Binder and Keapsr Trast.

The understanding is that the I rust will establish one house in Indianapolis, and the entire state will be sapplied with reapers and binders from that headquarters. The hundrods of salesmen who have canvassed the state thoroughly every year will nearly all have to look for new jobs.

But few people know what a large force of men has been employed In selling, setting up aud settling for binders all orer the country. Wben one considers that the companies hate scores of distributing points all over the country, and at each point from ten to one hundred travelers, one can get an idea of a part of the expense that there is in putting out these great labor saving machines. There are over twenty concerns in the United States engaged in the making of binders on a large scale, the largest of these being the McCormick and Deeriug companies of Chicago the Warder, Bushnell & GlesBuer company, and the Whitely Reaper company, of Springfield, 0., and the Walter A. Wood company, of Hossick Falls N. Y. Each of these establishments employ from 2,500 to 3,000 men, and turns out annually over 150,000 machines. Then eomes the Buckeye Reaper company, of Akron, with an annual out-put of 10,000 to 12,000 binders, the D. M. Osborne company, of Auburn, N. Y., and the Flano Manufacturing company, of Jflano, Ills., about the same number. The strife for business among these giants has become so groat that it looked as if apart or all bad to quit business

Binders that a few years ago were sold for $250 have been sold during the past season for $125, and payment, made by farmer's notes, running sometimes two or three years without interest. At the close of the season, if there was a prospect of any binders being unsold, orders were sent ont from the makers to their agents to *ell at all hazards, "as next season a new machine will come ont, and they eould not sell old ones at any price and so another cut was made, biaders frequently selling at the end ef the season for $75, a figure that only showed heavy loss to the manufacturers.

The consolidation of these twenty big consolidation of these twenty big concerns wil work temporary loss to thousauds of men.— Lafayette Journal.

A Horss Story.

The following clipped from the American Field, a sporting paper published at Chicago, is good enough to repeat: About thirteen miles, north west of Crawfordsville, Indiana, lives a farmer by the name of Bosweil Clougb. Mr. Cl ngh is one of thoBe large-hearted, broad-gauge fellows whose liberality is not confiaed to the wire fence—the limits of his font htlhdred acre farm. He is an ardent admirer of shooting, although no shot himself. There are two things on which Mr. Clo'jgh prides himself. One, his equine pointer the other, his skill as a pedro player. An invitation to spend a day with him found us at his farm one Sunday evening, aud the next morning wo were to be shown a ease of equine vs. canine. Early Monday morning my two. friends and I left the hnu$e for a day's qaar shoot, to be joined at a given point later on by Mr. Clough and his saddle mare. Our three dogs began the work mapped out for them early, and time passed rapidly. About the tune we were to join Mr. Clough we heard a vigorous "hello!" about two hundred yards off in a com field, and we knew it was our host. Calling our dogs np we hastened to him, and were rewarded by the information that "about forty yards up that row boys, is a kevy." Well, this was an experience. What I bad expected to be a joke was an actual fact. Sending the dogs in, tho bevy was pointed, and worked nicely by my two friends while I followed this old game finder. Mr. Clough's plan is to ride up and down corn rows about ten or fifteen rows apart until a held is thoroughly worked. As the mare approaches a bevy she will throw her head up and down, and, on nearer approach will snort gently. This is the time Mr. Clough calls in the shooters. He often sees the bevy a few yards ahead of him, but as a rule is only gaided by the skillful work of the mare, never thinking of looking for birds until the mare begins to show signs of game. From ten o'cloek that morning until three in the afternoon tbe mare located five bevies of birds.

She is pious and God fearing Monday slie hobbled to \l«ria Woodworth's ruvival, wouttotho altar and prayed to be restored to health. Durlug this time Mrs. Woodworth sat by hr, placed her hands en her limbs aud gently stroked them presently she rose to her feed, held her hands over the prostrate Mrs. Baxter, and in loud tones exclaimed: "In the names of Jesus of Nazareth, arise and walk." Mrs. Baxter, with wild, delirious joy, arose and leaped over the railing in front of her, sailed op and down the aisles of the charcb, shouting and singing. Then she went home and her crutches are that church yet.

FIRE OPALS IN IDAHO.

