HOW APUZZLE Was SOLVED,

When you want q certain article, you want
the best make of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
| is what puzzles you. isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for Won,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you arc pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one puz.
gle that has been solved for the people OF
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition of 1889 OF
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world. including those OF America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by a
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts. two OF whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers OF France
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, atjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as a further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor Of the No. 8 and No. IL Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 8, for family use, and the No. IL,
for manufacturing uses are the best in the
world to-day.
And now. when you want a sewing ma
chine, il you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. 0 Wheeler & Wilson machine. and if he
does not keep them. write to us for descrip-
tive catalogue. prices and terms.

No one knows whether the

as a defense against rain or as
a screen from the sun, but it
seems probable that the first
umbrellas We're sunshades. In
countries where very little
clothing is worn rain does not
make much difference, but the
sun is a power. Why shouldn't
the palm leaf be the first sum

umbrella as well as the fan.

On coins and in the rock
carvings of the ancients the
umbrella often shows its fam

that Jonas Hanway did not in
vent the umbrella, but he saw
the value of the eastern sun

fashion to carry this article o

difference between the umbrella

1t is announced that we are to
have an American smokeless
powder. Professor Charles E.
Munroe, government chemist at
the naval torpedo station at
Newport, has invented a pow
Ger that IS practically without
smoke and that has been found
to work admirable in tests with
the new three and six FOUNDER
rapid fire guns. Careful atten-
ton is to be paid to developing
and perfecting this compound,
and it is confidently asserted
that it will be equally available
for small arms.
There is nothing surprising
about this. American inyen-
tive ingenuity has led the world
for the past half century. II
would not be creditable to our
past national achievements in
this respect if we should con.
fess ourselves baffied by a prob.
lem that has already been solved
in Europe. Smokeless powder
and small caliber magazine
rifles will be necessities in the
warefare of the future. Amer.
can rifles are famous the world
over. Now that a demand fol
Iit has arisen we will undoubt
edly have American smokelesi
powder of equal efficiency.
