How to Hang Grindstones,

1t requires pretty fair mechanic to
hang grindstone to run true and stay
true. 1t is supposed that there are no
Hanges upon the axle. The hole should
be at least one-eighth or one-half inch
larger than the axle, and both axle and
hole square. Then double wedges for
each Of the four sides Of the square, all
alike and thin enough, so that one
wedge from each side will reach clear
through the hole. Drive the wedges
from each side. II the hole through the
stone is true, the wedges will tighten
the wedge true, If the hole is not at
right angles to the plane of the stone, it
must be made so, or the wedges corre-
spending must be altered in the taper
to meet the irregularity in the hole

A LITTLE ESSAY ON MUSK.
IF You Want to Be Left Severely
Alone Scent Yourself Lib
orally with the Stuff.

II you are going to travel, by sea or
by land, scent yourself with musk. 1t
will ward of everything and everybody
from you, dangers and moths included.
1t is generally agreeable to all man
kind. 1t is so sweet and refreshing,
and such an air purifier! In railroad
cars. where there is no air to speak of
and everybody who does not smell of
smoke and onions. smells of Goldfish
and old cider, it is especially delight
full.
It doesn't make anybody sick at the
stomach, and no well-regulated head
would ache on account of it, and the
man who would get profane, and talk
about woodchucks, and polecats, and
water rats, in connection with the
smell of musk, ought to be condemned
fat woman carrying home-smoked her
ring, and a colored nursegirl with a
baby that smells of sour milk.
At church, musk is delightful. 1t is
the very "odor of sanctity." The cler-
gyman can preach better for it, and the
bald-headed deacon and the long-nosed
sexton can sleep better and snore loud
er with it odorous fumes waited to
their nostrils with every gentle wave
your pocket handkerchief. ..
People who do not like 1t are ill
bred. 1t is the perfume Of the rich.
Empress Josephine was fond of it, and
we don't know whether that fact had
anything to do with Napoleon's getting
divorced from her or not.
Scent yourself literally. Don't be
afraid. Don't be stingy. Make your
self smell in the world, If you cannot
make yourself distinguished.
It is a land Of freedom, this is! Ev-
erybody has q right to smell as he
chooses, and If everybody else does not
like the odor, why he can plug his
nose.-N. Y. Weekly.

COOP MADE OF LARGE BOX.

year use only dry goods boxes, three
and four feet square, of one-inch lum-
Der.
The boards are taken from one side
and cleats nailed across them to make
a door. The bottom board is left nailed
on to keep the chicks in the coop till they
are five or six days old. Hang door at
top, with leather hinges, as shown in
the cut. Warm, sunny days throw the
door back on top of box; at night close
up tightly to exclude cold, rats, etc.,
and on mild rainy days prop the door
out for shelter. Lath is nailed across
the front to keep the hen in. With
these coops one can give rs to 30 chicks
to one hen. When chicks are weaned
and the cockerels sold, the coops are nice
for the pullets to roost in till frost,
when they are put in the house with lay
ing hens.-Farm and Home.

Value Of Mammoth Glover.

Men Of experience say that mammoth
clover will produce twice as much pas
turage for stock as the medium red, If
1t Is kept well grazed. When heavily
stocked, the amount of feed produced
by an acre of land is enormous. II the
clover is not kept short, the growth is
too coarse and is not relished as well
as the medium red. It is the common
experience of stockmen that the bloat-
ing of cattle on clover may be prevent
ed by having some timothy mixed with
the clover. There may be exceptions
to this rule, but have heard many

The Ladies Can't Vote.

The Richmond News Leader of Fri.
day has the following in regard to an
amendment to the charter of the town
Of Waynesboro:
A measure to enfranchise women in
the town of Waynesboro was passed
at the last session of the house of dele.
gates, and was concurred in by the
senate.
The bill was No 472, and had the
innocent title of IAN act to amend the
charter Of the town of Waynesboro."
Mr. Churchman was the patron. AT
ter the usual preamble, the bill pro-
vided for special election and con-
tanned this provision: ANY person,
male or female, q years of age, and
owning real estate in the town, shall
have the right to vote in such election. -
The proposition was to provide for
building a new school house in the
town. There was no eDacting clause,
and the measure was taken up to day
for amendment. On motion of Mr..
Opie, the words ''or female" were
stricken out, and the bill was made ef-
fectiYe on and after the day OF its pass
age.

