For THE RECORD
TREES AND TREE TRIMMING.

The "Ordinance" requiring trees to be
trimmed fifteen feet clear of the street or
pavement, and the vigilant oversight of
our Mayor to see by personal observation
that the Ordinance was carried into
effect, marks a visible improvement in
the appearance of our streets, and will
permit the city lamps to benefit greater
number of people, will accelerate finer
circulation of air and promote the health
and comfort of the citizen.
1t requires knowledge, judgment and
skill, to trim trees properly, and when
done by persons who only know how to
''cut and slash' off limbs and branches of
tree, they irreparably mar and destroy
its beauty and future usefulness.
to do this work the old men who may
have the knowledge and judgment, are
not safe persons to climb up the trees, nor
is it right that they should be trusted on
ladders, or step-ladders, and only the
young active men should do the work I'M
der the direction of those who know.
Whilst the top of the trees give such
beauty to the streets and comfort by their
shade, to the citizens, the roots of the
trees are lifting the pavements out of the
line of grade, making very unpleasant
and dangerous walking, and a source of
complaint, and become a serious bill of
expense to the lot owner, who takes pains
to cultivate a beautiful shade tree for the
benefit of the citizens and but small
portion to himself.
For these and other reasons, the city
should keep the pavements in repair,
should trim the trees, and keep Cutters
in good order and repair, and prevent the
occupation of the side walks by buildings,
porches, stepping stones, hitching posts,
gates and doors swinging outward on
the pavement.
Chickens should be as carefully ex-
cluded from the streets and pavements as
are hogs and cattle, and police officers
should be fully empowered to capture
them and DO literally rewarded for the
same.
Very little attention Is given by our
authorities to the wants and comforts of
the tenant population, in compelling
landlords to furnish them with water,
yard room and preventing over-crowdiDg,
and the compliance of sanitary rules to
keep the city healthy and free of disease.
Our worthy Mayor should turn his at
tention to those minor subjects, that GO
to make up the comfort and discomfort
of city life and by his indefatigable per-
severance and zeal, compel class of citi-
zens to do their duty to their fellows, who
would shirk every or any RESPONSE
bility to do SO, were they not reminded
officially as in the Trimming of the
trees"

At a meeting of the State Capitol Re-

Tuesday, six plans were presented. That
of L. II. Broome, of Jersey City, received
the prize of 5000 and was accepted. The
dimensions of the building are go by 166
feet, or go feet longer than the old build
ing. Work will begin sometime this
year, and as the amount to be expended
will considerably exceed the appropria-
ton, the Legislature next Winter will be
asked to make up the deficiency.

WHY ADVERTISING PAYS.

ITO advertise successfully one must adj
vertise right straight along" said prom
inent New York dry goods merchant.
1--WE once hit upon novel expedient,
however, of ascertaining over what area
our advertisements were read We pub
lished couple of half-column ads in
which we purposely misstated half doz-
en- historical facts.
"Did you get any replies ?'
Il should say we did; in less than q
week we received between 800 and 400
letters from all parts of the country from
people wishing to know why on earth we
kept such consummate fool who knew
so little about American history. The
letters kept pouring in for three or four
weeks. 1t was one of the best paying ads
we ever printed. Our letters came from
schoolboys, girls, professors, clergymen,
school teachers, and in two instances,
from eminent men who have world
wide reputation. l was more impressed
with the value of advertising from those
two advertisements than | should have
been by volumes of theories"
The article published above reminds us
of a merchant in Lambertville, who told
us that advertising didn't pay-nobody
read advertisements" To prove that he
was mistaken, we offered to insert test
advertisement for him, offering So for a
pup dog, the advertisement to be placed
in the finest advertising type without
head lines, on the last column of the
fourth page near the bottom of the column,
and for one week only. No one was to
be told of it, and even the employees Of
our office were not to know that it had
been inserted. The man who boldly
asserted that advertisements were moi
read, showed the white feather and de-
clined tbs test.
Advertising is read--people may b,
sure of that 1t does not compel people
to buy that which they do not want
Neither does a sign. But what merchant
would think of doing without sign?

Lightning does its work before the vic
tim knows anything. Two men were
struck while taking refuge under a tree.
Both were carried into the house and laid
out for dead. One of the men revived,
and, after weeks of terrific suffering and
infirmity, he got out again and is still liv-
ing. He said he knew no more about hav-
ing been struck by lightning than he was
conscious of having lived before the flood.
1t was all news to him when he was told
of the fact.

above others for the great struggle
through which the nation had to pass to
place itself among the greatest in the

brighter as time passes and his great work
