OiIcIoth Instead of Wall Paper.

Table oilcloth may be applied to walls
and ceilings as readily as wall paper
by means of linOleum cement. Or oil
cloth may be hung as wall paper by
first sizing the walls with glue and then
adding little glue to the ordinary pa
per paste. In out ut-of-the-way places,
where a plasterer's services are not cas-
lily commanded, one may make dining
room, kitchen or other board sheathing
walls acceptable" to the eye by COW
erlng with table oilcloth in tile or other
pretty pattern, using tacks to put 1t
on, and covering the seams with mold
ing or planed laths, which can be
painted to harmonize agreeably. No
one can question the hygienic value Of
oilcloth over paper as wall covering
for kitchens, pantries, bathrooms, back
halls and stairways, etc.

SOMETHING NEW.
The Right Way of Looking at q
Common Matter.

History repeats itself, and it is the av-
erage business man who employs an av-
erage assistant 1t is the same old story
the employe is measured by the price
of his salary instead of his ability. Ifthe
average business man can secure cheap
help he imagines that that is economy
and that he is on the road to success, but
he soon discovers his mistake. Cheap
help drives away trade. If the employe
is first-class his services cannot be pur.
chased for song. The clerk who proves
himself proficient in any line seldom has
to seek employment but is sought after
by the best business men.
In the case of my assistant, Mr.. B. s.
Gaylord. was obliged to seek after and
it was with difficulty that secured his
services, and when the people at large
find out that he is the safest workman to
adjust their watches, then, and not till
then, will they realize that 1 have the
best matchmaker and adjuster in the
county. Mr. Gaylord has been employed
number of years in Detroit by one of
the largest and most reliable jewellers in
this state, and he comes to Owosso not as
an inexperienced matchmaker but as an
expert in his line of trade. He will care
fully examine your watch and show you
the intricate parts and not overlook some
imperfections, as many do, 80 that by
this mechanical examination there is left
no doubt in your mind after he has I'm
ished the work, that at hast your time-
piece has been perfected. You know
that your watch is not only ofsome value
to you as piece of metal, be it silver or
gold, but it is doubly valuable if you can
depend upon it as true timer. If it is
imperfect as timepiece it is of little val
ne, but if kept in repair it is then as good
as new if the right workman has perfect
ed it,
Mr.. Gaylord has one of the best equip-
ped set of tools in the state and thus is
never handicapped, but is ever ready to
do the finest work that can be produced,
and this at reasonable prices which work
is always guaranteed. Mr.. Gaylord new
er guesses at his work. He is genius,
and not one piece of the watch does he
overlook. Rather than patch he will
manufacture new part, and thus the
watch is brought back to its original per-
fection.

aaif
facts Concerning Copra.

Gopra, which is enc of the chief pro-
duets of the Philippine islands, is the
dried meat of the cocoanut. The in
dustry, while comparatively young,
presents some unique features, and the
production of it is the outgrowth Of
attempts made few years ago to find
some convenient method of exporting
the surplus quantity Of cocoanut oil
produced in the islands. The earthen
jars in which the oil arrived at Manila
we're too easily broken to be trans
ported with any degree of safety. The
only available alternative was a crude
form of barrel made in China for the
purpose, but these leaked so profusely
that they gave very poor results.
These difficulties led to a search for q
more convenient form in which to ex-
port the product. 1t was for the pur-
pose of supplying this need that NJ
Eduard Vidal taught the natives how
TO prepare the cocoanut in dry form
such as is known on the market as
copra, basing his process upon some ex-
periments which he, together with
some planters in the province CT
Misamis had carried on with consider
able success in the year 1882.
The method of preparing the copra
is q comparatively simple one. When
the nut is perfectly ripe It is cut into
halves and placed in the sun without
further preparation. In a few hours
the meat of the nut is contracted by
the effect of the heat and becomes de-
tached from the shell. The morsels
of nut kernel are then collected and
exposed to the sun for several days,
so that all the water which they con-
tain may be evaporated, care being ex-
ercised to guard against moisture and
dew, which would soften the material.
When the substance becomes brittle,
it is considered ready for the market
In ordinary times it is claimed that
a thousand eocoanuts will give, in the
province of Visayas. about 600 TO 700
pounds Of copra, but actual expert
ence hardly bears out these claims,
the average being from 420 to 400
pounds per 1000 cocoanuts. The copra
industry during its comparatively
short history OF fourteen years in the
Philippines has attained considerable
dimensions.
