A WORD IN YOUR EAR.
How the Agent Can Sow the seed for n
Rich Harvest.


To the agent The WEEKLY Womb is one of
the dearest, If not the very dearest weekly
newspaper published in this country. The
cost of making a COPY is probably double
any other and it offers no extra discounts
to agents for large clubs, because it costs so
cents to make it, and this is the price to
every agent. large or small. Every agent
makes all the profit there is on the circula-
ton he secures. This profit becomes his
fixed income. He has the same commission
on all renewals as OH the original subscrip-
tiou, The subscriber he secures is his own.
The WORLD never takes him, and record of
over 60 per cent. renewals shows what a list
must be worth to an active agent.
To enable the agent to secure subscribers,
The WORLD accepts subscriptions for three
months on the Weekly and Semi-Weekly ed.
itions, pays the agent 20 per cent. on
them, and pays 20 per cent, on all renewals
he secures. This Is the time for the agent
to begin this work, that he may secure the
renewal later ANY one can spare quar-
ter. and after reading The World for the
next three months he will want to renew.
There may not be much money in short term
subscriptions now. but there will be later.
The WORLD publishes no campaign edi-
tions." 1t has no trial trips" 1t never
cuts rates, at any time or under any circum-
stances. The agent can depend upon it
making no offer to secure subscribers that
will interfere with his work.
The agent can make more money selling
The WORLD at 20 per cent. than selling
others at 40. The subscriber must pay the
same price, and he must be forced to take
the cheaper paper. He wants The WORLD,
and it will pay the agent to push The
WORLD. He can make more.

HOW TO SEND MONEY.
A Few Useful Hints for Everybody MS
Well as Agents.


There is no one transaction which is so
Important, yet so commonly mana ged with
carelessness, as the sending of money for
subscriptions or premiums. ThE Womb is
in constant receipt of letters stating that
money has been sent for some purpose and
that nothing further has been heard Of il.
In these cases the blame is invariably laid
upon The WORLD. whereas the sender of the
money can justly accuse no one but himself.
1t is a common practice to inclose silver
coin m letters to pay for subscription.
This is against the expressed wishes Of the
post-ofiiee authorities, tine repeated warm
ings OF The WOMB, and tie dictate of

How Every Woman May BE Tier Own
Pnperhnnger.
The bare white walls of the ordinary conn
try home are useful indeed, but no one can
claim any beauty for them. Many woman
has looked around her rooms in despair at
her inability to do anything to tone down
the blank hideousness of tho conventional
bare white walls. The millionaires had
their tapestries and velvet banRings and
the well-to-do their frescos and extensive
wall papers, but what could the farmers
wife DO with raperhangings in the hands of
monopoly that put what price il pleased
them on their goodsY She could and did do
| nothing,
But everything comes to those who wait,
and now the Trust is broken and cheap and
pretty wall paper is within the roach of the
scontest purse.
The WORLD has made an arrangement
with large manufacturer of wall paper to
have paper supplied in lots to its sub
scribers at the very smallest margin of
profit.
The paper will be put up and sold in lots
according to the size of the room to be
papered.
No. contains enough paper to furnish a
room 11x9xS, or 320 square feet in all
This is the ordinary small room.
No. will paper a medium-sized room of
14x11x9, or $50 square feet.
No. will paper large room of 1Sx14x9.
or 570 square feet,
Only these three sizes will be sent and no
deviation can be made. The bundles are
made mp to paper room ds though there ,rere
no doors on totndOtCs On Il, consequently this
leaves plenty of margin
With each order will be sent complete
and explicit instructions enabling any one to
prepare the wall. make the paste and hang
the paper as well as any workman can do il.
The paper is Of neat design with gold
background and can be furnished in n
variety Of patterns. The proper way TO do
is to send on cents with your address and
request for samples. When the samples
are received you can order what you want
from the number printed on the back of the
sample. lf you order for several rooms
give the number and size for each room
separately.
Prices are as followst
Lot No. 1, S1.75.
Lot No. 2. s2. 90.
Lot No. 3, So. 70.
These prices include border nine inches
deep. The paper will be sent by express at
the purchasers expense. No orders will be
received unless the subscriber has sent for
samples and selected the design and quality
to suit his taste. If none are satisfactory
he loses only tie cents speat in postage.

BY JAMES Burns.

The production of meat has also
advanced faster than population.
In 1880 the cattle of all kinds
were returned as $685. 33, and
the numbers as now estimated on
farms and ranches as 52,SO1, 9O7,
or SO PEE cent more. Excluding
cows, the increase Of other cattle,
which includes. the beeves, is
equivalent to about 40 per cent.
When beeTes are brought to ma

ratio of SUI siy as been greatly
increased since 1850 Our export
of beef has grown up in the past
thirteen years. and the export of
cattle has not only increased, but
its character has changed from the
shipment Of Texas OF Florida long
horns to Cuba to the export of fat
beeves to Europe, one of which
commands the price of five of the
original styles of Gulf coast cattle.
This difference represents not pre-
cisely the meat making capacity
of the cattle of 1850 and 1890 re-
spectively, but it suggests the
wide disparity between the ratio
of meat to numbers of cattle of the
two dates.
The following table of prices of
beeves in Chicago shows that the
present values are lower than in
any years since the export of beef
was inaugurated, with the sole ex-
ception of 1879. Prices incr e ased
till 1884, when they were highest,
and fell heavily in 1886, advancing
slightly in 1887, except as to the
extra grade, and recovering fur
Their in 1888, only to continue to
decline during the past two years:
