Keith, of Falmouth No. took the
horses out for spin in the exercise wag-

In their own peculiar way.
Perhaps few facts and extracts collect
cd from the work will give better idea
of its value than any description of it
can.
William Steinway, himself of
German birth, discusses the
nationality of employees in
the piano industry in very liberal spirit
as follows: "In 1850 the overwhelming
majority of piano artisans were of Amer
loan nativity, while since that time, and
now for many years, almost all of them
are either foreign born (Inostly German),
or the direct foreign-born parents, who,
by permission of their employer are
taught certain single branch of the
business by their fathers This is much
to be deplored. for American boys, many
of them extraordinarily intelligent and
ingenious, are practically kept out of
this important industry" He attributes
this fact to the decadence of the appren-
tice system. This, he says, is ore of the
chief causes of the fact that in no civil
liked country ara there SO many young
men who are unskilled as in the United
States.
William G. Brewing, the olothier, COD
tributes this interesting bit of biography
through his article on the Clothing
Trade: 1.-THE inventor of the Winchester
firearms was one of the early manufac-
turers of shirts, and the circumstances
under which he found himself in the
business were curious. He was carpenter
in Baltimore, and had fitted up a rur-
nishing goods store there for a man who
had previously failed. Mr.. Winchester
took the stock as security for his bill,
and came to New York for advice as to
the expediency of conducting the bust
ness himself He went to New Haven in
the early forties to open shirt factory.
and began with one assistant to out out
shirts. 1t was not long before he was
turning out 2. 900 dozen week. But
Mr.. Winchester was a restless genius,
and with the outbreak of the war, he
turned his attention to firearms and be-
came interested in the manufacture of
the weapon that has since made his name
famous.n
Every American ought to glory in the
genius of his countrymen, as illustrated
in the matchmaking machine. With
high priced labor and high priced raw
material to handicap them, the Ameri-
can Match Manufacture is nevertheless
able to under-sell the foreign made
match in it's own home markets. owing

AS described by o. G. Barber, of the

composition for the heads. and paste
board boxes, it produces finished matches
automatically at the rate of s, 600 or 10, 600

in the pasteboard boxes, just so many
to box. The machine requires only
just enough manual help to feed the raw
materials and to take care of the finished
produce.

A New Treatment for sciatic..

A Paris physician claims to have dis
covered treatment for sciatica. The
statement taxes credulity somewhat,
but it is a very easy thing to test. The
following is n description of the proc
ess, which may be tried, and certainly
is simple enough: 1.-THE patient lies on
his face, with his legs extended and
resting easily one against the other.
The most painful spot is selected, the
region where the nerve proceeds from
the large sciatic opening. On its trunk
both thumbs are applied, and it is COM
pressed with the greatest force; at the
same time slight lateral movements
are made, without changing the point
of pressure or moderating it's intensity.
This takes from Is to 90 seconds, and is
followed by an interval of 20 minutes
rest, when the procedure is repeated.
After a second application, which is
much less painful than the first, the
patient is able to walk, and for several
hours, or even a day, he may be free
from pain" In order to obtain com
plete recovery, this procedure should
be practiced about six times a day
every two days, until the definite sup
preston of the neuralgia is obtained

Put them as you will, they will not
look right; but to the living animal
their big, strong, hooked claws are very
useful in tearing the bark on decayed
logs, or ripping open ant hills for the
insertion of that sticky, worm-like
tongue. / have often been told by
South American hunters that the ant
bear uses his long, bushy tail to sweep
up ants with, so that they can be de-
voured more eXpeditiously; but I fancy
that is only yarn"
Even when it is most plentiful, the
great ant-eater is a Iare animal. al.
though 1 have hunted it many days,
I never saw but two specimens alive,
one of which was n young one in cap
tivity at Ciudad Bolivar, on the Orinoco
and the other was a magnificent large
specimen in Forepaugh's menagerie.
Owing to their lack of teeth and the
peculiarities of their diet, they are diff
1icult to keep alive in captivity. North
of Panama this species is found only
in Guatemala and Costa Rica, and is
very rare in both of those countries
1t lives upon the ground, and it's worst
enemies are the jaguar and the puma

