in Syracuse, he went into a car sta bic
which had Just received a fresh stock Of
horses. He was asked to look them over,
and did so. After he got through he told
the hostler to bring out q certain horse he
designated.

said Mr. Nowry, "that horse VIII be
worth SO 900 or IN eat him.
The director followed Mr Mowry's ad-
vice. had the horse carefully trained,
and in one year more was worth sl5, 600

made q misjump over a hurdle, broke
his ck. and horse and $4,000 went
skyward.
When Mr. Mowry told the director 70

hurdle Jumper he did not state that he
would be apt TO break his neck before he
made cent for his owner. Therefore

THIS is phrase very often made
use of, but it is extremely difficult
to arrive at its exact meaning. MANY
tell us that it is the opinion pre-
valllng amongst the masses of the
people, others say that it is the opin-
n of the intelligent classes; while
ers say that it is the same as the
opinion which they themselves hold.
In these Islands there are so many
different shades of opinion that it
would be more difficult to determine
here than in many other places
any kind of popular opinion.
especially in regard to the recent
trials. We have not found any two
men whose opinions agreed upon
these matters in all particulars. In
like manner opinions vary upon all
current topics, although every man
is quite certain that his opinion is
the only one that should be held.

A Word About the Bolt Die Stock

No turning back over the threads after
it is once cut, is prominent feature of the
Duplex"
All mechanics agreeing that the turning
back against the cutting edge Injuries the
dies much more than the actual cutting.
When the " Duplex dies become dull
by CUTTING, they can readily be renewed by
sharpening on a grindStOne. Thus max
ing the life of these dies longer, at least by
four told than any other made, and at the
same time avoiding the common occur
renee of stripping or weakening the thread
and rendering the work worthless.
This tool, when set to any desired size,
can instantly be released and lifted off and
reset to same size without trial, thus in
surfing I'll the threads uniformly alike. 1t
adjusts to all the variations in irOn-rough,
diversified iron is shaved to standard size
and threaded at the same time. This can
not be accomplished with any other Die
Stock. The Duplex being the only tool
made allowing one set of dies to accurately
cut two distinct siZes-in the adjustment
no wrench, screw driver or any extra tool
being used-and when adjusted is as rigid
as solid die, and will do at least One-third
more work in the same space of time. We
solicit a comparison with other makes,
both as to range of sizes each tool cuts,
and prices, as well as price of extra dies.
