SURPRISING FIGURES.

The Extent of Advertising Done by the
Lydia e. Pinkham Medicine Company.
Some idea ofthe importance of the Lydia
Z. Pinkham Medicine Company, as Lynn
enterprise, may be estimated by the amount
of advertising which is placed by them in
the leading newspapers of America. Ad-
vertising is in their line one of the surest
gauges by which to judge the extent OF their
business.
The newspaper advertising of this famous
concern is all placed through the advertis-
ing agency of Pettingill & Co., Boston. and
the writer recently learned while in their
offices that eight tons of electrotypes were
shipped by them to the newspapers in one
day, all of which were advertisements of
the I.ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound.
; some idea of the extent of such advertis-
ing can be formed when one considers the
fact that tive-inch electrotype weighs but
few ounces and that eight tons consists
OF 256000 ounces, or an amount sufficient
TO furnish all the leading publications of
America with more than five electrotypes
each.
AS a Lynn enterprise the Pinkhan Med
icine Company stands in the front rank

Rats that Get Tipsy.

Gratis are crafty beggars," said a
wholesale dealer in California wines the
other day as he sat in his office and
looked at an empty trap into which the
tempting bit of cheese had not lured
a victim.
"You would think that even the most
fly of New York rats would forget itself
and go into trap when it had a jag on,
but I'll be hanged if the rats around
these premises do, and they are about
as hard drinking lot as you'll find
anywhere. What do they drink? Well,
claret mostly, and they get genuinely
groggy, too, but it is only once in a
while that one so far forgets it's rules Of
safety as to get into the traps we
set. Now that trap was in the
storeroom last night, and so were the
rats, and they are very hungry lot, but,
you see, it isn't sprung. They will nib
bic place in cask Of claret just thin
enough to let it soak through the wood,
and then lick the drops as they ooze
through, but there they stop, and very
seldom lose cask by having it tapped
hard enough to run out. The same
thing happens on the ships in which the
wine comes around the Horn from Cali
fornia, and the rats on these vessels live
a life of such riotous dissipation that
they can never be reformed. I'm going
to try and tempt a few into our traps by
soaking the cheese in brandy, and / be-
lieve it will prove too much for them, or
at least for the old fellows who have
grown to regard claret and the white
wine as mere matter-of-fact beverages"

FREQUENT Onslaughts

On the delicate membrane of the bowels and
stomach with drastic purgatives must have
their natural cOnsequence-to weaken and
disable both organs Nature exacts severe
penalties for infringements of her laws, and
there is no more glaring one than that which
consists in frequent and unnecessary dosing
with violent cathartics. This is, however,
the course pursued by many unWise people
who seem to think that the bowels, unless
constantly relaxed, are not in a healthy
state. When a laxative is really needed,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the safest
and most thorough. 1t neither gripes nor
operates violently or excessively. 1t invig>
crates the intestines and stomach, and
arouses the liver. Regularity and vigor are
guaranteed by its use. Sleep promoted, APP
petite restored, are among its benign effects.
A tendency to rheumatism and kidney trOu-
BILE is nullified by it, and it completely Grad
icates malarial complaints.

Who should Advertise {?

Who should advertise? is a question
that has been propounded and an
swered in different ways. Our answer,
every one who has anything to sell
whether it is product Of the hand, brain
or machine, and in cases where those
who wish to buy, or secure, or ex-
change anything that they cannot OBJ
tain conveniently, they should adver-
tise Advertising should be treated
precisely as any other investment, and
IN nine cases out Of ten it pays a better
profit than anything else for which
money is spent. The best evidence
that advertising pays, is the fact that
millions of dollars are invested in it by
all sorts and kinds of trade and by the
most successful business men in the
land. Of course it pays. No sensible
man can believe that successful bust
ness houses advertise and become ex-
tensive advertisers for the fun of the
thing. With them it is business Just as
much as buying stock or selling prod
ucts. There are certain principles of
trade that men ought not to ignore,
and among them the principal one is
regular, legitimate and persistent adj
vertising. Washington Stationer.

