Money to be Made.

. 1t is said that dull times are not
known by the agents for the great
publishing house of George Stinson
" Co., of Portland, Maine. The rea-
son of this exceptional success is
found in the fact that they always
give the public that which is
keenly appreciated and at prices that
all can afford. AT present we under
stand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines. They
need many mOre-agents in all parts
Of. the country. Those who need
profitable work should apply at once.
Women do'a well as men. Exper-
ience is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stinson Il Co., undertake to show all
who are willing to work, not hard
but earnestly, the path to large sue
cess. 1t should be remembered that
an agent can do handsome business
without being away from home over
night. Another advantage-It costs
nothing to give the business a trial
and an agent can devote all his time,
or only his spare moments to it. Stin-
son Il Co., guarantee grand success to
all who engage and follow simple
and plain directions that they give.
We have not space to explain all here,
but full particulars will be sent fr4e
to those who address the firm; their
full address is given above,

trees in the vicinity. He first of all digs
hole in the ground hard by, and then
cuts in the tree v-shaped incision,
with machete, as high as he can reach.
The milk is caught as it exudes and
flows into the hole. As soon as the flow
from the cuts has ceased the tree is cut
down, and the trunk raised from the
ground by means of an improvised
treste. After placing large leaves TO
catch the sap, gashes are cut throughout
the entire length, and the milk carefully
collected. When it first exudes the sap

cream, but it turns black on exposure
to the air. When the hole is filled with
rubber, it is coagulated by adding bard
soap or the root of the mechvacan.
which have most rapid action, and
prevent the escape of the water that is
always present in the fresh sap. When
coagulated sufficiently, the rubber is
carried on the backs of the hunters by
bark thongs to the banks of the river
and hoated down on RATS. The annual
destruction Of rubber trees in Columbia
is very great, and the industry must
soon disappear altogether, unless the
Government puts in force law that
already exists, which compels the hunt
ers to tap the trees without cutting them
down. If this law were strictly carried
out there would be good opening for
commercial enterprise, for rubber trees
will grow from eight to ten inches in
diameter in three or four years from
seed. The trees require but little at
tention, and begin to yield returns soon

ends at Wasllington or continues on
to Baltamores Philadelphia; or New
Y0rk,the opportunity Of visiting tie
National Capital is the greatest
charm given % Eastern travel. This
is apopilafideas and net tperely the
expression Of a small Minority, and
there is but One Rome from Louis
kgiile.by which Washington may be
visited without one or more changes
of cars-the only Solid Train Route
to the National Capital being the
Chesapeake and Ohio. The Solid
Trains run on fast express time. and
are composed of new and, elegant
Pullman Drawing-Room and Sleep
ing.=Cars, Day-Coaches, and Baggage
Cars, and no charge of cars whatever
is made between Louisville anil
Washington. Tickets 10 Philadel-
phia and New York, VIA Washing
ton, can only be purchased by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Route. No
other line sells sucli tickets, and by
no ether line can the trip 20 Philadel,
phia aud New York be made with
out long and tedious transfer. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Sold Trains
connect in the same depot;,in Wash
ihetpn; with fast Express Trains for
Baltimore, PhiladeIphia, and New
York. No unpleasant change ofcars
is necessary by this route.
About f0til"hundred miles of trav-
el through the Virginias is accom-
plished between daylight and dark,
and the majestic beauty, and wen
derfulIy-yaricd character OF the
scenery Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Route is uhequaled in America. The
ragged grandeur in the canons Of
New River, and the awe-inspirine
seen 'ry Of the Alleghanies, is sue
ceeded in strong contrast by the love-

the batlle-fields of Barboursville,

For six months from December 16,
1884, the leading attraction as a great
fNghtand landmark in the progress
OF civilization, is the New Orleans
Worlds Industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition. This is the
grandest exhibition of products and
industries in the long list which ha.
followed that of London, in 1851.
II grew out of an idea which was
far less comprehensive in the begin
ming than is now seen III the huge
development which surprises all VII
itors. It's projec ors thought of con-
fning the exhibit to a display of thu
