About Advertising.

There Is no season OF the year when
it is safe to discontinue advertising.
When business is dull it is needed
most, and should be most theoretically
used, because people are most attracted
at all times to the houses who take most
pains to invite their trade, and adver-
tisers then get the largest share of what
is going. t'r
"Dul times" it is said, "are the
best for advertisers. Because, when
money is tight and the people are forced
to economic, they always read the ad-
vertisements to ascertain who sells the
cheapest, and where they can trade to
the best advantage.
If your goods have special seasons,
build up name for them when out of
season; and that reputation will largely
aid your sales when the season arrives
for putting them into the market. If
no "pent up season limits the demand
for your wares, it is clear that there is
no time when you can judiciously with
draw from the public eye your announce
ment. .#r.oa
1t is as true of advertising as of any
thing else in the world-if it is worth
doing at all, it is worth doing WE'LL,

Fruit from Barren Trees.

A correspondent of the american
AgricuIturist says: I wish to describe
to you method of making fruit trees
bear that Numbered on. Some fifteen
years ago I had small apple tree that
leaned considerably. [ drove stake by
it, tied a string to limb and fastened it
to the stake. The next year that limb
blossomed full, and not another blossom
appeared on the tree, and, as Tim
Bunker said, sit sot me thinking"
and [ came to the conclusion that the
string was so tight that it prevented the
sap returning to the roots; consequently
it formed fruit buds. Having couple
of pear trees that were large enough to
bear, but had never blossomed, [ took o
coarse Irvine and wound it several times
around the tree above the lower limbs,
and tied it as tight as I could. The
next spring all the top above the cord
blossomed as white as sheet, and there
was not one blossom below where the
cord was tied. A neighbor, seeing my
trees loaded with pears, used this method
with the same result. have since tried
the experiment on several trees, almost
with the same result. I think it much
better way then cutting off the roots.
In early summer, say June Or July, wind
strong Irvine several times around the
tree, or single limb, and tie it, the
tighter the better, and you will be
pleased with the result; the next winter
or spring the cord may be taken off.

Six Millions.

About two years ago, DIR. J. Walker,
an old and prominent physician of Cali
fornia, discovered, by actual experience
upon his own system, medicine which
may honestly be termed ga boon to
suffering humanity" Being q combina-
ton of herbalistic extracts, pungent and
sour to the taste, and yet possessed of
gentle stimulative characteristics
although entirely free from alcoholic
named it Vinegar Bitters, and despite
the prejudice existing among his pro
fession against all patented medicines,
he determined to brave the ieers of his
brother practitioners, and give to suffer
ing humanity the benefit of his accidental
discovery. He did so, and the benefits
from its use became known. The de-
mand increased, and immense quantities
were sold, at merely nominal price.
Its merit is tod in the fact that " in two
years over six millions of bottles have
been sold;" and still the demand in
creases. Surely such man should be
ranked among the benefactors of the
human race. 97~ .A't o.

The Fourth of March,

1t has long been the popular belief
that, owing to the care expended in
choosing March 4th, as the date of the
Presidential inaugrations in the United
States, that ceremony will never have to
be postponed on account of March 4th
coming onSunday. The Springfield Re
publican, however, has made the in
teresting discovery that as the 4th of
March, 1877, will come on Sunday, the
next President cannot be inaugurated till
Monday, but President Grants and Vice
President Wilson's terms will expire on
Sunday, and 80 the President pro tenn.
of the Senate, Mr.. Ferry, of Mich, will
become President of the United States
during the interim, holding the office

A MOnstrOus Savage.

The champion savage of the age is
lying in the Glenwood Jail, Iowa. He
formerly lived near the little hamlet of
Red Oak, in that Suite. On the night
of the twenty frst of December, he re-
CURED his little daughter, who was
about ten years old, to recite her les
son to him. She was unable to- do SO
to his satisfaction, and he commenced
beating the child. This was about five
o'clock in the evening. He continued to
belabor her at intervals as his strength
would permit until about twelve o'clock,
when the poor bruised bleeding child
was put to bed. The morning came,
but not for her. The tortured spirit had
taken its last fight. She was dead. The
deed of cruelty could not be kept
secret. The neighbors learned all about
it, and forthwith the brute was seized
and carried to Jail, but the excitement
was so intense that it was with difficulty
the more considerate of the crowd col
lected could restrain the others from
hanging him to the most convenient
tree. Two years ago he chopped off
the fingers of his little boy in a fit of
anger, and usually occupied his leisure
moments in beating his wife.

