How Tcothless Saws Work. An explanation of the manner in which a soft steel disk revolving at a high velocity cuts hard steel has rec- ently been sought with the aid of mi- croscopic inspection. The result cor roborates the view hitherto held that the material acted upon is heated at the place of contact to the fusing and brushed away. The high temperature appears to be confined very narrowly to the point of contact, so that a thin gash is cut. The temperature of the re- volving disk does not rise so high, because of the large surface area of the disk. The part of the disk in contact is continually changing, while the frictional energy is concentrated on agvery small area of the material subjected to its action.—Youth’s Com- panion. er 31 Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syyup for Children teething, softens thegums,reducesinflamma- tion, allays pain, cures wind colic, 25ca bottle WHEN MEN WORE SHAWLS President Lincoln's Partiality to His Big Scotch Plaid. On very rate occasions you now see some old lady wearing a shawl, but generally speaking this once umni- versal garment has .become obsolete. Those children that are, say. 40° years old or more can probably re- member when even men wore shawls, instead of overcoats. For about 10 years they were considered just the thing. This was the decade begin- ning with about 1860. President Lin. coln was very partial to his big Scotch shawl, which according to the vogue, he wore, not folded diagonally in feminine fashion, but - felded lengthwise, says The Pathfinder. This folded shawl was passed over the shoulders and around in front, where it was either held by the hands or pinned by a huge shawl pin. This case of the shawl is about the only one where the men have appropriated an article of wear from the women’s wardrobe—though the instances where the reverse has happened are legion. Even then, the shawl was originally not a woman’s garment exclusively, for ‘the Scotch Highlander has his tartan plaid, and the men of northern Italy. still wear a cloak which is very little’ more than a shawl. There can be no question that the shawl is more usefd#® and mere picturesque as an article of attire than the close fitting coats both men and women now wear. The shawl could, in case of emergency, be used to protect two persons, or to wrap a child in, or as an extra bed covering; its fashion did not change every three months, and it could be used and passed down in the family until it was worn out. Clock With Single Wheel. A clock with but a €ingle wheel is described in Work. It was con- structed by a Los Angeles cloek- maker, and its single wheel is more correctly deseribed as a perforated disc, which is kept under rotary ten- sion by two weights. In place’ of a and gearing, 31 %-inch steel balls are used, which operate consecutively. When the timepiece is set, one of the metal balls is caused to descend, in zigzag fashion, on two pivoted plates, one placed above the other. After the ball has descended to the lower plate, its course is di- rected in such a way that it enters one of the holes at the lower end of the perforated disc, releasing the disc and then proceeding in its rotary mo- tion the space of cne hole. The time consumed by this disc is pierced with 60 holes for. one hour’s time. The forward motion and stopping is effect- ed by the unlocking and locking of a spring. HEALTH AND INCOME. - Both Kept Up on Scientific Food. Good sturdy health helps one a lot to make money. With the loss of health one’s in- come is liable to shrink. if not en- " tirely dwindle away. When a young lady has to make her own living, good health is her best asset. “I am alone in the world,” writes a Chicago girl, “dependent on my own efforts for my living. I am a clerk, and about two years ago through close ap- plication to work and a boarding house diet, I became a nervous in- valid, and got so bad off it was almost impossible for me to stay in the office a half day at a time. “A friend suggested to me the idea of trying Grape-Nuts, which I did, making this food a large part of at least two meals a day. “To-day I am free from brain-tire, dyspepsia and all the ills of an over- worked and improperly nourished brain and body. To Grape-Nuts I owe the recovery of my health, and the ability to retain my position and income.” “There’s.a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Packing Fruits and Vegetables. My experience in this line has been largely :in the capacity of re- eeiver. Consequently,” I should rather suggest than dictate. In my long experience as re- ceiver, T note very little change in methods of packing. No package is properly put up for shipment that contains an article in several stages of growth or maturity. Take tomatoes, for-instance. The common practice is to put half-grown and ripe in the same package. The consequence is, the half-grown never ripen and the ripe omnes rot. Of course tomatoes that are put up for shipment to distant markets should not be perfectly ripe, but should be at least fully grown. All spotted and deformed stock should be rejected. The six-basket carriers or the flats make satisfac- tory packages. Lettuce should receive especial care. It should not be allowed to wither, but packed as cut. All de- cayed leaves should be picked off and in packing use both hands to tuck