In many of the classes Of the animal
kingdom there arc species which are
unable to maintain the struggle for ex-
istence without help from others.
Some of them live entirely at the ex.
pense of their neighbors, and are
merely parasites. Others simply en-.
joy the protecting companionship of
those more favored than themselves,
and are called messmates, or common.

their hosts. Mr.. Fritz Muller has late

Promptness.

In the way that business is now car.

paying for their purchase at the end
of six months Or year, when the wants
of man were simpler, before railroads
ramified the country and telegraph
wires kept it company, people were
schooled to wait or to deny themselves
altogether the article out of reach.
Now. however, us the villages have
grown into towns. and the
towns into cities, and the railroads
bear a daily burden of freight to a
mans door, or the express, quickened
by the electric message, is aeeter
servant still, man has grown impatient
Of delay. With an appreciation of the
value Of money and the disaster of
long credits, more rapid settlements
are insisted on, and the huge stocks
have given place to lighter ones often
replenished. Exigencies, too, are
greater. If a railroad bridge is burn
Cd, or the track washed away, there
must be immediate repair. Every.
body understands how Imperative the
case is, and all energies are bent in one
direction. This is but 4 single in.
stance IF necessity, which at once
descends on to the merchant or manu-
facturer Of the supply wanted. An in.
voice or explanation is expected by re-
turn mail, and the goods to follow at
the earliest possible moment.
The man that responds to the de-.
mand most readily, and gains the rep.
utation Of doing 50, he it is-other
things being equal-into whose hands
trade will fail: Even tha slightest
things tell in the long run, the ac-
acknowledgement Of order with the date
of probable execution,is a help, though
nothing is like supplying the demand
at once. 1t is the middleman's main
hope for favor, for # the consumer is
in good credit. and can wait, he will
be able to order from the manufac.
turer direct. ..-..
We are confident of our position,
that, next to honesty, the surest ele-
ment Of success is promptness-promp
answers-prompt execution Of orders,
and not least of all-prompt pay.

People sometimes ask why does DR.. R. V.

in advertising his family medicines, which are

that A. +. Stewart considered it good policy,
and undoubtedly It Payed him to spend many
hundred thousand dollars in advertising his
goods, yet nobody questioned the excellence
of his merchandise. The grand secret Of sue

merit to sustain themselves, and then through
LIBERAL and persistent advertising making the
people thoroughly acquainted with their good
qualities. Men do MT succeed in amassiDg

An Experiment in Ventilation.

Judge Pitman recently read a work
on ventilation, which impressed him so
deeply with the Importance Of having
currents of fresh air in the house tina
he determined to ven,ilate his dwell
ing thoroughly. He concluded that the
best way to do this would be to place
a blower in the cellar, and he there.
fore purchased one of those circular
fans that are used for supplying steam
engines with air. This he planted in
the back cellar, and ran the pipe from
it to the bed-chamber in the second.
story front. Then he purchased the
right to connect the fan with the
steam planing.mill in the alley just
back of him. The connection was
made late in the afternoon, and that
night the people in the planing.mill
had a job of over work to do, so they
started the engine at half.past nine.
Tue Judge retires at nine. Half an
hour later he woke from dreaming
that he was sitting on an iceberg fish.

covers were blown from the bed then
Mrs. Pitman and the baby were whisk
ed out after the covers, and the Judge
managed to- remain in bed only BY
holding hard to the bedstead. There
was cyclone coming through that pipe
from the blower in the cellar. The
planning mill was working at full speed.
and the fan was making 400 revolu.

realized these facts. a blast took the
mattress off and hurled it and the Judge
over against the wall, and then the
current of air caught the bedstead
and ran that over after. him, Mrs.
Pitman and the baby had.retreated to

Then the tornado blew the lights
out, and the Judge desperately felt
his way over to the mouth of the pipe
in the dark to shut of the draft. 1t
nearly took him of his legs, but he
succeeded in shutting the damper; but
no sooner had he done so than the air
blew the damper out of the pipe with
