Any Farmer Can Make This and win

Wo illustrate herewith very con-
venient corn-marker, from sketches and
descriptions furnished by N. E. Teels,
Erie County, Pa Any farmer can make
it during the wintry days. 1t Is free
from the excessive weight which makes
many other similar implements clumsy
and difficult to handle. The largest
stick in it is piece Of scantling four
inches square, eight and half feet
long This is of whitewood or pine. To
this are bolted two peeled hemlock
poles, ton fee* long. Of suitable size for
shafts Tho large ends are beveled to
give the correct upward slant A cross
bar of inch boards ten inches WIDE is
the lower ends. Two hooks are set into
this, to which the horse may he at
tached. The runners are each made Of
plank, two and half inches thick, six
inches wide, and two feet long; rounded
up at tho front like sled-runner. A
notch, half an inch deep, admits the bed
piece.
A half-inch bolt is firmly driven into
tho middle of each notch in the runner,
projecting five inches, with screw-thread
cut on the upper end. This bolt is to
project through half-inch hole bored
for the purpose in the bed-piece, and a
nut and washer fastens it. The middle
marker is a cultivator tooth set into .
stick three by four inches, twelve inches
long, loosely bolted between two pieces
of similar size, each eight inches long,
which are halved and firmly bolted to
the bed-piece. On each side is a tracker
to aid the operator in maintaining uni
form distance between the rows. Each
tracker is of pine or whitewood, five feet
long, two inches thick and three inches
wide at the large end, tapered to two
inches at the other end. A half-inch
hole in the large end for the bolt which
holds it to the bed-piece.

ALL ABOUT SPONGES.

II You Want Good Article 1t VIII Cost
You Twenty Dollars.
Charles Wood has for many years pur-
chased sponges for drug firm of Bos-
ton. Talking of the article the other
day he said:
Good sponges have become SO ex-
pensive that they are luxury to be en-
joyed only by those we'll to do OF
course you can buy reef sponge cheap,
a small one costing only few cents;
but if you want Turkey cup sponge
large enough for bathing purposes you
will have to pay 81 or IS. Sponges
come all sizes; the largest one
l ever saw measured twenty inches
across. These very large sponges are
apt not to be perfect, and they do not
bring as good prices as smaller and more
perfect ones The largest of the perfect
kind measures about fourteen inches
across the top and nine inches through,
such sponge being worth about $40.
It is too large for bathing purposes and
too expensive TO be used in washing
carriages, and is kept by dealers for a
chance customer. A good size bathing
sponge is about eight inches across the
top and five through. and is worth So.
THE expensive sponges are bought
principally by physicians and dentists,
and are used much in administering
ether. There are very many people
who can not tell the difference between
Turkey cups and common reef sponges,
and they are astounded at the difference
in price. They are asked So for what
they think they can get just as good for
Is cents. There are sponges from
Florida called Sleeps wool, which, in
the opinion Of many buyers, are as good.
although much cheaper, for all practical
purposes as the silk ones. They are
used mainly for washing carriages, al
though they make good bathing
sponge. Reef sponges come from Cuba
and Nassau, Turkey cups from around
islands of the archipelago. Sleeps
wool and reef sponges come in 10, 30 and
10 pound bales, and the finest OF the
former, known as Rock Island goods,
sell wholesale at from $3.50 to 50. Is per
pound. The Turkey cups are sorted at
London and Paris into three qualities
and sent to us in BAGS. They are sold

of serving bananas in New Orleans is to
cut them lengthwise in two pieces,
dust them with powdered sugar, a

basted with the butter once or twice
while baking, and served hot in the
dish in which they are cooked.

Congressman Bullock Will Expose Re-
publican Methods in Florida.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Congressman
Bullock of Florida will not be unseaued,
and the contestant, Goodrich, may find
himself in very uncomfortable place be-
fore long. For some time Mr.. Bullock has
been quietly taking testimony from the
principal witnesses for the contestant, and
is now prepared TO submit to the committee
on elections, next Tuesday, affidavits from
all of them to the effect that the evidence
presented by the contestant having been
given by them was not their evidence at all
but was manufactured for the occasion.
Mr.. Bullock says it would not be proper to
give out these afl1davits In advance of their
presentation to the committee, but
that he will say that they
throw flood Of light
upon the methods OF the republican politi-
clans in Florida, and that if they are true
the contestant will be in danger of the peni-
tentiary. Goodrich put in a general denial
in advance, but the affidavits will certainly
keep Bullock in his seat, whatever other
effects they may have on Goodrich. The
COMMITTEES heard the argument in this case
several weeks ago, but has not reached a
decision as yet.
