Points About Advertising.

The wisest business men and the most sue
cessfui ones are those who keep their names
prominently before the public when trade is
good as well as when it is poor. When trade
is driving is the time TO make ones business
so well known that when the dull season
comes there will still be customers to keep
the manufacturer busy. Said business
man:
II mus. advertise If would get good re-
suits from my men on the road Before

would be told we are not acquainted with
your house. and in many cases found that
they could not secure an order, which, per-
chance, would be gwen 10 a competitor be-
fore their eyes. As soon as / began to adj

deal with those whom they know, or Of whom
they have heard so much that they feel &C
ouain:ed. A constant and continual adver-
tisement in a reputable journal, which is con
stantiy seen, is like the dripping water which
Is wearing away the finty rock, slowly it
may be, but surely. Circulars are thrown IN
the waste basket. Catalogues may find lodg-
rnent on shelf. but the frequent arrival Of

rninder which sooner or later must bear fruit.

Vieme Steele of Paris, published the state
ment that the British government has
taken the opportunity of the death OF
the Prince of Monaco to reopen the ques-

Establishments there. According to that
journal the present prince is man OF high
principle who is willing to give up the bust

though much was said against it, the
corset got the best of it.

Phosphorescent Powders.

From some interesting observations on
phosphorescant powders by E. Becquerel,
these results are summarized: l. Sulphur
and pure carbonate Of calcium give very
slight phosphorescence Z Sulphur and
pure carbonate Of calcium plus 05 TO LIS per
cent. of soda give brilliant green phosphor-
escence. 8. Sulphur and pure carbonate of
calcium plus traces of manganese or bismuth
give little or no phosphorescence. 4. Nix
ture as No 8, but with l per cent OF soda,
gives strong yellow on blue phosphorescence.
s. Mixture as No. 1, plus traces of iithia,
gives intense green phosphorescence. g..
Sulphur and oyster shells, etc., give red
phosphorescence Z. Mixture as No. l, plus
traces Of rubidium, gives red phosphores-
cence. S. Sulphur and pure carbonate of
strontium give very faint blush green phos-
phorescence. 9. Sulphur ndpure carbonate
of strontium plus soda gives bright green

Tea in France.

Tea is SO little an article of necessity in
France that the total consumption in 1855
for 80, 900, 600 of inhabitants was only little
over 1905, 900 pounds, the greater part of
which was probably consumed by English.
American and Russian visitors and residents
The average per head of the population was
1874 grammes, or less than half an ounce.
The use Of tea, instead of increasing, is di-
minishing, as the average per head was 14]]S
grammes in 1856 and 1887 Coffee, on ths
other hand, increases in favor, and the con-
sumption has more than quadrupled since
1871. and nearly doubled since 1851. 1t
reached its maximum of 1876 COG, 900 pounds

A CLERICAL ROW.

PALESTINE, Tex, Sept. 24.-The men,
bers of the colored churches here are highly
wrought up over the recent elimination
of long standing personal controversy be-
tween the Rev Nathan Still, Of the colored
Methodist church. and the Rev. Z. III.
Boyd, of the coiored Baptist church. For
several years past Still has been separated
from his wife, Louisa Still, and divorce
proceedings are now pending il the dis
trict court. During the period Of separa-
ton Still, so Boyd says, by means OF let
tiers and in conversation in church circles,
has accused the Rev. Boyd of being the
author of his domestic infelicity. About
ten DAYS ago Still called on County At
torney Ewing and deposited with him an
unsworn document, signed by one Bette
Brown, of Huntsville, in which
she made damaging statements in
regard to Boyd and Mrs. Still.
This document was forwarded to County
Attorney Brown, at Huntsville, who, after
investigation, returned it with the State
ment that Mrs. Bette Brown had pro-
nounced it a forgery, knew nothing about
it or the facts it contained. and, in fact,
was illiterate and unable to write. Upon
this the Rev. Mr.. Boyd made an affidavit
against the Rev. Mr.. Still. charging him
with circulating libel. The latter was
arrested Saturday evening. He waived
examination today and was placed under
bond to await his trial at the October
term of the county court. Boyd's
church has preferred charges against him,
but the investigation is delayed until the
result of Stills trial is known. Both the
parties are men of note in colored church
circles throughout the state. Still mas not
made his bond, but as he has expressed his
Intention of going after scalps as soon as
he is released, other developments in the

where 100, 900 people were seated on the
night of the sham naval battle, was moved

roadbed of the railway at the foot of the
hill the whole side of the bluff would
have slipped off into the lake carrying the
people with it. The ground at the bottom
of the hill is bulged and 1T the top there is
a deep fissure where the sod and earth
have been torn apart. Before the seats

time of the flood the whole edition which

before the flood, as well as special record
of those who were lost. The number of
drowned is put at 800 and that is con-
sidered close estimate, it being impossible
to obtain the exact figures. OF the ninety
five saloons and liquor dealers in the flood
ed district all but six were completely
wiped out and in those remaining the
stock was destroyed, so that there was in
fact total destruction by water.

KANSAS CITY, NO., Sept. 24-Charles
Michaux, the abstractor, left here week
before last for Brussels to settle up an
estate that had been left him, so he said to
his friends before his departure. Last
week dispatch was received here from
New York to the effect that Michaux had
arrived there and was acting
strangely, and had appealed to the
detectives for protection, saying that his
life was threatened. Later information is
that after the detectives had put him
aboard the steamer Pennland, he expressed
himself as confident that he would be
robbed and murdered if left without police
protection and at once ordered his baggage
taken off the ship. and he went back to
the city. He then announced that he was
coming back to Kansas City.
MichauX has an Office in the New York
Life Insurance company's building and
his clerk and amenueDsis both asserted
positively this morning that he had sailed
for Brussels. The clerk ridicuied the idea
that Michaux was out of his mind. He has
wife and several children in this city.
