BsgD Emory Storrs, the reparteeist, tells a
story of man who bought a bill of goods
for 81 900. The firm being suspicious of their
customer put $3O0on theirusual prices. The
customer could only raise $! 200, which was
theregular rate, the rest being in excess. He
said he would give his note for the remain
der, and they took it, Then he said he was
in the habit of receiving Il present on max
ing so large bill. They gave hima necktie.
He bitterly objected to such Il mean little
present. The proprietors then concluded to
present him with his note for the $500. He
took it with a look of cunning, and then
said: "Mr. AleXanders, I think / will pre-
fer the necktic, if it's just the same to YOU"

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.-The most
successful business men in the world are
liberal and persistent advertisers. Some
men, it is true, do not know how to adver-
tise, but the judicious advertiser looks after
his advertisements as he does any other part
of his business, and changes them often.
The advertisements Of the business man
who sends in new copy for change every
few weeks are read with as much interest
as any other part Of a newspaper, and it is
such advertising as this that pays:
But man should be as consistent and
honest in writing out his advertisements as
in dealing with his customers. II Il mer-
chant has good thing to advertise it will
pay him to advertise it, but to insure per-
-manent success the article advertised must
be all that it is represented to be in print !;
if found otherwise it is sure, sooner or later,
to iniure the house that misrepresents, for
the public will not be imposed upon long.
G.. G.. Shayne, the great fur manufacturer,
who is himself liberal advertiser, says a.
r.. Stewart built up name and fortune by
adhering to strict business principles. He
never deceived the public He advertised
facts. The public had confidence in his in
tegrity, and when he made an announcement
f1ocked to his store year after year, knowing
that they would not he deceived. His great
success was the reward Of honest dealing.
1t is to be regretted that many Of the mer-
chants of to-day do not adhere to the hon
est rule of advertising facts. Their idea is
to insert any kind of an advertisement
that will draw a crowd, and this kind Of
advertising soon destroys public confidence
TIE ART OF READING.-IIere is a short
sermon and Il timely one, which we Gull
from the New York Freens(0a's JoWWai:
TO teach children to read without 1T the
same time teaching them the principles and
practice of Christian morality, is to spread 4
table covered with good and poisonous food
and to leave them to feed or to injure them
selves as they choose. An examination OF
the kind of literature read by the majority
of people, young and old, who have ac-
uuired the art of reading, is sufficient to
show that "little learning is Il dangerous
thing"
Police Gu=ettes fill the news stands and are
eagerly bought by mobs Of men and boys
who have learned to read, but not how to
utilize their knowledge to their own advan-
tagc The Police Gdzette is one of those
sheets, the proprietor of which has become
rich in presenting vice to the public in an
appetizng form; yet it is read by men,
women and children. No barber shop can
afford to be without it. Its coarse prints
stare from the news-stands at all railroad
stations. It's poison is spread everywhere

cite the imagination, confuse the memory,
distort life; but they are read nevertheless; ;
and in some families they form the only
reading matter. Agood book is never read,
for these people have not been tau ght to
choose good books. They have been taught
to read.
The art of reading has come to be regard
ed as a life preserver, with which anybody
can venture into the sea of life and be saved.
1t is sufficient for salvation, says popular
opinion, without Christianity or morality!
The world is old but this is the first century
of its existence that sane men have held
that the art Of reading can save society
from dissolution.
How IDEAS CoME.-A certain lawyer JUS
tifies his pet hobby, which iscarpenterWork,
not merely by the healthy relaxation OF ner-

law reading comes back to him then, out OF
the way precedents recur to the mind, the
very text of the law book is never so clearly
before him as then. He has a glimpse OF
the volume and the page, and the very part
of the page on which is some needed clta-
ton which he would otherwise have long
to seek.
Nor is it only memory which works when

NOT A MERRY WAR.

The Difficulty Between New YORK MIX
Dealers and Producers Not Settled.
New YORK, March 22.-Excepting that
the shortage of milk in this city is even
greater to-day than yesterday, the
aspect of the battle between the
milk dealers and producers remains un-
changed. The dealers who are
unconnected with the milk exchange are
hourly growing more restive as they see
their business brought to stand still and
their future prospects jeopardized, and it
IS certain unless settlement is at once
effected they will take the matter out of
the hands Of the exchange. The proposition
on the part of the exchange to pay 81
cents per quart for the latter halt of the
month of March, which was rejected by
the representatives of the producers yester-
day, will be submitted to the meeting of
farmers to be held at Goshen this after.

The 2SIg H9S.

The big hog, lately exhibited in several
places in this county and raffied off several
times, was killed at the Cross Keys hotel
to day. The slaughter attracted quite a
crowd of curious spectators, and great
many bets were made on the weight of
the hog. "Guess boxes" were put up and
there were considerable Sums of money
deposited in them to be awarded to the
person who may most nearly guess the
weight of the hog after it shall be dressed.
The butchering was done under the man.
agement of the veteran Peter Lutz.
This afternoon the hog was placed on
the scales and it weighed 1,092 pounds
dressed, but some parties claim that it was
not dressed as closely as it should have
been.
80 There were about h0ndred ten cent
guesses in the box, and the contents, about
ten dollars were paid to John Shenk, who
guessed 1000 pounds ; the porker dressed
1,092.
