superior to the Old SuDfsh. in fact
it does more and better work than any Pillow 1
ever had on my farm. Will call and see you
about another of same pattern.

been confined to this and adjoining counties,

Farmers are learning not to buy a poor imple-

points in our Pillow. which ommend ii above

it cuts off the land level below before COM

TRUE POLITENESS.
Pretty Story Strikingly Illustrative of
Perfect Etiquette.

A Pretty Story Strikingly Illustrative of
Perfect Etiquette.
In Mr.. and Mrs. Bancroft's "Remin-
iscences" there is story told by Mr..
Charles Collette which is beautifully
and very strikingly illustrative of true
etiquette. A young soldier in an En-
glish regiment had been promoted from
the ranks and given commission in
another regiment. Before joining hi
new command he was, according to
custom, invited to a farewell dinner by
the officers of his old regiment placed,
as the guest of the evening, on. the
right of the Colonel and helped to all
the dishes first. He was fine young
fellow, but little used to the ways of
the polite world and the manners of
other dining tables than the humble
mess of those days in ranks. The
Colonel, one of the truest types of gen.
tlemen, did his best to put his guest
at his ease. The soup was served and
then came a servant to the guests side,
holding a large bowl which contained
simply Jumps of ice. The weather was
hot, for this happened in India, and
cool drinks were an unspeakable boon.
The new-made officer stared at the
bowl. The servant asked: 'Ice, sir?"
The Colonel chatted merrily to him on
his left. Others of the party began to
see tn dilemma.
''Ice, sir?" again asked the waiter.
The guest, in ignorant desperation,
took portion of the ice and put it in
his soup. A smile played lightly on
the faces of some of the younger Off
GERS, when the bowl was offered to the
Colonel, who went on chatting to the
guest. and without moving muscle of
his face also dropped piece of ice into
his soup. Those who came afterward,
however, took their cue from their
Colonel or lei the bowl pass; and the
young man breathed the sigh of relief
as he thought that after all he had
done the right thing. If ever soldier
deserved the Victoria cross the Colonel
of that regiment did!

THIBETAN STEPPES.
How the Wind Blowing on Them Affect
European Travellers.

How the Wind Blowing on Them Affects
European Travellers.
The strangely wild beauty of this
.cene was enhanced by the extreme
clearness of the air, which in Thibit
renders surrounding objects and their
black, clear-cut shadows almost start
lingly distinct, and distances most de-
ceptive. A natural consequence of so
transparent an atmosphere is, that the
suns rays strike through it with the
most astonishing power. Indeed, from
the moment the sun appears over the
horizon, it commences pitching into
your face, and especially your poor
nose; and even although these may be
shaded from its direct beams, the radi-
alton from the dry, stony ground is SO
great as to make some sort of covering
for the face very desirable. And OH
the merciless, marrow-searching wind
that hardly ever ceases blowing on
these bare Thibetan steppes, except
for few hours in the morning, and
not always even then. How it, com
bined with hard frost every night,
parches and cracks the sun-scorched
skin ON your face and lips, until speak
ing becomes painful, to laugh is tor
ture, and to wash is almost impossible.
Day after day the skin peels off your
face and hands. There is no escape
from this evil in Thibet: it is the great
drawback to a trip there. | generally
wore kind of mask made of thin cloth
extending down just over the nose
with apertures for the eyes. and always
kept my face well smeared with salye
composed of bears grease and sperm

meat, inasmuch as it prevented The
skin from becoming quite frizzled up
