Clean Up.

August Is usually considered the
most sickly month in the year, gener-
ally because the most Sultry and
lniasmatic. Too much care cannot be
taken to have all ottal and decayed
matter removed from the premises to
some point where it can do no harm
or to have it burned. Waternelons,
cantoloupes, ..apples, peaches, pears,
tomatoes, cabbage and other fruit and
vegetables abound HAT make all exces.
sive amount of retus" matter and that
soon becomes very offensive if permit
ted to tester and rot IN the hot sun.
This decaying mass poisons the at
mosphere, which even at night per-
meates dwellings and can be detected
in the air we breathe. Even if it does
not produce sickness, it is very often
sive to the nostrlls and creates sick
ening and disgusting nausea in the
highest sense disagreeable, but there
are ten chances TO one of it produ
cling malarious diseases. Tie air al
present anyhow is laden with mi.
asmas enough without adding to
decayed vegetable matter for it to feed
upon. Those therefore who desire I,
maintain health should see to it tina,
noEe of this refuse is permitted TO ac
formulate in cellars or about theil
premises where its decomposition pro
duces greatly enlarged deleterious eff
fects. The cellar of all other places abou
the house should be kept clean anG
well ventilated,

A judicious system Of advertising Is
essential to success in heprosecutioh of
nearly every branch Of business. To
fill store-room with goo Is and then
say little or nothing about them, may
well be likened to lighting lamp and
placing it under a bushel measure. Our
advice is to every merchant to procure
convenient sore room for business
fllit with attractive goods, ask moderate
prices, employ polite and accommo-
dating statesmen, advertise in the paper
having the largest circulation in the
vicinity, and then the citizens will soon
find where their wants can be mos
fully supplied. If the course We have
mapped out be carefully pursued, a
large business will be done and a fortune
eventually be made. Neglect, how.
ever, in any department, will have d
baneful effect, if it does not lead to
bankruptcy. There must be good
stock Of goods kept in order that people
may be accommodated when they call
Empty shelves will lead to disappoint-
ment and disgust that cannot be over
come by any representation through
advertisement or otherwise.
There is, however, great deal of in
judiciOus advertising. Many adyer-
tisers make such selections of papers as
to lead to the inference that their in ell.
ton or object is to benefit the pro-
prietors of said papers, instead of
promoting their own interests. 1t is the
height of folly, a wilful waste of
money, to place an advertisement in q
paper that very few persons read, when
there are other papers that go into the
hands of nearly every citizen. Of
course merchants and others can do as
they please with their own affairs, anG
if they chose to expend their money in
such way that it brings no ad quate
return, it is nobody's business but their
own. When an individual, however, is
acting for another person, for corpo-
ration, or for the benefit of
orphans or creditors, he is in
honor bound to advertise in such
paper that will give it the greatest
publicity. If he does not do so, he is
faithless to his trust, and deserving If
censure. He has no right to allow his
political feelings or prejudices to sway
him in such q matter. In our city the
REPUBLICAN as an advertising medium
is unexcelled, and those who advertise
in it will more fully obtain the desired
publicity than can be effected by any
other method. Its circulation is unpre-
cedented among all classes, and the
evidence ofthis can be obtained any day
by visit to our press room, and also
by noticing the myriad of boys who
clamor like wild Indians for the copies
as they are printed.

NOTHING seems to pan out 80 well in
the popular amusements the day as
Mr.. Sullivan's sparring exhibition. The
fact that over ten thousand people at
tended his levee on Monday night, in
which he knocked Slade, the Maori, out
of time in truly entertaining and
scientific manner, shows the popularity
of such exhibitions. The further fact
that from $4,000 to 100000 were real
lied, will no doubt, be temptation
for benevolent institutions to engage
these scientific fsticutfians to give ex-
hibitions Of sparring. Those crude, nm
NJ sophisticated persons who hold up their
hands in holy horror at the thought Of
having an exhibition of the manly art
of tistiC science would no doubt cling to
the old wheel of fortune and chance
book.

Fashion Notes.

CarrickmacrosS cOllerettes and deep
cuffs are very popular garnitnre for
plain, untrimmed dinner dresses of
dark velvet.
Buckles for trimming, both in mil
linery and dressmaklng, are finding ia
vor. A pleasant combination Is steel
set with false gems.
Real sealsklii, dyed almost black, are
brought out for ladies in mourning, and
for those who prefer an entirely black
costume.
Wool, silk and velvet are all com
bined i'll one costume, and yet this is SO
effectively accomplished that the result
is perfect in its way.
For elderly and middle-aged ladies
nothing can be more beautiful than the
reception and dinner dresses of gray
satin embroidered with smoked pearls.
Soft silk and surah evening dresses
Moresque lace, the Falenciennes laces
being used on the heavier silks and
light velvets.
English bonnets of this season are
large, many of them being copies in
chenille of the summer bonnets in straw
English hats are also quite large, and
many OF them have the eccentric brims
of last season.
Double chenille fringes, put down the
front and in plastOn below the waist
line on the back of short wrap, but
not around the garment, has the effect
of narrowing the figure, and should be
used by short and stout women.
Velvet spotted Ottoman silk is stylish
when combined with plain velvet. A
Pan sian dress for walking or driving
has moss green silk with red and brown
velvet dots for the baSqde, with blouse
vest Of plain brown satin. The skirt is
brown velvet and the panniers of the
spotted silk.
Smoky hues are the fashion with
English ladies; there are smoke-blue,
smoke-green and smoke-gray shades
that are toned down by IL simmer
that is shadow-like and @ives Il charm
ing effect. Smoke-blue IS trimmed
with garnet, and sunny brown is com
bined with green.
Swiss belts of leather or velvet are
worn by young ladies with cloth
dresses. They are made with points
in front, the upper one small and the
lower very long, and the back is
plain, straight band. Jet belts of fine
beads very close together are worn with
velvet waists.
