How to Purchase a Clothes Whinger.— In pur- 
chasing a clothes wrtuger-we prefer one with cog-wheels, 
as they greatly relieve tbc rubber rolls from strain that 
would otherwise occur, and add much to the durability 
of the machine. The next point is to see that the cog- 
wheels are £0 arranged as not to fly apart when a large 
1 is n ..- - 1 between the rollers. It matters not 
whether ijhc cog-whoola are onoucend or both ends of 
the shaft : if large articles disconnect them, they are en- 
tirely useless. This is very important, for as the larger 
the article the greater the strain ; therefore, if the 
cog-wheels separate so as to disconnect, they are of 
no service when most needed. We have taken gome 
pains to examine the various wringers, and much prefer 
the " Universal," as lately improved, because it has long 
and strong gears (Howell's Patent Double Gear), and is 
the only wringer with " patent stop " for preventing tbe 
cog-wheels from separating so far as to lose their power. 
— [Xt'C Enghttid Farmer. 
Having used for many mouths the kind of wringer 
named above, we fully endorse all that is said of it by our 
New England cotemporary.— Editors of Scientific Amer- 
ican.

strength and durability are considered, is the Tin-

SOMETHING NEW 
FROM WALTHAM, 
A BOY'S WATCH 
That Will Suit Every One. 
This Watch, which is of smaller size than the other Wal- 
thara Watches, has just heen introduced, and, although called 
the Boy's Watch, on account of its size, is destined to have 
a wide and universal sale. It is finely Ouiehed, ut substan- 
tial construction, and contains all the recent improvements. 
Its low price and neat appearance will commend it to a large 
class of persons who have been deterred from purchasing 
Waltham Watches heretofore, on account of their lnrgesize. 
Our Illustrated Trice list describes this, and all other Wal- 
tham Watches, in detail, gives weight and quality of Bue 
cases, with prices of each, and explains our plan of sending 
watches to all parts ol the country, without risk to the pur- 
chaser. 
Send for tin- riire-list, and state that vou saw this notice

ATTENTION IS CALLED TO OCR 
LARGE STOCK OF 
WALTHAM 
WATCHES, 
And we submit the following reasons why they should be 
preferred to any other American Watches : 
In the first place, the Waltham Company is the oldest, an 1 
has had fourfold the experience of any others engaged la 
the business in the United States. 
Iu the second place, the machinery in use by the Waltham 
Company Is far mure perfect and varied, and as a result, tlie 
Watches are of far higher grade and of greater variety, and 
are placed Iu the market at much lower prices than any 
others, quality and style fully considered. 
In the third place, the Waltham Watch is now a staple 
article, its reputation fuMy established, and, as a conse- 
quence, is sold at less profit than any others in the market.
