The moaning winds of November
carrying sadness to our hearts and
high plug hats under country wagons,
are here. 1t behooves every man to
lake care of his health, and hang on
to his hat. But, ,..as some will be apttO
neglect their hats in their anxiety for
their health, we have thought fit to
give the following advice for their re-
covery: "When you feel your hat
Hitting, Immediately plunge your
hands into your hair and give it a
twist. This will attract the attention
OF everybody to you, and make you
feel as If you were not quite alone in
the world. Then, as soon as the hair
lifts from your eyes and enables you
to see your hat skimming along the
road, start for it. Don't trot after it,
but gallop, and while you gallop
emile. A smile goes a good ways on
such an occasion. 1t cuts off other
smiles by showing what an excellent
joke chasing q hat is, and that YOU
like H. Don't turn cut of the way for
other people. SOme of those you may
meet may not take that interest in
the affair q neighbOr should, and il
you can knock them down and step
on them they will become thoroughly
engrossed at once. As soon as you
see the hat stop imme lately
slacken your gait; you can renew Il
again as soon as it starts up: and
when you get right opposite TO it i'm
mediately prostrate yourself upon it,
and then get up and go for il again.
Never neglect 10 fall down upon it
when you can, as that gives the be-
holders better satisfaction, and at the
same time relieves the chase Of much
Of its moDOtOny. Don't forget your
smile. This is one OF the most at
trRctive features of the whole per-
formanee, and should not be omitted
on any consideration. The moment
you stop smiling, people will think It
is all an accident, and losing their
tempers will commence to gibe YOU.
When you have the hat fairly in your
reach, give it . good kick, and then
chase it again, and when you are sur
feited with the amusement, lam it
down on your head without smooth
ing your hair, and dart into the firt
store to warm yourself.

Get Strong harness and Bits.

Considering the lives OF those who
sit behind horses often depend on the
soundness of q bit or strap, it Is re-
markable how little attention is paid
to the condition Of harness by those
who trust themselves, not only In
strange carriages, but also in theil
own vehicles. An English journal,
devoted to the harness trade, after OBJ
serving that scarcely q day passes
without the occurrence of an accident
arising from bit breaking while In
the horses mouth, points out that
there are three ways OF making these
bits: One is to forge them throughout
of the toughest iron or of soft steel
the other is to use cast cheeks, and
forge the mouth pieces; while the
third is TO cast them throughout. The
first is the only method that should
be followed, but buyers will not pay
the prices asked, and manufacturer
cannot afford to sell them for less.
The wrought mouth Is the next best,
and If the cheek has been properly an
nealed, il makes q most servicable bit.
Cast cheeks, however, are not always
trustworthy, and the manufacturer Il
as likely to he deceived in this respect
as the buyer, The cast bit is one that
ought never 10 be used. Harness ms
kers should inform their customers Of
the quality of the article aud leave
the responsibility with the buyer. II
for the sake of the difference In price
between two kinds q man chooses to
risk his life by using the poorer bit,
neither the harness maker nor the bit
yoaDF,faofurara ahoulH ha hIanad
The bit and reins should always be Of
the strongest kind, no matter what
the merits Of the rest of the harness.

The cigar makers in New York city

The cigar makers in New York city

is q kind OF strike that nobody ought
to regret. It would be for the inter-

the land should abandon the business.
More petty thieves are made through
till pilfering for purchase Of cigars,
more dyspeptics are made by cigars,
more inebriates are helped on their
way to death by cigars, and more
men break down in their nervous sys-
tenn in middle age through excessive
use Of cigars, and more money Is use

charged to any other one extrava-

him take q clean, fresh. clay pipe and

Hints on NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
Locals.

No business man can achieve great
success without advertising. Fine
stores, good merchandise and low
prices will always attract q certain
amount of custom; but these alone
are only partial means to an end.
Buyers must be reached, their atten-
ton attracted; their interests excited
and their necessities appealed to, II
you would have lively market. Va
rious devices are employed to effect
this. But above and beyond them all
is newspaper advertising. The daily
and weekly journals go to the. homes
and places of business of everybody.
They lie in wait for customers by the
fireside, in the Office, the public con-
veyances, and wherever men resort,
and sooner or later the persistent ad.
vertiser In them reaps his reward. II
he has goods of use or ornament to
sell, he famillariZes the reader with
the fact. To-day, tomorrow, or next
week, his wares are sure to be want
ed, and the purchaser naturally goes
to him who makes his business q
household word through the newspa-
per. Therefore, advertising TO be sue
cessful, must be persistent and con-
tinuous. If you are only able to
spend fifty or one hundred dollars q
year in advertising, you had better
devote at least one-half of the sum to
q regular advertisement or card as
large or small as 1t will pay for and
the balance to special advertising or
''local notices. at the opening Of
your season." or when you have spe-
cial advantages to offer your custom.
ers. The standing advertisement
which you keep in the paper all the
year round keeps you before the at
tentiOn of the readers of paper, for
all that time, far better, than the sign
over your store attracts the attention
of passers-by, and when they want
anything in your line they are apt to
remember you, from having seeu
your name in their paper. Ten
chances to one, therefore, they Will
come to you and make their pur-
chases,. because having seen your
name so often it begets in them GER
tain amount of familiarity with 1t
that is sure to give you the preferences
in their minds over a stronger, that
they have seldom or never seen OF

