BIG FIGURES. According to q cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who
fully investigated the subject, the average
receipts of the New York dailles for adver-
tising amount annually to SS,90S 900, OF
this sum the Herald receives upward of
$1,000 900, or about $1,000 day the Stats
Zeitung sS25. 900, the Times 81 AGO, 900.
and so on down to some of the more OBJ
scure sheets. none of which receive less
than 100000. The weekly papers take
nearly half a million annually as their
share of the advertising patronage, and
perhaps fully 81, 900, 900 in posters, circu-
lars. steamboat and street car advertising,
etc. The writers also show whence this
immense revenue comes and quotes the
following figures from the ledgers of some
of the leading business firms: A. L. Stew
art, for instance, is said to spend $500. 900
year for printers ink; Lord & Taylor
1926, 900; Arnold & Constable sl75 900 ::
Robert Bonner, 5000, 900 Bahbitt, the soap

every year about 100000 and all have
made their fortunes largely through this

THE DEEPEST WELL IN THE WORLD
At about twenty miles from Berlin is situa-
ted the village of Spernberg, noted for the
deepest well that has ever been sunk Ow-
ing to the presence of gypsum in the To-
cality, which is moderate distance from
the capital. it occurred to the government
al authorities of the mines to obtain sup
ply of rock salt. With this end in view,
the sinking of a shaft or well l6 feet in
diameter was commenced some five years
ago. and at depth of $50 feet the salt was
reached The boring was continued to the
further depth of $50 feet the diameter of
the bore being reduced to about thirteen
inches. The operations were subsequent
ly prosecuted by the aid of steam until
depth OF 4, 1874 feet was attained. At this
point the boring was discontinued, the
borer being still in the salt deposit, which
thus exhibits the enormous thickness of
3,907 feet.

A Mystery.

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
The river hemmed with leaning trees
Wound through its meadows green;
A low. blue line Of mountains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp. tall peak above them all
Clear into sunlight sprang:
l 50 y the river Of my dreams,
The mountains that sang!
No clue OF memory led me on.
But well the wavs knew;
A feeling Of familiar things
With every footstep grew.
Not otherwise shove its crsg
Could lean the blasted pine:
Not otherwise the maple hold
Aloft its red ensign.
So up the long and shorn foothills
The mountain road should creep.
So. green and low, the me sdow fold
Its red-haired kline asleep.
The river wound as il should wind;
Their place the mountains took,
The white, torn fringes of their Clouds
Wore no unwonted look.
Yet ne'er before the rivers rim
Was pressed by feet of mine,
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
\ presence, strange at once and known.
Walked with me rs my guide;
The skirts Of some forgotten life
Trailed noi,eless at my side.
Was 1t dim remembered dreams
Or glimpse through aons oldf
The secret which toe mountains kept,
The river never told.
But from the vison ere il passed
A tender hope drew.
And. pleasant as a dawn OF Spring,
The thought within me grew,
That love would temper every change.
And soften all surprise.
And misty with the dreams of earth.
The hills Of Heaven arise.

No cutting, no blistering, no anything,
but immersing the finger, hand, or even

hot as can be borne, until the pain is

produced wounds, the same course has
been pursued. If on the hand or foo
