HIS PAPER WAS READ BY SOME
BODY.

Years ago, when Henry Grady was
struggling to bring the Rome Com
mcrcial into front ranks, says the
Rome (Ga.) Tribune, he called one
day and asked the Rounsa vile
Brothers for an advertisements ].
w. Rounsavillc replied: why,
Grady, nobody reads your paper; it
is no use to advertise i'll it." A hap
Ply thought suggested itself to Mr..
Grady. He went to his Office and
wrote the following advertisement,
which appeared next morning in the
Commercial: "Wanted, fifty cats
Liberal price for the same. Apply to
the ROunSavillc Brothers" Well,
the picture that presented itself at
ROunSaville's corner next morning
beggars description. Boys OF all
ages and sizes-boys of all tints from
the fair-haired youth to the sable
Ethiopian-bare-fOot boys and rag
ged boys, red-headed boys, freckled-
faced boys-town boys and country
boys-boys from all parts of Floyd
county blocked up the sidewalks,
dOorways and street with bags full
of cats-cats of every description,
name and Order-house cats, yard
cats-barn cats, church cats-fat
cats and lean cats-hOnest cats and
thievish cats Well, to make long
story short, the Rounsavilles told
Mr. Grady to reserve a column for
their advertisement as long as his
paper continued; and that was just
what Grady wanted.

SCIENCE AND PRACTICE.

\ college graduate once came to
me with figures from textbooks,
showing how many pounds of al
buminoids and Carbohydrates Il COW
requires each twentv-four hours,
how much of these Is contained in a
ton of fodder, how many tons could
be grown per acre, what the cost
would be and what great profit
would come from milk raised on
scientific principles. His plan was
scientific as far as 1T went, but I'M

figured on the abstract weight and
strength of materials, and made no
allowance for friction | asked what
allowance ne had made for bad seas
ons. late springs, severe drouth, long
storms, killing frosts; bad seed, mis-
haps among his COWS, poor pur-
chases, epidemic, abortion, or acci-
dents. He had made none, and after
considering my questions he figured
again. The result was, he concluded
he could make money more surely in
some other way No college can
ever teach a boy how to buy a cow
or manage hired men. Scientific
farming is as much 'bOsh" as is
scientific navigation, the principles
of which are gained from books, but

this kind of scientific knowledge all
lost ?-[ New York Tribune.

Life Insurance on
Business Principles

The management of the National Life In
enviable distinction for its ingenuity i'll
originating plans of insurance. This
pany's policies have always appealed to a
particularly well-informed class of applicants.
In addition to the bonds which it disposes of
which undoubtedly is one of the most desi-
rabe of insurance contracts. 1T is claimed
for it that it provides for any emergency that
may arise.
This is what the company contracts to do,
through the medium of this policy: 1t guar
antees annual cash value which after
certain period is in excess of all premiums
paid it guarantees paid-up policy for such
a the cash value will purchase,
act amount being specified in the contract at
the time of issue, and it guarantees extended
insurance for the full amount of policy for so
long time the cash value will pay for.
incidentally the policy will protect its holder
against adversely in business and also make
an absolute provision in case of death for
wife, children, parents or creditors. In these
days of low interest and unsafe investment,
it is safe and desirable investment, guaran-
teeing that certain amount of money will
be accumulated in a specified time, which the
purchaser can use a any age when he is more
likely to be dependent upon others than
others upon him. Finally, the officers of the
National Life say that under this policy you
know exactly what you have, and if you
need your money more than insurance you
get it. Under this policy you have in
vestment, protection, and the of your
capital"

MT. WASHINGTON IN SUMNER.

This is nv fourteenth consecutive
summer on Mount Washington, a
longer term than has been spent here
bv anv other person. | have seen
many changes and a great variety
| of conditions within the time |
have seen snow and frost in every
| month of the summer season. |
have experienced the most frightful
of summer gales, the fall of two feet
of water in a single month, a heavy
snow-storm in August, turning the
summit in appearance INTO a mid
winter scene, and Velocity OF wind
reaching to % miles an hour, as re-
corded by the usually conservative
Signal Station thermometer; | have
been once Frustrated by a stroke of
lightning as it came into the Old TIP
Top House; and yet | have expert
enced more real pleasure amid these
wild and unusual conditions than 1t
any place in the lower world. The
rare and bracing air has been an in
MIGRATING tonic so complete that
Mount Washington should be known
as much for its healthgiving quail
ties as for its great altitude and its
advantages as an observatory for
noVelty-loving tourists. 1t might be
turned into great Sana forum with
the best of results to q certain class
of invalids. An overworked brain,
OverwOrkcd by too long mental
strain, could not but find relief here
within a few days. After 4 day or
two, as soon as the conditions and
surroundings haveceased to be novel,
there comes the most restful sleep en-
lOyed since untaxed childhood, and
Immediately follow increased physi-
cal strength and a strong appetite
and perfect digestion. | have found
that even the frequent fogs and mois-
ture have brought no drawbacks to
gaining health. 1t is more like a sea
voyage than can be experienced on
land at any other place that | ever
knew. Stiffened joints timber up,
and the suppleness of youth comes
back again. Although it is seventy
miles from the sea-coast, the air is
often laden with a moisture that is
precisely like that experienced in a
voyage from New York to Liverpool.
When the wind blows from the east,
you can fairly scent the salt air.
though greatly modified by mix turc
with that which comes from the
west and over great forests and open
and cultivated fields. | plead thus
positively for this summit as a
health-giving place that others may
come here and get the good that |

two spent here would bring greater
relief to wcaried workers than could

An Emperor Doing Guard Duty.

