A Sonth Africa Diamond Ulna. From whatever direction one comes from the enrronnding plain, the moat prominent sight is the lofty range of sand mounds, rising up from ont the center of. the town, and overtopping everything. These are composed of earth from the original thirteen surface acres of the Kimberloy mine, and thrown up aronnd the edge of the gradu ally deepening pit, just as the Bnt on a smaller scale piles np a circular ridge aronnd its hole. By diamond " mine " in Africa, is meant a pipe of several acres superficial area and unknown depth, running straight down through stratified lATArn flf rIihIa "F.finli tiina ATI I tliivA . - - ... JUtl lli MUV. are only four, is filled in to the level of iub general nnnaoe 01 tne plain witn sand, tufa, and a diamond-bearing breo cia or soft rock. The Kimberley pipe or mine has now been excavated to a depth of about two hundred and fifty feet. Most of the streets of the town oonverge to it. We walk to the edge of rock which surrounds it, called the "reef," and before and beneath us extends an abyss a huge oval-shaped cauldron open full to the skies. Over its edge lies a sheer descent of two hundred and fifty feet; across it, from side to side, a stretch of a thousand feet, or a fifth of a mile. Coming even as one does from the life and stir of the town, the first look into the mine is a fascinating and bewildering one. Little by little the facts unfold and steal upon the attention. One talks to bis neighbor as to a deaf man, for a steady hum or roar fills the air, chiefly made up of human voices and the whir of buckets ascending and descending on their wire ropes. Ten thousand men are working below and around us, in the pit and around its edge. All is in plain sight, for there is no burrowing tinder ground. Far below, little black pigmy men so they seem in the distance are moving about, but not singly or at ran dom, for closer observation shows that they are working in groups, each group upon a certain well-defined square patch of solid earth, at which it is picking and delving, or walking to and fro over it, carrying little buckets of loosened soil. In their midst sits or stands a white overseer or the master himself. Spreading over the whole excavation or pit, cauldron, pot or basin, which ever conveys the clearest idea, like a spider's web on a dewy morning, run innumerable white threads, so they seem as they glisten in the sun. Follow one . such thread to our feet, and it will be found to be a shining wire tope, worn white with constant use. And here on the edge or brim, called, as we know, the "reef," we find a scene of life and labor even more animated than below. All-around, bnt chiefly on two oppo site sides, is erected a strong frame-work of timber called the " staging," estimat ed to have cost $250,000. It is built in three tiera, like a three-story house, and each tier is floored to afford standing room for laborers. Firmly set all along each tier of this staging are hundreds of wooden wheels, about four feet in diame ter, with a crank on each side, to be turned by four Kaffirs. The iron ropes run from every part of the circumfer ence, but differ greatly in length some extending vertically down the reef, some far out into the center of the mine, and others to varying intermediate distances, but each to its own claim. Such a rope is stretched from the bearings of each wheel on the staging to its correspond ing claim below, where it is made fast to a post sunk firmly in the ground. Thus a wheel, a wire rope and a "claim," be it only a sixteenth, are inseparable, and eqnal in number. On these wire ropes the "blue stuff" is hauled in buckets by aid of the windlass, up out of the mine. Scribner. Lightning Rods. During the summer, when thunder storms are most common, special atten tion should be paid, particularly in ex posed situations in country places, to the condition of the lightning-rods. The main stem of a copper lightning-conductor should never be less than four tenths of an inch in diameter; this di mension is not sufficient for a building more than eighty feet high. Galvanized iron may be used instead of copper, but then the diameter should be, at least, double that of a copper rod. A galvanized iron-rope conductor should never be leas than eight-tenths of an inch in diameter; a galvanized iron strip should be fonr inches wide and one-eighth of an inch thick. A lightning rod must be contin uous and unbroken from end to end. A rod need not be attached to a building by insulated fastenings; metal clamps may be safely employed, provided the rod be of good conducting capacity and otherwise effloient. Above, the rod must terminate in metal points, well projected into the air; there should be several of these points, and all perfectly sharp. Tbe bottom of the conduotor must be carried down into the moist earth and be oonneeted with it by a surfaoe-oontact of large extent. All large masses of metal in a building should be metallically con nected with the lightning-rod, except when they are liable to be occupied by people during a thunder-storm an iron balcony, for instance. In suoh cases it is better not to have the iron connected with the conduotor, for there is some risk of persons standing on the balcony furnishing a path for the lightning to the rod. The rods ought to be tested each year to make sure that the continuity is perfect, and the ground connection sat isfactory. New York Tribune. A Remarkable Cure. A remarkable care by blood trans fusion has been wrought in Boston. Cecilia Merkel, a child of seven years, was attacked first by diphtheria, 'next by reflex paralysis, and finally by san guinea purpurea, and her life was