Spool Silk Agency
The Brainerd & Armstrong
Co., Spool Silk Manu-

HAVING no Office west of Philadelphia,
- would like one good merchant in Sioux
Falls, Yankton, Bismarck and Deadwood to
take the retail agency of either place.
Merchants will please consider the following
strong points:
lst-0ur SPOOL SILK is admitted to excel in
smoothHess and strength. and to have the
best shades of any silk in the United
States or the world.
We refer to Wanamaker, of Philadel-
phia, Macy, of New York. and to the
largest and best houses of the Eastern and
middle states.
2d-By giving to one of the best merchants of
each of these towns the agency of our
Silk. it concentrates sales, gives them a
speciality and brings to the merchant
larger trade than when twenty people in
the same town keep thesam goods.
Sd-Obtaining large sales with no travelling ex-
penses enables us to make special and
liberal arrangements with the merchant,
so he can afford to retail our silk as low
as consumers now pay for cheaper goods.
We respectfully solicit correspondence with
any good merchant in these towns or any large
places in Dakota.

Everybody makes mistakes; bu
net everybody acts 10 the came way
in view Of mistakes. One man be
comes completely demoralized wher
be finds out that he has made bac
blunder, and he either goes blunder
ing on blindly, or he drops his task
in despair and leaves the mistake t.:
right itself, or to carry confusion into
the work of others. Another more
wisely, as soon as he peIceives his
mistake, recti6es it as far as he can,
wins new lessons of possible peri
from it, and nerves himself to greater
carefulness in the future. These two
methods OF treating mistakes lead to
widely different results. In a very
epidemic Of startling railway disas.
ttrs in England some years ago, it
was clearly proved that the greater
number Of accidents happening at
that time were due 10 the demorali,
zation amcpg engine drivers and sig,
nalmen occasioned by the occurrence
OF two great disasters in rapid auc
cession. That Was the legitimate re
sult of letting the mistake master the
mtn. On the other hand, when the
man masters the mistake, victory l.
won from defeat, aud success from
failure. In consequence Of a serie.

Prussia learned well the lesson taugh'
by her mistakes of then; and it il
chiefly in consequence of th,t apti
tude to learn from mistakes unwit
tingly made, that the German army
is to-day the strongest united land
force in the world. There are always
two ways Of treating mistake. The
easiesf way is to le: it alone, and to
make no attempt to correct it or to
learn any thing from it. The best
way, however, is to stop the mischief
induced by the mistake, as far as you
can, and 80 to learn the secret of your
mistake, that you need never make
it again. Tlas is the one way of at

Goed News for The Deaf.
Leo Ehrlich's Invention, Which, he
sass. win Perform Wonders.
st. louis Republican.

ST. Louis Republican.
Leo Ehrich, former secretary OF
the Humane Society, has invented
a device which will cause all the deaf
people il the land to call him blessed.
1t consists Of a contrivance which can
be located in the handle of a cane,
umbrella, pa, asol or fan, and which,
when placed to the ear of a deaf per-
SOD, will cause him or her to hear
any sound audible to the ear OF a
person who is not afflicted with deaf
ness. The device which produces
these effects is tube ab,ut six inches
long placed in the hollow of a Malac-
ca cane. In the tube is co e shaped
electric coil beginning at small bat
terry at the lover end of the tube and
terminating in the birds bill. The
vibration Of this coil causes multi
plicaticn Of any sound or noise pass
ing into the tube through several Sits
/! in the side of the cane. The cane
and tube together weigh about SIX
ounces, and the whole outfit looks
like an ordinary Malacca walking
lstick with silver head.
How did I happen to invent it p
said Mr.. ELrlich, in reply to ques.
tion. well, it was the necessity OF
my own case. was 80 deaf that it
lnterfered with my social and busi-
ness duties. had been treated for
my ailment in Paris, Vienna and in
this country, and l still grew worse
so I set about to invent something
that would cure me, and the 1esul,
surprised me. I can now hear at
we'll as you can, and without the use
of the cane. 1t is very simple. Ii
is simply multiplication OF sound
by electricity and the projection OF .
steady current Of electricity against
tae weakened or paralyzed nerves
and tissues Of the ear. There is mol
degree Of deafness in which mai
cannot hear with this, even if TIT
ear drum is destroyed ; of course i
won't make q new ear drum, but j
will make him hear. 1t is simply ;
multiplication table in the shape o
sound. Here is one Of the feature
of it. When man is near sighte,
. he can get pair of glasses and nj
one takes any notice Of 1t; but whel
. man is deaf he must either lug al

Chattanooga Times.

NTHtetofoOS~ ASSo'
care you really deaf and dumb 2"
This was the question addressed BY a
Times reporter yesterday to dwarf,
ish looking negro boy who was lean
leg against a brick wall on Market
street. He is small, thick set, and
coal black. He has large, wide, open
eyes, but his features have the dull,
stolid lock so commonly seen in muter.
As the reporter spoke, he noticed
that the colored boy waa cycling him
very carefully, and when he finished
the boy opened his note book and
wrote IN scrawling hand, "Yes." j"
"Can you tell by the movements OF
my lips what am saying
He nodded affirmatively.
Who will testify that you are
deaf and dumb2"
He turned to gentleman from
Bryce Station, Tho explained to the
reporter that the colored boy was
named Henry Bell; his age %; he
Was boll at Cave Springs, Ga., and
could never hear or speak. For sever.
al years be has been employed by
Capt. Taylor, at Boyce Station and
he knows positively that he is a genu'
inc mute.
Now for the strange part of the
story:
The reporter placed his finger tips
very lightly on the boys shoulder
He wore heavy coat, and the touch
was SO light, that the heavy folds
were not depressed. The boy turned
his head SO he could not see the re
porter, and the later said, almost in
a whisper: "Do you know what
am saying now 2
Henry wrote in his book, eyes"
How old are you and Where was
you born?" the reporter again whls
pered, Henry's head still being turned
He wrote, My name is Henry
Bell. l was born at Cave Springs
Georgia, and am twenty three year
old. l know anything you say. BY
the feeling in my shoulder" A loni
conversation WAS thus carried on
and the boy understood every word
DR.. Holtzclow, who witnessed tn
test also conversed with the boy il
the same manner, and explains hi
strange sense as follows: "As al
mutes remaining senses, especial!
that of touch, are very acute, wnel
you speak, the vibration Of your 70
