From answers to questions asked of the treasurers of the local municipalities in the county. and from information received from the oflcials of the charitable societies in Lindsey which receive public funds to assist themiu carryingon their work of relief, the following table has been compiled. covering the year 1889. Have we succeeded? We think we have, as regards the latter at all events. It takes time to work up a large business, and we do not claim to have sold all the Furniture that left this town during the past twelve months, but we do think we are well within the facts when we say we disposed of the major portion.

Mr. Bowman, the county clerk and treasurer. who is inspector of the house of refuge, and the keeper of the house. were also interviewed. The house of refuge is situated close to the town; part of the farm be within the corporation limits. The bull ing is a brick one. and the general dimensions of the house are 130 feet by 52 feet. with back premises 70 feet by so feel. The main part of the building contains three stories and a basement. Itisheated b ‘afeam and is ireely supplied with water In the town system. Apartments ereorovlded for the keeper and his family in the centre of the building. and these form a division between the men and women's wards. The general accommodation for the inmates moslsts of kitchen. men and women’s dining rooms. day-rooms for the separate sexes. and sleeping rooms. None of the lat or contain more than six beds. The onjectionable feature in the errengemsnts. in the keepers cpm. are the basement. kitchen and dining rooms. There are 125 acres in the farm and there sible, protected from dust and bad weather. As any part becomes worn or broken it should be at once repaired or replaced. Apply the same reasoning to your Watch. remembering always that its size and the minuteness and delicacy of its parts make greater care necessary. The Watch. too. must go continually and with regularity, otherwise its chief purpose is not fulfilled. The average man lets his Watch an unat tended as long as it will run. and when at last it will run no longer he takes it to the “doctor” and is surprised to learn that it has sustained considerable damage. A llittls common sense (of which he has plenty to apply to larger objects) will show him that his neglect has had its natural re- sult. Like all other machines. Watches 863 broken, worn and injured in the course of time; but with care much trouble and an- noyance may be prevented. and a seed Watch will last a lifetime. Manypersons suppose a Watch requires no attention when new. but only when it becomes old and nearly worn out.
