modern sy.tem of Advertising.

Tho honest system Of advertising should be
but small announcement of the offer Of
goods for tho information Of those who desire
to purchase, In such q manner that those
who desire to purchase, may, by seeking,
find. But in advertising as it now exists,
exaggeration is piled on exaggeration, and
falsehood is added TO falsehood The world
is filed with monstrous lies, and they are
thrust upon attention by every possible
means. The mails arc filed with them.
When man opens his mail In tho morning,
tho letter Of his friend is buried among these
advertising monstrosities They are thrust
under street DOORS and they are offered you
as you walk the streets When you read the
morning and evening papers, they are spread
before you with topographic display, they
arc placed among the items you desire to
read, and they are given false headings,
and they begin with decoy headings. They
are posted upon walls, and on the fences,
and ON tho sidewalks, Gnd en- bale
tin boards, and the barns and housetops
and tho fences Of all the land are covered
with them, and they are nailed to the tree
and painted on rocks. Thus 1t Is that the
whole civilized world Is placarded with lies,
and the moral atmosphere Of the world
wrealss with the foul breath OF this monster
of antagonistic competition. Mai J. w.

Dynamite, when handled With ordinary
care, Is not nearly SO dangerous an explosive
as ordinary gunpowder. In fact, dynamite
does not explode easily, but requires a sharp
defamation to cause 1t to exhibits its immense
strength To fire dynamite a illuminate can
Is employed, which Is itself exploded by an
electric current from what Is known az a
ratchet machine. The electric current in its
passage through a small portion of platinum
wire in the cap raises the temperature Of the
platinum to white heat. This ignites the
illuminate, which detonates, striking the
dynamite cartridges with blow Of about
700 pounds, and exploding them. An ordi-
nary blow with a pick or iron drill win not ex-
plode dynamite cartridge, but will explode
the cap.
The whole source Of danger lies In the fact
that the men using the explosive do not UNI
derstand that u is the cap and firing machine
they must handle with care. A properly
prepared and electrically connected charge
will seldom II ever fail to explode. Careless
ness In connecting the wires from the caps
and In giving the firing machine more work
than 1t can do, often results in leaving q por-
tion Of the charge unexploded TO the immi-
nent danger Of the men on resuming work
The employment Of dynamite In all rock
work has been carried to such an extent In
recent years that ordinary miners, men who
from the nature Of their education are totally
unable to comprehend the requirements for
absolute safety, and allowed to place and fire
charges. This Is all wrong and should DO
prohibited by law. No one unfamiliar with
the requirements should be allowed to under
take such work. Putting ignorant and care
less men In position to handle any Of tho
modern high explosives Is almost certain TO

One thing to be borne In mind In reAec-
lions upon our future Is that modern cities
are to an unprecedented extent artificial prod
ucts, the work Of mems genius and energy.
Formerly nature decided where great city
could grow up, and high civilization was
possible only on the sea coast or on the banks
of great rivers. Now man has subjugated
nature to such an extent that he is, compare
lively speaking, independent Of her within
and caprice IL natural waterways fail,
he may construct artificial waterways, and
even without the aid Of navigation at all
city may spring up In the heart Of con
tinent
Berlin, nearly the size Of New York, is in
the center OF great open plain on the con-
tinent Of Europe, and may be regarded as q
work Of art. Only by canals can navigable
rivers be reached, while the modern iron
highway, the railroad, still moro an artificial
product, Is far more important element in
developing Berlin, which has become an Inn
portant railroad center. Il 10 the will Of man

Now Anecdete. OF Grant.


Aropos OF "reminiscences concerning Gen.
Grant is this, which comes from his old
home In Galena
Gen. Smith, one of the old residents of the
place, was at dinner one day, before the war
was fairly inaugurated, when a servant an
nounced:
Some one to see you, SIR"
"a gentleman, Jamesr'
"Well, no, sir; he's just common man
gave him a chair In the hall.n
The common mani was the tanner Grant,
the future commander in chief OF tho army
Of America.
A few years later two gontlomen called on
young man who was located in Chicago
boarding house. Two pieces of pasteboard
were sent to his room; on one was written In
pencil the name U. 8. Grant. The other
bore the cognomen Of Gen. Grants friend
and chum, J. Russell Jones.
The young man on whom Gen. Grant was
calling was Eugene Smith, the son Of Gen.
Smith, of Galena. The common mans"
name was then foremost In the world.
At one time the ladies of a certain church
in Galena gave series OF tea parties for
some charitable organization. Mrs. U. q.
Grant belonged to the church circle, but
would not give the tea party.

Professor and PoIanders.

Once upon time a Harvard professor,
while walking on highway near Boston,
halted to look at a gang Of laborers plying
their picks and shovels in repairing rail-
road. He pricked up his ears when he heard
the gang jabbering Latin like old Romans
Hc introduced himself in the same tongue
when he found that the gang were Polanders,
graduates of the University of Warsaw, who,
having found out that they were about TO be
arrested by the Russian authorities on the
charge Of conspiracy against the car, fed to
this country, where, being in q penniless
state, they were glad to get employment as
laborers on the railroad. The Harvard pro-
lessor interested himself in the cases Of sew
eral Of the laborers, to their advantage, and
even found professors chair for blue
blooded member Of the gang. The incident
was narrated the other day, when reporter
told Of interviewing group Of three street
PAYERS uptown, every one of whom was able
to converse with him In five modern lam
guages. Their wages are nominally Sc a day,
but they are laid Off so often that they can
not average more than IS a week.

MIsslons for .central Afrlea.

