A New orange and Lemon Peeler.

A remarkably ingenious and simple
orange and lemon peeler is now being
introduced by which it is claimed
that 1000 oranges may be peeled
without soiling finger or glove or los
ing drop of juice. The peeler is a
piece of wire, nickel-plated, aud very
much in the shape of a button-hook,
but with a tiny blade let into the
inner bend of the hook. When the
point of the hook is drawn into the
fruit it slides between the pulp and
the peel without danger of entering
either, while the blade divides the
peel easily and rapidly, after which
it way be removed without trouble.

the building decided that the boat would
have to be unloaded. The agony of this,
he said, was excruciating. First, the
boat was moved to the south end of the
elevator. There was 'h-e-o-l
h-e-a-v-e' and u clanking of ropes and
pulleys, when suddenly the long marine
leg of the elevator with its endless belt
of buckets was ruthlessly thrust into the
canalboat and.began its work Some of
the little kernels of wheat were crushed,
and all were terrified. The man with
the shovel was on hand again gathering
them up from the ends of the boat, and
before they knew 1t they were all up on
the top floor of the elevator again, ready
to be weighed and sent through the bins
once more alto a train of cars bound for
New England. The marine leg was pull
ed up out of sight when the boat was emp
tied, and when / saw this little kernel he
was heartbroken at having been left be-
hind by his companions.
"He was a whole fortnight in that ele-
vator. sometimes on the floor, at others
in grain bins, and once he was tossed on
to a mans hat brim, where he lay until
he was shaken off into a bin of wheat

the place isn't worth the telling. He
told me about big belt in the north end
of the building which turns all of the

THE belt is 800 feet long and Al feet

shaft is connected with the lofters, which

The ..Hie Dipper.v

In astronomy the big Dipper," SO
called, is in the constellation OF Ursa
Major or the Great Bear. The stars
forming the tail of the bear also form
the handle of the dipper. The first
star in the handle is Benetnasch; the
second Mizar; the third Alioth. The
other four, which go to form the bowl
Of the dipper are Megres, Phad,
Merak, and Dudhe. The two last are
called "The Pointers" because they
point or guide the eye to the pole star,
which is distant 30 degrees. The top
stars are 10 degrees and the bottom
ones s degrees apart.

Democrats, to Your Guns.

The political contest has now taken
shape, and every man can now de-
eide AS to what is his duty. The
Democratic nomination may not be
just what many desired-we can't all
have our choice in such things. II
farmers are disappointed in this par
ticular, ii is their own fault that they
have suffered themselves to be led
off by designing agitatOrs, re-
fusing to stand by the conservative
element in the puy who were
willing to grant Thorn every practical
and reasonable d, mand, Now they
are helpless in obtaining any de-
mand through the Third party.
They can only do themselves injury
by voting for the C0nglomelatiOn OF
issues of the Weaver Field platform,
which mean everything. You can
do no more than give this State to
the Republicans, aud receive in re-
turn a force bill and be bound in
everlasting political slavery.
There is but Que solution to the
question, which must guide every
rational, true Southern man, and that
is to vote the straight Democratic
ticket in defense of home, State
rights, political liheity, and relief
from eXorbItant taxation. The con
test is on and will be hot. Every
Democrat must take sides and stand
to his gun. 1t is work, work, work {;
