Never try TO wear a shoe too small
or hat docs not fit when first put on.
Never let your shoes get hard or dry.
DO not let il run down al the heel or
the side. Never wear into the welt or
iE>ole. a shoe repaired in lime will
retain its shape and afford comfort.
and will be found true economy.
Never put wet shoes by the fire TO dry.
but dry them gradually and slowly.
Never dry a wet shoe witOnt first ap-
plying some oil and greasc-castor-oil
or tallow is the best. The steam gen.
Grated in n wet boot or shoe will scald
il and cause it TO crack. Do not Use
too much force in polishing-a gentle
brushing with Il soft brush is better
than the vigorous work of the boot

backing on your shoes. Wash, it of

in February. 1852. Was taken up and

The coffin, when opened. revealed a
phenomenon perhaps never before
recorded. AT the time of her death
Mrs. Darby was in her seth year. but
had lost all of her teeth some year,
before. The open mouth in the coffin
revealed, in a face as natural as when
last seen by the Borrowing relatives. a
new and complete growth of teeth
quite an inch in length. \ sprig of
myrtle placed upon the breast of the

propose to give prosecuting officers all
the assistance in their power TO cure
the punishment of those who violate
the moral and criminal laws of the

"IN GoD WE TRUST"
How Z his Legend Game TO be Stamped
or Our Coin.

Or our Notn.
/ The origin OF this motto on our gold
and silver coins, according TO the
Brookigh Eagle. is as follows: The
motto. In God We Trust which is
now stamped Oh all gold and silver
coins Of United States money, was
suggested by all honest. G~od-fearing
old farmer of the State of Maryland.
He thought that our national coinage
should indicate the Christian character
of this nation. and by introducing a
motto upon lis CONS express a national!
reliance upon divine support in gov
ornamental affairs. In 1861, when Sal
mon Z. Chase was Secretary of the
Treasury. he wrote him and suggested
that. As we claimed TO be a Christian
people. we should make suitable
recognition of tina. fact on our coin
age. The letter was referred TO the
Director of the Mint. James Pollock.
of Pennsylvania. In Mr.. Pollock's re-
port for lS62he discussed the question
OF a recognition Of the sovereignty Of.
God and our trust in Him on Our
coins. The proposition TO Introduce a
motto upon orr coins was favorably
considered Ey Mr.. Chase. and in the
report he said he did notdOubt that il
would meet with an approval by an
intelligent public sentiment. But
Congress gave no attention TO the
suggestion. and in his next annual re-
port he again referred TO the subject.
this time in a firm. theological argu-
nicnt. and said. The MOTTO suggested.
Cod Our Trust. i. taken from our
national hymn, The Star-Spanglcd
Banner The sentiment is familiar to
every citizen of our country: it has
thrilled millions of American frecmcn.
The time is propitiOus: It's an hour of

when mans strength Is weakness,
when our strength and salvation must
be of God. Let us %rcverantly ac-

This has been well called the age of
invention. Ii is so full of wonders of
engineering and mechanics that we
may he pardoncl Tor feeling a distinct
superiority yer II POOR. ignorant
fortfathers. They VI had the bliss
of standing in a crowded elevated car
and hanging on the strap while fat
women and laborcrs with hob-nailed
boots carefully walked on their pet
corns. They never eve felt the un-
Speakable joy of dropping a nickel in
the slot Of an automatic Weighing ma
chine and then finding u that the
thing wouldn't weigh. But we di-
grcss.
What we desire TO do is TO call the
attention of everybody. and especially
of our rural readers. TO a recent Won
derful and useful invention of which
Nj. J. G.. Thompson. of Homer, Ind.
is the author. The invention is n self
| acting COW mixer. 1t is thus Gc-
scribrd in the columns OF Gn esteemed
rural contemporary:
An eccentric. three inches in di-
ameter. is attached to the cows jaw.
From this leads a wire connecting
with elastic nipples on the udder, each
OF which is fitted with a valve. making
it an air pump when in motion. When
the COW chews her food the eccentric
rcvolvcs and the wire is worked back
and forth Ikea piston, creating sue
ton in the nipples. The milk as it is
drawn runs into a bucket suspended
below"
Our contemporary %naively adds that
"the invention will relieve the dairy
man of much labor" We should think
| so, indeed. And the dairywoman, also.
For as the COW to whom our rom
| temporary alludes gradually eats her
WAY back and forth across the green
| pastures. the motion of her jaws Will
draw the milk from her udder as fast
is it finds its way there. Further
more. the mere motion of her walking
will keep the milk in the bucket IL
contemporary describes in a constant
state of agitation. The complete
churninS OF the milk into pure sweet
butter will naturally follow. This re-
suit will be especially sure If the hired
boy. after the universal fashion of
hired boys. will drive the cows TO the
yard al 4 smart gallOp at night.
Imaginc the satisfaction of the weary
but worthy member of the Farmers
: Ali: nee when at sunset his cows
come home each with Il nice lot of
butter, warranted strictly fresh, in the
bucket dangling below Eer generous
uddcr.
On second thoughts, however. we
fear that we have discovered a slight
flaw in the striking invention of Mr..
j. G. Thompson. How will that i'll.
vention work if during the long sum.
mer day the row to whom ii is attached
should lie down? What would become
of the milk and butter in the bucket
in that case? We anxiously await ell
lightenment on this important subject
