Hog and Homlny.

There are but few subjects to which
we warm more kindly than hog and
homiuy. 1t once had its habitat in
this section; in fact il is almost cosmo.
politan, it can exist in every cline,
but the true home of hog and hominy
is in this delightful region. Before
the war, in those good old days when
peace and plenty cheercd the laboring
swain in this God favored cline, the
hog received distinguished attention.
The glorious reports of the maturing
large corn crop of this section con.

Varzin.

The estate Of Varzin, which former.
ly belonged 10 Count BlumCnthal, is
the finest in Pomcrauin. Prince Bis.
mlrck owns only half Of the original
Blumenthal property, the other half
having been purchased by the Prince
Of Hohenzollern -Sigmaringcn.
The schloSs Of Varzin isa large plain
house Of two stories, with a courtyard
and two projecting wings, in which
are the kitchen and Offices. The prin.
cipal rooms look out on a vast lawn,
and on this side of the lawn there is a
wide veranda. The estate extends To
22. 900 acres, of which 1900 are GOV.
cred with some Of the finest forest in
Germany, principally oak and beech.
The prince has a home farm Of 400
acres. and the remainder Of the prop.
erty is let in large farms, averaging
700 acres. All the woods are in hand,
and Prince Bismarck has several large
mills IN the River Wiper, which
runs through the estate. He has
greatly improved and developed this
property, and his forests furnish most
of the wooden pavements IN the streets
Of Berlin. The country all around
Varzin is very picturesque, and there
are beautiful walks and drives through
the woods for many miles IN every di-
rection. The estate was given 10
Prince Bismarck by the late Emperor
William in G G.-London World.

A Century OF Progress.

Only a century ago charcoal iron
was produced TO the extent OF about
$4,000 tons yearly; twenty years later
the product was but $4,000 tons. Even
Great Britain in 1888 produced only
$500 tons-not so much as some fur
naces in the United States now turn
out yearly. The manufacture of steel
was just beginning in the States;
twenty years later only 9l7 tons were
produced in the country. The c~oarsest
pig iron then cos, about us much as
steel rails do now. Last year the
American product of pig iron was
$3.50, 739 tons. and the highest price OF

output OF steel rails was in round
numbers l.3je. 900, and the best price

contract for the masonry of the new
First M. E. church to Welsh & Edwards,
with the selection of the kind of material
left with the building committee. The
bids for carpentry, plumbing. roofing,
ETC., were rejected, and the com mittee
was authorized to invite new bids for all
work outside the masonry, to be done
under one general contract.
The instructions to the building COM
mittee were to let the contract, and push
the work as rapidly as possible. The
church furnishes the stone for the cellar,

Advertising Pays.

The experience of every successful
merchant demonstrates that liberal ad
vertising is the main element of success.
1t is much better to retail 81 900 worth
of goods per day at 10 per cent. profit,
than it is to sell 800 worth at % per
cent profit. Liberal advertising of low
prices greatly increases the number of
customers. and while the profits are
smaller on the goods, the aggregate
profits of the day are much larger than
the slower going merchants realize. Any
person can demonstrate the truth of this
by going into the stores and examining
goods and prices, and seeing the largely
increased sales of the largest advertisers.
They know full well that people who are
hunting bargains will readily take the
hint from judiciously wprded adver-
tisement Their business shows the
truth of the aphorism, advertising
