The very high class of art work notice
able in advertising matter calls attention
to the fact that almost the very best
artists are now employed by advertisers
lat the highest prices they command for
any work. to draw pictures for circulars,
pamphlets, guide books, the advertising
pages of the magazines, and for the public
columns of the newspapers. The artists
have taken warning from the fate of q
bright young fellow who allowed his sig
nature to appear too often In pictures In
railway advertising books, and all these
fine pieces of work they now turn ont are
copied without their signatures; indeed,
they contract that their names shall
neither appear nor be mentioned in CON
nection with their work. Not long ago
q large firm of manufacturers was so
pleased with the pictures a very famous
artist drew for one Of the pamphlets that
they scattered broadcast the statement
that the head of the house offered to pay
the artist his original price over again If
be would sign the picture he had made, in
order that they may hang In the manu-
facturer's parlor. The artist said he could
not do so for any price within the mean
Of the rich man.
The same companies that make use of
these high grade pictures also employ ex-
cellent talent for the writing of the read
ing mhIIer tnht accompanies the pictures,
and great advertisers now nave private
arrangements with literary or at least
semi-literary men, whose work In the
back columns of the papers attracts al
most as much attention as the news IT.
self. Here, again, the high prices are
paid and secrecy is maintained. One nat
ural effect of this is that which led an en-
terprising member of a small firm to COM
plain to the writer the other day that it
was no longer possible for him to adver-
tise In such a way Us to make his calls
upon h public attractive to the general
eye. He said that small business firms
in all the cities are now at their wits end
because they nave not got the money to
pay for ingenious writing or for display

VOICE OF THE FAITHFUL HEART.

Say, what is the wild seas message,
1t so eagerly bears 20 the land:
That so fondly it croons TO the pebbles,
As 1t dries 1t sad eyes on the strnndt
Do the pebbles It dallies and kisses,
And forsakes with a sob, as they part,
Alone know the echo that fingers,
Like the voice OF a fond. faithful HEARTY
Is the pebble an exile, I wonder,
From some sea bedded cavern of yorcf
Arc the waves but its couriers bearing
Sweet tidtngs from grotto to shoref
Docs 1t hArken and send back its greetingH
Is the kiss on the waves lips n partY
As swift aud as sure comes the answer,
From the voice of a fond, faithful heart.
Does the surf change forever, or ever
Do these c~Ouriers pause In their chase?
Are the depths OF the sea ever broken
By the tempests that wrinkle its faceY
All, mol And IA strong and enduring.
Though ocean and continent part,
Are tho whispers, heard but by the loved one,
From the voice of the fond, faithful heart.
EDeep down meath the bosom Of ocean,
Unsounded by plummet or line;
I peace from the storm md commotion,
That rnRe DER Its pillows of brine,
There are secrets that time shall not fathom,
There are Jewels unknown TO earth's mart.
As deep, ns true and as precious
Is tho voice of the fond, faithful heart.

Potato Rot.

An incident in my experience with
potatoes the last season seems to me
so singular that | am inclined to offer
an account of it to the Gazette.
| had a small piece of ground on
which corn was sown the previous sea-
son, and which had then received a
fair dressing of stable manure. pro-
cured potatoes from two different To-
calities-one mile and fifteen miles re-
spectively, and used a quantity of
StOckbridge potato manure at planting.
They were cultivated and hOed twice.
At digging time-early in September
the ground was quite wet from heavy
rains, and the crop, which was very
light, seemed to be almost half rotten.
We intended to leave all unsOund tu-
bers in the field, but good deal of
soil adhered to the potatoes, rendering
it difficult to distinguish between the
sound and unsOund ones. They were
placed upon floor and allowed to re-
main two or three weeks, when they
were carefully looked over and a good
many rejected, those appearing to be
sound being deposited in the cellar.
Since that time they have been twice
picked over, and perhaps twenty five
/
fected. The quality of the sound ones,
when cooked, is excellent.
! So far my experience does not prob
/ ably vary materially from that of most
others in this year of failure of the pO-
tatoe crop in this region, but the
strange part is to be related. | have
invariably been told that when rot has
begun to appear in a potato field the
crop should be dug as soon as possible,
as the only means of saving them. By
accident few hills at one corner of
nv field were overlooked when the
others were dug, and remained undis-
turbed until the last of October, and
/ when dug there were not seen any de-
cayed potatoes among them. They
were placed in the cellar, and Il few
days ago were carefully examined, and
only Il single potato was found to be
affected by rot, and that one but slight
| ly. The yield in these few hills was
! in about the same proportion as those
supposed to be sound among the others
at the time they were dug.
| Now, one swallow does not make a
summer, nor one snow storm a winter,
neither does a single experiment settle
any question of this nature. But the
incident related has had the effect to
make me skeptical as to the value OF
the advice SO uniformly given: q" II
the rot has struck your potatoes the
sooner you dig them the better."-[J.
Henry Goddard in Barre, Mass, Ga
Zette.
