played another of those hair raising
games of which we have had so many
this season, leading at times and drop

great fight as both teams wanted the
first game and wanted it mighty bad.

we'll it can't be told, but the boy GER
tainly mixed them and they looked
like candles. The support was we'll
nigh perfect and Woodstock, although
making stubborn fight, could never
win. The management wants to say
to that the boys played for Barton and
every man was in bed at 10 O'Clock on
both nights and refused to attend the
dance Friday night, thinking more of
the games than of Woodstock's fairer
sex. The Woodstock team treated us
very nicely and they are gentlemen
and ball players, and while we have
won two and tied one out of four
games, we are trying to continue the
series at Barton with two more games.
We have only pleasant recollections
of our try and we hope to have more
games with them.

The early settlers in the eastern
part of the town endured like hardships
with those of the west. They went
to Burke, IA miles distant, for all their
supplies except milling, crossing a
mountainous ridge. the rise and fall
being several miles. It was called the
ten-nile woods. and when some bold
adventurer dared to make pitch there
and fell few acres of trees, it really
seemed to shorten the distance,
making it an oasis in the wilderness.

The Kind That Are Used on the Big
Plate Glass Wagons.

Probably about as costly a sort of
mattress as any is one that is made
not to sleep on at all, but to spread
on the long, broad table or platform of
the wagons built for carrying plate
glass.
These mattresses, which are made of
curled hair, are very thin. scarcely
thicker than comfortable, and must
be made with the greatest care to in
sure perfect uniformity of thickness.
A lump anywhere would be likely to
break the plate Of glass resting upon
it, and there would be still greater
danger if the weight of two plates of
glass was rested on the lump at once.
mattress for plate glass wagon
costs. according to size, from $50 to
SIS. In use the corners of smaller
plates carried on it cut into the tick
ing covering, and sooner or later it has
to be made over. Simply to make over
such mattress costs from 500 to $25.
On the table topped and mattress
covered glass wagons the biggest
plates are carried with confidence and
safety. The table is built to remain
absolutely rigid, and the thin but uni
form mattress protects the plate from
| jar
Before plate glass store fronts had
come into common use, when the han
ding of Zig plate was counted as a
good deal more of job than it is now,
/ they used to carry a great pane of
glass in a sort Of frame. which was
put on the wagon with the glass in it.
At its deStinat ton this frame or SUP
port was worked carefully across the
sidewalk to the store front. where the
glass was dislodged from it to be set,
and altogether the setting Of a great
! plate of glass was then quite an un-
dertaking.
Now. with the setting of such plates
a common daily occurrence and with
men skilled in the handling of them,
they simply carry a big plate out and
lay it on their mattress covered table
topped wagon and carry it to where
it is to go and there slide it off. to rest
it for moment on blocks on the side
walk, and then they pick it up and
carry it to the window front
Then they run under the lower edge
Of the glass lifting straps. by which
men standing inside the window as
we'll as men standing outside can lift
ON it when the glass is put into place
in the window frame. There again it
issehised On blocks until the straps can
be withdrawn, and then the blocks are
taken out and the glass secured in
place, all this being done with great
care, but still with comparative ease
and Quickness and with certainty. and
in these times great panes of glass
are thus moved and set on all but the
windiest days.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

ANTIQUITY Of the Oath.

The oath is practically as old as his
tory. AS far back as we can go we
find some form of appeal to the forces
that are stronger than man. The oath
calling God to witness is of course
much later than that made in the name
of the powers of nature, fire, flood and
tempest or the ferocity of wild beasts
or the terror of the pestilence. The
gesture of the raised hand and the for
mula, 80 help me God" are of Jewish
Christian origin. although the ancient
nations swore in the name of their
gods.

Fertilizers for Summer and
Fall Top-Dressing and
Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
in many cases better results are OBJ
tanned on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to top
dressing and seeding-down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that
we can furnish formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and seeding-down grass land.
These formulas have not only been ap-
proved by the Vermont Experiment
Station, but have been used with ex-
cellent results by great many farm
ers in Vermont and have proved thor
Oughly reliable. We can also furnish
the materials for mixing fertilizers in
accordance with these formulas. We
should be pleased to send the formulas
together with full directions for mix
ing, cost of materials, ETC., to any one
who will write US, mentioning this pa

The Original Boston Food Fair.

In planning the Boston Food fair
the original Boston Food fair, given
by the Boston Retail Grocers' associa-
ton from September % to October 81
in the Park Square Coliseum. the
management took into account that the
styles in expositions, and the build
ings they are given in, change from
time to time just as fashions do. They
accordingly selected the mammoth
Park Square Coliseum as the most
advantageous in every particular for
the Food fair this year. If the Park
Square Coliseum had been built
specially for their purposes the
Boston Retail Grocers' association
could not have more suitable EXPOSE
ton building for keeping abreast of the
advancement in the public's taste.
With the remodelling and new interior
architectural decoration, the Park
Square Coliseum will be ideal.
Other large show buildings in Boston
have advantages, as measured by the
public demand nowadays for improved
conditions in large expositions. in hav-
ing their exhibition spaces distributed
largely throughout the basement and
galleries and dark corners. Built long
ago, the old time exposition buildings
are no longer up to modern require
ments.
The fact that the Park Square Coli
scum has its entire vast exhibition
area, the largest in the country, on one
level, and the street level at that is
only one of the distinguishing modern
advantages. Fully as important is
the fact that it is located in the heart
of the shopping and theatre districts,
with no extra car ride and fare to
reach it.
