A prominent merchant has compiled
the following maxims for his own in
quiry and experience:
I. Choose the kind of business you
understand.
2. Capital is positively required in
business, even if you have real es-
tate outside and credit ever so good.
3. One kind of business is as much as
a man a manage successfully. In
vestments on the outside do not gener-
ally pay, especially If you require the
money in your business.
4. But cautiously and just what O
want, and do not be persuaded to pur-
chase what you do not need; If you do,
you will soon want what you can't buy.
s. Insure yonrA stock insure your
store; insure your dwelling, ifyou have
one. If tho rate is high 1t is only be-
cause tho risk is great, and If course
you should not tako the risk yourself.
A business that will not pay for insur-
ing will not justify running. garfVys
Q. Sell to good. responsible parties
only. Sell on n specified time. and when
your money is due demand 1t; donot let
the account stand without note or inter
est for an indefinite period.
7. Sell at a reasonable profit and
never misrepresent TO effect a sale.
8. Live within your income; keer
your business to yourself; have pa
thence and you will succeed ny "a
o. Competition is the life oftrade, but
in trying to run your competitor out of
business. be careful you do notrun your
self out.
10. Advertise your business in your
home paper. 1t pays to ~patronize tn
printer. Vg-aa

That Boys Hair.

A Michigan doctor has written q
book upon the human hair, In which
he presents these views: Hairs do not,
a. q rule, penetrate the scalp perpen-
dtcularly, but at an angle. When the
angle OF the different hairs Is the same,
It Is possible to give it the easy sweeps
and curves which we generally see it
take, but II they are by some freak of
nature misplaced. we have the rebelli
ous "frizzle-tops" that are not suscepti-

comb. Many a poor mother has half
worried her life out trying to train her
Johnny's rebellious locks into better
ways. believing 1t was Johnny's per-
verseness Of manners that induced such
d~ilapidated looking head-gear, when IL
was really none of Johnny's fault at all,
but simply . freak OF nature In mis-

sowinG Corn for rodass.

Ifthere is "A poor place in the meadow
where the grass will be very light or il
a portion OF a new seeding has failed.
the deficiency in the fodder may be
made up by sowing such spots with
corn for fodder for next winter or feed
ing green next August or September.
1t Is a very common mistake in SOW
Ing corn for fodder to use too much seed.
II sown too thick the stalks will be
slender. with but few leaves and nearly
destitute of sacharine matter. In thick
sowing we get bulk in the crop, but Il Is
ofthe poorest quality. VIZ believe that
n bushel per acre will yield a crop of
more value In real nutriment than II
double the amount Of seed Is used.
Probably the best way Is TO drill In
rows about three feet apart, 80 that II
may be cultivated by horse labor.
When thus grown the stalks will be
highly nutritious as stock food and the
nubbins that viii grow ON the stalks
will add greatly to the feeding value of
the crop. .ppfFf nan.
For summer feeding corn should be
sown as early as II win germinatsJ II
grown for fall feeding Il should be sowa
at intervals Of about ten days. and seed
ing may DO continued until late in July.
The late sowings may follow an early
crop which may hsvo been removed, rs
early potatoes. peas, etc.
In sowing corn the comnon grais
drill may be .employsd, -asing only
enough teeth - make the rows tho de-
sired distance apart.-Erchan0e.

Where hard-finished walls have al
ready been kalsomined. the soiled coats
should be washed or scraped off before
a new n is put on. This is the most
disagreeable part of the process. The
furniture should be covered, as lime
makes spots that are removed with great
difficulty. especially upon black walnut.
Those who have tried paint on the walls
of rooms speak very strongly in its favor
1t closes up the pores of the plaster so
that it cannot absorb i'll odors, it can be
easily cleaned with soda and water,
(soap and water make it spotty) and 1t
can be made of any desired tint. In
washing painted walls it Is a good plan
to remove from the room everything
that can be injured by steam. and then
hang sheets wrung from hot water in
the room. The vapor condensing on tho
walls softons the dirt and it may be
wiped off with wooden cloths wrung
from soda water. Ceilings that havo
been smoked by a kerosene lamp should
be washed off with soda water. If the
wall about the stow, has been
smoked by the stove, cover the black
patches with gum shcllac ard they
will not strike through either paint
or kalsomine. Furniture needs clean
ing rs much as other woodwork.
1t may be washed with warm soap suds
quickly, be wiped dry, and then rubbed
with an oily cloth. Topolish it, rub it
with rotten-stone and sweet-oil. Clean
of the oil and polish with channels skin.
For ordinary woodwork use whiting to
rub the dirt off and ammonia. Mortar
and paint may be removed from window
glass with hot, sharp vinegar. Grained
wood should be washed with cold tea.
Carpets should be thoroughly beaten on
the wrong side first and then on the right,
after which spots may be removed by the
use of OK gall or ammonia and water. If
paper has been laid under the carpet all
dust may be easily removed with it with
out raising any. The warmth of floors is
greatly increased by having carpet lining
or layers of paper under it. Drain pipes
and all places that are sour or impure
may be cleansed with lime water, cop
peras water or carbolic acid. Copperas
mixed with the whitewash put upon
the cellar walls will keep vermin away.
Strong brine may be used to advantage
in washing bedsteads; hot alum water
is also good for this purpose. Oil of
lavender will drive away the fleas.
Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at night
destroys cockroaches; they eat it and
are poisoned. Cayenne pepper blown
into the cracks where ants, congregate
will drive them away. The same
remedy Is good also for mice. If gilt
frames. when new, are covered with a
coat of white varnish all specks can
then be washed off with water without
harm. Good fires should be kept up
during the house-cleaning time even
though the doors and windows be kept
open and more than usual attention
should be gwen to the provision Of a
nutritious and generous diet. Under
the most favorable circumstances
house-cleaning makes immense de-
mands upon the system as we'll
as on the.muscular, and good food at
regular intervals will be a great help in |
enabling one to be patient. -New York

An AuctiOneer Sold,

Rather an amusing circumstance, SAYS
the Rochester Herald, happened tie
other evening at an auction sale In this
city. The ~auctioneer was selling a
watch, and the man who was employed

menced TO make his talk. The auc-
toneer looked around the room in
search Of a victim, and 500 saw a
pleasant looking man who looked as il
ne might be from the country. When
the vendor smiled sweetly and sugecs.
lively at the victim the latter returned
the smile, and when he nodded the sup
posed countryman nodded In return.
This was sufficient. and the a~uctioneer
counted y y . bid and raised the pricea
dollar. This sort Of thing was kept IN
for some time until the bid reached the
proper point, when It was knocked
down TO the smiling and nodding Gus
TONER II was then found that the man
was q deaf mute, and had simply nodded
. polite acknowledgment Of the auc-
tioneer's bows and smiles. That watch
was put up again, but only audible bids
