SHINGLES.

How They Are MairalSactared. [Letter from East Saginaw, Mich.] The oldest, brashest logs are selected for shingles, provided always they are not sound. If they are sound they will make lumber; if they are doty, wormeaten, fire-burnt and disreputable generally, they are worked up into shingles. The prime consideration in shingle timber is to get wood that is sound and brash. It must be sound to make a tight roof, and it must be old and brash to prevent warping. A log may be doty in places, and even hollow, and yet have considerable good timber in it suitable for shingles. The logs selected, they are “run in” and sawed into “bolts” sixteen inches long by a cross-cut saw worked by steam power. These bolts are then placed on end and pushed against a large circular saw in motion, and the good parts cut out in the most-economical shape, as the operator judges of it by looking at the end. The refuse goes to the furnaceroom, and the select blocks are carried to the shingle-machines at the other end of the room, where they are set on end in a sort of vise, and giggle rapidly back and forth against a circular saw, the block being thrown out at the top and bottom, alternately, by an eccentric movement, for the butt and top of the shingle, at the same time it is moved back to the saw, each movement making a shingle. Of course, these shingles are of all widths, and some taper in width; some have knots and shakes and doty strips through them, and sometimes these defects run parallel with the sides of the shingle, and sometimes they do not. Sitting near the man who operates the block from which the shingles are made is the “joiner,” a man who picks up the shingles nimbly and holds their edges an instant against a planer that runs so rapidly it appears to be standing still, and then tosses them where they belong. All perfect shingles—that is, shingles of sound, unblemished wood, and with parallel edges and square ends, no difference whether they are wide or narrow, are pitched into one hopper and go below to the “binder.” These are “A*l.” Shingles tljat are perfect in every respect except that they have small soundknots in the upper half, are pitched into another hopper or chute and go below to another “binder.” These are “A*.” Shingles that are pei-fect in every respect except that the butt is hot on a right angle with the sides, are pitched into another* chute and go below to .'a boy them on a gauge anti pushes. Xllem- against a saw, by which they axe squared; afjer which they are thrown oh a* ‘conveyer and go to the binder of “X*l” shingles. Shingles that have a doty streak or crack or knot thp middle, are jointed and pitched over the planer to a man who holds them against a circular saw until they ard ripped up and these defects , cut out. Then, if this operation leaves , the sides and butts at right angles, they are sent below to, the binder, but if these defects run at an angle, the butts must be squared, and they are sent down for that purpose first. Shingles that are “feather edged,” knotty, doty, shaky and incapable of being made over into anything good, are sent down a chute and come out in bundles, by a strange travesty on language marked “No. 1.”

The Presidency.

Only nine of the thirty-eight States have furnished the country with Presidents. These States are the following, and the length of time the several States have held the office is also indicated: StT’ee. Yea’s. Virginia S 6 Massachusetts 8 Tennessee 16 New York. . 10l(j Ohio 4& Louisiana 1 New Hampshire.-. 4 Pennsylvania 4 Illinois 12 Total from 1789 to 1885 96 In the seventy-two years prior to the civil war the South possessed the Presidency for forty-nine years. The extraordinary contributions of Virginia to the Presidency were due, not at all to her location, but to the unusual relations of her strongmen to the Government during the period of the Revolution and the settlement of the constitution. Virginia has furnished no President since Monroe went out in 1824, unless we count the accidental service of John Tyler, whose selection as a Whig candidate for Vice President in 1840 was the result of an intrigue. Tennessee and Illinois stand next to Virginia. The sixteen ’years during which a Tennessee man has occupied the White House inthttde the eight years of Andrew Jackson, who would have been just as strong a candidate if he been born in Delaware or Rhode Island. They include also the four years of Andrew Johnson, who was not elected to the office of President. Of the two Presidents from Illinois, Lincoln was not nominated because he hailed from a State it was important to carry; and Grant, at the time of his candidacy, was regarded more as a citizen of the United States at large than as a son of Illinois.— Utica, Herald.

Satan Tempted Her.

Little Mabel and her mother were boarding during the summer on a farm. About the house were several currant bushes loaded with fruit, of which Mabel was excessively fond, and, despite her mother’s repeated injunctions, she would eat the currants until they made her sick. One day her mother caught her in flagrante delictu, and proceeded to try the effects of moral suasion. “Why do you persist, my child,” she asked, “in doing what I have so often forbidden?” “Satan tempts me* mamma,” replied her precocious offspring, “and I can’t help it.” “Well,” said the mother, “when he tempts you again you must say to him, ‘Get thee behind me, Satan,’ and he will leave you alone.” The next day Mabel’s mother again discovered the little girl in the bushes, and, hastening to her, began to rebuke her for her repeated disobedience. “Mabel.” said she to the startled child, “didn’t I tell you yesterday to say to Satan, ‘Get thee behind me?’” ’“Yes, mamma,”

responded Mabel, “and I did, and as soon as I said it Satan got behind me and pushed me right in!”

Improving a Style.

