THERE is a family in Oregon which
has a peculiar religious faith. Each
member OF it is obliged to take six
baths every twenty-tour hours. No
outsider is allowed to enter their
dwelling. They work every day for
six years, and rest the whole of the
seventh year. They base their relig-
ion on the Bible, and claim that all
other religions are false.

TINE was when the average man
wouldn't read an advertisement all
the way through. Small blame to
him. Advertisements in those days
were pretty bad. 1t wasn't SO very
long ago. We all remember them.
The improvement in advertising is
due, not to any increase of intelli-
rence, but to the direction of intellI-
gence into advertising channels.
good advertisements are read nova
days. They are looked for.

Of 100 acres OF land and $4,000 in cash.
The drummers have secured additional
contributions amounting TO $4,000 and
have no doubt of their ability to raise the
entire amount required. When the home
at Binghamton is completed, others will be
built In the south and west.
There are over 4S0, 600 travelling salesflen
in the United States, and last year they
sold upward of 600, 600 600 tons of goods and
spent s1T2, ,000, 900 in railroad fares. The life
they lead is beset with danger and filled
with excitement. Every year many Of them
are crippled in railroad accidents or become
prematurely incapacitated for work in con
sequence of the irregular mode Of living
which their calling makes necessary. Ap-
peals in behalf OF unfortunate members OF
the fraternity are made at nearly every
gathering OF their different associations,
and many business houses feel compelled
to practically support men who have bro
ken down while pushing their trade on the
road
The establishment of the Binghamton
home will lessen the necessity for much OF
this relief by providing a refuge for broken
down members and their families. There
are three such institutions in England, but
none has hitherto been established in the

In Austria and Russia the duel is a far
more dangerous affair than in France. In
the former country pistols are used at close
range, or furious and prolonged struggles
with swords have almost equally serious
effect. Dueling in the army is rife, and
among civilians it is carried on with no less
bitterness OF feeling. Nevertheless some
men are often engaged with but slight III
