Mrs. Logan and the Crdnks.

One day tall elegantly dressed gentle
man called az General Logan's house, on
Iowa circle. Mrs. Logan greeted him po-
ltely, and tod him the General would be
home 5000. After few minutes pre.im-
nary conversation, the stranger suddenly
exclaimed: "Mrs. Logan. DO you know
who l am?9 Mrs. Logan replied that she
d d not, but supposed that he was an Old
friend of the 6 neral mo, madam, | am

Mrs Logan did bot lose her sell possess

antly with her visitor, until policeman
appeared and marched him of to the sta
ton house. During the Generals recent
absence in Springfield letter arrived bear
ing New York postmark. Mrs. Logan
opened it. The writer began by asking the
General If he remembered certain pur-
chase of lands the two had made joiu.ly in
Texas during the war. He then proceeded
to state that the lands had become i'm

A Point In Advertising.

"To advertise successfully one must al
vertse right straight along" said prom
inent New York dry goods merchant.
We once hit upon novel expedient, how
ever, of ascertaning over what area our
advertisements we read. We publish a
couple of halfcolumn ads in ich we
purposely mistated half dozen historic Il
facts
Did you get any reples?'
II should say we did. 10 less than a
week we received between 800 aud 400 let
tiers from all parts of the country, from
people wishing to know y ny on earth We
kept such a cunsummate fool who knew 50
little about American history. Tue letters
kept pouring in for three or four weeks.
1t was one of the best paying ads We ever
printed. Our letters came from school
boys, girls. professors, clergymen, school
teachers, and in two Instances, from emf
nent men who have a world wide reputA-
ton. | was more impressed With the
value of advertising from those two adver
tisemeuts than should have been by vol

GRANT.

O IL a ~ Il.
o what sore campaign,
or which men long sh1l tell,
Ended when he was slain,
When this our greatest fell.
For him no mold had cast
A bullet surely sped
No falchion. welded fast,
His iron blood had shed.
Death on the hundredth field
Had failed to bring him low:
He was not born TO yield
To might of mortal foe.
Even to himself unknown
lie bore the fated sword,
Forged somewhere near his throne
OF battles, still the Lord.
That weapon, when he drew,
Back rolled the wrath OF men
Their onset feebler grew.
The nation rose again.
The splendor and the fame
Whisper OF these alone;
Nor say that round his name
moments shade was thrown.
Count not each satellite
'Twixt HIM and glory's sun,
The circling things Of night
Number his battles won.
Where then to choose his gravel
From mount in unto sea,
The Land he found TO save
His sepulchre shall be.
Yet to its fruitful earth
His quickening ashes lend,
That chieftains may have birth,
And pat,iots without end.
His carven scroll shall read:
Here rests the valiant heart
Whose duty was his creed
Whose choice, the warriors part
Who, when the fight was done,
The grim last toe defed,
Naught knew save victory won
Surrendered not but died.

HolU Sedishi,ls 4re Prepared.

Few of them wearing a sealskin sscque
heve any knowledge of the process by
which the skins are prepared for use. Seen
when first taken from the animal, they little
resemble the warm. glossy skins worn up.
on our streets; for until dryed and cured
they are of a light brown hue, coarse and
full of sand. Before becoming valuable
they are shaved down on the flesh side I'M
til not thicker than paper, the long hairs
pulled out ano the fur dyed. The cost of
the article is due to the labor expended on
it. The raw skins are sold in London,
where the finishing is done, and then ship
ped back to America, where they are sold
with very heavy duty added. The killing
season in Alaska usually begins about the
18th of Juue, and the 100, 900 skins are usu
ally ready for shipment mouth later. The
work of Strengthening the animals is done
by natives who live upon the ST. Paul and
St. George Islands, and the process IAN
interesting one. When skins are W I'D
the natives 90 to the rookeries, station
themselves along the shore between the
sea $ and the water, and, at a given signal
spring to their feet and make as much noise
AS possible The frightened victims, timid
As deer, then stampede up the beach and
are driven like sheep few miles inland,
until their captorS attack them with hickn
nv clubs. Being Knocked senselesS, they
are stabbed with long, sharp knives and
the skins are quickly stripped from the
bodies. The work is divided among the
men-somc knocking the seals down.

The people, as a whole, seldom make
mistakes, and the unanimous voice OF
praise which comes from those who have

based entirely on what the people say
