The great London advertiser who gave

The consequence is that the amount of
money wasted in making experiments in

merchants Will scatter their money in
many directions in their eager pursuit of
publicity They know very well that such
publicity is essential to great success, but
few of them have any definite advertising
system.
Hence advertisers will spend great sums
of money in printing circulars. whose
number they know, and which they dis
tribute themselves. They canno. guess
what is the effect of thi, method of adj

The most costly advertising i that

Besides, there are 81 many circulars and
50 many varieties of them that people look
upon them rs mus lnce, ana give them
no heed. We have no doubt that nine

Managing a Farm.

Last week in conversation with a
legislator who has large experience and
great comprehension of practical life.
in speaking of the qualifications of a
certain man for Office, he said the can
didate had demonstrated his qualifca-
tions for any position. He had man
aged successfully thousand acre farm,
which he considered required more
~eyied and practical qualifications than
it did to discharge the duties of Gov
ernor or any other Office in the State.
A man may have a thousand acre
farm, and have money enough from
other sources to put the farm in good
order, and stock it with an abundance
of every class of the best stock, and
things may look grand. But does it
pay expenses. the interest on the money
invested in it, and a good profit to the
owner? If not, it is not successfully man.
aged. The farm must not only look
pleasant to the eye, but it must pan out
the profits. To do this q man must
have practical knowledge of his business
and great administrative talent. So our
friend was safe in saying that man
who can successfully manage a thou
saad-acre farm is qualified for any of.

who let 60. One lad loosened his grip
on the bar, was hurled forward about
fifty feet, and after sliding most of the
distance on the ice went home with the
entire left side of his face almost de-
void of skin and bleeding profuselY.
Another boy tripped, and vas carried
off with sprained wrist and broken
knee-pan. Still another tripped and
fell, and before he could get out of the
way the other bar came around and he
was struck on the head with a skate.
he was taken home suffering from con-
cussion of the brain and with large
gap In his scalp. The swhizzer' was
then stopped for the afternoon.
This circumstance has brought to
mind another kind of .'whizzer, y
which is in active operation both sum-
mer and winter, and which consists of
several long "bars,n which revolve
around the rum-bottle. Persons take
hold near the center, where they find
glass of beer, or wine or cider ready
for them. II is not hard to get hold of
the 'swhizzer, and as long as you keep
near the center it is a very popular
amusement. But when persons get
crowded out from the center the speed
increases, and they go faster and farther
than they ever intended.
1t is easy getting hold of the .'whiz-
zer;'' the difficulty is in letting 90.
Swifter, and swifter, and swifter, it re-
wolves. The walk becomes trot, and
the trot run, and there is no stopping.
The ''whizzer,n never slows up; and
there is no chance to let go. You must
run or be run over; you must hang on
or be knocked down, trampled under
foot, or flung off headlong on a tangent,
have seen some fearful wrecks
caused by the swhizzer. Men with
red noses, bloated faces, bleared eyes,
ragged coats, bad hats and general
wretchedness are still keeping close to
the bars" and holding on to the
'whizzer, !" which is continually increas-
ing its speed. There is set of gay
young chaps near the centre. They
are good-looking and well dressed, and
they take things easy, and move with
great moderation, but by and by others
press in and they get crowded out
| along the "bars." and the farther they
go the worse they fare; and the longer
they hold on to the whizzer," the more
they wish they could let 90 of it. Finally
they reach the end, and loose their grip,
and fly off, and go manned, and
bruised, and bleeding, to destruction.
You would never recognize in the
bruised, bloated, mangled mass that is
flung from the end of the swhizz@' the
gay and sprightly young man who
took hold of the wine-cup at the cen
ter. But it is the same, and any one
who would like to see the working OF
the ''whizzer' can see people taking
hold at the bar of almost any first-class
hotel or heightened saloon, and see
them flung off, mangled and crushed,
when the last penny is spent, and they
are kicked out to die in the gutter, or
dragged away, shiyering and dement,
ed, to the mad-house, the prison or the
gallows.
My friend, do not take hold of the
devils ''whizzer." He has them set
up at almost every corner, and he is
working them with all his might.
Stand off! There is danger there! Keep
clear of the bottle and the "bars."

Pity the Physicians.

