Mr.. Wauamaker's Testimony .

There is too much impartial testi-
mony as to the value of advertising
to allow of the impeachment Of the
value of newspapers advice ON the
subject.
The work Of John Wanamaker Of
Philadelphia ought to have weight
with meu engaged in mercantile bust
ness. He says: 81 spend $4,000 a
week in advertise, &, aud l pay a
skillful mana former newspaper
editor, and a good one-SlU0O u
month to do i. for me. | make money
by it. Advertising is the leverage
with which this store las been raised
up. do not see how any large and
successful retail business can be done
without liberal advertising. l adver
,ise in every issue. except Sunday, OF
every daily paper in Ph'ladelpma
Continuous advertising, like conlin-
uous work, is the most effective"
Now, what has been the experience
of this man, to make him SO apprecla
tive of the value Of printers ink
Mr.. Wanamaker began life without I
cent to his name. His father was
bricklayer and he himself went int
a clothing store as clerk when h
was ii years old. From that humbl
beginning he worked himself up b.
; dint of energy and enterprise unit
now he is proprietor of what is prob
ably the largest retail store in IN
United States.--Waterbury Republ

Mon Who hive Climbed.

General Manager Stone, of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, vas once a ma
chinist, and George Alexander, of the
same line, a brakeman. A. N. Towne,
general manager Of the Southern Pacific
system, started onthe same round of the
ladder as did Alexander. General Super
intendent Clark, of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul, used to drive an
engine. A. @. Bird, general freight
agent of the same line, was originally n
track hand, and j.. b. Mol, one OF the
st. Paul's division superintendent, when
he came over from Germany twenty-six
years ago was glad to get work us a track
laborer.
Notso very many years ago the telegraph
operator at Delphi, Ind, was a young
man named Wade. He gave his whole
time and attention to a study of the rail
road business, and one day he made a
suggestion to the general manager which
that gentleman considered a good one.
He placed the young man in a more re-
sponsible position, and the former tele-
graph operator has been pushing for
ward ever since. Now he is general SUI
p~erintendent of the whole Wabash sys-
tenn, and his salary Is fully In keeping
with his responsibility.-New York Let

Doubt Got square with His Enemy.
Several years ago, when John VI.
Thurston was stumping Nebraska in
an important campaign, he included
its extreme western part, hen n decid-
eddy wild region, in his circuit. He
was proceeding by stage to Sidney
station TO change horses. While this
important operation was going on a
large, determined looking man whose
most conspicuous article of cloth
ing was a big revolver approached
casionally gTancing nervously at a
away, with a large sign of "~postoffice'
ton. That gentleman made himself
known and the stranger said:

In spite of the decision of the United
States court that mail placed or the top
of letter boxes is not in the care of the
postal authorities, people continue to
pile UP letters and papers on top of the
collection boxes with the utmost conf
dence that they are entirely safe in do
ing SO. l have seen very valuable pack
ages put on the big boxes down town
and left until the wagon came along. If
you will notice, however, you will SEQ
that most of these big collection boxes
are ut the junction of two police beats,
or at least very near it, and throughout
the entire day a policeman has his eye
on the box. So, in fact, it is not risky
to leave mail lying on the top, even if it
is not protected by the government

WONDERS OF A GREAT RAILROAD.


Some Interesting Facts Concerning the
Railway System of England.
The principal railroad lines of Eng
land are the London and Northwestern,
the Midland, the Great Northern, the
Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln, the
Northeastern, the Southeastern the Great
Western, the Great Eastern, the Brigh-
ton and South Coast and the London,
Chatham and Dover, with their associated
branches
OF these perhaps the greatest is the
London and Northwestern. The North
western territory extends from London
to Carlisle on the north border, and
from Cambridge in the east to Swansea
and Hollyhead on the west
Over GO, 1000 employees receive pay from
this corporation, and the revenue from
various sources amounts to upward of
e10, 000, 900 a year.
At Crewe, the headquarters of the sys-
tenn, over $500 engines receive attention
every day. The railroad works in this
town are of every character, for the
Northwestern is the proprietor of a canal
MS well as a railroad, and in the works
are made bridges and boats, pumps,
chains, cars-in short, everything n rail-
road may need, down to artificial arms
and legs for the benefit of such employees
as may be injured.
The Northwestern makes its own rails
and builds its own engines, which, by
tho way, are painted black, for the rea-
son that several parts of the engines
which by other roads are made of
wrought iron and polished are by the
Northwestern made of cast iron and
painted.
The Northwestern has e., 600, 900 in
vested in locomotives, which put a CIR
die round the earth every fou hours,
and with such care is the road managed
that only once in every alternate trip
round the world is there ven s. small a
mishap as the loosening of a bolt.
This road owns, among other engines,
the famous Cornwall" one of the oldest
engines in the world. 1t was exhibited
in the great exposition of 1851, is still
in active service, and with its s-foot
o inch wheels forms a curious contrast
TO the "Nipper," n little switch engine,
one of the many that shift the cars to
and fro in the company's yards.
nee n every five days an old engine
is withdrawn, to be replaced by one
brand new, and among other locomo-
tives III more than 100 compound en-
gines which economize in fuel some five
or six pounds to the mile; not much, to
be sure, but an item with a road whose
engines run 40, 00O, 900 miles per annum,
with an annual coal bill of e300, 000.
The other railroads in England SO
closely resemble in their main features
the Northwestern and the Midland as
not to merit particular description.
Among the odd items of expense in
CURED by the Midland is that of the
meat for eight cats, who watch 500, 900
corn sacks, the property of the road, and
the holes which are eaten by the rats
which are not eaten by the cats are
darned by twelve women.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

