venues OF the cave will be largely increas-
ed. IL should b. also mentioned in this
connection that all the new towns that are
now building up in the valley Of Virginia,
must necessarily aid in swelling the re-
venues of the Luray cave and inn. The
company has access to several mountain

Finally. From what he has seen and
heard Of this property, the writer feels per.
fectly satisfied that, taking 1t all in all, no
similar enterpris. ever started in this State
has offered superior inducements to in
yestors, nor surer prospect OF reaping a
rich harvest of profits.

4 town and mining camp needs ad- vertising tc attract capital and people as much as any business i'll the world needs advertising to attract customers, and the most serviceable and effective way to advertise t is to give liberal support to the local paper, which will enable it to go to the expei!se necessary to issue a creditable sheet, There is nothing can equal its value. It bears a weekly greeting to it's exchanges, and its news of value is more widely circu- lated by the metropolitan press. ii the community has not the intelligence and energy to give support which will enable it to become valuable journal, it is seen to represent them in what il lacks.

A firm of chemists ill Birmingham,
 Eng, placed upon all poisons sold by them directions as to the antidote which should be applied in case where the poisons are taken accidentally or inten- tionally by human beings. An English chemical journal gives m instance where this precaution was the means of saving life, A woman poisoned herself and then informed her husband that "she had done it." A medical man was at once sent for, but in all proba- bility the women would have been dead before he arrived but for the fact that her husband chanced to read on the label which accompanied the poison the instructions Give mixture of chalk and water, milk and magnesia or car. bonate of soda and water until medica

A good advertisement in live paper is n sign of responsibility; it carries with it certain amount of confidence, for it bears on its face the stamp of prosperity, and prosperity means quick sales, and quick sales means buying for cash and giving your customers the sd- vantage.

Exploration Of Alaska.

The proposition for thorough ex- ploration of Alaska, which is now be- fore Congress, will serve to remind the country that we are but little better acquainted with that region than we were twenty-three years ago when ii came into our possession. This will all be changed if the scheme now before the Military Committee of the House of Representatives take practical shape. In extent and value of it's fur, timber and minerals, especially in the two former, it has 10 rival anywhere, while in the latter particular its importance Is beginning to be understood all over the world. Gold is found in several places, and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of the metal is being mined every year. In none of these enterprises, though, can commence ment be actually said to have been made up to this time. Nobody now doubts that time will come in the mean fsturn when Alaska will add to the ma tional wealth q slli.i several times larger than the s7, 200, 900 which it origi- nally cost.
