The Singer possesses every good quality necessary for a sewing machine and is
unequalled for perfection of.stitch, range of work, ease of operation, speed and durabil¬
ity. Three quarters of the machines sold throughout the world annually are Singers.
It is the most popular! Why? The Singeris the only machine that is extensively
counterfeited by unscrupoious manufacturers. We frequently find a comparative new
machine of other manufacture that is utterly useless to its owner. Why? Because over
fifty sewing machine companies have failed or gone out of business during the past five
years and parties having their machines cannot now buy eveu needles for them. Buy
a Singer end avoid the same mistake. We are represented in every County and Im
portant Town.

The Most Interesting Thing in America,
An English traveler passed through
New York on tho way to London. Ho
had spent three months in the United
States seeing things. A friend asked
what was the most interesting thing he
saw in the country, and he answered
without hesitation that it was a mule 1
Then he explained that he had visited
oertain mines where mules were used
to haul the tramcars, and their won¬
derful patience and intelligence had
made on him a deep impression.
Some of the tunnels were so low
that the animals had to hold their
heads down and j>artly stoop to go
through, but there was never any
trouble. He pointed out a character¬
istic of the mule that makes him un¬
like a horse. Many Americans havo
noticed it. If a horse touches his ears
in going under a low bridge or
through a tunnel ho will invariably
throw his head up and receive a hard
knock. When a mule’s ears touch
anything his head goes down. In some
parts of this country it is a high Com¬
pliment to o man to say that he has as
much sense as a mule.
It is seldom that a performer offers

A CABLE STATION.
—
PICTURESQUE SCENES AT AN
AMERICAN STATION.
The Operators, Isolated From So¬
ciety, Live In a World of Their
Own- Dispensing the
World’s News.
the I T imaginable, oable upon is a statkuis, well-known the most in as thus outlandish a fact, rule, wise that are throwing placed ocean spots
operators out of touch with society
and the world at large.
Just picture to yourself for a
moment a small cape running out into
the Atlantic on the most northeasterly
point of the American continent. A
little to the south, and situated some¬
what on a hill, you will see what ap¬
pears to be a small village circling into
the shape of a burse shoe. The back¬
ground is thickly clothed with small
fir trees, and immediately at the foot
of the hill is a large lake with miniature
islands clothed in rich green foliage.
Beyond the lake and as far as the
eye can. reach is one vast expanse of
water continents dividing tlio Europe Eastern and Western
of and America.
At once yon are brought to the “Oanso
Station” of tlit Commercial Cable
Company. If irik a bright summer’s
day you can enjoy a pleasing prospect
from the terrace. Under a western
sun nature is shedding forth the
beauty of all her variegated tints. The
lake below in its placid stillness looks
like ft sheet of burnished silver, here
and there dipped with the dark outline
of beautiful overhanging trees, not unlike some
mirage.'
To the southeast of the lake the
broad Atlantic rolls along in heavy
monotone, whilo far away on the
horizon a dark line of smoke Boats
leisurely in the wake of a passing
steamer. The station itself has a
picturesque appearance in the glisten¬
ing bold sunlight, the handsome office with
its frontage standing like a sen¬
tinel at the western gateway. There
are the finely laid gut tenuis courts;
the broad orescent of substantial villas,
with their small patches of greensward
and flower beds in front, and the neat
little, olub house, with its small piazza,
where the men enjoy their pipes of an
evening and watch the fleet of fishing
boats or ocean travelers passing round
the cape,
* At the eastern ontrauce the
are
bachelors’ quarters -a large two-story
building, aooommodating nearly thirty
men. Two and a half miles away is tho
fishing town of Canso, with its 2000
inhabitants.
There is nothing outside to portray
the amount of activity going on within
the office. The commercial world is in
full swing, tho calfies are being worked
at top speed and messages are pouring
in to be transmitted to all parts of tho
habitable globe, a Business is being
transacted between tho London and
New York Stock Exchanges almost as
speedily as in the exchanges them¬
selves. Here pile) gets a general idea
of the importance of submarine
telegraphy to time} IhiVarorld at large and
the value of No stopping, no
pausing, clicking nothing but rush, rush, rush,
the of sounders, the working
of automatic senders, the tapping of
keys and the steqiy buzz of recorder
instruments, quite bewildering to an
outsider.
The operators have the money mar¬
ket under their control; are edifying
the political world with the latest con¬
undrums, or flashing forth tho tidings
of some dreadful calamity across those
submerged chaius which link the Old
World with the New.
Life at a cable station is not all sun¬
shine, neither is it all shadow. We
have oitr. periods of dullness as well as
our seasons of pleasure, advantages as
well as disadvantages. W$ live in an
unconventional manner, but there are
times when wo experience a thirst for
town life, with all its rush and rattle,
merely for a change. On the whole,
however, we aro very contented and
happy, there is such a sense of freedom
so far removed from the congested at¬
mosphere of city life. Boam where
one wills there is no one to say,
“Whither goest thou?” One can shoot
all over “no man’s land" or cast the
deceptive fly on lake or stream and
wile the silvery trout from their various
haunts. There are no preserves, there¬
fore no gamekeepers or watchers.
In season wo have boating, tennis,
crioket, riding and other sports to brace
us up for the mental strain of tho op¬
erating room; also our concerts, dances
and picnics to mark the superficial Bide
of life. Naturally we have to rely on
our own resources for amusement and
entertainment, and at a large station
there is generally a fair supply of tal¬
ent in various directions; and here let
me say that a baohelor “fandango"
once witnessed is not soon forgotton.
When winter is upon us with its icy
grasp, when thrt trees and everything
around is clad in a beautiful garb of
white and glistening snow, we don our
furs and away we go across country to
the merry tinkle of sleigh bells. Snow
shoeing nnd skating also form impor¬
tant features of our winter’s pastime.
When the shades of evening cast
their dark mantles around us we
gather in the oheery olub houses and
over our pipes ‘discuss the latest news
from the outside world, sum up remin¬
iscences of othee days, talk of episodes
in our lives and experiences at other
stations in other lands, with no foreign
element to break our bond of fra¬
ternity.
There is a strange Bohemianism in
the life of a cable operator. The con¬
stant moving abont he is subjeot to,
the living in foreign countries and
mixing with different races give him a
cosmopolitan education, with a broad
and generous view of humanity, to the
downfall of many narrow and popular
prejudices. I do not know of any other
profession where exists the same fra¬
ternal feeling or spirit of cianishness
as is met with in the cable service.
Let a man travel the globe, and the
mere fact of his being a “Son of Mer¬
cury” will insure him a warm welcome
at any cable station he may visit.—
New York Herald.
The rainfall in Brisbane, Australia,