tiser is, certain amount of advertis-
ing all the time, and twice thai
amount in your particular season.

Why Silver Is 50 Cheap.

Silver has been so long out of prae-
tieal use as = circulating medium in
this country that 3 great deal of won
der has been expressed that in the
midst OF the recent panic IL should
have been found so abundant and
cheap. A few facts concerning the
supply aud consumption Of silver will
explain what seems remarkable. 1t is
8 well known fact that India is the
point Of ultimate absorption for both
gold and silver coin. The vast popu-
lation of that immense realm attracts
and absorbs q certain quantity of spe-
Gle each year, which, being reeoIned,
never gets into the circulation of the
world again. MOneyed men in Eu-
rope understand the exact extent Of
this drain and provide for it. During
the past year Germany being flooded
with specie from the French indem-
nifty payments, has demonetized sil-
yer, that is, deprived it of current val
ne as German coin. This mas thrown
into market q great quantity of silver
more than enough to I'LL the de-
mand of India-so that the ordinary
drain upon the United States (the us
ual source of supply fo- all the worldl
| is for this year, at least, cut off. At
the same time the product of our
mines has trebled silver bullion and Is
piled up about the mines of Utah,
Colorado and Nevada literally in
cords where 1t can be bought by the
car load at eighty cents currency per
standard ounce, or about ninety-eight
cents to the dollar, leaving two cents
for the cost Of transportation and
coinage and still keeping the cost Of q
silver dollar within the par value Of q
greenback one. AT the same time
Americans have flooded to the mines
of Mexico, and by the superior energy
and enterprise and the use OF improV-
ed methods in mining and refining
have raised the silver product OF Mex
leo to so, ,000,0 a year, more than
the production of the most prosperous
years under the old Spanish proprie-
tors. The consequence is, that the
markets of this country are fairly
glutted with silver, mostly in the
| form of bullion. The arts and manu-
factures use enormous quantities, but
with all their activity they can use
only about twenty per cent. Of the
product, leaving eighty Per cent. to
be stored or shipped to other coun-
tries. Now, that the foreign demand
has been suspended for time, the
treasury has only to set all the mints
to work, and within three months the
country can haYe "hard money" to
its hearts content. The amount now
on hand, added to six months prod
uct OF the mines, would, If coined.
load down the pockets OF the entire
nation. But who wants silver when
they can get greenbaeks

THE EARTH TO BE USED.

Mr.. Moule very tersely says: " The earth-closet
will no more work without dry earth than a water
closet viii work without water" That is to say, the
apparatus is intended to cover an offensive material
with Que that will render it inoffe0s;ve. The water
in a water-closet is intended TO wash the offensive
matters away, and the earth IN the earth-closet is in
tended to cover them up, and to absorb their odors.
In either case the corrective agent must be present,
or its effect will not be produced. The following di-
rections should be observed:
l. The earth for use in closets must be dry: not
necessarily dried by artificial heat, but made as dry
as it can be, by exposure to the air and by the exclu-
sion Of rain.
2. 1t must contain enough alumina CLAY or organic
matter, or oxide Of iron, 20 give it sufficient
absorbing power.
3. 1t must be sifted ofits stones and coarser par
ticles
A. If the earth is to i be again used, its organic mat
must be destroyed by fermentation, aud its moisture
evaporated.
In stating that the earth must be dry, absolute
dryness is not intended. The earth of the closet will
always contain what moisture may be absorbed from
the atmosphere. This, and even a little more than
this, [ have found TO be not at all Objectionable. What
is required is, according to Professor Joy, that SO much
, 1873-08-30

