Profitable OccupatiOn.

This article is for the boys; those
live, up-to-date lads that like the
farm and it's stock. The boy that it
is about lives in Portage county, and
! know that you will be interested
in hearing about him. Last fall the
writer attended the Chagrin Falls
fair, and on the road from that fair
we passed boy driving pair of
calves hitched to a wagon. He was
sitting on the spring seat, whip in
hand, as dignified as any grown man.
The calves were well broken, and
they responded perfectly to a word
and light tap of the whip which
he carried in his hand. We noticed
that he never beat them or yelled at
them, as some grown persons do
when they drive oxen.
We thought: "Now, here is Q nice
picture" so it was arranged that
Harry Stebbins (for this is the boys
name) should bring his calves and
wagon over to Mr.. John Gould's the
next day and have their photograph
taken. The next forenoon Harry was
on hand with his outfit, and Mr.
Gould borrowed neighbor's children
to help fill the wagon, for that is
the only way John has any children
of his own. The sun was just right

tect a Counterfeit Bill at
First Glance.

Talking about counterfeiters puts
me in mind of one, notorious ras-
cal, who was caught not long ago in
this city while at his nefarious trade, V
said an ex-treasury official recently,
according to the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser. "The paper money
this man produced was absolutely
perfect in every detail but one, and
it seems strange that man of his
knowledge and experience of the
art of counterfeiting should have
overlooked it." Here the speaker
took a one-dollar note from his
pocket. II was new and crisp, and
he pointed out diminutive letter
&C" on the right under the bills
number and another down in the
other corner.
"Now," the ex-official continued, 81
don't suppose there are 90 men out
of a hundred, outside the treasury
department. know what these seem.
ingly unnecessary letters are on the
United States bills. And even if they
had noticed them am willing to bet
that not one of them could tell what
they signify"
The ex-treasury man handed the
reporter a United States note and
requested that the reporter read tt
him the last four figures of its mum
Der, which were 5321. Then the ex
official said, almost instantly: AIT
letter on that bill is B." When th'

was found on it in two places. Hal
dozen other bills were produced
and when the treasury man was toll
the last four figures of their mum
bers. he was able to tell, with light
ning-like rapidity, what letter woult
be found on each bill. In each cas-
the letter was either A, B, C or D.
"The explanation is simple" salt
the ex-official. "If you take the las
four figures of the number on an,
bill. no matter what its denomination
and divide them by four, you will
of course, have either a remainde
of zero, 1, or 3. If the remainde
is zero. the letter on the bill will b
A. If it is 1, the letter will be B:
IL is 2, the letter will be 4 and if
is 3. the letter will be ID.

against counterfeiters. You can te

skin. flesh side up. when taken off.
Sprinkle pulverized alum over it, fol-
lowed by little saltpeter and plenty
of common salt. Roll up and put where
it will not freeze. Two ounces each of
alum and salt will tan sheep or other
similar sized skin. When the skin is
tanned the flesh on it will rub off easily.
Then nail the skin to boards in the
sun, stretching it tight, and apply lit
tie neatsfoot oil, which should after.
ward be worked out with a wedge
shaped piece of wood. The skin is then
wet until soft and then worked until
dry. If it is not worked and rubbed it
will dry harsh and stiff. For sheep and
lamb skins strong suds is usually first
made with hot water, in which the
skins are washed carefully, squeezing
them between the hands to get the dirt
out of the wool. The skin is then
washed in clear water. and alum and
salt, half pound each are dissolved
in little hot water, which is put into

THE POULTRY YARD.

The old fat hens should be sent
where they will not be liable to sun
stroke.
The surplus layers should be started
on the way to market. The chicks will
soon need more room.
Dwarf Essex rape will furnish green
food for young and old birds. Sow
now or any time up to September.
A heavy dressing of lime on poultry
runs will purify them and insure the
flocks against diseases that breed in
filth.
Dry sifted coal ashes on the floors
of coops and frequent cleaning will
help to keep young birds in healthy
state. Dry earth is equally good.
Bv all means use water fountains, or
at least some form of water vessel
that the flock cannot be foulwith their
feet or otherwise. Set in shady places
and fill daily with fresh water.

ARRANGEMENT OF THE BRUSH.
inch thick. Arrange these in pairs, az
many pairs as there are notches in
each end board, and bore holes through
them at intervals of one foot, prepara-
tory to boiling them together. Brush
which has been collected from the
thicket is now placed between these
boards and clamped fast. For the sake
of c,earness only one of these brush
is shown in the illustration. The
clamps thus formed are now placed in
the notches prepared for them in the
end boards. with the brush hanging
down. They are held down by mar
row board nailed across the tops of the
posts at each end.
The device is now complete. The
difference in height at the two ends
makes it suitable for cattle of all sizes.
The brush will last for long time, but
should they become much worn, or old
and brash. they may be easily replaced.

where Defects Prove Genufneness.
The best test for rubies and emer-
aids, says DR.. Emmanuel Friedlaender
of Berlin, is microscopic examination.
Nearly every ruby and all emeralds
have many defects which are SO char
acteristic that the expert can recog-
nize them, and which cannot be pro-
iuced in artificial stones. True emer-
aids have minute Enclosures of liquids
and curious dendrites. Sapphires also
show peculiar netlike formations. A
magnifying power of 100 diameters
suffices to reveal the characteristic de-
fects. For diamonds good test j.

CoLUMBIANA DOES
 NOT FAVOR FREE PASSES.

Colunbiana, July 20.-(Special.)-- Nelson c.

Frank s. Whites ordinance on the question.
 Gordon DuBose, banker-I think 1t is an outrage on decency for members or the Legislature to ride on free passes. Of course it places them under obli- cations to the railroads. I don't think any official should Iide on pass. John s. Pitts. Tax Assessor-l donN think that any public official. either State or county, should be permitted to use passes. It works to the detri- ment of the people.
 John c. Pearson, Circuit Clerk-I hold a pass over the railroad, but am opposed to the pass system.
 J. H. Robertson. Tax Collector-I am in favor of the official pass. siL J. J. Abercrombie, attorney--L favor the amendment offered by MT. F, s. White of Birmingham. think the Convention. should adopt it. ssU el4 W. s. DuBose, phESicianrrI think if an official was a gentlean he would not accept a free pass, for an official should never be under obligation to corporation or individual, and am therefore unequivocally opposed to the free pass system.

 While the majority of the leading citizens in this immediate vicinity seem | to be opposed to the abolishment of the | free pass business, yet taking the | County as a wholes 1t is about equally divided on the subject.
