AB consumers of steel the railroads in thfe vicinity of t Pittsburgh lead the world. During the last three months 170 miles of ne^ steel rails averaging ninety pounds tit the yard have been put down or distributed within thirty miles of the center of the city, says the Pitts­ burgh Dispatch. There are 1,760 yards in a mile, which would mean 299,300 yards for oae line of rails in 170 miles, or 26,928,000 pounds, or say 58,856,000 pounds for both lines of rails, or 269,283 tons of steel rails needed in one year for Pittsburg roads, 90 per cent of which was for re­ newals on old lines. There is somewhat of a mystery re­ garding where the steel worn out on a big road goes to. It is ground down almost to imperceptible dust by the con­ stant friction of the grinding wheels, and this friction is 45 per cent greater on curves than on straight stretches of track. The wear is also much greater on ascending grades on a straight track than on a descending grade. On curves the wear is mostly lateral or horizontal, while on straight track it Is perpendicular, with a slight incline tion toward the inside of the rail next to the flanges of the wheel. The millions of tons of steel ground down to dust by the wheels of trains in this country are lost. It cannot be re­ gained for scrap, because it settles down into the ballast, is swept away by the rush of air caused by the swiftly moving cars, and, like the star dust which falls tipon the ocean, it is lost forever. In time as civilization and the wheels of civilization move on, the railroads of the chief steam highways, as well as part of the adjoining ground, will becopie thor­ oughly impregnated with steel and iron dust from the grinding up of rails and wheels, because, it must be remembered that the wheels grind the rails and the rails grind the wheels, and this con­ stant shower of iron and steel is accum­ ulating along our roads at a rapid rate. Making Olive Oil. Olive oil making i« a. simple process; next pressed the same as in cider-mak­ ing. The first expression is what is known as the "virgin" oil; the lower grades follow in succession. There are at least a dozen oil mills in the state of California. A considerable part of the olive oil imported is adulterated by cotton seed and other oils, but now with the splen­ did olive oil made in California there should be no difficulty in getting the pure article in any part of the United States. It is a mistake to believe, how­ ever, that absolutely pure olive oil made in southern Europe cannot be purchased here. It is expensive, but it can be bought; but the ordinary olive oil bought of grocers is apt to be adul­ terated if not entirely fictitious. Large quantities of olives are packed in Cali­ fornia and shipped i» bottles or small barrels. the quality depends on the care exer­ cised from the picking of the fruit through every stage of manufacture until it is put into bottles and corked. About 8i pounds of olives are required to a large bottle of oil. The fruit is gathered later in the sea­ son than the other crops and in the best orchards the olives are plucked one by ope from the branches and not shaken from the trees or allowed to drop. Special ladders mounted on wheels are run among the branches of the trees and the pickers ascend the ladders and pluck the olives, which they drop into a special made device, usually of tin, strapped about the waist, and which is adapted to hold a considerable amount of fruit, says the Scientific American. , The olives must not be allowed to stand in heaps, in sacks or any sort of package long enough to heat throi®, otherwise the oil will become musty and rancid. A-bsolute cleanliness is required in every step of the process. The olives are first dried, during which process they loose about half their weight; they are then crushed by a heavy stone rolling over them, and are Olives. The olive is one of the oldest-known fruits. It is noted by Pliny and is fre­ quently mentioned in the bible, where it forms the basis of many parables and figues of speech. In Grecian mythology the olive tree occupies an important place and to-day the "olive branch'"' is the world symbol for peace, says the Scientific American. The olive tree itself is rather melan* choly in appearance, but the eye soon becomes accustomed to the tone which the olive trees give to the landscape, and in nearly all of the Mediterranean coun­ tries they are found almost everywhere. The kernel of the olive requires about two years to germinate naturally, but it is found by mixing clay and other in­ gredients nature's processes can be hast­ ened so that it will germinate the same year. The trees attain great age and a large olive tree near Nice is believed to be 1,000 years old and is said to have yielded 500 pounds of oil in a single year. In general the olive will flourish wherever the vine can be cultured for wine-growing purposes. It will bear a temperature below 21 or 22 degrees Fahr­ enheit, and in Europe it cannot be grown above 46 degrees latitude. Tfye young plants and fruit are very delif-at* K«t The tive itself is quite tough. Natural­ ly, in Italy, where the olive forms one of the principal agricultural products and contributes so largely to the wealth of the country, the trees are cultivated with the greatest care. Again a Change. E. E. Vail, who three weeks ago leased the Capron Sentinel, announces in the last issue of his paper that he has pur­ chased the plant from the Mortgagees, Messrs. Webster & Cowan. Mr. Hardy who was the former publisher of the paper will engage in some other line of business. The Sentinel will be changed to that of magazine form and will be known hereafter as The Northern Light. We wish the new publisher suc­ cess. The wolf in the fable put on sheep's clothing beeause if he traveled on his own reputation he couldn't accomplish his purpose. Counterfeiters of De- Witt s Witch Hazel Salve couldn't sell their worthless salves on their merits, so they put them in^xes and wrappers like DeWitt's. Look out for them.

