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

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

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,

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

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.

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

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. A great Boonoirr or rms,

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.

tisement, in each paper, in a book kept for that pur
pone, and at all times subject to the Inspection of the
advertiser, and marking plainly in each paper tbe ad
vertisement as it appears; so that when the advertiser
comes for senai; ior tne purpose oi navini? me nies ex

ment, without the labor oi Marching a whole paper ot
P-'KS.
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. A stranger oan place his hand upon any
PPr he wishes to examine with the same readine
witn which be would find a word in a dictionary, a Dam
in a directory, or a book in a library catalogue.
The Amount of Money to be Expended
Persona who have had little experience aa advertisers

bable cost. "
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.
It ia a matter of prima importance to us, 1
Surposeof maintaining our influence with pub
aat it shall come to be understood among tbe
for tbe
nublishers.
nnriarstiYkri sunfinaT them that
our statements about tbe advertising to be done, or not
to re done, are to be relied upon, and to this end onr
dealing with our advertising patrons must be upon
a basis of mutual confidence nd good faith.
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.
Mxtrmet from JVtus Ywrk " Rmf,' 14, 187a.
Tsn years ago Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell tfc Co., estab
lished their advertising agency in New York Oity. 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.
They eave sueceeded in working down a complex busi.
aess into so thoroughly a systematio method that no
ehange in tha newspaper system of Amerioa oan escape
notice, while the widest information upon ail topios
interesting to advertisers isplaoed readily at the dis
posal of the public
