Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Should be used by Consumers in preference to any other Petroleum Oil. Ist. It is safe, having a fire test of never less than 125° Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment with acid! and alkalies as the last process. It is double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids and alkalies used in the manufacture- of all Petroleum Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. It .gives less trouble, because the Lamps require less freqpent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with less consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in quality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having" been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process ha«been adhered to from the beginning, without re gard to expense. DOWNE R' S KEROSENE TS THE ONLY BRAND That will givo entire satisfaction in the Anucapnlc Lamp. j. "&' J. DICKEY, , . QUEEN-STREET. TT E B 0 S ENE LAMPS, ,/",,; FROM in.

Sewing Machines. Q E WIN Gr MACH INBS k3 ma.de by the BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine the best parts of the best Machines (avoiding thf-ir defects) with some RECKNT special IMPROVE MENTS, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult mc, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than the representation of various dealers Many people convinced of the advantage to be derived from using a Machine for needlework do not vet possess one because among so many they are unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. Aa a practical man and an Engineer allow me to point out fonie of the advantages of these Machines. Thevwtll do all that any other Machine will, and do it bcltw, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cordincr, Binding, Braiding, Stitching, &c, &c , with n perfect stitch alike nn both sides. They are fitted with an improved BEEAK, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and is the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines let out on hire,"the payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex change. Repairs properly done.
