almost standard and with reason, since

up in plain velutina, in velutina cord

Gratifying.

Never until the advent of Pearlo-den- to was there a dentifrice made from a scientific formula comprising medicinal as we'll as cleansing properties. There is no other such preparation in the market to-day. When Pearlo-dento was first introduced to the public many druggists said people were so used to buying cheap stuff that they would not appreciate an article which could not be sold at less than 50 cents. If we had believed this. Pearlo-dento would never have achieved its present popu- larity.
 Knowing, however, from the experi- ence or dentists, how many there are who really care seriously about their teeth. we kept hammering away at tba worthless and harmful stuff in the mar ket with our present success.
 II IS gratifying to know that a meri- torlous article can be successful.

Grand Opera House. ORPHANS OF NEW YORK AT THE
 

GRAND
 Despite the counter attractions and the extremely warm weather very large audiences witnessed the two perform ances yesterday of "The Orphons of New York" a realistic melo-drama, with N. s. Wood, the boy actor, as the stellar attraction. A daring bootblack is the hero of the play, and Mr. Wood never appeared to better advantage. The piece is filled with many startling climaxes and the scenery is all new and presents number of views in New York city. The cast is one of excellence and includes Arnold Reeves, c. w. Goodrich, Lawrence Weston, Belle Vii Vian and Little Ricca. The very large audience yesterday illustrated the fact that MT. Wood has great hold on the public. Another fact concerning yes- terday's performances was that while 1t was a holiday the prices were not raised, but were the same as on any other day in the year. "The Orphans of New York will be repeated this and fo-morrow night and at matinee to- day and tomorrow.

A Great Magazine Feature.

The Ladies' Home Journal has Sc
cured what promises to be the great
magazine feature of 1898. 1t is en-
titled "The Inner Experiences of a
Cabinet Members Wife" In series
OF letters written by the wife of Cab
met member to her sister at home, are
detailed her actual experiences in
Washington, frankly and freely given.
The letters are written without any
intention of publication. They give
intimate peeps behind the curtain of
high official and social life. They are
absolutely fearless. they study Wash
ington life under the searchlight as it
has never been before presented. The
President and the highest officials of
the land, with the most brilliant men
and women of the Capital, are seen
in the most familiar way. AS these
are all actual experiences the name of
the writer is withheld. The letters
will doubtless excite much shrewd
guessing by readers and study of in
ternal evidence to discover the secret.
The Experiences" which will be
beautifully illustrated, begin in the
December number and will continue
for several months. The Ladies Home
Journal, Philadelphia.

II is estimated by the officials of the
Department of Agriculture that this
country sends abroad annually in the
neighborhood of four hundred million
dollars for farm products. There is
small doubt but that many of these
articles could be produced in the Unit
ed States if the American farmers had
more definite information in regard to
the cost of their production and meth
DDS of cultivation. Investigations
looking to this information are what
the Agricultural Department is en-
gagged in at present, as it is the desire
of Secretary Wilson that as much of
this four hundred million as possible
will be kept at home. Mr.. Wilson is
proving the most practical and popular
man who has ever been at the head of
the Department of Agriculture. "Un-
Gle Jerry" Rush, the first Secretary of
Agriculture, appointed by President
Harrison, was genuine farmer and an
able Secretary, but much of the work
of the Department was in an embryotic
and experimental state. Under Secre-
rotary Morton much Of the work re-
manned at standstill or retrogaded-
the beet-sugar industry. for instance.
But Secretary Wilson has taken hold
OF the work with will and has insti-
tuted more Investigations and expert
ments in behalf of the farmer OF the
United States than were ever thought
of heretOfor, and they are bearing fruit
too. 1t is predicted by the friends Of
the agricultural Department that that
branch Of the Government will, in the
near future be one of the most import
ant and influential in the cabinet.
