Money to be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the geeat publishing house
of George Stinson & Co., of Portland Maine.
The reason of this unexceptional success is
found in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At present we
understand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines They need
many more agents in all parts of the country,
Those who need profitable work should ar
ply at once. Women will do as we'll as men
Experience is not necessary, for Messrs,
Stinson & Co undertake to show all who are
willing to work, not bard but earnestly, the
path to large success IL should be remem-
bered that an agent can do handsome bust
moss Withhold being away from home over
night. Another advantage-it costs nothing
to give the business trial, and an agent
cad devote all his TINA, or only his spare
moments to it. Stnsou s. Co. guarantee
grand success to all who engage and follow
simple and plain directions that they give.
We have not space to explain all here, but
full particulars will be rent free to those
who address the firm; their full address is
iven above.

therefore it must be better than ever before
And the publishers have.a primer to send to
those who want to know what Wide A,Oake

gallery eau be got together for s2.4O a year
"a thousand pages and every thing fresh and
new stories, history, travels, biography,
sketches, anecdote, adventuIe-and all in
structive as well as entertaining. Two

glad to be yonug. Nine tenths of reading
people prefer it to what is written for them
or it has the rare merit of being easy as wei
asgood.

A Colorado COLONY.

1t is proposed to organize a colony of So
Der and industrious young men and men
with families, TO settle upon some fertile
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing a contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are invited to send their names and
residence to either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessary for the sue
cess of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle Spon are
fertile in the extreme, with climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all, small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for ir-
rigation, thus insuring successful sol! cul-
ture.
A town Ii be laid ont with lots for bus
iuess and residence purposes, these last in-
creasing in size as they reccde from the bus
mess center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy Colony. Wide streets ill he made
special feature of the town and suta ole
reservations will be made for churches,
schools, public buildings aud parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lauds.
Temperance is the basis of coptentment,
hspliucss, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue ond the shield of the weak, A strict
pr. hibitury clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
this work, as the first year of colony life is
OF necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
chard and farm lands must be done aud but
little in the way of crops, save for home sub
sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses OF organization, location of lands
ETC., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. AS soon as sufficient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken to complete the organization

join this enterprise, WIS connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,

The Sun as a Fire ExtlnguIsher.


). The dear little School Ma'am in ST.
Nicholas tells the children that as soon as
tho wintry cold begins to wane and the sun
Light grows warmer, house fires are apt to
get low and dull, and for this reason persons
say ''the sun has put the fire outn Naturally
the children ask her to explain this queer con-
duct on the part Of the sun, and then she
tells them something like this;
During the sunniest part Of the day we are
apt to neglect our fires and to cease supplying
fresh fuel. Meantime the suns rays warm
the air and rarity it until 1t is as warm and
thin as the air in the chimney that has been
heated by the fire. Then the draught ceases
and the fire gets lower and lower
But the little School Ma'am opens door or
window and the fresh, cool air sends the
warm air in the room up the chimney in q
hurry and the fire brightens. And the little
lady reminds them of another fact; If the
sunshine falls directly upon the fire 1t is
at least rival light, and not so well cal
culated to show the glow of the Goals as a
huttering shadow would be.

pen Butler and the Pace.

One of the pages in the house of repre-.
sentatives had faculty for drawing. His
sketches Of the members were fairly good
caricatures. The easiest mark for his pencil
was the statesman from Massachusetts,, and
the caricatures Of Ben began to float around
the house pretty promiscuously. The matter
coming to the attention of Mr.. Butler, com.
plant was made to the doorkeeper, who had
charge of the pages. The offending boy was
kept after adjournment to be reprimanded
ne was taken before the statesman, who had
waited to hold court on the little criminal.

The boy scampered off on the errand, glad

impending punishment, which was such that
the judge needed his hat before going to the
place of execution. When the youngster had
returned and tremblingly yielded up the tile,
the general, who has an enormous head,
threw the hat like a candle snulfer down over
the tow head and flaming face Of the boy.
It covered him like second mortgage.

Intelligence of Rats.

BATS are usually considered noxious ami
mails and little mercy Is shown to them
Doubtless they were created for a useful pur-
pose-perhaps to act as scavengers and help
to remove offensive objects When they de-
stroy young ducks and chickens, or pillage
grain in the stables, it Is right to keep them
down.
At a country house, where they had become
very troublesome, a barrel was sunk in the
ground behind the stable yard and half filed
with water. A fiat stick was balanced as a
swivel over 1t, and bait put on the end
over the water. Next morning the bait was
gone, but no drowned rat was in the water.
The coachman pointed out, from the marks
left on the wood, that a large rat had sat on
the shore end Of the stick while smaller rat
had in safety removed the bait from the other
