Let Your LIGHT Shine.

In ninety-nine cases out OF a hundred sue
cess is the stamp of merit. There may be
enough seeming exceptions to prove the rule,
but the proposition will stand. How is sue
cess attaineds Variously. In business per-
haps the essential of essentials is judicious,
persistent advertising. Men who are '.up to
SNUFF have grasped the idea. Many ex-
amples might be given. Probably none
would better illustrate the truth of the above
than r. W. Tansill, the cigar manufacturer
of Chicago. Before he came into the field
the opinion prevailed that cigars could be
sold only by employing travelling -men. Mr..
Tansill thought differently. He thought that
an honest article, at fair margin of profit,
and literally advertised in newspapers, could
be sold direct to the retailer, thus saving to
the dealer the large item of expense repre-
seRted by the high-priced traveiing-man:
The plan worked from the start. Dealer and
smoker "caught on' to such a surprising
extent that, even at the small profit he re-
serves for himself, Mr.. T. is now recognized
as one of the solid men of Chicago. He has
kept faith with his customers and with the
public, and the name of his punch cigar is
a household word Honesty, and originality,

ST shall never forget the first time saw
John C. Fremont" said a pedestrian on
Broadway in New York the ether day.
1T was soon after his nomination as the
first candidate of the Republican party
in 1856. An immense and enthusiastic
crowd, wearing wideawake eapes and
bearing torches, gathered in front Of the
house in which he was staying, and
which, unless I am mistaken, was in
Twelfth street, just west of Fifth avenue.
Freme 1t and Jessie appeared on the bal
cony, and when we caught sight of the
romantic couple, in the light of the fam
ing torches, they seemed to be the ideal
specimens of manly vigor and womanly
grace. We rent the air wi tn our plaudits,
and our salutations were returned by the
twain, who looked supremely happy.
Wherever Fremont went he was the hero
without parallel at that time, but now
he walks through the crowded streets,
wholly unknown to the surging multi
tudes-o

The farmer should remember that
if he can pillow at any time during the
winter he will gain so much time for
spring work. Ground that will be ex-
posed to frost may be plowed wet,
dry. or in any other condition, as the
expansion and contraction of heat and
cold will prevent its clogging. The
frost is the best pulverizer known.

a gentleman from Scotland, who
spent last summer in the Province OF
Quebec, gives Glasgow paper an in
teresting account of the feeundity OF
the French population. and of its prob
able effect on the future of the Do
minion. He states that families OF
from sixteen to nineteen children are
by no means uncommon. During a
century the French population of Cam
ada has increased from about 20. 600
to 1,225 600. This remarkable increase
has not been due TO immigration. as
the proportion of French settlers since
the country passed under British rule
has been very small. In fact, hun
dred French families have moved INTO
the United States for every one that
has come from the land of Lafayette
Many of these expect to return. and
large proportion of the young men ana
women who come to this country send
home much of their earnings. The
priests are reluctant to have them 60
away for fear they will lose their re-
gard for the church.
The French in Canada are gradual

many townships that were once en-
tirely occupied by the Protestant En-

RAT AND MICE RAPS,
New and Efficient Designs Invented by
American Geniuses.

American Geniuses.
THE increased sale of poison has
caused manufacturers of rat and
mouse traps to wake up" said sale
man recently. Those patent foods arc
SO much easier to handle than the old
traps that housekeepers prefer to use
them. The old-fashioned mousetraps
made of wire and wood. with piece
of cheese hung on hook inside, have
gone entirely out of date. The trouble
with these traps is that the rats and
mice soon get to know them and will
keep away from them. A new trap
for mice has been made and is very
successful. 1t is built in the shape of
small house with doors and
windows. These doors and VIM
dows all open when pushed
against, but spring shut again at once
and can not be opened from the inside.
AS bait little grain is distributed
about the inside of the house. The
mice soon find this out and several
can be caught in one night in this
trap. For rats something stronger is
required, and rats are very cunning.
too A very popular trap is made of
two rows of steel teeth. When the
trap is set these teeth are opened and
hidden from view. A piece of meat
is placed on spring in the center of
the trap. and when touched releases
the teeth. which spring shut and kill
the rat at once. All rat traps are on
the spring system. One trap has
piece of steel wire that falls and holds
the rat prisoner. Rats scream very
much when caught and some have
been known to eat off their own legs
