The disagreeable smell which per-
vaded the village Wednesday after
noon was caused by the leakage of
an oil tank at Ely's hoe factory in
Summervile The oil ran into Moose
river and thence into the Passump-
sic and the smell was so strong as to
be noticed at the Centre. The tank
is under ground and will be difficult
to repair.

The Boston & Maine corporation
since they acquired the Passumpsic
have been continually laying out
money i'll putting the road up in first

mind some improvements at the St.

Promises and Fnlfllment.

The merchant who advertises Il certain
line of goods rs a leader should always
make good his statements at the store
The reader who responds to n special an
nouncement of a bargain expects, upon
reaching the store, to see the goods of
which special mention was made A fail
ure on the part of any merchant to fully
substantia5e every statement made in his
advertisement is n mistake which will
surely cost him dearly. It pays to adver
tse leaders which are real bargains, p.o
vided the advertisers claims are fully
borne out by the facts. o
The merchant who advertises certain
'drive," and when asked to exhibit thes,
goods to the customer depreciates theil
quality and attempts to sell high priced ar
ticle Of the same line, makes mistake anc
damages his reputation for square dealing
Leaders which are not good enough tc
sell to customers are not good enough tt
advertise; and nothing should be adver-
tised which is not good value received
for the price demanded.

As to Value Received.

The idea used to be prevalent among a
certain class Of business men that spend
ing money for advertising amounted, in
effect, to throwing it away. There is little
question that there is more or less ground
for this belief in isolated cases, where the
advertiser does not take the proper means
for securing solid retlrns from his an
nouncements. The results secured in adj
vertising depend very largely upon the sa-
gacity and enterprise displayed by the mer-
chant in selecting his medium and prepar-
ing his announcements. A long and unin-
teresting "ad.," devoid of leading features
or attractive arrangement, cannot be ex-
pected to produce satisfactory results. An
advertisement appearing in paper in the
month of May, calling attention, with much
detail, to new stock Of lvinter goods, does
not impress the reader in way calculated
to bring results to the advertiser; or, if the
results come, they are not apt to be of the
kind desired
Merchants should change their announce
ments frequently, and each advertisement
should tell something in brief and point
ed way. And, above all things, it pays, in
advertising, to tell the simple, unvarnished
truth. Facts tell, and pay.

odd WAYS of Advertising.


A dry goods house in Brooklyn, n. Y,
niads d practice Of refunding the purchase
money to every hundredth customer.
Gongi went thu bell ut the cashiers desl,
as the lucky sale came in, and the money
was returned intact. The same house
laid towels end to end along several prom
ineiit tioroughfares, direct to the store,
with the result Of attracting considerable
attention. Another firm, in the silent
watches Of the night; painted large foot
prints on the streets leading from the
depots and ferries, all eouverging to their
entrance. This idea, by the way, suggested
the towel scheme. Both were fairly sue
cessful in causing the firms to be talked
about; but in conservative quarters s;,ch
radical methods would scarcely meet with
approval.
In another instance which we recall, one
member of Il firm sought an injunction
from the court t,J prevent his partner sell
ing goods below cost. Thsssamples sub
naittcd with invoice clearly proved the case
but the defendant obtained delay. The
novelty of the situation attracted the at
tentiou of the newspaper men, and the
matter found It's way into the press
Crowds floclsed to the scene Of action. and
the willy merchants quietly unloaded
When the case was called 10 trial the
plaintiff stated t. the court that an adjust
ment of the difficulty had been arrived at
and the case was at once dismissed.-Art

WastefuI Advertising.

Discriminating merchants long ago aban-
doned the circular and guttersnipe methods
of advertising. For the amount of hard
cash it takes to fairly circulate 5000 hand
bills you can place an attractive ad. in a
reputable and well circulated newspaper in
way to bring many times the returns
that can possibly come from the older and
nearly obsolete method of announcement.
People buy newspaper to read it; they
do not buy or want the guttersnipe, and
they don't read it. Not one person in ten
even glances at the dodger that is thrust
in his hand at the street corner before he
consigns it to the gutter. He only consents
to receive it at all out Of sympathy for the
poor fellow who is making more or less
honest effort to get rid of his armful OF
bills; and the one follow in ten who does
look at the dodger first sweeps the horizon
with his weather eye to see that no one OBJ
serves him reading the AFFAIR." An an
nouncement read in this way-or not at
all-isn't going to startle any one by the
magnitude of the returns

The Love OF Novelty and CHANGE.

The residents Of old Athens gained an
enduring fame from their never ending
search for ''son1e new thing" In this re-
spect Athens OF old does not seem to have
differed very wiCely from the average COM
munity of today.
People tire OF lfe's dull monotony, and
the fellow who comes along and gives them
something to talk and think about Is hailed
with delight, cvsn though he may some
times be laughed at.
If you can both interest and amuse peo-
pie, you can make money out of them. This
is calculating way of putting the case,
but it's a fact.
II you re u merchant. make your adver-
tisement different, in some respect, from
that of any other merchant who uses the
same medium. And change your adyer-
tisement frequently-the oftener the better.
The merchant who never allows the sGnu
ad. to appear twice in succession will find
TINT the labor of getting up new copy is
splendidly rewarded by the results

FoR SEVERAL Sunday mornings The
HERALD readers have missed from these
columns the familiar name of FANNIE B.
WARD, whose interesting letters of travel
have been feature of The SUNDAY HER
AID for several years past. Last spring
Mrs. WARD was Frustrated by la grippe
in Peru, and we suspect that one of the
fevers of the country also assailcd her; at
any rate, she was confined to her bed for
weary weeks, being able only to occasion
ally write brief line telling of her condi-
ton. Last week we received the crafty
ing news that she has so far recovered that
she will at once resume her letters for
the press and continue her journey
through the southern continent. She is at
present in Bolivia, at La Paz, from which
city we hope to have letter in time for
publication in next Sundays issue, or per
haps earlier. She writes that while she is
yet weak from the effects of the long
wrestle with fever, she feels equal to the
work in hand, aud hopes thers will be no
other break in her correspondence. We
make this explanation because of the
general disappointment over the non APP
pearance of Mrs. WARDS letters, and also
to inform the iady's many friends in this
city Of the cause of her long silence.

IT is published that writer, some little
time ago, sent an article to magazine, &C
companying his MS. with the following ex-
planatory note: 81 know that you probably
have several thousand articles on hand,
many of them by well-known writers, while
am entirely unknown. But venture to
hope that you will look at my article at
once, first because it is on fresh topic,
and is concisely put; secondly, because it
is not folded, but sent to you between two
pieces of pasteboard, and thirdly, because
1t is type written 1t is also said that the
article was promptly accepted and ap-
peared in two months, although the editor
had piles of manuscript, some of it having
been with him for a year, which he had
never read. Many writers for the press
would do well to gather pointers from the
young writer's note above.

The Care of the Hair.

Soap bark is splendid substitute for the
professional shampoo. To use it, buy five
cent package atany drug store, and, putting a
heaping teaspoonful in a bowl, pour two
quarts of boiling water on it, and when pleas
antly cool comb the hair from the face into
numerous little partings, and scrub each with
a shampoo brush well soaked with the decoc-
ton. In this way the scalp can be cleansed,
and lastly the head rinsed in clear. tepid
water, and dried gently.
The latter is imperative. To rub into a
tangle destroys the hair. 1t should be pressed
between the folds of towel, and then fam
ned. There should be no attempt at brushing
or combing until the hair is absolutely dry,
and then the process should begin at the bot
tom and work upward, the antipode of the
prevalent method, which bres and pulls
leach individual hair" inordinately.-Ch

A Colt That Joined a Herd of Deer.

William Nichols, of Milton, when gathering
his horses from the range last fall found that
favorite Percheron colt was missing, and all
efforts TO find him prove unavaiiing, SO the
animal was abandoned to its fate, which no
one doubted would be that of the vast num-
Der that have found their way into the equine
paradise through the inclemency of the UNI
usually severe winters
Recently Mr.. Nichols, accompanied by an
other gentleman, while hunting deer among
the mountains that form the source of the
Walla Walla river. started band of sevon-
teen black tails from deep canyon, and to
| their surprise observed yearling colt speed
ing away with the band, apparently as
frightened as the deer themselves
Although the colt had acquired their wild
! ness by association, he lacked the speed Of
these mountain climbers, and was soon left
far behind in the mad scramble over the rug
ged hills The gentlemen, who were well
mounted, pursued and overtoo, the colt,
which proved to be Mr. Nichols Percheron
From the fact that tracks of the colt fol-
lowing the trail of the deer were seen in sew
eral instances, and other evidences that were
to be seen, it is believed that it had spent the
entire winter with its strange companions,
and prolonged its existence by following the
guidance of the excellent instinct of the deer
in search Of food when the snow was deep

THE SCHOOL CONVENTIONS.