the outer leaves around the head to preserve it. Pack in layers with a side-pressure. Thus packed it will carry long distances, and keep fresh and crisp. : Beets should be packed with the beets in centre of barrel instead of outside, which is the common prac- tice. - a ¥ Radishes should he put up same as beets, as nearly as possible. About 100 bunches to the hamper. The great error in packing lies in the fact ‘that the grower will not. resist the temptation to put a_few inferior or worthless specimens in his package. they persist in doing it when it should be as much to the grower as it is to the receiver, that a few inferior specimens will often make a two dollar package sell for one- fifty. I have paid $1 per hamper on a shipment of radishes that couid Vermont, I cannot conceive why | the fertility of the soil. I sowed the early champion oats and when they were just out of the milk I cut them for hay with the ordinary mower. I might first say tht I had plowed the ground before sowing so that all stalks and weed trash were turned under. After the oats hay was off the field I disked it up well and planted cow peas, using the or- dinary drill planter and planting back between each row. Along about the first of September, I think it was, at least just before frost, I cut this crop of hay. The oats and peas, fed together, make an excellent feed, and the cattle and calves eat it up readily and seem to do well upon it. Cow. pea hay contains about sixteen per cent. protein, forty-two per cent. nitrogen free extract and three per cent. fat. Cow pea hay and oats hay mixed equal parts con- tain about eleven per cent. protein, forty-one per cent. nitrogen free ex- tract and 2.8 per cent. fat. Red clo- ver contains about twelve to four- teen per cent. protein, thirty-three per cent. nitrogen free extract and three per. cent. fat.—Journal of Agri- culture. . Good Growth on Skimmilk. For. several years E. R. Towle, of a correspondent of the American. Cultivator, has been using fresh, warm separator milk very suc- cessfully for calves and pigs. The milk is fed right after separation. He writes in a dairy paper as fol- lows: The present season we are raising double the usual- number of heifer calves, as they are half-blood Guern- sey and we wish to change into that breed as fast as possible by grading up. They are in warm quarters and have been kept dry and clean, an important factor in itself. They are of all ages from six months to one year and are fed accordingly. They are very thrifty and are grow- “ing nicely. Some care is needed at A SORTING TABLE FOR PACKING PEACHES. not be sold for twenty-five cents. Each hamper contained about twen- ty-five bundles of weeds and grass and about 200 wormy radishes in each bundle. 3 Of course not all growers are so careless, but enough are to bring distrust on the whole business. The time is. at hand when the Southern grower to be successful must identify himself with his pro- ducts. His name and address on his packages should be a guarantee that they are properly graded and packed. If the Southern grower could visit’ our receiving centres and see how certain marks and packs were sought after he would be surprised. It is not a surplus of desirable stock that gluts our markets at times, but an accumulation of unmarketable trash which is a loss to the shipper and a hardship to the receiver.—W. J. Grounds, in the Southern Fruit Grower. Enemies of the Moth. The work of fighting the gypsy and brown-tail moths by the use of parasites has produced encouraging results. The insects brought here from Europe have increased rapidly, and are likely to make themselves at home all through the moth section in the course of a few years. Professor Howard, of thé United States Department of Agriculture, who is carrying on the work in as- sociation with Professor Kirkland, thinks it will be several years at least before the new insects will be- gin to make much headway against the moths, probably not less than five years, and possibly not for ten years. As there are many species of the insects which feed upon moths, it seems likely that some of them will thrive and multiply fast enough to keep the moths in check as they do in infested regions of Europe and Asia. A week or two ago about eighty thousand of the parasites of the brown-tail moth were liberated. : The moth officials are also mak- ing very interesting studies regard- ing the diseases which infect the moths. It is thought that it may be possible to prepare a spray mixture containing germs of these diseases and to spread them among the moths by spraying. There is a dis- ease which produces a fungus thread- like growth in the brown-tail moth and which seems to ‘spread very easily, © almost exterminating some colonies of the moths. It is possible that this new idea of pecisoning by the use of diseases may produce ex- tremely important results, not only in fighting the moths, but in getting the best of other harmful insects.