THE INDLIN'S MISTAKE.

London were much interested in the
sights to be seen in the London streets
Day after dag they would walk up
and down the most crowded streets
and gaze on the people and into the
shop windows like a pair of children
at the circus. One day they stopped
before the shop window of Il wig-mak-
er and stared at the many varieties of
wigs on exhibition there until their
eyes nearly fell out. Finally one of
them nudged the other, and with a
shake of his head remarked, "Uh!

IMPROVEMENTS IN THREsH1Na.
The Cyclone Stacker, Self Feeder
and Automatic Saclxing Device.

The new threshing machines which have
come into the field the year 1894 show
more Improvement than the last ten years
put together. Among them the cyclone
stacker. This is not the first year it has
been in use, but the first that | have had
an opportunity of testing it. says writer
in the New York Tribune It is an i'm
provement greatly appreciated, as it re-
duces the working force by at least four
hands, aud relieves the men from the most
disagreeable part of the work Ever since
the threshing season opened this year the
mercury has ranged from SS to 90 degrees
To work in cloud of dust on straw
stack, sinking into the loose straw nearly
10 the hips every step, is torment that re-
minds one Of purgatory but the cyclone
thresher stacks the straw without a man
On the stack

front part Of the separator makes blast
which takes straw and ehaff, and blows il

cyclone stacker attachment, aud BY little
arrangement of the bottom of the stack we
have as well lshaped stack as | ever had

Another Improvement Is what is called
the >elf-feeder and in connection with it
the cylinders are arranged to cut the bands.
With these machines the work Of three
men IS dispensed with; for, with machines

also weighing arrangements by which the

A Private PARK.

DIR W Seward Webb, President Of the
Wagner Palace Car Company, sent party
of his friends to the Adirondaeks last week.
10 spend day or two in the North Woods.
Dr Webb has the largest private park in
the United States, if not in the world.
Few have any idea of is extent, and OF
It's wealth Of came and fish. and its beauty
Of lake and forest scenery All told, DIR.
Webb owns about POO. 000 acres of wild
land in the Adirondack region. of which
he has enclosed about 100, 0G0 acres with
q wire fence making what IS known as
Nehasane Park. At Nehasane is Dr..
Webb forest home. Ii would scarcely
be called mansion. aud vet it has the
dimensions Of hotel being 200 feet long
BY so wide, and is surrounded BY spa
eious veranda. Here DIR. Webb is liter
ally monarch Of All he surveys. His prop
erty extends about s miles ON each side
Of the New York Central Adirondack
Division. Here deer and al game known
to the North Woods abound in plenty, and
Dr Webb has recently introduced num-
Der of elk from the far West This is not
the Doctor only country place He
makes his regular home at Shelboume
VT. on the shores Of Lake Champlain.
where he has an estate Of about 1000 acres.
He has another house in the CITY, but he
divides most of his time between his Yer
mont and Adirondack homes. DIR. Webb.
while enclosing his park with wire fence
and taking every preeaution against the
wholesale slaughter Of the game, is exceed
inely generous in extending privileges To
sportsmeu, and he is continually sending
to Nehasane parties of friends. very few Of
whom have the wealth to own private
park Of such dimensions but all of whom
are fortunate in enjoying his favor, Dr.
Webb belongs to notable family. His
father. james Watson Webb, was the
famous editor Of The old Courier All of
the sons have attained distinction in one
way or another. II. Walter Webb, as

Paper Horseshoes

Railroad ear-wheels are now qnite often
constructed Of paper Il would be hard
l., make an announcement Of a new use Of
that material which should cause any lively
surprise Aud vet the introduction Of
hor,e-hoes made Of paper in the cavalry
service of the German Army seems extra
ordinary enough 10 excite interest
Several cavalry horses were first shod
with paper horseShoes and the effect was
observed II was found that not only did
the lightness and elasticity of the shoe help
the horse on the march, making it posi-
bic for him to travel faster aud further
without fatigue than horses shed with iron
but that the paper shoe had the property
Of being unaffected by water and other
liquids
1t Is now proposed to replace iron with
paper horseshoes in the entire German
Army.
The new shoes are made Of great mum
bcr of thin sheets of paper pressed closely
together, one above another, and rendered
impermeable to water BY the application Of
oil Of turpentine The sheets are glued
together BY sort Of paste composed of
turpentine, whiting. gum and linseed oil,
and then submitted to a powerful hydrau-
lie pressure
Paper horseshoes are also made by
grinding up the paper into mass. com
binins il with turpentine sand, gum, lith-
arge and certain other substances, pressing
it and afterward drying it, But these
shoes are less tough and elastic than those
which are made of thin sheets of paper
laid one upon another.
The paper shoes are fastened to the
horse feet either by means of nails. as in
the case of the ordinary shoe, or with a
kind of glue composed Of coal-tar and
caOutchouc
The German cavalry horses are reported
very happy and lively in their new shoes
