THE SCIENCE OF ADVERTIsING.-Suc-
cessful advertising requires brain and good
Judgment, and strong common sense.
Thousands of dollars are thrown away ev-
cry day in injudicious advertising. So
says one of our contemporaries, and we
are not disposed to contradict him. Not
that it requires genius to advertise judi
ciously. On the contrary, the best equip
ment for an advertiser is to have some
thing good to advertise, and then make it
known in a plain, unmistakable manner,
and keep on making the public familiar
with it, until success is insured. 1t does
not matter whether he has goods for sale,
or work to perform, or a trade journal to
circulate; the requisites for successful ad-
vertising are the same, and the first is to
offer something good to your public: AND
the next is to keep on making it known
until you have secured the attention of
your public, and mind never to drop off
unless you want to be forgotten and have
to do some of your work over again. Iii
easier to underdo than overdo advertising.
The experience ~ofadvertisers in all times
has been that constancy in advertising is
absolutely indispensable. This seems to
be a requisite so essential that it perhaps
outWeighs that which we placed first,
namely, having something really good to
advertise. Scores of instances are known
to US in which worthless, or even harmful
articles, as certain alleged remedies for
various aches and sufferings, both of man
and beast, have attained immense sales,
merely in consequence of persistent adver-
Using. On the other hand, many useful
articles fail to become popular, because
the proprietor gave up in disgust, on find
ing that the public or the trade did not
respond to his advertising attempts

THE BEST SCHOOLS ARE THOSE THAT
ARE AIDED.-Those most familiar with
educational affairs in the South know
that the best schools exist in those local
tiles which have received, or are receiv-
ing, assistance from the Peabody Educa-
tional Fund, and We have not yet heard
any one say that this aid promotes men
dicancy," or has in the least injurious
ly affected the "self-respect' of any man,
white or black, rich or poor, in all the
great Southland. The Blair Bill is sim
ply the Peabody Fund on a large scale.
Its wise and beneficent provisions will do
for every child of the South what the Pea
body Fund, even with its large resources,
has been able to accomplish only for par
ticular localities. By the way, speaking
little singular that so many communities
manifest such a willingness to part with it
as is shown by the large number of petit
tions for assistance sent to the Peabody
Board? Has a single case been put on
record where q community has refused its
assistance, or having accepted it, has not
been much benefited? We believe there
is Carolina Teacher.
ONLY "TEN MINUTEs."-A touching
story is told of the late Prince Napoleon.
He had joined the English Army, and was
one day at the head Of a squad riding on
horseback outside of the camp. It wa q
dangerous situation. One of the company
said "We had better return. If wedon't
hasten, we may fall into the hands of the
enemy" .lr said the prince, 'let US
stay here ten minutes and drink our cof-
tee." Before the ten minutes had passed,
a company of Zulus came upon them, and
in the skirmish the prince lost his life.
His mother, when informed of the facts,
in her anguish said "That was a great
mistake from his babyhood. He never
wanted to go to bed at night in time, nor
to rise in the morning. He was ever
pleading for ten minutes more. When too
sleepy to speak he would lift up his two
little hands and spread out his ten fingers
indicating that he wanted ten minutes
more. On this account I sometimes called
him Mr.. Ten Minutes"

The republics of ancient Greece are
dead, but are Marathon and Salamis and
Platea to be forgotten because Greece is
living Greece no more? On the contrary,
have they not been the inspiration of all
that have resisted despotism and fought
for freedom from their day to ours?
The Commonwealth of England has
persisted, but is not patriotism yet kindled
by the names of John Hampden and John
Milton and Harry Vane and Admiral
Blake?
What does England now care for the
wars of the White and Red Roses? She
cares this: She cherishes the memories of
the men who illustrated British yalor, for
titude and pluck, but she has forgotten
whether they belonged to the house of
York or of Lancaster.-Rer. Dr.. Hoge.
The BAGp1pE.-The origin of the bag
pipe, like that of the instruments Of the
flute family, may be traced back to the
bamboo reed. After flutes, clarionets and
similar instruments had been for some
time in use, certain disadvantages were
perceived, the principal among them being
the fact that in blowing the flute the sole
reliance must be had upon the lungs of the
performer, and as the supply Of air in
these was limited, the music must be in
termittent. In other words, no stock of
wind could be accumulated, and the notes
of a flute must therefore be short and
jerky. TO remedy this evil was the task
to which the early inventors turned their
attention, and when the wind-bag came it
was naturally considered a grand inven-
ton. The bagpipe is therefore a flute
with a bag attached, in which a store of
air may be accumulated, the instrument
not being Immediately dependent upon
the lungs of the performer for the effect
produced. In the common form of the
bagpipe the air is forced into the tight
receptacle from the lungs of the performer
and then from the reservoir into the flute
by means of the elbow of the player, the
bag being held between the arm and the
side and the elbow used to drive out the
air. In some forms of the instruments a

The Cause of TyrotoxIcon.

