HO|T ATUZ1lII Was SOLVED.

When YOU want q ccrinin article, you want
The best make OF that article. don't y,i?
But how to determine which make best
$ what puzzles You isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved fcr yon
by authority which cannot be ques! oned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like t. hear Of one ruz
lie that has been solved for the pc pie of
The whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, We will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris. France, the best sewing machines Of
the world including those If America were
in competition. They were passed upon hy9
jury composed of the best foreign nechar
icai experts, two of whom were the lradn
sewing machine manufacturers OF France
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines Were the best of all, and
| awarded that company the highest prize Of
fere'l, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
| medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition Of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the com
pany, with the Cross of the Legion OF
Honor. the most priced honor of France
That is how the puzzle Of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor of the No. and NJ. IL Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No 0. for family use, and the No. 12,
for manufacturing uses are the best in the
world to-day.
And now. when you want sewing ma
chine, it you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. Wheeler & Wilson machine. and if he
does not keep them. write 10 us for descrip-
tive catalogue. prices and terms.

LAMP EXPLOSIONS.
There Is Little Danger If People Will
Only Keep Cool.
New York Tribune.


Even the explosive quality OF the modern
oil lamp is now subject of doubt. An Eng
lish exDerimenter says that he has tried in
every way known to him to make kerosene
lamp explode and has not succeeded In doing
80. His theory is that the various so-called
explosions have merely been the igniting OF
spilled oil caused by the upsetting or break
ing Of lamps. He moreover goes on to assert
that the best quality of oil is slow to ignite,
and If smothered at once with a piece of
carpet or some wooden garment the fame is
easily put out The chief thing necessary
in such case is presence of mind. If the
lamp upsets il must be picked up at once
and set right, SO it shall not have time to
ignite the spilled oil. A metal lamp which
cannot be broken Is much less liable to
danger than glass or porcelain lamp, I'M
less such lamp has a metal font. If
people remain cool-headed, neither open
door to create a draught, as they usually
do, nor rush out of the room to leave the
lamp to work its destruction, there is
very little danger from a metal lamp. But
it requires presence of mind and GOODNESS
OF judgment to pick 1t up instantly and
smoother the flames on the carpet or rug
1t is Just he same courage that is needed
in many events in everyday household life.
Half the tragedies in the world are caused
by panicky people who lose their presence
of mind al the very time they need 1t most.
II oil gnites on the kitchen floor pan of
common -four or box OF sand or common
earth will smother 1t as quickly as anything
else

Indecorous Quaker City Cats.
Philadelphia Record.

The trolley line along cambridge and
Catharine streets is responsible for new
race Of cats. which Is being reared in the
Deighborhood through which the electric
line passes. They are large, fat, and frisky,
and can only be compared to other cats as
full-grown Newfoundland dog can be COM
pared to a waddling pug.
This great physical vig0r and wonderful
development is due to COURSE of electrical
treatment to which they subject themselves.
Every night when the travel along those
streets has subsidized, the cats can be seer
coming out for their treatment. There is
Just enough electricity in the rail to answer
their purpose, and first they lick the rail
fondiy.
Then they roll on the rail and wallow in
the electrical fluid and act in every way as
il they were under the influence of a ca;nip
dissipation. After a few minutes of this
they get up and dance around ike puppets
on a string These exhibitions are of
nightly occurrence, and the windows Of the
thoroughfares are crowded with eager spec
tatOrs,

It in larger quantities, put into a vessel
holding fifteen gallons of water a
half-peck Of scot, and stir twice a day
for a week. Probably the better Way Is to
tie the SCOT securely in coarse bag, which
is large enough to let the scot swell and
move about inside it. Throw the bag
into the water and allow it to soak,
moving it about occasionally, or press
ing 1t with stick to extract the
strength. AS the water is used ont fresh
can be added as long as any SCOT remains.
Give the plants light doses of the tea once
OF twice week. Dilute If too strong, be-
cause il used in too thick state it will
make the surface soil too hard and dry.
SCOT mixed with twice its bulk of dry
earth may be used for top dressing in the
garden with good results.

NOT SO VERY BAD.
The Toy-Vender's Bark Was Several
Degrees Worse Than His Bite.


Late yesterday afternoon rough-looking
man with singularly hoarae and unpleas-
ant voice was crying some of those interest
ing mechanical toys in Fourteenth street.
He had big, green frog that jumped about
in a delightful way; asman, woman. child AMI
dog combination that ierked over the flag
ging in stately way; and horse, circus
ring and ringmaster to set nursery in a
frenzy. He shouted these toys and, by way
of variety, denounced the troop OF ragged
children that gathered about him.
Get a move on ye," said he. "Ye don't
buy nothn'. There amt the price of a
stick of candy in the hull of yez Clear
out" All this in no pleasant tone, and so
effectively that the particular. crowd of
ragged infancy was continually changing
its identity. But there was one little girl
who did not go. She was Pretty miserable
looking specimen for such q cold day. She
had holes in her stockings. and such thin,
dirty wrap that she might almost as well
have had none at all. She stood quite close
to the man, with her eyes large and wistful
and with a finger in her mouth.
The fakr directed his volley OF scarcasms
at her particularly several times, but she
did not seem to hear or see. She had eyes
only for the man and woman and child and
dog combination. When the fakir wearied
of attending to her directly he discharged
upon the crowd at large. When IL would
disperse he returned, each time with what
seemed to be growing irritation, to the little
girl.
But she remained rooted to the spot with
her finger in her mouth and a few tears roll
ing from her eyes down through the stains
OF dirt on her cheeks. 'Be of wild YER"
said the fakir. $50 home to your ma. Wot
We dom a day like this with bare legs
Clear out"
She paid no attention to him, but looked
steadily and sadly at the toy. At last the
fakir picked it up from the sidewalk and
showed it into her arms.
"Glt out. will YER" said he in terrible
voice. Take yerself away. Yell ruin me
trade" and he fell to winding up another
toy and setting it in motion.
The child had fed at full speed as soon as
she realized that she had the toy. And the
fakir went on bawling and threatening as
th ough gentleness were something OF which
he knew nothing.

NO sac BAD EYTHER.
A Sample of Scotch Conversation
Heard in the Highland District.

Scottish Canadian.
On one occasion, travelling by stage coach
through the Highland district of Scotland.

virtually TO the following:

This Is a Scotch Joke.

A farmers wife, not a hundred milss
from Dingwell. has great deal OF trouble
with her servants. The other day one of
them came to her to say:
MADAM, l fear l shall not be able to
work much longer. l think 1 am going
blind"
why, how is thatp You seem to get
along pretty well with your work."
Yes. but no longer see any meat on my
plate at dinner"
The farmers wife understood, and the
next day the servants were served with
very large and very thin pieces of meat
How nicer the girl exclaimed; my
sight has come back. / can see better than
ever"
How is that, Bella?"
why, at this moment" replied Bella.
L can see the plate thr0u Oh the meat"