Very Cold.

In 1928 the Mediterranean sea was en-
tirely frozen over. In 1920 Paris expert
enced so great cold that it was depopu-
lated. In 1869 wine was frozed SO hard
in France and Germany that it was cut
into blocks and sold by weight. Wine
coolers-if they had been invented then
must have deprecated in value that year.
In 1906 cattle froze in their stalls, and
the Seine could be crossed by heavy
carts. In 1909 mass was not said for
many weeks in certain provinces, so it is
stated, because the wine could not be
kept in fluid state. The winter of 174O
was one of extreme rigor in Russia, and
the famous ice palace was constructed al
st. Petersburg; 1865 and 1888 were
years of intense cold throughout Europe,
and in 1871 the mercury fell to six de-
grees below zero in Paris. JAZZ

Knowing that you are subject to a great
amount of suffering, that delicacy on your part
has strong tendency to prolong, and the
longer it is neglected the more you have to en-
dure and the more difficult of cure your case
becomes, l. as physician, who is daily con-
suited by scores of your SEX desire to say to
you that l am constantly meeting with those
who have been treated for their ailments for

until they have become perfectly discouraged
and have slmost made up their minds never to
take another dose Of medicine, nor be tortured
by any further treatment They had rather
die and have their suferings ended than to
live and suffer as they have. They say they
are worn out by suffering and are only made
worse by treatment. OF anything more dis
couraging, we certainly cannot conceive and
were there no more successful mode of treating
such difficulties than that the principles Of

vital forces of the system, when the indications

plorable indeed. But, lady sufferers, there is q
better and far more successful plan of treat
ment for youS one more in harmony with the
laws and requirements of your system. A
harsh, irritating caustic treatment and strong
medicides will never cure you. If you would
use rational means, such as common sense
should dictate to every intelligent lady, take
such medicines as embody the very best in

And so it is with peaches and pears, with

The Moon and the Earth.

IMAGINE how breathless the interest
with which we should have awaited each
revelation of the marvellous instruments
which science employs in the work of
lunarian discovery if our satellite had
been inhabited and we could have discov-
cred something like our own human life!
Unhappily, any such imagination is out
of the question. A place without air
and water, and in which the temperature
passes through range of nearly 700 de-
grees within fortnight, must present con-
ditions of which we cannot form any con-
ception. Another popularity which-to
our notions, atleast-wOuld be unpleasant
is supplied by the meteors. Here they are
a pretty spectacle; in the moon they can
not be seen, but they must, at times, at
least, keep up a very brisk cannonade.
I" As there is no atmosphere" write our
authors, " to consume the meteors by
FRACTIONAL heat, or break, by its resistance,
the velocity of their descent, they must
strike the moon with force to which that
of a cannon-ball striking a target is feeble
indeed" If these difficulties could be
removed the moon would be most eligi-
BILE place for the observation of astronom-
ical phenomena for finding out, for in
stance, all that we are so laboriously seek
ing to discover about the sun. The earth,
too, would present spectacle of extraor-
binary beauty.
"At this sunset time the earth, nearly in
the zenith of us (the supposed inner spec
tators) will be at its half-illuminated
phase, and even then it will shed more light
than we receive upon the brightest of
moonlight nights. As the night proceeds
the earth's phase will increase through
the gibbous stages until at midnight ii
will be full, and our orb will be seen in
its entire beauty. 1t will perform at least
one of its twenty four-hourly rotations dur
ing the time that 1t appears quite full 0he
night is more than three hundred hours
long, and the whole of its surface features
will in that time pass before the lunar
spectators eye. At times the northern
pole will be turned toward our view, a,
times the southern; and its polar ice-caps
will appear as bright, white spots mark
ing its axis of rotation. The seas would
appear las far as can be inferreD of pale
blue green tint, the continents parti-col.
ored, and the tinted spots would vary with
the changing terrestrial seasons. "-Lo7ado,
Spectator.
