So many schemes are put before the public for
the increase Of newspaper circulation, which
seem TO be plausible and yet are fraudulent, that
when a legitimate, honest effort Is made TO build
up the circulation of legitimate, honest paper,
by legitimate, honest means, people who have
been so many times duped, are very slow 20 res
pond TO the genuine scheme. We are led 10 this
train OF thought by perusal OF the advertise

their prospects in life by paying too
little heed to this excellent quali6ca>
ton. 1t costs nothing TO be polite,
and those who are not so naturally
should by all means cultivate this
pleasing trait of character They will
find it one ofIthe best stocks IN trade
that they can have in store. In bust
ness It will be found an indispensable
requisite TO success. Pohtenes and
honesty should go hand in hand in
order TO win the respect and admira,
ton of mankind. 1t should be exer-
ciSed on all occasions, and without
regard TO persons. The poor are en-
titled TO the same respect as the rich,
Though they do not always receive 1t.
This is because of the mean principle
with which some men are actuated.
Their selfish natures actuate them to
play the hypocrite for the sake Of
gain. They assume politeness to
subserve an end, but the genuine
article is foreign to their natures
They labor under the impression that
there is nothing to live for in this
world but to make money, and that
end iustdes the means Some of
their souls are so small that you could
hear them rattle in the hull of a
tobacco seed. When they have a
purpose in view they are all smiles
and lows, while as the same time the
demon is lurking ia their hearts. Be-
ware of all such; they would rob Paul
to pay Peter.
A little more attention to politeness
might be paid by many holding pc
sitions of trust without lowering their
dignity or making them less respected
by those who have occasion to come
IN contact with them, Although he
may think so, there is no man so
great or Important that he is the axis
ON which the whole world revolves.
Common civility is much more char
acteristlc of a gentleman than rude
ness, though he be person Of great
riches.

Why They Fail.
Lancaster pa New Era.

The other evening number of
students were refreshing themselves
in restaurant after several hours
exhausting mental labor in calculat-
ing the chances OF one able bodied
man batting ball and another agile
fellow catching it and putting out an
other one less agile. They had spent
the afternoon at game of base ball
ard of course were greatly in need of
refreshments after their exhausting
occupation. During the evening the
conversation turned on their college
life and the application to ther studies
demanded by the faculty of those who
would graduate with honor The
poor fellows who spent the afternoon
in their rooms pursuing their studies
preparatory to next days recitations
and lectures were commisserated by
these more easy-going students, while
the general sentiment of the party
was voiced by one of their number,
who said 81 did not come to college
to study came to be taught" The
measure this young man takes of col
lege life and opportunities which it
off.rs TO those who rightly improve
them is the KEY which unlocks the
secret of many young mans failure
in life.

The Baseball Manufacture.
Scientiflc American.

1t is estimated that 10, 600, 900 base
balls are made aud sold in this ceun-
try every year. First there is little
hard rubber bail, and around that the
wrapper winds a strong, blue, coarse
yarn. This is firmly wrapped with
white Venetian yarn. The balls are
then placed ia an oven until all the
moisture is taken out. After this
they are coated with cement Then
comes fine blue yarn, and around the
whole is placed fine white gilling
twiRe. Each must be OF certain
weight. The covers are made of the
best quality OF horse hide of two
pieces, each cut in the shape of the

For wears balls were covered with
four pieces of leather, and at one time
two covers were placed upon ball.
Hard knocks can not disturb the ball

it.

AN OLD PROPHECY.

Somebody has unearfhed an old
prophecy for the year 1886 of decid-
edlv uncomfortable nature. Ii appears
that in the Church Oberem-mel, near
the city of Treveri, in Germany, there
is a stone tablet some centuries old, on
which is cut the pathetic verse. In
prose it may be rendered: "When
Mark shall bring us Easter, and An
thony shall sing praises at Pcntacost,
and John shall swing the censor at the
feast of Corpus Dom,ni. then shall the
whole earth resound with weepings
and wailings" Now it so happens
that next year Easter falls on ST.
Marks day, Pentacost on that of
ST. Anthony of Padna and the Cor
pus Domini comes on St. John S
the Baptist's Day, June "a. Here then
are the first conditions of the prophecy
fulfilled. so that now believers in
prophecies and anxious-minded per-
sons generally have only to sit down
and think of everything disagreeable
that can possibly happen to this poor
old planet and the jewellers thereon
between January and December, 1886.
And really if the cyclones, and earth.
quakes, and epidemics, and "wars and
rumors of wars" of the years lSS2-3'
