easy. Get of druggist or grocer a

cents. 1t comes in a neat can which
can be opened with any penknife
Dissolve this I've in three pints of cold
water. The I've heats the water and
you must wait till this heat passes
off before making your soap. Melt
your grease and strain through a
cheese-cloth and weigh five and a half
pounds. As soon as this melted
grease is cool enough To bear YOUR
hand in, pour grease and I've together
and stir thoroughly a few minutes
and you will see it thicken. Now
pour it into a box or drippine-pan

THE EVOLUTION OF THE SAW.

Perhaps no tool has a more inter
esting history than the saw. Ac-
cording to recent writer, saws have
been discovered in Germany and Den
mark which belonged to a bronze
age. The metal of which they were
composed was cast into thin shaft,
and serrated by breaking the edge.
Equally interesting discoveries have
been made in America. 1t has been
found that saws made of obsidian,
which is a kind of glass produced by
volcanoes, were used during the
stone age in Mexico, and saws and
knives of the same material have
been found in the alluvial deposits of
New Jersey, probably sent thither
from Mexico by the action of the
water The Ph9nicians are among
the earliest nations which are sup
posed to have used the saw. The
Scholars not surprised to find very
pretty story accounting for the dis
covery of the saw in Grecian mythol-
ogy Here tine inventor is said to
have found the jaw bone of a snake,
which he initiated by jogging an
iron plate. One day the uncle of the
inventor murdered him in a fit of
jealousy, SO the story goes, and, if
the liberty may be taken of filling
out this little romance, by plunging
one of the poor mans own saws
through his heart. The lacustrine
and other early inhabitants of Eu-
rope are credited with having made
saws of flint, and the natives of the
West Indian Islands had saws made
of notched shells. The Japanese saw
is a curiosity. 1t is shaped some
thing like a butchers cleaver. The
shank is drawn into handle, which
is fat, where it is secured by being
wrapped with split cane. The teeth
are described as being very narrow
and pointed toward the handle.
Some of the saws used by the ancient
Egyptians are exceedingly rude and
imperfect, consisting of long, thin
blades, ragged al the edges, and driv-
en- into rough pieces of wood. 1t is
from such crude and inefficient nipple
ments as these that the modern saw
has been developed. The saw of evo-
luton has been operative here, as the
philosopher might say, as it has been
elsewhere Iron.

In Probate Court, held at St. Johnsbury, in
said District, on the 21st day of August,
A. ID. 1889.
Emma A. Johnson, guardian of Edison B.,
Ada A. and Alma 1. Johnson, minors, makes
application to said Court for license to sell

Being an undivided interest in farm
with dwelling house and outbuildings thereon
situated in Sutton, Vt, known the James
ID. Johnson place. Representing that the sale

ceeds of such sale at interest or investing the
same in stocks or real estate, would be benef-
cia1 to said wards:
Whereupon it is ordered by said Court

Der. A. ID. 1889, for hearing and decision there

A POINT IN LETTER-WRITING.

Editor of the CALIFORNIAN: Mrs.
Herrick's excellent paper on letter
writing which you reprinted IN your
issue of Aug. Is, contains one ques-
tionable statement. She says: For
a formal note, if written in the first
person, say My dear Mr.. B. The
dropping Of the word my signifies
greater degree of intimacy" This is
undoubtedly the English custom, but
the American is precisely the reverse.
Readers of Marion Crawford's ''An
American Politician" will remember
how the European bred hero felt it
necessary to explain that when the
Boston heroine addressed note to
him as Dear Mr.. So-and-so," she
intended no suggestions beyond or
binary civiIity. DIR. T. |. Backus,
now at the head of the Packer insti-
tute in Brooklyn was professor of
rhetoric in Vassar for great many
years; and his successor there as are
also the two successive professors of
rhetoric at Smith college, is his pu
pill so perhaps he has formed the let
ter-writing habits of more American
women than any other one person,
and it is woman chiefly who attends
to these matters of correspondence.
Dr. Backus is definite in reversing
Mrs. Herrick rule, and the best text
books sustain him. The ground of
this usage seems to be that the pres
ence rather than the absence of the
possessive pronoun implies a certain
degree of intimacy and of friendly
ownership. OF course the whole mat
ter is a mere convention, but it is
well enough to understand that there
are two distinct opinions and Gus
toms, each with an influential body
of supporters E. &C.

The Wonderful Flying Squirrel.

