Don't Believe in Advertising.

The man who says he "don't believe in advertising" is unconsciously all the while doing just what he deprecates. He hangs coats outside of his door, or puts dry goods in his windows-that advertising. He has printed cards lying on his counter-that's advertising. He sends out drummers through the coun- try, or puts his name on his wagon that's advertising. Helabels his articles or his manufactures advertising. If he has lost his COW, he puts written notice in the Post-office or tells his sis ter-in- -law-and that's advertising, too. He has his name put up in gilt letters over his door-what is that but adver- Using? He paints his shop green or red; or, if tailor, he wears the latest style; if doctor, he has his boy call him out of church in haste; if an auc- tioneer, he bellows to attract the atten- tion of passers-by; if heavy merchant, he keeps huge pile of boxes on his sidewalk in front of his store-and all for advertising.
 A man can't do business without ad- vertising, and the question is whether to call to his aid the engine that moves the world-the printing press, with its thou sands of messengers working night and day, the steam engine adding to its re- beating capacity untold power and mi raculous speed or, rejecting all these, to go back to the days when newspapers, telegraphs and railroads were unknown.

Awaiting Death.
HOW CONVICTED MURDERER FEELS,
 SLEEPING OR WAXING.

"You know you were to have been hanged to-day" said a reporter to Wm. Erb, the wife murderer of St. Louis, on the morning of the day that Erb was reprieved.
 "Yes, but thanks be to God, I've missed it for while"
 "Do you ever dream about your fate?"
 "Every night is perfect hades to me ; the whole horrible execution is done over and over again. Sometimes drop for enormous distances at the end of 8 rope, and sometimes I am rescued just as the black cap is being put on me. Sometimes I am far away from the jail and from St. Louis, and am recaptured and brought back. It would be ever so much easier to die at once and have it all over.
 "I awoke very early, and I got to thinking about what would have happened if did not have stay. lay there on that miserable cot and lived the whole thing over. thought about the black clothes they would bring me, and how would be shaved and bathed for death. I thought about the procession, in which I would be at the same time corpse, and chief mourner, and I shuddered and wished for daylight"
 "Well, Erb, you will stand it like a man when your time does come?"
 "Oh, the mere matter of dying is nothing; anybody can stand that. It is the not knowing whether you are going to live or die that hurts.

An Elevated Railroad.

The railway up the sides of Mount vesuvius, just completed, runs along @ road steep as ladder of a fire escape and 869 metres in length; but as regards danger, it is reduced to minimum. It is not train in which the passenger travels, but single carriage, carrying ten persons only, and as the ascending carriage starts, another, counterbalanc- ing it, comes do VII from the summit, the weight of each being five tons. The carriages are so constructed that, rising or descending, the passenger sits on 8 level plane, and whatever emotion or hesitation may be felt on starting changes, before one has risen twenty metres, into feeling of perfect security. Dismount- ing at little station at the summit, you can scarcely be said to chamber to the edge of the crater, for the company have cut convenient winding path, up which all except the aged, heavy, or feeble can walk with ease.

Tree Culture on Waste Land.

Hitherto the abundance of natural timber in this country has made it easy to dispense with timber culture, and for the most part our land owners have taken little interest in such slow-grow- ing crops. The demand for special woods for manufacturing purposes IS steadily and rapidly increasing, while the natural supply is diminishing and must ultimately become quite made quate. Meantime there are millions of acres of land suitable for timber culture and for nothing else, except poor pas turage that our land owners are allow ing to lie waste and idle for lack of a lit tie forethought, and too frequently our would-be thrifty farmers will risk their surplus means in wildcat speculations, promising but never yielding large and speedy returns, when the same money spent in planting timber would soon convert their worthless swamps and stony places into valuable properties.
 A correspondent, writing from Wis consin, tells of piece of land that was planted with walnut twenty-three years ago. The land was flooded every spring and summer, and was unfit for any or dinary cultivation. The trees are now from sixteen to twenty inches through, and have been sold for $27, ,OOO. No par ticulars are given as to the cost of plant ing the grove or the amount of atten- tion it has had during the years of growth. There can be little doubt, how ever, that the investment was small in comparison with the return, and the land would otherwise have remained un- productive. To the country the timber crop was so much clear gain. It is clear that our national resources might be enormously increased by similar utili- zation by timber culture of lands which are now left unused and unproductive :; and the planters would have their groves surer investment for the security of their family possessions than any sav- ings bank deposit.

Thrilling Decapitation Scene.

