Messrs WEEKS g. POTTER: Gent{emen,-I have

commencing in my head and face and extending over
the greater part of my body. l have taken gallons
of medicine for the blood of different kinds and tried
good physicians, all of which did me no good and
came to the conclusion that could not be cured.
But friend called my attention to an article in the
Union skin diseases, ana got box of CUTICURA.
The first application was great relief and the third
took the scales all off, and felt like new man.

and consider myself entirely cured Hoping that
this may be seen by afflicted as have been

recommend it to all persons afflicted with like dis
cases. Yours truly, b. WILSON LORD.

Hanging Baskets.

The ordinary hanging baskets of pottery
ware are not generally liked by plant grow
ers and for the reason that they have not
earth capacity sufficient for the plants nee
essary to produce the required effect. An
other, and the real objection is their drying
out. and this again from want of capacity.
TIE third objection is their cost, for although
made of common fower-pot clay, they are
sold at very fancy prices. Consequently we
do not nowadays see one where we used to
see ten, and various substitutes are used, the
more pretentious being the rustic and costly
affairs of vanished wood displayed for sale
at every floral establishment. One of the
cheapest and really best means however, for
making hanging baskets lies in wire. They
are easily and cheaply made in any desired
form or capacity, and may be made easily to
enclose any shaped pot or pan; in fact they
may be made to do duty directly, wherever
moss may be either gathered or bought
Arrange ground moss about the wires, COM
bining the colors as you like, inside this lay
bed of spagnum. Soak the whole plant
thoroughly, and as a rule they will not need
watering by immersion more than once a
week, light sprinkling being all that is re-
quired. In messed wire baskets ferns NAV
be most successfully grown if kept tolerablv
warm and moist.
How to maxi wire baskets Get some
wire for upper and lower rims sufficiently
strong to bear the weight of the earth and
plants contained, to this fasten smaller wire
and bind at intervals with fine annealed
wrapping wire, attach the cords or wire sus-

| Webster Tribune
There is now and then person
so stupid as to believe that adver-
tisements in the newspapers are
not generally read, and that money
expended in advertisements is
practically wasted. Even such
will concede that If hundred men
of polite address, of fluent speech
and ready wit, were to call, daily
or weekly, each upon an hundred
others and get the ears OF each
long enough to say John Smith,
or Jones, or Thompson, at such a
place, has such and such, at such
prices, or would sell a farm, or
house and lot, or had lost n horse
or pocket book, or would loan
money, etc, we say such men will
ooncede that the service OF this one
hundred men would be OF great
value to Smith or Jones, and in
some measure advantageous to the
party to whom this statement was
made, This hundred men could
not be employed to go from door
to door and make this statement
to ten thousand people at less than
cost of several hundred dollars
each trip. All this is done by
newspapers at a cost of few dol
lars at most, and the visits are
made week after week, day after
day. The messenger who travels
addresses himself to the ear, and
takes the party addressed when he
may have his thoughts absorbed
in business or other matters; but
the newspaper reaches the party
sought through the eve, when the
reader has his thoughts solely fixed
upon the paper before him.
But those who affect to believe
that there is little use in advertising
urge, as an objection, that adver-
tisements are not read. They can
be easily convinced of their error
10 this respect by making inquiry.
Let them insert an advertisement
offering to purchase some article
that is tolerably plenty in market,
and they will be flooded with offers
to sell before the ink of the adyer-
tisement Is dry. An enterprising
weekly that has a circulation OF
one or two thousand copies is In q
position to DO the merchant great
good, and for which, as rule. the
publisher does not get one-fourth
what he justly deserves.