VERY QUEER ANIMAL.

nation in Every Way.

nation In Every Way.
With the exception of the iaguar, the
great ant-eater, the ant-bear, or crested
'ant-bear, whichever you choose to call
him, is the most snowy quadruped in
all South America; nor am | at all
sure he is not entitled to first place.
In height and bulk full-grown speci-
men is about as large as Newfound
land dog, and is really quite bear
shaped in body and legs. Its tail is
long and strong, and bears tremen-
dous brush of coarse, wiry, brown
black hair, which makes this organ
very noticeable. Its head is so small,
and its muzzle SO fearfully prolonged,
that it reminds one of the head and
,beail of an ibis. Its mouth is narrow
silt across the end of that curious muZ-
lzle, its tongue is like big angle-worm
ever! Its covering is rough coat of
long, coarse, brown hair, most strange
ly marked by black band underneath
the throat, which on the chest divides
into long, wedge-shaped stripe of
black that extends backward and up
ward across the shoulder.
To me it has always been puzzle
why this creature should possess such
luXuriant coat of hair i'll so hot a
climate. Another point still more open
to criticism is his clubbed fore feet
He walks on his claws, and the outer
edge of his fore feet, in n most awK-
ward and even painful way, for which
there seems to be no adequate excuse
unless his feet were formed that was
to vex the souls of wicked taXidermists

Row snowballs an Emperor.

The German emperor is very much
of an autocrat, but he has many kindly
as well as kingly traits. One day he
and the empress, while out sleigh
riding, came across three little boys
in the Thiergarten, who were so busy
snowballing as to overlook the imperial
couples approach. In consequence, ore
of the snowballs hit the monarch on the
nose. "Did it hurt you, Herr Kaiser?'
asked the little culprit, in an anxious
tone. "If so, you can hit me and call it
square" AT this the royal coupl.
laughed merrily, and, taking the boy S
address, the emperor next day sent him
a comical memento of the incident.

Importance of Gritty Material. ~,

Because a flock has the run of field
is no reason for supposing that a plenti-
full supply of gritty material is found
by the hens. a calculation will show
hat when the hens are searching daily
over every portion of the range that
only short time is required for them
to appropriate all the gritty material
that can be utilized. 1t is not every
kind of hard substance that will answer
the purpose. hound gravel is not suit
able. The hens should have sharp
cutting material, such as flint, broken
china and earthenware, or even glass.
Where they are confined it is still more
important that the matter of providing
grit should not be overlooked. Grit is
the teeth of fowls, and without it they
cannot masticate their food, and there
by prepare 1t for digestion.-Prairie

FOR COUNTRY'S SAKE.
An Indian Fighter Suffers Agonies
from Disease.
He Was In the Battle with the Apaches
When Gernnitno Was Captured.
From the Press, Ne,p York Ctty.

From The Press, Ne,p York City.
Worn with the exposure of army life on
the frontier, and poisoned by the continual
drinking of alltali water, Joseph Flegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
broken down in health and unable to do
any work.
He had served FIVE years with the Ninth
United States Infantry in many desperate
fight with the Indians in Arizona and other
frontier States and had won an enviable
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
imo, the famous chief of the Apaches, was
captured, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful of everything but
duty, charged upon the hostile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who werenever touched
by a redskins bullet or arrow, and Mr.. Fle-
gauf came near such fate as that. A long
time before his time was out he was taken
seriously i'll, but he stuck to his post until
an honorable discharge was finally given to
him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the Indian
| fighter was scarcely more than skin and
| bones and for three weeks hel lay desperate
| ly i'll in a hospital. He felt dizzy, and his
stomach felt as If it had dried up. These
| symptoms were accompanied by bloody
| dysentery, which no medicine seemed to re-
lieve.
After two years Of suffering, Mr.. Flegauf
came to New York and was treated by sew
eral physicians. These did not agree, some
| calling his disease catarrh of the stomach,
| and others chronic diarrhea.
| In speaking to a reporter about his illness
Mr.. Flegauf said the doctors helped him
but, with all the money he spent for advice
| and medicine, he was able to work only Q
small part of the time. Since moving tc
his present home, No. 517 West Forty-sec
| ond Street, in New York, about year ago
Mr.. Flegauf has been SO i'll that his voice
and hearing almost left him.
| Then all medicines failed, and the sicb
man had little hope of recovery. At this
critical time DIR. Williams Pink Pills fol
Pale People were recommended to Mr.. File
gauf, and, almost as last hope, he begar
taking them.
"The beneficial effect of the medicine wa.
felt at once," Mr.. Flegauf told the reporter

