A GOOD SHOW.

We are always advising you to
advertise, and to keep on advertis
ing, but that does not cover the
ground entirely. Of course, you
should make your advertising effec-
tlve-lfa an electric light be available,
you should not use a "tallow Dip
to light the path to your store.
What do we mean by that Sim
ply that the more conspicuous, the
more artistic, the more attractive,
the more original you make your adj
vertisements, the more people will
see and read them, and the more
customers you will have to con-
tribute to your cast-drawer.
Study effects in bold pretty type
good matter may be spoiled by
ugly dressing. Seek to catch the
eye BY a display Of good taste in the
style and arrangement Of your an
nouncement.
Aboveall, let it be bold enough to
be easily read. Don't vex a reader
by vexing his or her eyes!

Big Pay for Knot Making.

There is in st. Louis firm of rope
makers and dealers that has side line
that it does not advertise. 1t is the
manufacture and preparation of hang
mans ropes. The firm sells as many as
one hundred of these ropes annually.
The price Of the rope, with the moose
ready for use, is five dollars. The ropes
are handmade and of hemp, and one Of
the employees of the firms North st.
Louis rope walk ties the knot. A few
weeks since the sheriff of Madison coun-
ty, H., had man to hang at Edwards
vile. He bought rope that he thought
would answer the purpose. The tying
Of the knot he found, however, to be a
more difficult matter than he imagined,
and he went to st. Louis to have the
moose made. The ropemalscr charged
him two dollars and fifty cents for tying
the knot.

II Ia Said to BE Finer Than That of Any

To the southern housekeeper butter
milk is practical, everyday necessity.
She not only uses it in cooking, but
puts it upon her table as beverage.
81 never use baking powder" said
lady to New York Recorder reporter
one day, :'except in cake" and | noticed
she expressed the minds of the southern
women generally.
One woman will even sour her sweet
milk with vinegar rather than not
make her biscuit in the usual way. The
Tennessee woman churns every day in
warm weather, and she churns sweet
milk.
In fact, all the milk that is not used
for family purposes is put into the
churn. It follows that the amount of
butter is small but it is the buttermilk
she is after aud that she gets In such
abundance that the question OF the
little child: Mamma, which COW gives
the buttermilk?" is not SO strange, after
all. The children drink it as they would
water.
At dinner it is often the only beverage
upon the table. What is not needed for
the family is readily sold at the uni
form price of ten cents per gallon.
Many woman of the south makes her
pin money in this way.
In fevers and all diseases of malarial
type buttermilk is useful drink. An
observant physician who knew the
habits of both northern and southern
people once remarked: II believe that
one reason the people of the south do
not suffer so much from dyspepsia is be-
cause of their free use of buttermilk. 1t
isnot only promoter of gooddigestion,
but good blood purifier, and therefore
valuable internal cosmetic"
Do you suppose, my northern lady
that when you taste the sour, saltec
contents of your bi-weekly churnine
after that great golden lump comes
forth you can form a just idea OF wha

If you wish to do SO you must sacri

Dress of the Salvation Army Women.

DfVoo u sho <AAnAS SvoAhchs
This is what Mrs. Bramwell Booth
says about the dress worn by Salvation
Army women: "The dress, / think,
was developed bit by bit. 1t was not
in the early days SO distinctive uni
form as it is now. In the Christian
mission period the bonnet was small
and close-itting, and it might be
trimmed with black velvet, but the
strings were Of white ribbon, which
soon became soil d. Our present bon
net, when you come to consider how
many styles of face it has to suit, is not
unbecoming. Elderly women and peo-
pie with large faces look much better
in large bonnet than in small one,
and a large bonnet is protective to the
hair-a point which we have to consid-
er. The dress might formerly be either
black or navy blue. Now it must
be blue. Yes, the uniform is very
comfortable, and it is pleasant
to think that we need not discard it for
any change of fashion. My only fear is
that our dress should look rather too
smart for the very poor people we go
among, for our chief point is that we
should be in all things one with them
selves"

A frog cannot breathe with his mouth
open. The conformation of his breath
ing apparatus is such that when his
mouth is open his nostrils will be
closed. and, paradoxical as it may
seem, all you have to do to suffocate a
frog is to put stick in his mouth so he
cannot shut his jaws. 1t is a strange
phenomenon, probably unparalleled in
animal history, but nevertheless any
one who pleases may make the expert
ment, though it certainly will be dis
astrous to the frog.

