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.

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 to serve at a theatrical benefit in vain, but such was the case recently when Lottie Gibson tendered her talents in behalf of her husband, the Comedian Ward, who had just come from jail for beating her and setting fire to her flat.

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, just preceding tho disastrous floods there was tremendous. In four days seventy-seven inohes of water fell from the clouds, or nearly as muob as falls in one of tjje pastern Btatea herf in two year* 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 body be in an uneasy posture, such ns sitting, then the relaxation of the mus* cles causes the falling of the head and nodding described.—Brooklyn Eagle, “Square In the Eye.” The ability to look you “square in the eve” iB generally ° r. regarded P as an excellent characteristic , . ofaman. Tliero ore some DeoDle " who don’t think tlint way, however. , ,,,, They prefer , the ., gen tleman who modestly keeps liis eyes averted. They know of nothing more annoying than an impudent stare, such as tho gentleman generally indulges in who prides himself on the ability in question. Some of the most honorable and Straightforward “shifting” men in nnd the they coun¬ find try have eyes, it uncomfortable to gaze steadfastly at anybody or anything more than a minute at a time, As we grow older we begin to realize that it isn’t safe to make ironclad rules for tlie judgment and measurement of our fellow beings. The standard that will apply admirably in one instance is hopelessly unreliably in another.—Washington News. 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, —New Times, A Peddler’s Retort.

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. ££ Judge Syrup” J- B.
