Statement of MT. IT. NI. Cox, NO. S5 St. John Street, New Haven.
 
A Happy Experience.


 From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.) We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from MT. T. M. Cox, an old resident of New Haven, and gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles The state- ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. Lighthilrs ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence.
 NEW HAVEN, July 9. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment For the past thirty-six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing Of late years it at tacked my hearing, impairing it to consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in- creasing upon me it subjected me to serious n-z ~R s,1~k1 tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, 80 that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthills efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnin will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of his profession.

reported that at the recent reunion of the Third Army Corps over fifty of the seventy who sat down to supper ''expressed them selves privately in favor of the Democratic candidate for President" This statement excited much surprise and indignation, 'as ail questions of politics are rigidly excluded from the reunions, and as it was known to be very wide of the truth. A canvass was quietly instituted, and it has been found that there were just four who would vote for Hancock. There is some difference between four and lover fifty"

The Horse Shoe Superstition.

In very early times, says writer in
Bald'riu's Monthly. among the Celtic race,
an etiigy of the patron saint, SO common
in churches and temples. was much used
in the dwellings and work shops of the
people, as so-called protection" against
ill fortune. The glory y above the head
of these figures-whicb latter were often
rudely carved in wood, and painted-was
represented by circular piece of polished
metal. to convey the effect of the shin
ing halo. or RimbHS, frequently seen in
illustrations of the Virgin and other
Scriptural subjects. Often this metal
nimbus was of semi-circular form: and
after the figure itself had disappeared
by reason of decay, the numbus remained
and was suspended in some prominent
place, as the entrance door. OF other point
commanding view. The effigies in ques-
ton were not uncommonly seen by the
side of the doorway. In course of time,
the nimbus was much used as substi-
tute for the latter, and was sold in the
shops for this purpose.
The tradition of good luck" as en-
bodied in the horse shoe theory, may thus
be easily traced, since it became a COM
mon occurrence, in due course of time,
for the faithful adherent of the belief in
charms and symbols, to adopt the shoe
worn to brightness, in the absence of any
other. which he nailed over his cottage
door. Hence piece of metal of this
shape became associated in the common
mind with supernatural presence and
care, in keeping with the belief attach
ing to the original figure of the patron
saint.

THE STORE AND THE TRADE.

A study of this ground plan, incon-
plete as it is, will give you better idea
of the store, and of what is in it, than de-
scription can do The store covers ~
acres; basement is under, and galleries
are over, part. The whole affords
somewhere about acres of room.
This particular business is d years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
it became general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and kitchen furnishing
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added; and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere
To the surprise of many, it has fourished
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
To us there is no mystery about it.
nothing surprising even unless it be
surprising that SO conspicuous business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods; but that's different thing.
We provide so that you get what you
want, exactly 7ozat J,ou acuutI In the
first place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge is too much, you bundle it back

W us.
We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands of
YOU who don't know what we are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these 5
acres; thousands of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and
open competitor. We do not expect to
gather millions of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation. Some will be-
lievc whatever is said against us. The
only answer we make is: Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
We want your trade. You want our
goods; or would want them, if you
knew. No matter how far away you
may be; you will do we'll to send to
us for some things. We ask you to
write to us about something you have
present occasion for.
When we get in communication with
YOU, we shall have one means of winning
your trade, viz by pleasing you. When
we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it, viz, by dealing with you
as we deal with everybody: giving you
large return for your money, and sup
plying your wants SO intelligently that
you will write us for what you want as
naturally as you say good morning
to your next-door neighbor.

Chestnut Culture.

In some localities in Italy and Spain,
and in Eastern Europe and Western Asia.
the chestnut crop is equal in Importance
to the wheat crop i'll Ohio. Chestnut
bread constitutes the principal food Of
more than hundred millions of people.
the healthiest, handsomest, and most
sinewy people in the world. 1t is est
mated that the value of the chestnut
crop of Ohio is $50, 1t ought to be
$50. 900, 900. and can be brought up to
that figure within twenty years. The
natural home of the chestnut is a barren
soil-waste land, though it will grow
and flourish on any soil in Ohio. Chest
nut trees one hundred feet in height and
from three to seven feet i'll diameter can
vet be found on the hill tops of southern
Ohio, growing in soil which cannot be
made to produce five bushels OF corn to
the acre. and where oak, hickory. and
other trees are mere dwarfs. The chest
nut is valuable timber, and OF very
rapid growth. Under favorable circum-
stances a bearing chestnut tree can he
grown twenty-five feet i'll height from
the seed in five years. The proper way
is to plant the chestnut where 1t Is dc
sired that the tree shall grow.
Like the hickory, the chestnut does
not take kindly to transplanting. Farm
ers in central and western Ohio have
tried the experiment of importing chest
nut trees in vain, and have arrived at
the conclusion that there is something IN
the soil which mitigatcs against the
growth of the chestnut. That is Il mis-
take. Any farmer who desires it can
have a chestnut grove, or as many chest
nut trees as he desires, by planting
chestnuts. They should be planted be
fore they become dry and shriveled-
within week or two after gathering,
the sooner the better. The chestnut
should be about half-buried in the ground
and then covered with leaves or litter
barely covered. not buried or Smothered.
Twenty chestnuts should be planted for
every tree desired: for although every
healthy chestnut will terminate, and Is
liable to produce a tree, provision should
be made to exclude hipmonks from the
ground where chestnuts are planted.

