THE SOUTHERN WORLD, SEPTEMBER 15,1882,
18
Having placed the watch on the table, the not be out of place to speak of sitting on
signor shook the hat and turned it towards
the audsence, showing it to be partly filled
with loose bank-notes. These he began to
remove by the handful, placing them on
the table with the watch with many excla
mations of surprise, amidst roars of laugh
ter from the spectators.
Then he shook the hat again to see if was
empty at last; and hearing something rat
tle, fished out a ring.
“ A gold ring," he exclaimed, holding it
up before theaudience. “ Adiamond ring!"
letting it sparkle in the light. “ Now what
a temptation this is to place before an hon
est conjurer! I’ll have nothing more to do
with this hat and its contents."
With these words he produced the climax
of astonishment by handing the h <t back to
the owner witli the bank-notes crowded into
it, and giving him the watch and ring.
The most pleased and wonder-struck per
son present was probably the planter him
self, as he showed the treasure to his wife
and children, and they recognized the genu-
iness of the articles. Perhaps George was
not so surprised as the rest, but be had
reason to feel a keener joy than anybody
else.
Meanwhile the signor stepped back to the
platform and said, with a bow,—
11 Ladies and gentleman, the evening per
formance is ended.”
Mr. Oatman called on the conjurer again
the next day, and urged him to accept a re
ward for the recovery of his property, and
also to explain the way the thing was done.
The signor declined to do either, saying
that if he should explain his tricks to every
body who asked about them, he would soon
have no surprise left for the public. The
planter thanked him most heartily, and
they parted the best of friends.
Ttie youth he had helped to rescue from
ruin also called, and begged to know how
he could show his gratitude to the friendly
conjurer.
“There is only one way," said the signor,
taking him by the hand and looking earnest
ly into his eyes. “ Be kind and true to
your good parents and dear sister, and keep
your promise, never, never to fall into the
odious vice of gambling again." .
The youth renewed his vows, which the
conjurer had the satisfaction, long after
wards, of knowing had been faithfully kept._
As for the planter's family, wo may be
sure that they never ceased to think with
gratitude of the wonderful Signor Blitz.—
Youth’s Companion.
The Old Ball Fence.
The placing of barbed wire fences around
farms, usurping the place of the old rail
fence, destroys half of the pleasure of farm
ing There is something about the old rail
fence that is real comfortrble, ami the barbed
wire fence is forbidding, cold, repulsive.
Until you come to think of it, there does
not seem os though there was a great deal
of solid comfort in a rail fence, but there is.
Did you ever see two old farmers leaning
against a rail fence, whittling, and talking
politics or a horse trade for hours together 7
They are more comfortable, and rest more
than they would if they were occupying the
softest sofa, or the best stuffed arm chair in
the world. There are so many shapes a man
can get into, to rest, about a rail fence. First
the furmer will fold his arms and rest them
on the top rail, and lean his breast on the
fence, and talk for half an hour, until his
legs are tired, then lie will step one foot up
on the second rail from the bottom, and
stand and whittle for half an hour, until
the top of the rail is as polished as a piece of
mahogany. Then he will change feet and
lean one elbow on the second rail from the
top, and sharpen bis knife on his boot, and
talk for half an hour about how he is going
to pay the mortgage on his farm next year.
After that position becomes irksome he will
turn his back to the fence, stand on his
heels, and place his two elbows on the top
rail, and lean against the fence, and for
half an hour he will tell about how the old
mare that he was trying to trade off cleaned
out all the teams on the road coming back
from the celebration at lown, after the fire
works on the 4th, and how, if he wasn't
fixed just as he is, and wanted the twenty
dollars boot money to send Nathan off to
the select school, there is no man on ear. h
that could buy that mare. Then he will get
tired and stand around sideways, put his
left arm up on the fence, and begin to whit
tle again, and swear the man that runs the
cheese factory down at the corner is skin
ning us farmers out of our eye teeth. With
out going into details as to ninety-nine
other combinations by which a farmer can
rest on, about or against a rail fence, it may
top of a fence. The farmers, after trying
several positions, will instinctively climb up
the fence and rest on the top rail, their feet
resting on the third rail from the top, which
is always laid with projection enough to
make good footing, and an hour will pass as
the fellows talk of the times when they set
tled in the countrv, and of the hardships
they have endured, aud how the children
have grown up and gone away, and the con
versation will drift in a sleepy channel, and
the sun will begin to sink in the west, and
the horny-handed sons of toil will suddenly
remember that the chores are to be done,
and with a “good night, L'ge," and a, “Drop
around agin to-morrow, Ike," they will sep
arate and one will take a milk pail and a
one-legged stool and go towards the lot
where the cows have come home, while the
other will go across the road to ills barn and
throw down some hay for the horses, and
they will both go to bed at eight o'clock as
tired as though they had been mowing. But
they had a splendid, easy visit on the old
What Younq Men Should Do.—Every
young man should make the most of him
self intellectually, morally and physically.
He should depend upon his own efforts to
accomplish these results.
He should be willing to take advice from
those competent to give it, and to follow
such advice unless his own judgment or
conviction, properly founded, should other
wise direct. He should never be discour
aged by small beginnings, but remember
that all great results have been wrought out
by apparently slight causes.
