MAKE THE MEN MARKET.
A Woman Writer'S Bold Suggestion to
Help Weary Wives.

A Woman Writer'S Bold Suggestion to
Help Weary Wives.
There are few things that exhaust a
woman more than q days shopping.
The average man looks upon a woman 8
purchasing day" as one of pleasure,
but when he accompanies her on one of
these shopping expeditions he goes
home, after his patience has been all ex-
hausted, with a different belief. He
learns, too, that a woman can endure
vexations and appointments with
much more equanimity than he can,
ands he mentally VOWS never to do it
again.
The number of miles traversed is
really what tires one, and it is little
wonder that the woman who does the
shopping for herself and her entire fam
lily, as we'll as the marketing and the
bargaining with the "butcher and bak-
er and candlestiok maker, - should feel
the need Of rest for her tired nerves.
The man Of the house should always
do the marketing. In the old days,
when the butler was not the stately
parsonage he is now, women were new
er troubled with the worries of house,
hold purchasing, for the head of the
house did the entire buying, and
"James' carried the parcels and was
not ashamed to do It.
=. No mother who has the care of little
children should give the precious morn
ing hours to anything else but the
nursery, nor should she let butchers
and grocers' boys call for and deliver
orders, because there is sure to be dis
satisfaction if she does. Some wealthy
families allow their chef to take charge
of the household, and he collects large
percentage from the tradesmen, which,
OF course, is added to the monthly bill.
Reputable storekeepers will not do this
kind of business, however, and the chef
"patronage" is controlled entirely by a
few men. On the whole, it is much
more satisfactory for the man of the
house to do the marketing. He will get
the best meat, have his orders promptly
attended to and save about % per cent
in the transaction, as we'll as the health
Of his wife. Chicago Times.Herald.

INDIAN MAGIC.

Wisest to Explain It.

1t Is Often Beyond the Power Of the
Wisest TO Explain It.
One need not go to the realms of
SPACE, or time, or figures to meet with
the incomp ehensible. Despite modern
science and ingenuity this word still re-
mains the only applicable epithet for
some of the achievement is of Indian con-
jurers. We can smile at the luminous
appearance of the beautiful face before
which as the revelation of Osiris the
old Egyptians FRUSTRATED themselves in
awe-for the marvels of the magic lam
tern are familiar to us, the early exist
enoe of gunpowder gives an easysex.
PLANTATION Of the oraole's lightning and
thunder, the weird harmony Of Mem
non was merely the result Of an In
genious mechanical CONTINUANCE
shrewd travellers Of later date, whose
veracity is beyond dispute, tell Of
much more inexplicable things than
these. One of the best known writers
on occultism, Jacolliot, has left an ac-
count Of certain things he saw during
his official sojourn in India which, as
they seem to defy explanation, may
fairly be classed among things incom-
prehensible. The performer was one
whom he accidentally met and who re-
CURED some persuasion before he would
exhibit feats which, he continually af-
firmed, were the work of other intelli-
gences. -- .,.-..~..,- - -.,.--. &,
On some sticks fixed upright in flow
erpots were placed some leaves from a
tree, with holes in each sufficiently
large to make them fall to the level of
the mold. Standing at considerable
distance, the fakir made gesture with
his hands. A slight breeze seemed to
pervade the room, then the leaves quiz
cred and gradually worked upward on
the sticks. Jacolliot placed himself be-
tween the fowerpots and the operator,
placed the sticks in the flooring and
adopted every means he could imagine
to frustrate any trickery, but nothing
he did made any difference to the move
ment Of the leaves.
The more familiar feat of the SEEM
ingly supernatural growth of flowers
was utterly ecljpsed by another instance
vouched for by the same narrator. His
own servant brought him score or so
Of seeds, from which he selected and
marked one. The fakir planted it in
pot Of earth, muttered some words over
it and fell into sort Of trance, which
lasted about 80 minutes He then
awoke, uncovered the pot and discover
ed Seeding two or three inches high.
Jaoolliot examined it and found it had
sprung from the seed which he had
marked.
With touch of a peacock's feather
the fakir depressed balance of COM
mon weighing machine in daily use in
the household, though in the other was
a weight Of 10 stone, and with a dis
tant motion of his hand he made shay
ings Of wood to sink or move in water.
Still more marvellous is the description
Of the manner in which this veritable
eastern wizard was able to set at de-
fiance the law Of gravity. On this occa-
sion, when leaving the room, he paused
on the threshold, folded his arms, and,
by simple act of volition, raised him
self from the floor and remained poised
in air for some minutes - London

