AVOID AFFECTATION.
Real Homage Is Due to Truth and Not to
Polite HYpOcriNies.

Ioute bypocrisies.
There are sayings which reflect
somewhat on humanity, such as: mo
man is a hero to his valet" FAM
liarity breeds contempt" distance
lends enchantment to the view" etc.
The purport of these and other
women carry on a sort of masquerade,
and that when the masks are removed
and close inspection possible, it is
seen that all is not gold that glitters.
The Frenchman who was asked why
he did not marry the lady at whose
house he called SO often, replied;
Marry her! Why. where then should
! spend my eveningsp" And so hus-
bands and wives who have been made
such by the illusions of social inter-
course have some singular enlighten.
ment when the illusions fade under
the cold touch of daily contact.
But If people could ever abjure
Alterations and be honest. there would
be a great diminution of disappoint-
ments. The reason why so many fail
under close inspection is that they can
not keep up always their little the
atrical business, apd those who have
been deceived regard them as frauds.
Society largely encourages number
less dece,ts, but without good reason.
The natural and sincere person in
variably carries off the honors where
there is any thing like fair chance.
Polite hypocrisies have "a conventional
standing, but the real homage is given
to truth.
In the business world, where men
deal with one another, it is dangerous
to be sharper" and in the social
world the counterfeits who are ever
lastingly protesting to be what they
are not, and acting parts foreign to
their nature, ought to be ridiculed out
of their incessant humbuggery.
The familiarity of frank and genuine
bearing will not breed contempt
amongst genuine people-the only
ones whose opinion is worth any
thing; and no right man will pose as a
hero to his valet That is not the
relation between them, and if the
valet holds him in disdain there is a
flaw somewhere in his character and
department.
Plainly speaking. those who can not
stand close inspection are radically
wrong somewhere. 1t needs no artili-
cial perspective for the average decent
man or woman to pass muster.-Pitts-

shREWD ADVERTISERS.

Readers OF the newspapers OF the day
cannot fail to he impressed with the fact
that the modern advertiser is progressive
He is compelled TO be, else competitors
more active in the invention OF new ad-
vertising devices, will outstrip him in
public favor.
The value Of printers ink judciousy
and scientifically employed cannot be
overestimatea it is the medium where
by meritorious discovery is raised from
local fame to position in the public es-
TEEN. Hence the columns Of the news
papers are daily used by hosts of adver-
tisers and in the competition which is in
dulged in to attain the desired end, the
reader is oftentimes amused.
The greatest of American advertisers,
and it may as well be said in the world,
is II. ii. Warner OF Rochester, n. Y,
whose name has been made everywhere
familiar in connection with Warner &
Safe Cure, widely advertised because OF
its merit in the prevention and cure OF
kidney diseases
By printers ink this great discovery
has achieved worldwide popularity
and thousands feel grateful for the
knowledge thus acquired OF this greatest
of modern remedies.
Furthermore, the public has been
taught that disorders Of the lungs, brain

regarded and treated by the profession a,

The advertising methods employed by
this greatest OF advertisers are invariably

posed to be such, there is nevertheless
no time lost since useful information il

How = Young Prince discovered That His
Wit Was Not Appreciated.
Officers in the German army must al
ways be arrayed in uniform. even when
they are on leave, unless a special per-
mission has been granted to dispense
with the garb, and this is favor sell
dom to be obtained. The Emperor has
recently issued an order. however,
allowing them to dress as they please
when hunting, shooting or mount
aineering."
1t lately struck Prince Frederick OF
Lippe, who is an officer Of Hussars,
that the sport of fishing must have
been forgotten when this order was
drawn up, SO he thought it would be a
good joke to write formal letter to
the War Office to announce that he
was going out from Dantzig for a
couple OF days TRAVELLING in the Baltic
and asking whether it was necessary
that he should wear his uniform DUR
ing the trip, as he had observed that a
dispensation was allowed only when
officers were shooting, hunting or
mountaineering.
The Berlin War Office does not APP
preciate jests OF any kind, and the
answer to the Princes inquiry was a
telegraphic order to his Colonel, d.
recting him to place his Highness
under arrest for several days.-Londor

A Daily Struggle Against Fat.

Lillian Russell is the victim of her
own beauty, says the New York World,
and the dread of getting fat keeps her
as miserable as the humblest chorus
girl in the Casino company. She can't
eat any sort OF sweetmeats, cakeo or pas
try. Every vegetable is denied her
that grows under ground; no wine is
allowed to pass her lips; meat is limit
ed to n meal a day, and between the
foods that she dare not eat and does
not care to eat her bin of fare is con
fined to bread and butter, lemons and
lettuce.
Every day she is compelled to walk
ten miles, and in this hot weather the
exercise is far from agreeable. She
dresses in blue flannel, wears cork
colored shoes, q straw hat with a moist
sponge basted in the crown, and car
ries a aouble-lined umbrella. AS the
object of this exercise is to keep her
flesh down, she never fails to weigh
herself before starting out, so that she
knows exactly what reduction is neces-
sary. A part Of her outfit consists of
long strips of white flannel which are
coiled about her body spirally and laid
double where the flesh is too abundant.
In this snug wooden suit the only Lii
liam walks until she is a rich rose color
and dripping with perspiration, when
she is rubbed down with alcohol, re-
freshed with cold bullion and put to
bed. On her toilet as much care and
money are spent as if she We're q prin-
cess. Every day she receives the visits
OF a hair-dresser, manicure and pedi-
cure, and a bathing mistress prepares
her vapor baths.