Oranges as a Medicine.
It cannot be emphasized too strongly,
especially at this season of the year and
inthisportof the world, that pure fruit
juice iB one of the best blood purifiers
and system regulators there is. In fact,
it is said to be the base of physicians’
prescriptions in cases of depleted sys¬
tems and impure blood. There ar ’
peoplo in this place who testify to this
fact, particularly as to oranges. Some
people, who have heretofore eaten fruit
between meals or just before retiring
and condemned it as injurious, have
learned in California to eat one or two
oranges with nearly every meal par¬
ticularly breakfast, and have found to
their pleasant surprise that it was bet¬
ter than any medicine they had ever
taken.
Many remarkable things have been
claimed for orauges taken ns a food,
such as making the complexion clear
and beautiful, curing the drink habit
and numerous other things as varied
and marvelous as the achievements of
corn medicines, and there arc, doubt¬
less, persons who have made themselves
miserable and ridiculous eating oranges
by the Wholesale in the endeavor to ac¬
complish some such impossible results.
But thousands of persons can testify
that a judicious use of oranges is a good
thing; but a few precautions must bo
taken. In the first place buy nothing
but good fruit, especially ripe fruit.
Green or bad fruit cannot be good for
anybody. Then, if you do not eat the
orange out of the shell with a spoon as
mauy prefer to do, be sure to peel it
carefully. The white pith lying be¬
neath the yellow rind is one of the
most indigestible substances lcnowu in
the vegetable world. It is better to
eat oranges with a spoon and take as
little as possible of the cellular matter.
Do not eat too many oranges at first;
but if the habit of eating them with
meals is once formed a person will
never be satisfied to cat a meal without
fresh fruit of some kind. The habit
will work wonders in a short time
toward regulating the system, keeping
the blood in good condition and crea¬
ting a healthy appetite.—Pomona
(Oal.) Progress.
’The Use of Lightning Rods.
A discussion, by Alexander McAdie,
of the question, Shall we erect light¬
ning rods? (Ginn & Co., Boston), in
which the arguments on both sides are
presented, leads the author to an
affirmative answer; anil ho suggests,
to those contemplating tho erection of
a rod, that they get a good iron or
copper conductor, weighing six ounces
to the foot of copper, or thirty-five
ounces if of iron, preferably of tape
form. The nature of the locality will
determine in a great degreo tho need
of a rod, as some places are more liable
to be struck than others. Tlio very
best ground that can bo got is after all
but n very poor one for some flashes,
so that the ground can not be too
good. If a conductor at any part of
its course goes near water or gas mains
it is best to connect it with them, but
small-bore fusible pipes should bo
avoided. The tip of the rod should bo
protected from corrosion or rust. In¬
dependent grounds are preferable to
water and gas mains. Clusters <of
points or groups of two or throe along
tliy ridge rod are recommended. Chain
or link conductors arc of very littlo
use. Slight faith is to be placed in
what is called the area of protection.
Lightning is much more indifferent the 1
than has been supposed to “path
of least resistance.” Any part of n j
building, if the flash is of a certain
character, may be struck, whether
there is a rod or not; but such acei
dents aro rare with tho comparatively
mild flashes of our latitudes. Tho
widespread notion that lightning never
strikes the same place twice is
erroneous, and plenty of cases aro re¬
corded to show tho contrary of it.—
Popular Science Monthly.
Nodding Off to Sleep.
The loss of voluntary power in a per¬
son sinking quietly into sleep is very
gradual. An object is grasped by the
hand while yet awake ; it is seen to be
held less and less firmly as sleep comes
on, till at last all power is gone nnd it
falls away. The head of a person in a
sitting posture gradually loses the sup¬
port of the muscles which sustain it
upright, it droops by degrees and in
the end falls upon the chest. Tho head
falls by tho withdrawal of power from
particular musoles, the slight shock
thence ensuing partially awakens and
restores this power, which again raises
the head, and this falling nnd raising,
or, in other words, the nodding, con¬
tinues as long ns the dozing off to sleep
while in a sitting posturo continues.
At the precise moment when tho mind
loses its consciousness there results a
general relaxation of all the muscles.
If the body be at rest in alying posturo
there is no marked result, but, if tho

