MILLION DOLLARS

worth of Household goods on this
and similar plan throughout New
England in the past four years,
and the proof of the entire fair
ness and satisfaction which this
system has given our customers
lies in the fact that we have never
had a lawsuit, alteration or I'M
pleasantness with any of them. On
the other hand we could refer by
permission to hundreds of persons
whose houses are handsomely fur
niShed and paid for i'm this way,
and who would tell you that had
they been compelled to pay cash
down would never have attained to
such home comforts. Hundreds of
parl0rs have been furnished, and
hundreds of young people have
spent their evenings at home who
otherwise would shun the cheer
less home for some place of amuse-
ment, and gradually drift away
from those good home influences.
This system teaches economy.
because for every dollar expended
there is something to show.
1t gives to the man who is doing
business ON a small capital the use
of his money, and at the same time
to his wife all the comforts of a
home.
1t has given to hundreds of
young married people the chance
to furnish a home and pay for it
out of the profits that otherwise
would have gone to the lodging
and clearinghouse keeper.
Read our contract carefully, and
any questions yOu may desire to
ask by letter will be cheerfully an
swered.
We have made the following a
full and complete contract, MAX
ing Isaac C. Atkinson the buyer.

AT the Bijou the company of horses will
entertain large audiences next week by the
display of their abilities as actors. The
feats performed by some of the horses are
quite above the name of tricks; there is too
much intelligence shown, too much reason
ing yes, reasoning required on their part
because repeatedly told and taught to do so.
The variety of their acts, and the changes
which occur from night to night prove, be-
yond question, that the horses often act
quite independently of Prof. Bishop. The
entertainment provided by them is well
worthy of the hearty applause received, and
deserving of a large PATRONAGE

Importance of Trihes.

A Bucks County (Pa.) paper SAYS a
village COW was giving sixteen quarts
of milk day, but the supply of water
from the we'll was cut eff for about a
week. Rain water from cistern was
offered her. OF this she drank little
and seldom, appearing not to like it.
She was fed upon dry hay with about
eight quarts of dry oats and corn meal.
In twenty hours her yield fell to
fourteen quarts; in forty eight hours
it had fallen to thirteen, and in another
day it had shrunk to twelve quarts a
day. Then pure we'll water was given
to the COW, and her ration of grain was
wetted with hot water and allowed to
stand twelve hours. When the time
of feeding came, more hot water was
added, warming the mess to about S0o.
In two days this treatment brought
the yield of milk up to fifteen quarts
per day This is another illustration
of the importance of attention to small
and apparently trifiing circumstances
in the management of cows. Thus, in
a herd of ten CONS, an additional yield
per day for each cow of six or seven
pounds of milk will pay for the care
and attention required to produce it.

An Awful Little Bug.

A new bug has been found which
may have mission of reform. This
bug is an industrious and busy crea-
ture, half as big as fly. He has a
sharp-pointed head, u hard shell back
and small wings. His farorite food is
tobacco, and it is not strange that his
color is dark brown. He has large
families, and it is the special delight of
his wife to lay myriads of eggs in loose
tobacco such as is chopped up for
chewing, or to make cigarettes of. Ger
tain tobacco dealers have recently been.
appalled, to find that the baby bugs, on
being Matched out, have at once begun
to eat cigarettes and chewing tobacco,
just as moths eat fur and wooden goods.
This insect is supposed to be the only
one that can live on tobacco. 1t is be-
lieved that creature that can live on
tobacco cannot be poisoned. There is,
therefore, DO way of getting rid of the
pests, except by catching them one by
one and MASKING them. To do this is
so tedious and troublesome that it
would come to more than the cigarettes
and ''fine cut" are worth. In some
cases the bugs are found in such guam
titles in cigarettes that the only way
boy who is bent on smoking the cigar
cite can do is to smoke bugs and all.
Now, the smoking of cigarettes is bad
enough, considering all the stuff that
is put into them. But the drugs and
authorizations and gutter mud and other
undesirable articles are so disguised in
the manufacture that the boys who
smoke do not realize their presence.
AS to Disgusting the bugs, it is not so
easy. Bugs are said to impart dis
agreeable flavor to the smoke. The
only way to conceal them is to take the
whole fabric of cigarettes and chewing
tobacco and chop it up again and again
and make the bugs into sort of hash
in which they will not be recognized.
There are few people who are so fond
of tobacco that they will take in the
aroma of dead bugs, in order to enjoy
their smoke. Possibly the bug bust
ness may settle the smoke nuisance.
The platforms of our street cars may
be cleaner for it we may breathe purer
air in crowded places, aud our growing
boys may be spared the nervous ills
which the cigarette brings. Ought
not the tobacco bng to be protected by
law p American Reformer.

Childran's Food.

Some people think it perfectly right
that children should be made to eat
everything that is set before them, but
in carrying out this singular theory
too often the gravest injury results.
An eminent city clergyman told me
the other day that the mere sight of
liver cooked in any form made him i'll.
When quite little fellow his stern
would permit no "nonsense," as he ex-
pressed it, with regard to children's
likes or dislikes as far as food was con-
cerned, insisting that they should not
exercise any taste or choice in the mat
ter, required him to eat some liver
which had been put on his plate. There
piece of liver that set the child against
it, but he was forced to swallow the
repulsive morsel, and ever since his
stomach has rebelled even at the
thought of the gross piece of tyranny
which was practised upon him. 1t is
sound rule for all of us that with re-
spect to food our likes and dislikes are
the best guide az to what is good for
us, and it is safe to eat upon the plan
that whatever we relish will prove on
the average harmless and wholesome.
and whatever produces disgust will
prove, as general thing, indigestible.
A recent writer on this point has fully
expressed my opinion in saying that
"nothing can be more wrong than to
make children eat fat, for example,
when they don't want it. A healthy
child likes fat and eats as much of it as
he can. If he shows signs of disgust
at fat that proves him to be of bilious
temperament, and he ought never to
be forced to eat it against his will. A
good many of us have disOrdered di-
gestion in after-life simply because we
were compelled to eat rich food in
childhood which we felt instinctively
was unsuitable to u.s.

them. is a mystery.

them, is a mystery.
Dogs do not chew nor smoke, But
a dog nearly always keeps a store of
favorite old. dry bones by him, one of
which he loves to bring to the flreside,
to pass away half an hour before going
to bed gnawing at it; while light
hearted dogs will often end spell of
chewing at their bone with game of
pitch-and-t with it. l have even
known a dog to play pitch and-toss
with a single pellet of shot.
One sees more of the dog and cat
and their pastimes than of other ami
mails but it is likely that in a state OF
nature most beasts spend quite as much
of their life in killing time as do these.
