And the milk pitcher came down on his head, she caught bim by the necktie and the oldest boy ran out doors and yelled 'fir!'

The young roan could not find ditto' in bis vocabulary, and asked his fa ther the next day as tbey were hoeing cab bage, what it meant.

It is easily understood ; familiarity with it action is very quickly acquired, and It needs hardly any practice of i skiil ia the otierator. Tbe siijieiior advantages obtained in the "Do mestic" ore mainly : 1. Light Runnini!. 2. 4uietness no Cains or (.ear Wheels. 3. Perfect Stilcli Double-thread Lock Stitch. 4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con struction. 5. Absence of all Friction. C. Great range of Work. 7. Ease of Operation. We do not say that the Domestic' i the only Machine worthy of public favor. We admit there are oaie possessing real and acknow ledged merit ; but we do claim, and are prepared to demonstrate, that the Domestic" ha many excellence that render it JteidtJlj tuptrivr to tny otfitr iVA.n now before the public. Let every woman, therefore, examine for her lf into its merit when she buys a tnachine. This is an important purchase, uot to be care lessly made ; one thai will influence her com fort," probably for a long time.