POETRY AND DEMOCRACY.
Poets VIII Give Expression to the Grea
Heart of Humanity.

Heart OF humanity,
'sThe voice of the masses was never
heard in the old world literature" says
Walter Blackburn Harte in the April
New England Magazine. "a whisper
of it was heard almost for the first time
with the French revolution. 1t is now
beginning to be heard in real earnest,
and if it does not find strong utter
ance in poetry as yet, it is because
poetry is traAmeled by tradition.
When the poets really awake to the
grandeur of being able to give express
sion to the great heart of humanity, we
shall hear no more of this twaddle about
this age being too democratic and too
prosaic for the production of good poetry.
If the common life of the nations can
not afford inspiration for a great poet,
then VIC may believe that poetry is in
deed dead forever; for it will then ap-
pear that the great poem of God is ridic-
ulous in the eyes of his human mouth
pieces The awakening intellect of the
millions will throw down kings and
aristocracics and plutocracies and the
brutal chivalry of romance forever, and
there will then be greater, more
human, more divine inspiration for the
true poet in the common life of the peo-
pie. The old poets, from Homer down,
concerned themselves principally with
the prominent men of their time; the
men who were the peaks of circum-
stances, and whom we have since
learned to accept as great. They have
really been deified by the greatness OF
the poets. History is beginning to show
us how small and mean and petty they
actually were in their lives The poets
were too often courtiers."

One OF the most .--no,-a and fatal poi

tanned from the bamboo. The young
shoots of the cane when they first push
through the ground are covered with
fine, brownish hairs, which, under the
microscope, appear to be bayonet-like
spikes of crystals of silex, infinitely
sharp and hollow. Small quantities Of
these hairs administered daily in the
food bring on liberation Of the whole
alimentary canal, stimulating malig-
nant dysentery. The action must be of
a mechanical rather than chemical ma
ture, just as the spores of the common
puff ball act upon the eyes. The bam-
boo crystal is greatly dreaded by all
European residents of Java A Dutch
official report says that scores of deaths
among European planters are due to the
bamboo hairs and to the jealousy OF
native women, who whenever they
take fancy to a white man will either
have him or poison him on bamboo

To the poetic Imagination, says writer
in Scribner, the difficulties, deprayities

peace and sincerity which it cannot do

poets favorite haunt has always been
the wales and the groves, the fiowery
banks and the green fields. But nature
wholly unpeoplcd still failed to satisfy,

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Studies at the public schools will be
practically resumed to-day. On the
earnest labors put forward by these in
stitutions depends in a great measure
tho calibre Of the minds OF the rising
generation An education that will be of
practical service ID desired. Parrot les
SONS are invariably shaken off with
school dust, but those valuable lessons
which have aroused the interest and
ambitions of the pupil generally govern
his mind long after school days are for
gotten.
Educate the mind, make known to
the pupil its possibilities and resources
and his perceptive faculties cannot fail
70 grasp the Importance of constant
mental training.
The discipline Of the schools ought to
be main item, although Natures first
law. order, seems completely omitted
from child's composition. This i'm
portant requisite will need to be in
stilled. Cheerful obedience is the re-
suit OF careful and guidance and gentle
but firm correction.
Regular attendance is, of course, n
dispensable to good results. Cheerful
teachers and interesting studies tend to
augment the pupils desire to attend
every session. inducements offered in
way of rewards. of course, frequently
have good effect.
g With earnest workers, progressive
board and liberal Council our schools
should flourish.

