What More ?

Newark is certainly Aourshing place.
There are two manufactures here a
hoggery, where all the celebrated porkers
will be raised there are several exceed
ingly fine henneries,-or perhaps it
would be better to say incubators. Chick
ems are Matched out by the hundreds,
each month. What more would quiet,
peace-loving citizens need? There is
the Dean Wooden mill, which only needs
little capital and enterprise to make
the hum of machinery sound PLEASANT
music to hundreds of operatives. Nor is
this all, there is the proposed scheme
of the council TO advertise the land
in and adjacent to town; then there
is the sleeping schemes of cleo
trio lights, and water works. All these
things will come about in good time. 1t
comes little hard to get accustomed to
such quietness, but like the ticking of a
clock, we become accustomed to it.
Probably after many of MS have been
gathered to our fathers, Newark will
blossom like a rose.

What the Drummert Cost.

"Do you know that there are about So
900 commercial travellers in the United
States2 Surprised to hear it? Yes
most people are when told it but it's a
fact nevertheless. You may also be sur
prised to learn that each one of them
spends on an average 1000 year, or a
total of s24O,OOOOOO.
IF you add to this their salaries, aver
aging at the least 81 900, you have total
expenditure by commercial travellers of
$32O,0O0,000 year. This is naturally
spent in all parts of the country but the
hotels and railroads get the lions share
lit.
During the last ten years there has
been a great change in the character OF
the commercial traveller. The old Bo-
hemian type has almost entirely dissap-
peared from the road, and drinking men
are much more rarely met with there
than formerly. The fact of the matter is
competition is now so keen, and expen.
sc have become SO heavy, that it does
not pay house to send out as travellers
any but the steadfast and most reliable
business men.
