It is one of tho inexplicable things
connected with business that man
advertises literally when trade is
good and refuses absolutely to adyer
tise when trade is dull The thing
to do, of course, is to advertise all the
time; to keep everlastingly at it; but
if he is going to quit at any time, the
time to quit is when his trade is
booming. He can better afford to
quit then than when times are hard
and customers scarce. Under the
latter circumstances people are look
ing for bargains and trying to make
one dollar possess the purchasing ca
pacity of a dollar and half, and they
must be appealed to by attractive
and well-written advertisements.

This Great French Artists Pet Model Which
Died In Her Arms.
Rosa Bonheur loves the animals
she paints and is in turn adored by
them. She showed her recent pur-
chase, o magnificent lion, who pa1Ted
and wIithed like gigantic cat when
his owner fearlessly stroled lis
mighty head. Then, showing the
head Of a most superb specimen of
the African lion transferred to can
vas with startling realism, she tells
the story of Nero. He was her first
pet lion and was reputed untamably
ferocious and lived for several years
in the garden at By. At lastone day
Rosa Bonheur was about to travel
and disposed Of Nero to the Jardin
des Plantes. She parted with him
reluctantly, for he was a great pet
and would greet her always with q
peculiar little note Of welcome.
When she returned from her wan
behring's, two years later, she went to
see Nero and bebeld o sad sight.
The poor creature had not been SO
carefully tended as he was used to be
at By. Ophthalmia had set in, and
the splendid brute lay blind and all
ing, unheeding the curious crowd
that stared at him. Rosa Bonheur
watched him for q moment and then
called ''Nero!" The effect was mag
ical. The lion rose to his feet, ut
tered his accustomed note of vel
come and sprang toward the well
loved voice with such impetuosity
that the shock against the bars sent
the sightless brute rolling, stunned,
back on the floor. The great artist
took him back, soothed his last days.

A shrewd Preacher.

A preacher advocating the support
of a charitable object prefaced the
circulation of the boxes with this adj
dress:
''From the great sympathy have
witnessed in your countenances, there
is only one thing lam afraid of-that
some of you may feel inclined to give
too much. Now, it is my duty to in
form you that justice should always
be prior virtue to generosity, there
fore I wish to have it thoroughly
understood that no person will think
of putting anything into the box who
cannot pay his debts"
The result was an overhowing col
lection. London Tit-Bits.

There was a man named Wilson,
who had tariff bill which stopped
everything running, except the whis-
key still. It was dictated by one
Grover, who a prophet had been
dubbed; but the bill proved his
downfall, and by everybody he was
snubbed. He twisted in foolish an
ger, not knowing what to do, and
finally tried to shift the burden onto
his monkey Walter Q. lie sought a
Loud Hornbiower and to Peck'em
hard he tried; but tho Hill was unsur-
mountable, and to Buzzard's Roost

him in his solitude, and in his faded

desuetude.- Litchfeld News Ledger.

Once more the cry Of "no quorum"
has for several days tied the House
hand and foot, while all the time
there have been many more than a
quorum of members sitting in their
seats, but only those voting who fav-
ored the pending legislation Repre-
sentative BANDS bill for the coinage
of the seigniorage in the treasury.
This may be craftsmanship, but, re-
CARELESS of the merits or dement's of
the measure under consideration, it
strikes most unprejudiced minds as
being mere boys play. It is not pre-
tended that the fllbustering is in
dulged in with the hope of defeating
the bill, as it is generally admitted
that the measure will pass as soon as
its disciples can get quorum of
their own on the floor. Here, then,
are several days absolutely wasted
for no other reason than simply to de-
lay the passage of a bill, which is GER
tain N the end 10 pass. In the
meantime the statement is
being made by those in authority,
that unless Congress provides money
in some other way, Secretary Carlisle
will announce another issue of bonds
before July LIST.
The number of people who question
the wisdom of Mr.. Reeds method,
when he has speaker, of counting
those present who did not vote in or
der to make a quorum, is growing
less every day. It is every mans
privilege and duty to favor or oppose
every measure, but no man should
have the right to prevent legislation
by refusing to vote while in his seat.

knocked Out by sauerkraut Explosion,
A German living on Potato noun
tain made barrel of sauerkraut and
thought to preserve the aroma of
the fermented cabbage in all of its
freshness by driving both heads of
the barrel tight and mailing down
the bung. Finally he decided that
his kraut was about ripe and went
to the cellar to examine it. He had
hardly entered tie cellar when his
family was startled by terrific ex-
plosion. Something struck the floor
beneath them hard enough to loosen
the boards, and the air was filed
with the favor Of newly opened
kraut
The mans wife hurried to the eel
lar, where she found her husband
lying on the floor, his whiskers, hair,
clothing and the ceiling of the cellar
filed with shreds of cabbage, while
the barrel was in pieces and scat
tered about the room. The man was
unconscious, but recovered soon aft
er being carried up stairs. Hestated
that as soon as he had knocked the
top hoop from the barrel the cask
exploded with the force of steam
boiler, driving him against the cell
ing so hard that the boards were
loosened. The fermentation had
caused gas to generate, and when he
agitated the stuff by driving the
hoop it let go with the force of an
ignited barrel of gunpowder.-Oil
