A GOOD TRADE TO LEARN.

There are very few young men who
start out in life but what do so with the
intention of doing something that shall
furnish them a means of livelihood and
something more, which they may look
to in case there comes a time when
they cannot do So. 1t is, of course,
desirable to do that which shall be the
most sure of bringing about this object,
and 1t is most important thing that
the young man chose that in which
there is the best chance for the accom-
plishment of this end.
There are few trades to day that Of
fer better advantages in this direction
than the machinist trade. As a rule,
they are a better paid class of men than
almost any other, and the chances for
advancement are more numerous than
elsewhere. The young man who starts
in to learn the machinlst's trade has
broad field for development. Upon
this trade more than upon any other
depends the prosperity and wealth of
our country. There Is constant and
increasing demand tor new and i'm
proved mechaniclsms, and it requires
the genius and ability of good machin-
lists to furnish this demand. Then there
is also the great field of invention, that
opens up an unexcelled and exhaustless
chance for the ambitious and ingenious
mechanic. That there are millions in
it" is emphatically evident from the ex-
amples before US. Nor is it absolutely
necessary that man shall be an expert.
Some of the most valuable and most
profitable inventions have been those
worked up by men who were not ex-
perts, and who we'll verSed IN mechan-
les to be called valuable workmen.
That many inventions are valueless,
we do not question, but that is not al
ways a direct indication that they are
worthless or unimportant as an inven-
ton. The one great aim in this line
should always be to produce an article
which is at once simple and possessing
some features OF novelty or value over
any similar existing device. Another
reason why we should consider the
machinist trade good one to be taken
up is because it IS principally upon this
that the country depends for its wealth
producing forces, and while this state OF
things lasts there will always be de-
mand for good workmen. A thor
oughly good machlnist is seldom out Of
a Job, and so tar as statistics show, there
are less labor troubles arising in thi:
than in any other line.-PJactical Me,

Do Not Think for a Moment

that catarrh will in time wear out. The
theory is false. Men try to believe it
because it would be pleasant If true, but
1t is not, as all know. Do not let an
acute attack of cold in the head remain
unsubdued. 1t is liable to develop into
catarrh. You can rid yourself of the
cold and avoid all chance of catarrh by
using DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Il
already afflicted rid yourself of thi:
troublesome disease speedily by the
same means. AT all druggists.

A Cheap Telephone.

A correspondent in the American Artisan.
who claims To have had considerable ex
perience in that line, says a good working
telephone may be made as follows Make
two tin drums six inches in diameter and four
inches deep. They should have a heavy
wire formed in same as half gallon cup
The wire should not be less than No. 8
Take rawhide that has been divested OF
hair and stretch it over the drum while
wet, and bind il on with small wire; lei
it remain till perfectly dry. A very thin
hide, such as squirrel, cat or coon is the
best. Thick hide will not work we'll Now,
to erect your drum, wire, etc, having set
your posts and put MP your insulators,
which may be made OF wire and suspended
from arms which have been nailed TO the
posts, bore a hole in the wall where the
drum is TO be placed, run the wire through
your drum and through the rawhide in the
center, having a button ready. Pass the
wire through the eye Of the button and
back through the drum and twist tightly
letting the button go, resting ii on the hide
Put up the wire ut the different insulators
String loop suspenders) till it reaches the
other end OF the line; then proceed to dc