de spaired of. Her father, who is a physi cian, consented to have the experiment of blood transfusion tried. Blood was taken from the veins of a young man of eighteen, and injected with a syringe into the child's system. Subsequently the little one took oold and began cough ing, with a mucus rattle in her throat, so that the father was compelled to afford artificial respiration. He then took blood from the veins of his servant, a healthy girl of nineteen, and the effect of the transfusion was charming. The child fell into a peaceful sleep, and a re markable change came over her. When she awoke she asked for her playthings, and from that hour her improvement was rapid. Her father has made this remark to a Globe reporter: "There she was, growing gradually worse and worse, her nervous powers getting weak er and weaker. She was sinking, and was evidently beyond the reach of a'l human aid, and at one time life itself had almost fled. The respiration was not to be seen, her forehead icy oold, her body purplish, and the beating of the pulse could not be distinguished. Yes, sir, without doubt, it was the trans fusion of blood that restored my daugh ter." Narrow not your mind to your own selfishness, bat give it a broad field for your fellow-men to work in, TILLAGE IMPROTEHENTS. Extract rrsaa tha Reseat Aadraas By Tnt. Msrthrap, at Waaaataek, Casta There is a peculiar pleasure in the culture of trees a pleasure that never oloys, perfect, varying, growing with their growth. We watch them with pride, as year by year new beauties ap pear. - Like grateful children, trees bring rich returns and compensate a thousandfold for all the care and pains they oost; for a noble tree is one of the grandest and most beautiful products of Nature airy and delicate in its youth, luxuriant and majestic in its prime, ven erable and romantio in its old age. There is nothing more ennobling than the consciousness of doing something for future generations which, so far from its being ephemeral in its influ ence, shall prove a great benefaction in distant years. Tree planting is a very delightful way of perpetuating one's memory long after he has passed away, Even the poorest can in this way pro vide himself with a living monument grander than the loftiest shaft of chisel ed stone and more beautiful than any statue of storied marble or classic bronze a monument which will not only adorn t'ue walks of daily life, bnt continually suggest duty to the living, while it happily commemorates the past Such associations grow in interest from year to year and generation to generation. It is a matter of congratulation that more than fifty assooiations for village improvement have already been organ ized, which have done great good in cultivating publio spirit, improving social and intellectual life, and enhancing the value of real estate. These associa tions promote improvements and en courage tree-planting in the streets, sidewalks, roads, publio parks and buildings, the village green, the burial ground, and, most and best of all, pri vate grounds and dwellings; and, if only private taste, publio spirit, town pride can be duly enlisted, in co-operation i with the certainty of pecuniary profit, our streets and publio roads, our ceme teries, and especially our homes, beautiful, as they already are, might become far more beautiful and inviting. Now this work should go on until not a single school-house, dwelling or street is left without the simple and grand adornment of shade trees, and shrubbery of creeping vines, flowers and lawn. A wise foresight is shown in the results which have grown from our village improvement associa tion; for in this way the publio spirit of the people becomes organized, and efforts for improvement are not merely stimu lated, but conformed to some intelligent plan knowledge of plans and details for improvement, the cost of trees and shrubs, adaptation to soil and position may be secured, and wise concert of action and symmetry of effect and pre vent the helter-skelter planting and various mistakes of which so many illus trations are to be found. Our farmers and meohanios, our thrifty and thoughtful wives, are beginning to realize how easily and economically, and even without any cost in money, they can surround their homes with flowers and trees, and thns increase the value of the homestead and lift their home life to a higher plane. Every cottage is made more healthy and inviting by shrubs and shade trees, provided they do not stand near enough to shut out the sunlight; and yon who have these homes, adorned by this stately elm, or maple, or tulip you have all blessed the memory of those who planted them, it may be a century ago. In traveling some thousands of miles every year, my own experience has lad, me to look for kindness and culture among those people who cultivate the taste for arboriculture. In Switzerland they have ont of four hundred and eighty-five households four hundred and sixty-five householders. You can't match that even in favored America. The Swiss very early under stood that principle of John Adams, of Revolutionary fame, that the ownership of land is essential to individual thrift and dignity and national strength and prosperity. I say: Let us encourage our people to buy homes, to adorn their grounds. These outward adornments of the house are but examples of what you find in the higher attractions of its inner life, realizing the highest beauty iu the unwearied and delicate attentions of each to all. Let the sunlight of generous love illuminate our homes. It is a divine institution, the only earthly paradise, the best school for the Paradise of Hope above. The most loved spot on