THEY CONTINUED THEIR LAB0Rs.

Those who thought they might greet
their Legislators on their return home
in few days have been sorely disap-
pointed. True it was suggested that
it might be we'll to pass the appropri-
alton bills then adjourn and go home
for some months. and in the mean time
the workings of the laws passed in
conformity with the new constitution
might have some opportunity OF test,
and when the Legislature again as
sembled it would be known whether to
amend them or not. But no. There
is an adage which says: Put off not
until tomorrow what can be done to-
day." and this applies equally as we'll
to drawing per diems as to any other
thing. Then too these good and faith
full servants were sent to labor in their
masters vineyard. and they must be
about his business. Solomon hath
said: go to the ant thou sluggard
consider her ways and be wise. She
provideth her meat in the summer and
gathereth her bread in the harvest. ;
Tnis is the harvest at the seat Of gov
eroment, and our legislators are gath

MR.. MARTINS FEELING OF LAssITupe

We Il arm that Hon. Thomas 8. Mar
tin has been interviewed on the recent
utterance of Mr.. Brya when he said
be hoped that the Kansas City plat
form would be re-adopted. In that
interview it is stated our Senator gave
voice to the statement that the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia have grown very
tired of Mr.. Bryan and free silver.
The wish is often father to the thought
and Mr.. Martin no doubt hopes what
he thinks is so, but Mr.. Martin can
ascertain etfectualIy and fully the
truth of this assion in SO far as Au.
gusta county is concerned if he will
only come to this county and make a
speech outside of .Staunton and give
voice to those sentiments. Another
Way to test how tired the people of this
county have grown of Mr.. Bryan
would be to let Mr.. Bryan speak at
one point in Staunton, on a court
day, and let Mr.. Martin speak at an
Il
arise we will not speak for the people
OF Augusta, but we will for Senator
Martin, and will prophesy that he, Mr..
Martin, will be very weary of Mr..
Bryan before the speaking is over. as
weary as Mr.. Martin we fear has been
OF Mr.. Bryan and the silver cause ever
since his awkward and undignified
tumble into the silver band wagon in
Staunton in the summer of 1896.
1t has been suggested that fire
alarm be placed in our public school
buildings, and that the children be
drilled in leaving the building when it
is sounded, and that it be sounded at
least once week. The idea is good
one, and certainly could do no harm.
it might do vast good.

THE MARYLAND WOOL PULLING.

The Senatorial fight in Maryland
continues to grow and wax in fervent
heat. Mr. Rayner leads the van, in fact
be has nearly four times as many
votes as Mr.. Garter, the German ia
vorite. 1t looks, however, as if there
would be dead lock, and if so. there
may either be no election or there may
be dark horse brought in. The trou-
Bile about the whole fight is that all en-
gagged in it are deserters from the
Democratic fold, and have only return
ed to it because the Republican party
in Maryland wanted men of long
standing in the party and accepted
Republlcanlsm at the head of affairs,
and not batcn of gentlemen whose
virtue only welled up when their pocK-
cts dictated their course. Those who
are now striving for the highest places
in the Democratic gift, are those who
joined hands with 60 900 negro voters
III Maryland against the National
Democratic nominee in 1896, and who
are responsible for Republican success
in that State and largely in the Ma
ton, but who, having found their
presence not sOvery welcome or agree
able in that party, have decided not to
remain, but have come back claiming
to be the only Democrats marching to
the tune Of the copqueriDg hero, and
behold these same are now proclaim
ing that they will disfr4nchise the very
negroes whose company they sought,
and into whose ranks they injected
themselves in 1896 on their way to Re
publican triumph. Recollect the
negroes did not ask them into their
company, they voluntarily jammed
themselves into their ranks Is it
therefore strange that Democrats gen.
orally have no heart in the fight, and
that no matter who wins it will be re-.
garded as partial Republican victo.