Before Leaving She Secured 81, 900. Which
She Took with Her.
The wife of William Queicht, the we'll
known proprietor of the Wayside Inn,
eloped few days ago with German
named Fritz, who was engaged as a
cooper at the brewery. Mrs. Queicht, by
skilful man@uvering, induced her hus-
band TO deed to her, or place in her
keeping, the sum of two thousand dol
lars. She then told her husband that
she would have to go to Baltimore to
have difficult surgical operation per-
formed on her by an eminent physician
OF that city. The husband, not suspect
ing any treachery, gave her an mple
sum OF money to defray all expenses in
CURED on the trip and bought her a
ticket to Baltimore.
The anxious husband waited patiently
for a couple of weeks expecting every
day to hear from her, but no letter
came. He became uneasy and went to
Baltimore only to discover the perfidy
OF his wife and to ascertain that she had
fled the country with another, taking
with her his two thousand dollars. Mr.
Queicht has since disposed OF all his
property here, selling the Wayside Inn
to Henry Scholz, brother of Louis Scholz
manager of tho brewery, and has gone
to Baltimore.

THE CHOLERA.

Not even an impending Presidential
election can distract attention from the
gallant fight being made at New York
to keep out the cholera. The State is
spending sums which will rapidly reach
the million line for the protection not
alone Of New York city and State, but
OF the whole country.
So far the defense has been success
full. Not single case has reached the
Battery. But in the lower harbor half
n dozen ocean greyhounds and score OF
steamships of lesser note are held with
several thousand passengers, all more
or less infected with cholera. These
passengers are now being rapidly dis
tributed at Fire Island, Sandy Hook
and the Quarantine station in order to
stamp out the disease more effectually.
There have been over 100 cases, OF
which over half have resulted fatally,
on these steamers. They are veritable
plague centers and only the most drastic
treatment will ever cleanse them. Even
If the disease be subdued until cold
weather the coming of spring will again
act the scourge in notion Yet America
must BIO protected even if at the ex-
pense of absolute non-intercourse. Prob.
ably half million lives will have fallen
victims to the present epidemic of chol-
era before it has exhausted its powers.
Again THE TIMES repeats that bsolute
cleanliness is the greatest safeguard.

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

Much apprehension has existed in the
minds Of many persons lest they should
not be able to procure single specimens
OF the Worlds Fair souvenir half dollar,
except by paying exorbitant prices to
spectators. The Exposition could not
sell except In quantities. and the solu-
tion Of the problem seemed difficult.
The Hon. Thos. B. Bryan has solved it
In highly satisfactory manner. He
has deposited with the treasurer of the
Expos ton 1000, and the same number
-efhalf dollars as soon as minted are to
be delivered to tho jennings Trust Co.
Any stockholder of the Exposition, on
exhibition OF his stock certificate and
payment of the value, at the rate of one
dollar for each. can receive one or more
coins. These will be delivered in the
order Of the original applications as
filed. Applications should be made at
once.
From the applications already on file
it is estimated that more than 10O,O 900

The readiness with which they re-
sponded to the opportunity offered for
direct presentation of their life and
customs. the beauty and variety of the
articles they brought forward as samples
OF what they would exhibit were evil
dences of the great value such an
exhibit would possess to the exposition.
The plan which Miss Sickels reports as
having met with general appreciation IL
that there shall be, q representative
Indian exhibit in which shall be shown
the different phases of Indian life in
| the development from tho Indian of the
stone age to the cultured Cherokee.
Each tribe will build its own habitation
and pursue it's characteristic habits and
| m Methods Of industry as carried on by
them now at their own homes. This
] will give the visitor an opportunity to
see the Indian as he is, and will arouse
Thorn to the best work. The civilized
tribes have promised to pay all of their
expenses.
Prof. Elisha Gray, the celebrated
electrician, has returned from an ex-
tensive European tour taken in the
interest OF the electrical congress which
