Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making bette
article than your competitor if you Cal
get better price for il?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
II both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are GER
tain to return to the one remedy that
they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is MOTH
ing equal to Cbamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by J. II. Janney,
Druggist, 701 King street.

REMARKABLE TOWNS AND VILLAGES
One i'm England Made of Railway
Carriages.
From Tit Bits.

i"Hl ilt-i'ils
Scattered throughout the area of Great
Britain are numerous towns and villages
of 2 curious character. One large village
actually consists of old railway carriages.
even the little mission chapel being built
out of four large horse trucks. Another
village. with a population of 100 and a
ratabe value of fs0o. has neither church,
chapel nor school, the only public edifice
being a pillar letter box.
Villages with a single inhabitant are
not unknown. AT Skiddaw, in Cumber-
lana, there is a solitary householder, who
cannot vote because there is no oNersecr
to prepare d voters list and no church or
other public building which to publish
one; while The only ratepayer in a certain
rural Northumberland parish has recently
declined to bear the expense of repairing
"a road because he considers il quite good
enough for himself.
In the Isle of Ely there is a little Darisb
which has been somewhat contemptuously
described as "a portion of land with three
or four houses and perhaps twelve inhabi-
tants.' This place has no roads at all,
and is, consequently, put to no expense in
keeping them in repair. As a matter of
fact, there are no expenses of any Kind
and no rates.
one OF the most remarkable villages in
TINS country is kempton, near Bedford
which is seven miles long, and extremely
struggling. To walk from one end of the
village TO the other occupies two hours
Sometimes whole villages will practically
disappear. A little Shropshire village has
gradually sunk. until now it is almost
out of sight. 1t is built on a disused coal
pit and the sinking goes on steadily every
year Now and then a tottering house is
propped up TO keep it standing, but, in
spite of all precautions, buildings are con-
stately falling to the ground, and in course
of time doubtless nothing will be left hut
a few bricks to mark the spot where a VIII
laSe once stood.
There are plenty of deserted villages
throughout the country. 4 diversion of
trade into other channels is sometimes
sufhcient TO produce this effect Not MANY
years ago the proprietors of an iron works
at a townlet hear Sheffield, being unable
to obtain certain concessions from "A rail-
way company, removed their works Short
~ afterward half the place was to let. and
the windows of many of the houses were
boarded up

A BIT OF HUMAN NATURE

a train boy on a railroad, who sold fruits
and other articles supposed to be indispen-
sable for travellers, at ere time had such
an enormous demand fer peanuts that he
was questioned on the subject by one Of
the people connected with the company.
You sell three times many as any
boy in our employ" the boy was told.
That's all right; know me business
bettern they do, 1 guess was the an
swer. Il put one pearut in the lap of
every passenger, an they do the rest"
There was something of the kind done,
all unconsciously enough, yesterday after
noon or a 14th street car. The car was
pretty we'll filled with passengers. There
were fat Irish lady, an old colored man,
a gentleman of evident German ancestry
and a number of ordinary people, include
among whom was a Star reporter. The
car was proceeding down the street, when
suddenly and without appar ent reason an
overpowering odor of coffee filled the air
in the car 1t was most appetizing odor,
by the way, and the effect it had on the
passengers was marvellous. The old colored
uncle" who had been rapping in the cor
ner. opened his eyes and raised his nose up
in the air. much as does an cid dog, when
sniff of a rabbit, elusive though it may
be, is had. The Irish lady rolled her eyes
and worked her long upper lip convulsive-
ly, if she was tasting something good.
while the German representative smacked
his mouth. as If he already tasted the COT
fee. The other people all looked Interested.
as If there was a prospect of something
good in sight.
The conductor. who came in to collect a
fare. remained and took deep shifts as If
he liked the new odor. He looked at the
reporter suspiciousy. as if he thought the
newspaper man had cup of coffee con-
cealed about his person. He returned to
the platform with a sigh.
1t was a mystery where the coffee odor
came FROM 1t appeared to grow stronger
every minute. Suddenly the old ''uncle'
pointed long, brown finger at a package
held by a lady just opposite him.
''Missus, yo' bundles bruk, an its leak
in" he said.
ooh, my goodness. There goes my fine
Java coffee 1 just had roasted specially
by my grocer the lady exclaimed. That
coffee's almost worth a cent grain.
Dear me, it's too bad!''
Whether it had the same effect on the
other passengers not could not be
learned, of course, but when The Star re-
porter went to dinner, soon afterward,
the first thing ordered was cup of coffee,
and then another.