"What will the German Emperor do
nextW is now the general cry. He has
done so many startling things already,
and takes such evident delight in making
mems tongues wag. that nobody would
be much surprised if he were to propose
a congress for universal disarmament
Men have already become convinced that
he is sincerely religious, and that he has
no ambition for bloodshed A little time
ago, wishing to realize the sensations of
soldier on guard, he put himself on
duty for twenty four hours in an extern
ported guard room within his own gar
den at Potsdam, and stood sentry during
four spells of two hours each during that
time. He wore the uniform of private
soldier, carried rife, and ate of the
soldiers ordinary. But. unlike Peter the
Great, who did THESE things often enough
in real earnest-mixing with the soldiers
and lying down beside William
II. took his little diversion all alone No
officer came to relieve him, and, in fact,
only one or two persons Of his encourage
were aware of what he was doing until
he had done it. When the whole thing
was over he was asked how he had en-
joyed standing sentry at night, and he
answered: II was thinking all the time

Queer Facts About Money.

How many people know how much
there is in this country of what people
call 'money," how much in gold and
silver coin, and how much in greenbacks
and other paper currency bearing the
stamp of the United States Government
Very few. Inquiry at the Treasury De-
partment discovers the fact that there is,
all told, Just little over two billions, OF
between $50 and $40 apiece for every
man, woman and child in the United
States. OF this little over ne-hah is
in gold and silver coin, and little less
than one-half in paper of various kinds.
OF the metal money about two thirds are
in gold and one-third in silver. Of the
paper about one third is in Z. S. notes
or greenbacks, onc-fourth in silver GER
tificates, one-sixth in gold certificates,
one-tifth in national bank notes, and the
remainder in various denominations.
But the $1,000, 000,0 of United
States currency are not all in circulation
among the people. More than one third
is locked up in the Treasury building,
and that is the normal state of things.
One-half of all the gold and three fourth
of all the silver is locked up in the Treas
ury. The circulating medium in use
among the people is threefourths paper,
the largest volume being in greenbacks,
with silver certificates next, then national
bank notes, then gold certificates. But
we would not be doing gold justice if
we did not say that there was more gold
in circulation than any one kind of paper
What a disproportioa between the
amount of wealth and the amount of
money in the United States! All the
money in the country including what is
locked up in the Treasury, would not be
sufficient TO buy the real estate and the
personal property in the city of Wash
ington.
The largest greenback extant is worth
$40, 900, and there is only one such note
in existence. OF $4,000 notes there are
seven; and when you cone down to the
ordinary every -day $1,000 note, there's
millions in it, Washington Critic.

About ChlOrOforming.

The statement that when a handker-
chief is thrown over a mans head he i'm
mediately goes into trance, is interest
ing and raises curious point. There
are many lawyers who are wont to declare
that the evidence given from time to time
at criminal trials leaves no doubt that
there exists some drug which, when
spread upon a cloth and placed over the
nose and mouth, Immediately produces
Inconsistencies. On the other hand,
chemists assert that the thing is an i'm
possibility, and that no such composition
has ever been discovered. Chloroform
and the other recognized anesthetics re-
quire at least three distinct inhalations to
produce the loss of sensation. To recon
Gle this conflict of testimony seems I'M.
possible, unless, indeed, we adopt the
sensational theory that some camorra
among the criminal classes is in posses
sion Of trade secret as yet unknown to
science. Probably, however, this notion
is too fantastic, and we should rather in
cline to the supposition that the imme-
diate loss of consciousness is due to some
thing comparable to mesmeric action.
DR.. Charcot tells US that one of the WAYS
of instantaneously inducing the mesmeric
sleep is to produce violent sensation of
surprise in the patient by the sheck of
sudden noise or the flashing of bright
light. Is it not possible that totally I'M
expected attack, as in the case quoted,
mesmerizes the victim for the moment,
and that then the chloroform on the
handkerchief begins to produce slower
form of stupefaction2 The matter is one
which DR.. Charcot, who pays special at
tention to hypnotism in its relation to
fore 1sie medicine, might think worth in
vestigating -lSDectdt0r.

BARRIE, Ont-The most disastrous food
that ever visited this town took place in con.
sequence ottwo days heavy rain. The main
drain caved in and was, consequently of no
use in carrying away the tremendous flow
that came down from the hills along the roads
like immense rivers, All the streets in the
central portion OF the town were completely
submerged, the principal business thorough
fares presented an awful sight. The water
was fully two feet deep, and many stores were
flooded. The streets in the vicinity Of Five
Points are washed away to depth of from
six to eight feet. The ehasm at present is
fully fifty feet wide. The vast body of water
which rushed down carried everything in its
path to the bay. The railway track is washed
away and traffic is blocked. A number OF
freight cars were washed into the bay. The
rainfall was phenomenal.
A cloudburst occurred few miles from
Brooklyn which caused the creek which runs
through that village to assume the proper.
tons of mighty river and great amount
Of property was destroyed and number OF
buildings carried away. Six bridges aud the
roads were washed out in all directions Ow.
ing TO the track being washed AWAY railway
communication with the village is uninterrupted
The amount Of damage TO roads and bridges
in Brooklyn Township is placed at $4,000
and that is only part Of the whole loss.