Only Two Other Bllnes on the Ainerl...v cau Continent. A deposit of fire opals has been discovered four miles northwest of Moscow, Idaho. This discovery is a very important one, as the stones are very valuable, and are found in but two other places on tho American continent—Mexico having one mine and the State of Georgia tlie other. Tho opals were thrown out with the dirt drawn up from a well which was being dug, and were noticed by a, jeweller of Moscow who chanced to be hunting in that vicinity. All the country adjacent to the farm on which the discovery was made lias been staked out into claims and prospecting is going- on at a rapid pace. A company has been organized and is now pushing thu wor* of development

What Lupus Is.

Lupus vulgaris, of which we are now hearing so much, is an extremely chronic disease of the skin, attacking persons between the ages of Sand 15. It is characterized by the appearance of reddish brown nodules of granulation tissue upon the skin, usually of the face. The mucous membranes are rarely affected. The nodules start in the coriuin, but penetrate the connective tissue beneath and the papillary layer above. The disease spreads by the formation of fresh nodules at the periphery of the original lesion. New centers form and tbe old ones may gradually disappear. If the tissue breaks down an open sore is found, covered with yellowish and brownish crusts. Unlike ordinary tubercle, the lupus nodules are rather vascular.

Tubercle bacilli are found in the tissue, but they are very infrequent, and often many examinations are required to detect them. Inoculation ol lupus nodules will, it is asserted, cause tuberculosis in rabbits and guinea pigs, but inoculation of the skin with tubercle will not produce lupus. For this and other reasons so distinguished an authority as Kaposi denies that lupus is a cutaneous tuberculosis, although that view is held positively by Koch and his pupils. Lupus, chronic as it is in its tendencies, often disappears for a time under treatment, only to reappear later. Dermivtologists generally give a favorable prognosis, provided treatment is persisted in.— Medical Record.

How Dolls' Heads Aro Made. "I wonder whether my little girl and other little girls know how Santa Claus makes the beautiful dolls lie brings them?" said a down town manufacturer of children's.novelties. "The mftktng.of a wits don Is quite along process. The legs are filled out with moss and sawdust. So are tho arms and body. The head is more difficult to make. First comes the molding from a whit.y brown paste. The head is. molded in halves—the back nnd the front—and then the two parts are joined together by tho samo sort of paste. "Heads are made by the thousand of all shapes and sizes and left for tho moment unpolished. Then they are dipped into boiling wax. After this the head is provided with a pair of eyes. Sometimes Santa Clans does not select two eyes, exactly aliko. Then comes the eyelashes and the hair. Santa Claus always makes up hijf dolls' hair in thonewest fashion. Sometimes he puts teeth into the mouth. When the head is finished he easily fastens on the rest of the body.','—New York Telecram.

MRS. WILVERTON'S BALL

Mrs. Alison sat in her^easy chair and tapped her foot impatiently as she worked. Mr. Alison paced tho floor uneasily and frowned darkly. It was evident there was a storm brewing in the domestic atmosphere. Indeed, tbe first faint drops of the coming shower were already pattering down on the dainty dress Mrs. Alison was embroidering for hor beloved baby. "For pity's sake, Maud," broke forth her liege lord, "don't begin crying. Why can't you be sensible and look at the matter in a sensible way? It ought not to be so hard for you to yield to my wishes, when I hftve good reasons for asking you to do it liesides." "1 don't know what you call Rood reasons," sobbed Maud Alison. "You don't know the Wilvertons that you should wish me to give up attending their ball— snch a magnificent affair as it's going to be, too." "That's tho chief of my reasons—because I don't know anything about tbe family— neither for nor against them. But the man's face is enoir to condemn him. I wouldn't trust him an inch out of my sight." "You're as unjust as you can be," cried Mrs. Alison indignantly, "to say such unjust things about a stranger of whom you know nothing. I do believe you are Jealous of him because he was so attentive to me at Mrs. Fitzgerald's party."

Mr. Alison whistled. "Jealoust I should hope I wasn't quite imch a fool. But I do think you are altogether too careless in taking up with people so rashly. You haven't known the family a month, and yet Mrs. Wilverton is as much at home here as if tbe house belonged to her. I don't like it, and I expressly desire that you will see as little of either her or her husband as is possible until something more is known of both of them. Especially do I wish you to decline their invitation to this ball. I don't want my wife known as the chosen friend of a pair of adventurers."

And having delivered this decision Mr. Alison walked out of the room. Thereat his pretty wife was justly indignant as well as At what he had said. Anger had dried the tears uoon her cheeks as she muttered: "Adventurers, indeed as if that were possible! 1 am sure that Mr. and Mrs. Wilverton are as elegant and refined as any people of our acquaintance, and everybody says the ball will be magnificent, and everybody is going, too, and —and—so am I. I will not be deprived of every little pleasure I chance to care for because Fred chooses to dictate in that lordly manner. I shall go to the ball in spite of him so, there!"

