rheArcade stable.

The new livery stable building just fin |
ished by Capt. J. S. Foster, on the lot op- |
posite the City Building, on Fayette
street, is an improvement worthy of men
ton. 1t is the most complete and con-
veniently arranged building for the pur
pose for which it was built, to be found
anywhere. 1t is built of brick, with tin
roof, and the size is so by 80 feet, with an
L so by IA feet. There is also an apart
ment attached for restaurant and lunch
room. The office is 10 by "a feet, and con-
nected with it is ladies' waiting room,
which will be neatly carpeted and fur
nished, and kept for the use and accom-
mediation of lady patrons of the stable,
where they can comfortably wait while
their horses are being fed and taken care
of. The carriage and harness rooms are
up stairs in the rear part of the building.
The front of the building makes a hand
some appearance, and it's interior ar
rangement, for convenience, cleanliness
and all the requisites for carrying on an
extensive livery and feed business in
first-class order, is pretty near perfection.
The new stable is to be occupied by the
firm of Foster and Smith who have al
ready moved into it. They will keep it
well stocked with fine buggies and car
riages, and stylish and safe horses for
hire, and will pay special attention to the
feed business, in which they are prepared
to give excellent satisfaction.

The strongest argument in favor of
the good results of advertising is the
fact that the men who do the most

without foundation. Look around
you and you will see the most liberal
advertisers to day enjoying the largest
patronage aud the greatest business
prosperity. So it is everywhere. The
man who advertises always has the ad'
vantage of the one that does not No
man in any legitimate business ever
put a judicious advertisement in a
newspaper that didn't pay thousand
per cent. on the .investment. A live
set of business men who are good ad
vertisers will make live place out Of
any town. Advertising makes BUSH
ness. 1t attracts trade. 1t brings to
the town many thousands of dollars
that would otherwise be expended else
where, and, If persisted in, gradually
but surely builds on solid foundation
a business structure that is permanent
and full of solid prosperity. An ex
change SAYS: "Iu the stores OF men
who do not advertise are generally seen
on barrel heads on which are inscribed
in chalk or charcoal such devices as
these Flower, Korn, Meel, Pertatoes,

The StInsing Tree.

There is a plant growing among the
luxuriant scrubs of Queensland which
is as deadly in IT'S effects as fire. The
Scientific AmUjcaR describes these
plants and their effects, as follows

able smell, but is best known by its
leaf, having a point on the top, and is
jagged all around the edge, like the
nettle. All the leaves are large, some
larger than a saucer.
Sometimes, says traveller, while
shooting turkeys in the scrubs I have
entirely forgotten the stinging tree till

smell, and | have then found myself

Music In stones.
Nov York Herald. 1

a very interesting and curious exhi-
bition was given by NJ. Baudre at
Charier institute yesterday afternoon.
NJ Baudre made the accidental dis
covery of musical notes in pieces of
flint, and for twenty four years he has
been collecting enough of these stones
to make a chroma.ic scale. He has
now perfected his discovery and has
made musical instrument of the same
general idea as the harmonicon, but
which is much more powerful. The
stones, which are Of various sizes and
form, are just as he found them, no ar
tiicial aid being brought to bear in
adapting them TO this use. The instru-
ment is composed of an iron frame,
loug which the stones are suspended
by means of stout tvine; then, with
two bits of stone that have no reson-
ance NJ. Baudre played variety Of
tunes, making nice harmonies and
bringing forth exceedingly sweet
tones. The stones are not regulated
by weight, as entirely different
notes weigh just the same. The
musical quality is something given
them by nature. Besides the stones,
NJ. Baudre had a number of bits of
wood about the size of an old-fashioned
clothes pin, which he threw on the
marble floor one at time, and they
produced tie regular notes Of the scale
with remarkable correctness. The
singing stones, however, are the IAore.