— American Cultivator. Oats Hay and Cow Peas, I have tried this mixture for sev- eral years and have found it to make an excellent hay. Last year I tried another plan that worked admirably, furnishing an abundance of excel- lent feed, besides greatly increasing ‘weight was 178 pounds. this was equal to two pounds of in- crease. per day, live weight. first in not feeding too much and thus induce bowel trouble, but as they grow older the amount of milk may be increased, but they should not be overfed at any time. Have been very free from bowel trouble this season, although no unusual precautions have been taken. Like to feed with milk until sev- eral months old, as this gives them a fine start in growth before being turned out to grass or weaned. After two months old, they will eat good hay readily, or some kind of light grain ration if considered desirable. Where winter dairying is followed, this furnishes an excellent oppor- tunity for raising calves, as they can be readily cared for and by the time there is good grass in spring will be ready to return to pasture. The idea should be to encourage a thrifty, vigorous growth of bone and muscle of the true dairy type, but not to encroach on the beef form. Some care is required in raising good stock of all kinds, but this will be abundantly repaid in the success that should always follow careful and well directed effort. . Now I wish to give a little ex- ample in pig feeding. Pigs like skimmed milk right from the sepa- rator and it makes an excellent feed, especially when a proper amount of grain is added, as these animals should be kept growing and fatten- ing at the same time. The last of February I took a Ches- ter white pig, weighing 115 pounds, alive, and put it in a pen alone where it was warm and dry. It was fed with the skimmed milk and one quart of mixed grain feed three times a day. It was fed for fifty days and then slaughtered. The dressed I calculate Morn- ing and night fresh separator milk was fed. . We now have a lot of fine young pigs in a pen together that are being cared for in the same manner with not yet so much grain, that are doing finely. They are white and clean, enjoy their meals and are growing larger and fatter every day. I v.sh to emphasize the idea of having commodious - quarters for either calves or pigs, well lighted, with plenty of bedding to keep dry and clean and then feed with care and for the purpose wanted. There is a genuine satisfaction in knowing that such treatment is humane in it- self and that the results will be such as should be expected.

Dun & Company's weekly Re- view of Trade says: «&~ “Industrial plants gradually enlarge the percentage of active machinery, furnishing more work for wage earn- ers, which stimulates retail trade, while favorable crop progress strengthens confidence in a continu- ance of recovery in business. New contracts for steel products are be- ing placed with more freedom, and collieries resume that were closed by the drouth. “Outside representatives of jobbing houses are numerous in the primary market for cotton goods, but opera- tions are restricted, as is customary at this season. : “Spinners can see no profit in oper- ations on the present basis and hence make no effort to get the small busi- ness that offers. Bradsireets says: “Good crop reports, the advance of the season, and growth in confidence as to the trade outlook are reflected in reports of moderate eniargement of future buying at a few large centers, notably in the West and Southwest. Industria] lines, too, have been bene- fited by evidences of revival in de- mand, and the number of idle opera- tives has been reduced as a whole. Still the progress making is of a very conservative kind, curtailment of in- dustry is still a marked feature, and small orders for immediate shipment largely made up the volume of pusi- ness doing by jobbers. “Retail trade is fair as a whole, be- ing stimulated by price reduction sales, though complaint of stocks not moving rapidly come from some cities, and collections show little, if any, im- provement. Best reports come from the Central West, Northwest. and Southwest, and the excellent outlook for the cotton crop makes for a bet- ter tone of advice from the South. MARKETS. - PITTSBURG.

Watch nar- rowly the process, cautions the Chris- tian Register. A new thing is done with a high degree of conscious effort; each step is deliberately thought out, and every movement is assiduously guided. Do this again and again; with repetition there is a decrease of con- scious effert, but an increase of ease, grace, facility. These forces below the eonsciousness are guidance of the physical activities. And many things, once they have be- come “habitual,” are done better the less we consciously think about them. The wise man does mot leave to ran- dom activity the training of twis meas- ureless capacity for the development of reserve forces. If a man and a woman live together in perfect acccrd, perfect friendship and sympathy, growing together, help- ing each other, studying each other, they will find that they can get on well, form a complete society of their own, without much help from the out side, moralizes the New York Journal. ] brought home with him as a servant, taking over the. The Thumb Mar: iage Service, A young couple, natives of Ceylon, appeared recently: before a magistrate in Ohio and asked to. be married.

In answer to comment which was made as to the queer custom the young man, whe had been educated in Eng- land, said: “The thumb used to play aa important part with Europeans aiso, and ng oath, I read, was so bind- ing, once upon a time, as that which was taken by pressing the thumb on the sword blade.