Among the small animals which are
quite rare sight to city folks, and even
dwellers in the towns, is the cunning lit
tie flying squirrel. This is really won
derful creature, and seems to be sort of
compromise between bird and an anil
NAL. 1t is about five inches long as tc
its body, which is black and gray and
white beneath, and carries bushy tan
quite five inches in length, having pc
culiar construction which assists 1t IN its
fight from tree to tree, but the main ap-
paratus used in flying, or in reality leap
ing, is loose membrane connected to
the front and hind legs on each side,
which the squirrel has the power to eX-
pand at will, thus increasing the surface
presented against the air. When they
desire to 90 from one tree to another
they first ascend to the topmost branch,
and boldly leap off into space. Then it
is that their kite-ike appendages make
themselves useful. They spread out and
the little animal, guiding itself by the
tail. takes downward, circular fight
toward another tree. When 1t arrives
it hin six or eight feet of its intended
landing place it changes its position SO as
to light upon its feet against the tree
when the membranes become greatly re,
duced and are not at all in the way.
They live in decayed trees, where, If
not disturbed, they become quite numer-
Gus. They are difficult to catch, and
bite viciously when captured, but they
are easily domesticated and make admir-
able pets, and soon become an unfalling
source of amusement to the children.
They live upon nuts, acorns, insects, land
are said to eat small birds.
Every evening family of three or four
of these interesting surviving denizens OF
our suburban woods, who make their
home in a giant oak, sail across the
street, one after the other, to tree at
the residence of the writer, where they
scamper about the limbs searching for
their fayorite food. 1t seems from their
actions that they are nocturnal in their
habits and pass the day snugly curlcd up
in their home in the old oak, which prob
ABLY accounts for their survival long af

Millionaire Jay Gould.

Everything about the hundred million
aire, Jay Gould, is of public interest,
says a writer in the New York Press.
You will hear him talked about in
groups of men of all classes. Even his
personal habits are topics of conversa-
ton. Not long since one of his init
mate acquaintances and business asso-
ciates told me that Mr.. Gould has within
q short time made a new rule about his
letters. They are all opened by his con
fidential private secretary. Those which
relate to business affairs in which he is
related are laid upon his desk. All 9th
ers of whatever nature are consigned to
the waste basket. His mail is enormous
1t consists of begging letters, PROPOSE
tions to enter new business lines, threat
ening letters and great many Others,
which, under his rule, are destroyed.
His legitimate mail Is still enormous, and
would task an ordinary man to answer
IL. am told, however, tnat ne is never
in hurry, which shows that he must
have extraordinary working power. He
has come to limit his reception of callers
to much the same lines as his correspond
ence. 81 don't want to see you, sir" he
said recently to man who had pushed
his way into his presence. 81 have no
interest whatever in the matter you wish
me talk about, and you must excuse me. !"
When the gentleman said that he sought
to interest Mr. Gould the latter quietly
but firmly responded: 'But, my dear
sir, that is just what do not want you
to do. don't want to be interested in
anything more than am now interested

The Result Of Inventions.

In cutting out clothing and cloth caps
with dies one worker does the work of
three by old methods.
In leather manufacture modern meth
ods have reduced the necessary number
of workers from five to fifty per cent.
A carpet measuring and brushing ma
chine with one operator will do the work
of fifteen men by the old methods.
In the manufacture of flour modern i'm
provements save seventy-f five per cent. of
the manual labor that once was necessary.
Tn making tin cans one man and boy
with modern appliances can do the work
of ten workers by the old process.
By the use of coal mining machines
100 miners in 4 month can mine as much
coal in the same time rs 500 miners by
the old methods.
One boy by machinery in turning
woodwork and materials for musical in
struments performs the work OF twenty
five men by the old methods.
The horse power Of steam used in the
United States on railways, steamers and
in factories and mines was in 1888 II, 900,
00O against 1,610, 900 in 1850.
In the manufacture of brick improved
devices save one-tenth of the labor, and
in the manufacture of firebrick forty per
cent. of the manual labor is displaced.
In stave dressing twelve colaborers
with machine can dress 1000 slaves
in the same time that the same number
of workers by hand could dress $500
slaves.
In mailing on shoe heels one worker
and boy with machinery can heel 300
pairs of shoes per day. 1t would require
five workers to do the same by hand.
In the manufacture of carriages it used
to take one man thirty five days to make
carriage. 1t is now made by the aid
of machinery with the work of one man
in twelve days.
In the cotton mills in the United
States the manual labor has been reduced
about fifty per cent. Now one weaver
manages from two to ten looms, where
one loom was formerly tended by one
worker.
