had just heard precocious story, "who
is very sagacious. One Sunday he fol-
lowed me to church and sat among the
people and watched my movements in

THAT afternoon I heard terrible
bowling in my back yard, and of course
went to see what it meant. found my
dog was in woodshed, standing ON his
hind legs in dry goods box. He held
down torn almanac with one paw and
gesticulated with the other, while he
swayed his head and howled to an audi

Iron Used.


All the Tools Made by Hand and Native
Iron Used.
Frank G. Carpenter, writing about
the peculiarities of Korea, saws among
other things:
Zone Of our ponies had to be shod,
and another time we put shoes on the
bull which carried the baggage. The
pony was first thrown to the ground, and
his four legs were tied together so that
he couldn't possibly kick.
Then the blacksmith pounded hoop
iron shoes on his feet with rude iron
hammer. 1t was the same with the bull,
though one man had to sit ON his head
while he was being shod. The iron
seemed to be very good, and it comes
from the mines in the northern part Of
the country. The tools of the country
are made Of it, and the farming tools
are very ingenious, the three and four
pronged hoes being quite as good as
anything we have in America. They
We're making tools in this blacksmith's
shop. and all the tools and plows are
made by hand.
1.-The blacksmith had o rude bellows,
which was worked by q boy who stood
ON seesaw and by moving up and
down pumped the fire into blaze. In
other places I saw bellows which bows
worked by pulling stick in and out
like that of squirtgun, and everything
is rude in the extreme.
sometimes horses are shod by being
strapped up to poles, SO that only two
OF their feet can rest on the ground,
and the band which goes around the
belly holds the horse up while he is
shod. ''-Roxbury Gazette.

THE new YORK TIMES,

THE TINES is newspaper for in
telligent men and women who want
to read the news of the world every
day. The paper has distinguished
merits OF its own. 1t is neither sem
sational nor dull. 1t is not sour
tempered. 1t is not frivolous or WIS.,
ionary. 1t sees plenty of good in the
world and tells about it. 1t tells of
the bad when it must, but not un-
wholesomely. Itprints with fullness
the record Of human endeavor in
many fields outside OF business, poll
tics and warm literature. religion.
science. art. sports and household
matters. No paper in the country
prints so many book reviews and SO
much book news. No paper has SO
complete financial page-a daily
manual for investors and officers of
financial institutions. Its market
reports-wool. cotton, breadstuffs,
farm products. &c.-are the best in
the country.
The Democracy OF THE TIMES is
OF the old-fashioned sort-as old as
Thomas Jefferson; majority rule, no
bossism, no machine tyranny, the
divorce Of politics from private
money-making, q sound currency,
industrial emancipation. and every
day honesty. To promote the ad.
vance Of the Democratic Party along
these lines it labors with heart and
conscience and all its might.

A JUST CRITICISM.

The Springfield Republican makes a
lust criticism of Mr.. Carlisle's report
when it says that just one year ago he
urged the need of an elastic and we'll
distributed bank currency, and now he
suddenly turns about and says the
present bank system is so old and has
served so useful purpose that to
amend it would provoke injudicious
agitation, and recommends course
that will extend and perpetuate a sys-
TEN admittedly lacking in every essen
tial feature of an adequate bank-note
system save the one feature of safety
which belongs in the same degree to
the Governments notes, because the
notes are based on Government rather
than bank credit.
1t ought to be said, however, that
the friends of Mr.. Carlisle say that he
has not changed his convictions, but
refrained from pressing his plan upon
a Republican Congress known to be
hostile to his propositions. 1t would
have been better, in our judgment, to
have reiterated his strong arguments
in favor of an elastic currency, even If
it would have been in the nature of
casting pearl before swine.
