Many ladies have used our machines
twenty to thirty years in theirfamily work,
and are still using the original machines
we furnished them a generation ago.
Many Of our machines have run more
than twenty years without repairs, other
than needles. With proper care they
never wear out, and seldom need repair.
We have built sewing machines for
more than forty years and have constantly
improved them. We build our machines
on honor, and they are recognized every
where as the most accurately fitted and
finely finished sewing machines in the
world. Our latest, the "No. g." is the
result of our long experience. In COM
petition with the leading machines of the
world, it received the Grand Prize at the
Paris Exposition of 1889, as the best,
other machines receiving only compli-
mentary medals ofgold, silver ndbronze.
The Grand Prize was what all sought for,
and our machine was awarded it.

Receive each trial as sent from
God.
Comparisons are only odius whel
you don't compare well.
Many woman who cannot driv'
a nail or a horse can drive man.
Keep close eye on the man who
wife is afraid to ask him for money.
The only thing we can lose that viii
make us poor is faith in God.
The true servant of God always gets
his pay in advance.
God will not go where his humbles
child is not welcome.
The Christian home is as great 6
foe as the devil has on earth.
The only true riches are those that
death cannot take from us.
Keep praise alive and there will be
no lack of joy in the heart.
One of two things is true. We
either give according to our means, OF
according to our meanness.
The Red Sea is for the most part
blue. 1t gets its name from the fact
that portions of it are covered by min
ute animalculse, which dye the surface
of the water red where they float.

POWER OF LovE.-Once there was q
/ little piece of iron which looked very
frail but was really very strong. One
after another had tried to break 1t but
failed.
"I'Il master it," said the axe; and
his blows fell heavily on the iron.
But every blow made his edge more
blunt, until it ceased to strike.
"Leave it to me-" said the saw ; and
with his relentless teeth, he worked
backward and forward on its surface
until they were all worn down ana
broken he fell aside.
"Ha, hap said the hammer. "
knew you wouldn't succeed. I'll show
you the way"
But fierce blow, off flew his head,
and the iron remained 9 before.
"Shall 1 trY?' asked the small, soft
flame.
They all despised the flame; but he
curled gently around the iron, en-
braced it, and never left, until it melted
uud his irresistible influence.
There are hearts hard enough to re-
sist the force of wrath, the malice of
and the fury of pride, so
as to make their acts recoil on their ad-
versaries but there is a power strong
er than any of these hard, indeed is
the heart that can resist love.

SLiyine IN the Air.o

"Living in the air." is sometimes
the surest and only way OF keeping
out of the mud. In certain sense We
all live in the air, but some ut much
higher attitudes that others. The
daily routine in every life becomes mo.
notOnous, aDnoyances creep in, vexa'
tions arise, trials thicken, dangers
threaten. Happy he who has secret
chamber in the air, into which he may
rise, and for time escape into peace
and rest 10 thousands the Chau-
tauaua Course has afforded this asy-
.lum, and they have forgotten their
griefs and cares and sOrdid troubles
while studying art, literature, history,
and science.
The habit once formed of retreating
daily tc this abode in the air for re-
freshment and recreation cannot cas-
lily be laid aside. The soul hungers
for nutIiment, and will not bc denied.
But how often must this nutriment be
taken in secret, because of lack of
sympethy in ones associates. We
annot afford to wear our hearts on our
leeves for DAVIS to peck at. And SO
we have to keep our happy secret to
ourselves, when we would gladly share
it with others.
Perhaps biography appeals to as
large class of readers as any depart
ment in literature. Not to be envied
is the person who can read the life of
a great man or woman and not he in
spired. ennobled by it. The first taste
we ad of this was in reading the life
of Mrs. Hemans, by her sister, years
and years ago. The tedium of dish
washing for family of twelve was as
though it were not. The incessant
calls or younger children (for an itin-
Grant couldn't then afford to hire a
nurse) were met with serene pa
tince we breathed enchanted air, and
resolved that some noble life should
ever he at hand for perusal, to "charm
panied steps over the burnt soil" of
daily dull routine and lift the soul
into unclouded sunshine. And we
have 'lived in the air" ever since,
though bearing as much care and toll
as falls to the common lot. And so we
can heartily recommend to everyone
to have retreat of like sort where the
soul may find rest.

