Yes; The Merchant Who Advertises Can Afford To Sell It For Less! No matter what the article is, unless it should be v thing whose selling prize is as fixed as that of a j-Ktatrestamp, the merchant who is an enterprising a Jvcrtmer is sure to sell it for less than the merchant i les not advertise. Fr, in spite of his advantages buying buying in rK'e quantities for cash or short credit, taking inrt advantage of buying opportunities-his selling vantage is the decisive factor. For he is enabled t count his profits on a large aggregate of sales r-t 'impelled to secure them from a few sale, for he vuM he taxing a small number of customers with t entire support of his buisness.

The Nutmeg Tree. The nutmeg is the kernel of th fruit of several species of treea growing wild in Asia, Africa and

J America. The cultivated nutmeg tree Is 1'iom fifty to seventy-fivo

feet high ami produces fruit for sixty years. The fruit is of the size and appearance of a roundish pear, yellow in color. The fleshj part of the fruit i3 rather hard and resembles candied citron. Within is the nut, enveloped in the curious yellowish red aril known to us as

j mace. Up to 179G the Dutchr being j in possession of the islands produc- ' ing the only valuable variety of the

nutmeg, jealousy tried to prevent the carrying of the tree or a living seed of it into unv territory inde-

I pendent of Dutch rule.

The Disturbing Telephone. "The telephone has destroyed all the privacy of society," paid the society girl." "It bmiks in on everything. Nothing is sacred to it. You may be saying your prayers. The telephone. Or in the midst of your bath. The telephone. Or doing up your back hair or, worse of all, a delightful man may be making love to you, when k-ling, k-ling, k-ling!

fiiflsliss ail Stils in Adicrtisii. j The trite comment upon success of any sort $ that "there is everything in knowing how" is i particularly applicable to the business of ad- ?

vertising. Merchants generally advertise their business, but not many of them regard advertising as a part of their business; that is they do not put business methods and business brightness into their advertising. Judicious advertising pays every time, and he who knows how to advertise judiciously is a better nnninnprl hnsinpss man than is his merchant

neighbor who does not know when and how to

advertise. A striking advertisement will run the gamut of popular attention and get into the air like a popular song. Advertisements have become as familiar as household words, and remained advertisements long after they had disappeared from newspaper columns and from advertising billboards. Who will ever forget the mystic "S. T. I860 X?" It can no longer be seen in print, nor upon billboards, but the name of the compound it advertised comes to mind with the legend, and the advertisement is as bright as it was twenty-five years ago. "You press the button; we do the rest!" It is hardly necessary to state what these words advertise. They have been so widely read and are so' taking and so suggestive of ability that

everybody Knows what tney rerer to. to snow j to what extent an advertisement with bright- t ness in it gets into the public mind, the fact f may be cited in relation to the advertisement under comment that no less a personage than 1 Chauncey M. Depevv, in a speech before the t merchants of New York at their annual din- t ner, closed an interesting statement of the advantages of reciprocity with the remark, "As merchants, as bankers and business men, we X say to congress in the language which adver- 4, Uses that most universal and productive of our institutions, 'You press the button; we will do the rest " t If merchants and manufacturers want to t win advertising of this happy kind, all they have to do is to advertise in the right way and put happy thoughts into their advertise- ? ments.

He Had Four Kinds of Meat and Four Kinds of Bread. Old man Wow ton, the meanest citizen in all the blue grass country, drove up to the market place in Lexington, where an army of negroes stood about or lay basking in the early morning Fun waiting for some man to hire them. The old man was bo stingy that he usually had great difficulty in engaging negroes to do extra work on his farm. But this time he struck a bargain immediately with big Bill Saunders ilnd the half dozen powerful but lazy blacks who follow at his heels. Ali the. others were greatly surprised to see this gang ambling out on the big road toward Mr. Wowton's place. Next morning they were mystified to see big Bill and his cronies again in the market place. "Whadja doin' hyuh, Bill?" asked Hannibal Harrison Tyler. "Lookin fo' wuk," Bill replied sadly. "Thoupht you all wuz wukkin' for Mistuh Wowt'on?" teYfKf, v e sut'nly -wuz wok'in fo' Mistuh Wowton. He come to me yistiddy mawnin an' Bay: 'Come on "out an' make hay fo' me.

It seems to be fond of making enormous nests merely for the purpose of exercise in the art of construction. Supply these birds with strings and straw, and. they will use them up rapidly, and their fabric is woven with a perfectness that is astonishing. In some countries it is the custom of the weaver birds to colonize and build one big flat topped platform, two or three yards across, wliich is so admirably put together as to shed the rain as well as any roof could do. Under this roof they make individual pocket shaped nests, bringing up under this unique structure a largo and interesting family of little weavers. There is another bird, called the "tailor," which, instead of weaving its nest, incloses it in big leaves and stitches the latter together with plant fibers, just as one would sew a piece of cloth.

TRICK SHOOTING.

Generally.

The Way Some of the Stage Feats Are Accomplished. When a champion rifle shot fire blindfolded at a wedding ring or a penny held between his wife'a thuntb and finger or seated back to her shoots, by means of a mirror, at an apple upon her head or on a fork hold in her teeth, the danger of using a bullet is obvious. None, of course, is needed. The explosion is enough. The apple is already prepared, having been cut into pieces and stuck together with an adhesive substance, and a thread with a knot at the end, pulled through it from the "wings," so that it flies to bits when the gun is fired, is "how it is done'." Generally the more dangerous a feat appears the more carefully is all danger guarded against. In tho "William Tell" act the thread is often tied to the assistant's foot. When, again, the ash is shot off a cigar which tho assistant is smoking a piece of wire is pushed by his tongue through a hollow passage in the cigar, thus thrusting off the ash at the moment of firing. A favorite but simple trick is the Ehooting from some distance at an orange held in a lady's hand. Great npplaiFC is invariably forthcoming when the bullet drops out on her cutting open the fruit. It is inserted by hand earlier in the evening. Another popular trick is that of snuffing out lighted caudles. Half a dozen are placed in front of a screen, in which as many small holes are bored, one against each candle wick. At the moment of firing a confederate behind tho screen pharply blows out each candle with a pair of bellows. In most instances whero a ball or other object has to bo broken on n living person's head blank cartridge is xised and tho effect produced by other means. A special wig with a spring concealed in it. worked by a wire under tho clothes is generally used, the confederate manipulating the spring simultaneously w.Vh the firing of tho rifle. As the ball is' of extremely thin glass, a mere touch suffices to shatter it. In these exhibitions some of the rifle "experts" invite gentlemen from the audience to testify that the weapon is indeed loaded. Tho cartridge shown looks very well, but it is a shell of thin wax blackened to resemble a leaden bullet. Jt would not hurt n liv. London TitBits. Unjustly 21. i.i..d.
