Docs Advertising Paw

The Portsmouth (Va) Times says it
is sometimes questioned by merchants
whether advertising pays. The ques-
ton will hardly bear discussion in the
Light OF tho following facts, rates for
transient dvortisements being figured ;
THE Chicago Tribune, it is said, for a
column year receives $4,000. The
New York Herald receives for its low.
est priced column S39,723, and for its
highest $3i8,000. The New York IriU-
atle for its lowest $29,76i, and for its
highest $S5 GAS, and these papers nre
never at loss for advertisements to I'll
their columns. Their patronage comes
not from any desire to assist tue respect
i've papers, but from business men who
find it profitable to advertise"
II does pay. A fow days ago friend
of ours had gone into manufacturing
house in Baltimore in search OF mining
machinery. II was his intention to give
an order for machinery for delivery
within the next three months, which
would have given the house profit Of
not less than $500. While he was
talking, solicitor called for m advor-
tisement OF machinery for a mining
journal. he was told that tho firm did
not advertise, Our friend bowed him
self out, and this notice may advise the
firm why he never returns. He prefers
to place his money with firms having
enterprise and an eye to business, and
will buy OF those who can afford to ad'
vertise.
A firm Of manufacturers in Philadal-
phia placed an advertisement in jour.
nal as an experiment They were econ
omical Quahers, and commehced spar.
ingly. Within three months their adj
vertisements were running in seven
different publications, and there is no
question with them about it's paying.
AS well might an enterprising firm try
TO save postage as the cost Of adyertis-
ing. Customers go to those who most
persistently extend them an invitation
Advertising pays an hundred fold.

upon man knowing these peculiarities.
They are in both the paper and the plate
and type printing Of the note. First
notice Che paper II is distinguished
by its peculiar pink color. Such paper
is never seen, and is made and used for
no other purpose. See how thin and
transparent it is Those qualities are
made specially TO prevent any portion
Of tho printing being erased by the
knife or acid washing, the two speciali-
ties of American counterfeiters and for
gers. Take the note in your hand 1t
is peculiarly tough and crisp. These
qualities are brought out by the paper
being made entirely from new linen
and cotton, and not from rags.
Do you see the peculiar water-mark
or wire-mark, as it is called2 That is
produced by special mold used when
Che paper is in pulp. Two notes are
placed in the mold when they are in the
pulp and divided lengthwise. Hence
the top and bottom, or long edges, are
always rough. This deckie cannot be
initiated by cutting. The paper is also
exceedingly strong. 1t is said that
bank-note evenly adjusted will Lift a
hundred pounds weight without tearing.
Do you see the difficulties aforger must
overcome before he can even produce
the paper on which tho note is printed2
Every process described requires the
skill OF an artisan, whose high renmuera-
tion keeps him from any necessity Of
dishonesty, and necessity makes the ma
iority OF Thieves. Look at the printing
Besides the water or wire work, which is
beautifully regular and intricate, plate
print is Autographed over the face OF
the note. Then the type printing is
done. The paper is moisteued first by
atmospheric pressure, 10000 double
notes being dampened in hour,
The printing ink is also made at the
Bank Of England, from linsoed oil and
the CHARGED husks and vines OF Rhen-
ish grapes, which produces impressions
OF peculiar velyety black, especially
in tine heavier figures. After printing,
the notes are numbered by a machine,
which, unlike a man, cannot err, and
lastly are endorsed by the secretary.
Tho bank notes are printed in type ON
the side OF the paper that receives the
water mark, and even in the event Of
the note being split, another Of the for
gers fayorite tricks, the imprinted sur
face would only retain a slight trace OF
the typs and water mark"

Jumbo on His Muscle.

Jumbo took it into his capricious
head recently that no would like little
more liberty, aud so he braced himself,
aud placing his enormous head against
the side Of the building, walked through
it apparently as easy as il it were paper.
Previous to his return with the travel
ing show the corner designed for him in
tho elephant quarters was overlaid with
plank, crossed and reorossed, spiked
and boiied, until wall nearly foot
thick had been formed and ii was
thought that nothing on earth could
tear it down But he pried of the
boards with his tusks, and made quite a
hole In that way. Then no went
through what was left with the greatest
ease. Ho wasn't a big ugly about Il; it
was only one Of his playful iroaks. AT.
ter he reached the open air he was as
quiet and gentle as a lamb, and walked
all around the grounds unconcernedly,
in charge Of Mr.. Scott, his English
trainer. His prodigious strength can
hardly be realized He will snap OF a

A Fish Pond for Carp.

Seth Green, the eminent piscicul
turist, writes new way OF supplying
families with fish. He says:
MY opinion has often been asked
how a carp pond should be constructed
for family use. Tho pond can be made
in any shape to suit the locality, but ]
would prefer egg.shapo, il the locality
WINS lust as suitable for it. The pond
would breed flies Of great many
kinds, one Of tho kind being mosquitoes.
Tho laryp of fios is the best food for
young fish. have bred them by the
hushel, but some of the mosquitoes
would be apt to take wing before the
pend got well stocked with yonpg FISH,.
and to protect the family in Il measure
I would advice building the pond to
the leeward of tho house in the pre-
yailing winds OF the locality. Ii, for
instance, the prevailing wind was from
the west, tho pond would be built to the
east, northeast, or southeast Of the
house. would prefer the pond TO tho
northeast or southeast, because II placed
directly TO the cast, the house would
make u lee under which the mosquitoes
could easily reach it.

Young fish will have NO protection from
the old ones. When sofaping is COM
menced, carry the dirt as far back as
you intend making the lower outside
Of your embankment, and keep soraping
until the pond is four to Dix feet deep in
bhe center. II the locality is such that
the ice freezes very thick, tho pond
should be made deeper and holes kept
open through the ice during the winter

The embankment is raised three feet

SIabblng His Cont Collar.

some years ago a story came from
Paris that Il criminal condemned to
death had been executed in n novel way
and without blood.letting. The cnlprit
was blindiolded and laid on marble
slab, after being informed tina. no was
to be bled TO death. a needle was used
with which TO prick his arm, and, as the
point touched him, drops of warm wator
were sprinkled 80 that they ran down
his side, aud, TO the condemned, it an.
peared that he was bleeding to death.
In little while che experiment proved
successful, and the man expired; such
was the force Of imagination. a case
somewhat resembling this was brought
to the notice Of q policeman in IN east
ern town short time ago. AS no passed
by a building he saw man lying on his
back at the entrance. The strangers
hands We're crossed upon his breast,
aud his legs were close together. Ag
the policeman afterwards said, "He
looked every inch corpse" The face
was bloodless. The eyes were closed
as though in death. The handle of a
jack-knifo protruded from point be.
tween Che collar and jugular vein. The
blade was hidden. The policeman
jumped to the conclusion Of suicide.
he took hold OF tho knife and drew it
out OF its resting place. Tho blade was
unsullied. Being aroused, the man
said he had attempted suicide. Instead
OF woundisg himself, he merely stabbed
the collar OF his coat. Then he felt that
he was dying. Visions of father, mother
and homo passed through his mind, he
said, only for a moment, and then be
became unconscious. He was, perhaps,
just entering the spirit land when the
policeman called him back.
