REMUNERATIVE ADVERTISING.

The progressive business man makes
the subject of advertising a constant
study. The first thing to be considered
is the selection of medium through
which he shall present his announce
ments to the public. Close observa-
ton will show him when he makes a
mistake in his investment, and wise
choice is sure to make itself felt in the
results obtained.
The established newspaper with an
undoubted circulation among class of
readers desirable to reach is acknowl-
edged to be superior to any other chan
mel for bringing adequate returns for
the money expended. THE REPUBLICAN
represents this highest class of adver-
Using mediums in the fullest measure.
Its regular issues go into the homes of
the people who are buyers. Whenever
special edition is published it is put
forth for legitimate circulation and con-
tains matter of interest and value to
warrant that it will be read and thus
be made profitable to its advertisers ac-
cording to the intelligence with which
their announcements are prepared.
Business men who avail themselves
of THE REPUBLICANS pages can make
no mistake.

CONCEALED WEAPONS,

3 A we'll known man about town called
the writer's attention few days ago to
the fact that Emore than forty guns
could be found any night in the three
large saloons on Washington street.
Said the gentleman: AT a game
last night sthere were not less than
eight guns in the pockets OF the per-
sons playing"
This condition of affairs, if true, is
alarming and calls for the immediate
attention of the officers.
The law of the territory and also the
city ordinances strictly forbid the car
rying of concealed weapons under a
heavy penalty. 1t is the duty of the
county and city officers to enforce these
laws without respect to persons, and
the people expect, as they have right
to, that this shall be done.

STIMULATING GROWTH.
A Practical and Scientific Use of Elec
tricity in France.

A Practical and Scientific Use of Elec-
tricity in France.
A practical, scientific use of cleo
tricity is made in France to stimulate
the growth and increase the product
of field crops. An apparatus which
has been successfully used is called the
geomagnetifer, says the Philadelphia
Record, and consists Of high pole set
up in the field where the potatoes or
other crops are growing. 1t supports
an insulated head of galvanized iron,
which terminates in the air in a sort
Of plexus of points and branches made
of copper. This collector of electrici-
ty communicates by wire with a net
work of other wires, which ramify
through the earth around the foot of
the pole and among the growing roots,
beets, cabbages, potatoes or other crop
buried deep enough to be out of the
way in cultivating the crop.
1t is found by experience that this
apparatus collects the electricity which
always exists in the atmosphere, and
which is made especially manifest by
storms rain, wind, etc., and transmits
it to the earth and the stratum of air
nearest the earth. The resulting
stimulus to the crop is very marked.
In one test within a superficial area of
thirty-two meters the potato yield, in
proportion to the yield of adjoining
areas not electrically stimulated, was
as ninety-one to sixty. Another report
showed sixty-three kilograms of pota-
toes, as against thirty-eight kilograms
grown under ordinary conditions.
Other root crops and grapes give equal
ly good results.

purpose of taking this quarrel into the
courts where it does not belong.

A Wonderful Grass-Eating Turtle.

The Xerebates Agassizii, the grass
eating turtle of the Mojave desert, is
said to be the only creature of the tur-

horse or an OK. Xerebates is about ten
inches in length when full grown and
weighs from six to eight pounds. To
escape the intolerable heat of his des-
ert home he often burrows into the
sand and remains inactive for weeks.

Perpetuity Of the RthIe.

The empire of Caesar is gone; the
legions of Rome are Wondering in
The dust; the avalanches that Ma
Poleon hurled upon Europe have
melted away; the pride of Pharaohs
is fallen; the Pyramids they raised
to to be their tombs are sinking
every day in the desert sands; Tyre
is rock for bleaching fishermen's
nets; Sidon has scarcely a rock be-
hind, but the word of God still sur
wives. All things that threatened
to extinguish it have only aided it;
and it proves every day how tran
sient is the noblest monument that
man can build. God has spoken.
Tradition has dug for it many a
grave, intolerance has lighted for it
many a fagot; many a Judas has
betrayed it with a kiss; many a
Peter has denied it with an oath;
many a Dcmas has forsaken it, but
the word of God still endures.

More Than She Expected.