own words. "unsoicted, believing
him to be the most competent and
capable man in the State for that high

Advertising PhilOSOnhy

The Newark On. j. l1dcertiser puts
it this way:
Advertising is news-nothing more nor
less
The news of your business should be print
ed in the newspaper.
Then it will be seen and read by those
whom you desire to reach
Then you will have asked properly for the
trade you want Then you'll get it,
You must use the right newspaper, though
the newspaper read by the people whose
trade you are anxious to secure
A great deal depends upon the IN
junction-"you must use the right
newspaper
TO disseminate business news
through a paper because it claims to
be party organ is to discriminate in
favor of or against some class of good
buyers. The advertiser thus invites
some to come to the store, and others
to stay away.
The true plan, however, is to place
the advertisement in paper that is
not only read by all classes, but whose
appearance isawaited with expectancy
of pleasure and profit.
Said Baltimorean to the JOURNAL
not long ago:
look for your paper every Monday morn
ing with keen interest, anticipating seeing
something new and profitable, and ii a,erer
dimppointS me.'
AS Frostburg medium for dis
trlbuting advertising news, therefore,
the JOURNAL is practically without a
competitor.

Newspaper Greatness.

A trade paper tells each of its
editorial readers that
A newspaper becomes great in proportion
with its owners inclination to impart his in.
dviduality, his soul in its every utterance.
But suppose there are several own
ers-one with this "incliuation" and
the other with that Individuality
how will they fuse them =?
How, for instance, will you tele-
scope John B. Williams Frostburg
'soul" with William R. Harris Cum
berland ''individuality?"
Again:
Society's disposition to ape, too often ex-
tends to and tants the profession. We see
many really able men, but so imbued with
the notion that they must try to please the
public, that they lose their identity as indi-
vidual beings and therefore float along on the
surface, whereas if their tastes, instincts, in
buttons were given free and sincere express
sion, they might be leaders of men,
In a case we wOt of there are five
distinct sets of "taStes," as many
groups Of instincts" and the same
number of ''intuitions." These, how
ever, cannot all be positive, nor can
all be negative. How, then, can the
endowment of free and sincere ex-
preston" make them ''leaders of
men ?" Suppose, too, one ''taste"
and ehn,,1l ,>,,1l
against one ''instinct, and this should
be reinforced by another "instinct"
and ''taste," what then ?
Why, these people, instead of be-
coming "leaders of men," would fail
in an attempt to lead themselves.
Fact is, the ''freer and sincerer''
the expressions" of these folks, the
worse they will be off. For by the
law of Formulation, the "freer' five
sets of tastes" instincts and ''intui-
tons are, the surer they will fall
short OF popular leadership by num-
Der more uncountable than a 'Iead-
ing circulation
But
The wei[meant, but grevous effort to
please the public has ruined many life.
There is no clearer way to exhibit manhood
than through the expression of ones true
sentiments. To be ones self is to be original.
There's no living being like you.
To which collection of "tastes, in
stincts and intuitions" this paragraph
is addressed the JOURNAL cannot say.
But one thing is sure ''to be ones
own" five selves is to ''reducen an
editorial flock of tastes, instincts and
intultions" to what has been seriously
called :a state of ,mnoSSih;litv
