A wholesaler in this city had one Of
the brightest and most impressive lee
lures on advertising read to him by a
country 0ernant last week that he has
ever heard in his life. This country
merchant is not one Of the ordinary
merchants. He is a character in his
way, a Hibernian, and with his full
share of the proverbial wit. This mer-
chant lives in small city of the State,
and buys the better part of his goods
in this city. He'was on a buying trip,
and, passing a wholesale house, he OBJ
served paper napkins In the windows.
He went in to look at them, for he had
sale for such things in his store.
: "An' do ye have paper napkins to
sell? he asked of the wholesaler. He
did have them, he said. AN how the
divil do be KNOWN that We have pa
per napkins to sell, If don't come
down here and happen to see them in
the. windy? Why don't We till a man
ye have paper napkins? Why don't ye
Thin we'd know what We had to SELL"
The merchant told him that he did ad-
vertise in the Bulletin, which was trre.
"Ah, yis," said the merchant. AN
how do ye advertise? Ye put cut of
yer buildin' in the paper. Now, what
the divil do l be wantin to see the cut
O yer buildin' for? l don't care for
yer old buildin'. It's what's in yer
buildin' that interests me. If We have
paper napkins, say We have paper nap
kins, and don't be a showin' us pic
ture of your big store. That's the way
I'm goin' to sell these paper napkins
l am buyin' Of ye. put an advertise
ment In me paper at home to tell the
people of me town thet have paper
napkins to sell and the price they have
to pay for them, and be the powers
they come and buy Thin" This whole
saler told me that he had more good
advertising sense rubbed into him in
ten minutes by this merchant than he
had found in books in the past ten
years.-Hardware Trade.

A NOTED PRIEST.

Life Story of DIR. Edward McGIynn,
st. Mary's Church, Newburgh, N. Y.
Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn, pastor of
st. Mary's Church, Newburgh, n. Y,
who died recently, was an able theol-
ogian and a magnetic speaker. His diff
ferences with Archbishop Corrigan, his
ecclesiastical superior, gave him an in
ternational reputation. He warmly
espoused the doctrines of Henry George
and the sidgle tax theory and made ad-
dresses at political meetings which
served TO widen the breach with those
In authority in the church. Previously
he had declined to establish parochial
schools In the parish of st. Stephens,
of which he was pastor, averring that
the public schools were good enough
He had also dlspleased the archbishop
by the active part he took In the Land
League movement. In 1886 he was
commanded not to make political ad-
dresses. He kept on, however. On
election day. 1886, he rode around the
polling places of New York in a bar
ouche with single tax politicians. For
this he was ordered to Rome to make
explanation Of his conduct to the Sa-
cred College. For refusing to go he
was communicated. Then DR.. Nc
Glynn devoted his time to preaching
his land theories and reorganizing the
Anti-Poverty Society for this purpose
and addressed its meetings frequently.
For five ye9.s the ban was in force

Cost of Living in Paris.

ITO prove that we are economical
young women shall tell you how much
we pay at the pension?" writes a girl
in the Ladies' Home Journal, who, with
a girl companion, is travelling In France
and giving the benefit of her experience
to girls who may go to the Paris Expo
sition this year. "The tariff card, tackled
on the wall Of my rose-twined Marie
Antoinette room, says the price is nine
francs. Then how do come to be paw
ing only seven? One learns over here
to marchander-'to haggle, to bargain
Ii madame's prices read from seven
francs,' and you write to her asking if
she can let you have room and at that
price, she will pobably reply that the
only rooms she has unrented cost ten
francs. But if you are wise enough to
ask her If she has a room for seven
francs the answer will be 'yes' We
are, of course, beyond the pale of the
bathtub, electric lights and big tips; the
maid who cares for our room is satis-
fed to receive modest fee, and it is
with thrill of delight that we pick up
our candlesticks and say goodnight
just as they do in novels. We are com
Portable and happy on two dollars per
day. The fact that we are alone does

When particularly heavy and t,ght.