“I like to get some law-suits on a gang of young fellers,” he replied as the Chief of Police asked him what was wanted. “What do you mean?” “Vhell, I vhas shwindled und made some fools of. Vhen I tinks it all oaf er I am so madt dot I clean out my own saloon mit a glub.” “Do you want to enter a complaint?” “Vhell, I should remarks! I like to enter oufer forty complaints if I has a shance.” “Make your statement.” “Vhell, I keep a saloon on street You may have seen dot some Aidermans come to my place und vhas treated shust like Princes?” “Goon.” “It vhas Saturday eafnings. I vhas all alone. By and by some loafer comes in, but he vhants noddings. Pooty queek I has six or seven shust like like him. Ndpody vhants no beer nor pool nor dominoes, und I vhas madt!” “I am following you.” “Vhell, by and by I asks if dot crowd expects me to pay rent mit such customers, und one loafer he says: ‘Vhell, vhy doan’ you sell beer by der new game?’ So he tells me dot der new game vhas for all der gang to take a drink, und den I vhas to call in der dog from der back yard. Whichever loafer dot dog shmells of-first must pay for-all.” “Quite funny.” “Itvhas, eh ? I doan’ see it. Sometimes I vhas tickled, but not now. All der loafers said it vhas shust like dey does in New York und Boston, und I goes after der dog. ” “And he didn’t smell any of them ?” “No! But vhy? Because, vhile I vhas gone after him all dose loafers shlip avhay like grease! If dot vhas der New York und Boston vhay I vhas a fool!” “You can’t do anything,” said the chief. “Can’t I get some lawsuit?” “No.” “Can’t I has some loafers sent mit der w'ork-house ?” “No.” “Must I put up mit such shwindles like dot ?” “You must look out for them.” “Now I vhas madt like a wet hen!” exclaimed the caller, as he rose up. “I tell yod s6metings, an’ doan’ you forgot all about it! I keep my dog pehind der bar! By to-morrow some loafer yome in und vhaptp to know if.l sell beer by der New York &nd Boston thay. I let dot dog loose mit a shmile all oafer me, und vhen he shtops smelling of dot loafer you may send some boleecemens to pick up der pieces! If a dog in der back yard vhas New York and Boston style, I improve on it mit some Detroit style of a dog pehind der bar!”-—De-troit Free Presa.

Where the Best Society Reigns.

After all, in a city of a million and a half of people, what is society? This great center abounds in comfortable and happy homes,' where respectable men with money enough for all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life live happily, charmingly, inconspicuously. There are thousands of houses here to support which from SIO,OOO to $20,000 a year are none too much, in which reside merchants, brokers, editors, lawyers. There are also very many magnificent residences, better called palaces, in which live honest and intelligent people, who live reputable and domestic lives, spending from $50,000 to $150,000 a year, and there are others equally magnificent, in which live schemers, blackguards, liars and thieves, who, having fattened upon the misfortunes of their fellows, flaunt their wealth offensively in the faces of their poorer, but better, fel-low-citizens. Outside of these are hundreds of thousands of people who live quietly, whb are never seen in public places, who are modest in their ambitions, temperate in their living, church-goers, domestic, quiet, home people.—-Veto York letter.

The Saratoga Dude.

“Yes,” said the Saratoga dude, “I do wear corsets, they alone can make the tout ensemble oi a figure, malie or female, perfect, as ignorant nature failed in doing. I must admit that my tout ensemble is perfect,” he added, with ,a futile attempt at concealing the vanity which oozed out from every pore. As he mounted the tally-ho coach, and, taking the most conspicuous place on top, blew the horn himself as it drove through the streets, the village admirers to whom he had addressed his last remarks, exclaimed: “Do hear that, now; that’s his toot horn symbol he was talking about. Don’t it make a bully noise ? He’s right, it is perfect. Though I don’t see how the corsets help it along.” — Cor. Washington Star. A stand fell down with a crash, A number of men it did mash, But the entire ten Were soon well again— St. Jacobs Oil cured every gash. A baker who lives in Duluth, Went crazy one night with a tooth, He rubbed the gum boil, With St. Jacobs Oil, It cured him, and this is the truth.

Too Late.

A New York broker who reached a village in Ohio the other evening was interviewed, soon after placing his name on the register, by a farmer, who said: “I just wish you had arrived here this afternoon ?” “Any excitement?” replied the broker. “Well, I should say so. My son Daniel was convicted of stealing seven sheep, and has been held to the higher court. You ought to have been here!” “Why?” “Why; I’d have had you on the jury, and you could have cleared Daniel sick as grease. Our folks here don’t look at such things as you New Yorkers do.”— Wall Street News. Huntsville, Ala—Dr. J. T. Ridley says: “Brown’s Iron Bitters is a good appetiser and merits attention from sufferers. ’

The Mistress of a Famfly.

The house-mother! What a beautiful, comprehensive word itfis! How suggestive of all that is wise and kindly, comfortable and good! Surely, whether the lot comes to her naturally, in the happy gradations of wife-hood and mother-hood, or as the maiden mistress of an adopted family, or —as one could find many instances —when the possession of a large fortune received or earned —gives her, with all the cares and duties, many of the advantages of matron-hood every such woman must acknowledge that it is a solemn as well as a happy thing to be the mistress of a family.

