1.-Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you
can not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only
the better, so that while our profits
may be much greater in the aggre.

How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?

them and use only the better one.

A Camden lawyer put up bluff sue
cessfully not long ago. A client came
to him and explained that young
man had bought a watch from him on
the installment plan. he made one pay
ment, gave the watch to young lady
and skipped out The client wanted to
know if he could recover the watch
from the young lady. The lawyer said
that he could not without spending
more money than the watch was
worth, except the young woman could
be bluffed The client said a bluff
would be paid for If successful, and
the lawyer posted the following letter,
Dear Madam-The watch recently
presented to you by Mr.. Blank was OBJ
tanned surreptitiously from the estab-
lishment of my client, and unless it is
returned by next Tuesday morning
will be obliged to, very reluctantly, dis
patch judicial functionary to your
residence with process"
The watch was delivered the follow.
ing morning and the lawyer received q
fine gold chain for writing the letter.

A railway recently built in southern
Bavaria practically carries creek
across the railway, instead of the rail-
way crossing the creek. The stream is
a small tributary of the Isar river,
that in stormy times is swelled to enor-
nous proportions. Every bridge that
has been built over it has been carried
away. Finally young engineer offered
to solve the difficulty.
A tunnel of strong masonry was first
constructed across the valley and re-
enforced on the outside, turned toward
the torrent with all the rocks availa-
bic that had collected there. Cross
walls leading from the solid rock and
across the tunnel were built and
strongly braced This was done to
protect the railway. The rest was left
for nature to do. At the first strong
rain everything happened as the young
engineer had predicted. Bowlders and
rocks coming down with the water
filled up the big hole left between the
tunnel and the rocks. until the over
flow carried everything across the tun-
mel. The bed of the torrent was raised
by itself, and now there is not the
slightest danger of interruption in this
part of the railroad even after the
most severe rainstorm.

The Manila Pr.

One of the curious sights to an Amer.
lean visiting the Chinese and native
quarters Is the ever present pig; but, as
pigs are not allowed at large, they
have an ingenious method of tying the
pigs by the ears. They cut small
hole through the pigs ear, one-half to
an inch in diameter. Through this
hole they insert a rope, with large
knot on one end. This rope securely
confines the pigs liberties about the
premises. The same sights are seen
often on the native boats and even on
the swell steam launches plying on
Manila bay. Transporting pigs through
the streets Of Manila always attracts
crowd, although the sight is CON-
mon. The legs of the pig are tied to-
gether securely, and the pig is then
suspended on long pole resting on
the shoulders of two native carriers.
The pig. with his legs up and head
down, makes about as muck noise
while in transit as the pig under q
gate in Missouri and never fails to hold
the crOwd.-Manila Freedom.

supposlns the Ak Had Fa1lenl

Some years ago an inquisitive med
teal student, while examining the gull
lotine in a big waxworks exhibition in
London, took it into his head that the
sort of yoke which fits down on the
shoulders Of the criminal to hold him
in his place would not be sufficient TO
condne person who struggled.
His curiosity on that point led him
to watch till the place was empty,
when he actually put himself in, let
ting down the yoke. Hessooh found,
however, that he was ddftes unable to
lift it, and it at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp ak suspended over
his neck might not be firmly fixed, or it
would fall, as it should, with touch.
He was afraid to struggle lest the
shaking should bring it down and at
once deposit his head in the basket of
sawdust below him, into which his
eyes were of necessity steadily look
ing.
Having staid some time in this
plight he was overjoyed to hear the
approach of visitor, whom he inn
plored to release him. 1t was in vain.
"I'm thinking said the gentleman,
Scottish visitor to the metropolis,
to his wife, that he must be hired to
show how the thing acts, and think
we'd better not interfere"
So the luckless student was left till
one Of the attendants came in and
made fast the ak before releasing him
from his predicament. The ak was
afterward removed and laid by the
side of the structure to prevent future
accidents.

Mirrors In Show windoyvs.

Effective results in show windows
are often produced by the aid Of mir
rors, doubling the exhibit, or even
seeming indefinitely to extend it. A
curious illustration of the effective
ness of mirrors in such use was shown
in a window of a big toy store. Ranged
In companies and battalions, following
one another upon foot wide strip Of
glass raised above the floor of the win
dow and extending along close to the
window in front and along the entire
width Of it, was a long column of toy

march, the figures being all in march
ing attitudes. At the side of the win
dow was mirror standing vertically,
but running back from the front at
an angle slightly acute. Seen from
the sidewalk and at little distance
from the window, the reflection in the
mirror of the marching column Of sol
diers had the appearance of continu-
alton of 1t. the column turning at the
mirror at slight angle from the
course of its march along the glass, the
effect being produced by the angle at
which the mirror was set-New York

Though black and angry clouds may rise
To hide the blue of summer skies
From strained and weary waiting eyes,
The sun will shine when clouds are gone,
And when Gods hand dispels the gloom
The birds will sing. the flowers bloom
Cheer up, faint heart, hope onI
Though steep the way and dark the night,
With meier friendly ray Of light,
And dim and feeble be the sight,
Still happiness waits in the dawn;
There, just beyond the darkness, lies
Loves sweet, sunlighted paradise
Be brave, poor heart, hope oni
For every heartache, every tear,
For every patient, struggling year,
For every sacrifice made here,
When heavens mystic veil is drawn,
A rich reward, ten thousandfold,
Will come, with happiness untold
Hope on, dear heart, hope ont
