OYSTERS AND SEEDS.

Are valuable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the
same appearance. Any one can tell a
worthless oyster Oh opening it. The
value of seed must be determined by
its growth. This makes it's quality
worth considering. You want seeds
that will grow, and you want the pro-
duct to be of value. You cannot insure
either of these things by mere inspec-
tion. There is but one guarantee; the
reliability of the firm from which you
buy. That our advertisers, Messrs. D.
M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Mich, are
most reliable, is attested by the fact
that millions buy seeds from them year
after year. Their enormous business
furnishes the highest proof of their re-
liability. Their Seed Annual for 1892
is a model Of it's kind-illustrated, de-
scriptive, priced. It contains informa-
tion Of great value to any one about to
plant seeds. Sent free on application

Republicans Must Go.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 3.-The news
from Washington in the Boyd -Thayer
gubernatorial contest was very cheer
ing to the democrats of this city, who
never for moment have lost faith in
the ultimate success of their chieftain.
They went about the city today wear
ing broad smiles and giving each other
hearty hand shakes over what to them
seemed a reality. Chairman Blake, of
the independent alliance party, who
was originally democrat, said tonight
that the news was particularly pleas
ing to him and il Boyd was seated
again the democrats and Independents
would unite in the next campaign and
sweep every republican in the state out
of office. Mr.. Blake is the gentleman
who so successfully conducted the in
dependent alliance canvass of 1890.
The republicans haven't much to say
over the reports. They simply advise
waiting until the opinion has been
filed before making any boasts or pre-
dictions. At the executive office the
news is discredited and believed to be
a fake of the purest kind. Gov. Thayer
says that he began the proceedings be-
cause he believed it to be his duty to
thoroughly test the question of Boyd's
eligibility. He will be satisfied with
the results. The democrats say that
Boyd's second Inauguration will be a
hummer.

giving any material increase of speed.
After balancing the body on the left
foot, give slight sidelong push with
the right, at the same time swing the
body forward as the skate glides along
the ice. AS soon as the skater feels
that he has put all the power in the
stroke, quickly bring up the right foot
on level and close by the left. placing
the weight of the body on the right and
with sidelong push with the left and
throw the weight of the body forward
ON the right foot as the skate glides
along the ice; after all the power has
been put IN the stroke bring up the left
foot and continue as before, always
bearing in mind to keep your balance.
Some writer's have said that throw
my weight on the outside edge of nv
skates. but this is incorrect. I have
found in skating over field of hard,
smooth ice, that made no marks at
all except at the end of the stroke.
The skater should start out as straight
ahead as possibleand not swing off from
straight line as do many skaters who
think they must do this to be graceful.
This swinging off on the outer edge of
the skate is called the Dutch roll, and
many labor under the delusion that it
style of Hollands speed skaters. But
such is not the case, as the Dutch cham
pions strike out as straight ahead as
possible. In skating against a strong
wind bend as low down as an angle of
As degrees, so as to present as little re-
slstance to the wind as possible. Ska
ting with the wind stand up a little
straighter than ordinarily so as to get
as much help from the wind as YOU
can. In racing distances Of quarter
OF mile OF under the stroke should be
shortened and quickened land the arms
should be swung rapidly from side to
side. The skater should always en-
deavor to breathe through the nostrils
and keep the mouth firmly closed. At
first it may be a little hard to do this,
but with practice it can be easily ac-
complished. If he finds after suffi-
cient trial that he cannot keep the
mouth closed pad shoule be worn over
the mouth and fasten it around the
head with an elastic cord. A pad made
of two or three thicknesses of chamois
skin is the best. This will keep the
cold air from blowing directly on the
lungs, which may produce fatal results.