People Grow Bilious

Scarcely less often from imprudence in diet, and failure to avoid other causes which aggravate a natural tendency to biliousness, than from the use of ill-chosen remedies. The violent cathartics injure the bowels by weakening them, but have no specific action upon the liver. The aperient operation of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is widely different from the abrupt effect of drastic purgatives, half triturated blue pill, and potent but injurious calbmeL It initiates a natural and healthful change in the habit of body, stimulates the liver to renewed activity in the performances of its bile-secreting function, promotes digestion, and manifests its efficiency by the removal of the unpleasant sensations, yellowness of the skin, nausea and furred tongue which accompany liver disorder. Fever and ague and bilious remittent fever, which are always attsnded with chronic disorder of the biliary organ, are prevented and relieved by it, and it is a medicine of standard excellence in cases of rheumatism, Kidney and bladder troubles and debility. The man who hanged himself did it of his own free will and a cord. Mabton, Mass.—Dr. N. 8. Ruggles says: “I recommend Brown’s Iron Bitters as a valued tonic for enriching the blood and removing all dyspeptic symptoms It does not hurt the To get the cents of the meeting it is only necessary to pass around the hat. If you have failed to receive benefit from other preparations, try Hood's Sarsaparilla; it’s the strongest, the purest, the best, the cheapest.

HUMORS.

The animal fluids of the body, when poorly nourished, become vitiated and cause eruptions to appear on the skin. They are objectionable from their disfigurement, and vary in character from a constant, uneasy sensation to a positive distress and severe pain. Hood’s Sarsaparilla corrects the derangement of the functions, enriches the fluids, purifies the blood, and changes the diseased condition to one of health and vigor. Pimples. Halfobd Flynn, of New York, had so many pimples and blotches on his face that he was ashamed. He tried various remedies without effect. Hood’s Sarsaparilla purified his blood, and all blemishes disappeared. llingworm. My brother is a victim to a humor which brings ringworms all over his face. He is, using Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and already is so much benefited that his eyes are no longer affected. He will continue its use till he feels fully cured.—L. E. Howard, Temple, N. H. Klieuin. My little boy was so badly afflicted with a humor that we had to mitten his hands to keep him from rubbing the sores, which itched and discharged a watery matter. Before he had finished one bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla the sores were healed.—L. J. Clement, Merchant, Warner, N. H. Hoo<Vs Sarsaparilla. Sold by Druggists. *1; six for $5. Prepared only by C. I.

Another Life Saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: Early last winter my daughter was attacked with a severe cold, which settled on her lumtH. We tried several medicines, none of which seemeWo do her any good, but she continued to get worse, and finally raised large amounts of blood from her lungs. We called in a family physician, but he failed to do her any good. We then called in a physician, a most skillful professor in one of our colleges; he said that she could not get well. At this time a friend who had.been cured by Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs advised me to give it a trial. We then got a bottle, and before she had used it all up she began to improve, and by the use of three bottles she was entirely cured.

"LOOK OUT FOR THE ENGINE.

I am a locomotive engineer,, and have been for twenty yeara, and am now running on tike Maine Central Bailroad. Life on an engine, aa all engineers know, is very trying to health and strength. The continual jar of the engine and strain on our long trips all tend to weaken the kidneys and urinary organs. In addition to thia, ten yean ago I met with a severs accident, and I was taken from under my engine with severe internal injuries, which gave me great pain. X was laid up for six months, and suffered more than I can describe and more than I wish to suffer again. I resumed work, but my kidneys began to disturb me. and my nervous system seemed to be out of order. I could not sleep, as my water demanded such constant attention that I was kept awake a great part of the night; to urinate caused severe pains. I employed the best medical skill in Portland and elsewhere, but continued to grow worse. I was persuaded to try Hunt's Bemedy, aa I found that many of my friends in Portland had used it with great success, yet I had no faith that it would reach my case. However, I sent for a half dozen bottles at one of the drug stores in Portland, and from the use of the first bottle found a great relief. My water was much better, and the pain in the back and limbs greatly relieved. I continued its use until I had used ten bottles in all, and it has been to me a wonderful blessing, and I have deemed it a duty and privilege to recommend it to those troubled in a similar manner; and you may publish this for the benefit of our railroad men and the public in general, as it has oom-

pletely cured me.

CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Alice E. Curtis, of Brunswick, Me., writes us on May 15,1883: “That she has suffered very much at frequent intervals with kidney disease, and the attacks were increasing in severity so steadily as to cause alarm. Her aunt, Mrs. N. M. Small, persuaded her to use Hunt’s Remedy, and after using several bottles Miss Curtis has been f.Ted from the severe aches and pains to which she had long l>een accustomed; and further says that Hunt’s Remedy never tails to relieve the severe pains in the side and intense backache, and Miss C. pronounces it a real blessing so woman for all kidnqy diseases, and she cordially recommends it for the many ills and’pains peculiar to women.”