earth is the holy ground, consecrated by flowers, shrubs and trees, each tenderly associated with a mother's love and a father's care. Let Thanks giviLg gather the scattered family, and light the Christmas-tree for the children. Let the birthdays be duly observed and the marriage anniversaries enjoyed. The house should be the first and chief place to produce the love of flowers, of culti vating them; and thus produoe a love of the beautiful in Nature and art, and still more in character. We need more carefully to cultivate home affections and courtesies and the observation of the amenities of life. As flowers seem little things, so are the morning and evening salutations in the family. They seem little in themselves; but when fitly observed are mighty in their influence. As the sunbeam is composed of myriads of minute rays, so the home should be illumined and brightened by winning smiles, cordial greetings, loving looks, gentle words, sweet laughter, and name less little kindnesses. Such beauties of hand and heart, such amenities and af fections should be the sunshine of every home. They refresh and purify the social circle. Like the clinging vine, they twine themselves around the heart, calling forth its parest emotions. Such a home is worthy the name, ordinance of God. Suoh a life is worthy future life. Such a home will help prepare ns for a home hereafter. Then let me say to the parents here: Make the home-life beautiful, without and within, and they will sow the seeds of gentleness, true kindness, honesty, and fidelity in the hearts of their chil dren, from whioh the children reap a harvest of happiness and virtue. The memory of the beautiful and happy home of childhood is the richest legaoy any man can leave to his children. The heart will never forget ifs hallowed in fluences. It will be an evening enjoy ment, to which the lapse of years will only add new sweetness. Such a home is a constant inspiration for good and as constant a restraint from evil. Suoh at tractions and enjoyments will invest home-life, school-life, the whole future of life with new interests and with new dignity and joyousness, for life is just what we make it. We may by our blind ness live in a world of darkness and gloom, or in a world full of sunlight and beauty and joy; for the world without only reflects the world within. Also the tasteful improvement of grounds and home exerts a good influence not only upon the inmates, bnt upon the community. An elegant dwelling, sur rounded by sylvan attractions, is a con tribution to the refinement, the good order, the taste and prosperity of every community, improving the publio taste and ministering to every enjoyment. J On tVia nt.lmr hand. nannln who are con- tent to dwell in huts and oellars grow bar baron in their ideas. They beoome dirty and ragged in their dress, uncouth in manner, ooart e in habits, brutal in character, without aspiration for a bet ter life. There can be no progress in civilisation bnt improvement in their homes and grounds accompanies, if it does not directly prodnoe the advance in civilization. Improvements, a beau tilul village, a fine park, are effective in struments of civilization and education, and there is protection, as well as edu cation, in a fervent love of improvement, with its multitude of associations. Peril of Iced Tea. Beware the cup. In these days of raging thermometers and busy coroners it is fraught with peril. Scientific men, learned men in the professions, have oompelled us to drop the luscious straw berry in terror by screaming out to us that it would give us the hydrophobia. They have made us heartsick with ap prehension by showing that the tempt ing peach in our hands was reeking with the deadly prussio acid. They have fill ed onr ice cream with poisonous im purities. They have forbidden us to drink water that has passed through iron or lead pipes, or that has stood in a wooden vessel, or lain in a cemented cistern, or rippled from the rook of the hillside, impregnated with. heaven and chemistry only know what awful sub stance, until one restriction after another has made it the only safe way for a man to get a drink of water, for him to lie down on his back, open his mouth, and wait for the shower. Science has kindly warned us of tbe death that larks in the ooffee cap. The cap that blesses the breakfast table impairs the digestion. Large doses of it produoe palpitation of the heart. It is adulterated with Vene tian red and native sesquioxide of iron. Science has also warned us against the use of warm tea, bread and butter, meat, vegetables, fruit, grain, roots, berries, milk, and similar artioles as food. Sin gularly enough, science has not yet as sailed iced tea. But it will not do to permit people to enjoy this cool, delight ful beverage, simply because its taste is grateful to the wearied system during this scorching weather. We must do our duty, though science may shrink from it, and the people may cry out against us. There is danger in iced tea, and if you would live long and well shun the cooling cup. We will cite a few in stances of carefully made experiments. On the 10th of 'June, John O. Hemp stead, of .West Hill, began to drink ioed tea at dinner and supper. He kept up this practice for nearly three weeks, and then one day, going down the Division street steps, slipped and fell, abrading the skin of both legs, and running a sliver into the ball of his thumb so far that it made his teeth ache when he pulled it out. His clothing was also considerably torn. When he went home that evening he learned that his eldest boy had been whipped at school for sticking a pin as far through another boy as the head would let