To PRESERVE AUTUMN LEAVES.
First, gather the leaves from the
trees just as they are ready to fall,
or as soon as possible after they
have fallen ; press them immediate
ly for week or more until they are
perfectly dry. Get half q pound OF
yellow beeswax, put in tin vessel,
and place the vessel in spider con-
tanning little water, which must be
kept constantly boiling on the top of
the stove over steady fire. Take
each leaf by the stem and dip into
the hot wax. Once dipping is usu-
ally sufficient. If the wax gathers
on the edges, touch the places light
ly with the hot tin. The leaves dry
instantly, and all the bright, natur-
al colOrs are preserved, and will re-
main for a year. By piercing the
leaf near the stem with a doubled
thread wire you can weave them on
coarser wire or on large cord into
any description of garlands.

WHY AND How WE ADVERTIZE.

WHY AND How WE ADVERTIZE.
The merchant places his sign above
his door, and his goods in the Sho W
window, to attract the attention of
the passer by. He spends money
upon his sign, and is careful that it
shall be neat, tasty and attractive.
He spends time and skill in arrang-
ing his goods in his show window,
and himself passes backward and
forward on the outside to observe
the effect of the display.
The skiful merchant advertiseS
for this same reason-but to secure
larger influence, extending over a
wider territory. He makes his sign
end arranges his goods in his adver-
tiscment so that thousands will see
and read of them at leisure. While
the painted sign and the window
display are but glanced at and pas
sed, the newspaper advertisement
is in thousands of houses continual
ly, and fresh every week. The paint
ed sign is seen only by those who
come to town; while the advertise
ment is read by every member of
the family, and appeals to the wants
and desires of each.
No merchant can afford to neg
lect newspaper advertising. No de-
partment of his business will pay
him better returns for the time and
money invested. But advertising
must be done, as man arranges
his goods, with an eye to the tastes
and requirements of customers.
After a merchant has decided on
the method of his advertisement,
his next care should be how to bring
it to the attention of the most peO.
pie.
The numerous devices of direc-
tories hotel cards, pOst-otiice frames,
etc, are essentially humbugs, pro-
titable only to those who get them
up. The circular and handbill are
good, though the expense of cirula-
ton is cOnsilerable-it being fact
that their thorough distribution
costs very much more than their
production.
The most effective advertising is
done through the well cirulated
newspaper.-Aur0ra Beacon.

CHALK. 1t is odd to think thata
bit of chalk has to be brought all

fore it can make marks on your
walls but it is wonderful to learn
til at that bit of chalk is composed
of .elytra, or shells, of myriads of lit
tie animals, the globigerene, that
lived and died in the ocean, year af-
ter y ear, age after age, for Hmm
dreds of thousands of years, and
then, s,oliditying into compact rock,

WHEN so experienced a politician
as Vice President Wilson supposes
that the opening of party doors is
all that is needed to recall the alb
sentees Of a party, he shows how
naturally politicians may fall under
the influence of erroneous impress
siOns as to the nature Of party 10y
atty. When hundreds of thousands
of Democrats supported the war
measures of a Republican admins
tration, they did not ALLURE their
party principles, nor did the host Of
Republicans who stayed away from
the polls or voted with the Demo-
Gratis at the last State elections
change their political views. When
clearly defined political issues are
before the country, and parties are
irrevocably pledged to certain meas-
ures, full party votes may be ex-
pected; when either party, from ap-
parent requirements of self.prescr-
walton, shirks responsibility Or de-
votes itself to the duty ofproviding
for the personal necessities of hun
cry adherents, progressive men are
apt to seek their candidates else
where. Neither of our great politi-
cal parties can at present, even by
entirely removing their doors, call
back all their stray members, nor
will they have any better success by
framing platforms that will say all
things to all men, or by dodging uu-
pleasant issues. Platforms with
distinct avowals Of principle and
policy upon all the political issues
of the day, and candidates of whose
and force there is no more
doubt than of their party loyalty,
will cause such gathering of clans
as no fraternal Kindness and exhOr-
tation can ever bring about.-Chris.
