A New Gram Bindinq Machine.

Early last spring the illinois State
Grange, through its executive COM
mittee, and seeking relief from the
extortions of the Irvine Trust, offered
$4,000 for successful and practical
machine or attachment to bind grain
with straw. The committee received
forty applications to compete for this
prize. Many of the models submit
ted showed much thought and inge-
nuity, only one Of which, however,
was deemed entirely satisfactory.
For this invention the committee
rendered the $4,000, but the inventor
declined to deed his STRENGTHENING
device to the State Grange for this
amount of money, having had much
larger offers for his machine and its
patents.

Keep Them at Home.

Parents often wonder who or what
has ruined their boys. They have
been to school every day, but the les
sons Of department and morality in
culcated there seems to have been
wasted on barren ground. The truth
is, the boys are allowed to be on the
streets from the time school closes
until late at night. The street corner
is the best place in the world for
teaching vice, profligacy and crime.
Nearly all the bad language and idle,
vicious habits which boys acquire, are
learned on the streets late ut night
Teachers may be able to accomplish a
little in counteracting these evil in
fluences, but much of their labor is in
vain until parents cooperate with
them by keekping their boys off the
streets at night.

Hot Water for Wrinkles.

A very beautiful, though no longer
youthful, society woman, owes the
preservation of her charms to little
habit she has of lying down when
dressed for the evening with a cloth
wrung ont of hot water pressed
closely over the entire surface Of her
face, and allowing it to remain there
half an hour. All the wrinkles are,
she claims, smoothed out of her face
by this process, which is in striking
contrast to the way, the average
woman flies into clothes for an even
ing's outing, hurries the crimp all
out of her hair while the carriage
waits, covers her hot, tired face with
polka dots of powder in her haste,
tugs on her gloves and is off.-Neir

An Advert,sInq SwiDdIe.

M HSpSf SSNS O""Ses
A number of Hagerstown business
men have been cleverly duped by two
sharpers who registered at the Hotel
Hamilton ten days ago under the
names of P. d. Mahoney and j. A.
Whitman. Their game was that OF
inserting business cards at 50 each in
what was represented to be the time
table of the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road. Having sold space to the
amount of $3.50 the Star printing com
pany was given the work. Securing
a proof-sheet under the plea of max
ing necessary corrections, they called
on tie victims" and reported that
several thousand of the folders" had
been printed and were ready for dis
tribution. They informed the adver-
Users they could have as many as
they wished for their own use, and
then blandly presented their bills,
which were paid, and on Wednesday
evening they jumped the town. They
were apprehended at Cumberland
and were returned to Hagerstown,
where they were put in Jail to await
trial.

Stole the Chickens.

Last Friday Mr.. E. Hess Reinhart,
who lives below Shepherdstown,
gathered together about forty fine,
fat chickens, and put them in coop
ready for shipment on Monday. That
same night some rascal called at the
place, borrowed a horse, saddle and
bride from Mr.. Reinhart, and gath
ering up about twenty of the fowls,
rode away with them. The horse was
found near Harper's Ferry next morn
ing. as is usually the case in these
robberies.
Mr.. J. G. Unger, near Duffields, in
formed us that great many chickens
were stolen from him during the past
summer. Several weeks ago he shot
at thief, and he hasn't been both
cred since.

The prosperous manufacturing city
of LYNN, Mass, near Boston, was
visited Tuesday by an appalling con-
fiagration, which swept over an area
of square mile in the heart OF the
town, and was stopped only when it
reached the shore of Massachusetts,
bay. Among the buildings burned
were the Boston and Maine Railroad
Station, Western Union Telegraph
office, all the newspaper offices and
nearly forty shoe factories. No &C
curate estimate of the loss can be
made at present, but it is approx
mately estimated at ten million dol
lars.

Democratic house and secondarily by
a Republican senate, as approved
finally by Democratic president,
were met there would probably be no
surplus at all, properly SO called-that
is, no more money in the treasury
than the exchequer of so great a ma
ton as ours ought to contain. The
nol-partisan Bankers Monthly which
stands aloof, as becomes a magazine
devoted to banking matters, flom the
contentious of political economists, has
the following comment on the surplus,
made all the more significant by its
independent. position
The net surplus can not be said to
be extravaGant as a reserve for first
class power 1t is not desirable just
now either to begin borrowing again
or to draw on the hanks, for with a
fixed volume of currency we can not
get any more money. The only way
to rep!enish the exchequer would be to
sell bonds in Europe and import gold,
or issue more legal tenders. which last
would be popular method with the
remaining admirers of the war cur
rency. If temporary, and for few
millions orly, the irredeemable inf1a-
tion would not exert much expulsive
pressure on our large stock of gold.
The new congress will do well to
make a note of this declaration, as a
representative statement of the condi-
tion of the treasury, as seen from the
bankers coigne of vantage.
