Success In AdCertjsaalg.

In times past it was thought immodest to
proclaim the excellence OF ones goods, OF to
illicit patronage for them in new spapers.
During the tast twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade, it has be
come necessity. The public are always
desirous to avoid all frauds, as they have
become skeptical OF an article possessir 8
genuine merit. and are particularly preju-
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful mcdine without
character or worth. Still the public are
grateful TO manufacturers or inventors of ar
ticles Of merit, even il known as medicines !;
many of them are the result of years Of care
full study by our most eminent chemists and
productions as Quinine, Chloroform, Chloral
Hydrate, Porous plasters, &c.
Success In advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth OF the article it; elf even
though it be medical preparation. As an
evidence OF this, celebrated physician OF
New York made n great Improvement in Por-
Gus Plasters by adding CAPCINE on account
OF its giving Increased effect and quicker re.
lief and cure than any known medicical
fearing his reputation would be injured. A
firm of Pharmaceutical Chemists in his city
learning of this decided improvement made
an arrangement with this physician and com
menced advertising in the best newspapers
in a short time the saie increased from hun
dreds to thousands until now the sale Of
BENSoN'S CAPCINE PLASTERS is exceedingly
large and daily increasing. They can be OBJ
tanned of any Druggist az p cents each.

Cutting off the Congressional?
Lemonade.

The Washington Star says: Before
"Uncle Jimmy" Williams was made
chairman of the House committee on
Accounts it was customary on such
seething days as these which have
now come upon us, to quench the Con-
gressional thirst with lemonade and
iced tea. These cxhilarating beverages
were paid for out of the contingent
fund of the House.
Mr., Williams, however. will hear of
no such extravaganza and listen to no
appeals in this direction to deplete
the public purse, and as a sequence
the machine has been run thus far on
ice water and the contents of private
TASKS. To illustrate how this ecoHo
my works an example of to-day is
cited. A member from Pennsylvania
who "holds the purse strings of the
nation" had been holding CONVERSE
tion with n number of his colleagues.
Abruptly he left them.
"Mhere are you going?" said one of
them as he headed toward the door
81 am going over to the Senate to get
some lemonade. Blue. jean Williams
is so mean he won't let us have any
on our side of the Capitol" So Peter
is robbed to pay Panl. Just as much
lemonade is used, and the expense of
it as great as ever, the excep-
tion being that the Senate foots the
bills.

General Garfield, in addressing one
of the literary societies of Williams
College ON Monday night, denounced
the accepted theory that the offices of
the country belong to the victorious
party.-N. 7. Graphic.
The faculty of Williams College
ought to be ashamed of themselves for
having allowed Garfield to address
their literary societies. He Is a con-
vlcted corruptionist and jobber, a cred
it mobilier plunderer and tracfficker
in in legislation generally. He is not
the man to teach morality of any de-
soription. We suppose we shall next
hear of Blaine, the Spencer-rif1c lob
byist, addressing college classes, ,-Balt.

There's a certain curious member Of
the plant family, very common in ia
maica, TN informed, called the lite
plant, or leaf of life, because il is al
most impossible to kill the leaves,
You may cut one of, and hang it up
by a thread, where an ordinary leaf
would be discouraged and dry up. II
will send out long, white, thread-like
roots, and set about growing new
leaves. You may cut off half a leaf
and throw it into a tight box, where
it can get neither light nor moisture
(necessaries of lite to other plants,
the spirited little leaf puts out its del
icate roots all the same. Even pressed,
and packed away in a botanist's her
barium-the very dryest and dullest
place you ever did sect will keep
up its work, throw out roots and new
leaves, and actually grow out Of its
covers. I'm told that botanists who
want to dry this pertinacious vegeta-
bic are obliged to kill it with hot
iron or with boiling water.-[St. Mich

Leok to lioMr Lee EoMds.

There is prevalent notion that ice
purifies itself by the process of free
zing. This is not based on trustwor-
thy scientific observation, and, indeed,
is not true. In the recent annual re-
port Of the State Board Of Health OF
Massachusetts, are given the details of
an outbreak Of intestinal disorder,
clearly attributable to the contamina-
ton Of impure ice. The malady
broke out last summer in one of the
principal hotels at Rye Beach, N. II ,
and while not attended with fatal eff.
fects, extended to a large number of
people. After long and unavailing
research, the cause of the trouble was
found in the pond whence the ice
