A STRANGE realty suit was recent
" pending in the Chicago courts
An unborn child is the defendant in
a suit involving $4,000. The liti-
CATION cannot be settled until ser
Vice has been obtained personally on
the babe. J. P. Bishop & Co., re-
atty brokers, bought under a con-
tract, piece of property covering
twenty acres. The land was sold at
a profit of $500 an acre. During
the life of the contract the owner
died, and the property passed INTO
the hands of the heirs. The heir
apparent in the case was so far only
apparent, and in order to close the
deal the case was taken into the
courts, and it was decided that by
obtaining service on the unborn
child the transfer under the contract
signed during the fathers lifetime
could be legalized. Accordingly
the property passed into the hands
of the purchasers. But it happened
that the new purchaser sold tn
property. and the abstract was ia
ken to Judah & Willard for examin
alton. This firm declared there wa
a flaw In the title, and would no
pass favorably upon it, stating tina
service on the unborn child was no
sufficient, but that it was necessar
to await the birth of the baby. AZ
cordingIy both parties are awaitin
it. 1t was impossible to obtain Sc
vice without knowing the name
the party TO the case, and as the sc
was not assured, the name could NJ
be presupposed. Moreover, the u
born heir may be twins or even tril
let's. But the snarl does not eve
stop here. Surprising that on Il
birth of the child the guardian a
pointed refuse to indorse the actit
Of the father, and the late purchas
held Bishop to his contract, thu
the only recourse left by Mr. Bisht
would be to obtain service on Il
deceased, if his address can be o
tanned.

a Perss v~ring Prisoner.

"Pcrscverance will accomplish every

them. II is n great thing to have pcrso-

shut up in n dungeon with walls 20 feet
thick. made Of the hardest kind of stone.
He had mo- tools except n pair of scissors
which his brother had s"nt him i'm n loaf

the dungeon with the scissors and escape
IL il took him u hundred years.
He had been digging about n year whom
the governor parloned him. and the jailcr
brought him the joyful news. But they
couldu't get him to leave the dungeon. He
told the jailcr that he had undertaken to
n that way, and that he was going to
stick to- il mo matter how long il might
take. The jailcr urged him to give il up
and walk out OF the door, and even offered
him SO to give up his dungeon to "a new
lotigcr. hut nothing could induce him to
change his mind. So he stayed i'm the
dungeon and dug away at the wall for
forty-seven years, and every six months
he had tn pay "a big bill for damages to

half through the wall. This shows what
a splendid thing perseverance, il. and that

MACHINE MILKING.
A Scotchman Who Thinks He Has Sue
cessfully Accomplished 1t.

A Scotchman Who Thinks He Has Sue
cessfully Accomplished 1t.
1t is a Scotchman this time that is
trying to milk cows by machinery.
From the Kilmarnock Standard comes
an account of a patent milking device
by one Murchland. The apparatus,
briefly described, is as follows: An air.
pump at one end of the COW stable is
connected with an iron pipe which runs
along over the shoulders of the COWS
high enough to be out of reach. Over
each cow is branch of rubber tube
which connects with a closed milk pail
When in use the milk pail is swung
underneath the animal and strapped to
it by broad band over the loins. The
top of the milk pail terminates in a
neck, from which radiate four rubber
tubes ending in little cups which fit on
the teats of the animal to be MIXED.
Each teat-cup is provided with stop
cock. When the pail has been properly
placed and the teat-cups attached, the
stop-cocks are opened and the air
exhausted by moving the lever of the
air-pump. At once, four little jets of
milk. pulsating with each beat of the
animals heart, begin to flow, and in
eight or ten minutes the udder is empty.
One attendant is supposed to manage
several machines.
The inventor claims that by this
method the natural milking of the cow
by the calf is initiated. So much for a
description of the machine. The lead
ing question is: Will it work satisfac-
torily? We have been told that the
suction of the air-pump will draw blood
from the udder if tho vacuum pressure
continues after the quarter has been
emptied. 70 avoid this the stop-cocks
are turned before the milk is quite all
drawn. 1t is useless to have one at
tendant for each machine, for then he
might as well do the milking himself.
Since the milk flow is not usually equal
from the different quarters of the udder
we cannot see how an attendant can al
ways be on hand to turn the stop-cock
just at the right time. A single mis-
take now and then would bring more
trouble than the whole system is worth.
There have been many milking ma
chimes put on the market, and all have
failed. Ingenious as is this Scotch de-
vice we fear it must go the way of all
the others and hand-milking continue.
Unfortunate it is, yet some processes in
our agriculture seem incapable of being
materially shortened by machinery

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
USE SHARP SAWS.
Instructions How They May Always Be
Kept In Good Order.

Instructions How They May Always Be
| Kept In Good Order.
The first thing to do when putting a
saw in order is to ascertain if the teeth
are of equal length. II not, the saw
needs iointing. If the saw goes straight
through the log itdoes not need iointing.
But If the person who files it does not
use it he must trust to the eye to de-
eide whether the teeth are of equal
length. If a wise is not at hand to hold
the saw, cut a kerr three or four inches
deep in the top of stump or the end of
log. Place the saw in this and fasten
it with a wedge. The stump should
be nearly breast-high to be convenient.
To joint the saw, remove the file
handle and hold the file as nearly
level as possible between the thumb
and fingers and run it lengthwise of the
saw, drawing the file backward instead
of pushing it forward. When filing the
teeth do not file them to sharp point,
but leave the end nearly as large as the
head end of very fine sewing-needle.
Few saws will stand to cut through
hard knots if filed to a sharp point.
The points of the teeth will break and
the saw will be in no better condition
for business than before filing.
The next work after filing the cutting
teeth, is to set them. This is best ac-
complished by using saw-set made as
follows: Take thin piece of steel with
hole punched through one end about
as Far from the edge as the teeth are
long. Have slot cut from the edge of
this steel to the hole, trifie wider than
the thickness of the saw. The best
guage is made by putting q small screw
with the joint fled sharp through the
end of stick three-eighths of an inch
square and four inches long. Adjust
the screw to the width you wish the saw
set, take the guage in the left hand and
place it against the left-hand side OF the
saw as you stand facing it from one end.
The end of the screw that projects
over the teeth will show how far the
teeth on the right hand side of the saw
