That the benefits to be derived from
judicious advertising cannot be overesti-
mated, is question that hardly admits
of discussion. Its value may not, in
some cases, prove directly noticeable, but
in all cases it's indirect value must be
conceded; and in most instances the
houses that are doing the largest and
most prosperous business are the ones
which do not neglect to advertise, or let
the public know, through some medium,
what they desire. Where there is firm
that has accumulated a fortune, gained a
popular name, and reached and maintain
ed pre-eminence during a long series of
years, it can usually be credited as the
result of advertising. However cheaply
or reasonably a firm may sell goods, or
whatever inducements it may offer to its
customers, the great body of the public
will not know it, unless they learn by
other ways than experience. There are
cases, of course, where houses have at
tanned high standing and secured n
large business by quietly letting the
trade come to them. But these cases are
rare; and this can only be accomplished
at the expense of time, which is more
valuable than money Advertising
should not be viewed as an expense in
the usual sense, but should be compared
with the outlay for store fixtures, rent,
and salaries of salesmen-an expense
which is really a necessity so long as the
business is continued

The arrival of the Grand Duke Alexis
of Russia in the United States revives
the memory of his visit five years ago.
He was then, during his brief stay in
Washington, a guest of the Russian
minister, Mr. lie Catacazy. According
to an ancient custom in Russia, handed
down from the remotest antiquity, any
member of the Imperial family who en-
ters the house of subject must be re-
ceived by the lady Of the house at the
entrance door, who must in token of hos
pitality offer bread and salt to her guest.
LIN compliance with this custom, Nine.
de Catacazy stood at the door of her
residence to receive her imperial visitor,
holding in her hands a round silver sal
yer on which was placed ION a circular
piece of white paper with pinked edges
a large round loaf of Russian black
bread. A small round piece was cut out
of the top of the loaf, in which was in
serted silver saltcellar containing the
finest table salt. In Offering it Nine.
de Catacazy repeated the formula which
Russian etiquette has established as
proper on such occasions, saying in the
Russian language: 81 offer you bread
and salt" The grand duke received it
from her hands, gave it to one of his
suite, and then passed into the house.

A TichbOrne Case.

A Thichborne case has been unearth-
ed at Mulhouse, where one Joseph Keller
for month passed as Auguste Dattler,
son of worthy miller, whom he resem-
bled not little The father had sent
his son away to avoid military service
and had not seen him for two years.
Meeting Keller in tavern he took him
for his son, and when Keller denied the
relationship had him locked up for I'M
fiial conduct. Under these circum-
stances Keller thought he might as well
be the son and obtain his liberty, SO he
confessed, was released and taken home
q, and for more than a month was ac-
copied as the son by all the members of
the family. Finally the mistake was
discovered, whereupon a most uneven
handed justice condemned the poor fell
low to nine months Imprisonment for
imposture.

On one occasion Webster, the Ameri-
can senator, was on his way to his duties
at Washington. He was compelled to
proceed at night by stage from Balti-
more. He had no travelling companion,
and the driver had sort of felon look
which produced no inconsiderable alarm
in the senator. 81 endeavored to tran
quilize myself" said Webster, "and had
partly succeeded, when we reached the
dark woods between Bladensburg ard

or outrage-and here, I confess, my
courage again deserted me. Just then
the driver turned to me, and, with a
gr1lff voice, inquired my name. l gave
it to him. Where are you goingg said
he. The reply was TO Washington.

A young man writes to the Graphic
that he wants to be an editor, to which
the Graphic editor replies: Canst thou
draw up leviathan with a hook thou let
test down? Canst thou hook up great
ideas from the depths of thine intellect,
and clean, scale and fry them at five
minutes notice? Canst thou write edi-
torials to measure? Canst thou write
an editorial to fit in three-quarter col
umn of the paper, which shall be in

three inches of fine sentiment four inches
from the beginning, and nine inches of
humor in the middle, and an outburst of
maxim and precept, nine and three

lluy Small Trees.

Nurserymcn usually describe trees on
their catalogues as "second class, -
:" medium" "frst class" and "extra,
The difference inthese classes is princi-
pally, il not wholly, in the size and
height Of the trees; and M most farmers
desire the best, they suppose TINT the
large extra" trees merit TINT descrip-
tion, and hence order them. Tho fact il,
however, that small tree VIII grow fast
er and Gf fruit tree) come into bear
ing condition sooner than large one;
and, rs the Ncw England Homestead
states, in half dozen years the tree that
was small when planted will be larger
and finer than the other. The larger
the tree, the larger the roots which it
has, and the larger the roots the less
fibers there will be upon them. A tree
that has plenty of fibrous roots will
grow readily il proper care is used in
transportation; but no amount of skill
can coax tree to live and flourish which
is destitute of these little fbers. The
roots of large trees are always more or
less mutilated in the process of taking
up, while small trees sustain little i'll
jury from this source. Dealers in trees
assert that experienced men buy small
thrifty trees, while those who are ust
starting are anxious for the largest to be
had. Those who are to set trees the
coming season will do we'll to learn from
the experience of those who, ut consider
able loss to themselves, have demon
strated that small trees are the ones to
buy.

Did any enfeebled human being ever be-
come strong under the operation OF
powerful cathartics or salivants? 1t is
sometimes necessary to regulate the
bowels, but that cannot be done by active
purgation, which exhausts the vital forces
and serves no good purpose whatever.
The only true way TO promote health and
vigor, which are essential to regularity OF
the organic functions, is TO invigorate,
discipline and purify the system al the
same time. The extraordinary efficacy OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in cases OF de-
bility or irregularity of the organs OF diges-
ton, stimulation, secretion and discharge
is universally admitted. Appetite, good
digestion, regular habit OF body, active
circulation Of the blood, and purity OF all
the animal fluids are induced by this
superb tonic and corrective. 1t has no
equals, moreover, as preventive st chills
and fever, and other types OF malarial dis
ease. To emigrants and travellers it Is
particularly serviceable as a medicinal
safeguard.
