RA OTIC AL HINTING FOR ARTICULAR EOPLE RETT IL Y RINTED.

PRINTING is the ambassador of trade. It is sent out to acquaint your customers with your business. It goes where you cannot be; it tells the story you would have told had you been able to go in its stead; it is the means by which you hope to attract attention to your house: to interest the public and secure patronage, if at all possible. In order to achieve these results and secure adequeat returns for the money invested, it is vitally essential that your printed literature have qualities. Ordinary, printing is forgetable prining.' Distinctive printing impresses itself upon the mind and brings results. 3he Courier (Printern, BylBEN.ED Doane, Jasper. Indiana,

young man for herself, and In awe-

Bomo whispers she Imparted the Information that Prudence Smith was knockkneed and would never bo able to stand ut a wasutub or run up and down the cfllnr stairs. The j-ounj; man was at once Impressed, lie ceased to spark Prudence on Sunday nights and assure her that be longed to mp , over precipices for her sake, and of ' course she resented It She weut about I with her chin In the air and asked for . no explanations, and so relations were

' Btrnlnod for many long months. Then J Zabed's mother found out what was I the matter with him and set him

right. The widow had lied. Zabed made It up with tbo girl. The doves came back again and turtled, a new date was set for the marriage, and

Farmer Smith reached out his horny hand for a shake nnd said: "Zabed, gol durn your buttons, you're pittln' the real thing, nnd you ortcr be tbo happiest man in Woodchuck county." Zabed was for about two woeks. Then Deacon Gray, who. was a widower and wanted Prudence for his second

wife, gave up some Information about , Zabed. When he had sworn her to tho 1 mrmr nwftil cdnrnpr lift nnnfnacvul '

the young man hud a live frog In his stomach and would probably go mad within two years and cut the throat of his wife if he had one. The frog had jumped down Zabed's throat one day when he was drinking from the horse

pond, and, though, thousands of inducements had ben held out to him, nothing could prevail upon him ta Jump out Well, where is the young girl, no matter how her heart rAinks with love, who is going to marry a young man with a live and growing frog in bis stomnch? Sho can't be found. She wasn't found In this case. Prudence Smith cooled oft on Zabed Winters, and he went about rlth his chin -In the air and was too proud to ask for an explanation. It was a year before one came. Then a lightning rod man stnyed overnight at Smith's, and after supper he got to talking about frogs. Seeing he was posted on the subja- K. Prudence mnde bold to ask him if he had ever heard of a frog taking up inside quarters, and he answered that such a thing yas absolutely impossible and beyond belief. Zabed Winters had probably swallowed a small fish nnd the llsh might be growing, but If left alone he could in time be fished for and caught. That settled the frog question, and Zabed was invited to come around and make up. lie got a

She was too old to marry, but not too old to utter a warning for the benefit of a young man who had put In a day hoeing her garden nnd refused to take pay for It She told him right straight out that Prudence Smith snored like a steam engine, that she bad six toes on her right foot nnd only four on hqr left that she hnd hnd St Vitus' dance when a baby and that It was sure to come back on her some day. It might not bo a yenr after marriage that Zabed would corrio up from the cornfield some afternoon and find her dancing all around the dooryard and kicking as high as a fence. That settled Zabed. He wanted Trudence, but he didn't want a dancing dervish. More coldness, more trained relations. It waR a full yenr before old Mrs. Snyder was proved a llnr, and It took three months longer to make up and set another date. Things had run smoothly to within a fortnight of the date when a tin peddler came along and bought a sheepskin of Zabed and then told him that Prudence Smith was deaf In the

right ear, nearsighted In both eyes and would be tongue tied before Bhe was two years older. Zabed hadn't noticed the deafness or blindness, bat he be-

The lovers wero brought face to face, but they didn't speak.

A DIAMOND STORY.

The Way a Russian Princen Disposal of Her Jewels. A few years no Ludwig Nissen, i well knowu wholesale denier of the Maulen lane district, was in the oflicc of a diamond merchant in ' Lomion when a stranger came in and offered an unusually beautiful stone for sale. Tho Englishman j did not care to buv Hut Nissen

said he represented a friend, a woman, who did not care to have her name disclosed. The American waa firm. If he could not learn tho owner's name he would not buy. The 6tranger eaicThe would 6ee the woman and talk the matter over with her. Tho next day he came back and

took Mr. Nissen to tho woman's

home. She lived in a handsomo apartment in one of the most fash- j ionable quarters of the city. It turned out that she was a Russian princess who, with her husband, and her daughter, had been driven! from Eussia for having taken part in a nihilist movement. Of all their largo property thoy had saved only their jewels. She opened a little safe and showed the American One of the finest collections of diamonds he had ever 6een. They were worth $200,000 or $300,000. "We sell them a few at a time," , ehe explained, "just enough of them each year to give us & living. Perhaps you will wonder why we don't sell them all and live on the! interest of the money? But my' husband has the gambler's spirit.!

The money would not last a year. So we part from them piecemeal.

I estimate that th'ere are enough of

them to keep us twenty years, and! I don't expect to live longer than that." i One of those diamonds forma th centerpiece of one of the most val-' uable necklaces in New York. A few others are sent to this country ever' year. In the "diamond horseshoe" at the opera there is never a night when there are not some of the jewels of the exiled princess on view.

One day lie came home with a new pnir of !ih' under her arm. "Got tlioi i n( r.r.deV," she explained, "and tl y're the best I ever bought you."

A big wooden bowl filled with warm, not boiltug, soapsuds, to widen a few drops of household ammonia have been added, should bo

prepared ana cacn piece ot cnwtLi washed separately in this, using at square of old flannel for plain

plates, etc., and a soft brush (a painter's brush is best) for elaborately ornamental articles. Rinse in another wooden bowl of clean warm water and dry with linen cloths. Bronze ornaments may be washed in the same way, but should be finally polished with a chamois leather. Some people coneider a rub with a rag on which there is the least suspicion of paraffin gives bronze a nice appearance. Glass should be washed in warm water that has a little ammonia in it, but no soap, and then rinsed in quite cold water. Cut glass should be washed with a brush, or if elaborately cut and very dirty it is rather a good plan not to wash it at all, but brush a paste of hiting and water well into it, allowing it to dry on thoroughly, then removing it with a clean brush and finally polishing with an old silk handkerchief.