And the little foot came down with emphasis upon the soft carpet bemeath it. Thus it Avas that Mr. and Mrs. Alison so nearly quarreled this bright morning in early December. The Wilvertons had issued cards for a grand reception and ball, to which nearly all the elite of the town had responded favorably. Could Mrs. Alison decline? She did not intend to, at all events.

Yet it was with rather a failing heart that she penned her acceptance of the invitation and commenced her preparation for the great event. She had never yet in their pleasant married life acted so willfully in opposition to her husband's wishes. But this time she felt herself in part excusable. "If he had asked mo not, to go," she said,, half penitently, "I mi«ht have thought better of it, but I won't be commanded. I didu't marry to become my husband's slave, and I'll go to this ball if only to show him that I can think for myself and shall act as

I choose, whether he objects

or not." You see, the little lady was fast working herself up to a very high pitch of virtuous indignation, and she was scarcely disposed to pay any attention to the faint monitions of conscience, especially when it dared to whisper that she was wronc.

The night of the ball came around at last, as all things do when patiently waited for. At breakfast that day Mrs. Alison had announced to her husband her intention of attending the ball. "You are not in earnest?" he said. "Indeed, I am," was the defiant reply. "My preparations are all completed, and Mrs. Leighton has offered me a seat in her carriage in- case yon persist in not escorting ine yourself." "I certainly shall not go," her husband answered firmly. "And I cannot believe my little wife will go without me," he added pleasantly. "Give me a kiss, pnss, and when I come home this evening I trust you will have put all this nonsense out of your head. By, by!"

But his wife would not look at him when he kissed her, and Btamped her footanerily as the door closed behind him and she heard his careless whistlo as he ran down steps. "I'm not a baby," she said to herself, "and I won't be treated like one. He shall find out that I can go without him."

And he did come to a realising sense of the fact when he came to dinner that evening. Running lightly upstairs to their room, the first sight that met his amazed eyes was his pretty wife in full festive robes. "Well, dear," she said with a slight affectation of unconsciousness that she was vexing him in the least, "you see I have decided to go, after all. How do you like my dress? 1 dressed early on purpose for you to see it."

Mr. Alison had stopped short as she spoke, with hands uplifted. "Maud," he said in a vexed vmy, "what does this mean?" "Have you forgotten so quick?" she answered lightly. "It is the Wilvertons' ball, you know. I told you this morning Mrs. Leighton had offered to call for me and bring mo home again. Don't you remember?" "I remember something you seem to have forgotteu," was the cold reply "that Is that I did not and do not wast jrou bo

go to this ball. Those Wilvertons are not fit people for you to associate with of that I am certain. The town is full of rumors against them, and I predict that you will Gnd but few decent people there to-night." "What nonsense you aro talking!" she Baid, genuinely surprised now. "Why, I know there are plenty of the best people going. I havo scarcely met one who has declined the invitation." "That maybe," was the quiet reply, "but many men who have heard as much and more than I have will change their minds to-night, and keep d.oniseives and their families away. Those who do go will be sorry for it, I am very sure." "What terrible things havo you heard, I should like to know?" she asked, half convinced. "Only rumors, I own," he answered,"but they are bad enough. 'There wns never so mnch smoke without a little fire. 1"

Mrs. Alison interrupted him with blazing eyes. "Humors, indeed! You need say no more. I do not believe one word of it at all, and I shall go. That is decided." "But, Maud" "I don't wish to hear any more. am going."

And the went—went with Mrs. Leighton when she called for her—went with smiling face aud an angry, rebellious heart.

Tho Wilvertons greeted her with effusion. But there were very few of her set present sotnehovr the atmosphere seemed a different one from what she had been acrustomed to. Thero were a number of strangers present, ladies and gentlemeu. The former did not impress her favorably, and thelatter seemed rather demonstrative in their devotions to the fairer sex. Mr. Wilverton made her uncomfortable, moreover, with his persistent attentions, and altogether she was not sorry when Mrs. Leighton proposed returning home. They went early, and most of their particular set followed in their wake—those, at least, who had not gone before.

