It Works Like a Charm!
The Automatic Cash Railway
System in use in our establish
ment. 1t would have been i'm
possible for us to have waited
upon the trade satisfactorily dur
ing the past three weeks of our
special sale without the aid of
this valuable automatic auxil-
iary.
We have recently added five
more stations, to keep pace
with the demands of our in
creasing business.
The cash is carried to the
cashiers desk upon an elevated
inclined railway, and is returned
in the same manner in a mo-
ment's time, thus doing away
with the delay and annoyance
Of the old system.
This, in connection with our
elevated bundle counter system,
enables us to wait upon Gus
toners in the shortest possible
time, the parcel being wrapped
at the elevated bundle counter
in the immediate vicinity of the
department at which the goods
are bought, causing little or NO
delay to the customer. Hav-
ing placed an additional line in
the center of our store for the
use of the ribbon and parasol
department, there is now no de-
partment in our house at which
the customer need be detained
beyond a reasonable time fol
either change or parcel.
We shall be happy to explain
the working of this ingenious
system to any who may MOI
have seen it if they will be kline
enough to make their wisl
known.

i Provoking Parrot.

In one OF the prettiest streets in
West Philadelphia is a pretty girl
who is the owner of bright and
talkative poll parrot. A few morn
ings since the lady stood at the win
dow drinking in the pure, crisp air.
Polly's cage stood in the same en-
brasure. but the lace curtain made
it scarcely distinguishable from the
outside. On the opposite side of
the street sauntered two young
bloods. enjoying their after-breakfast
cigarettes. Admiring glances were
cast toward that window and that
pretty girl, when suddenly they were
startled by clear Good morning.
gentlemenw They had not seen the
rosy lips move, but of course it was
the " divinity who had spoken no
one else was about. The youths saw
the opening to a delightful Irritation
and were just considering the next
move, when the voice again spoke ;
this time, Wouldn't you like to kiss
me, gentlemen?" fell upon their ears
Wouldn't they, though, and hasty
slrides were being made toward the
sharrning face and winning voice,
when the lady drew ASIDE the curtain
disclosing mischievous Polly in her
gorgeous cage, who continued to call
after the disappointed youths after
they disappeared down the street.
Wont you kiss me? do; ha-ha-ha :"

Reading Fu.Hy Articles.

Did you ever notice a woman
read a humorous article in a news
paper? No. Well, she invariably
has some crocheting or fancy work
with her, and she will pick UP a pa
per, lay it out fiat on a table and
start in, holding her work in her
hand all the time. She reads short
ways in the article and becomes in.
terested she drops her sewing Ian
guidly into herlap and bends over
the paper intently; as she reaches a
funny sentence she draws her chair
closer 10 the table and places her
left hand under the paper. Then
she continues, and as it becomes
more interesting her right hand
slowly slips under the other side,
she reads and her eyes becomes riv-
tied on the article, her whole mind
is centered on it and she thinks of
nothing else. Then, as it becomes
more and more ludicrous, a twich
about the eyes is noticed, and then
smile, and when it becomes ex-
cruciatingly humorous she laughs
aloud, buries her face in the paper
and convulses herself as if she had
never laughed before. After this
spasln is exhausted she again as
sumes a sober mein and proceeds
with the reading; again the twitch-
ing smile and roars, and so on to
the end, when she suddenly ex-
claims
Isn't it Just splendid ?"
How different with q man; he
sits down, cigar in mouth, grabs a
paper in both hands, tits back his
chair, throws his feet on the table
and launches right in as if nothing
in the world demanded attention
save this article. The silence of the
room is broken by a gruff ha, ha,
and YOU look at him and think ne
would shake himselfapart. Without
interruption Of any kind he finishes
the article and lays down the paper
with a smile and says: "It's the
best thing | ever read"

When l asked him what | should

speech of some great man, some
lawyer or statesman, SO learned
one ofColonel Bob Ingersolf fsspeech-
es. Well you'd a dide to see the

Il started on Bob Ingersolls lecture,
the one that was in the papers when
Bob was here. You see thought
il a newspaper that all the pious

wouldn't do any hurt for little boy,

speak it in school, but they made
me dry up. The teacher is repub-
likin, and when Ingersoll was speak
ing around here on politics, the
teacher said Bob was the smartest

heard him say that in corcus, when
he went bumming around the settin
'em up nights, 'specting to be super
intendent of schools. He said Bob
lngersoll Just took the cake, and l
think IL was darn mean in him to go
back on Bob and me too, just cause
there was no location. The school
committee made theteacher stop me,
and they asked me if | didn't know
any other piece to speak, and | told
them | knew one of Beecher's and
they let me go ahead, but it was one
of Beechers new ones when he said
he didn't believe in any hell, and
before got warmed up they said
that was enough of that, and | had
to wind up on Mary had a Little

and they let me 90 home. That's

Music at 1000 Miles.

