A ovkhtminci pays but advertising also costs. A single page in an issue of the Century, taken for advertising purposes, costs $o00 in Harper's, £100 down togl(K). A yearly advertisement of ono column In tho New York Herald costs $8,301 for the lowest and f180,000 for the highest priced columns, And yet some men who spend §S or $10 a month for advertising imagine they are liberal users or printer's ink.

As a rule polities don't pay, but Daniel Lamont is an exception. Ton years ago his salary on a newspaper was $15 a week, His appointment as President Cleveland's private secretary brought him Into intimate relations with men of groat woalth and his income is now estimated to be $50,000 a year. About §40,000 should probably be deducted from this for exaggeration, but in any ovont it is evident that Daniel has prospered.

T«K United States Hon a to contains 10 millionaires, whose aggregate woalth is reported to bo $7 million dollars. And wo havo a California editor's word for it that it costs $300,000 to bo elected to the Senate from that State. If tho fathers could havo forsoon such a state of things what would they havo thought of it and what do their posterity think of it? Doesn't it savor rather too much of the English House of Lords?

Tiikuk Is a sort of retributive justice In the poverty of Gen. Fremont's widow in her old age. Many years ago the general realized fl,337,500 from the sal© of tho Mariposa grant. His lawyer aidvised him to put half of It in some form of safe investment, but his wife thought he could do much better by using the money in speculation and in six month* the whole of it waa squandered* Nevertheless Mrs. Fremont ought to toft provided for in her old age and infirmity.

It sewn that medical science la making some progress in spite of the popular opinion to the contrary. At least the doctors make out that it!». Dr. Koeh tho eminent authority on bacteria, sh»w» that in the last iHteen years tho study In that branch of science has fully established the connection of these eerms with disease and developed agencies for their destruction. Disinfection, the Alteration of water, sterillaaUon of milk for Infants, the careful investigation of eewer gas and other kindred studies, have grown out of this line of W86MCh. So, while medical whence has often seemed to move at a snail's pace, perhaps after all it Is making substantial progress. .Lot «s hope so at least.

I» tiikrk anything but humbuggory in this "mind reading" after all? Chicago was recently tr*«t*d to some alleged wonderful exhibitions of It by one Johnson, of St. Paul. Bi«t now comes Dr. Gatcholi, of that eity, and expose* the trick by charging IbtU there was an ar» rangement of the bandages which per. mitted Johnson to see t&e psaam made by the committee, and ©tTenng to give him if he will r«*d the name on the back of a ch*k pinned to the wall under such condition* a# the doctor will prescribe. Mr, Johnson decline* to make #$00 by auch an eniy procews and tlm* apparently give* himself **ay a fraud. Wm WaahiQfton Irving Biabop a humbug of the same kind?

Jay Gould is roported to have an in come of $12,000,000 a year. If Jay does not die pretty soon he will get ail the money in the country.

Cai-ifoksia will be doubly a golden State this year. The failure of fruit in the East will create an unprecedented demand for her canned goods and she will be at least §10,000,000 richer than usual from this source.

Lawhknce Bakkett has reappeared on the stage after a critical operation at the hand* of eminent surgeons. The public will bo glad to loam that the •eminent tragedian has »o far recovered Irvin h!*t illnesses to be able to resume hi» profession, to which it was feared he might never be able to return.

Co non ks closed Wednesday after paMB Ing tho tariff bill, whieb the President promptly signed. It Is not a proper measure in many respects and the Dem ocrats will use it lu the next campaign with decided effect against tho Kepublicans. It will be hard for the latter to Justify the increase of duties which the bill effects. ______

It in stated"that tho price of aluminium ban bfjen reduced to $1 a pound and that new processes of reduction will make tho metal still cheaper. A few years ago the price was $20 a pound, and if these promises shall be kept the wonderful motnl will come into general use for a great variety of purposos to which it is admirably adopted but is yet too dear to use. li- any of our citizens are investing their hard round dollars in Chicago real estate at present boom prices, they would best "look a little out." One of the newspapers of that city admonishes its readers, "That reaction will follow the World's Fair every sober and couserya tivo man confidently believes, and it is well enough to take the fact into consid oration and prepare for the worst."

Now that the potato crop has failed in Ireland and that country is threatened with a famine, It is proposed to unload the people upon this country, their passage to the United States being paid by the English government. Minister Phelps has notified this country of the danger. What will be done about it? Little good it does to lock our doors against the products of foreign cheap labor if the foreign cheap labor itself is to pour in to compete with American workingmen.

Bellamy's scheme of hearing music, sermons, etc., in one's own house by means of telephone, had a practical illustration in a church at Birmingham, England, last Sunday. The different paits of the service were conveyed successfully to London, Manchester, Derby and other cities, with entire satisfaction. The electrical appliances in tho church were scarcely visible and in no way disturbed the congregation. "Looking Backward" doesn't seem to be looking forward so very far after all.

7 HE BIRCH ALL MURDER. A case rivalling in interest that of the famous Maxwell-Preller case was concluded at Woodstock, Canada, the other day by the conviction of Reginald Birchall of the murder of F. C, Benwell.

The case resembled the Maxwell case in some of its features. The motive was money, both men were English and Benwell was induced to come to Canada in order to purchase an interest in a valuable farm which Birehali professed to own. Pretending to take him oo-t to see the farm, Birchall led his victim into a swamp and there killed him. The body was found three days later and although the evidence against Birchall was purely circumstantial, it was so conclusive that the jury promptly returned a verdict of guilty and he has been sentenced to death on the scaffold.