Two Voyages.

The torpedo boat Cushing's voyage
from New York to Newport in six hours
and fifty minutes is in interesting con-
trast with the first steamboat passage
between the two cities. This voyage
was that of the Firefy, which lett New
York on May %, 1917, and reached
Newport in twenty-eight hours. The
steamer Fulton had made the voyage to
New Haven two years before in about
eleven hours, and thirteen years later
that voyage had been shortened only
about one hour. Regular steamboat
communication between New York and
Newport was not established until 1922.
The tri p had been made experimental
ly the year before in sixteen hours
The fare to Newport by the early lines
was SO. The public did not begin to call
the Sound steamers Floating palaces"
until 1926, when the steamer Washing
ton began to run on the line and came
through from Providence in less than
sixteen hours. The time to Providence
had been reduced to twelve and one
half hours in 1885, and there began to
be much talk of swift steamers; but the
boats were still small, and it was ten
years before steamers Of considerable
size navigated the sound The Massa-
chusetts built in 1886 was the first
boat to resemble family the great
Sound steamers of to-day, and she was
only POP feet long, considerably less
than halt the length Of the largest of
modern steamers.-NeW York Sun.

They Swim from Danger.

''When people think the dynamite
we use in the bridge work will kill q
great many fish they take only one thing
into consideration, said Capt. Serena
the other day; that is the great power
of the dynamite. They forget the good
sense Of the fish. If the fish are near
enough, of course they will be killed,
but after the first blast they are careful
to keep out of danger. After the first
discharge [ have no doubt there will be
enough fish come to the surface to keep
all the Pointers busy for some minutes
gathering them in. The second blast
and all the rest Of the thousand or
two will not kill enough to make a
hearty dinner for half dozen men.
This is because the fish for a mile
around will scurry off to the deepest
water they can find and will stay there
until they can no longer feel the shock
of the explosions. Those men who
have been casting their nets in the
neighborhood must now move from a
mile and half to two miles up or down
the river to find a good haul. Louis

SEEKING A MODERN EDEN.
German Fruitarians Propose to Estab 81
"A Colony in Hawaii.

German Fruitarians Propose to Establish
Colony in Hawaii.
Wilhelm Boeter sailed for Honolulu
from San Francisco on the steamer
Australia, as the advance guard of a
German colony Of fruitarians, the mem
bers of which believe in diet of fruits
and grasses and in the costume of Eden
before the fall. Boeter is searching for
some island where the colony may
demonstrate it's theories without risk of
conflict with worldly philistines. He is
rich, an eX-officer in the German army,
and though dressing in the height of
fashion, he wears no hat, as he wishes
to become accustomed to the tropical
sun. Just before sailing he said:
My idea in going to the tropics is to
live as near nature as possible. The
climate there is suited to my plans.
You know man cannot go naked in a
country where icicles form in his
whiskers. But | will be happy in Ha-
wall. Back in Germany | have friends
fruitarians we call ourselves--who will
come on and join the colony if report
tavorably. Just what form of govern
ment we will adopt cannot be stated at
present. The main object in founding
the colony is to return to the life OF
primitive man-eat nothing but fruit
and grasses, indulge in no exertion
greater than breathing and wear no
garments Of any description. Therein
lies true happiness"
Boeter expects to get control of an
island and bring over the pioneers OF
the colony in few months.

Met Death by Pressur

s'The Man of Iron," otherwise "Giles
the Wizard" was one of the persons
put to death during the witchcraft per
secutions at Salem, Mass. His real
name was Giles Corey, and at the time
of his awful death he was an old man
past so. When accused of being a
s'wizard" (which the Salem lunatics
seem to have considered the masculine
of ''witch"), he calmly met their charges
and coolly informed them that he would
die rather than admit that he had ever
had communion with evil spirits. He

THE BROOK.

There were rushes and willows in that place,
And they cIutched at the brook as the

And the brook it ran it's own sweet way,
AS child doth run in needless play,
And as it ran l heard it say:
''Hasten with me

That is wroth with the flame of the morn

Heigh-ho, but the years go by!
The rushes are dead in the Old-time place,

Discovered His Identity.

