To the Mothers.

The prevailing sentiment, Oh public
opinion, in regard to any matter deter
mines in a very large measure what
action will be taken concerning the
question. This general truth applies
with mush force to our public schools.
When we consider what the good school
does, and the poor school fail to do for
our children, how can We remain silent?
What other cause, except our church,
affords us SO great an opportunity to be
useful to our kind? May not some who
are now indifferent or luke warm be in
duced to become Jealous workers in so
good a cause, If you hold meetings TO
consider what may be done to improve
your schools? When within a reason
able distance from DEBORAH il would
give me mush pleasure to be allowed to
meet with you.

DEBORAH, Iowa.

Old shoes are not lost by any means.
In this country they are dissected and
subjected to a course OF manipulations
by which they are converted into a
kind of artificial leather, which is
made to look very fine, and may be
elegantly ornamerted. In France
they go through less elaborate trans
formation. At the military prison in
Montpelier the shoes, the majority Of
which come from Spain, are ripped
apart and The nails are drawn out.
The parts are softened in water, and
are then cut up by machine into
vamps for children's or little girls
shoes. The soles are likewise utilized.
The smallest pieceH are used to make
the Louis XIV. Goes which we're in
fashion few years ago. Pieces lit
tie larger and thinner are made into
the soles OF babies shoes. The nails
of iron are. separated by means Of a
magnet from copper nails, and the
latter are sold for a higher price than
the others. The manager OF the prison
represents that the returns from this
manufacture nearly equal the cost of
the old shoes.

Ostrich Hunting.

An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport; or rather the sale of booty is
so great as to attract hunters. The
Arabs give themselves to it with a real
passion. Mounted on their fine little
horses they try as much as possible to
fatigue the ostrich, for as it is eight
feet high and has very strong legs it
possesses quickness of movement
which the best horse cannot attain.
1t has great endurance. Overtaken by
the hunter, it seeks to defend itself
with its feet and wings, but more Of
ten it still strives to escape by fight,
uttering a plaintive cry. In fact, the
ostrich is deprived of the power of
flight by reason of its great size. The
muscular force with which nature has
endowed it is not equal to lifting such
a weight. 1t peculiar organization
has made it the courier of the desert,
where it is able to quickly traverse
the almost limitless expanse. The
Arab knows very well that it is the
habit of the ostrich to make great de.
tours about its nest in a circle. He
chases it then without ceasing until it
is almost there, when, worn out, it
succumbs, concealing its head in the
sand in order not to see its enemy. or
insti1ctively hoping TO escape dan
ger which it cannot see any more.
This chase requires eight or ten
hours, but it offers large rewards.
The plumes are worth a considerable
sum, the skin makes good leather and
the Arabs are very fond of the flesh.
Besides, in spite OF the fact that it re-
produces its species rapidly, the os-
trich is all the time becoming rarer,
and it is hunted for export and do

a shoe, bell and q little harmonica.

By means OF novel application OF
the phonograph, this city has become
the centre of a new industry for the
study of languages. Photographs
loaded with variety of foreign
tongues are now sent out from New
York to all parts of the country. The
man who has adapted the phonograph
to this profession is r. d. Cortina,
and he has been SO successful that
already he has sent out over 500
machines, all loaded with his instruc.
tion and primed with his voice.
His method is simple. With each
photograph there is sent his text book,
twenty loaded cylinders and twenty
blank les. Each lesson in the book
is arranged in the form of questions
and answers. The pupil, ready to be-
gin, puts the cylinder of the first
lesson in the machine, the tubes in his
ears and starts the photograph.
Keeping his eyes on the book, he
hears the words and phases repeated,
with their proper accent, just as if the
professor stood at his side. There is
an additional advantage that the lesson
can be repeated twenty or hundred
times if necessary, until every sound
is familiar to the pupil.
Then, having thoroughly learned
these sentences, he puts one of the un-
used cylinders in the machine and re-
peats the lesson. In little paper box
the cylinder comes back to New York,
and at his earliest opportunity Mr..
Cortina pops it into his own machine.
At his side is the stenographer. AS
he listens to the lesson repeated back,
now stopping the phonograph, now
starting it going again, he dictates his
criticism, where the pronunciation il
wrong, what 10 right, what the mis-
takes are and where they have been
made. The letter and the cylinder &c
back to the pupil, who reads and lis
tens to his own voice reproduced
Then, taking up the original cylinder
once more, he is able to tell Just where
the difference lies.-New York Jour

DEEP FLOWING.

A friend asks if it is any benefit to
plow rundown land deeply that has
only been skinned over before. Well,
l cannot answer positively in your
case. We have been bringing up a
farm that was run down and never had
been plowed deeply, and we know that
a gradual deepening OF the soil, by
plowine little deeper each time we
break up a sod, has been OF great
benefit to us. 1 believe that gener-
ally this will be true. We expose more
soil to the action of frost and air and
sun. We get more loosened up so we
can pulverize it and stir it around.
Thus we liberate more plant food, or
make it available for our crops. But
now, there are exceptions to this rule.
So test the matter carefully for your
self. Increase depth of plowing very
gradually. The probabilities are that
you will see results that will cause
you to keep on. Your soil and subsoil
has considerable of clay in it, as has
nearly all of ours. On light, sandy
land it would be different, of course.
1t will help "level land to tile
drain it, where water has to evaporate
from the surface, where there is not
natural underdrainage, SO it can
readily soak down, and the same of
rolling land, loo. ''Why were you so
afraid of rain after sowing your wheat?
/ should think it needed rain to start
the seed. Is it best to make soil SO
fine?" 1t certainly is best for the
young plants to make fine, firm seed
bed. 1t cannot be made too fine and
firm for the good OF the wheat. The
plants cannot start and grow as well
in roughly prepared ground. The
little roots cannot get food as well.
was not afraid of rain, but of heavy
rain that would pack and run together
this dustlike soil, and wash much
down the hillside on our rolling land.
| have had every bit of wheat, along
with the soil, taken right out of the
drill rows on a hillside by heavy
rain after drilling. There would not
be so much risk on roughly prepared
land. But that is not as good for the
wheat. So we make it fine and take
the risk. Now don't you see?-T.
