A Remarkable Machine.

Our enterprising harness makers
Messrs E. Rudolph & Co. have recently
purchased a Lands hard wax, lock
stitch, harness machine costing $4,000.
After ten years of practical experiment.
ing by the enventor, this machine was
first placed on the market about seven
years ago and therefore is no ex-
pertinent. 1t has been improved from
year to year since that time until it has
reached such state of perfection that it
does better work than it is possible to
do by hand.
AS compared with hand work the ma
chine uses smaller awl, larger and
stronger thread, twice as much hard
wax which is melted and pumped into
the stitches making them water proof,
more stitches to the inch and every
stitch pulled in tighter than is possible
by hand. 3
A man sewing by hand pulls the
thread through hole after hole in the
leather thus weakening the thread
with each stitch taken before it finds its
place in the completed work, whereas
the machine uses new piece of thread
for each and every stitch.
Buyers of harness on first thought
consider all machine made harness as
being factory harness, but this is not
right, as there is vast difference be-
tween factory made harness and harness
made on q Lands machine in their
shop, because they will use better stock
and will exercise greater care in select
ing the best part of the leather fol
parts of the harness subjected to the
greatest strain; he will also use better
thread and give closer attention than
the factory to the details which go to
make first class harness.

Prisoner among the Filipinos." The
author describes in detail the means by
which he dissuaded Filipino general
from executing the entire party, the
way in which the illness of Tagal
officer prevented the slaughter of his
prisoners, how Filipino lieutenant on
seeing crucifix disobeyed orders and
thereby enabled them to escape being
put to death, and how the band was at
last rescued by American troops from
bloodthirsty armed savages. The mar
rative reads like page from Robinson
