"DItty" Boxes For Sailors.

Each member of the crew of the
second-class cruiser Detroit recently
received the small box, or chest,
familiarly known in the navy as a
"ditty" box. This is necessary
article which each marine carries with
him on all his assignments, and al.
though not regularly issued by the
Government, it is carried by the Navy
Department free of cost for him. 1t
is one of the few things which is the
personal property OF the marine or
bluejacket.
The "ditty box" is not new addi.
ton to the belongings of marine,
having been in use for many years. 1t
is about fourteen inches long, eight
inches wide and ten inches high. 1t
is made of wood and divided into sew
eral compartments resembling some
what the divisions in an ordinary
trunk. The lid OF the box contains
receptacles, with rack, which hangs
midway in the other part, and is in
tended for blacking brush, box of
Dlacliing, n tripley brush and scour-
ing materials. The securing ma
terials are used to polish the brass
buttons on the uniforms. Underneath
this is room for securing rags, clean
ing cloths and other small belongings
which the marine may wish to take
along with him. In the cover of the
box he keeps scissors, pins and sew
ing materials.
The "ditty boxes" furnished to the
crew of the Detroit are made in the
navy yard aud are of exceptionally
neat workmanship. All are stained a
mahogany color and are highly priced
by those who were fortunate enough
to secure them. In this instance the
recipients were not compelled to pur-
chase the boxes, but will forfeit 81
each if they are not returned in good
ordor when the mems enlistm ent ex-
res. Brooklyn Eagle.

Short Chats on Advertising.

Every large advertiser admits tha
lie made but small beginning.
This is life of change. Man
wearies of monotony-even in adver-
tisements.
The lesson for advertisers to learn
is "don't scatter your ammunition;"
concentrate your fire.
If you wish your prosperity to bo
continuous, make your advertising
continuous. One begets the other.
1t is better to advertise two inches
every day than four inches every other
day. The public must be constantly
reminded of your wares.
Success in advertising does not de.
pend SO much on large expenditure
of money as it does on knowing how
to expend little judiciously.
The primary purpose of retail ad
vertising is to sell specific goods; the
secondary purpose is to make specific
goods advertise the whole business.
When the work is well done both re.
suits follow the single effort.
Advertising is like growth in grace,
if it be successful. One may not go
into it by fits and jerks at long inter.
walls. In grace it is precept upon pre-.
cept, line upon line; here little and
there little, which finally makes
the complete moral man.
Seek after distinctiveness in your
advertising. Is there not some new
feature or characteristic of your bust.
ness which clever illustration will
bring out in forcible manner? Study
your subject from your customer s
point Of view. Study how it would
tit into their needs.
Tho merchant who is doing effec
tive advertising, advertising that sells
goods, would be foolish to change il
just because it does not conform tc
the ideas of some one who sets him
self up as an authority on advertising,
Equally foolish would it be to cling
to style, no matter how highly com
mended by others, which failed te
bring results.
The Galien Mich. Advocate quotes
from an exchange well written edi'
tolial on advertising, advising it's read
ers to "Avoid the loud and mouthJ
style as thing Of evil, and also ad.
vises against the other extreme Of
being too dignifed and prim, because,
as the Advocate says, it leaves an i'm
preston of old "fogyism." Typo.
graphical display, it claims, is of great
importance, and the liberal use of cuts
is advanced as we'll.

TT flowers are worth planting they
are worth caring for. In many in
stances flowers on the farm receive no
care after they are once planted.
They are left to bloom as long as
drought will permit them to, and
then permitted to die. 1t is admitted
that taking care of flowers on the
average farm involves much labor,
though it would be often an easy
matter to make the labor rs light as
it is in the city, where they have
sprinkling facilities. Wherever there
is windmill it is always possible to
provide the means of sprinkling the
garden, the door yard and the flowers.
1t requires only small reservoir and
a line of hose. Bnt however great
the labor that may be required, flow
ers are worth attention and preserva-
tion. There Is only one way to water
flowers, where there is no head of
water aud hose, and that is to pour
the water on them, after the sun has
gone down or early in the morning,
from pail. 1t is useless to use q
springling can. The ground must
have thorough wetting and a
sprinkling cao will not do it, Such
flowers as sweet peas need to be
drenched; you cannot give them too
much water, and, in fact, we seldom
see q flower that can be drowned.
The day following such q generous
application of water stir the soil.
Conclude to grow either weeds or
flowers; never try to grow both in the
same bed. A letter from a subscriber
says that her sweet peas are very
weedy. Well, that is the end of the
sweet peas, ii the condition is a
permanent one. There ought not to
be weed in the flower bed. 1t does
not rclrire much labor to keep the

Quaint Uses of Salt.

