To the Farmer.

Do not carry your grains to other
markets this season. Do not try to in
jure your own village and yourselves by
patronizing other places, so long as you
can get as good prices, in the long run,
in your own town. There is nothing
that will more enhance the value of
your own farms than having a
good village near and good market;
and we are doing all in our power to
make it good market. There are no
farmers in this locality who work hard
er on their farms than myself do, for
nearly the whole season. | am willing
to earn my bread by the sweat of my
brow, and think do. / am also will
ing to buy and handle your grain for a
reasonable compensation and think |
do, as you may see | am not growing
rich very fast in the business, Do not
sell your grain this season until you see
us first. You can not build up every
four-corners. You can have but one
good village in this locality, and the
better this place is patronized the bet
ter able our merchants will be to sell
their goods at reduced prices. And
the more grain we handle the cheaper
we can handle it. Now, do throw off
this cold prejudice and give us your
patronage. If you fairly consider this
| matter you will see that we should
have your patronage. THOs. HICKEY

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth Of hair. i am ready TO certify to this
statement before justice of the peace."-
IL. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after a severe attack or
brain fever, my hair all came out. l used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short Of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Vgor, which brought q
growth of hair in a few weeks. l think
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative but liked it
rs dressing and have continued to use it
for that purpose. l believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

PROPERTIES OF QULCKsAND.

The properties of quicksand are thus
described ia the Mechanical NenS "The
difference between building sand and
true quicksand is most easily explained
by comparing building sand to road
metal, while the quicksand must be
represented by fragments no larger than
large buckshot, but shaped like very
smooth potatoes. In word, the quick
sand is small and thoroughly waterworn,
so that every fragment has been deprived
of all its angles and fairly well-polished.
Its particles are very small as compared
with those of the building sand. The
smaller the size and themore complete
the rounding the more nearly will the
sand approach liquid condition when
it is moistened The first glance at a
fairly mounted sample of quicksand UNI
der microscope is sufficient to show
that the qulckness of the sand is amply
accounted for by the innumerable fric-
tion wheels which the particles themselves
furnish. Sharp or building sand, on
the other hand, will show few round cor
ners, many angles, corners and general
condition like that of broken stone. Sea
sand is often unfit for building, even
though perfectly deprived OF its salt, the
reason being that the particles have been
worn and polished till they have no more
binding powers than so many cobble-
stones. 1t is well to remember that
quicksand when dry, is very fine, shows
the same properties as liquid In hol-
ding up the eenters of large bridges it is
sometimes put into cylinders with a plum
ger on top Of it. 1t will, when thus con-
fined, hold up the load like a column of
water. When it is desired to strike the
center plug lis drawn out of the side
of the cylinders, and the sand flows out
like so much water. The advantage, of
course, is that the sand does not need a
packed piston, and does not leak out,
though the work be prolonged for years.
Quicksand when dry and confined forms
an admirable foundation, and when wet
can be loaded over its whole surface, and
give good support Eif side openings can
be avoided"

Tho New "Finger" PRAYER Book,

Henry Frowde, Of Oxford university,
has designed series of prayer books, the
novelty and merit of which consist alike
in their diminutive size and the beauty
of their binding. tbs difficult to believe
that book of nearly 700 pages will 60
into the waistcoat pocket or into the purse,
but such is the delicacy of the workman
ship and the compactness of the binding
that no difficulty will be found in such a
method of carriage. The tiny volume,
bound in morocco and velvet, which Mr..
Provide has called the Finger" prayer
book, weighs about quarters of an
ounce, is only one inch in breadth, three
and half inches in length and one-third
of an inch in thickness. To get go pages
and two morocco covers into the thick
ness of one-third of an inch is a marvel
of paper making and binding. One speci-
men is contrived to hang on the chate-
laine; case is made of silver, consisting
of double cross, one for each of the vel
vet covers Of the book, and this both adds
to the beauty of the volume and serves to
keep it in compact form. A ring is
added, which serves for attachment to a
chain. An edition is also issued without
the calendar and the occasional services,
thus reducing the thickness by one-third
and the weight to about half an ounce