The central committee of the Peoples
party of this county has called primary and
general conventions for this week, the for
mer to be held tomorrow evening and the
latter on Wednesday evening The Official
cali will be found in this issue of THE HER.
AID. The election of school trustees viii
occur the second Monday in July, when
trustees will be chosen under the new law.
These trustees are to be elected by the re-
spective municipal wards and not, as here
tofore, by the school districts; in future
the entire city form school district to be
under the control of the trustees chosen by
the five wards. The Importance OF the
election, therefore, will at once be under
stood. Only registered voters will be al
lowed to cast ballots, and the election will
be conducted as other elections, by the reg
ularly appointed judges.
Up TO the present time nothing has been
done in the matter. The people seem to
have worked themselves out in last
winters campaign, and that being ended
there has since been needed and enjoyable
rest from political exertion. The time has
come again for action, and it is expected
that it will find the people prepared to take
up the labor and go on with the work in
earnestness and with spirit of determine
ton. 1t is expected that the party organi-
cations will be found intact, and ready and
eager for the duty in hand.
It will at once be understood that the
coming election is extremely important
Involving as it does the control of the
&c ~. tlx-f he
education of the children of the people
generally. The usefulness and success Of
the educational system itself is involved,
for il other than wise and fair and homes,
trustees shall be chosen the schools will
naturally and necessarily so into decay
and the youth will suffer, while there will
be more than useless expenditure of the
public money. The election concerns in
dividuals more nearly than any of our pc
litical contests, the rich and the poor, thu
man of family and he with no children
all are deeply interested. Hereafter oul
schools will be much more expensive thar
they have been, which fact in itself should
cause every citizen to do his utmost Il
place learned and capable men in charge
and the other thing which should inspir,
ali with determination to work now is the
necessity for having the schools conducted
on the non partisan, non-sectional lines
marked out by the law.
Tomorrow evening the primaries will bt
held, and they should call out all the peo
pie that the voice of the majority may pre-
vail in the selection of the delegates to tht
nominating convention on Wednesday.

Making coiors from Flowers.

The oldest of the manuscripts translated in
Mrs. Merrifields Original Treatises, ETC., on
the Arts of Painting" is that of Eraciius
Two copies of it are known; one written on
veium is now in the British Museum; the
other forms part of the manuscripts tran
scribed by Jean lie Begue in 1881. According
TO it, good many chemicals were known
and employed in the dyeing of textiles.
Among the recipes it gives is one to make col
ors from flowers We are told to gather them
early in the morning and grind them up with
raw gypsum, so that they may be preserved
in dry state ''If you wish to change their
color, mix lime with flowers and they will
become green" Further it says: "The juice
of ivy assumes red blood color upon drying,
and is used for dying skins of goats and sheep
rose or pink color. Dry Goods Chronicle.

JIG. FRIEND"
The above is a copy of telegram re-
ceived by the writer yesterday morning
from genial JOIN FRIEND of the Carbon
County Journal. We imagine JoHS's hand
was little shaky from pleasurable excite
nlent when he penned the dispatch. We
imagine his broad chest grew broader as
lie inhaled the free air and realized that at
last he was an American citizen in the
full sense of the term. He had been eman-
cipated and elevated TO the plane occupied
by the mon over tho line in Colorado.
and by, those in Nebraska, and Illinois,
and New York, and in his rejoicing over
the breaking of the shaclsles and the falling
OF the chains, he thought of those who had
suffered with him and were yetin bondage;
he wanted them to be happy and joyous and
demonstrative with him. 1t was kind and
thoughtful and like JoHN FRIEND and his
invitation is appreciated. One Of these
days it viii be accepted, and all along the
line we shall expect to note that the big
hearted, the long fighting and long suffer
ing men Of Wyoming have suddenly in
creased in stature and become more healthy
and vigorous and prouder
And also one Of these days will return
invitation be sent and our friends in wy.
oming viii be asked to come over to Utah
and shake hands and rejoice with Ameri
can citizens cmancipated on this side of the
dividing line. Wyoming's emancipation
will be followed in the not distant future
by the striking of the letters from the good
people of this good and grand community
The nation cannot always be unjust, hard.
hearted and cruel. In time its heart will
soften and it will be Just to the oppressed
and long suffering. In time Congress will
say that it is sinful to longer hold in bond
age honest progressive, patriotic American
born and nation-lovlng people. In
time conscience will smite the rulers, and
then the clouds viii roll away, and the
bright sun Of liberty will shine upon free
Utah; the air will be purified. and we, too
will be like Editor FRIEND, eager to have
others come and participate in our joys and
freedom. There is only little while tc
wait.
Meanwhile, we hurrah for Wyoming and
her proud and courageous people. W.
shout three hearty cheers, and express on,
pride In the beauty and proportions ant
independence Of our sister.