Not long since Dundee young lady
took it into her head to get married
without paternal consent. The young
man whom she loved was objected to
by her father on the ground that he
was not we'll enough off, SO far as
the worlds goods were concerned, to
take care Of his daughter, and, al
though he had never seen his in
tended son-in-law, he asserted that
he was not competent to earn for her
a respectable living. In spite of OPP
position, however, the wedding took
place at the appointed time, and it is
needless to say that the father was not
numbered among the guests. The
young couple found modest home in
the neighborhood Of the paternal man
sion and still the irate father refused to
recognize them. But he was not of an
unsociable nature, and he was noted for
making acquaintance on the cars on his
way to and from business. 1t was not
strange, therefore, that he entered into
conversation with a sociable young
man at his side on his way
home the other evening, but it
was little surprising, as he was
rather cautious, that he should have
been SO entirely fascinated by the young
mans remark. "Why," he said, you're
a person exactly after my own heart
you display in your words remarkable
business tact, and are destined TO be a
rich man. If it is not an impertinent
question, who are you, and what is your
name ?' 81 am your sOn-in-law,"
quietly observed the incinient million
aire, as he motioned to the conductor to
stop the car.-Scottish Nights.

For the Kitchen Floor.

If your kitchen or any other floor that
you do not wish to carpet shows unsghtly
cracks try the following recipe for them:
One pound of -four, three quarts of water
and teaspoonful of alum and make n
paste of them, cooking well together.
After removing from the stove stir it into
a lot of paper that is torn into small pieces
and let it soak, stirring as much as You
can. The paper should be stirred until it
is all in pulp and the mass is SO thick
that it is difficult to stir longer. Apply it
to the cracks-be sure the floor is freshly
cleaned frst-and force it in, smoothing
dry thoroughly, and you will find that it
is more lasting and great deal cheaper
than putty This can be painted right over
as though it were wood-Pittsburg Dis

A Slipping Process.

Some very curious processes for propa.
CATION are practiced at the public gar.
dens. One consists in cutting with q
knife ring around branch of plant
One might imagine that the intention
was to kill the branch, but such is by nc
means the object in view. The cut hav-
ing been made, a piece of wet moss is
wrapped and tied around the branch al
that point. Beneath this protection
the sap exudes from the wound, and
little rootlets are developed. After a
few days the branch is cut away from
the parent stem, being then itself a
complete plant, with roots, all ready
to put in pot This plan is adopted
with plants of slow growth, because
one plant may thus be split up into half
a dozen or more of good size, instead
of waiting for seeding or little sli to

THE LOVING WHALES.
Cetacean Romance from the Shore OF
AmaganSett.

Amagansett.
The romance Of loving whales OF
Amagansett Eliminates the columns of
crime and human wrong-doing I'm
agine a couple of cetaceans who were
all and ali together promenading the
vast pathway of the deep. Stopping to
look at the Shinnecock hills and the
southampton villas of Dr. Rainsford
and Collector Kilbreth, they were seen
by the keen-eyed old whalers of ANA
gansett, who put out for them with
harpoons and lines, says the New York
Evening Sun. AS the story goes the
two whales, becoming sensible of I'M
known dangerous wild creatures,
turned to flee. The she whale, not be-
ing able to keep up with her mate, fell
behind. What more touching proof Of
self-sacrifcing love is this? In order
to distract attention from his spouse,
the whale allowed himself to get en-
tangled in the whalers' lines and har-
poems and led the boat a chase for
two miles. The weary whalers at length
saw the ruse, abandoned the chase and
went back after the more helpless fe-
male. Her they caught, killed, and
now she lies on the beach at Shine
cock. But sure of the tender grief OF
the whale, that will keep him about the
spot where he lost his mate, the Anna
gansett men expect to capture the
widowed mate and, loving in life, in
death their essence will still mingle in
inSeparabIe embrace
