No Decentralization.

Maj. Whipple, of the Second Massa-
chusetts Regiment, had been a soldier
and an officer in the civil war, and in
the meantime had seen much service
IN the Massachusetts militia. When
the Spanish war broke out, he wished
to go to the front with his regiment.
But all the officers, as well as men,
had to undergo physical examination
at Worcester. Maj. Whipplewas man
of great bodily strength and perfect
health and activity, but the lapse of
time had left him a little deficient in
the matter Of teeth. An examining sur
geon proposed to exclude him on that
account.
Then the major, who could not stand
being shut out from the chance to serve
his country in such an emergency,
waxed wroth.
Look here" he exclaimed, I'm go
ing down there to shoot Spaniards! /
don't propose to eat them"
We do not know what answer, by
word of mouth, the surgeon made to
this protest, but the fact is that the
major went to the war and distin.
guished himself in It, even eating his
share of bareback with the rest, and
escaping all the illnesses that fell to the
lot of younger men.-Youth's Com.
panion.

Ball Bearings on the Farm.

1t is probably safe prediction that all
manufacturers of harvesting machinery
will eventually adopt ball bearings wher-
ever it is possible to use them. In 1891
the Deering Harvester Company Of Chi
cago equipped all their machines with
ball and roller bearings, and the great
popularity Of the idea led other manufac-
turers to experiment with several styles
of roller bearings, hoping to apply them
to their machines without appearing to
initiate the originators too closely. The
application of ball bearings is more cost
ly, but popular demand will yet force all
competitors to follow the lead Of the
Deering Company.
