 The object of this agency is to place before the reading community the lowest rates by which periodicals may be obs tained. By continually sending clubs of subscribers to these newspapers and magazines, we are able to obtain large commissions, the largest part of which we give to the subscribers, to induce them to pntronize us, retaining only such an amount as will give us n profit of few cents on each periodical ordered. Single subscriptions can therefore be taken at club rates and forwarded the same day to publishers. No more wait ing to form clubs.
 We have recently purchased and add ed to our business the subscription list which Mir. Bartholomew had charge of at Canaan, Ct., and hope, by fair dealing and lowest living rates, to retain all his customers.
 In ordering several periodicals of us at a time you have only one letter to write, one money order Co pay for, and you get them all at club rates, making quite n saving of time, labor and money.

A PALK With THE FARMERS

II is hardly necessary for TO say to intelligent
farmers that ST the rate we breeding mares in
this State, we shall soon have to seek a market
elsewhere forour surplus stock; If we were COM
peileCf- 10 do il to-day there is not market in
the Caked States where the stock Of this country
would bring eighty dollars head on an average il
this is the case and believe it is il is certainly
time that we commenced TO lay the foundation for
larger and better class of horses In order 10 do
this we have got TO breed to large, fine, well bred
stations; we cannot obtain good results by taking
the advice of some horse peddler and breeding to
three hundred dollar scrub; such stations cannot
produce fine stock, and TO expect il is TO do violence
no every principal of animal propagation. We are
not horse peddlers hawking worthless stock about
the country, we are breeders. One of my partners
has fifteen mares and the other has about the same
number in the family, and have forty-One myself:
we furnish farmers the same goods we use our
selves. There will be no discounts made from our
advertised prices. We cannot afford TO enter into
any competition with scrub stock; our four horses
cost us more than seven thousand dollars and
they are among the finest draft stock in the world
among their several classes. We propose TO 90 TO
the top in our business and believe there is ample
room there. In q word we propose to furnish the
farmers of Central Kansas with the finest draft
stations in the world at lower prices than can be
obtained elsewhere. We shall make public sale
OF horses every year, and farmers that have few
horses to sell can bring them and we will cash our
them, provided they guarantee them to u.s. Its
our object to build up business We can all make
money at. Farmers must expect to let us make
money; we are not doing this thing for fun: we
will all make money. Farmers that patronize our
stations will raise fine stock and get good prices

recommended as an important aid in
the study of local geography. The
effort that the pupil expends in strIV-
ing to reproduce the map, helps to
fix it firmly in his memory, because
in order to transfer it to paper, he is
obliged to examine closely. This is
most important. The map should
be photographed, as it were, in the
mind. If you succeed in doing this,
your pupils will be Independent of
szep or book Create in your pupils
Adesire to have their maps drawn
as neatly and correctly as possibls
By correctness l do not mean thas
every indentation and little curve
should be reproduced, but a good,
firm outline, so that any one looking
at it will know what it is intended to
represent.
1t is an utter waste OF time, and
worse than useless to keep pupils
trying to repeat boundaries and To-
cations from memory. Let them re-
member them just as they remember
picture, and they will remember
the boundaries, because, when the
country is mentioned, they will i'm
mediately try to think how 1t looks
and where it is, and the map Is i'm
mediately before them in the mind,
and they see the country and its sur
roundings.
Do not expect too correct an out
line the first effort. Be satisfied
when the general outline is good.
If pupil has tried and failed, do
not censure, but encourage and aid
him, and keep him at it, until he
brings to you pretty fair represen-
tation. In learning the elementary
part of mathematical geography,
drawing will be found useful. Child
rem may repeat the definitions for
parallels, meridians, zones, and cir
Giles forever, but they will not remem-
Der any longer than while repeating.
But if you have them draw circles,
meridians, zones, parallels, diane
tiers, ETC., and make them for them
selves, they will know and will feel
conscious of knowing the difference
between a parallel and meridian,
a diameter and circumference.

NO APPLE-SASS FOR SAMUEL
Farmer Tilden Loses Two Choice Bar.
rels While Sleeping Heavily.

Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden, the sage
speculator of Gramercy Park, says
the New York Journal, was spry-
ly walking about his farm at Yon-
kers yesterday morning with a
doubled-barrelled shotgun. The
night before some people crawled
through the window of his smoke
house, and stole two barrels of ap-
pies for sauce which Farmer Til
den had locked up there for safe
ty. Mr.. Tilden was sound asleep
at the time, having done a hard
days ploughing, and did not hear
the marauders as they were MAX
ing away with his apples. : Tt is
supposed that Farmer Tilden's
dog was chloroformed, as one Of
Mr.. Tilden's speeches, in which it
is believed a bottle of chloroform
was wrapped up, was found lying
under the nose of the animal.
There is no clew to the thieves.
The foot tracks, however, CORES
pond to those of a Democratic
heeler who used to come to the
Yonkers farm last summer to
urge Mr.. Tilden to run for the
Presidency.
Some say that the outrage
serves Mr.. Tilden right for having
apples when his neighbors had
none.
Mr.. Tilden intends to sit up
nights with his remaining nine
barrels Of apples and guard them
with his sh otgun.

they could run him south and sell
him. The presumption is that
when the cave was deserted he
was alive; the doom was sure but
what agony he underwent chain
ed and alone-his face like Mil
toms devil, "grinned horribly a
CHASTITY SMILE" Thes blood hounds
had been kept for the purpose of
re-capturing any slave that might
escape. AS we were about MAX
ing our exit our companion, Lee,
called our attention, in an excited
manner, to another object. We
turned around and he was pale
and the lantern trembling in his
hand; he pointed under the table,
and there lay the dried frame of
another human being. Examin-
ing close it proved to be that of a
once beautiful female. She too
was chained. She had died hor-
rible death-starved to death.
Her long yellow hair still clung
to the dry skin on her head, which
hung in golden tresses over her
bosom that once heaved with the
breath of life, though now cold;
her once ruby lips were parted SO
as to disclose a set of pearly teeth.
How came she in o robbers den?
She could not have been victim
to cupid's dart, if SO why chain
her? She undoubtedly was kid
mapped and held for ransom. But
cur heart grows sick as we write;
several letters were found of a
suspicious character, but as they
contain the names of people in
middle Tennessee, we decline to
give their contents.
The discovery Of the den has
Caused great excitement in the
neighborhood. Numbers have Wis
tied the place, and a few have ven
tured in. Mr.. w. @. Blair, on
whose land the cave is, refused to
have anything disturbed until the
people could see it. He permitted
A. M. Lee to remove the dragoon
pistols, which have John A. Muir
rell's initials stamped on the bar
rels. Any person wishing to see
them can call on him at the post
Office in Huntingdon, where he
will take pleasure in showing
them.

sat in a chair on the extreme left
of the stage, and who in this chair
act, at one time when the chair
was being forced to the floor, got
almost under it? Don't you know
that the stage manager called for
more men to force the chair down?
Do you suppose that the young
fellow who took that running
jump and landed on the backs of
the gentlemen who we're at the
chair would have dared to do such
a thing had he not been in the
troupe? Again, as Miss Hurst's
feats are tricks, there were many
ways it could have been done.
Take any two gentlemen who are
known to each other, no more, and
see if Miss Lulu can prevent them
from forcing the chair down. In
conclusion, pay no attention to
that little ghost story the old
man tells about the Georgia expe-
rience at home. Why don't she
do SO nowf If you buy that
crowd for q simple party of plain,
unassuming country people, you
put your money in "stone blind
pool" We have not written this
in a scientific or metaphysical
strain, because science, electricity,
metaphysics or an unknown force
has nothing to do with it; it is
trickery, fraud, practice, and
newspaper gush from beginning

Relief from Ma.arial Poison.

For six months past l have been
affected with a very serious case
of typhoid malaria, which / con-
tracted on my orange grove in
Northwestern Florida. I tried
several remedies, but everything
failed me. Two weeks ago 1 pur-
chased a bottle of Swift's Specific,
which has proved a sure cure for
this dreadful malady. I had al
most given up hope of ever being
well again, for I had tried SO many
remedies, all of which had failed
to do any good. Would to God
that all the afflicted people resid-
ing in the malarious counties of
Georgia, Florida and Alabama
would read this and try the s. s.
S. instead of dosing themselves
with qulnlne and mineral reme-
dies. 1 feel it my duty to suffer
ing humanity to write this certifi-
cate, for it may be the means of
many of my old friends trying
this great remedy as I have done.
So strong is my faith in it that
in every case where the directions
are followed I guarantee a sure
cure or forfeit one hundred dol
lars.