THE AI'JA!ti.
EeC Notes.

~
THE apiarist who locates his hives or
near where there are nothing but large
tall trees will have considerable trouble
hiving natural swarms. Some parties
have lost nearly every new swarm in such
localities.
BEEKEEPERs who have been somewhat
discouraged during the past season now
see that it pays to stick. The man with
nc grit missed it, as usual, by abandoning
the business at the wrong time. Bee
keeping is fully as renumerative and
more interesting than most of the lines
of business requiring the same capital
and efforts.
The increased trade highly pleased US
each of the past seasons, but. after pre-
pairing an unusually large stock with the
determination Of not getting behind
with orders, imagine our astouishment
when the demand run up to over 100,G0t
sections per week right along and other
goods in proportion. Howeverwe learn
that we handled the great rush of orders
quite satisfactorily. While our retail.
trade is SO extensive we also supply +;
much larger number of dealers than evel
before.
THE larger amount of honey they con.
tain the greater the danger of the combs
breaking down from intense heat. Ihj
bees often leave the interior of the hivt
almost entirely and cluster outside, az
much to save their combs from bein.

with the proper penalties for the infrac-
ton thereof, requiring all cheese made
from milk from which any portion of
the cream has been taken to be branded
MS skim cheese, and to be sold as such,
Hords DairDman says:
4The State of Wisconsin already has
such q law, on its statute book; and we
think that cheese makers have pretty
generally provided themselves with
brands, to enable them to obey the law;
but we are told, and have no doubt of
its truth, that when q box with the skim
cheese brand on it has left the State.
that before it is put upon the market in
other States thut the brand is scraped
| off.
"Ifthe law wns National it would be a
protection to retail dealers who buy of
jobbers; but protection to consumers IS
what is needed; and to get that, We see
but one way aside from letting every
body Judge of cheese rs they do of
cloth, learn to give correct Judgment or
suffer; unless it be to compel the dealer
to put the article in q wrapper thnt
guarantees quality; have a legal stand
ard for the fat, the chief valuable ele-
m ent in it; the same as some States and
cities have for milk, and then subject
the article sold to test, the same as is
done with salt, milk, or kerosene oil.
IF we touch this business Mt all, SO MS
to try toshield consumers against fraud,
we opine we shall have to go to the core
of the matter, and have Dairy and Food
Commissioners who will go Tor the
thieves with very sharp legal sticks"
The interests of each State are so de-
pendent upon those of each OF the
others and all are so closely associated
and interested in each other, that it
seems almost useless to try to make any
law that is of real benefit or help unless
it is made National. And why should it
not be so? Are we not q sisterhood or
family of States? What is for the
greatest good to all ought to be what
each should seek. We favor National
legislation in this skim cheese" bust
ness, MS in the matter of farmers insti-
tutes and all kindred subjects.

MI. Blaine rs a Disappointment.

The heat of dog days is not enough
to keep the enemies of Mr.. Blaine
quiet. They have so long made n bust
hess of pursuing him with malice that
they follow him through heat and cold,
at home or abroad, and a little thing
like the weather in no wise affects the
ardor of their pursuit.
There is no doubt that one of the
greatest disappointments of the season
is the disappointment which Mr.. Blaine
has been to the Democrats. He has
been everything that they hoped he
would not be, and nothing that they
expected he would be. They tried to
make the country believe that the
country would have to 90 to war in
ninety days if Mr.. Blaine entered the
Cabinet. They tried to make them
selves believe that he and President
Harrison would never agree, and that
a large-sized family row would be the
result. But they didn't succeed in
either case.
Mr.. Blaine has very unkindly re-
fused to plunge the nation into war to
accommodate them, or to have a TOW
with the President, so that they might
not be disappointed. His wise and
prudent administration of state affairs
has already won for the country more
honor and prestige at home and abroad
than it received during all of the pre-
ceding administrations.
1t is an unmitigated. source of a n
noyance to the Democrats that Mr..
Blaine is proving such a conspicuous
success in the department where the
pride of the Democrats, MI. Bayard,
had made such q conspicuous failure.
After tangling up the foreign relations
OF the Government so that they were
not only strained but twisted, Mr..
Bayard retired from office and left the
snarl as a legacy for his successor.
Mr.. Blaine took charge and pro,
ceeded to untangle the snarl so beauti
fully that he excited the admiration OF
the whole country. The Samoan
trouble was disposed of with %neatnes.
and dispatch, after having compro
missed the honor Of the republic FOL
more than a year under Democrat,
rule. The foreign relations of tli-
country We're broughtinto harmony ani
goodwill, and the country has hat
daily evidence that q statesman, trict
and experienced, was i'll charge Of the
State Department.
So it can be expected that by indi
rect as we'll as direct means thew vii
try in every way to drive him out o
public life. But Mr.. Blaine is to,
much accustomed to Democratic an,
mugwump malignitv to be troubled b,
it. He will go on ~serenely, placing hi
great talents at the service of hi
country and his party, and disappoint
ing the Democrats still more. That i
n of the compensations of the situa
tion.-Des Moines Register.
