There is naught missing to be wished for, when around the house the crowing cocks and cackling hens mingle their voices with the “potrack” of the guineas, while the lowing cows, coming home at milking time, attract the attention of the laughing children who have been listening to mamma singing “Rock of Ages, Cleft tor Me.” while the sewing machine kept time to the tune. The rattling chains from the horses’ necks frighten the lazy dogs from their beds as they approach a lot in which there is corn and provender to spare. That home is selfsustaining, and no mortgage has ever known its whereabouts; no sheriff has ever crossed its threshold. The faithful wife and manly husband love to work and consider it honorable. They are more concerned as to the time to rob the bees than when congress shall meet. They know no sovereign save God, and please each other. Oh, happy, contented people! Yours ts indeed a happy home.

So, when asked his age by a kind, old dame. The comical youngster said: “I’m nine when I stand on my feet like this, But six when I stand on my head.” Beyond doubt, if a business man desires to get all there is of virtue in advertising he must keep everlastingly at it. An advertisement in this week and out next week is not calculated to give the business it represents the permanency the advertiser desires. By keeping everlastingly at it the business not only holds present patrons but looks after the future. A continual advertisement impresses the public with the fact that you are still at your post, ready to do busi-

ness.

Hints for Our Correspondents Spell proper names correctly, and if an uncommon name appears, write it out in big Roman letters, thus:

B-R-O-W-N.

Avoid too frequent mention of certain persons, even though they stand high in the community. The people whose names never appear in print notice these things. Write nothing relating to church wrangles, personal matters and private family affairs, and let severely alone everything having the appearance of a scandal. Don’t try to “get even” with anybody through the columns of a newspaper. It may injure you, and it will injure the paper. Don’t forget to mention the births; it will please the parents, and the people want to know how fast the population is increasing. Besides furnishing us with the news of your territory, you may send descriptions of local matters ot interest. Say a good word for your district, your local industries, your church and your local societies or organizations. People like to read the news first, and then they will be pleased to read about matters in which they are interested, and which are not strictly news. Relics, heirlooms, old coins, natural curiosities, etc., can be described and will be of interest everybody, even if the person who possesses them is unknown to the reader. In short, send whatever you would be interested in reading if written by some one else. In writing a notice of death, give the name of deceased; place of residence; age as accurately as possible; cause of death; time of death; per sonality of deceased, character, standing in community; names of children; names of brothers and sisters, date of burial; officiating minister. An account of a funeral will interest everybody, and therefore ought to be very minute and authentic. In describing a death, do not forget to mention when it occured.

J. F. Smith and wife have been here from Brazil, visiting John Ireland and family. Columbus Crawley, of South Greencastle, was stricken with paralysis, on Friday—he is reported in an improved condition. A newspaper office is not a factory where news is manufactured, and newspaper men are not clairvoyants who can seo all things, nor omnipresent and be at all places. He writes up not alone what he sees, but also things of which he hears. He cannot see everything, and there are many things he would not hear of only for the kind courtesy of individuals who do not find it too much trouble to assist him. Some people are kind enough to step out of their way a little to tell of an accident, or to tell were or how an item of news may be gathered that might otherwise be missed by the newspaper. From others you can learn nothing. A newspaper transmits to print the little things about town that may be seen or heard, of some one visiting a neighbor, or of some of their own folks going away or coming home, of a runaway, dog fight, an accident, etc. If you know of any of these things, send word to the office or tell the editor; you should not blame anyone but yourself if they are not found

in print.

Advertising pays: Newspaper advertising pays best of all. Our most successful and prosperous merchants and tradesmen, whose bright record has added imperishable lustre to the history of American commerce, can all testify to this truth from personal experience. The newspaper is the commercial traveler in city and country home, who tells at the fireside, to its evening circle, the merits of your wares and merchandise, if you are wise enough to employ it to speak for you. It never is neglected, never goes unheeded, never speaks to inattentive or unwilling ears. It never bores. It never tires. It is always a welcome visitor and receives a cordial reception. It speaks when the day is done, when cares vanish, when the mind at peace and at rest in its most receptive mood. Then it is that its story is told and all who read treasure what it says, and are influenced to go where it directs for the thing of which it speaks. What other influences can be so potent to help trade as this quiet but powei’ful advocate? Let it become a salesman in every home for your wares. Let it make its mighty plea for your benefit. And we assure you it will do more than all other influences to promote your business and put money in your

purse.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

bj - local applications as they cannot reach the disease'll portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and thnt is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lininz of thc Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sonnd or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation, can be taken

have now become medical facts. Perhaps, says the New York World, the latest discovery in the realm iff bacteriology is regarding the enormous quantity of bacilli that are to be found in cotton and woolen clothes. Herr Seitz, a savant and physician of Munich, has recently made a series of careful investigations of bits of cotton and woolen goods, and the result of the researches, as he gives it out, contains information that is startling and

worthy of careful attention.

Herr Seitz’s experimenting has been done with pieces of cloth about oneeighth of an inch across. In the average bit of woolen goods of this size he discovered nine hundred and fifty-six microbes. Thc pieces examined were cut from a woolen stocking. In a piece of like size cut from a cotton stocking he found an average yield of seven hundred and twelve microbes. These bits of cloth had all been worn. But Herr Seitz’s experiment did not stop hero. He carefully tested bits of a glove that was quite new and fresh, and had never yet been upon any hand. In that thirty-three microbes were discovered on the average, all thc pieces examined having been of the above size. Other experiments quite as interesting this German physician made, with the result of formally establishing the theory that microbes exist to a greater or less extent in all wearing

apparel.