1t seems that at a recent dance a
certain damsel, who valued herself
both for her looks and dancing,
made herself very conspicuous by
refusing everyone of her friends in
turn except two. To one of the
latter she gave three dances and to
the other seventeen.
By the time the ball was half
over the first man began to realize
that what he had imagined at first
to be a great compliment was really
an insult, for he was OF course mere
ly being made use of so that the
other girls should not be able to say
that Miss y. had danced all night
with one man.
He did not appear for his third
dance and he vowed revenge. A
ball was to occur about week later,
and by that time Miss KS favored
cavalier had departed = without
proposing.
The other man interviewed all
the dancing men in the place and
got them, one and all, to promise
that they would not ask Miss X. to
dance.
The result was that when Miss
x. appeared at the ball, radiant and
naughty as usual, and expecting to
be surrounded by aspirants after
the customary fashion, not a man
asked her to dance. Not one spoke
to her even, for fear it might be
imagined that he had broke his
promise and then been refused after
all.
The girl did not understand for
sometime; and it was not until she
had sat out three dances with her
chaperone-a thing she had never
done before in her life-that some
glimmering of the idea had reached
her.
Then, she saw that the other girls
were all looking at her, some with
pity, others with amusement; and
that all the men were ripping over
with merriment. Still she could
scarcely believe that every man
could have dared to join a conspir-
acy against her or would keep to it
when he saw her; and it was not
until she had sat for nearly third
of the evening that she gave up
hope and went away with a face as
cheerful as November fog.-Mod-
ern Society.

The Girl Who Waits.

When most pretty girls reach
nineteen they become engaged to
some poor young man, and as hasn't
the money to marry on, they wait
until he has saved it. The waiting
process is long and tiresome one.
While the young man is having a
good time, spending 80 cents and
saving 10 cents for his marriage,
the girl is growing older, little
more careworn, and wasting her
youth in waiting for a man who in
most cases finds some one moro at
tractive and breaks the engagement.
If girls will look around at the
great number of girls who have
"waited" for some poor man to their
sorrow, they will probably hesitate
before entering upon an engage
ment that promises to be long and
fruitIess, and that leaves them worn
out, and with no faith in human
nature at the end
Very often a girl who is waiting
for a young man to get rich throws
away the real opportunity ofher life;
very often she is the slave to the
caprice of man who finally des-
serts her. Very often, under such
circumstances, a woman gets the
wrong idea of life, and accuses the
world of faults it is not guilty of.
In a way, men take very good care
of themselves for the reason that
they accept the lessons of life hard
though they sometimes are, but
women make the mistake of trust
ing too much and suffering need
lessly for it.-AtchiSon Globe.

PhIsIoIogicaI Fancy.

1t is surprising how many people
believe that the entire body of a
man is renewed every seven years
exactly. This used to be taught in
books and, although not orthodox
now, is still accepted as gospel by
many. To show its inaccuracy one
has only to hit a nail on his finger
hard enough, for in that case the in
jured object will come off and be
replaced by an entirely new nail.
If this process occupied seven years
such an accident would be a very
tiresome affair; but as any mechanic
will tell you, it only occupies a very
few weeks. The growth is more
rapid in summer than winter, but
never taking more than four months.
So far as the nails are concerned, ],
then, the renewal process is repeat
ed about twenty-one times during
the regulation seven years, and the
theory is thus destroyed, even if NO
other proofs of its faIsity were forth
coming.

Snap Shots.

Ifyou want to live long, don't try
to live more than one day at time.
Every step the wicked man takes
is a step towards his own destruc-
ton.
The soul that is to live forever
should not try to live on things that
perish.
1t does not take and eloquent
tongue to give pleasant sound to
good news.
Gods work is most hindered by
people who arc unfaithful in little
things.
A good man always brings moro
into the home he visits than he
takes away.
The fact that man wants moro
knowledge, is proof that he has
some already.
The man who will not give up
his sin in this life will have to
keep it in the next.
Unless we love to give, it is hard
to make our neighbors believe that
we love the Lord.
How straight we would all walk
if we knew how many eyes were
watching us.
Preaching science will never
cause men give up sin and go to
loving one mother
There ought to be more religious
people who are religious when
things don't go right.
If you can bear all your small
trials you will never break down
under your great ones.

Assuming husbands Names.