Very little conversation passed between Mr. and Mrs. Alison that night—very little for some days thereafter. Ho considered himself justly agrieved, and was indignant accordingly. She felt herself in the wrong, was too proud to own it, and was miserable in consequence.

Meanwhile the whispers against the Wilvertons increased in number and importance. It began to be generally conceded that there was something wrong about them and people who had taken them up on trust wero gradually dropping their acquaintance. Mrs. Alison, however, prided herself on being ro summer friend, and her intimacy with the Wilvertons seemed in no wise diminished seemed, I say, for she was growing to dislike them both, as she saw more and more of them. Mrs. WUverton's dashing ways seemed coaroe now, and no words could tell how she was growing to loathe the man who grew more bold and outspoken in his admiration of her each day.

But the end was very near. Mr. Alison came up to dinner one evening in a half subdued tremor of excitement. "Maud, dear, I have news for yon," he said, striving to speak calmly, but failing signally in the attempt.

Mrs. Alison looked up a little surprised at the "dear" which had fallen from his lips but rarely since that unfortunate ball, but, truth to tell, rather glad to bear it again. "What is it?" "It's about the Wilvertpiis. You see," he went on hurriedly, "there's been, as you know, a great deal of talk about themlately*—more, perhaps, than you are aware of—and people haven't scrupled to call them adventurers, if'ihd^'swi'ndlers, It seems that they are even%lwtee than that." "What?" cried Mi's. Alisbri sharply. "Criminals! At least the man is. He was arrested this morning by a detective from London, who has been ou his track for some time. His very boldness in coming here and launching out in the style he has, under an assumed name, and with all the appearance of great wealth, had thrown tho police off the scent for a little while, but they havo got him now, and he's safe foratwenty years' term at Portland island, at least."

What has he done?" asked Mrs. Al&on. "Perhaps you will recognise his real name—it is Willis" "The notorious bank robber?" "Tho same."

Mrs. Alison did not speak for many minutes. Then she remembered that she had been, or had tried to be, a friend to Mrs. Wilv«i.o!i. Sh3 could not desert her now that so terrible a sorrow had fallen upon her. "Will you ins tho hell for Lucy?" she said to her husband very quietly. "I waut my bonnet and shawl. I am going to see Mrs. Wilverton. She ought not to be left to bear this trouble alone, aud I know of no one who will go to her now."

Mr. Aljson stared, amazed. Even he had never realized half the real nobility that despite her faults was inherent in his wife's nature. Sue had risen now, and was standing very pale aud still by tbe table. He went to her and' put his arms around her and drew her head down to his breast. "My noble Maud," was all he said.

She clung to him sobbing. "Oh. Fred, you do forgive me for treating you so badly the other night?" she pleaded. "I'm so sorry now." "I need forgiveness, too, darling, for having been sullefi," he answered earnestly, "and we will, both forget and forgive. Shall it not be so?"

She lifted her face and kissed liini softly. "And poor Mrs. Wilverton, Fred! Will you not go with me to see her? I do not like her really, though I have tried to, but I cannot leave her to bear this alone."

Mr. Alison held his wife in a closc clagp. "I had not told you all, dear," he said. "There is no Mrs. Wilverton, or Willis, as her name would be if she had any right to bear the name of the man she has lived with all these months, and who, if reports say true, ruined himself aud committed the robbery to gratify her extravagant demandsJ' "Fred!" and Mrs. Alison*s face grew very pale, "you don't mean that she" "Waa not his wife," he answered sternly.

It was a severe lesson, not only to M™, Alison, but to the people of Bolton who had admitted these persons into their so4efcy without question, simply because of the lavish display of wealth tbey made, and it is safe to say a thoroughly effectual one.

Moreover, there are few differences of opinion between Mr. and Mrs. Alison nowadays. She is more willing to take his opinion of people as a correct one, and he has learned his wife's heart too well not to trust her motives always, if he Boiiiotimes doubts her judgment.—New York World.

Two men jumped upon the front platform of a Broadway ear the other night. At the same moment an agile little newsboy sprang upon the raurend. Quietly he wormed his way through the maze of passongers, drew back the slide in the front door, tapped upon the glass and received two nickols tn his outstretched palm.

Tho passengers who had been mulcted, as is usual with patrons of the front platform, never looked behind tlwm to see who was receiving their money.

Tho newsboy turned around, sold a paper or two, went out the front door and swung himself off tho car just as tho conductor camo up nnd viciously jerked back the change slide. Nobody paid any attention to him. "Fares, please," ho shouted as he opeued the door.

