the complexion" said Mrs. Bib,
holding up a small bottle for Mrs.
Darlington to look at. She looked up
from toeing out a wooden sock for
Ike, and took the bottle in her hand.
lis it, indeed ?" said she. "Well,
they may get up ever so many ros-
trums for identifying the complexion,
but, depend upon it, the less people
have to do with bottles for it, the
better. My neighbor, Mrs. Blotch,
has been using bottle for good
many years for her complexion, and
her nose looks like rupture Of
Mount Voeiferous, with the burning
lather running all over the conta.
gious territory"

Geo. 7. Rowell Il Co, of New York
DO the largest advertising business
of any firm in America. From the
July number OF their AduertiSer's Ga
@efte, we take the following very
sensible suggestions to advertisers
Daily papers usually contain more
advertising matter than weeklies,
while in the latter, from the form OF
their pages, an advertisement is mole
likely to be seen than in q monthly,
where they are generally grouped
into pages by themselves, and not
seen unless the reader Intentionally
examines them.
1T it is desirable to reach the in
habitants of particular State, the
localsor so-called country papers of
that State must be used Thus very
little circulation is wasted, nine
tenths Of all the copies printed being
taken by subscribers within a radius
ola few miles of the office of publica-
ton.
10 reach farmers, use the agricul-
tural and country papers. Almost
every intelligent farmer takes the
paper printed in his county town.
TO reach young people and the ladies,
the literary or story papers are the
best.
VALUE or CIRCULATION.
As rule, a newspaper is valuab lie
to an advertiser in exact proportion
to its circulation; but this rule is
modified in several ways. For in
stance, paper with but little adver-
Using gives that little greater prom
|inence a we'll printed paper natu-
aally gives greater prominence to its
contents than ole badly printed
The INFLUENCE OF q paper has some
thing TO do with its value as an
advertising medium, and paper
that is purchased because it is want
cd is much more likely to benefit an
advertiser than one that is given
away this is the reason why expert
enced advertisers look with so little
favor upon mere advertising shee Is,
intended for gratuitous distribution.
HOW LARGE TO MAKE AN ADVERTISE
MENT.
An advertisement is OF value not
in proportion to its size, but in ac-
cordance with it's PROMINENCE AND
THE COMPLETENESS WITH WHICH 1T
EXPRESSES AN IDEA. The mystery
OF writing advertisements consists
mainly in saying in q few plain
words exactly what it is desired to
say precisely as it would be written
in letter or told TO an acquaintance.
Let the prominent line be so arrang-
cd as to catch the eye Of the class Of
persons likely to be interested.
When this is done, the rest will be
read, although set in small type.

About Milking.

Five per cent, and perhaps ten
can be added to the amount of milk
obtained from the country, If the fol-
lowing rules are inexorably follow
ed.
LIST. Never hurry cows, in driy-
ing to and from the pasture.
I'd. Milk as near at equal inter-
walls as possible. Halfpast five ia
tho morning and six at night are
good hours.
Sd. BE especially tender of the
COW at milking time.
18th. When seated, draw the milk
az rapidly as possible, being certain
to always get it all.
9th. Never talk or think Of any
thing beside what you are doing
while milking.
9th. Offer some caress, and al.
ways a soothing word when you APP
proach u COW and when you leave
her. The better she loves you, the
more free and complete will be her
abandon as you sit at her side.
We append the not uncommon
practice:
1st. Let some boy turn the COWS
away, and get Thorn, who is fond of
throwing stones and switching the
hind ones every chance he gets.
I'd. Milk early in the morning and
late at night, dividing the day into
two portions, one Of fifteen hours
and the other nine.
Sd. Whack the COW over the back
with the stool, or speak sharply to
her if she does not $50" or "hoist."
ith. Milk slowly and carlessly, and
stop at the first Stacking of the fluid.
9th. Talk and laugh, and perhaps
squirt milk at companion mixers,
when seated at the COW.
9Th. Keep the animal in tremble
all tho time you arc milking, and
when done give her q vigorous kick
Hearth and Home.
A SINGULAR BATTLE.-The Geneva
Courier says We witnessed q bat
tie the other day so singular in it's
nature Us TO deserve mention. On
one Of our principal streets, robin
had built it's nest in a tree. In the
nest were three or four eggs, which
tempted the appetite of a squire
who CHANGED to spy them. He made
raid on the nest, and was Just about
preparing for sumptuous feast
when the proprietor Of the invaded do
micil arrived. Seeing what was go
ing on, the robin made dive at tht
squirrel, inhictlng wound with hn
beak. Then ensued ono Of the mos
lively scrimmages ever Witnessed
Up and down the tree with the rap
ldity oflightningr ran tho squirrel, thC
robin in hot pursuit. From one lint
and branch 10 another, they darted
both chattering and chirping in the
utmost excitement. The robin would
ty oil rod or 80, and then dart, like
an arrow from bow, for the SOUR
rel, inilicting telling wounds. 1t was
soon evident that the squirrel wa
getting tho worst OF il, and h,
thought SO too, for he finally forsooI
the tree for the ground, and beat /;
hasty retreat. He didn't allow mucl
grass to grow under his feet as h,
made tracks for safe quarters. Til,
robin, apparently satisfied with ha Z
ing driven her antagonist from tn,
field, did not give further pursuit
bat returned to her nest in very
illustrated state. Her victory wa
signal, and she is doubtless now re
hecting over it with selfsatisfe,
equanimity.

Plots for the assassination of the Emperor and
Prince Imperial are proved to have been among
the dark designs of the "irreconciIables, -
these sentences appear mild indeed, but thew
may be the result Of either prudence or con-
seious power, and not Of clemency, as the press
law offenders are not let OFF so easily.

Mobile has had a lively contest between two
rival Mayors, both of whom insisted on govern

the Judge, Elliot by name, sent one of the aspi-
rants to prison and the other to the Mayors of
hee. The woaid-be Mayor, from his cell, trans
m''ted a bill of exceptions to the Judge, who.
evidently tired of the litigation, put the paper
IN his pocket and left Mobile in the undisputed
possession of one Mayor.

As was stated in The STAR OF yesterday would
be the case, the House Military Committee yes-
terday reported in favor Of the expulsion of Mr..
WhittemOre, Of South Carolina, for selling a
cadetship- The investigations of the Commit
tee have developed some unpleasant instances
OF moral obliquity, and will serve more particu
larry to give point to the allegations heretofore
made that somt of the new members from the
South are . good deal ''on the make, finan-
cially rs well a. politically. The developments
concerning the manner i'm which cadetship ap
pointments have been made matter of regular
bargain and sae, BY which they 90 to the parties
with the largest purse, will quite certainly be
made available Of as an argument by the oppo-
nents Of the Military Academy and Naval
School. We have no idea that it will serve to
endanger those schools, but the result will prob
ably be to place the appointment business upon
. healthier footing.
Probably the best way to guard against the
demoralizing business of buying and selling
appointments, just exposed, will be to provide
by law what is now practiced by many conscien-
uous Congressman, 1. G. the giving of the ap-
pointments to West Point or Annapolis to the
young men in each Congressional District who
prove themselves best qualified on public exam
