ADvERrIsrNe.- Judicious advertising al

ADvERTIsINa.--Judi advertising al
ways pays.
If you have a good thing, advertise it,
If you haven't, don't.
If you don't mean to mind your own bust
ness, 1t will not pay to advertise.
Never run down your opponents goods
In public. Lot him do his own advertising.
You can't eat enough in one week to
last whole year, and you can't advertise
on that plan either.
A large advertisement once, aud then
discontinued, creates the impression that
the man has fizzlcd
It's as true of advertising as of anything
else in the world-if it's worth doing at ALL
it's worth doing well.
Iniudicious advertising is like fishing
where there are no fish. You need not let
the lines fall in the wrong place.
If you can arouse curiosity by nm adver-
tisement 1t is a great point gained The fur
sex don't hold all the curiosity in the
world.
The people who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks can't
remember anything longer than about sew
en- days.
standing advertisement, oven though a
small one, is like sign over the store ;
ever in sight, and a constant suggestion TO
the public of something the public should
have, and the place to get it.

THE INsIeNIFIoANCE OF Our GLoBE.-
A book of essays, written by Richard A.
Proctor of Cambridge, has been published,
from which the following is taken:
"The fact is that, although when contem-
plating our solar system we are struck by
the evidence of adaptation to the wants of
living creatures, it is when we attempt 10
conceive the immensely of that space,
thronged with suns, which lies beyond the
solar system, that we are most powerfully
impressed with the conviction that there
must be other inhabited worlds. 1nsignii-
cant rs our earth undoubtedly Is when her
Dimensions are compared with the mag
nificent proportions of many of the other
planets, and still more when considered
with reference to the grandeur of the solar
system itself, we have far more startling
contrast to contemplate when we compare
the solar system with the dimensions of the
siderial scheme. From the nearest of the
fixed stars the orbit of Neptune would have
an apparent diameter scarcely equal to ono
sixth of the moons, and the orbit of the
earth would be but as a point. Even the
gigantic orbit of Neptune would seem but
point, as seen from many of the stars
which shine conspicuously in our heavens.
But the lucid stars, far off as they are from
us, are quite close in comparison with the
stars which come into view under the
searching eye'of the telescope. 1t has been
calculated that some of the stars, seen with
Lord Rosse's telescope shine from such an
enormous distance that the light takes up
wards of $4,000 years in travelling to us
from them. Now consider for n moment
the flight of light-ray from a star at this
distance on one side of our system to anoth-
er as far off on the opposite side. For l00,-
600 years the light speeds onward-cach
second sweeping over nearly 1000 miles;
past stars and systems it rushes on. but far
away on overy hand are other stars and
other systems to which it comes not near.
During 5000 generations of mortal men
out that time-the pulsations of the ether
are transmitted along the Tremendous line
which separates the two stars. Yet during
all that time-if we are to accept the opin-
ion of those who hold that our earth is the
only inhabited world-the onward rushing
light never approaches single spot where
sentient beings are to be found, save one
tiny globe, around which it could circle
eight times in one Of the seconds which
make up the vast period of its flight.

