ADVERTISING.

A correspondent in tho Ameri-
can Newspaper Reporter has the
following about advertising:
The man who says he don't be.
lieve in advertising is doing just
what he deprecates. He hangs a
coat outside of his door or puts
dry goods in his windows-that'a
advertising.
He has printed cards laying on
his counter-that's advertising.
He sends ont drummers through
the country, or puts his name on
his wagon-that's advertising.
If he has lost his COW, he puts
q written notice in the post office,
or tells his sister-in Law and
that's advertising, too.
He has his name in gilt letters
over the door-wha. is that but
advertising?
He paints his shop green OF
red; or, if a tailor, be wears the
latest style; if a doctor, hs has a
boy call him out OF church in
haste; if an auctioneer he keeps q
pile of boxes OH his sidewalk in
front of his store-and all for ad.
vertising.

continued drouth into one means
of restoring or supplying elements
OF fertility of which many soils
have been depleted BY constant
cropping. Mineral ingredients
are indispensable to good crops.
Chemical research has shown that
an explanation for falling pro.
ductiveness of soils that were
originally rich, is found in many
cases in the exhaustion of inor-
ganic or mineral constituents
within the reach Of the roots of
the plants. Manures and ju-
dicious rotation of crops are the
expedients Of the provident and
intelligent husbandman in re-
storing or supplying these in
gradients which are taken away
more or less BY what il removed
BY the land in the shape of farm
products. A very dry season
may be accepted az not utterly
Improbable, for BY a wise pro-
vision the ingredients, 20 much
needed are brought up from
depths below the reach of ordi>
nary farm crops, and in this way
when there is q long period Of
hot and dry weather a vast
amount of moisture is carried
from the earth BY evaporation,
and in the process of capillary at
traction, the moisture, which has
been stored by previous rainfalls
and snow. is brought from depths
that vary according to the tex
ture Of the soil and the severity of
the drouth. With the water
comes, in solution, a proportion
of the inorganic or mineral con-
stituents of plants, which are thus
deposited within the reach of
present or future erops-that is,
where they are needed and will do
the most good.

WOMEN'S SHOES.

backward, and gives steadiness to

THE FLY's NOSE.

Prof. Geo. Macloskie, of Prince
ton College, recently read a paper
before the New York Academy OF
Sciences on the Proboscis OF
the House-Ay.' The wall behind
the desk at which the professor
stood was decorated for the oc-
casion with diagrams showing
highly magnified sectious Of the
body of the common house, fly, OF
Muscs Domesticus.' There were
also some pictures Of exaggerated
cockroaches and . representation
of an enormous lobster, more than
three feet long-so large in fact
that the teeth in his spoon
shaped jaws could be distinctly
seen. AS for the picture OF that
instrument of torture, the pro-
boscis of the fly, it resembled in
shape and size y rife with the
barrel broken off whore it meet,
abe stock, and q large warm po>
tato stuck on. The potato would
represent what some naturalists
would call the tip and what
others would call the knob of
the proboscis. Prof. Macloskie
declared that it was . mistake to
say that flics bite, the testimony
of all mankind to the contrary
Notwithstanding. They didn't
bite they only filed. 1t was for a
long time said BY naturalists that
this knob at the end of a fly's
proboscis was made up of muscu>
lar tissue, by which the owner
was enabled to rub his teeth, 30
to speak, into tho flesh of suffer-
ing humanity. Later investiga-
ton has demonstrated the fact Of
small rods, the sharp end of which
projected = little beyond the end,
making q surface similar to that
of a very sharp aud effective file.
The lecturer went on to describe
Just how the flies 60 to work to
file q persons face. Having dis,
covered q minute speck of some
thing palatable, the fly first drops
q little saliva upon it to moisten
or dissolve tho dainty morsel.
This done he goes to work with
his file, executing q movement
like that of a pig when roofing up
the earth. Having gathered up
enough for . swallow he draws
up his proboscis, empties the food
into his mouth and chews it. To
provo that flies have teeth, al
though they were 20 located a.
not to enable them to bite any sx-
ternal object, the professor passed
ronnd a specimen of o fiy's jaws.
adjusted under tho objective glass
of microscope, and showing of
the Ay's back teeth to great ad
vantage. The mosquitoes appar'
atus was very different. That In
teresting New Jersey bird wal
provided with a number of lance

When Robin came a-courtinp me.
A comedy youth was be,
While was but a country lass.
As simple as could Be;
always blushed-was i'll at ease
Whenever he was BY;
And felt so very. very queer,
Icannos tell you why.
The flowers he brought hid away
Within a secret nook:
He never guessed how dear they were,
Or knew what pains / took
10 keep them long; and when they grew
Quite faded, old and dry,
My tears fell on them like q dew,
l cannot tell you Why.
Each gift he gave. each word he spoke
10 me was very dear;
And yet was but half myself
Whenever he Was near;
As restless as the startled favn,
As timid and a. shy,
was-and yet he courted me,
/ cannot tell You why.
Oh. there were maidens fair to SEQ,
Bedecked with many a gem,
Who would have smiled delightedly
Had Robin courted them;
And In those strangely pleasant days,
nsed 10 wonder why
He sighted these, and chose instead
A sweetheart such as /.
He seemed uncertain of his fate.
Until one summer day
He came and told mo quietly
That he was going away;
When at once grew sick at heart,
And thought that should die.
Oh. lovers, who are loath to part.
Perhaps you'll tell me why.
And then he urged me to become
His wife without delay;
As If had been stricken dumb,
had no word to say;
My heart boat fast; my lips in vain
Essayed to make reply;
But Robin did not 60 away
/ need not tell you why.