it go. He was warned to quit drinking iced tea, bnt he persisted in the practice, and he is now sleeping in the valley, between West ana Worth. Hill, wnere ne lives, ana says he never felt so well in his life. But may be he lies about it. Henry Esterfeldt, of Eighth street, drank iced tea resrularlv every stiuimer for three years. He persisted, and one Sunday afternoon while he was ont driv ing his horse ran away and smashed seventeen dollars out ol a borrowed buggy. He paid the money, but neg lected the warning. He went on drink ing ieed tea, and in less than six weeks somebody poisoned his dog. A young woman who did plain sewing in this city, while employed in the fami ly of Kalph Henderson, ot Maple street, became addicted to the use of iced tea. She soon ran a sewing machine needle through her thumb, and for many days, whenever she picked np a enp of iced tea, a sharp pain ran through that thumb, one refused to obey tne warn ing, however, and in six weeks she was carried away. The man who carried her away married her first. Last week, at the beginning of the heated term, two eminent scientific gentlemen, of Burlington, took a strong, healthy, black and tan dog and immersed him in a tub of pure cistern ater, into which a weak solution of iced tea had been poured. They held the dog s head under the water fifteen minutes, although he struRcled violently, thus showing the natural and instinctive aversion to a substance which intelligent human be ings blindly and eagerly drink, and when the Gentlemen took him out of the tub he was dead. If a teacupf ul of iced tea in a tubful of water will kill a dog, think for yourselves what must be the effect of a strong, unauuiea cup 01 mi uwuvuvu noon the svstem of a weak woman. Eleven grains of stryohnine mixed in a tablespooniui 01 loea tea will tuu iuo oldest man in' America. Burlington Hawkeye, Men of Few Words. Some men use words as riflemen use bullets. They say but little. The few words go right to the mark. They let you talk, and guide your face and eyes on and on, till what you say can be an swered in a word or two, and then they launch out a sentence, pierce the matter to the quick, and are done. Your con versation falls into their minds as a river in a deep chasm, and is lost from sight by its depth and darkness. They will sometimes surprise you with a few words that go to the mark like gunshots, and then they are silent again as if they were reloading. Such men are safe counselors and true friends, where they profess to be such. To them truth is more valuable than gold, while preten sion is too gaudy to deceive them. Words without points to them are like titles without merit, only betraying the weakness of the blind dupes who are ever used to forward other men's schemes. Homes for Iuebrtate Women. ' . A number of the leading ladies of Chi' cago are meditating a plan for the found' intr of a home for Inebriate women, simi lar to the Washington Home in that city. One of the female directors in the latter institution, who has had a wide opportunity for observation, says that there are constant applications from women for admission there; but that, among so many men, they cannot be re ceived. Most of the applicants are ig norant, coarse, vicious, though not a few are from the better walks of life, having aoquired such a love of liquor that their reformation is difficult. Their drinking is ascribed largely to physi cians' reoommendation of liquor as a stimulant to their feminine patients, on whom the habit thus becomes fixed. It is asserted that many women occupying high positions in Chicago often appear in society helplessly intoxicated, and that a number of merchant's wives al ways keep liquor near them, and. are regular drunkards. Taking their Pictures. One of the last acts of the Berlin peace oongress was the regulation of its expression. Prince Bismarck, at the clone of a sitting, requested tbe dele gates to retain their seats for a few sec onds, and then gave an order to his son. Count Herbert left the hall and in a moment reappeared with a gentleman in black, who, bowing to the diplomatists, said in broken French, " Gentlemen, I have received the honorable commission of taking a portrait of a sitting of the congress. I ask you, therefore, to keep yourselves for several instants in a quiet and easy position." The members laughed at the exhortation, but re mained quiet in compliance with his wishes. Professor Von Werner, the artist, charged by the municipality of Berlin to paint, in honor of the histori cal event, a large piotnre of the oongress, had already sketched the features of most of the members, who willingly granted him the desired sittings. The picture is to be placed in the Fairy Hall of the Mansion House. A Remedy for Consumptives. Medical men have known for a long time that the best remedies for consump tion were plenty of pure air, sunshine, and exercise, and also food that con tained much carbon. Cod-liver oil has been a favorite remedy, and has done good in prolonging the lives of con sumptives, and putting off the approach of the grim monster. The virtues of other remedies are in proportion to the amount of carbon they can infuse into the system to feed the consuming flame that wastes the body. The theory is that the internal fever burns up the car bon in tbe blood faster than the food eat en can, replace it. The disease then preys on the fatty substances of the body, and destroys the lungs, and event ually life. In short, there is not oil enough in the lamp for the wick, and the latter is burnt and the light goes out. The Chioago Tribune prints an inter esting letter from Dr. D'TJnger, of Minneapolis. Minn., on this