A good way to preserve specimens
of quartz from atmospheric decomposi-
tion is to give them coat of copa var.
nish. But the best method with such

and Saturday had cleared off two slight

were once brought here, but it is better
so than for our farmers to load them
selves down with lot of debts and in.
cumbrances in the present situation.
There is no surer road to prosperity and
independence than to pay as you GO.