Speaking of the necessity for some
legislation tending to correct the over
crowding of the medical profession a
busy physician said; ITO tell you the
truth, the medical profession is poor
very poor. And doctors who talk Of
incomes of twenty to twenty-five thou
sand year simply talk for effect. /
earn from twelve to fifteen thousand,
and think myself well of if [ actually
collect one-third of it. The rest [ may
or may not get some day-probably
not; and l know that my practice is
larger and my clientele moro lucrative
than that of at least one pretender to
$25, coo that | could name. [ keep
carriage, to be sure, and a colored man
with very bright buttons; but it is often
that haven't a dollar in my pocket to
pay for cab if my own equipage should
happen to break down a couple of
miles away from home"
There is now, it seems, in ratio to
population, such an excess of doctors In
the United States that the best equipped
graduates start with scarcely a prospect
Of success. Taking the whole area of
the United States into calculation, the
ratio is one doctor 10 every $50 persons.
In this State it is one to 600; in this city
one to $50. In England the ratio is one
to 1890; in France, one to 1890; in
Germany and Austria about one to
every 1900. In any community, city,
town, or country district the number of
persons constantly sick is found to be
Is to % in 000-depend.ng upon
salubrity of situation and other condi-
tons. It is safe to say that in this city
the number in every $50 who are regu-
larly on the sick list is not more than
ten and so, on the average, New York
has one physician to every ten sick per-
sons. Count out two or three of the
ten as disabled by age or incurable
disease, and at least one as too poor TO
pay, and physician has an average Of
six or seven paying patients. Of course
some have fifty to a hundred patients,
and great many have two, three, half
dozen, or more; but the average ratio
is not altered by this inequality of dis
tribution.-M Y San.

Engraving on Steel.

Engraving On steel is an American
process. the honor of the invention be-
longing to Boston man. The plates
to be engraved are about one-quarter of
an inch IN thickness and tempered soft.
The engraving is done by hand and by
etching as with copper plate. The
great advantage is the fact that if
many forms are desired on one plate
the original plate can be hardened in
the usual method of tempering steel,
and then. by placing it under soft
cylinder and great pressure being adj
ded while the cylinder is rolled back
ward and forward over the engraved
plate, it is transferred to the cylinder,
which is in turn hardened and capable
of transferring by the same method OF
pressure an engraving similar to the
original as many times on one or moro
plates as is desired. In this way the
vignettes on bank checks, drafts and
other commercial papers do not have
to be engraved for every plate, but, be-
ing once engraved and transferred to 8
small cylinder or die, can be ''rolled"
into the plate desired, as is also the
border, dates, lines and so forth.-Ct

"Puhing BLY,

One bright day in June, 1881, a
group of miners who had just finished
their work were standing around
Wylam Pit, near Newcastle, Eng.
Word was passed from one to
another that a baby boy had been borm
in old Bob's cabin. Old Bob, the en-
gine-man at the pit, had q houseful of
children already, but he and his wife
had plenty of love for the newcomer,
whom they called Geordie.
Wee Geordie Stephenson was net
born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
His fathers house was rough hut.
with upholstered walls and floor OF
clay
Geordie began to work when he was
less than seven years old, at twopence
per day. A lady paid him this sum for
lonking after her cows. When little
older, he was taken on at the colliery
as a "picker," receiving sixpence
day, and at fourteen he became his
fathers assistant at shilling a day.
A year or two later he was given the
charge of an engine of his own. 1t be-
came his pet, and never had engine bet
ter care.
At eighteen years of age George
Stephenson could not read. He was
wide awake, and had a great longing
for knowledge, but did not understand
the alphabet. This could not be borne.
He went to a night-school, and paid
three pence aweek to be taught spelling,
reading and writing, and soon Scotch
minister who knew HIM undertook to
teach him figures. He worked very
hard, and made great progress.
In his leisure hours, when he Was not
busy with his engine or studying, he
made and mended shoes. Bit by bit he
saved a little money, and by-and-by he
was able to marry.
| suppose you are wondering what
all this has to do with Putting Billy"
Have patience: | am coming to that
part of my story.
Though James Watt had invented the
working steam-engine, as yet there was
no travelling steam-engine. 1t was
George Stephenson who first laid rails,
found out what the locomotive could do
when attached to cars, and sent the
iron horse spinning along the line.
His first locomotive was called Putting
Billy.
If you we're to peep into some of the
public journals of the England of 1925
you would laugh at the fright the peo-
pie felt at this monster, which fed on
Goals and water, and flew over the road
at the rate of eighteen miles an hour:
Some thought it was like witehcraft.
Others gravely said that one might as
we'll be shot off like rocket at once as
put themselves at the mercy of such
machine as this.
George Stephenson kept quietly on,
plodding at everything he attempted,
until he had found out its secrets.
Whatever he did he did with all his
might. When men opposed him he did
not lose his temper, but only said:
Swat awhile and you will see.''
Suppose, Mr.. Stephenson" said a
grumbling somebody, thinking he was
advancing terrible objection to the
new iron horse-''suppose a COW should
happen to be on your line?"
''Well, " replied Stephenson, very
coolly, lit would be a bad job for the
COO"
So it is all through life. boys. When
brave, wise man has new and bril-
liant thought it will never be put stop
to by any ''coo. "-MGrgaret T.. Sang
