One of the most necessary and yet one
OF the most abused OF all implements Is
the iawn-niower. To sharpen the knives is
not q difficult matter. To do II, remove
the wheels and slip the cog-wheeI off the
end OF the shaft. A little clutch will be
found In slot In the shaft at each end.
simply reverse ths positions Of cog-wheeis
and clutches from one cpd Of the shaft
TO the other. so that the reel can be
run backward Then replace the outer
wheels. and fssten them In place with
either the nuts or cotters- With the OIL
can run little oil along the edge of the
lower knife. Upon this oil sprinkle medium
coarse smery-powder. Now turn the ma
chiDce upside down and push IL along the
lawn rapidly. the reel turning backward
causing the emery to grind all the knives.
The wheels may then be taken of, and the
cogs and clutches reversed. the emery care
fully wiped OFF. the knives adjusted. the
machine oiled. and Il Will be ready for use.

THE OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
The Correspondence With the Euro
pean Powers Sent to Congress-.

Washington, March 27.-Secretary
Hay today submitted to congress the
correspondence had with the govern
ments of Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Russia, Italy and Japan re-
speeding the maintenance of an open
door" in China. The correspondence
extended from September 9Th last to
Goth instant, the last date marking the
successful completion of the undertake
ing.
On September 9Th the state depart
ment addressed to our ambassadors
at London, Berlin and st. Petersburg,
copies of a formal declaration, set
ting out the desire of our government
in the matter of the "open door,"
Italy and Japan were similarly adj
dressed about a month later.
The formal declarations" sent to
the ambassadors were similar, yet
each of the officers adopted a different
.phraseology in addressing themselves
to the governments to which they are
accredited.
The last act in the negotiations,
that which clinched the agreement,
was the dispatch to our diplomatic
representatives at the capitals of the
several countries concerned, of identi-
cal instructions, dated at the depart
goth. These directed hat the respec-
tive governments be informed that all
the powers having accepted the United
states proposals, his government
will therefore consider the assent Civ
en- it by each government as final n
definite, and the qualification of the
president is expressed.
