KNOW YOUR OWN STATE.

As will be seen by the certificate be-
low, we have secured the exclusive con-
troll of Tunison's new Map of the state
of Wisconsin, and will furnish the Map
to all subscribers to this paper for the
sum of fifty cents over the regular SUBJ
scription price, when the subscription is
paid in advance. The publishers price
of the Map is $1.50. 1t is by % feet
in size; mounted on rollers, bound,
colored, and vanished shows each
Township colored separate and named.
With the numbers of the Townships
along the meridians, and numbers of
the range along the base lines, we can
find the exact number Of Township,
Section, and Range of any town, place
or farm in the state. Names of rail-
roads are printed on them, and rivers
are double-lined as far as navigable.
This Map gives the population of every
town and postroffice in thestate, with
index to position of each, enabling us to
find any town in one seconds time. Al
so shows the population of the State by
counties, with index to their position,
and gives brief history of the state. AL
so gives the area, width, length, depth,
etc, of the Lakes, an engraving of the
State Capital building, ETC., and is the
best, latest and most useful Map of the
State published.

MONTREAL, Dec. 20, 1885.
DEAR Mr.. CHESTER.
In regard to your Cure, I can say that
/ think it an excellent preparation. l
have used it and have come much in
contact with its use. The best estimate
of its intrinsic worth is to be drawn
from the fact that the sales increase
steadily with little or no advertising.
One person recommends it to another,
and its sale is based, in my opinion,
more upon its worth as remedy than
upon the results Of public advertising
done in the past. Yours truly,
HENRY MILES,
Manager Lyman Sons & Co.

A New Disinfectant.

A new and powerful disinfectant has
lately been discovered by Partisan
chemist, and if what he claims for it
be true, it will be adopted for every
conceivable purpose for which disin-
fectants are generally used. The basis
of the preparation has been obtained
from coal oil and is brown liquid of a
not very disagreeable odor. 1t is the
result of a peculiar saponifcation of
the oil by a chemical process with a
mixture of caustic soda The value of
the disinfectant was accidentally dis
covered by the author, who, desiring
to save a pet tree around which a lot
of fungus and moss had grown, sprin-
killed. some of the mixture around the
roots. By repeated use the excresence
was shortly afterward noticed to sepa-
rate from the tree and fall to the ground.
Horses were also sponged with weak
solution of the mixture and it was
noticed that flies which generally pes
ter the animals gave them wide birth

TRAVELLING IN PERSIA.
4 Country Where Poor People Live q
Eight Cents a Day.

\ Country Where Poor People Live on
Eight Cents n Day.
When we enter Persia we are in the
poor mans PARADISE country where
existence is possible upon 4d. q day.
where meat costs Id. pound, and
bread a quarter as much in ordinary
times; where fowl may be purchased
for 3d., a partridge or wild duck for
I'd; where serviceable pony can be
had for five-pound note and valu-
able thoroughbred for f20; where a
servant can be hired for IS. q
month and his rations, and you can
feed horse upon Sd. a day. In most
of the cities a large house can be
rented for from Flo to ESQ year. and
all the necessaries of life are to be had
at the very cheapest rate. The very
mules upon which we are to march to
the capital. each of which will carry
load of 2S0 pounds, are hired at
the rate of Cd. day; and yet from this
small sum the muleteer, if he be fortu-
nate, will obtain a good profit. The
beasts are fat, there is plentiful her.
bage for the first five stages, and a
handful of barley and eight pounds OF
cut straw is all that the mules will get
during the other six days journey, and
each day the mules will march their 20
to % miles, and go merrily along under
their 300-pound load. for the great pack
saddle can not weigh less than 20 to 80
pounds, while the load itself is seldom
less than go, and they will steadily
maintain their pace at an average of
four miles an hour. save in the case of
mountain passes, storms, swamps, and
the numerous contretempS Incidental
to Eastern travel. The pack-saddle is
a very important part of the mules
equipment. Save when he is curry
combed, the pack-saddle never leaves
him by day or night; it supports the
load and acts as his clothing, for,
however severe the weather may
be, the hardy Persian mule gets
no other. OF course, the pack saddle
is of the most solid construction;
its high peak towers at least Is inches
above the witherS of the animal, and
the padding is nowhere less than six
inches thick. This padding is COM
posed of cut straw, and the muleteer
is accustomed. bv means of packing
needle thrust through the lining of the
pad, to shift this stutfing in such a way
as to remove the pressure from any
part of the animals back which may
become tender. OF course, a mule with
a bad sore back is useless and has to be
turned out to grass; and, strange to
say, though there are many millions
of mules and ponies used as beasts of
burden in Persia-for, be it remem-
bered, there are no railways, no rivers,
no canals, and only one road, that
from Kasvin to the capital Except a
few that have been made for the Shah's
personal convenience-still a mule
with sore back is a very unusual
sight. This says great deal for the
care, intelligence and skill of the Per-
sian muleteer.- Words.