Turner and daughter, Clara, of Hebron, were visitors here Friday. John Wiederman accompanied his family as far as Chicago. . Theo. Mann passed through Sunday. We are glad to note his recovery. 7 A number of the officials connected with the new railroad looked over the line Friday. The following clipping taken from a copy of The Plaindealer dated Jan. 3, 1883, will show, how long we have waited for the road and the feeling concerning it at that time, over seventeen years ago: "The Chicago and Evanston railroad surveyors have been at work this week running a line for a road from Libertyville to Nippi- sing Point, via Hainesville. They are past the latter point. It is believed a road will be; built over this line to Lake Geneva or Madison, Wis., and be Controlled by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul roa*1. Parties from Lake County inform ns that a party o^ surveyors are now at work in the vicinity^ of Hainesville, in Lake County. Our faith in that road has been sorely tried for more than twenty years, and now--but wait till our ears actually hear the whistle!" The S. S. convention to be held in the M. E. church at Spring Grove Aug. 13," has arranged the following program: Anthem. Home choir Prayer . ^ S<>ng S. S. children Song Mrs. JSsta leader Opening Talk ^ Geo.

If you have a baby in the house you will wish to know the best way to check any unusual looseness of the bowels, or diarrhoea so common in small children. O. P. M. Holliday, of Deming, Ind., who has an eleven months old child, says: "Through the months of June and July our baby was teething and took a running off of the bowels and and sickness of the stomach. His bow­ els would move from five to eight times a day. I had a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house and gave him four drops in a teaspoonful of water and he got better at once." For sale by Julia A. Story ' Affects Rural delivery. Postmaster-General Smith has issued the following order applying to the rural free delivery service in the country: "Beginning August 1 the drop letter, or 1-cent rate of postage will not apply within rural free delivery limits. The 2-cents per ounce rate will be exacted within such limits on all first-jlass mat­ ter except postal cards. "The introduction of rural free deliv­ ery will not increase or otherwise mod­ ify the present rate of postage on second- class matter. "The rural free delivery carriers will not bring to the post office mail matter collected by them which may be deliv­ ered on their routes before completing their trips. "Stamps on mail matter collected by rural free-delivery carriers, including those on matter (delivered en route as named above, will be canceled by them and reported to the postmaster who will derive the benefit of the cancellation if the office is fourth class. "Until suitable rubber canceling stamps can be supplied by the depart­ ment free-delivery carriers will cancel the stamps with the indelible pencils furnished them for use on registered letters." - A 20-Pound Baby can take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin with as much safety and beneficial re­ sults as an adult.

