There are said to be $4,000 drummer
sent out OF New York city alone. These
average at least 81 800 in salary and
commissions, or $37, 500, 900 paid to the
whole number in salaries. If to this
we add their travelling expenses, 81 per
gay, and estimating they are upon the
road 100 days during the year, we have
an item OF $4,000, 900 more, and an ag.
gregate OF $50 100000, which is added
10 the price of goods sold. As there
are about 100000 retail stores in the
country which the goods eventually
reach, we md every dealer taxed Sl75

der certain circumstances it is an
absolute necessity. In introducing a
new article to the attention of the
trade, or new or improved package or
manner OF putting up goods, in special
ties generally, or whatever cannot be
described intelligibly, or understood
clearly, without seeing the article. then
such course becomes indispensable,
and an advantage to both buyer and

vantage of both parties. Leading firms
in every line of business, who have
hitherto refused to make known their
business in any other way except
through the expense of maintaining a
dozen or more drummers" securing
the country. have dispensed with their
services and returned to system of
Judic'ous advertising, which cannot fail
to be highly remunerative. Those who
have tried the two systems are loud in
THEN praises of the latter method. A
firm laboring under the necessary heavy
expenses of maintaining dozen sales
men at a cost of $4,000 to $4,000 per
annum, cannot afford to sell its goods at
as low figure as firm whose expenses
are reduced by the same amount

The beneficial effects of this valuable preparation

IT is sometimes important to separ-
ate silver and copper when the precious
metal is in proportionally small guam
titity. To do this without being at the
expense of dissolving all the copper at
the same time, is matter of considera-
bic economical consequence, and it is
reported that it has been done in Cali
fornia. a mixture of nitric acid, six
parts, with sulphuric acid, one part,
used at temperature of 1902 FAIR,
will dissolve the silver, while the cop

TWENTY. NINE years ago Mr. Sylvester
Ravens of Hartford, injured his right
eve by small piece of steel that flew
into 1.-THE result Of blow. Gradually
the eye began to loose the power OF
sight, and finally, many years after the
accident, sight was gone altogether.
Thus il continued for fourteen years,
causing no pain. Six weeks ago, how
ever Mr.. Haven was troubled by a
swelling in the inside ofthe right nos
tril, which he at length punctured, and
from il came out little bit of steel, of
course, the identical peice that had en-
tered his eye twenty. nine years ago.
The sore healed, but very soon the left
eye began to loose the power of sight,
and as occulists assured him that it was
the result of sympathetic action from
the nerves of the other eye, he deter
mined to have the sightless right eye re.
moved from its socket. This was done,
and the sufferer is now in a darkened
room, waiting for the time when a glass
eye can be inserted. Curiously enough,
any ray of light that enters the apart
ment pains the empty socket of the de-
parted eye. Even a picture with gilt
frame had to be turned face to the wall,
the reflection of the gilt frame in the
dark room being painfully perceptible.
This senitiveness, however, is rapidly
wearing off,

ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due 10 merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. a. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,

RATION for its intended purposes"

In TITUsvILLE they have currency
which cannot be counterfeted by the
Photographic process or the engravers
art. 1t is oil. The small change is de-
nominated gallons, from which it ranges
to barrels, hogsheads, tanks and wells.
No account whatever is made Of the
scent. When man has four or five
hundred wells he is generally consid-
cred we'll off, and "barrelsful of oil" is
the synonym of "pocketsful of rocks
in the mining regions. 1t is customary
to speak of the fashionable young lady
as wearing an eighty-six barrel opera
suit, and when boy wants to have his
teeth plugged he gets requisition on
the "old man. for couple of barrels
of oil. The system seems to work very
smoothly. The effect Of the flow of
currency to the commercial cities is
neutralized by the constant flow from
the pumps.