FARM AND GARDEN.
FIRM COUNTRY ROADS.
Easily Secured by the Use of the scrapcr
and Tile Drainage.

Easily Secured by the Use of the Scrapor
and Tile Drainage.
The progress made during the past
few years in the Improvement OF
streets and public roads has been as
surprising as in other lines of public
concern. BY the use of tile drainage
and that of machinery for grading, the
ordinary prairie roads are kept as
emooth and firm during the larger por-
ton of the year as the best macadam-
lied streets of the cities. Perhaps no
better implement has yet been made
than the steel scraper in the form OF
long blade carried at an angle sus-
pended to frame on wheels, cores
ponding to the running gears of a
wagon. This machine is owned usual
ly by township and is operated by
men and teams employed for that pur-
pose by the day. The force necessary
to operate it consists of two men and
from four to six horses.
The prompt operation of force like
| this answers as the ounce of preven-
tion and the pound of cure at the same
time. The work is rapid and cheaply
done and if applied two or three times
year, the frequent dressing up pre-
vents the wasting away of the road
bed and maintains at the same time
the smoothness of surface not obtain
able in any other way. Two or three
times around carries the movable sur
face toward the center of the road.
There are two or three methods in
Illinois in force by which the funds
for road making are expended. By a
vote at the town meeting an assess
ment is provided for and the tax is in
vested in road improvement by the
town commissioners.
Where no such vote is taken the work
is principally done by the poll tax which
enables people 10 work it out at their
leisure and about as they see fit. By this
plan the work is usually done in slip
shod manner. The roadmaster may be
competent but the work is not suffi
GENTLY under his control to enable
him to systemize and to use the labor
which is legally available for such ust
to the best advantage. BY the use o.
the same amount of ready money a.
may be represented in the poll tax
much better results may be obtained
than can possibly be expected from
that labor expended without any defin
lite object in view. 1t is surprising t,
see what good roads and well KEEP
lanes will do for country, in the ap
pearance and the real value they brin'
TO those who are willing to devot
some attention to the subject. In fac
the character of the public roads is a.
indication of the character of tn
farmers whose holdings are tributar
to them. The sides of the lanes shoul
be kept smooth enough for the mower
which should be used as often a
needed.-Farmers' Union.

STANDARD OF PURITY.
The Ratio of Water in Butter to Be Fixed
by Law in England.

by Law in England.
There has been in the analysis of but
ter in England considerable variation in
greater or lesser percentage of water.
An application has been made to the
authorities there to fix some standard so
that it could be uniform throughout the
whole kingdom. Some considerable
correspondence and discussion was had
with the local authorities by n commit
tee appointed by the butter dealers, and
the conclusion was that if the standard
of purity was not sufficiently defined, it
was the business of the association to
approach Somerset house with a re-
quest for a national standard, and il
that did not remedy the evil, to take it
to the house of congress. This proves
this fact: there is a variation in the the
amount of water in various buffers, and
that oftentimes with very high stand
ard of quality, dealers were liable to a
penalty when they were entirely inno-
cent of any intention of handling goods
that We're not up to the standard.
In this country the standard has not
been fixed by law, but custom has fixed
1t at from 12 to Is per cent. of water
in high-grade butter. Above IS per
cent. it would hardly be considered OF
high grade, and below 12 per cent
would be too dry for the ordinary re-
quirements of our best markets.-Elgin
