Ten and Medicine.

Advertising seems nowadays to re-
quire as much training and finesse as
the diplomatic service. The old time
method of giving away crockery,
framed pictures and literature with q
pound of tea is now considered crude
and unconvincing way of inducing
the attention of would be purchasers.
Now it has become the happy privilege
Of tea merchant to retain on his staff
the services of a medical practitioner
and give to every customer q coupon en-
titling him Or her to free advice and
bottle of medicine.
The medical profession, while realiz-
ing the resource and genius Of this
method of securing customers, has de-
clared that the tea merchant is trespass-
ing on its preserves, therefore has APP
pealed to its own council to check this
ebullitlon of inventive genius and order
the tradesman to desist from mixing his
tea with its medicine. London Letter

The italian Renaissance.

Florence, the Athens of Italy, had
banished the Medici family, after hav-
ing put them in power, and had just
burned Savonarola at the stake, after
having regarded him as an idol and a
prophet The city was governed by a
grand council. Trade was prosperous /;
certain families had immense riches.
One Ruceilai spent 1000, 900 francs
upon his wedding, while a merchant
named Luca Pitt commenced the erec-
tion of palace which, it is ture, he
was unable to finish, but which has,
nevertheless, made its founder famous.
Brunelleschi drew the plans for it, but
this Pitt has received all the credit.
His edifice is the most perfect specimen
CT Tuscan architecture extant 1t be-
came the palace of the Medicis and is
today one Of the finest museums in the
world, and the only one of which it can
be said that it contains many master
pieces and not one poor picture.
Wealth and q love Of art were not the
only features which distinguished the
inhabitants of this center of the Italian
renaissance. They did not confne them
selves to the building Of palaces, the
construction of monuments and the en-
couragement generally of science and
art. They professed, also, the worship
of woman and the alteration of beauty.

nothing in general engagement. And
have to tell you, o Christian men. il
you cannot apply the principles of
Christ's religion on small scale, you
will never be able to apply them on a
large scale.
Good Will to All.
If had my way with you, I would
have you possess all possible worldly
prosperity. I would have you each one
garden-a river flowing through it,
geraniums and shrubs ON the sides and
the grass and flowers as beautiful as
though the rainbow had fallen. would
have you a house, splendid mansion,
and the bed should be covered with up
holstery dipped in the setting sun. I
would have every hall in your house set
with statues and statuettes, and then I
would have the four charters of the
globe pour in all their Injuries Oh your
table, and you should have forks of sill
yer and knives of gold, inlaid with dia
monds and amethysts. Then you should
each one of you have the finest horses
and your pick of the equipages of the
world. Then would have you live $50
years, and you should not have pain
or ache until the last breath.
"Not each one of us?" you say. Yes.
Each one of you. ''Not to your enc
mies?" Yes. The only difference l
would make with them would be that 1
would put little extra gilt on their
walls and a little extra embroidery on
their slippers. But, you say, "Why does
not God gives us all these things?"
All, I bethink myself, he is wiser. 1t
would make fools and sluggards of Us
if we had our way. No man puts his
best picture in the portico or vestibule
Of his house. God meant this world to
be only the vestibule of heaven-that
great gallery Of the universe toward
which we are aspiring. We must not
have it too good in this world, or we
would want no heaven.
Polycarp was condemned to be burned
to death. The stake was planted. He
was fastened to it. The fagots were
placed around him, the fires kindled,
but history tells us that the flames bent
outward like the canvas of q ship in a
stout breeze, so that the flames, instead
of destroying Polycarp, were only a
wall between him and his enemies.
They had actually to destroy him with
the poniard. The flames would not
touch him. Well, my nearer, L want
you to understand that by Gods grace
the flames of trial, instead of consum-
ing your soul, are only going to be
wall of defense and a canopy of bless
ing. God is going to fulfill to you the
blessing and the promise, as he did to
Polycarp, "When thou walkest through

THERE IS MONEY IN 1T.
Shipping Cotton to Mexico By San
Antonio Commission Men.

''The best market for Texas cot
ton" said a well-known commits
sion merchant to a LIGHT reporter
yesterday, ais undoubtedly the
Mexican republic. For some rea-
sons, principally that the Mexicans
do not understand the culture Of
cotton very well, it has been cheap
or to buy cotton in the United
States and devote the agricultural
interest in Mexico to the raising Of
corn and wheat.
"There are three or four commits
sion men In San Antonio who make
an elegant living doing straight
commission business by sending
cotton to Mexico. 1 know Of a case
where a few years ago we'll
known young man Of this city,
without a cent of money to start
with, went into the business; then
he began to speculate in cotton for
the Mexican trade and last year
cleared $4,000. / do not know
how extensive the shipments Of
cotton into Mexico are, but last
season between 10000 and $4,000
bales went out of San Antonio
alone, bound for Mexico"

Joseph Field, the veteran farmer of
Monmouth county, known through
out this section at "Uncle JOSIE"
lives until tomorrow, he will cele-
brate his 103d birthday. Mr.. Fields
ancestors were English. "Uncle
Josie" remained bachelor, until
he reached the advanced age OF
seventy.five. Then he did what
many an old man has done before
married a woman fifty years his
Junior. He welded Miss Euretta
Headden, one Of the prettiest girls
in the county. His marriage at
that age surprised his friends.
Three children were the result Of
his union-Rebecca, Joseph and
Euretta. The old man does not
use tobacco in any form. However,
he is a great believer In the stimu-
lating and tonic effects of Jersey
lightning, which he has drank in
moderation all his life. He is small
in stature, and his head is covered
with an abundance of silvery hair.

The visiting brother whom the
English Socialists have certified to
the socialists of this country has
discovered that the American So
cialists are unsocial. He records
it as his opinion that they cordially
hate each other, and that the vari-
Gus divisions Of the great army Of
labor are at loggerheads with one
another. Keir Hardie is mistaken.
He has only discovered that the
American workman has no use for
the worn out platitudes of London
delegates; but then, when did an
Englishman ever succeed in under
standing an American? Certainly
Hardie wants an easier job.

The Trying Season.

The fact was that during that
trying season, when nearly all the
manufacturing industries in this
country were at standstill, the
keenest sufferers were the middle
classes. For the first time In their
lives they were brought face to
face with starvation. Why? Be.
cause there was no employ ment
for their hands. Business seemed
dead. And that, we believe, was
since the beginning OF the Cleve-
land administration.
AS to strlngency, 1t has no
doubt been real. III one doubts it,
let him ask the butcher, the baker
and the candlestick maker. They
are especially fitted to tell whether
the stringency, so far as "private
lives are concerned" was real OF
fanciful. Their books will give evil
dence OF the stringency. Ask to
examine them. And we believe
these books were kept during the