Absolute perfection is rarely attaina-
BILE, as a defect in single atom is
likely to affect the whole combination.
A bridge is no stronger than its

may prevent the use of all the balance.
How often do we find it the case that
the neglect of some little moment, has
turned the tide towards failure when
success was in sight.
Manufacturers often become so abb
sorbed in some vital principal, that
they neglect details, little points are
overlooked, and when dependence is
placed on these, they fail, and the
whole work is condemned as a conse-
quence. A recent invitation to inspect
the working OF new machine was a
disappointment simply because the
manufacturer had neglected to send
a single bolt, and loss of time and dis
appointment to the party needing the
machine was the result. An article
for household use, but little liable to
get out of order, but requiring wrench
- remove certain parts when it be-
came a necessity, was thrown out be-
cause the wrench was useless. In this
case every part was carefully made
and fitted, and of good material, but it
required a wrench of special form to
adjust certain parts in case of failure
to work properly. Although the arti-
Gle was an expensive one, the wrench

for the superhuous japan with which
it was coated to hide its imperfectiOns.

Mr.. Harrison will take his seat just in
time TO participate in very important and
interesting historical celebration. On April
g. 1859 the first Congress under the constitu-
ton assembled in New York city and opened
and counted the electoral vote. On April
23d Washington, whose journey from his
home at Mount Vernon had been one contin-
u0us triumphal progress, embarked from
Elizabethtown Point, New Jersey, in barge
and crossed to the lower part of New York.
followed by a procession of boats Washing
ton landed amid the firing Of guns and was
conducted to his official residence. That
night the city was illuminated in his honor.
On April Both Washington took the oath OF
Office ON the balcony of the Senate chamber
on Broad street, and afterward with Con-
gress attended religious service at st. Pauls
church. The hundredth anniversary of this
day will be observed in New York next
April. The programme is arranged so that
President Harrison shall cross from the
same point in New Jersey to New York, just
as Washington did, and escorted by process
sion of war vessels, yachts and other craft.
He will land amid the firing of salutes Wash
ington did, and will be honored and entertain
ed by the citizens. A great military and indus
trial parade, orations, fireworks, etc., will
commemorate the Inauguration, after which
religious services will be held in the same
old church of st. Paul which remains to this
day. The celebration will be most worthy
and fitting and we predict that President
Benjamin Harrison will carry out his part Of
1t like soldier, a gentleman and President
Of this grand republic.

once more to his hands. 1t must be remem-
bered that approval of the Mills Dill was
not made part of the Democratic creed
without protest? Senator German
strongly opposed its insertion in the Demo-
cratic platform; SO did Edward Cooper. 1t
must be remembered too that many Demo-
Gratis who voted for the bill in the House were
dragooned into so doing. A great deal of its
support was not voluntary, but was given
under duress. There was then strong pro-
lection element in the Democratic party in
the North which protested through in vain.
against the Mills bill. The greater part no
doubt of this element voted for Grover
Cleveland because he was the regular
nominee of the party, but some of it I'M
doubleday voted against him because of his
attitude toward protection. The voice of
this element was stifed before election.
Now however, it will make itself heard. In
deed it has begun to speak already. Its voice
may not have reached Corsicana, Texas,
where lives the Hon. Roger Q. Mills, but we
venture to say that when he gets as far
North as Washington be will be able to hear
1t. He may think now that the Democracy
is ready to support him solidly in another raid
on protection, but when he gets to Wash
ington. probably, he will find good deal
of murmuring in the ranks, and it wouldn't
be surprising il his reception was somewhat
chilly, especially from his fellow Congress

their adherence to the bill that bears his

The Republican party for two years at
branches Of the government, and the respon-
sibility will be entirely upon it. While
the credit Of good legislation will belong
entirely to it, SO will the discredit of bad
legislation if such there should be. The
Democracy are relieved from all responsible
ty. They became party of opposition pure
and simple. How long will they stay so !?
That depends very much upon the manner in
which the Republicans conduct themselves.
No party can continue itself in power In this
country except by satisfying the people that
it will be more for their interest to continue
1t than to turn it out and put the other in.
We hear great deal about the power of
patronage. The power of patronage is
greatly over estimated. Mr.. Cleveland
used the offices for all they were worth, yet
the power of patronage was not sufficient to
carry single state which he did not carry
four years ago when he had no such power,
while he lost three which he carried then.
A party that relies upon patronage to per-
petuate its control Of the government is
leaning on slender reed. The only safe
reliance is upon giving the people good
government. No doubt the lease of power
now given to Republican party will be con-
tinued a great many years if it lives up to
its professions. But that is the only sure
way to perpetuate it. Reckless and blunder-
ing legislation will cut 1t short in spite of all
the new States that may be admitted.

Mr.. Mills proclaims his intention to con-
tinue the fight for reform Of the tariff on the
free trade lines of the bill that bears his
name. So does the Parsee merchant, Mr.. j.
S. Moore. 1t remains to be seen, however,
whether the Democratic party will be ready
to follow the lead of these eminent free
traders now that the people have declared
against the Mills bill. The Democratic
party has not been noted, since the war, for
the irmness with which it has adhered to its
principles, even when there was no doubt
that the principle involved was one of the
cardinal principles of Democracy 1t deserted

In New Jersey the Prohibitionists did the

first under the Harrison administration,
should be to admit to the Union four new