DANBURY NEwS-ODDITIES.-Tho most af-
fecting sight Danburian ever saw was two
hundred barrels in tiers.
The Danbury man who can't afford to
take a newspaper paid three dollars for an
other dog, Saturday.
1t is to be the fashion this season not to
offer wine to New Years callers. 1t is a
sensible fashion, and will, we hope, be gen
orally observed. Whiskey is just as good,
and doesn't cost one half as much.
A Danburian who was in New York on
Saturday came up with the wild statement
that he had seen hotel clerk with side
whiskers. That is more of a lie than one
should undertake to tell. Hair growing
on the cheek of hotel clerk Scat!
In the dramatic entertainment Friday
night, there was a moment, when Fred
Hemingway revealed himself, that an OPP
pressive hush fell upon the audience when
naught was heard but the murmur of the
disiointed peanut and the half suppressed
snap of the seductive lozenge.
Mr.. Hebron of Nelson street has signally
improved that avenue by setting up a hitch
ing post in front of his palatial residence.
This piece of statuary is of chestnut, and
received its graceful proportions and deli
cate finish from the well known Italian
saw mill of Ike Giddings, in Dumping
Hole district. 1t is painted yellow, and has
beautiful knob on the top. To the way
faring man it imparts a feeling of security
and rest that beggars description.
If you have occasion to use wheel bar
row leave it, when you are through with
it, in front of the house with the handles
toward the door. A wheelbarrOw is the
most complicated thing to fall over on the
face of the earth. A man will fall over one
when he would never think of falling over
anything else. He never knows when he
has got through falling over it, either; for
it will tangle his legs and his arms, turn
over with him and rear up in front OF him,
and just as he pauscs in his profanity to
congratulate himself, it takes a new turn
and scoops more skin off him, and he COM
mences to evolute anew, and bump him
self on fresh places. man never ceases
to fall over wheelbarrow until it turns
completely on its back, or brings up against
something it cannot upset. 1t is the most
inoflensive looking object there is, but it is
more dangerous than IA locomotive, and no
man is secure with one unless he has
tight hold of its handles, and is sitting
down on something. A wheebarrow has
its uses, without doubt, but in its leisure
moments it is the great blighting curse on
true dignity.

HEALTH AND TALENT.-It is no eXagcr-
alton to say that health is a large ingredient
in what tho world calls talent. A man
without it may be giant in intellect, but
his deeds will be the deeds of dwarf. On
the contrary, let him have quick circula-
ton, good digestion, the bulk, thews and
sinews of a man, and the aacrity, the I'M
thinking confidence inspired by these, and,
though having but thimbleful Of brains,
he will either blunder upon success or set
failure at defiance. 1t is true, especially in
this country. that the number of centaurs
in every communicate men in whom he
roic intelects are allied with bodily consti-
tutions as tough as those of horses-is
small that, in general, a man has reason
to think himself well Off in the lottery of
life, if he draw the prize of healthy stom-
ach without mind, or the prize of a fine
intellect with crazy stomach. But of the
two, weak mind in IIercuean frame is
better than giant mind in a crazy consti-
tuition. A pound of energy with an ounce
of talent, will achieve greater results than
pound of talent with an ounce of energy.
The first requisite to success in life, is TO be
good animal. In any of the learned pro-
LESSONS, vigorous constitution Is equal TO
at least fifty per cent. more brain. Wit,
judgment, imagination, eloquence, all the
qualities of the mind, attain thereby force
and splendor to which they could never APP
proach without il. But intellect in weak
body is ''like gold in spent swimmers
pocket" A mechanic may have tools of
the sharpest edge and highest polish but
what are these without a vigorous arm and
handP" OF what use is it that your mind
has become vast granary acknowledge, if
you have not strength to turn the key -

THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
The Khedive of Egypt is probably the
richest man in the world. His yearly income
is $50, 900, 900, and he has twenty-five richly
furnished palaces within the walls of Cal

the Sultan, his Turkish masters is rapidly
extending his dominions, building rail-
roads, and making commercial improve
monts, and will ultimately become indie
pendent of Turkish domination. lie is at

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thckened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
dcletcrious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

with the following report, which was adopted:

Grafton Of the subject. -
Mr.. Harris said that the member of the Coun-
Gil, in speaking of the matter, had thrown 70
much mystery around 1t as to lead the public to
suppose that great truth could be attached to it.
He considered him more culpable than any
several members expressed their views in
regard to the matter, and Mr.. Harris moved to
expunge from the record all reference to the
subject, but subsequently withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Champlin renewed the motion, and 1T was
lost.
THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Mr.. Harris offered a resolution providing for
the appointment of special committee 1.-THE
superintendent and one from each district) to
prepare rules and regulations for the organiza-
ton and government Of the normal school au-
thorized by an act of the Legislative Assembly;
to prescribe the course of study to be pursued
therein and fix terms for the admission and
graduation of pupils; the said rules and regu-
lations TO be submitted to the general board at
the meeting in August for approval or amend
ment.
Mr.. Champlin moved the reference of the
resolution to the committee on rules and text
books.
Pending this motion, the board adjourned to
Tuesday next.