A lidy in Paris had visited four churches in one day, and on getting home she missed her umbrella. She immediately revisited all the four churches, and found her umbrella in the last one. When it was handed to her she said gratefully to the sexton, "The people at this church are much more honest than those at the othersl" REST, PEACEFULLY REST (Continued from page one.) By living well, and for each other, this life inay be indeed an inexpressible joy, calling for our deepest and pro- foundest gratitude. And we are to consider, that the most important concern of a man, in l'aith and hone of the future, and in humble trust of God's blessing, is to do good, and to communicate of the joys of existence, to se«k and to do for the best now, today, tomorrow, and al­ ways, and to be absorbed in this as the great purpose of our being. Each day, each hour, the ey#s of some of us are growing dim,and may God grant that as your souls sit dumb in the shadow^ of this great affliction, you may be blest in the diviner views of the heavenly wisdom that interprets life rightly, blest in the closer appreciation of the eternal love over you as your solace, blest in the more extended appre­ hension of every worthy spirit of truth and goodness, as the soul attains its deepest needs." A few thoughts from brother Straub's remarks are as follows; "The desire is at times expressed to be able to realize what the infant child realizes in its infantile mind, before the wider experience and larger thought have been reached. This brings us to note that each age and form of life in the human family, has somewhat of sense and affection the others have not. The love of father and mother for posterity probably are as persistant in the one as in the other. Brit there is au unlikeness. In the mother it is more insinuating and in detail. The function and office of motherhood is singular and without comparison, and is co-extensive with her being. It grows more pure and ardent with her advancing years. The Ichild of the second generation is loved?, and cared for as that of thb first, and that of the third is of no less loving interest. The body may be broken and the nerves in shreds, •without diminishing or iinparing this most majestic and divine of all natures, the mother nature. This may indicate what a mother in a family stands for who has * witnessed over several generations of family broods; and what is the sense of bereave­ ment when to her the last of earth is come. And further, these consider­ ations prompt the deepest respect and devotion to her wants in her declining, but greatest years." The following Hymn was sung in conclusion. Ifr* was also sung at the funeral of the dear husband last Decem­ ber, and became an especial favorite of the departed; she having had it copied and read to her. Hymn--"WE'LL NEVER SAY GOOD BYE." Yes the sorrow, pain and woe. That we ftnd whew e'er we go. Fill with bitter tears the weeping eyes, When we reach the parting strand, And we clasp the parting hand, And we sadly speak the last good bye. CHORUS. But we'll never say good bye over yonder 'Midst the glory of the Lord, In that house beyond the skies We will never, never say good bye, Father, mother, children dear, Whom w«Vo lmn.". • -v.,., ; v, " " Wait our coming in the bye and bye; What a meeting that will be, When each other's face we see And we'll never, never say good bye. A long procession followed the hal­ lowed remains of our loved one to its final resting place in Woodland oenietry. She was bnried beside her dearly be­ loved husband, in the same lot with her eldest sister, Mary Elizabeth, and hus­ band, George Albert Drury, and her grave was strewn with flowers by the little loving hands of her great-grand­ children. So the loved form of one of McHenry's noblest mothers has passed from mortal vision. In deep devotion we thank our heaven­ ly Father for her longhand useful life among us here on earth; so full of motherly love and kindly sympathies toward all who came within her notice that were sick or in distress. She was the mother of the neighborhood. How many of the younger generations her loving hands did wash, and soothe, and dress, for the fi rs ttiui e mfeheir lit tie A New Machine. There has been invented in German a small machine, which, it is claimed, will do for shorthand what the type­ writer has done for longhand--reduce it tp the level of an exact mechanical science. Shorthand machines have al­ ways been invented and some of them have fulfilled conditions imposed upon them, but the most of them wrote on a narrow paper tape like a printing-tele­ graph. The stenographer employs a paper roll equal in breadth to an ordinary shorthand book, the operator having to tap on six keys, as against the thirty or more arranged on the different type­ writers. To read stanotype the eye must learn a new style of type, based somewhat up­ on the Morse alphabet in telegraphy, in that it consi&ts of a combination of dots and dashes. ' The marks ol the six Keys, which can be struck simultaneously, can be com­ bined in sixty-three different ways, pro­ ducing an alphabet of sixty-three letters. CASTOR i A For Infants and Children.
