Throwing Money Away.

How is it, with the Hotel Albums"
Strangers Guides" and such like vol
umes introduced to the merchant by the
supple young solicitor, as the
greatest medium Of me age or the grand
est advertising scheme ever projected. "
1t is true that the merchant is pro-
missed circulation of from five to ten
thousand and a copy gratis to every
hotel" But is the promise kept are
thousand copies printed? five hun
bred, one hundred? The advertiser
has no means of knowing. It is too Of
ten the case that such schemes are ad-
vertising traps which the merchant en-
tiers blindly. In the newspaper every
facility is offered him in ascertaining
the strength and the probable value Of
his investment, while at the same time,
the newspaper must send its issue to its
various subscribers who pay for it and
are bound to read it. But supposing
the volumes referred to are to be found
in all the hotels who reads them ?
You see hundreds of people in hotel
parlors with their newspaper, but how
many look over the old, d~ilapidated
margin-scribbled "Guide to Stan-
gers? ?" The moment such a work is
published it becomes old. The matter
and the pictures are already obsolete
before the last advertiser pays in.
Have these the influence of the family
newspaper, choicest of household gods ?
Probably not. The "Hotel Album"
if its publishers promises are kept, is
sent to divers hotels. Suppose for a
moment that strangers read them, of
what advantage is it as compared with
the paper which strikes the very heart
center of those from whom the mer-
chant expects his trade? And, last of
all, the Album" gives him but one in
sertion. One insertion for perhaps a
hundred dollars. The same amount
would make the merchants nam a
household word in the community from
which he draws his best custom; custom
that he can look after among people he
knows something about. The question
then arises, "Why do merchants waste
money in this kind of advertising?"
Perhaps the merchants could best tell
us, if they w~ould.-NewSpaper Re

The Value Of Work.

What is your secret of success ?"
asked a lady of Turner, the distin-
guished painter. He replied, Il have
no secret, madam, but hard work. "
Says DIR. Arnold, "The difference be-
tween one boy and another is not so
much in talent as in energy" "Noth-
ing says Reynolds, sis denied we'll
directed labor, and nothing is to be at
tanned without it" Excellence in
any department" says johnson, "can
now be attained only by the labor of a
lifetime it is not to be purchased at a
lesser price" "There is but one
method says Sydney Smith, "and
that is hard labor, and a man who will
not pay that price for distinction, had
better at once dedicate himself to the
pursuit of the fox" "Step by step"
reads the French proverb, Zone goes
very far" Nothing" says Mirabeau,
dis impossible to the man who can will.
Is that necessary 2 THAT shall be-.
This is the only law of success" "Have
you ever entered a cottage, ever Travelled
in a coach, even talked with a peasant in
the field, or loitered with a mechanic
at the loom," says Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton, "and not found that each of
those men had a talent you had not,
knew something that you knew not?"
The most useless creature that ever
yawned at a club, or counted the YER
min on his rags under the suns OF Gala
bria, has no excuse for want Of intellect.
What men want is not talent, it is pro-
pose; in other words, not the power to
achieve, but the will to labor. I am no
believer in genius, but | believe that la
Dor, ludiciously and continually applied,

Foreign and Home Food.

We are living we'll in Vienna, not
withstapding the great Injuries of the
season in America are almost unknown
here. Good meat, well cooked, sweet
and crisp bread, the best made coffee in
the world, sweet butter and good beer
always be had in Vienna. OF course,
any one can live well upon these solids
and s%ubstantials, and to those who know
no better, they are the summing up of
human happiness. That anything else
should be wanting is regarded as ridicu-
lous, and when an American undertakes
to describe the variety of human food
that tempts the palate in his famed
land, it is received with a shrug of the
shoulders, expressive partly of doubt
and partly of disgust that any one
should want to eat such things. The
Niennoise regards fruits as unhealthy,
and most of them will never venture
further than to eat a half-dozen cherries.
There are peaches here, but they are
very poor, and merely sold from the
fruit stands. There are also plenty of
apricots, which no one seems to care
about. Last evening, at the Reidhoff,
while the merits of the food of different
countries was being discussed, and The
several Americans present were describ-
ing a number Of our special Injuries, a
Cuban gentleman, who had been roam
ing over The world for the past EIGHT
years, and had resided much of his
time in America, was appealed to, when
he delivered himself in substance about

beef and mutton in the world, with
good ale, go to London for them if
you desire the best pastry and fancy
dishes, go to Paris for them; if You
prefer the substantials, we'll cooked and
served, and the best made coffee and
excellent beer, come to Vienna for

