Leather Brake Shoes.

A company has been formed in New
South Wales for the purpose of exploit
ing the manufacture of railway brake
shoes from compressed leather. Waste
leather scraps are stepped in a solution
and subjected to a hydrrulic pressure to
mold them to any desired shape. The
leather shoe is said to possess distinct ad-
vantages over that of iron, with superior
efficiency in every way. The leather
shoe weighs Al pounds against 21t
pounds for iron, and will wear three
times as long. More than this it has a
greater coefficient of friction, so that
forty pounds air pressure is as effective
as seventy pounds with iron brake shoes.
There is one pre- eminent benefit which
the introduction Of the leather brake
shoe would confer on communities which
are subjected to the necessary evil of the
elevated railroads. They would thus be
spared the dangerous shower Of iron par
ticles, which now injure so many eyes.
An attempt has already been made to
remedy this serious source of danger by
the use of compressed paper. This, how
ever, was found to be impracticable. 1t
is earnestly to be hoped that the new
shoe will stand the test of practical
work. Commercial AdUertiser.

A Young Lawyers SAjterfuge.

A young lawyer in an eastern city,
says the Bath (Mc.) Independent, secured
one of his first clients in this way He
was attending card party and noticed
that an old and wealthy citizen had
taken /: :a.c .oi &c from his pocket to
keep the score on. He spoke to him
about it and was told that the note was
worthless. "But, sir, am sure can
collect it for you," the limb of the law
replied. "Wcll, you can have half of it
if you do" said the owner, and handed
it over. The young man failed to Sc.
cure the money and was about returning
the note when a thought struck him.
"Mr. -, have collected that note
for you," he said. "What? You haven't
though" exclaimed the delighted capi-
talist. "Yes, sir, and here's your half, I"
the lawyer replied, taking from his
pocket $S of his own hard earned cash
and giving it to the old man. The re-
suit was that the capitalist concluded
that if the young lawyer was capable of
collecting such debt rs that he was
equal to anything. and he transferred
all his extensive legal business into his
hands.

OBJECTIONS TO OPEN DITCUES.

Open bitches should only be made
where absolutely necessary. The reason
is obvious: tile drain will generally
cost but little if any more than properly
constructed open ditch with sufficiently
sloping banks. Fields can he cultivated,
hauling done in less time and with less
inconvcpi fences, beside the additional
ground to cultivate, which would be
waste land if tho ditch were left opon
s4Here>fs constant demand for the deep
ening and widening of bitches, aud this
deEnaHu will continue until their bottoms
are sunk low enough not TO obstruct the
discfiargc'of the tile drains. The bottom
of an open ditch should be at least two
feet below the necessary depth of tile
drains, to prevent tho tile from being
filled up and obstructcd by the cvcr-ac-
cumulating sediment in the bottom.
Probably the best way to treat this lie
post of sediment would be to make bank
slopes not to exceed two to one, or still
fMtor, which will greatly reduce The
cost Of cleaning out the ditch and keep
ing it i'll repair, by blowing and scrap
ing out the deposit and spreading it on
the adjacent land. The above is from

came on. He left, and was supposed to
have gone to the camp, but early next
morning his squaw appeared at the house
and said he had not come homo that
night, and as the night was cold she had
been anxious about him. Then the search
for the lost Indian began.
He was found il one of the sheds near
the barn under heap of drifted snow,
and the chances are that the snow that
was above him had helped to save his
life. The searchers for the Indian had
gone in different directions and it was
his own squaw who, with true Indian in
stinct, had tracked him out, and she
was alone when she found him. Appar-
emily the Indian was frozen corpse. She
tumbled him out of the snow bank and
dragged him down to the creek, where a
deep hole was cut in the ice for the pur-
pose of watering the cattle. Laying the
Indian out on the SNOW, She took Aho
pan that was beside the hole, and, fill
ing it repeatedly, dashed pailful after
paiful of ice water over the body of the
Indian. by the time the other unsuc-
cessful searchers had returned she had
her old man thawcd out aud seated by
the fire wrapped up in blankets. There
is no question that if he had been found
by the others, and had been taken in the
house frozen as he was, hc would have
died.-Detroit Free Press.

is THE MOLE A NUISANCE

There arc many people who consider
moles a nuisance and cndcavor in every
way to get rid of them, in the belief that
they destroy vegetables, cat seeds and
planted grains, and in many ways damage
the crops, bosidcs making gardens ard
grounds unsighty 10y their borrowings.
Others, while admitting the undesirable
ness Of their undcrgrounds roads, believe
they do more good than harm in the de-
struction Of worms, bugs, etc, that
would more iniurously abound were it
not for the molcs. a Vinchnd IN -
correspondent of much experience has
heretofore said in the UorM that he has
followed their runs through potato hills
and road beds Of every kind, also among
his Strawberries, blackhcrrics, etc, and
has never yet found any injury from
them, and he concludes that they SubSist
entirely on worms, bugs and the like that
get into runways, and are therefore
among the farmers and gardeners best
friends. An Ohio correspondent has also
spoken good word for the molcs,
especially on meadow lands. Much other
testimony OF similar character might he
given. On the contrary, there are per-
sons who assert positively that moles do
eat grain, and recitc instances that sus-
tain them in their belief. Upon the
whole. with much conflicting evidence
on the subject, it is deemed safe to say
that the mole is essentially inScctivcrous
in ito habits, aud unless impcllcd by
hunger from scarcity of its favorie food
rarely affects vegetation iniuriously.
Dropping castor oil beans in their runs
is said 10 have the effect of Keeping them
away.--N>n York Jy0yH.

THE USE OF SODA TO CLEAN WINDOWS

THE USE OF SODA TO CLEAN WINDOWS.
Persons who have had now windows
to wash will be sure to recollect the
botheration caused by tho streaks of
putty oil and drops OF paint. More than
half tho labor OF removing these may be
saved by taking a wet cloth, dipping it
into ordinary baking soda and rubbing
the paste thus made thinly over the
glass. After this has been suffered to
remain about fifteen minutes it can be
easily removed by washing in warm, soft
water, without soap, bringing oil and
stains with it. If the glass is then
rubbed dry and aftcrward polished with
dry whiting and chamois skin, the most
fastidious eye can discover no blcmish.
