This Queer Old World.

1t Is queer how things go by contraries here,
IT'S always too cold or too hot,
And the prizes we miss, you know, always
appear
To be better than those that we've got;
II is always too wet, or too dusty and dry,
And the land Is too rough or too fiat.
There's nothing that's perfect beneath the
blue sky,
It's pretty good world for all that.
Some people are born but to dig In the soil,
And sweat for the bread that they eat.
While some never learn the hard meaning OF
toll
And live on the things that are sweet;
A few are too rich and lot are to poor,
And some are too lean or too fat
All, the hardships are many that men must
endure,
But
It's pretty good world for all that.
The man who must think envies them that
must be
Ever pounding and digging for men.
And the man with the pick would be happy
If he
Might play with the brush or the pen
All things go by contraries here upon earth,
Life is empty and sterile and fiat;
Man begins to complain on the day of his
birth.
It's a pretty good world for all that.

A Needed Society.

1t is pleasure to commend to the at
tention Of all sensible and discerning per-
sons the society called Scapa, which has
tits headquarters in London. Scapa is
the contracted form OF its title, which in
iul is the Society for the Correction of
the Abuse of Public Advertising. 1t has
honorary members in most civilized
countries, and some in the United States.
There is one in Utica-Dr. Blumer, the
Superintendent of the State Hospital
and the Utica Press tells OF his successful
efforts to get rid OF signs that border the
road side between Utica and his summer
home at Harris Hill. His testimony is
that it was not difficult; that the wners
of the fences and other property which
the signs occupied had usually not been
consulted by the sign-painters, and were
glad to have their belongings freed from
DETACHMENT. DR.. Bumer's method is to
substitute for the signs removed a tin
| placard forbidding the posting of any
more advertisements,
| 1t is worth pointing out that the dis
hgurement Of the rural districts by signs
and offensive advertisements is not done
by persons who live in the country, but
by, or at the instance of city people

consider that farmers are dull lolk any.

excuse or justification for landscape ad

mercial impudence. The men who pro
mote it are under no restraint of taste OF
propriety. They will paint or affix an,

A machine has been produced which
prints and embosses in one impression
from steel die, giving the finest pos
sible results. The speed is a matter
most generally determined by the oper-
ator, and, while general average would
be about 5000 impressions per day, the
machine has record of 1900 in less
than eleven hours. The impressions are
clean, sharp and bright. Absolutely per.
feet register is assured for furnishing
brouzed work by the fact that the
machine is provided with an automatic