The offices of the postal telegraph
company at 49 Broadway, n. Y,
have recently assumed an animated
appearance consequent upon the
great improvements made IN tele-
graphic transmission of sound,
which has been tested with such
marked success between Chicago
and that city. and the near approach
of the opening of the company's Of
fees along the line for general busi-
ness. The company have but one
wire to Chicago at present, but will
soon have two in operation. 1t is in-
tended to ground the wires at the
back of the city-at the stock yards
connecting that point by an un-
derground cable with the heart of
the city. The distance for under
ground wires is four miles. and as
there is but one mile of cable laid,
the work being necessarily slow, it
will require at least month more to
complete it, which will defer the
opening of the line to about the 1st
I Of June.
Satardav afternoon another test
was made with lcng distance tele-
phone, with better results than be-
fore, and it is generally believed that
with little perseverance it can be
made to work as well, if not better,
than the local short lines. Lengthy
conversations were carried on be-
tween the cities. Several of the Off
cials asked questions and received
answers very satisfactorily. Profess
sor GRAY whistled Yankee Doodle"
in the New York offices, which was
distinctly heard in Chicago, after
which the operator on the other end
sang ballad, every note of which
was distinctly heard by Journal re-
porter, who was allowed TO give the
+ instrument trial. The voice of the
singer, instead of being 1000 miles
away, seemed as il it were in an adj
I joining room, and the speaker talk
ing through the keyhole. Occasion
allv the words seemed to run into
each other, rendering it difficult to
catch the exact word, which would
have to be repeated. This was ex-
planned by the fact that the retard-
alton in overland wires is similar to
that of the submarine cable, which
rounds the corners of the articula-
ton. but by the time that .he
whole line is completed it is expect
ed The difficulty will be entirely
overcome.

BE WHAT YOU ARE.
II. Z. RANDAEL.

Whatever may be the attractions
That art to your person can lend,
Remember that people will find you
To be but yourself in the end.
If wanting in beauty Of person,
Don't think to supply it by pelf;
Although you may greatly correct it.
You'll never be aught but yourself
OR if you shpuld lack education,
Don't boast what you can't comprehend
Let all see your true situation,
And be but yourself in the end,
Then do not endeayor 10 be more,
Or know more than God has designed
Twill only increase your annoyance,
And show the true state of your mind.
Whatever may be your position,
You'll never advance very far,
If sighting your present condition,
You strive to be more than You are.
You may, it is true, by deception,
Gain short season of trust
But, sooner or later you'll find that
The season will end in disgust.
Be on the alert for improvement,
And if you advance very far,
You'll find that you're always respected
For being just what you are.

AUGUST.
PURE WATER FOR HOGS.

Ma. j. NJ. STAHL, writes as follows
on the above subject in the Amert-
can Agicutwsst for August.
Swine are subject to the same
laws that govern the health OF other
animals. Vegetable and animal
matters, in q decaying state, when
introduced into the system, are
detrimental to health. Such mat
ters are readily introduced with
water, being taken directly into the
stomach, soon pass to the intes-
tines, ETC., and become source OF
disease. Experience and observa-
tier have convinced us that large
rer cent of swine disease is pro-
duced by the disease germs being
carried into the stomach in foul
water. It is now believed that this,
and many other diseases, are due
TO minute organisms, SO low in the
scale of organic life, that it is diff
cult to say whether they are vegeta-
BILE or animal; they are known by
the general name of disease
germs" The vitality of these germs
is not great, except when preserv'
ed, as it is in water containing
organic substances. In the waite,
of pools, bitches, and ponds, their
vitality is preserved for some time
If hogs are forced to drink such
water, they take into their bodies
the seeds of disease.
In August, hogs suffer the most
from Wholesome water. During
this month they require much wa
ter, and 1t is more essential that il
be pure than during any other time
of the year. The sun is hot, the
air dry, the earth fat, small lugs
imbedded in masses of flesh ano
fat, and with its nostrils near the
the ground. It inhales dust, which
in part consists of decaying vege
tables. Everything conspires to
produce a fe7erish state OF the
body, and a great thirst, to be al
lsyed only by large quantities Of
cold water. But water from creeks,
ponds, and like, are at this season
the most heated. The greatest ia,
tality among swine is in September
and October. AS the period from
the inception Of the disease to its
fatal termination is from thirty to
forty days, it would appear that the
disease germs are most often taken
into the body of the animal in Au-
gust

The most useful thing in a long

The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1883-08-16

Sir Humphrey Davy found that
the most fertile soils, among those
which were ft for plowing and TIL
lage, would absorb the most mois-
ture from the air, and would also
retain the most moisture when
stirred and exposed to the sun.
This may be guide in selecting fields
for certain crops when the garden
er wishes to select a spot on which
to grow a premium crop, or an es
pecially good place for some choice
seed or plant. Care should be
taken, however, not to mistake a
field that is wet for lack of suffci
ent drainage for one such as is re
ferred to above.

THE USE OF A DRY WELL

There are certain household
wastes which can not be burned,
and will not decay on the compost
heap. These, in country place,
where the cart of The city scaven.
ger is unknown, will accumulate.
The articles we refer to are old
fruit cans; tinware, past mending;
saucepans, which a crack has rem.
dered useless; old bottles and leaky
stoneware jugs and jars. These
and others will accumulate, and
proper regard for neatness forbids
following a too common custom Of
throwing them into the road. If a
rubbish heap is established in and
out oi the way place, enterprising
boys will find it and scatter its ac
mu.ations. There is but one
effective way to dispose of rubbish
of this description-bury it. A dry
well is a useful adjunct to every
neatly kept country place, be it
large or small. In an out OF the
way come, dig well or pit, cover
it with,pieces Of plank to heavy for
children to remove, and drop into
this al kinds of indestructible
rubbish. When this well, which
need be but a few feet deep, is part,
ly filed. dig another near by, using
the earth taken ont to cover the
rubbish in well number one. This
efectrally disposes OF the unsightly
accumulations of rubbish, while the
amount of labor required is not
large, and the Incidental drainage
afforded may be benefcial.-Ameri-
cara Ag,Icultarist for august.
