A Machine to Make BasebalIs.

Automatic machines for making
baseballs have been so successfully
contrived that their introduction is
likely to constitute practical indus
try. Each machine winds two balls
st one time, in the following way ::
A little para-rubber ball, weighing
three-quarters of an ounce, around
which one turn has been made with
the end of skein of an old fash
toned gray stocking yarn, is slipped
into the machine, then another, after
which the boy in charge touches a
lever, the machine starts and the
winding begins. The rubber ball is
thus hidden in few seconds, and in
its place appears little gray yarn
ball that rapidly grows larger and
larger. When it appears to be about
hall the size or the regulation Dase-
ball there is a click, the machine
stops, the yarn is cut, the boy picks
out the ball and losses it into the
basket.-Whcn this basket is full it
is passed along to another boy, who
runs a similar machine, where a half
ounce layer of worsted yarn is put on.
The next machine adds a layer of
strong white Gotten thread a coat
ing of rubber cement is next applied,
and half-ounce layer of the very
best fine worsted completes the ball
with the exception of the cover.

Burdett's Sermon on Life.

Man born of women is of few days
and no teeth, and indeed it would be
money in his pocket sometimes II he
had.less of either. As for his teeth
he had commissions when he cut them,
and as the last one comes through, 10!
the dentist is twisting the first one
out and the last 'end of that mans
Jaw is worse than the first, being full
of porcelain and roof-plate built to
to hold blackberry seeds. Stone
bruises line his pathway to manhood;
his father boxes his ears at home, the
big boys cuff him in the playground
and the teacher whips him in the
schoolroom. He buyeth Northwest
ern at 10, when he had sold short
at ninety-six, and his neighbors UNI
loadeth upon him Iron Mountain at
sixty-three and fve-eighths, and 1t
straightway breaketh down to fifty
two and one-fourth. He riseth early
and sitteth up late that he may fill
his barns and stOrehouses, and 10 !!
his children's lawyers divide the spoils
among themselves and say; "Ha !.
ha," He groweth and is sore dis
tressed because it raineth, and he
beateth upon his breast and sayeth
"my crop is lost" because it rain
eth not. The late rains blight his
wheat and the frost biteth his peach
es. If it be so that the sun shlneth,
even among the nineties, he sayeth
"Woe is me, for | perish" and If the
northwest wind sigheth down in for
ty-two below, he crieth, "Would l
were dead.' If he wears sackcloth
and blue Jean, men say "He is a
tramp" and if he goeth forth shaven
and clad in purple and fine linen, all
the people cry, "Shoot the dude!'
He carrieth insurance for twenty-five
years until he hath paid thrice over
for all his goods, and then he lette tn
his policy lapse one day, and that
same night fire destroyeth his store.
He buildeth him house in Jersey,
and his frstborn is devoured by mos
puitoes; he pitcheth his tents
in New York, and tramps devour his
substance. He moveth to Kansas,
and cyclone carryeth his house
away over into Missouri, while pra-
RE fire and 100000 acres of grass
hoppers fight for his crop. He set
tleth himself in Kentucky, and is
shot the next day by gentleman, a
colonel and statesman, because,
sab, he resembles, sab, man sab, he
did not like, sah."
Verify, there is no rest for the sole
of his feet, and if he had to do it over
again he would not be born at all, for
"the day of death is better than the
day of ones birth"

Horses at Rest.


the disposition of horses to lie down.
To hard working horse repose is
almost as great necessity as good
food, but tired as he may be, he is
often shy about lying down, even
when a. nice clean bed of straw is
provided for him. The writer once
rode a mare seventy miles in sim
gle day. The stable in which she
was put for the night was as comfor-
table in every way as it could be
made, yet she stood the whole night
through. She ate her oats and hay
and then went to sleep leaning for
ward with her breast against the
manger. There are horses that have
never been seen to lie down, and if
they have ever done so it was only
for short time and at an hour when
they We're not likely to be seen. No
marks have ever been discovered upon
their coats which would indicate that
they had been lying down. a horse
is recalled now that occupied for fif-
teen years, from the time he was two
years old, the first stall in grandfath-
er's stable. Up to the hour he died no
one had ever seen him lying down,
and several times after wearisOme
drives of about eight or ten hours a
watch was placed on him to see if
during the night he would lie down,
but he was never caught in that po-
sition, and he would not be tempted
to recline by even the sweetest and
cleauest of bedding. He died liter
ally upon his feet. He was taken
sick, and in giving him drench from
a long-necked bottle, with his head
pulled up to a beam, he suddenly
fell back and expired.
Unless horse lies down regularly
his rest cannot be complete, and his
Joints and sinews stiffen, and while it
is true that horses that sleep in a
standing position continue to work
many years, it is equally true that
they would continue to work for
many years longer and perform their
work much better if they ested ma t.
urally. Young horses from a coun-
try stable may refuse to lie down
when put into stable in town, and
they can also be taught to be as neat
and clearly in their habits as indi-
viduals.
1t is very rare thing for horses
afflicted with disease that superin-
duces fever to lie down. They will
stand up until nature becomes COM
pletely exhausted and their limbs re-
fuse to sustain them. They have an
instinct which teaches them that if
they lie down it may be difficult for
them to get upon their feet again.
sick horse, because Of his evident
knowledge Of his own condition and
his inability to communicate the SYM
toms and the nature Of it, commends
himself to human sympathy more
than any other kind. Horses have a
horror of death, and especially dread
death in their own kind. A horse
may be sick. with a stable full of horses
and the others will not notice him at
all, but the moment he dies there is
CONSERVATION throughout the entire
stable. A horse may be absolutely
fearless of every inanimate thing that
comes to his notice, but will be fright
ened beyond measure at sight Of one
of his own kind lying dead by the
roadside.

Tainting of Milk.

George A. Smith says: "a COW feed
ing on grass that grows in the immedi-
ate vicinity of any putrid animal matter
will give milk having the worst kind of
taint. / have case that came to my
knowledge last summer and which
proves this quite conclusively. A fac
tory in which cheeses were we'll made
had considerable trouble with the
cheeses getting off flavor when they
were about twenty days old. They
started thorough investigation and
found that the trouble came from GER
tain dairies where the pastures bordered
on small creek, and upon examination
of these pastures 1t was found that the
offal from slaughter-house had been
washed by the high water down along
the banks of the creek and lodged where
the cows had been feeding. 1t spoiled
the milk, that is, the germs of putrefac-
tion from this decaying animal matter
lodged on the grass and were taken into
the animal system. i am we'll satisfied
that if the requisite means are used the
milk will come to the factory very
nearly as good in July and August as in
September and d.October. The only ques-
tion is-will the dairymen use the
means?"