Prof. Maskelyne must look to his laurels. I have just heard, says news paper correspondent, the particulars of decapitation exhibition in Yokohama, which far surpasses anythingof the kind at the Egyptian Hall. The performances take place in small room, about twenty feet long by twelve feet wide, half being allotted to the spectators, who are ad- mitted on the payment of two cents. The properties" are of the simplest description-a deal table and a sword, etc. After the usual soul-stirring four ish on drum and samisen, man and woman appear from behind a screen. The man binds the woman's head in 8 cloth, and she then kneels down close to the table, and sideways to the spectators. A violent blow with the sword is deliv- cred at the woman's neck, and she falls forward, arms extended and limbs twitch- ing. After wiping the sword on gory- looking rag, the man apparently takes up the woman's head and places it on the table. To all appearances it is 6 human head; the eyelids and features have 8 convulsive motion. Presently the eyelids open in dreamy sort of D way, and to the accompaniment of the everlasting samisen the head sings Q mournful song A curtain is here inter posed for Q few moments between the audience and the performers, and when drawn back the woman is discovered un- injured. This would, undoubtedly, make a new sensation in this country for our horror-loving people.

Took a Delicate Hint.

A Detroit paper says: A well-known business man has penchant for fowls, and every year raises nice lot of chick ems. This year he has been provoked by puppy which takes delight in chas- ing the tenderlings to their death. The dog is owned by neighbor across the way, for whom the chicken fancier has great respect, and he has forborne to bullet the cur on that account
 But forbearance at last oeased to be a virtue, and he addressed the following pithy note to the dog owner Dear sir-You keep 8 dog; keep chickens. Your dog comes over here and worries my chickens. Now, if my. chickens go over and worry your dog, you shOot them.' Then he loaded up his shot, gun and got ready for the canine; but he cometh not. The neighbor took the hint and chained his pup.

Durability of Consumption.

Dr. Carl Booth, of New York, claims that he is able to cure sixty per cent. of consumptives at all stages and that it is easy to arrest the disease in it's early stage. His aim is to secure five points ::
 l. To get the muscles which control the action of the lungs into such con- dition that they can draw the air forci- bly, into the finest passages, thus clear ing the lungs of all phlegm and pus, and reestablishing capillary circulation and respiration in the affected parts, and stimulating the activity of the air-cells generally.
 2. To establish perfect digestion, as- similation and excretion. In this, he does not seek what to people generally is the most nutritious and most easily digested food, but such as the particular patient can most readily digest and as- simulate.
 3. To heal the tubercles by transform ing them into cretaceous (chalk- -like) mass. He secures this CD with food rich in salts of lime; CD certain minerals, such as lime and silica; and (3) certain acids, such as citric, which promote the oxidation of effete matter.
 4. To increase the activity of the air. cells. This is accomplished by bringing t the patients under theinfuence, as much as possible, of sunlight, ozone, fresh air and bodily exercise. He says, "They sleep with open windows in summer and winter, and go out every day. So im- portant is outdoor exercise, that insist that my patients go out in rain, snow, dampness, land even in night air and dew. I have had no instance for twenty years where patient caught cold from such exposure. I only guard against strong head-winds and extreme hot weather"
 5. To prevent all unnecessary waste of the nervous force, and to employ the latter, as far as possible, in promoting the nutrition of the system. =.

A Sailors Bride.

Sailors to this day have a yarn they tell with much gusto, of young and handsome foremast hand on an American ship. It was while lying in Liverpool docks, early one morning, and while all hands were washing decks a carriage drove furiously down alongside the ship, the door was flung wildly open and out stepped young lady of great beauty. Her dress and air bespoke woman of wealth and high station. To the utter astonishment of the tars, she cried in great excitement, but with @ matchless voice: "Who will marry me? Who among these gallant men will marry a lone girl?" One young sailor stepped out, to her great delight, and allowed he was the individual, and then and there constituted himself hero to his ship mates and martyr to matrimony. It then turned out that the young lady was fleeing from persecution, tyrannical father, hateful marriage, and to save herself she had taken this course. The sailor took her, they were married, all the jack tars were elevated and happy and performed all manner of things, the villainous scheme was defeated and the bold sailor got young, gushing and wealthy bride.

That Was Too Much.

The tenant of house on Crawford street says the Detroit Free Press, who was way behind on his rent was some days since ordered to vacate, and then he put his imagination at work to invent excuses to remain in the house. He first had his wife fall sick, and thereby got In week. Then he was taken with the chllls, and got in four days more. Then he got two days in which to hunt another house, and when an officer went there for the key he found the man dying. At least his wife said such was the case, and she acted like one greatly distressed in mind
 "This is very sudden" remarked the non-plussed officer. ..
 "Very sudden, sir. He had just said to me that we would begin moving after dinner, when he dropped to the floor and he has been lying in stupor ever since. The doctor says he may never rally again."
 "Can I see him? ?'
 "Oh, yes, but please don't speak aDoVe whisper. s... --.-.. .r
 She led the way to the bedroom. There lay the unconscious man, but somehow he didn't look as sick man should, and his breath had a strong smell of whisky. The officer felt of his pulse and made up his mind that it was a game to beat the court. He therefore began: A
 "Well, Mrs. Blank, I congratulate you. In few more hours you will be rid of him forever. He is great loafer and hard drinker, and but for this he would have died in State Prison."
 The wife opened her eyes in astonish- ment, and the officer continued:
 "Iu leave word with the undertaken as go down. Any sort of box will do, or may be they'll haul him out on the commons. It's of no consequence what becomes of these old soakers. You will be happy woman when the old galoot goes up the spout" r-
 At this point the dying man rose up, took 8 cool survey of the officer, and quietly observed:
 Sir, you are no gentleman No, sir, you are not I'm no soaker or loafer, and I want you to understand that I'm able to have as decent funeral as you can. You can take your old house and go to bangs with it for all of me. Mary, hand me my clothes, and we'll show this vulgarian that we can move out of this old shanty and into 8 residence in about forty minutes p
 In twenty minutes all their goods were

At the Horse Trough.
A FRIEND OF THE LATE HORACE GREELEY =. MISTAKES HIM FOR A TRAMP.