Nobody moved except to stare blankly at )he conductor, and then gaze blankly at tach other. "Jim," said the fare collector to tho driver, "didn't you signal me that there were two fares here?"

"Yes thero they are!" The men pretested that they had paid. For a moment things looked very squally, Then a man remarked that ho had seen a newsboy get off the car a moment before, and suggested that perhaps he had stolen the money. "What sort of a looking boy was he?" Inquired the conductor.

He was described. "That's him, confound him!" exclaimed the conductor angrily. "He's done the trick on me before, but ho won't do it again."

It is said that tliis urchin regularly tapa the Broadway and other car lines in a similar fashion.—New York Herald.

Courting on a Street Car.

A trim looking young womau got aboard I an up town surface car a night or two ago. The car was by no means filled, but she didn't try to get a seat, and she didn't evgn I enter the door, but stood on the rear p&t--forrn and leaned against the rail. It was a. chilly night, and she and the conductor had the platform to themselves. The other passongers looked out in some surprise at the sight, and beheld the pair enter into I conversation. That it was not their first meeting by any means was as evident as anything well could be. They talked long and earnestly, and as block after block'was I traveled they got closer and closer to one another. There is always more or less jolt* ing about a street car's movements, and pretty soon the young woman was bracing herself against tho brake handle. Then in a minute or two the conductor was seen to turn tho handle so that it would give her abetter support.

His arm moved with the iron, r.v.d to the njost near sighted man in the car it was very quickly apparent that the arm was doing avast deal more in the way of a support than fell t« the lot of the brake handle, Tho car meanwhile was rapidly approaching the street at which one of the passongers desired to alight. He hadn't it in his heart to disturb the pair, and so he started to leave the car by the front door. The driver looked at him with a wink and then spoke, as if to the world in general and nobody iu particular: "Jack's in luck," he said. "Pretty girl he's got, and a good one. It looks Queer to see her out there with him, but it's about her only chance to see him with the hours we have —and they've been married only a month." —New York Times.

A Mcxicau Centaur.

According to an Arkansas journal Jr. Collius, of Little Kiver county, that state, killed a most remarkable quadruped near his place in the spring of 1877. From tho time of tho war up until the year named several persons claimed to have frequently seen an animal in the form of a large red deer, with the head and neck of a man. On the day that the animal was killed Br. Collins' wife and a negro girl were going along an unused path when they saw the queer creature peering atthem "through the underbrush. They made haste and informed the doctor what had occurred. He took his gun aud started in search of the beast, which he soon overtook and shot.

Closer inspection showed that the head, instead of being that of a man, more nearly resembled that of a baboon. Its eyes were large and very prominently set to the sides of its head. A long fringe of brown beard covered the chin and neck. Dr. Collins says that when he came up with the creature nnd leveled his gun at it, it seemed to be aware of its great danger, tho large eyes melting into tears as it saw the utter hopelessness of the case.

When shot it uttered a heart rending scream and leaped high in the air, expiring with awful groans which closely resembled those of a man in distress. It is generally believed that the creature was a species of the Mexican centaur, a semi-legend-ary creature of the post conqucst era.

Bishop Talbot told a story in Boston the other day showing that at least one Harvard man didn't leave his wits behind him when he left college. The bishop, it seems, arrived one day iu a small mining towpxin his diocese—Wyoming where ho had promised to hold a service. Walking np the street ho noticed some green handbills) flying about, took one up and read as fol-' lows: "Bishop Talbot preaches to-night at

Let him have a big crowd. Please leave your guns with the usher." The bishop was not easily scared, but thought tho last senteuee a little odd. On inquiry ho learned that one of tho young men in townt a Harvard man, by the way, who knew the bishop, and wanted to raise a good crowd to greet him, had issued tho handbills, knowing that many who would not come to hear a bishop preach would come at a hint of a disturbance of any kind. —New York World, '»i

To Protect the Feet.

A man compelled to stand or walk all day ou a bard floor or pavement is almost certain to have tender feet and sore ankles. The trouble is not so much -with the hardness of the floor as with the sudden jar experienced by the foot every time it is set down on the hard surface. If he will take a flat sheet of rubber and cut out two pieces just large enQUgh to fit ou thu inside of his shoe soles he will find immediate relief, for the rubber will break the jar when the heel strikes the floor aud savo foot and an kit from the strain to which faeth are subjected from a floor or hard jMRrement.—Interview in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.