He shonld never, under any circumstan
ces, be idle. If he cannot find the employ
ment he prefers, let him come as near his
desire as possible—he will thus reach tin-
object of ambition.

washer
A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
without chemicals and without wear and tear or yel
lowing of clothes.
More than fifty thousand of theae Washers are
now in use, giving perfect satisfaction. We have
thousands of testimonials front all parts of the
country—from Public Institutions. Hotels, clergy
men. Lawyers, Farmers, Editors and every class of
people, and the Editorial Commendations of all the
principal papers In the land.
In 1878, The Blssell Manufacturing Company pur*
chased the patent, and after two years’ experiment
ing succeeded In simplifying the Washer, and In
adapting It to use Inanyslsa and style of holler, as
also In tne old-fashioned Iron wash-pot so much used
In the South.
THE PRINCIPLE OP THE WAKIIEK.
The operation of tfce washer consists In rapidly and
continuously forcing the hot soap suds contained In
the boiler from the bottom to the surface through a
tube, and then drawing It down again through the
tolled clothing, while that Is expanded by the bolllnr
heat—causing It to remove every purtlcle of dirt ani_
leaving the articles after rinsing thoroughly cleansed
and bleached. It Is Impossible for It to tear or wear,
or In any way Injure the fabric, as there Is no friction
whatever.
HOW DOEN THE WASHER WORK?
The Washer having been placed in the bottom of
the boiler or pot, as soon as the water commences to
boil, all which Is beneath the washer being surround
ed with heated metal becomes hotter than that In the
remainder of the boiler, and thus has a tendency to
rite through the tube, while at the same time all the
steam formed beneath the washer Is forced to pass
out through the tube, and carries along with It the
water In tne washer and tube with great power. Us
place being supplied by the water outside, wbteh Is
rapidly drawn Into the washer and In turn heated
and expelled, thus creating a constant and powerful
current upward through the tube and downward
through the fabric, giving a tvoter force which cannot
be obtained In any other way. The fabric being ex
panded to Its utmost by the boiling water, the dirt,
softened by the action of the soap, Is swept away by
the force ol the flow.
Thus we have, 1st. The greatest possible heat: 2d.
Perfect chemical actlou of the soap; and 3d. Force of
water. All of which are necessary to thoroughly
cleanse and purify any fabric.
What it it that clt ante* the clothing In the ordinary
mtx%qof washing by rubbing, pounding, squeeslng,
drawing between rollers, etc.? It la the filling of the
fabric with soap suds and then forcing it out again,
and repeating the process until the clothes are clean.
But these processes require hand labor. You must
ttJMf or n,b * whn * w,lh tha
ROBBIhb WABHhK the labor it dUpnued with, and
any other work of the house may bedoue while the
washing Is doing itteif.
THE I’APAITTY OF THE WANIYER.
There are two sixes—the No. I or family alee, which
works In any family boiler or wash-pot having a bot
tom 8S by 8 Inches or larger, and holding 10 to 12 gal*
Ions of water. It will wash bed or table linen, a boil
er full In 10 or 1& minutes, wearing apparel in from 30
to 90 minutes, without rubbing, and requires no pre
vious preparation of the clothes, such as soaking
over nl/ht. Take the clothes dry. and when the
Wtinher a ktn thoroughly at WOKK. fill the boiler,
gently pressing them down with a stick. Use only
good soap and soft water. 1 f the water is hard It may
be softened by a small piece of borax, which Is harm-
pieces, from 1.500 to 2,0X) per day.
We also make a Washer 5x8 in ‘ties, suitable for use
In sunken bottom boilers, of the same capacity as our
No. 1, and at same price.
THEY ARE HARE OF NOLID It KAN'S,
(except the tube), and can neither rutt, corrode, break
or wear out.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Q. What kind of boiler do you use? A. Any kind
of boiler or pot will do.
Q. How can you have a flow of water at the rate of
ten gallons per minute In a boiler holding only ten
gallons? A. The same water Is used over and over
again: and to be thus used. It must pass down through
and through the fabric, and this with the soap aud
heat does the work.
Q. Can you wash flannels and colored clothes? A.
We wash anything that can be washed. Flannels
and colored clothes need but little soap, and from
five to ten minutes of the full operation of the wash
er. Flauntin nhould be rlnteil in hot water. It Is the
change from boiling to coi.d water that contracts
the fibre, musing them to shrink. Fugitive prints
will part with their colors by any process, but fast
colors will not be Injured.
Q. Can you use common soft sosn? <\. Yes. If good.
Q. Is It not better to put very dirty clothes to soak
overnight? A. No.
Q. Will your washer remove the streaks from dirty
wristbands and collars? A. The Washer will cleanse
the dirtiest clothing. Olve the clothes a thorough
rinsing.
Q. How can It be possible for so simple a thing to
cleanse fabrics ? A. How Is It possible for It not to
cleanse fabrics? Remember that the entire contents
of tne boiler are forced through the expanded cloth
ing every minute, or at least twenty times every wash
ing, and you will nee what the result mtiH be.
Q. Will your washer do ever) thing you claim for
it? A. Yes, It will. We guarantee tins.