tials to good living combined, together
with soft crabs, oysters, terrapins, can

The MIRACLE OF GENIUS. We can
never prophesy the exact limits of intel.
lectual power. History warns us against
doing SC. The genius of Plato was
naturally evolved from the capacities of
the Pelasgic race. But who in Homer's
time could have conceived the possible
ty OF Platonism? 1t would have been
a revelation-strange enough-in the
heroic age. Cultivation prepares the
way for him, however, and Plato comes,
the perfection of Grecian genius and, by
a singular law, at the declining moment
OF Grecian inspiration. It would have
been unwarrantable presumption in the
time Of Copernicus to have denied the
possibility of an intellect like Newton's.
Every genius is an impossibility till he
appears. There are never facts enough
In human experience to serve as a basis
for safe induction as to the mental ca
pacity OF man. We cannot reach the
law that governs the development of
genius. Two centuries before his time
Shakespeare was a poetic miracle he is
a poetic wonder still. From the average
powers of boys at ten, it would seem
monstrous that there should be heads
like those of Zerah Colburn and young
Stafford. They appear like new planets
taking a wider sweep in the universe of
mind and the limits of human nature
are carried out IT Starr King.

A RUSSIAN EDITOR. Russia has as
yet prouced but one great journalist,
NJ. Katoff, editor and proprietor of the
Moscow Gazette, which has a daily cir
culaiion of 10000 copies. He is still a
comparatively young man, and his edi-
torial sanctum is sua ptuously fitted up,
after the best American establishments.
There is a library of ten thousand vol
umes, speading-tubes to every part of
the buildsng, a telegraph Office, and
also a genuine Russian pechliarity, a
room for the Offices of police, to whom
all articles are submitted previous to
publication. The presses are of the
largest kind, made in New York. AT
first he was disguised with his own ed.
i~torials, but his young wife urged him
to perservere, which he did to crafty
her, sometimes rewriting his articles
half a dozen times. Ten years ago he
was a very poor man. Now he is a
millionaire, and the imperial govern
ment at st. Petersburg respects and
fears him.

Brown SUGAR DRTY.-But it sur
prised us to see your correspondents
recommendation to use brown sugar in
the preparation of food. I queried
whether she had ever seen the process
of the manufacture and refining of SUI
gar. Does she know that brown sugar
means, simply and solely, moist and
dirty sugar? Does she comprehend the
quality and nature of the dirt which
constitutes its BROWNIES ? Does she
know that pure loaf, crushed or granu-
lated sugar is not only perfectly free
from dirt and is incapable of adultera-
ton, but is much cheaper, pound by
pound, even at the slight additional
price usually charged for it, than brown
sugar of any grade, because you buy no
art or moisture, but pure saccharine
matter? Does she know that the notion
that brown sugars are sweeter than
white is a pure fancy, and that the con-
trary is true? / suppose we are each
and all destined to eat u peck Of dirt
sooner or late, but there is dirt-and
save MS from the dirt that
makes brown sugar brown. Cor.

CAN IT BE TRUE?-Within the last few
months q considerable number of per-
sons have called upon DIR. Walker, the
proprietor of the popular medicine
known as Vinegar Bitters, and assured
him that, in their belief, his preparation
is an infallible antidote for rum and to-
bacco. The minute details which have
been furnished him forbid him to
doubt the accuracy of the statements.
This new claim of a great remedy to the
confidence of the public will give a vast
and w~ell-deserved impulse to its popu-
larity. Heretofore the Bitters have
been recognized as a pure vegetable
tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol,
and thoroughly adapted to the cure. of
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous
disorders, bilious affections, muscular
diseases, and, indeed, q majority of the
ailments within the reach of medicine /;
but # it will also cure the cravings for
liquor and tobacco, philosophers, states
men and theologians ought to unite
their voices in its praise. Can the good
news be true? II is easy to test the
question.

French Cookery,

1t must be owned with a pain which
must be deeply felt by many middle
aged persons of comfortable means and
a wish for culinary enioyments that
French cookery has wofully fallen off
in the present generation. The Anglo
mania which ragged throughout the Sc
cond empire spoiled it, and the modern
Frenchman turns with an unholy fire
for raw meats and crude vegetables. He
gets his first appetite toward noon, takes
a dozen oysters when they are in season,
or an enormous slice of melon peppered
and sailed when they are not, as whet,
and then goes in to the serious bust
ness of his breakfast, which comprises a
mayonnaise of salmon, an enormous beef
steak, which he calls a MGteou6riond,
and a trife in the way Of a solid slice,
an inch thick, of boar's head and pistac-
chic nuts, with a quarter of a pound of
cheese and a stack of fruit, or a raw
a%rtichoke, soaked in oil and vinegar, to
lay on the top of it. After this impress
sive ceremony he is hardly ready with
another appetite till 7.3O o'clock. 1t is
a harsh judgment, but a true one, to
say that the French, who were once so
sober and tasteful in their diet, have
become the largest eaters and drinkers
in the world. They are eating and
drinking all day long, especially when
they are out for amusement, and the
consequent fairness of French men,
women and children is as general as it
is grievous to witness. Cor. ~ Y