The stormy PctreI's Endurance.

During recent trip across the At
lantic the passengers on one steamer
had vivid illustration Of the endur
ance of the stormy petrol. Shortly
after the ship left the Irish coasts two
or three of these birds were sighted al
the stern of the ship. One had been
caught at some previous time, and its
captor tied a bit of red flannel or rib,
bon round its neck and let it 60. The
bit of red made the bird very con-
spicious, and it could he easily indenti.
fled. That bird, with Others that
could not he so easily distinguished,
followed the ship clear across the
ocean. Rarely, during the day time
at least was it out of sight, and if for
an hour or two it was lost to view
while feeding on the refuse cast over
board, it soon reappeared, and the last
seen of it was within a few miles OF
Sandy Hook, when it disappeared,
perhaps to follow some outward-bound
steamer back to Ireland. When the
fact is considered that the ship, day
and night, went an average speed of
nearly twenty miles an hour, the feat
performed by the daring traveller can
be better appreciated. When or how
it rested is inexplicable.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

For the Boys.

I would have no dealings with to-
bacco in any form if were a boy
again. My friend Pipes tells me he is
such martyr to ciger boxes that his
life is a burden. The habit of smok-
ing has become such tyrant over
him that he carries tobocco bowsprit
at his damp, discolored lips at every
hour of the day, and he begs me to
warn all the boys of my acquaintance,
and to say to them emphatically,
"Dont learn to smoke!" He tells me,
sadly that his head is sometimes in
such dizzy whirl. and his brain 80

cannot break off: that he is compelled
to forego much that is pleasant In ex-
istence, and lives tobacco. tortured

are just learning to use the dirty un-
healthy Weeds. S. Evangelist.

Healthfulness of Fruit. Fruit need
not be considered a luxury while
apples are in the market; and they
possess nourishing and medicinal pro.
perties of no mean order. This is not
a new statement, but it is one that will
bear repeating. 1t has been said, with
a good deal of force, that truth has
to be proclaimed seven HUNDRED times
in the English parliament before the
least attention is paid to it. 1t is
known among editors, as it is among
advertisers, that similar rule prevails
with respect to what is published in
the newspapers. A raw, mellow
apple is ordinarily digested in an
hour and half, while boiled cab.
bage requires five hours and again on
authority, "apples if eaten with
breakfast, omitting meals for the time,
have an admirable effect OH the sys-
tenn, removing indigestion, correcting
the acidities of the stomach and cool

To Make Potatoes Mealy.-Mealy
potatoes are more nutritious than waXy
ones, because they contain more, starch.
A microscope shows a potatoe to be
almost entirely composed of cells,
which are sometimes filled and some
times contain clusters of beautiful
little oval grains. Now, these little
grains remain unchanged when cold
but when heated in warm water to
the degree that melts wax, they dis
solve in 1t, the whole becoming jelly.

starch i'm the cells it will not burst,
but if the number of grains or their
size be very great, the potato is broken
on all sides by the explosion Of the
jelly in the cells, and meal;ness is
produced. TO ensure mealy potatoes
peel them and put them in boiling
water; as soon as they are done drain
them, cover them closely and set
them near the fire for five minutes.

A WINGED PeOny.