there is a device which at each use throws forward
into the hOd the requisite quantity of earth, and is
worked either by the pulling of a handle at the side
of the seat, e. pull Up" variety,) or On the "selt-act-
ing" Variety by the dropping Of the weighted levers,
when the person is raised from the hinged seat. A
view Of the skeleton machinery is sho Wn in Fig. 2.
In privies and fixed closets precisely the same
mechanical part, including the hopper, is used but a
larger reservoir, holding any desired quantity of earth,
IS built above the hopper, and a larger receptacle,
sometimes even a vault in the ground, takes the place
ofthe bod that is used in the commOdc. Sometimes
there is used for this purpose a galvanized iron box
on wheels, which may be drawn out to be emptled.
The capacity of this box is from one to two bushels,
enough for from one hundred to two hundred uses OF
the closet.
When a closet can be so arranged as to have lis
deposits dropped into a vault in tho cellar, q stationa-
ny pail, with a hinged bottom, takes the place of the
bod. This can be- emptied from time to time, by
lifting a handle connected by a rod with a movable
bottom. If the closet is on an upper floor Of the
house, the bottom of the pail opens into IA galvanized
iron pipe, conveying its contents to the vault in the
cellar. A more full and copiOusly illustrated account
of all these drains than it would be possible to give
here may be found in a pamphlet on the subject, pre-
pared in 1902 A cheaper form of commode New

for use in bedrooms, in the sick chamber, and gene

vantage of not showing, by its form, the purpose for
which it, is intended. The prepared earth~-say
enough for ten uses--is contained ip. the cover, which
is so arranged as to separate the requisite change of

New Court HOUSE AT ST. ALBANs.-
Franklin county has long needed new
Temple of Justice, or what Is more COM
monty known as Court House. The one
that has been used from time immemorial
has long been out of all decent repair and
too small to accommodate even the lawyers
who reside there So last fall movement
was set on foot, principally by st. Adams
men, to begin operations for a new House.
A bill was proposed for introduction into
the Legislature and its passage was finally
effected, after some considerable strife in
reference to the location, many wishing it
to be removed to Sheldon, and even some
ST. Adams taxpayers complaining at the
great cost of the same if located in their
village, were willing any other town should
have it. Judge Royce and few other in
fluential men were jealous in their efforts,
and finally won the day. After its settle
ment by the Legislature, the town of st.
Adams voted by a rather close ballot, to
appropriate the sum of SIC. 200 out of their
own pockets for its erection. The result
will probably be that the county will have
one of the best buildings for Court purposes
in the State. The old building has already
been torn down, and its successor is fast
becoming matter of reality. 1t is to be
OF brick, two stories in height, and 5Gx93
feet i'll Dimension. There are to be rooms
for the Probate Court, Town Clerks office,
and jury rooms, beside the principal Court
room. The latter is to be 4Sx51 feet in
size and 90 feet in Knight, and is to have a
ladies gallery and a fine, spacious rostrum,
all of attractive designs and finish.
1t is expected the building will he COM
plcted in season for the holding of the
September term of Court in 1874, and it is
understood that the probable cost will be
about 100000.

Capt. Tyson an Adyentnrcr.

New YORK, May 90.
A New York gentleman who has been
connected with shipping house in New
London, Conn, which formerly employed
both Capt Tyson and Capt. Buddington,
says Capt. Tyson, six years ago, was the
principal in an adventure singularly like
that of the Polaris. He was in command
of the schooner Era on Il whaling voyage
from New London to Greenland. In the
fall of the year, while lying in Cumberland
Sound, the vessel broke from her moorings
and he was obliged to abandon her with all
his crew of twenty-four men, taking with
him stores and provisions. Making his
way to shore with the crew, he built tents
of sails taken from the vessel, and lived
under them during the entire Winter. His
vessel was five miles from the shore in the
pack ice. without anchorage all the time
When the ice broke up in the Spring, on
seeing that the ship was not seriously Cam
aged, he regained it, filled it with oil and
returned to New London. Tyson is brave,
dashing captain, who will expose his YES
sci to the danger of any Arctic Winter up
to the very last moment of safety, and will
often accomplish brilliant results. Bud
dington, on the other hand, is a careful and
calculating Yankee, who is noted FOR his
scrupulous uald;anship of property and
lives under his charge. HIS New London
neighbors are reported to have predicted.
when the expedition started that Budding
ton would bling beck his vessel and crow
in safety, and that scientific results.would
be subordinatct, so far as he was concern
ed, to this end. But the story that he de-
liberately abandoned nineteen helpless hu-
man beings to their fate is not credited.
He is man of family and experience. lie
is deemed incapable of any such cruelty.
Both of the men are old whaling captains,
and have made eight or ten voyages each.
Capt. Buddington brought into New Lon
don the Resolute, one of Sir Il. Belcher's
expedition, which was abandoned May 10,
1854, not far from Reechy Island. Capt.
Buddington was then on a whaling voyage.
The impression is general among shipping
men that the Poiaris is safe.
