Ball Bearings on the Farm.

1t is probably a 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:
lN, but popular demand will yet force all

AS a covering for walls and ceilings,
there Is nothing equal to Alabastine,
the celebrated product of the Alabas-
tine Company Of Grand Rapids, Mich.
1t is eminently healthful and ono
ical. Being porous, it permits ventila-
ton, In which 1t is superior to wall pa
pers, which, besides, are often tainted
with poison. This makes Alabastine
unequal for use in sleeping rooms. Too
much thought cannot be given to the
condition Of the apartments in which
we sleep, and they should be freed as
much as possible from the germs Of
disease and death. BY coating the
walls and ceilings Of these rooms with
the pure Alabastine, this danger is OBJ
Waited. There is nothing more pure
and cleanly than this wall coating, the
base Of which is a natural rock product
that sets on the wall and hardens with
age. Alabastine does not rub or scale
of and requires no scraping before re-
tinting. There is absolutely no com.
parison between the beautiful and dur
able Alabastine and the dirty kal.
somines and other disease-engendering
appliances Of which the world is now
weary. 1t Is the only preparation
which can be properly applied by the
householder himself. 1t is only neces.
sary to mix it with cold water. 1t is
then ready for use, and a child can
brush it on.
Alabastine is for sale by paint deal
ers, who, when requested, will give
inquirers a card of tints, running from
white TO twelve other beautiful colors.
Or this may be had, with a free copy OF
their paper, "The Alabastine Era" by
writing to the company. Purchasers
should refuse any offers of something
just as good" as Alabastine. BY insist
ing on having Alabastine in packages
and properly labeled, they will get sat
isfactory results and beautiful walls.

Keeping Flies or Chande,iers.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: Ev-
sry housekeeper will be glad to know
how she may keep flies off her chan
deliers Wipe them with a soft cloth
that has been wet in kerosene oil. This
should be done several times during
the summer. Simple, isn't it? Fly
specks a be wiped off in the same
manner, ever when on gilt picture
frames; but the cloth must be only
slightly moistened in the latter case,
and used lightly, else the gilt itself
may come off.

Things should be left to take their own
course, and as Max Beauregard was a par.
ticularly attractive man, instead Of being,
like Lawford, a cumbersome addition to
his world advantages, the desired match
might come about without any ostensible
wire-pulling.
Nor did Mrs. Langley ask ifLawford had
written; and when Valerie briefly told her
that he had, and that the letter was de-
stroyed, the eluer lady expressed no an
noyance. She had no wish to force forward
the subject she had at heart, and she was
infinitely relieved at escaping an interview
with Lawford: for, to do a d~ishonorable act
Is one thing; to be convicted of it, face to
face, another.

Germany's cruel oppression of the in

a spirit of sorrow and anger all over Den

Their cousins the Swedes, would be less,
than human dio they not feel the protest
they dare not officially make to the pow

ening Sweden on one side and Germany
making trouble on the Danish border the
brother people of Scandinavia have cause
to ponder little on what the future has

to call a halt in the chickering's between
Sweden aud Norway IN the presence of

for mutual protection and defense.
The three countries together would not
be strong enough to cousidrr an offensive

many, but in case of an invasion could
make very respectable resistance if the
national spirit was fully developed and
true patriotism and fraternity ruled IN the
hearts Of all.
Eeither in Scbleswlg or Finland has
there been any riots, insurrectious or any
to the hard laws; any
seditious or iucendiary speeches or demon
STATIONS. The people have simply clung
to the language that was their forefathers'
and which they learned at their mothers
knees. They have lived in peace and
prosperity, labored faithfully and their
rewards are exile, oppression and tyranny.
