Owosso Postoffice Receipts.

The forthcoming report of the anditor for
the pOstoffice department will show an in
crease in the net receipts of the Owosso
Office for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1899. of $l,373, over those of the previous
year. the figures being respectively $9,577
and $S,204. This showing is still better
when 1t is understood that an additional
carrier was given employment for nine
months during the last fiscal year. The
total receipts for the year were $50, 1O3,
which was exceeded by but seven second
class Offices in the state.

PRICES.

One thing is certain. If q man cleans
your watch for fifty cents he never puts
a dollars worth of work on it. II he
charges you seventy-fivs cents for
new main spring he doesn't use q
dollar spring. He can't afford to. No
one can. In the present business
activity and business competition things
are worth pretty nearly what they cost.
Something for nothing is an exploded
theory on both sides. The reliable
matchmaker who charges you dollar
and half for certain piece of work
expects to give you value received. He
expects to apply his time, talent and
skill to your work until it is q first class
job. He tries in every way to please
you. I make my prices for repairing
as low as possible for first class work.
l only charge for what actually do.
l am in business to make money, of
course, but good work at reasonable
price will make me more money in the
end than poor work at any price.

A TRUSTY SKIPPER.
He Knew His Business and Was
Promptly Engaged.

Since, happily, not n single life WAS
lost when the. mighty Paris grounded
on the Mauacles. there can be no harm
in telling Il little story of n wise and
trusty sailing master we once met
aboard friends yacht. Our man,
not being satisfied to cruise about the
Solcnt, wished To take the boat right
round England and, as Il matter of
fact, he did navigate her safely rs far
as from Ryde pier to- yarmouth, Il job
that wants bit of doing. But he
funked taking her into IIolyhcad ION

find a pilot. or the lot that presented
themselves he gave the preference to
an elderly sea dog with 4 rolling eye
that spoke volumes for concealed
mine of humor within. Being bit of
commodore himself. however, oHr
host couldn't engage the professional
skipper without catCchiSing him.

Points to Consider When BuyinE-6
Momcmndc Potato sprRycr.
As spraying is hard and disagreeable
work at best, in order to do it AS eco
nomically and easily as possible the best
of apparatus will be found none too
coed. All working parts Of the pump
should be of brass of good quality to
insure wear and should be smoothly
fitted. There must also be some ade-
quate arrangement to keep the mixture
thoroughly agitated, and the ease with
which the working parts can be got at
for repairs and the facilities for oiling
should be considered.
The thorougbness and economy of ap-
plication depend very largely on the
nozzle used, and one should be chosen
particularly adapted to the work that
is to be done. To be thoroughly effect
i've nozzle should throw a fine mist
like spray, thus covering the plants
with thin film of the mixture with
ont using an excessive quantity, and
the nozzle must be so constructed as to
be easily and quickly disgorged and
taken apart for cleaning.
Fer close range work, such as spray
ing potatoes, the ''vermurel' is excel
lent, as it throws fine cone shaped
spray. Another good one is the "bor-
deaux," which will throw a fan shaped
spray from any degree of tineness to
tolid stream. Perhaps the cheapest and
most convonint outfit for general use is
a good spray pump. mounted on COM
mon oil or whisky barrel and placed on
strong two wheeled cart. This makes
an efficient outfit for orchard work,
and, by Il proper arrangement of nOz-
Zles to cover two or II ore rowS at once.
is equally good for spraying potatoes.
The Rhode Island station advances
the foregoing suggestions in Il timely
and very valuable bulletin on spraying
and also illustrates homemade potato
sUvaycr which, according to its owner,
has given excellent satisfaction. The
cart Is arranged from an old tcdder, the
seat heinS left on and floor laid on
which to place the casli and pump. A

Never forget that women are made
out OF girls and that men are made
out of boys; that If you are worth
less girl you are worthless woman,
and if you are worthless boy you will
be a worthless man, and the best edu-
Gated men and women once did not
know "a, B, g." that all the things
which you are learning had to be
learned by them; that the efforts
spent in making others happy will in
some way add to your own happiness;
that a life of usefulness and helpful
ness is worth many times more than a
life of pleasure.

Lesson in Evolution.

The following is going the rounds
of the newspapers hereabout: "a
little fellow remarked the other day
that there was too much system in
our schools and gave as his reason that
just because he snickered little, a
little chap he told the teacher, the
teacher turned him over TO the prin-
cipal and the principal turned him
over TO his pa and they both turned
him over their knees. He thinks the
system should be modified so that
there would not be SO many turning
overs. -