The case aroused so much interest that the crowds at the trial wore unprecedented and tho entire speech for the defense and the judge's charge were cabled to England, making one of tho few largest dispatches ever sent by cable from this country.

CASH.

Ono of tho largest retail grocers iu Chicago, who some time ago adopted the spot cash" system, is greatly pleased with the operation. He says: "At first I lost some customers on account of the cash system, but they are coming back. Tho cash system is the safe one. When we get down to it all along the lino there will be no panics, less uneasiness, and fewer squeezes in the money market."

He is right undoubtedly. The system that gives tho merchant "hard cash" in hand for every article that leaves his shelf is the ideal one because it saves all tho labor and coat of book-keeping, the risk of loss and the many misunderstandings that grow out of tho credit system. It is easy to see that it is better for the seller, but it la also better for the buyer. He is sure to get bis goods at the very lowest market rates—au Important consideration—and be avoids tho anxiety of anticipating large bills and the discomfort of finding them always larger than his vivid imagination had pictured them. He avoids buying more than ho can pay for and when he has a dollar In his pocket or a hundred of them in bank, ho does not have to count up his debts iu order to ascertain how much, if any of it, really bolongs to him.

A thousand things can bo said in favor of the cash system, whose advantages are so palpable that it would seem It must sooh come into general use. 5

WESTERN ARCHITECTURE. A very attractive article in Scribner's Monthly, for October is by the well known Chicago architeet John W. Root, entitled

uThe

City House In the West."

He notes, as every traveller must have done, that the plan of building dwelling houses in blocks is much less prevalent In the Wost than in the Bast. To a westerner this is the least agreeable fea ture of eastern cities, as It seems unhomelike. The beat idea of a home is that it shall occupy a lot separate and detached from Its neighbors and the larger the plot of ground about it the better. The hope of every homo-maker la that he may have his own lawn and trees.

Says Mr. Root "The suliuran effect is also enhanced by the extraordinary increase in the variety of building ma terials, which, coupled with the char&c terlstic Western love of novelty, often leads to the erection of houses as differ ent in materia], color, and treatment as is possible to conceive, different dwellings in the earn© street being independent of each other—as if separated by wide stretches of open country, Nevertheless, many streets thus built up present a superb air of space, com fort, and even luxury. In driving through the streets the eye is at no time wearied with the monotony which is so tiresome in Fifth avenue or other aim! lar streets in Eastern clUee, hat is everywhere delighted with the constant change, constant appeal to new sentiment, and that delightful sense of the picturesque which to the stranger ia so inspiring. Notable among soch streets are Euclid avenue In Cleveland, where the splendid residences which line it are often set back as much as 300 or 900 fe«t from the street Michigan boulevard and the iake-sbore drive In Chleagc, superbly paired eueeta, with greet variety of intewwimg ootlook Prospect and Grand A venom in Milwaukee, the tir«t overlooking the lake tmm a bluff 100 feet high, the second a magnificently wooded avenue 300 tee* wide, aadaevenri &vemie« in St. Faa!, Minneapolis, and other cities**

Tbm utteie la eeoompeoled by a number of illustrations of modem etyle house* In Western eiUo* and i* well *lcuiated to open the eyes of Eaatera re«S-

[Written for The Mall!) THE LAST KISS. 1^

Softly shines the summer sunshine," Softly gentle breezes blow, Bound the home where death has entered

And has laid the fairest low. Pale and cold, yet sweetly peaceful, Lies the silent, lovely form Of the fair young wlfo and mother,

Called to heaven but yester morn. Sad and sweet the simple service Many friends, with grief sincere, Bend above the white-robed figure

And the face to all so dear. Now are those, on whom this sorrow

WIUi crushing weight of anguish fell, Husband, parents, brothers, sisters, Gathered 'round to say farewell. And the air with sobs Is heavy-

Sobs from hearts all crushed and torn, That, with all their human pathos,

Up to heaven's gate are borne. A a it in a In compassion hover near, Spread whit© wings of benediction

v,\

O'er tho scene, and stoop to hear Baby Halite's lisping accents, ¥T4~. Saying, as her troubled brow ,' ,. Relaxes Into trustful calmness, "Let me kiss my mamma, now." Trembling hands uplift her gently.» \11

She, with childhood's guileless faith, KIgscs, the last time this side heaven, The lips that kissed hers first on earth,. Then, with face serene and radiant,

She turns away with a smile of peaceo! Childish can», vague shades of sorrow Passed away with that loving k3ss» Touching tribute to that mother!

I'atheUc lovel I'athetic trust! Child, thy loving heart Is clingiri^'V^ To a lovely form—of dust. 111^8 How Oft in the path that lice before thee,

Lined with thorns as well as flowers, J_When the shadow# gather 'round thee,' And trials AU the lengthened hours, When human add—when earth-love faileth

To lift the shadows from thy brow— W1U thy lone heart's yearning cry be, "Let me kiss my mamma now," RelentJesw death his ley finger

On her Ups tho* early laid ', But the praj crs of that angel mother, Angel while yet on earth she stayed, And that mother* latest blessing, -y.

A* thy band lay on thy head, While she soUd, "God bless my darting! And keep her safe when I am deed." These, a mother's prayer and blessing,

Will thy lone life% safeguard prove Shed a halo ef safety round tbee From her bomeof endless love.
