The changes in the American methods
OF doing business have become marked OF
late years, but the manner of doing our
business on the part OF European manutac.
turets is suggestive. Formerly they sold
outright to American buyers. Now, a
msjority OF their wares are sent here di-
recIly 10 their own agents on'consignment,
and sold either to local jobbers or directly
TO dealers in the large cities and towns Of
the country. In this way they are enabled
TO sell much closer, and meet the increas-
ing competition OF domestic manufacturers.
To illustrate how we are progressing In
some OF the branches hitherto deemed most
difficult, the most perfect dyeing Of silks
and velvets in any part Of the world Is now
attained at Patterson, N. j., which likewise
sends nut the richest and choicest silks and
velvet ribbons known in trade. Existing
prejudice in favor Of an imported article,
however, is so great that our jobbers have
to send to France for the labels, straps, and
even the blocks, aud have the Patterson
ribbons wound upon and enclosed in them,
80 that ladies may bsta;is ied that they are
purchasing tie genuine French article.

GIRLS, DON'T GET MARRIED. Girls,
don't be in hurry to get married. II
you are but sixteen, don't allow such
an idea to get into your head for at least
four years. Don't even run the risk of
it by permitting any young man to get
as far as the proposing point. Fight
them off and make him wait or go away
to somebody who is ready. Don't live
under the impression that you must ac-
cept the first lovesick youth who pro-
poses. Be patient, deliberate, and ss-
gacious. There is world of happiness
for you between sixteen and twenty.
The world would be dreary old waste
if it were not for the sweet faces of
young girls, with their piquant sayings
and melting smiles. Your father has
bought you a piano, and you have
learned how to play after many long
and wearisome lessons. Don't spoil all
by getting married, for after that you
won't have much use for your piano.
After you have reached twenty, it would
be well to consider the matrimonial
problem with some seriousness.

The Bad and Worthless

are never initiated or coonterteited. This is es-
pecially true of family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy inaitatedis ofthe
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bit
ters was the purest, best, and most valuable
family medicine on earth, many limitations
sprung up and began to steal the notices in
which the press and people of the country had
expressed the merits of n. B., and in every
way trying to induce suffering invalids to
use their stuff instead, expecting to make
money on the credit and good name of H. B.
Many others started nostrums put up in SINH
lar style to Fl. B., with variously devised
names in which the word Hop or "Hops''
were used in way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those
with the word Hop" Of" Hops in their name
or in any way connected with them or their
name are limitations or counterfeits. Beware
of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch or clus-
ter of green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations or counterfeits.

The Electrical Chair.
from the Cheek.1


A wealthy pork packer who lives in
the south part of the city has lately in
vented an electrical chair. He has a
good looking daughter who is consid-
cred quite catch, and she is the recipi-
ent of considerable attention from the
young Washers of the neighborhood,
and the electrical cnair was invented by
the old duffer as kind of time-lock
protection against too many and too
prolonged visits from The la -da-dahs,-
Just before he goes to bed he carries all
the furniture out of the room but the
grand piano and the electrical chair,
and when the young man comes to call
the girl gives him the chair and takes
the piano stool for herself. The chair
is arranged to go off at $3.50 p. m., and it
has been noticed by the young lady that
the masher goes off about that time, toe,
or at least, very soon after.
He sits in the electrical chair building
air castles and weaving a web of rose.
colored lies foot and half thick, for
the sole edification of the pork packers
daughter, and just about the time he
wakes the most eloquent and glows with
warmth, love, and alteration, the cleo
trical chair commences to get its work
in on him and he curls up his legs in a
moment, and then spasmodically shakes
them out again. And then he feels aw.
fully cold, and there is a pricking up
the seams of his pants as though there
were an electric pen trying to turn him
into an autograph album, and he lists
over to one side as though his cargo has
shifted in the hold, and says "Ouch |!
Gosh! It's funny when you feel this
way" and the girl looks foolish and red
in the face, and then the youth doubles
up and rocks himself just as though he
had sudden attack of the cramp collie,
and grows white and tries to edge off
from the internal machine. Then he
attempts to take his watch out of his
pocket, but every time he touches the
metal he gets bigger shock, and then
be grows red in the face, cold sweat
starts on him all over the body, and he
leaps into the middle of the room and
howls. Then he makes q break for the
hall and climbs into his overcoat and
goes away with the sensation of a man
who has taken two hundred and ten
Masonic degrees in one evening, and
the next day the young lady writes him
a note calling attention to his horrible
condition the night previous and say
ing that he need not call on ber again
until he has learned TO leave whiskey
alone. But one of these fine evenings
after the young mau has been fred out
of the house by the electrical kicker, the
pork packers daughter will take no..
tion to rest herself in that chair, and then
the family will hear somebody squeal.
Talk about the various use to hich
electricity can be applied Why the
half hes never been told by the widest
of wild eyed Missionaries.

THE DAYS GONE BY.

oh, the days gone by! Oh, the days gone by!
The apples in the orchard and the pathway
through the rye;
The chirrup of the robin and the whistling OF
the quail
AS he piped across the meadows sweet as any
nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover and the
blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over-in the
days pone by!
In the days gone by, when my naked feet were
tripped
By the honeysuckle tangles where the water
lilies dipped,
And the ripple of the river tipped the moss
along the brink
Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed cattle
came to drink,
And the tilting snipe stood fearless of the tru-
ants wayward cry,
And the splashing OF the swimmer, in the
days gone by.
Oh, the days gone by! Oh, the days gone by!
The music Of the laughing lip. the lustre of the
eye;
The childish faith in fairies and Aiaddin's
magic ring
The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief in every
thing.
For life was like story holding neither sob
nor Sigh.