A discovery of extreme archnlogi-
cal interest has been made upon the
Barton section of the Manchester ship
canal. While the eXcavators were at
work in what is known as the Salt
Eye" cutting, the steam navy brought
TO light n prehistoric canoe. 1t was
imbedded in the sand about twenty
five feet below the surface. With
some difficulty the canoe was removed
TO a shed in the vicinity of the engi-
neer's office and examined. II was
found to consist of a portion of an oak
tree roughly hewn and fashioned. In
length this relic Of a long past g is
10 feet s inches from end to end, with
n width of 2 feet 6 inches. Not
withstanding the lapse of centuries
the marks of the ak are distinctly Wis
IDLE in the interior of the canoe, the
width of the blade of the implement
used-whether of flint or iron-being
apparently about three inches.
1t is impossible to fix the precise pc
riod OF the canoe, but the circumstance
that it bears no trace of a nail or any
ironwork may perhaps aid the forma-
ton of al opinion on this point The
wood, particularly of the bottom, is
for the most part quite sound. A por-
ton of one side, however, which has
apparently been at some period more
exposed than the rest, has commenced
to crack.-Manchester Gng.) Chroni-

A Boston Cats Ride.

One of Boston's handsomest Maltese
eats arrived in this city this moor on
the - pa express via Springfield She
secured passage in a drawing room
car. or rather under it, Just before the
train left the Boston and Albany de-
pot in Boston, and came through in n
hurry. One of the porters on the
train noticed her seated cozily upon
the break beam of one of the trucks
just before the train started, but sup
posed she would jump off when the
car began to move On the contrary,
the cat fastened her claws into the
woodwork all the armer when the
train started, and during her ride of
l26 miles maintained her position I'M
disturbed by the whirlwind of sand
and gravel that would have smothered
an ordinary mortal. When the train
reached the city she was still in pos
session of her senses, and had become
so firmly attached to her new home
that the porter could scarcely pull her
off the truck. When he did she, how
ever, quickly ran back and took her
former seat on the truck, and it was
only when the baggage master again
pulled her Off and held herin his arms
till the train moved away that the
cultured cat could be persuaded to o
main in the capital city. She was not
in the least disturbed by her rapid
transit, and when Hackman Banning
placed her on the back seat of his hack
she immediately began to purr con
tentedly, and rode in great style to her
new home on Barber street, running
her claws down into the cushioned
seat and pulling slowly upon the cloth
In her musical peace of hind.-Hsrt-

The fac-simile telegraph, by which
manuscript, maps or pictures may be
transmitted, is q species of the auto
matte method in which the receiver is
actuated spontaneously with its trans
mitter. By Lenoir's method a picture
or map is outlined with insulating ink
upon the cylindrical surface of a rota-
ting drum, which revolves under n
point having a slow movement along
the axis of the cylinder, and thus the
conducting point goes over the cylin-
drical surface in q spiral path. The
electrical circuit will be broken by
every ink mark on the cylinder which
is in this path, and thereby CORE
spending marks are made in O spiral
line by an ink marker upon a drum
at the receiving end. To produce these
outlines it is only necessary that the
two drums be rotated in unison. This
system is of little utility, there being
no apparent demand for fac-simile
transmission, particularly Mt so great
an expense of speed, for it will be seen
that instead of making q character of
the alphabet by a very few separate
pulses, as is done by Morse, the num-
Der must be greatly increased. Many
dots become necessary TO show the
outlines OF the more complex char
acters-
The pantelegraph is an interesting
type of the fac-simile method. In this
form the movements of q pen in the
writer's hand produce corresponding
movements of a pen at the distant sta
ton, and thereby a fac-simile record.
