The Secret of Advertising.

Tho secret of advertising Is not yet dis
covered by all who advertise. A good
deal of money and space Is wasted In clum-
sy announcements which nobody reads,
heavy standing placards, which no more
stimulates purchasers than the names on
signs. Much money Is also wasted In
circulars, which arc thrown into entries
and down cellarways, and always receiyed
with contempt, or in so called advertising
sheets, which nobody reads. There isno
medium which comes into such close con-
tact with tho people rs tho newspaper |;
and II advertisers only understood their
business they would mako their part OF
the paper MS interesting as any other part
Of Il. In many Of the German papers ad-
vertising Is carried to an extent Of which
we have no idea. The newspaper Is the
real exchange. Everybody goes to It with
all his wants. and almost all his woes.
The consequence Is that the sheets arc
as lively rs neighborhood gossip, and on
On the pages devoted to advertising are
the best parts Of the paper; and tho papers
are read through. The announcements
are always short, always transient" and
one looks mt them In the morning to see
what tho world has to offer him that dsy,
by way of business or amusement. Per-
haps his next door neighbor has rare
piece of china or choice engraving to
sell, or he would like to get an odd num-
Der Of some serial, which you happen to
have; somebody, somewhere, announces
something that interests you, and so life Is
made more endurablc, trade Is quickened,
and wants are supplied. We look to SEQ
n more general use of tho advertising col
umns' Of newspapers in this country for all
the wants and queries Of life.-Haryord

Where did the Roses come from2

There Is m old legend that there werc
In tho Garden of Eden no roses but phne
ones until Eve tasted Of the forbidden
fruit. When tho roses saw her do this,
they blushed for shame, In every shade.
from the faintest damnsk TO burning red.
and ever since there have been all tho
lively tints that We sec.
A different story, however, Is told
which denies that there wero ever any
roscs Mt all In the world until. on ccr-
tain time, nj Bethlehem. there was =
beautiful young girl who was charged
with n crime, and sentenced 10 DO burn.
cd 70 death. They led her into field,
and piled iagots around her and sct them
on fire. But she being innocent, prayed
while they were burning that son,o won
derfnl thing might happen TO show that
she was innocent. And this u what hap
pcncd: all the fngvts which werc already
on fire werc changed Into bushes full OF
rcd roses, and those which had not kind
led turned 10 white ones, also full OF now-
ers. "And these" says an ancient writ
or, "werc tho first rose-trecs and roses,
both red and white, that ever any man
saw" And the country where this was
done abohnds with roses to this day.
Another story accounts for tho yarie-
gated kinds. Once there were thirty
years of miserable civil war In England,
growing out of quarrel between tho
two families OF York and Lancaster
about the right to the throne. Il was
a fierce and cruel contest, during which
some of tho best blood In tho country
was shed, and the noble families became
extinct. Tho whole nation became d.
vided. taking part with ono or tho other.
Each party had . symbol To be known by.
The house of Lancaster chose red rose,
which was worn by all Its adherents;
upon which, that of York took white
one. So famous did these emblems be-
come that tho war was known NIL over
Europe rs tho "War Of tho Roses" Tho
long strife ended ut last by q marriage
between son and daughter Of the RI
val families. And now comes tho marve-
lous part of the story; which is that, nj:
ter that, rcd and white roses appeared
growing on tho same bush. Sometimes
they were almost pure whits or unmixcd
with rod. but usually striped. mottlei.
or speckled In various and beautiful
ways. And ross quito common In oil
fashioned gardens, has been called, TO this
day, the .York and Lancaster rose"

The greatest wrong that can be done to
a man. Is to rob him Of reputation and
character through misrepresentation. and
he who does Il, sooner or later win pay
the penalty FAR greater than he who COM
mits the boldest Of larccnics. Every man
has in his own life follics enough; In his

American hay from Nebraska has been
selling In Liverpool for S25 ton.
II ha sheen ascertained that every bushel
Of raw corn yields ten pounds ofpork.
Farming rarely secures large fortunes,
but It does better by producing n vast
number of medium ones.
1t is said of the Hamburg fowls that not
one In four hundred manifests any desire
TO sit on her eggs, showing that the breed
has lost all maternal instinct.
The opium poppy has been successfully
cultivated in California, Vermont, Con-
necticut, and perhaps other States, and
the production of native opium may thus
be ranked among the industries of the
country.
A pig about five months old was discov-
cred sucking COW, ON the farm of Alex
Il. Ramsey. in Clark county. Kentucky.
He watched il afterwart for several days
and found il In the same performance.
The largest farm in England consists Of
5000 acres The live stock kept on the
farm Is valued at $4,000. Sheep are
claimed " be- the most profitable stock on
the farm. $4,000 being realized from
them annually.
Brick-dust. obtained by rubbing two
soft bricks together, is the best remedy for
lice on stock, says correspondent Of the
Western RurpI, that he ever tried. Sift
the dust evenly over the animal and work
1t well into and among the hairs.
A correspondent Of the Germantown
Telegraph SAYS he knows u iirst-class farm
or who cultivated his fcnce-corners, or
rather land which the plow would not
reach along The fences, In grass, and
found that the product met all tho expen-
ses, and his fields suffered very little from
weeds.
Poultry Bulletin, published by the New
York State Poultry Society. gives express
ion tn the following opinions. II Is ad.
visable to set n hen at night. and without
n light IL she be timid one. Eggs
sprinkled with water on the 18th, 18th,
and 20th days after they are set. will
rarely have dead chicks In them Mt the
end OF the time for incubation.
In regard to the Ayrshircs as dairy cows
the Massachusetts, PiOnqhmaa says; NO
body ever pretended that the Ayrshircs
were anything 10 brag Of In the way Of
butter. It as profitable for milk pro-
ducers on q milk or cheese farm that the
Ayrshircs have their place. and stand pre-
eminent for the economical production Of
milk. They are thrifty. hard, easy feed
ers. and In that consists their merit. The
quality of Brittany butter Is rs much sup
erior TO the Jersey In high flavor and
quality. as IL Is in quantity. II does not
look anv better. perhaps, or cut any finer.
but its flavor Is altogether SUPERIOR
A late number OF the Country Gentle:
man has an article on the Importance OF
n moro general cultivation OF corn He
says there are more reasons for growing
corn on large scale. and In all parts of
the country, than any other farm crop
even in those localities that arc especially
adapted to wheat. II says that In all
wheat countries rotation Is necessary.
and corn Is found to be one of the most
essential crops In rotation. Tho grain
Is needed for the team and stock. and
helps In making pork. while tho fodder Is
n great help in wintcring stock.