Once, before the Fourierite Society in Pike county, Pa., had failed, MT. Greeley paid visit to the spot. On his way back the stage coach broke several miles from Milford. MT. Greeley walked the rest of the way to Milford. He ar- rived in the condition of confirmed tramp. "Uncle Sammy" Dimmick kept the hotel then. He was bluff, curt man, but kind and generous. Horace Greeley was his idol. He had never seen him, but had often declared that he would consider it the prouSlest mo- ment of his life to meet the great Whig editor. When MT. Greeley entered the village after his long and dusty tramp, he chanced to stop at Dimmick's tavern. Uncle Sammy was In the bar-room, and in one of his worst humors. Mir. Gree ley walked up to him, and in his pecu- liar falsetto voice said:
 "I am very tired and dusty, sir. I would like to have a room where can wash my feet"
 Uncle Sammy looked the seedy and dirty stranger from head to foot. Be- ieving him to be an impudent tramp, he beloved out, in voice that could be heard over half the town:
 "A room to wash your feet in! Why, you impudent scoundrel, go out to the horse trough and wash your feetr'
 A large public trough stood in the I street at the corner of the hotel. MT. Greeley walked quietly out to it, took off his boots, and began washing his feet in the trough. Cornelius W. De Witt, father of John E. De Witt, the we'll known New York insurance President at that time kept store opposite Dim mick's tavern. He was also Whig, anc knew MT. Greeley. He saw the man al the trough washing his feet, and Uncle Sammy standing on the hotel piazzt looking at him with intense disgust De Witt walked over, recognized MT Greeley, and at once gave words to hi surprise. He beckoned Uncle Samm, to the spot.
 "Mr. Dimmick," he said, CT want t. introduce you to Horace Greeley, thu editor of the New York Tribune" l Uncle Sammy never recovered iron the modification he felt over his treat ment of the man he would have gone
 hundred miles to do honor to. MT Greeley took the matter good naturedly and spent several days with his WhiI admirer..

FARM AND GARDEN.
WASTES OF THE FARM.


 The Farmers Club, of Lakeville, Mass, discussed "The Wastes of the Farm" D.L. F. Swift said that among the wastes the first-named was paying taxes on unproductive land, of which some farmers have too much. Hedges suffered to grow upon headlands are another; continued blowing from year to year around field and turning the furrows out is @ waste. MT. Sampson said what is not utilized is wanted. He spoke of his farm and that of brother, that formerly kept twenty-six head of cattle, two horses, and fifty sheep, now keeps seven head, and they have to buy hay and grain to keep them through. He condemned composing as waste of labor. Pasturing by day and yarding cattle by night is farm waste. It is a waste to keep crops too long. Potatoes with shrinkage of 15 per cent. since last fall sell now for forty cents bushel. that would have brought sixty last fall. He thought it waste to put manure for four acres on eight acres. It is a waste for land to lie idle, as it grows less pro- ductive.
 APPLE TREE BoRERs.
 Apple tree borers are treated as fol- lows by s. Miller, as stated in the Raral World, who, last spring, wrapped thirty young apple trees with common news papers, which extended from fewinches underground to foot above. For ap- plying this wrapping, the soil was re- moved from about the base of the stem, and a cord passed around the top of the paper and half way down. The replaced soil held the paper at the bottom. At the end of the season the trees were ex- amined and not a borer was found in them. A few rods from these trees were others not thus protected, all of which were infested with borers, and some of them were nearly ruined by them.
 TIMBER EH
 It is asserted, and I have no doubt truly, that timber cut from the middle of June to the middle of August lasts much longer, especially when exposed to the weather as rails or the end buried in the ground like posts. Still, if cut in the other months of the year, the bark peeled off and the timber laid up on SUD- ports two feet or so from the ground, and permitted to season we'll before using it, would the difference, of endur- ance be so much? Many years ago I had white cedar fence posts cut in the winter, and as soon as the frost was out of the ground in the spring set them. In from seven to. eleven years the ends which were in the ground had mostly routed, while the parts out of it kept sound. then took them out, and as the bark had peeled off itself on theother end, and the posts were still long enough for the purpose, I reversed them, and set these well-seasoned ends in the ground. They have been thus used for several years, and as yet see no tend ency to rot, though I suppose they will not endure so long as if the timber had been cut in the summer, and then well seasoned before setting the posts. Rails cut in the winter, though laid up high and dry in a fence where they can season well, often rot rather rapidly.
