Tetherball is a new game of Eng
fish origin which possesses the pro.
nounced advantage of being played in
a few feet of lawn or courtyard. A
post eight feet high is set up, and to
this is attached cord having at its end
ball. The space of the grounds may
influence somewhat the length of the
string, which should be, however, not
less than eight nor more than ten feet
long. The ball is set in rotary motion,
and with tennis racquets the two play
ers endeavor in turn to hit it. The
game is said to be exciting, and decid-
edly warm contest, as the ball proves

All Paint is not Paint. Up

date nothing has been found that will
take the place of linseed oil in the
manufacture Of paint. The better the
oil, the better the paint. If, instead Of
pure linseed oil, the manufacturer
used an emulsion of oil, that is a mix
ture of oil and water (they mix oil and
water now-a-days), he cheapens the
cost of production, and makes a mix
ture that looks like paint, smells like
paint, and for that matter tastes like
paint; but, when you put it on your
house, it don't act like paint. But
how are you, layman in the paint
business, going to find out before you
buy it that it contains water? We
give you a hint: Water don't cost
as much as oil. So look out for the
very cheap paints, they may prove
very dear in the end. The Chiffon
Paints cannot be sold as low as the
water paints.

ocratic convention only reached nomina-
tion on the 3i2d ballot.
June 81, 1890, w. w. Dickerson was elect
ed to the vacancy left by Mr.. Carlisle, and
the next November he was elected to the
full term in the Fifty-second congress.
When it was announced that he was not in
it for reelection a struggle began for the
succession, nearly every one of the eight
counties having its favorite son. The third
day of the convention opened with but four
candidates, and there was such a rapid
changing of votes before the counting was
announced that decision seemed as far off
as ever,
When the delegates from Boone county
asked leave to withdraw for consultation,
one of them, John Lassing, shouted that
they would like to see 1.-THE committee on
stuff" which raised laugh of course.
The 37lst ballot resulted in te-36% for
Hallam, 3615 for Mccain. Then the con-
vention took freak-one of those pecu-
liar stampedes to which such bodies are
liable-the remarkable result being that
both the preceding favorites were left out
and the ballot resulted-for Berry, 40; for
Baker, 81, Then came the general love
feast and everybody's pledge to vote the
ticket
Hon. a. S. Berry, of Newport, the NOM
lnee, has made several attempts to 90 to
congress, but Mr. Carlse's popularity was
too much for him He was also a candi-
date against Governor Bucllner when the
latter got the nomination. Colonel Berry
has always been prominent in the politics
of his district, and at the present time is
the mayor of Newport. He is over six feet
tall, and is a handsome man noted for
considerable ability, who will probably
make his mark in congress- his nomination
being equivalent to election. He is a man
of great means, and made much of his
money in the Newport and Cincinnati ferry.

A Plan That VIII Save Labor and Pre-
vent Waste of Corn Fodder.
While the inventors of harvesting
machines are making successful progress
in constructing machinery drawn by
horses for cutting the corn crop, the
great majority of the corn fields in the
country at large are still harvested by
means of hand labor, and the following
suggestions from The Country Gentle
man are offered with view to abridge
labor and prevent much of the existing
waste by the needless exposure of the
corn fodder:
The practice of planting corn in
"hills' is still very largely pursued, and
when the crop is ripe enough and the
grain is well hardened it is cut by hand
and secured in shocks. These remain
several weeks till the season arrives for
husking and stacking, during which
time the shocks are exposed to storms,
and a portion of them are beaten down,
soaked with rain and rotted so as to be
of little value for fodder. A reason for

after weighing, cut open. We had never

dollars a pound. These tomatoes Were

iinperfection was that they were still

born without fear and without capacity
for getting giddy Every one laughed at
his reply to the interviewer in 1859 who
asked, WAS it not really very danger
ous?" ITO be sure The rope might have

He was born in the south of France, and
his name is Jean Francois Gravele. AT
twenty seven he was noted in the prov
inces, and the famous Ravel engaged him
for an American tour When his name
was signed Ravel said: "Pah! That will
never do for the billboard. Hal | see

Blondin. The Niagara performance made
him champion of the world, and he could
command his own price. He grew very
rich and retire but has recently given oc-
casional exhibitions to preserve his stand
ing in the profession.
His father was gymnast, and he began
rope walking at four years of age; but, he
says, rope walkers are born-not made.
None of his children was born that way,
and so none of them has been trained to it.
He has a small museum of trophies, but
he values none so highly as that presented
by the citizens of Niagara Falls in honor
of his carrying a man across the gorge on
tight rope on Aug. 10, 1859. He crossed
Niagara many times after that, but the
first time made him the worlds king in

Don't pretend you know, but really yield.
Sink your own opinions, but have great

they have gennine confidence in their own
opinions. They will more willingly admit
to themselves that they are wrong than
that you are right. 1t is the easiest thing
in the world to make them change their
views, only you must not seem to change
them. Let them do it Of their own will
and reason and intelligence. Then agree
with them always. 1t is the right thing
they have come to, and in SO coming they
have vindicated their superiority. it isn't
that they have agreed with you and 50

little triumph. The important thing is
that the man you are managing should be