When such virulent diseases as farcy and glanders are produced in close, ill- ventilated stables by the absorption of the poisonous matters given off from the horses, and are wholly prevented when, by sufficient air space and thor ough ventilation, the atmosphere is made pure. it should be clear that the milk from COWS that are kept in inn pure air, and are forced to breath all the unwholesome emanations from their own bodies, can not fail to be loaded with these injurious impuri- ties. It is know that the milk secre- ton affords an outlet for various abnormal products from the system
 The odor of decaying turnips breathed by the COWS even affects the milk as much as if the turnips had been eaten, and it has been known that the putrid emanations from dead horse, blown by the winds into a stable, has made the milk unfit for use. All these facts give a much more reasonable clew to the mysterious poison than the ill., defined and vague improper care of the milk and unskillful manufacture. And it is in this direction, we believe, that the means of discovery and pre- vention must be sought.-N '. Tunes.

BREAKING IN CADETS.
The Training to Which Uncle Sam's Young
 Naval Heroes Are Subjected.

The Training to Which Uncle Sam's Young
 Naval Heroes Are Subjected.
 Within few days the cadets shake
 easily into their places, and by go-
 ing over the masthead every morn
 ing, sending up and down the light
 spars, and being ordered to get a pull
 here and pull there and long pull together everywhere, during the best part of their waking hours, they soon acquire nautical air and fairly good grip upon the strange surroundings. Two or three days later the Constella- tion drops down the Annapolis roads, stands into Chesapeake bay, and the long-looked-for cruise begins. Prac- tical work commences at once, and if
 the winds be unfavorable, and they are usually, the ship beats down the bay in the daytime and anchors at sunset. Here the new cadet sees the envied senior class men in charge of the deck, make and take in sail, tack, wear, boxhaul and chapel ship; see him occasionally miss stays and box her off, heave to, get casts of the deep-sea lead, shift sails and spars, reef and shake out reefs, and bring the ship to an anchor. All this time he is doing yeoman's service himself; his hands get horny and hard; his white working clothes are tarry, and he is so used to stamping and going it' that when night comes he is glad to turn in early, and leave tho hafdships of anchor-watch to those who have enjoyed the triumphs Of the quarterback After Hampton roads are reached, the vessel lies at anchor for week or more; but this is a busy season, and all day long there are great-gun, company, pistol or small arm drills, fire quarters, boats armed and equiped, or that stirring exercise when the crew and cadets are called to abandon ship" This drill is usually executed without previous warning, exactly as it might be needed in an sudden emergency, as in a col lision, or danger of laundering on the high sea; but within a moment after the order rings out, every one is at his station; some lower the boats, others stand sentry over the falls, so no unauthorized or panic. stricken person may enter without orders; the majority pass up provisions and water, cooking utensils, arms, am- intuition and nautical instruments, there is heard everywhere the rush of feet, the whimper of boatfalls as the davits creak and complain with the strain and the weight of the crews lowering themselves by stopper or from every gun-port willing hands pass stores into the cutters, and when ready, each reports its name and In less than five minutes, if the discipline be good, the crew is en- parked in cutters, whale-boats, launches, gig and dingy, all submerged almost to their gunwales, and the ship is abandoned officially. -Lieutenant Kelley, ifs Harper'S Ma1azine.

A Joke on Prof. Hermann.

''I once had singular experience, he said, "while giving a performance at the house of the Governor of Monte- video, in which I had tables turned on me. During my performance l noticed three half-savage Patagonians stand ing aside from the rest of the com pany, and I at once determined to have some fun with them. From the nose of the first 1 took an orange, from the hair of the second l took number of silver coins, and the third was overpowered with terror when 1 extracted a live rat from his nose. Uttering cry of fright, the Patagonians withdrew. While receiv- ing the congratulations of the guests on the success of the entertainment l discovered that my watch and chain, purse, eyeglasses and handkerchief were missing. In a short time the Pat agonians returned, and the one from whose nose the rat had been taken handed me the missing articles. He had picked my pocket at the moment he appeared to be overcome with fright. "-NeW HQpen Union,

 ''Some one at the door wishes to see you Elsie,n said her mother to her the next morning.
 A very dirty, bare-headed, bare footed little boy stood there with great bunch of beautiful wild flowers which he offered to Elsie, saying:
 You ain't stuck up mite and I'm no end O sorry I said you was. You laid right down on that dirty log with all your clean things on-and if you hadn't-we-we shouldn't a had any baby to our house this mornin'."

FORMS OF SALUTATIONS.
How Persons Greet Each Other in Al
 Parts of the World.

