THE BLACK AMISH.
4 SETTLEMENT THAT BARS THE
 MODERN

Why the People of Adams County, Indi-
 ana, Hate the Threshing Machine-A
 stern, strait Sect That Browns on
 Art, but Practices Charity.
 Last spring a big public sale was held near Berne, and it was attended by several of the conservative ''black' Amish A photographer was present,
 The stem thrasher Trusts" have no hold on the conservative black Amash settlements of Indiana, in which, it is asserted, says the Fort Wayne correspondent of the Indiana polls News, that the world is flat in- stead of round; that man has no right to work Gods winds by the use of wind mills, and where the devil is said to be in steam and in mans modern de- vices. The thrashing season has just begun in this section of the State, and in the conservative black" Amish set dement's, which are strung in spots from Troy, O., to Elkhart, Ind, one can witness the sights of several de- cades ago-thrashing by horsepower.
 The harvest of the grain in the settle ments was equally as interesting. The wheat was all vut by machines that were free from the selfbinding improve ments of recent years and it was bound by hand. The men who are so firmly grounded in their religious convictions against the new, quick, 'devilish' or der fthings wear long boards and long hair that have not been profaned by the use shears or clippers, and they dress in coarse garments of black or wrok garments of yeliowish- brown. cast. These garments are made without the use of the sewing machine-and, if possible, they are made of cloth that has been woven in steam loom Indi- ana has many interesting queer reli- gious sects, but probably the black Amish people are the queerest, and one can see them at this season of the year in their most interesting phases.
 They began cutting their wheat two weeks ago, and carefully avoided all of the modern labor-saving machines. They brought out of hiding some of the oldtime implements thet country a large in it's rapid of progress discard ed about six generations ago-those old machines that let the wheat fall on bed from which, at intervals, it is raked by hand and carefully bound by hand, wheat itself instead of twine be- ing used for the binding.
 Now that the thrashing season is on, the conservative "black" Amish as carefully avoids the steam-thrasher and is proceeding along equally anti quated lines. He is thrashing by the use of hand and horsepower. He says that the devil himself is in the new de- vices of man to eliminate work, and the conservative "black' Amish will not be the devils patron.
 Berne, located in Adams County, County, might be said to be the capi- tai of the black Amish belt, and it is around that locality that the most interesting of the old customs and pre- judices of the queer lot of people can be observed. They fight anything that in their opinion encourages slothful- ness, and, of course. find Biblical sup

 days was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago.
 "The psoriasis first made it's appear ance in red spots, generally forming q circle, leaving in the center aspot about the size of silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form Q heavy dry scale of white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, al- though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If 1 let the scales remain too long without remov- ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. l suffered intense itching. worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost imbearable.

Graves and GravediEEers

acknowledging is not gay bust
ness" said a gravedigger, but it is a
very old one, and many curious super
st1tlons surround it. One of these is
never to buy a new spade. To dig a
grave with a spade that is new Is sup
posed to bring death in the family with
in a twelvemonth. Hence gravedig-
gers buy their spades second hand as a
rule. Another superstition with some
IS that grave should never stand
open overnight. 1t should not, they say,
be dug till the day Of the funeral. If it
Is made the day before, beware. There
is a third superstition that if a cock
crows once while grave is being dug
one friend Of the digger will die; if it
crows twice, two will die; If thrice.

Standard Oil Prosperity.

. OF all investments now offered the
public, none perhaps is so certain to
produce quick and large profits as the
Self Threading Sewing Machine
Needle Company of Minneapolis.
This is true because the manufacturers
of this wonderful needle have a mo-
nopoly of the business, and having
already a larger demand than they
can meet and as the profit on needles
is simply enormous-about 600 per
cent owners of the stock in this
concern are more than likely to ex-
perience some real Standard Oil pros
perity. If you have; q few idle dollars
that you'd like to invest at something
like II per cent to begin with, it will
certainly pay you to investig ate this.

Resin.

The resin Of the shoemaker and fid-
der is obtained from different species
of the fir tree-as the Scots fir, the
larch and the balsam fir of Canada 1t
Is we'll known that a resinous juice
exudes from these trees, which hardens
into solid tears. The clear juice itself,
before it has dried up by coming to the
surface, is known in commerce as tur-
pentine and is in the main composed Of
oil Of turpentine and resin. When the
Juice is distilled, the oil comes over,
and the resin remains behind. When
the distillation is carried on to dryness,
common resin is formed, but when
water Is mixed with it while yet fluid
the resulting mass is the variety called
yellow resin, which is more preferred
for most purposes because it is more
ductile than the former, owing prob
ably to its containing some oil.

History of the Typewriter.

teresting,' said an inventor. 1.-THE first
patented machine was Henry Mills.
It was as big rs bureau and made no
popular appeal. This was in England
In TIA. The first type bar machine
was made in America. Its inventor
was A. H. Beach. The patent was
taken out in 1856. The Beach type
writer was not practical. The first
practical typewriter was invented by
Latham Sholes in 1867. Sholes had for
partners S. w. Soule and Carlos Gid

till some years later that Sholes got his
machine ready for the market. Then