subject, in which he makes publio a prescription which he declare has produced excel lent effects, to his personal knowledge. xius is his prescription: One-half pound flnely-cnt-up beef steak (fresh); Une drachm pulverized charsoal; Four ounces pulverized sugar; Four ounces rye whiskey; One pint of boiling water. Mix all together, let it stand in a cool place over night, and give from one to two teaspoon? uls Jiquid and meat be fore each meal. I have used thia preparation very fre quently, and hare never fonnd it act otherwise than beneficially. The dose should be small at first, until the stomach becomes used to it, aird then gradually increased. I This remedy has, at least, the merit oi simplicity. Any ne can try it. A locksmith, vhose name was Geese. placed the figures of several of these birds upon his sign, thns showing that he was too smart to be called a goose. Fact of Great Interest to All Time and Mfney HaTcd. All families are Interested in their family physicians. They cay take quack medicines for slight ailments, bat when true sickness cornea, then must come tbe family doctor. All are in terested then in this matter, and every family newspaper should give them valuable informa tion and advioe. Every one knows that, in times gone by, the great family dootors were educated in New York and Philadelphia, but that in these days such is no longer the case. The great cities of the West, Louisville, Chicago, Cincinnati, all oontain medical colleges in which the very best education is to be obtained. The coat of this education is far less than it is in Eastern cities ; a fact of great interest to parents and guardians, and to all interested in medical students. Indeed, so important in this money question to our readers, that we must give them information which will save for themselves and their friends both time and money. In the Atlantio cities a student has to pay for two courses of lectures $155 each t or (310 for the two. His diploma fee is $30 ; all fees amounting to $310. His board for two sessions is (280, or $140 for each. His fees and board costing $620. These facts and figures are official. In Louisville, Chicago, etc, where the medi cal colleges are equally as good as they are in New York the student pays for his two courses $65 each, or $130 for the two. His diploma fee oost $30. All fees amounting to $160 for the two sessions. His board for two sessions coats $160, or $80 for each. The entire fees and board ooeting $320. These figures are also official, and show that the student who goes to the great colleges of the West saves fully $300 in the cost of a first-class medical education. If to this amount be added that of tbe increased oost of travel it is evident that $100 would be a moderate estimate of the amount saved by him. Indeed, students re siding in the New England and Atlantio States can, by going to first-class medical colleges in tbe West, save from $200 to $300 in tbe oost of a medical education. Snrely these great money faots cannot fail to interest every reader, and cause him to bring them to the attention of all studying or about to study medicine. Parents and pereeptora will, we feel sure, thank ns for this valuable information. But there are other faots now to be given of even greater interest j faots which show that a student can not only save $300 in the oost of his medical education, but that heoan gain one full additional oourae of leotures. That is to say, the student will, in seventeen months, ob tain three instead of two courses of lectures, and save also $300. Among the many new catalogues of medical colleges recently issued, that of the Louisville Medical College (Louisville, Ey.) is exceedingly interesting. Indeed, the faots presented therein are so important that we must present them to our readers. It appears that the Faculty of the Louisville Medical College have been also elected to fill the vacant chairs in the Eentuoky School of Medicine one. of the oldest and best medical colleges in this oountry this great compliment having been extended to this Faculty on ac count of the triumphant success of the Louis ville Medical College. As the result, this Faculty teach in the Louisville Medical Col legs from September to March, and in the Eentuoky Bohool of Medicine from March to July. Both of these colleges are first-class institu tions, both being oonneeted, we see, with the Association of American Medical Colleges, of which the colleges of New York and Philadel phia are also members. From the fact of this Faculty teaching In these two great medical colleges, there spring some curious and interesting results. Students who enter the Louisville Medics In September or October, can, at the close of that session in February, at onoe enter tbe Eentuoky School of Medicine, which oommenoes its session in March and closes at the end ot June. In the following September or October these students can again enter the Louisville Medloal College and graduate In February. Thus having,. In seventeen months, passed three oompleto oourses of leotures ; whereas, In seventeen months, any other Faculty can give but two oourses of leotures. The student's entire fees for the three oourses in these two Louisville ool leges are, we see, but $187, and his board for seventeen months but $200, or $367 for the entire oost of his medloal eduoatlon, board, apd all fees Inoluded. When It le remembered that In Eastern col leges the student gets but two oourses of leo tures, and has to pay for these $340, with $280 for his board C$620 In all), it will be seen that in Louisville he gets one full oourse of leotures more In the same time, and raves in fees and travel fully $300.