It must not be supposed, however, Herr Seitz contends, thnt all thc varieties of bacilli found in clothing are breeders of dangerous diseases. Some of them have been proved by science to be quite harmless, but the mere fact that microbes can and do exist in clothes, and grow fruitful and multiply there, it an alarming one. With this theory made into a fact, the peculiar spreading of contagious diseases can be traced much more easily and precautions more readily taken. Accepting the fact that nearly all clothing is the neat of some type of bacilli, it Is not difficult to si^e how certain sporadic diseases spring up. One especially valuable btt of medical data has come to light through these experiments, and that is to the effect that the bacilli of typhoid fever can bo preserved in wool, under ordinary conditions, for twenty-five days. A vigorous application of this knowledge may, do much to ward off typhoid fever in

future.

Not since "The Anglomaniacs" has there been so clever a society satire as Henry Ful ler's “Pilgrim Sons," which is published in the August Cosmopolitan.

Only F-xpert* Can Detect Them from the

Heal Article.

When a man buys a pipe or a cigarholder with a mouthpiece, which the dealer declares is amber, the chances are ten to one that the purchaser is Iwing deceived. This assertion may seem hard upon the seller, hut so clever an' the imitations of amber now in the market that dealers need have little fear in selling them, as none hut an expert can tell the false from the real. Celluloid and amberine are the cheapest of thc imitations, says the New York Press, and no dealer would think of recommending them as amber to anyone who appeared to know much about what he wanted. Ihit with umlieroid it is a different matter, for, as this Substance is made from the amber itself, there is no perceptible difference in its appearance or properties. This is made from small bits of amber ground fine and compressed by hydraulic power. The process is a secret possessed only by u few manufacturers in Vienna. All the 1 mg stems of o clear, beautiful amber, which give a meerschaum or briar so fancy a price, arc made of amberoid, excepting, perhaps, pipes of the highest value. The belief that the sure test of amber is that it will pick up paper has deceived many people., for amberoid will do thc same thing, as will amberino, which is a still cheaper composition mudo in England. Experts tell celluloid at a glance, but anyone may distinguish it by it$ smell of camphor, which outers largely iuto its composition Most of thc amber sold comes from along the Black sea in Turkey and Germany. Here, buried in the sand, is found the sea-green amber of almost priceless value. This is chiefly used for jewelry, although smokers’ articles are sometimes made from it. Green amber is seldom seen in this country. Black umber, used for jewelry and Inlaying, and milk-white amber are also valuable. For many centuries umber has been regarded with favor on account of its supposed medicinal properties. A pipe stem which is valuable and odd is one made from the pinion of an albatross. The bones from the wing are about a foot and n half long and hollow. They are sold in this city by sailors who capture the large birds that alight on the musts of ships at sea.

It was understood the object of the discussion would be to oppose the free silver sentiment in advance of the conflict over the national platform in 1896, The determination is not to open this year the campaign of next year is wise. Senator Faulkner of West Virginia is the chairman of the democratic congressional committee. In announcing that the committee will not precipitate the discussion of national questions says: “There is no campaign on this year, and the committee does not feel called on at this time to send orators through the country to discuss any question.” There can be no higher political wisdom than that. There is no necessity for the present discussion of next year’s issues. Let next year take

care of itself.

The country is making itsown political history with such rapid succession of the chapter propagandists on any question would be impertinent and useless. Events are telling their own story and'making their own argument. With all the wheels of industry in motion, with all the capital of the country employed in profitable enterprise, with all the keels of commerce carrying their burdens to the markets, with increased wages of labor and the disappearance of the unemployed class, the people do not need to be told where their political duty calls, for it is in the direction of the national prosperity. The tariff question and the silver question are settling themselves. The democratic policy is commended to popular approval by the daily occuriug events'of trade and industry. Tae danger of depreciation in the currency has disappeared. The business of thejeountry is growing up to the volume of ^tlie currency. The period of expansion beyond business needs is substantially at an end. The denocratic revival is on the eve of

accomplishment.

These and other reasons make it obvious that all discussion of next year’s campaign tissues should be postponed until next year. Certainly by democrats: repubiicans are afraid to say where^they stand. The people have too much to do at present to plunge |into the conflicts of the future. Many present problems will have solved themselves before the summer of 1896. If any great national problemjshall remain unsolved at that time, democrats may consider then whether their opinion on the subject should be embodied in the democratic platform.

NclTariff Legislation. Charles L. Henry, the Republican member of Congress who was elected as the successor of William D. Bynum in the Indianapolis district, has been made the subject of a newspaper interview. He appears to possess a candid spirit.What he says is valuable for instruction and for reproof. Congressnipn Henry cays that “times certainly r.ro improving.” He declares that “there is more confidence among merchants and manufacturers, orders are increasing and prices are better.” This relates to the manufacturing districts of Indiana. Press dispatches from other sources in a!) directions say that there has been a substantial advance

in wages.

The significant part of Mr. Henry’s interview, however, is that which relates to the tariff. It is the essence of free speech, without the contamination of Republican partisanship. He says? “As for the tariff, we recognize that there can be no radical change as long as President Cleveland is in the white house, bat I am sure the protection sentiment in Indiana is stronger than ever, and the delegation will represent that feeling.” Truth always is refreshing. Here is candor and absolute integrity of statement. Business is better. Prices, including the wages of labor, are advancing. There is progress in all the departments of industry and trade. But no change in the tariff is expected as long as President Cleveland remains #a office. Ac the Cuugrtss