SHEEP FARMING.-Dairy farming is
more difficult and laborious than sheep
farming. Sheep culture has many adj
vantages over cattle raising, as also over
dairying. There is necessity for sheep
husbandry for meat production. The
rapid increase of population, the scarcity
and increasing price of beef, the infer
iority of pork in healthfulness and nu-
triton, tend to the increase of mutton
eating. And 1t is not the results in the
economy of meat and wool alone, we
may add, but from an economical stand
point in feeding the soil; no factor in
its wealth occupies a more prominent
position than sheep. This has been
tested and will be found to be most val
liable in its application to all the econo-
mics of farm establishment and develop
ment.

FEEDING CORN TO PIGs.-In feeding
corn ears to pigs 1t has been found best
to soak or boil them thoroughly. When
potatoes are fed TO pigs with corn in the
ear, large saving will be made by
cooking both together. The principal
nutrinent In the potatoes is the Is to 25
per cent. of starch they contain; when
these are fed raw the starch cells are not
broken, nor are the granules burst, and
SO large proportion of them pass
through the bowels uDdigested. When
cooked the starch and granules burst
open in similar manner to the grains
of popped corn, and then they become
digestible. BY boiling the potatoes and
corn together both are made more di-
gestibie, but the whole corn cannot be
swallowed so quickly as meal, in the
shape OF soft boiled mush, would be,
and is better masticated and mixed with
saliva before it enters the stomach.

catches" This term is condemnatory
of the system practiced by most farmers
to trust to the rains, which may not
come, to wash seed into the crusty
ground and under the hard surface
Meanwhile the hungry birds are feeding
upon them, because when swollen they
are readily discovered. It is good for
the birds, but the system makes light
catches" and light meadows. Some
farmers practice narrowing the winter
grain first, and then sowing the grass
seed, and afterward rolling. Unless the
land is very light, like sandy soil, 1
should prefer to SOW the grass seed first,
then harrow and not roll at all. / know
such a course produces good results.

BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-eoated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but efectual
cathartic is required.

LOVE AT THE GATE.

Love came beggar to her gate,
The night was drear, the hour was late,
And through the gloom she heard his moar
Where at the gate he stood alone.
His rounded form in rags was clad,
His weeping eyes were wan and sad;
But hid beneath his garb of woe
He bore his arrows and his bow.
She wept TO see the beggar weep,
She bade him on her bosom sleep,
His wretched plight allayed her fears,
She kissed and bathed him with her tears,
The merry eyes began TO glow,
The rosy hand essayed the bow,
The rough disguise was cast aside.
And laughing. Love for mercy cried.
Love came beggar to her gate,
More wisely than with pomp and state,
For who hath wonan's pity won,
May count loves siege and battle won.,

MY IDEAL.

A vision fair of girlish grace
A beaming, sparkling ,dimpIed face
Within my heart has found place.
A dainty little laughing sprite,
With eyes of brown, SO clear and bright,
To me they seem the source of light.
A girl with woman's nobler thought,
An ideal long and vainly sought,
On me her witching charm has wrought.
With spirits light as summer wind,
Frank in her speech, but ne'er unkind,
She's pure in heart and rich in mind.
Yet neither saint nor sinner she,
A happy medium, dear to me,
Replete with sweet humanity.
Then hear me, gentle little belle,
For through the sweet unconscious spell
My heart has learned to love thee we'll.
These simple lines, devoid of art,
Convey the homage of my heart,
Which from thine own shall never part.

FIFTY YEARS APART.

They sit in the winter cleaning,
And the fire burns bright between.
One has passed seventy summers,
And the other just seventeen.
They restin happy silence
AS the shadows deepen fast:
One lives in coming future,
And one in long, long past.
Each dreams of rush of music,
And question whispered low:
One will hear 1t this evening,
One heard 1t long ago.
Each dreams of q loving husband,
Whose brave heart was hers alone;
For one the joy is coming,
For one the joy has flown.
Each dreams Of a life of gladness
Spent under the sunny skies;
And both the hope and the mem'ry
Shine in the happy eyes.
Who knows which dream Is the brightest I?
And who knows which is the best?
The sorrow and Joy are mingled,
But only the end is rest.

Taxes reduced to forty cents on the
dollar - Rinhaaanaad ILZbict

IaXeS reduced TO forty cents on the
dollar.-Richnlond Wing.
Yes, upon the motion of the Demo-
cratic member from this county, who,
supporting his motion by an effective
speech, compelled the Mahoneites to
vote for reduction of taxation or to put
themselves on record against it. After
deliberation and delay, for they waited
until the bill reached the Senate, they
determined on the former. The Whig
in cotemporsneous issue stated edito-
rally that if this reduction should ter
inmate advantage1usly for the State,
then the Mahoneites were entitled to the
credit by reason of their majority, and,
if injuriously, then the Democrats were
to blame for having originated it. Upon
this principle of "heads 1 win, tails
you lose," the Wing is now claiming
the reduction of taxes as an act of the
radicals. Mahoneism is reckless in
what it appropriates.-W Win. Times.