How Glucose is Hade.
Glucose is mode of starch boiled in a
weak solution of sulphuric acid. The
liquid then becomes sweet by the change
of the starch into a kind of sugar by
the combination of two equivalents of •
water with tho starch, and two moro
equivalents of water are mixed, but not
combined chemically With the glucose.
This water causes the glucose to take
on a fluid form, as a syrup. The starch
must be boiled in the acid solution
some hours, after which the liquid is
neutralized by adding powdered chalk,
by which the excess of noi 4 is taken ui3,

A Peddler’s Retort.
"Do you want to buy some pencils?”
asked a peddler of an old country
lady, who regards agents and their kin
as a very pestilence. “No,” she an¬
swered sharply through a half closed
door. "Tape?” “No.” “Shoe
laces?” “No.” “Paper and envoi
opes?” “No.” “Needles?” “No,
no, no.” “No, no, no, no,” eohoed
the saucy mendicant, “it’s a wonder
you’ve got a no-o-oso left on your
face .”—Springfield Homestead.
Queer Japanese Animals.
The Japanese believe in the exist
cnee of a crane which, after it has
reached the ago of 000 years, has no
need of any sustenance except water.
Their mythical dragon has the head of
a camel, the horns of a deer, the eyes
of a demon, the ears of an ox, the
body of a serpent, the scales of a fish
and the claws and wings of an eagle,

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet¬
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow¬
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble ?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul¬
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

The Care of Windows.
It is surprising that women (Jo not

storekeepers for cleaning and polish
’ n fi> gloss. I havo tried it myself for
several months and found it especially
valuable during cold weather, when it
w'ould not be practicable to use water
outside. I use it both in and out.
Provide yourself with common alcohol
and whiting; make the cloth damp,
but not wet, with the liquid, then dip
it into the whiting. Rub the glass as
you would if using soap and water.