An officer in the Navy of the Unit

An officer in the Navy Of the Unit
ed States is now undergoing season
of affiiction on account Of his unruly
tongue. When an important issue be-
tween this country and Great Britain
was pending, he, being in position to
know the merits of the case, declared
that England was in the right,
and said some things which em-
barrassed the administration. For
this offense he has been disciplined by
the authorities. The tongue has
brought many into trouble. Too
much talk often disturbs the peace of
the . church. A minister has been
known to injure his brethren, embar-
rass them in their work, and involve
them in difficulties with their congre-
cations by too free use of his tongue.
Some have embarrassed themselves by
talking too much. Many opinions
ought not to he expressed many
feelings should be smothered In the
bosom where they were born. Set

prayer to offer every morning.-NeW

if she had, after all, done nothing, al
though she has not spent an idle mo.

that your little helpless children have
had some one to come to with all their
childish gliefs and joys? Is it nothing
that your husband feels "safe," when
he is away at business, because your
careful hand directs everything at
home? Is it nothing, when his bust.

refuge of home, which you have that

HOW she Knew.

Nat and Kitty were looking for
shells: they had earned many bright
ten-cent piece by wading out beyond
the reefs for unbroken shells, which
the folks at the big hotel were glad to
buy. These ten-cent pieces were
growing into pile at the bottom OF
the pewter teapot, and they meant
good, warm winter clothes after the
hotel was shut up and the city folks
had gone home.
But to day they had found some
thing besides shells: a grey and white
bird with a long curved beak lay on
the sand, dead, with hole in its head.
Nat looked at the feathered body curl
ously, Kitty pitifully.

shiver; chow should / know?"
But Nat picked up the dead bird,
and carried bird and question to the
young lady at the hotel who had been
teaching little Sunday school on the
sands.
"How did she know there was any
more to him than to bird?'
NAT" said Miss Effie, suppose
you hal been shot. and were lying on
the sands, and this bird had passed
over you; would ithave stopped to pity
you?"

"Would it have wondered who shot
you, and whether you had gone to
heaven?"

"Well, then, little boy, you find
something in you that can love and
hate and be sorry and wonder and
ask questions, that the bird did not
have. That's the part of you that God

home dies"
Nat and Kitty buried the bird in the
sand but the lady's words lived on in

A Red.Haired Chinaman.

Chinatown boasts of a great rarity
in a fuil-blooded Chinese, who is
probably the only red-haired Cne or
The face of the earth. And what il
more, the Chinese has light conf
:, plexion and blue eyes, and he is cross
eyed.
Mish Go, as is the freaks name, was
born in China, of Chinese parents
about thirty years ago and came to San
Francisco about a year ago. He il
summed and disliked by the great ma
jority of his countrymen."
''Sheep-eye" is one of the nicknames
applied to him, because, from a Chin
ese standpoint, bis eyes resemble those
Of q sheep more than those of human
being. Mish Go lives in one of the
,dens of Spofford alley and is never
seen in close association with other
citizens of Chinatown, excepting when
he goes 10 certain stores to dispose o!
cheap trinkets, by which means he ac-
quies living.
The reason of the Chinese being held
in such disfavor was explained by
Wong Woh, fortune teller, who
daily occupies portion of the side
walk on Washington street above Du-
pent.
"Very many years ago." he said,
'there was another red headed China
man in China. He lived there so long
ago that no one now living had ever
seen him. Chew Fut was his name
and he was tall and fair of complex
ion. From some cause not pleasing
in the eyes of one of the numerous
gods, Chew Fut was known of all
over North China, where he lived and
grew to manhood.
lone day it was disclosed to few of
the faithful that this particular Chin
ese with the red hair must die. But it
was not explained by the deity why.
. 1t is not known to this day why the
order was disobeyed, for no steps were
taken to end the life Of Chew Fut, and
so fearful vengeance was wreaked
on the people. A terrible earthquake
occurred and the waters of the sea
overflowed the land, engulting thou
sands of inhabitants, who were
carried out to sea by the receeding
waters and drowned.
"The red-haired Chinese was lost at
the same time and, it is belived, was
transported direct to the Internal re-
gions, where he must always suffer
fearful torture."-Sap Francisco Ex,
aminer.