How Persons Greet Each Other in Al
 Parts of the World.
 The most common form of saluta tion among the Anglo-Saxons is shak. ing hands.
 M en usually greet women by raising the hat, but no two men were ever found who observed the courtesy in the same manner. !
 There is no authorized manner for a lady to return mans salute. Novelty is what the fair sex seeks, and each one has her own little way.
 Peasants in Spain greet strangers they meet by generously offering him one-half the bread he carries. It is never accepted without great astonish- ment to the donnor.
 Among the French, and especially with the Belgians, men think nothing of embracing each other in public. A father and son, or other near relations, often kiss in public.
 The Japanese show respect on meet ing by bending the knee, though in the street they only make feint of so do- ing. This is the general salute, but there are many others which are re- quired from interiors on encountering those of higher positions.
 In India the Buddhists salute by low ering the palm of the right hand and bringing it up toward the face, at the same time saying: Ram, ram chair. :" The Mohammedans do the same, but simply say: ''Salaam." This is only done in either case by members of the same faith. The salutation is always made, too, with the right hand, to use the left being considered an insult
 The Chinese have regular code of salutations, eight in number, which define the proper amount of respect to be paid to different individuals. The one which is most familiar to San Franciscans iss that when at the new year the Chinaman clasps his hands together, and, gently lowing, wishes his friend the compliments of the sea- son. Two curious greetings which these people have among themselves are those of asking each other: Have you eaten rice?" and "Is your stomach in good order?"
 A stranger coming among the Moors for the first time would, perhaps, be astonished and little frightened by seeing one of them riding at full gal lop toward him, as if he were intend ing to execute a cavalry charge. His fears might, perhaps, be increased when this horseman, when almost close to his apparent victim, suddenly refined up and discharged his pistol over his head. Recovering from his astonish- ment, however, he would find that this is the Moorish way of welcoming a stranger.
 In Germany, however, the regula- tions are somewhat more stringent. A soldier, on meeting the Emperor, has to stand still, face about, and remain with hand raised for from ten to twenty paces before His Majesty approaches to the same distance after he has passed. In Belgium an officer has to do the same thing for the King, and subalterns for Generals, though ten paces only are required for the latter case. Sol diers carrying any thing so that their hands are occupied, salute with their eyes-that is, they turn their heads in the direction of the person coming and going. Chjcp~a NeUs,

piece comes rattling down. He tears, pounds, cuts, slashes more vigorously than ever. Yes, it is large enough! He draws himself up and emerges from what threatened to be his tomb, the place of horrible and revolting death, and is safe.
 And now he began relocating his rife, and the second bear, as it crawled through the log and sniffed moment at the hole from which the hunter emerged, was shot through the head. ''Them bears," he said, ''as he mopped his face, weighed almost 'zactly eight hundred pounds-one a leetle more 'an four hundred, an one leetle less. "- Cor. Philadelphia Tunes.

MINNIE vs. MINERVA.

Love me and will bring you as my dover Knowledge and wisdom and perpetual power. So speaks Minerva of the azure eyes, Wooing me boldly to be overwise, Now, Minnie, who is not a Grecian myth, But young lady by the name of Smith, Never says Love me- in so bold a way, But when I rise to leave her begs me stay; Blushes, or pales a little, and lets down Her long black lashes OCT her eyes of brown. And so finger; though must admit Delicious nonsense is her highest wit; And what she doesn't know would fill more
 books
 Than Boston's library holds in all its hooks. Yet the good humor of her turned-up face Outshines Minerva's mass of marble grace; And Tn the race for this weak heart of mine Between fair Minnie and Minerva fine Although to jilt goddess were sin, I'm very much afraid that Minnie'll win.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
DEAR TO SOMEBODY.

Somebody's darling was gaunt and old, Crippled and shockingly battered, Covered with bruises and scars untold, Ragged and torn and tattered. Somebody's darling had only an arm, And one of her eyes was missing; Her cheeks had lost their roseate charm, By reason of too much kissing. Somebody's darling was christened Poll; And this perceived full clearly, Although she was only an old black doll, Somebody loved her dearly.

~ ingalls,, who is President of the Senate,
sent letter of advice to the Chicago Con-
vention, from which the following paragraph
is taken:
Among all the men named there is not one
''leader." No one whose personal or his
torical relations to the people would make a
difference of 1000 votes in the canvass.
Sherman, Allison, Harrison, ETC., have records
that would be awkwa. on the tari4, the
currency, the Chinese question, etc. Depew's
connection with railroads and corporations
would be heavy load, especially in the
agricultural States. We might as we'll
nominate Gould or Vanderbilt at once. My
impression is that Alger or Gresham come
nearer filing the bill than any of the others,
with some fellow like Phelps of New Jersey,
who could reach the conservative forces Of
tie East and get contributions from the
manufacturers and Wall street.
Harrison has record that would be awk-
ward on the tacin, the currency, the Chinese
question etc." says ingalls,. But his advice
was not taken, and Harrison was chosen and
the Republicans start out loaded with man
but little known, who has record upon the
political issues of the day that will not bear
the scrutiny Of the American people Just at
the present time.