Every student or guardian or parent who reads these remarkab s faots should send at onoe for catalogues. It Is stated In the cata logues Just issued, that all applications for them should be addressed simply to tbe Dean of the Louisville Medloal College Louisville, Ey. We see that five per oent. of the clans are granted beneficiary privileges. We also see in the catalogues issued, that studonts who desire it will be educated by the graded system adopted at Harvard, Massachu setts. One is not surprised to read, after learning these remarkable advantages offered by this Faculty, that ninety-five students have been graduated by it In the last year. The class list as published shows students from almost every State t the best evidenoe of the fact that the publio throughout this oountry is rapidly obtaining and appreciating the valu able information here given to our readers. It seems only natural that so many students from the Northern States should seek in winter the mild and temperate ollmate of Eentuoky j for thus they esoape their harsh winter weather, and return home in time for the oool Northern summer. Louisville, the geographical center of this oountry, bids fair to be one of its greatest medical centers. While newspapers seldom furnish the in' formation which we have herein given, we are satisfied that our readers will value these interesting and profitable faots and will agree with us in saying that all whioh is of Interest to the family oirole belongs of right to the family newspaper.

If errors or omissions occur. It Is our duty to notif publishers, at our own expense for labor, postage messenger, and to see to it that the publisher of paper actually does render the specified service fo which the advertiser contracted. Our Promise. We promise those advertisers who entrust their ad. vartiiunnT natron atre to our management that we will not allow them to be charged, in any instance, any more tbun the publishers schedule rates ; that we will pro onre for tnem the acceptance of any advantageous offer definitely made to them by any newspaper publisher, advertising agent. or canvasser of responsibility. We nre unwilling to do work without a Trotit, and never offer to do so, yet in onn fortuity with the promise made above, we sometimes nod It adviseable. The System of Arrangement for News paper Files. We have a perfected system for filing newrtpanerfl, a sepnrate space being accorded to eaon, and labelled with tbe printed name of the paper it is intended to accomodate.

" We have made out for suoh person a plan of adver. tfsing oalling for an investment of py,im, and on sub mitting it for approval found our customer dismayed at the magnitude of the expense, he not having contem plated an expenditure exoeeding $hi or $3xj. In snob a cane lW would have been saved, it at the com mencement of the negotiation the question had been asked i Aow much money are you prepared to devote to this adver tuuig f" The Confidence of Our Patrons a Matter of Prime Importance.

Our Customers Entitled to Our Best Services. Whenever we are doing the advertising for any individual, or firm, we consider then entitled to our best services. If they suggest using a paper whioh we know to be not the beet for the purpose, we say so and five tha reasons. We often expend a good deal of irae for very small advertisers, much more than tha profits on their patronage would warrant; but we are oontent, as they entrust to as what they have to die- Kree, and influence in our direction the patronage of sir friends and acquaintances.

Five Sea rss.ro they absorbed the business eonduoted by Mr. ohe Hooper, who waa U a first to go into this kind of enterprise. Now they have the satisfaction of control ling the most extensive and complete advertising con nection which has ever been secured, and one wnioh would hardly be possible in any other oountry ut this.
