We, the people, read the newspapers

led me in as much as l am pretty vel

was properly called "Mays Hollow

Buy your goods elsewL.ro and tell
every person that there is no use in
trying to buy at home, for the prices
are too high and there is ne assortment
to select from. If some merchants
seem to prosper, urge others to. start
in opposition, or do it yourself. When
people talk of starting new enterprises
put in all your "buts" and "ifs;" and if
any person from another place talks of
moving to town tell him Of all its dis
advantages. Give no work to any local
mechanics without getting prices else
where, and then give preference to the
latter. In speaking of work done out
side of town mention its good points,
while of home work point out the de-
feets. Speak discouragingly of the
real estate market. If you have none
say you would not buy any at any
price; if you have some, put a very
high valuation on it, but offer il far
below this, saying you are willing tC
make the sacrifice in order TO dispose
of it.

Here is a message from Mr., Gladstone
to young men; BE sure that every one
of you has his place and vocation on this
earth, and that it rests with you to find
it. Do not believe those who too lightly
say nothing succeeds like success. Effort
honest, manful, humble effort--suc-
ceeds by its reflected action, especially in
youth, better than success; which, in
deed, too easily won and too early gained,
not seldom serves, like winning the first
throw of the dice, to blind and stupefy.
Be thorough in all you do, Work on
ward and work upward, and may the
blessing Of the Most High soothe yom
cares, clear your vision, and crown youI
labors.

"I have been troubled with dyspepsia. had
but little appetite, and what did eat distressed
me, or did me little good. In hour after eating
] would experience a faintness or tired, all-gone
feeling, as though 1 had not eaten anything.
Hoods SarsapaFilla did me an immense amount
Of good. 1t gave me an appetite, and my food
relished and satisfied the craving had previously
experienced. 1t relieved me Of that faint, tired,
allgone feeling. Ihave felt so much better since
took Hoods sarsaparilla, that am happy to
recommend It," G. A. PAGE, Watertown, Mass.

Cavalry, who brought a force to the
support of the agency police, took
charge of the body which was not mu-
tilated nor scalped. He had it carried
to Fort Yates, North Dakota, where it
was decently buried in coffin. What
ever the opinion entertained as to Sit
ting Bull and his taking off, inasmuch
as his influence tended always TO en-
broil his following with the dominant
race, his death will doubtless result in
benefit to his own people. =

Gated sufficiently the friendly feeling
which, in common with nearly all army
men, feel for the Indians. not onlv
friendly feeling but admiration for
many of their qualities, | can not hone
to do so in brief paragraph. The
American people, those who really
wish and hope to save the Indians
from extinction or degradation, must
be prepared to use great patience and
summon all their wisdom. Indians
(the men) naturally look upon the arts
of peace very much as the knights of
the past ages did. War is their pas
time; by it come glory, honor, leader
ship: 1t is unlikely that the place of
the Indians as peaceful citizens will APP
proach their place as warriors. GUS

the other justly to punish them, have
been too greatly lacking. 1t remains
yet to be seen whether the future will

How a Mirror Is Made.

We have been asked to give a brief
description of how mirror is made.
Here it is: A large stone table is used,
which has underneath it a screw, by
means of which the table can be in
clined when desired. Around the edge
of the table is groove, the use Of which
will be made known presently. While
the surface of the table is perfectly
level, tin-foil is carefully laid all over
it. A strip of glass is then laid on each
of three sides Of the foil, and quicksil-
yer is poured on till it is nearly a quar-
ter of an inch deep. The affinity of
the quicksilver for the tin-foil, and the
obstruction made by the strips of glass
prevent it from flowing off. The plate
of glass intended for the mirror, having
been carefully cleaned, is now slipped
in upon the quicksilver through the
side where no glass strip was plac, d,
ard is held firm while the table is in
clined by means If the screw, so as to
let the supertiuous quicksilver run off
into the groove along the edge of the
table. That having been done, the Ia
BILE is brought back to level, heavy
weights are put upon the glass and it is
then left for several hours. The next
step is to take the glass from the table
and put it in frame, the coated side
up. The coating, or amalgam, as it is
technically called, soon becomes so dry
as to allow the plate to stand on its
edge, but it cannot be used for several
weeks longer. This method of making
mirrors is the best in use, and was in
vented by the Venetians in the sixteenth
centuiy.-Selected.