Almost all round Africa, and most mark
edly so along the coast of Guinea, there
runs, for the breadth Of from 20 TO 15C
miles inland from the coast, a belt OF mala-
rious country, consisting Of low lying plains
and vast mangrove swamps, which are COW
cred with masses Of decaying vegetation.
The climate is hot and moist, the sun beats
fercely down, and the foul fog which 10
draws up from the stagnant waters Is
charged with death. II 1t does not destroy
the life at once, at least, like opium eating,
1t slowly saps all the vital forces. The nobler
beasts Of burden themselves sicken and die
In this pestilential atmosphere. No amount
of care enables them to live out their natural
term. Woe to the European visitor who
leaves his vessel and incautiously passes q
night upon the shorei He sometimes falls a
victim at once or, worse still, he carries about
henceforward a sentence of death within
himself. Sierra Leone itself has long been
known as '.the white mans grave Those
Europeans who manage somehow or other
to acclimatize Themselves are generally the
least favorable specimens Of their race.
1t is not, as Mr.. Blyden points out, the
ATTEST but tho ''unflttest, ? who survive.
The finer and more manly African races who
live behind the coast ranges OF mountains
and within the central plateau, with it's more
moderate temperature and invigorating air,
when they venture down TO this fever stricken
region, themselves gradually degenerate,
physically and morally, even as did the
hardy Samnites Of old when they pressed
down from their mountain Businesses In the
Central Apennines to the luxurious shores of
Campania With noble self-devotion, but, it
must be added, with strange short sighted

Any person anxious to know what has bo-
come of the majority Of the emblematic signs
which ten or fifteen years ago hung half
dozen in every block should visit any large

are all on dusty shelves In the storerooms.
They are all gone OUT, = said a signiriaksT,
ruefully looking over his collection. "True,
the idea of painting tobacconists' signs white
and making them look weird and ghost like
revived that particular sign for time and
brought back same Of its old time effective
ness, but emblematic signs In general belong
to the past About all we sell nowadays are

Why, some of them, particularly the life
figures, are works of art. There are wooden
and metallic Indians and beasts in stock that
pretentious sculptors would not be ashamed
of. Look at that bulls head and at that
bust of Gambrinusl Look at the care and
time it took to carve even so simple thing
as a gun and get 1t true to life. Emblematic
signs are carved no more Those that are
built are made of iron, either cast or spun.
A use for which some Of them yet command
good price is as weather vanes and as the
tops of Hagstaffs. There are numerous men
In town who have expensive emblematic
vanes on their stables. 1 heard of one man
who took bis indoors at night. 1t was SO
costly he was afraid it would tempt thieves
"But business In other kinds Of signs Is
brisk enough he continued. 1--WE mako
them Of wood, iron, glass, mirrors, porcelain,
copper, wire. silk, velvet and plush. The
signs in this city, as a whole, are second In
artisticness only TO those In New York, and
that city's signs are second to mono. The
tendency is all toward display, with as much
gold and glitter as possible. I wouldn't dare
guess how many hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars worth Of gold leaf the signmnlSera Of
the country use up in year. Carved signs
are the most expensive. It's no uncommon
thing for q. merchant to plaster 81 500 to
$1,000 worth Of signs on the front Of his

Dermuda's Great Profit in Raising Early
Vegetables for the Metropolis.
Bermuda, the winter paradise Of the guide
books, possesses deeper interest for the ma
jority Of New Workers than as a pleasure
resort alone. 1t supplies the wealthy with
fresh vegetables in winter. There are q
thousand who eat Bermuda potatoes, Ber-
muda onions and Bermuda beets to one who
goes to bask In the genial climate of the
island. Although the Berlnudas are In about
the same latitude as Charleston, the prox-
unity of the Gulf Stream gives them warm,
moist climate that wonderfully stimulates
vegetation. Inc soil is very rich, and ali
conditions combine to make the islands the
most perfect garden spot in the world The
statistics of the production of the Bermudas
are something startling.
The principal island Of the group Is shaped
somewhat like the letter s, and is only
twenty-five miles long, following It's curves,
or eighteen miles as the crow flies. At its
widest part the distance across the island il
only one and a half miles, The total area is
l., 378 acres, Of which not over 400 acres
are cultivated The remainder IL made up
OF rugged hillsidss and timber land. Tho
soil suitable for gardening lies in pockets
and basins, and the largest plots cultivated
do not exceed four acres each So prolific
are tho 400 acres that the wants of the
population Of 1900 people are supplied, and
In one year produce valued at over $500, 900
was exported.
The island is divided into small farms Of
from twenty to thirty acres each. The land
Is valued at from $3.50 TO $3.50 per aero, and
farms Of twenty five acres with good DWELL
ing and outbuildings rent for $500 q year. A
little over half Of the population are negroes.
The whites first came to the island from
Virginia, but have been largely increased
by English settlers in recent years, Fruits
and grain are raised for home consumption,
but the chief occupation Ia vegetable grow
ing. The Bermuda onions, which are cele-
brated for their mild flavor, large size and
handsome appearance, are planted in hot
beds In October. In December they are
transplanted In the open fields, and the first
bulbs are shipped to this market about the
middle OF March. The potatoes and beets
are planted in December and january. Some
Of the roots are pulled and shipped as early
as the first Of March, and by the end OF the
month these vegetables are at their best. The
tomato crop is planted In December, set out
In january, and ripens from the middle Of
March until June The largest production
in any one year was In 1882 The average
value Of the crop exported is $4,000 Ninety
per cent. Of all the produce shipped comes to