TIMELY TOPICS.
PECUNIARY INDEPENDENCE.

We talk great deal about our polit-
ical, intellectual moral, and social indie
pendence all the world has heard us talk
about them. We do not enjoy them as
fully, perhaps, as we think. How much
independence of thought has the Journal
list, for instance, who must bid for an
audience, the author whose first thought
must be never to displease reader, the
orator who must repeat the stock notions
of his hearers, the professor who has to
reconcile evolution with theology; how
much liberty of action has the voter who
depends upon government salary, or
who is in a politicians employ? One
can not very seriously blame these peo-
Pile, to whom independence often means
starvation. What | want to set in clear
light is this: that independence in life
and thought depends, more than we like
to believe, upon pecuniary independence;
it is not to be had by wishing merely.
Individuals there are, and always will
be. who will suffer for their moral or in
telectual independence; but communi-
ties will be what circumstances make
them. This, again, want to set in clear
! light: that We are, as community, def
cent. in spite of our national wealth.
and unnecessarily deficient in the best
part of inleprndenre-the power to rnjo'
| our lives. In this respect We are behind
our friends in France. with their two
millions of people living upon their in
comes.
These two millions of people are not.
for the most part, either idle. or friv,,-
lous. or wealthy people. Many of them
live in the cities. but more of them are.
quiet people living on their modest prop
critics in the country, and enjoying their
competence in a rational way-cnjovinu
friendships. social pleasures family afiec-
TONS and all the kindly observances of
home life in way that We have little
idea of--in way that the tourist iii Paris
sees nothing of. We have much To learn
from the French. and among the things
that we have to learn are some that MAY
surprise us. One of these things is the
comfort. the unity, and the permanence
of French homes. The French home
ana family, their happiness, their unity,
their permanence, these have been de-
veloped by the combined industry, thrift.
and domestic sentiment of the most in
telligent people in Europe, and especially
by it's great middle class. We have the
significant testimony of Prince Bismarck
that the French nation has social So
lidity such as no other nation of Europe
enjoys" Mr.. Matthew Arnold, from
whose Ni,red Essays quote, adds: ''This
can only come from the broad basis Of
we'll being, and of cause for satisfaction
with life, which in France, more than in
other countries exists If we had two
millions of people, or one million, who
were enjoying a competence, earned or
inherited, can it be doubted that we
should be happier people, and a better
one, than we are? France and the United
States have this important feature in
of the people live directly by agriculture;
but our country homes and families have
not attained the comfort OF the perma-
nence Of theirs.-Harper' Magazine.

WILL EDUCATION YIELD SUBSIS-
TENCE?

An education. yes; but what sort of an
education? A bricklayer's education, an
artisans, farmers would indeed help
him to earn living. A college educa-
ton would give him a social advantage.
but it would not, in itself, increase his
chance of earning a living: it would di-
minish it. For, as was pointed out in
an interesting paper lately published in
this Magazine, our colleges do not, like
the French and German universities, in
struct young man in the bread winning
pursuits; the American colleges are, on
the contrary, institutions for general cul-
ture. | do not take up the question here
of the amount and value of the culture
they supply. The point for us to note is
that the educated young American who
has not special education as a bread
winner is worse off, as to his money pros
poets, than the young American who has
no college education at all. Dig he can
not, and to beg he is ashamed. Two of
the professions at least are fatally over
crowded. The United States, with a
population not greatly larger than til;
of the German Empire. graduates every
year five times as many physicians; for
the German Empire limits the num-
Der of its doctors, and we do not limit
that of ours. Very many of our physi-
clans not only wait years for practice but
never get into practice at all. 1t is much
the same with the profession of law. In
both professions there are prizes for few
and failures, more or less complete, for
the many. The engineering, mining and
other scientific professions offer some
what better chance, and public life. al
most neglected as Il profession. will at
tract better class of young men from
year to year. But upon none of these,
save in favored and exceptional cases, as
where son succeeds to his fathers prac-
tice, can a young man depend for fortune
or even for immediate support. They.
too, offer certain social dignity. But
as rule it is the laborer, artisan. or
tradesman that has the better chance of
supporting himself; it is the educated
man that has, more frequently, to wait
before he can pay his way. If. therefore
we educate our sons, it is all the better
reason why we should provide, not indeed
for their independence, but some aid
during the years which they are likely
to spend in waiting before they can
achieve their position.
1t is to be remembered, too, that these
years of waiting may become, with such
aid, years of scholarly Or scientific ac-
complishment, if not of money-making:
years of strengthened preparation; years
that might introduce and brighten a
career, instead of wasted years that cloud
or spoil it.-Horpers Magazine.