Salt was declared by Pythagoras to
be the emblem of justice for as it pre-
serves all things and prevents corrup.
tion, so justice preserves whatever il
animates, and without it all is cor.
rupted. He, therefore, directed that
a salt-cellar should be placed upon the
table at every meal, in order to re-
mind men OF this emblematic virtue Of
salt
Cosmas, tho Egyptian geographer,
stated that salt currency was in use in
Africa in the sixth century; and Marco
Polo wrote that salt was a common
medium of exchange among certain
Asiatic people in the thirteenth cen.
tuly, In Thibet pieces of salt shaped
in a mold and weighing about half a
pound each served as small exchange,
eighty such pieces having a value
equal to about 50.
There is an old proverb that "many
packs Of salt must be eaten together
to bring friendship to perfection.

WE DO NOT SIT CORRECTLY.
Americans Are Generally Careless In Thi,
Important Respect.

Schools for physical culture are now
claiming that we as a nation do not know
how to sit correctly. Americans, they
say, pay less attention to the hygiene
of attitude in sitting than do other
nations, and the consequence is that
we are degenerating into nation OF
dyspeptics. In France and in Ger
many school children get regular
course of instruction as to the correct
attitude to be adopted in sitting, and
in those countries stomach troubles
are far less prevalent than in coun
tries where no precautions are taken
to teach children to sit without relax
ing themselves.
A relaxed position in sitting, it is
said, causes the stomach to be crowd

misplacement becomes chronic. When
the stomach is prolapsed the food can.
not readily fad its way out of it, and,
being retained there longer than it
should be, undergoes fermentation,

rect attitude in sitting requires proper
height and width of seat, a desk OF

work is required, and u proportionate
amount of caro- upon the part of the
pupil to sit upon his seat in proper
position. The height of the chair you
sit in while writing and that of the
desk You write at are matters of great
est Importance. The seat of the chaii
should be exactly one-quarter of youi
height from the floor.
Thus, if you are five feet high, the
chair should be fifteen inches. The
width of the seat should exactly equal
its height, and it should slope back.
ward three-quarters of an inch to the
foot. The back should be trihe
lower than the seat and sloped slight
ly, but not too much. Finally, youi
desk should be two-thirds as high
again as the seat of your chair. Thus,
if your seat is eighteen inches high,
the desk should be thirty inches in
height. The relation of the person to
the seat should be such that while the
hips aud shoulders touch the back OF
the seat, the other portions of the back
remain clear. The centre of the back
cannot touch the back of the seat with.

Irrigation Anon: the Incas.

The scenic. grandeur of the Andes is
nowhere more impressive than along
the canyon of the Rimac River, through
which this railroad runs, and one can
obtain here better than anywhere else
an idea of the struggle which the Incas
made to sustain themselves among
these inhospitable mountains. A sur.
vey OF their remains justiies the esti.
mates that have been made of then
enormous population, and the people
who for centuries herded in these mar.
row valleys left traces of industry and
patience which have a pathos as well
as q deep chronological interest. They
built their dwellings upon the rocks
and carried their dead to be buried in
the desert on the sea coast in order
to utilize every inch of soil in the
mountains for agriculture. They ter
raced every hill and mountain side
like the steps of mighty stairway.
They filled with soil every crevice in
the rocks and brought guano from the
islands of the sea to fertiliZe their
hanging gardens until not an inch OF
surface that could grow stalk of maize
was left unproductive.
Their irrigation system shows as
great engineering skill as that which
made the Orbya Railroad famous.
Their acepuias, which carried water to
the thirsty crops for one thousand
years, are still visible in every direc-
ton, and some OF them are yet in use
by the Indians, who grow corn, wheat
and potatoes on the mighty slopes.
The bitches cling around the hill, sus.
tanned by walls of masonry, and are
frequently carried through tunnels.
Dams and reservoirs were erected to
collect the water that filtered down
from the melting SHOWS aud it was
distributed by regulations similar to
those that govern the present geneM
tions. Lima letter in the Chicago

Chiyalry on a street Cnr. G

That the age OF chivalry is not past
was eYinced the other night on u
North Clark street car. Hundreds Of
people began pouring out of the north
side parks and gardens about 10
o'clock. Many of the young women
being thinly clad, and especially those
having only this lace covering over
the shoulders, suffered visibly from
the cool night air.
One young woman sitting with o
girl friend was heard to remark that
she was cold and that she wished she
had brought her wraps. An elderly
man sitting opposite arose, calmly
took Off his Prince Albert coat, and
politely tipping his hat, asked that
she accept the coat for the protection
of her shoulders. After some urging
the young lady allowed the coat to be
placed around her thinly clad shoul-
ders, while the old gentleman sat
down again as though perfectly I'M
conscious of having done anything
unusual. Chicago News.