The practi' G of the wife assuming
the husbands name at marriage,
according to DR.. Brewer, originated
from Roman custom and became
the common custom after the Roman
occupation. Thus Julia and Octa-
via, married to Pompey and Cicero,
and in latter times married wome n
in European countries signed their
names in the manner, but omitted
the "of" Bgainst this view may
be mentioned that during the Six
teenth and even at the beginning of
the Seventeenth century the usage
seems doubtful, since we find Cath
arine Parr SO signing herself she
had been twice married, and we al
ways hear of Lady Jane Gray (not
Dudley,) Arabella Stuart, (not Sey-
mour,) etc.
Some persons think that the Gus
tom originated from the Scriptural
teaching that husband and wife are
one.
This was the rule of law so far
back as Bracton (died 1862, and it
was decided in the case of Bon YER
sus Smith, in the reign of Elizabeth,
that a woman by marriage loses her
former name and legally receives
the name of her husband. Alto
gether, the custom is involved in
much obscurity.

Tho Sian With a Mouth.

! love the man who knows It all,
From east to west, from north to south:
Who knows all things, both great and small
And tells II with his tireless mouth:
Who holds listening world in awo
The while he works his iron jaw
Outlines in evenings holy calm,
When twilight softens sight and sound
And zephyr brenthes a perfect psalm.
This fellow brings his mouth around
With It's long gallOp that can tire
Tho eight day clocks impatient ire.
His good. strong mouth He wields 1T we'll!

Such mighty deeds upon the earth.
He pulls the throttle open wide
And works her hard on every side.
Good Lord, from evils fierce and dire
Save us each day-from fear and woe,
From wreck and flood, from storm and fire,
From sudden death, from secret foe,
From blighting rain and burning drouth-
And from the man who plays his mouth.

What Editing a Paper Is.

A contemporary gives his expert
ence of editing a paper in the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
Editing a paper is pleasant busi-
ness-if you like it.
If it contains much political mat
ter, people won't have it.
If the type is large. it doesn't con-
tain much reading matter.
If the type is small it hurts folks
eyes.
If we publish telegraphic reports
folks say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, we have no en-
terprise or suppress them for politi-
cal effect.
If we write many editorials, they
say we are conceited and want to
air our opinions.
If we give way to other writer's
and news items, we are ignorant
and can't run a paper.
If we have q few jokes, folks say
We are nothing but rattle heads.
If we omit jokes, folks say we are
nothing but fossils.
If we publish original matter,
they damn us for not giving selec-
tions.
If we give selections, people say
we are lazy for not writing more
and giving them what they have
not read in some other paper.
If we give complimentary no.
tice, we are censured for being par
tial.
If we DON'T both hands say we
are great hogs.
IF we insert an article which
pleases the ladies, the men become
jealous and vtce Uersa.
If we attend church they say it is
for effect.
If we remain in our offices attend
ing to our business, folks say we
are too proude to mingIe with other
fellows.
IF we go out they say We don't
attend to our business.

Deer Driren fntn Rarns-

BATH, N. Y, Jan. 28.-On Friday,
when Fred. Hathaway, who lives
on the Lawrence farm near the town
of Cameron, this county, went out
to feed his cattle in the morning, he
found three deer in the barnyard
among his cattle, a buck and two
does. They had presumably come
in from the woods of Potter county,
Pa, forced from their wild haunts
by the deep snow and intense cold.
They were SO averse to returning
to the woods after finding plenty of
hay and shelter on the Lawrence
farm, that Halfway had no diff

A Fashionable Dinner Given in the
Year OF Rome 722.

Upon the three wooden couches
which formed three sides of square
in the center of a room there re-
clined nine Romans-for the giver
of the feast had borne in mind the
saying of Varro that those invited
should never be more in number
than the MUSES. nor less than the
Graces.
The guests wore wreaths of roses
upon their oiled locks, most of them,
although one, whose white tunic
bore the single dark stripe of a SEN
ator had preferred the crown of
ivy leaves. The couches whereon
they reclined were of wood thickly
incrusted with ivory, and made cas-
Ter by many cushions covered with
light silks. The guests leaned on
their left elbows, and ate with their
right hands only. At the end OF
the course silent servants brought
water in silver bowls and proffered
linen napkins that the fingers might
be washed, while another attendant
wiped the low wooden table with q
thick cloth.
In the open space before the table
and the couches other slaves were
casting down saffron died sawdust
that it might absorb the blood which
lay in little pools upon the pale
pavement. There the gladiators
had been fighting but moment be.
fore, to entertain the guests at the
banquet; and having given strong
proofs of their skill aud of their
courage, they had been dismissed
and were now behind the house, out
of sight, one trying to stanch his
wounds, the other stiff in death and
carried by his comrades.-Brandel
Matthews, in Harper's Magazine.
