Old sayings often convey
some very pungent truth with
them, but we know they are
sometimes hard TO live up to.
We know of one which says,
'sSave the pennies and the 5 S
5 will take care Of themselves" !"
This is true enough, but unless
one knows how to save cents,
the dollars will not accumulate.
Take our advice and they will
soon pile up. Our name is as
familiar to the people of this
country as a household word.
Still when you see it in print
continually it is a reminder that
our advice in the past has been
boon to those who take ad-
vantage oft. In every direc-
ton we meet your wants and
we guarantee satisfaction. The
present time deserves to be re-
corded in the pages Of Ameii-
can History as the age Of bombs.
Citizens are terrorized. The
minions and watch-dogs of the
law are kept busy unearthing
diabolical plots and bringing Of
tenders to justice and our whole
social system is disordered. In
spite of vigilance, however, a
scheme has just come to light
that has effectually blown to
pieces the combination to keep
up high prices on Paints and
Wall Paper. A heavy blow has
been dealt and prices have been
revolutlonized.a The monopo-
.listic march has been arrested
and thepeople are released from
the bondage in which they have
SO long been held. Henceforth
they will get guaranteed
quality and extensive assort-
ment to choose from for prices
which are the lowest Of the low.
There is an end to all things.
The crisis which hung for SO
long in the balance has burst
upon us and through the dim
visitia of the future, content and
happiness can be seen for those
who trade at, the, mammoth
Drug and Book House Of Saur
& Balsley. Your homes need
Frightening up, and nothing
can effect the change SO much
as some Of those beautiful pat
erns of.sWall Paperand Window
Shades, for the inside, and some
Of those bright, and pleasant
shades Of paint for the outside.

Brides Who Perch in Trees.

Among the Lolos of Western China
it is customary for the bride on the
wedding morning TO perch herself on
the highest branch of large tree,
while the elder female members Of her
family cluster on the lower limbs arm
ed with sticks. When all are duly
stationed the bridegroom chambers up
the tree, assailed on all sides by blows.
pushes and pinches from the dowagers.
and it is not until he has broken
through their fence and captured the
bride that he is allowed to carry her
off Similar difficulties assail the
bridegroom among the Mongolian
Koraks, who are in the habit of cele.
brating their marriages in large tents,
divided into numerous separate. but
communicating compartments. At a
given signal. as soon as the guests are
assembled, the bride starts off through
the compartments, followed by her
wooer, while the women of the en-.
campment throw every possible inn
pediment in his way. tripping up his
unwary feet, holding down the curtains
to prevent his passage, and applying
willow and alder switches numerically
as he stoops to raise them. As with
the maiden on the horse. and the
virgin on the tree-top. the Korak bride
is invariably captured, however. much
the possibilities of escape may be il
her favor. Magazine.

When one reflects that there is never
fire which would fill half-bushel

inches thick. and that the ground is Of

To Empty a Stable Full OF
Horses.

The question of how to empty a
stable full of horses in case of n fire. to
save the lives OF animals, is one of
great interest to owners of horses, re-
marks The Fireman's Herald. An
electrical company has lately put up
for firm in Centre street. New York
city. device for this purpose which is
now on trial.
The arrangement is of simple con-
struction. In the principal alleyway
leading into the stable is placed a
wheel about three feet in diameter,
which is connected by shafts with the
stalls. A heavy weight is suspended
from the circumference of the wheel
Delicate thermostats placed about
the ceiling of the stable are arranged SO
that very light increase of tempera-
ture will, by expansion, complete an
electrical circuit that will loosen the
weight suspended from the wheel, and
set the machinery in motion.
A bell will ring. the bolts of the
stalls will be drawn, the matters of the
horses loosened. and lastly. a double
stream of water will be thrown into the
face of each horse from two Jets placed
over the head of the stall.
The effect of this shower bath ill
be to cause the horse to back out of his
STALL He will find himself free, the
doors OF the stall and the stable open.
and in his light at the fire and the I'M
usual commotion. will naturally secure
his own safety.
