Interview with MT. Wilson Soule, a Large
 Representative Advertiser, as to Its Ben
 efits.
 [From the New Haven (Conn.) Sunday Union Oct. Is, 1885.
 Mr. Wilson Soule, Secretary and Treas urer of the Hop Bitters Manufacturing Company, has been spending the last two days here arranging his advertising mat ters, and was interviewed by UNION re porter as to the results and the worth oi newspaper advertising. He said that fo1 the four years previous to 1878 they spent all their money in bill posting and circu. lars, from which they received no profit; in fact, they got back just about half what it cost them for making the medicine and printing and distributing the circulars.
 In the spring of 1878 they placed an ad- vertising order of S40000 with H. P. Hub bard, of New Haven. The results were sales of Sl07,000. They increased the ad- vertising the following year to $100,0O0 the sales being S360, GOO. The next year they spent Si20,000, with SiS0.000 sales, and the next year the expenditure was slightly in creased, as also the sales.

"What lovely complexion we often hear persons say. q wonder what she does for itl" In every case the purity and real loveliness of the complexion depends upon the blood.

Comments Upon the Legal Practice.

In the District Court Wednesday Mr..
Franklin, brilliant and eloquent young
attorney, assisted the State Attorney in
prosecuting young man charged with
DEMONSTRATING. 1t was a melancholy
spectacle to see a stout. Vigorous, young
man, Just entering upon life, brought
into court manacled upon such a charge.
MIR. M. G. Anderson, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, made strong and earnest
speech for the prisoner. Mr.. Anderson
has the talent for a lawyer Of identifying
himself with his client. He threw him
self with force and bold appeal only for
justice to his wronged client as he re-
viewed the matter. He plead two
grounds of defense-want of identifca-
ton of the man charged and an alibi;
laying chief stress upon the former.
The District Attorney in the closing
argument was sarcastic and witty in
answer to Mr.. Anderson, alleging that
some OF his points in defending criminals
were hackneyed and meant to take with
jurors who didn't know his ways. Both
sifted and handled the evidence with
skill and ingenuity. The propriety OF
personal brow-beating and whitening de-

the prisoner, whose mouth Is closed,

sary attack and severity on one denied
the right of personal reply, or,so thinks
under his restraints. In cases of great
enormity it might be permissible, or
when the prosecution has bad case and
wishes to drive the defendant to a con-
fession, as happened in the case Of the
old New England witches, who In some
instances under forceness Of accusation
confessed their guilt, though afterwards
on mature consideration all parties came
to the conclusion that the whole thing
was farce and most egregious delusion.

weston News observes that New York

property, one-eleventh of the electoral
vote; it produces one.tifth Of the total
value of manufactured products, receives
the greater part Of the imports OF the

No Cross-Eyed Men Wanted.

Can a cross-eyed man receive an ap-
pointment in the fire department? This
question Is said to be agitating the circles
of fire-laddiedom. A stalwart and ro-
bustious citizen whose physique is way
up in the Rinetics wants job, but his
eyes are against him. Standing on Main
street opposite the churches, for in
stance, and facing west, while his left
optic embraces the American block, his
right takes in Buffalo creek and the
Sturges elevator. When he casts his
regards upon you his glances meet over
the top of his nose, and there their ways
part most embarrassingly. There is not
a cross-eyed man on the force, and never
has been, so that it has felt that to ad-
NIT the strabismic applicant would
amount to the establishment OF an un-
canny precedent. The question is like
ly to be solved adversely to the gentle
man. Buffalo Courier.

Creanleries.

The Valley Virginian announces that
the Augusta creamery, near Staunton,
has begun operation, and states that its
product is "golden, nutty, delicious but
ter" 1t adds that "although the cream
cry has been in operation but little more
than a week, its product has daily in
creased, the farmers finding ont that it
pays far better to sell their milk ut eighty
cents per hundred pounds than to make
il into butter at home, or to raise wheat
at eighty cents bushel, and other cere-
al. in proportion" Another creamery
will soon be started at Waynesboro in the
same county, and we look to see the
good example of Augusta, or rather
Loudoun, followed at various places in
the State. Fauquler should have one or
more creameries, so should Orange and
Rappahannock. Almost every county
in the Valley and Southwest Virginia
is suited to this industry, ard the James
River Valley from Richmond to Gov
ington is adapted to it. Indeed, since it
has been ascerlained what ensilage is
capable of, it would be hard to find any
area of ten miles square in the State
where creamery might not be sustain

why Wen smoke.


A number Of literary men smoke sim
ply 10 make an income. They have
learned that with pipe in their mouths
thoughts not only come more readily bu.
In better order, and that, while it is Of
ten difficult to get the proper word IL
they are not smoking. it runs to the point
of the pen the moment they eight up"
PsycEologieal.y this Is the most interest
ing, and the reason womankind csnnot
grasp 1t probably is that psychology Is
not, unfortunately, taught in ladies SEM
inaries. Smoking is a great safeguard
against infectious diseases. 1t is only
by reading up the subject scientifically
I'm medical treatises that one thoroughly
gets to understand the thousand risks OF
this kind that we run every day. In the
country during the summer months
when men are on their holidays they
look forward to having temporary re-
spite from smoking. Then it does not
40 much matter how the tempera-
ment is; living so much in the open air
the smoking of other persons has little
effect on them and there is less danger
of infection. 1t is to keep off the flies
that mel smoke at the seaside and hills.
Their own weather. beaten countenonces
can stand the flies, but these little de-
mons would not only spoil the summer
fer susceptible wives and sisters and
children, but would disfigure them as
well. That is what man cannot en-
dure. You may have seen picnics on
the river or among the fields, with all
the men smoking, the ladies standing
quite near :hem. With many men smok-
ing is merely an excuse for staying at
home. A man looks foolish of an even
ing, yet he is too tired to do much. A
cigar supplies the amount Of labor he
requires, and he does not mind the
trouble of smoking it so long as it ena-
bles him 10 stay at home without loss OF
dignity and look admiringly and yet
undemonstratively at his wife. Should
a man with a small income be an cpl
cure, or naturally of an irascible tenn
per, it will add greatly to the happiness
of his home if he compels himself 10
smoke. And at presnt, when times are
so hard as to effect every one more or
less, a cigar is cheap and excellent
substitute for expensive amusement.

Having s.Fun With the Boys.

man of the future does not spend his

young fellows, upon whom advice is
wasted, who think it a smart and manly
thing to sow wild oats, and who are hard
at it, believing that nobody knows how
they spend their evenings and expect
ing to take turn for the better after q
while. They are deceived. Their pres
ent habits are known to more than they
imagine, and nine out of ten Of them
are likely to 60 from bad to worse until,
health ruined, they rush into the ranks
of the criminal or pauper classes or fill