When II particularly heavy and tight
ly packed drift was to be tackled it was
the custom to place one of the crude af-
fairs in front of from six to ten engines
and charge the drift with flying start
of mile or two. If the drift consisted
of granulated snow frozen into separ-
ate particles, the enormous mass of
iron went through it like heated knife
through butter. In the wake of the
piow came an army of shovelers, whose
duty 1t was to bank the scattered
masses far enough from the track to
prevent them sliding back. This was
difficult enough and victory came only
after herculean labor.
Sometimes 1t happened that the drift
In the cut was composed of damp snow
and had had time to settle and become
packed. Then the perils OF snow-buck.
ing became perils in truth.
The QUICKER with its powerful mo-
tive force of seven or eight locomo-
tives was hurled bodily at the drift and
one Of two results followed. Either
the drift was broken or the Quicker
crumpled up like toy of cardboard.
The fate of the crew of several men de-
pended on what Artemus Ward called
their nat'ral born luck" Stories are
still told Of the catastrophes occurring
during one hard winter many years
ago; of how in one instance QUICKER"
three engines and fourteen men were
buried in mass of snow for ninety
hours, and that when the rescuing
party finally reached them the impris.
oned men were found encased at their
posts like the baker of Pompeii.
To-day there are no such narrowing
tragedies. The invention of the rotary
plow has made the clearing away of
distractions comparatively easy task.
In appearance the rotary plow is like
a huge box car strengthened with
heavy iron girders and plates. The
front end is square and open, and with
in can be seen a great steel-winged
wheel somewhat similar to the ordin-
ary windmill. The edges Of the open
ing slope inward and are strongly re-
enforced with iron. The "auger' or
wheel revolves upon an axle, and as
the plow is forced against the drift the
snow is eaten away and blown through
tunnels pitched at an angle above the
machine.
1t is seldom that more than two en-
gines are required to push the rotary,
as it works by cutting instead of brute
force, like the old-time quicker" Rail
road men are great admirers of the new
order of machine, and they never fail
to praise its efficiency.

No More N',r,gIyrerin Powder.

The manufacture of nitro-glycerln
powder for the use of the army will be
abandoned and the army ordnance de-
partment will adopt pure soluble cot
ton powder, similar to that used by the
navy. The decision for this change is
brought about by an accident which
recently occurred at Sandy Hook while
testing O-inch gun and while us ng
the smokeless powder made for use in
S-inch guns, but with the grains cut in
half. The charge, on this occasion,
gave pressure Of over 10000 pounds,
which exceeded the pressure gauge of
the gun. Several parts of the breech
mechanism were injured.

Drawing some comparisons between
the round and the square barn, Colonel
f. d. Curtis Of Wisconsin writes to
The National Stockman and Farmer
as follows: A neighbor is building one
of the square order 80 by 60 feet, stone
basement, stalls for SO cattle, frame
about 20 feet high to roof, requiring
1000 feet Of lumber for frame. 1t Is
$50 feet around it and has an area OF
1,S00 feet A round barn 60 feet in d.
ameter may have a stone basement
and same height above. more or less
1t will not take half as much lumber
for its frame nor half as much labor to
frame and put it up and be vastly
stronger when completed. The area or
space it incloses is 2,700 feet-half as
much again as the square one compar-
ed with, and the area Of the walls will
be the same. 1t will give space for 40

square barn. room for two round silos
16 feet each in diameter, if properly
filed holding not less than 800 tons, To-
Gated as near as possible in the center
of the circle of the stock to consume
the silage, saving more than half Of the
labor of feeding silage when stored
outside the stable.
The plan of basement here proposed
is designed to make 80 to so cattle COM
Portable In winter. The outside circle
represents the wall Of the barn. Pref
erably would have a circular row Of
stalls around the outside, but this is
broken in upon to give room to drive
In a horse and cart-drive around and
out the same door to clean out the
stable. The stall partitions are to be
hung to a by 10 piece of studding in
the manger and the back end is to be

held In place by sort Of stud button,
a by with one bolt to confine 1t to
the partition, the ends of the stud TO
slide into slots in the floor above and
below, combining the cow in the stall
by chain behind her.
Preferably l would grade into bank
16 feet high above the basement, which
would give space for a. room between
the stable and the floor above. 1t will
be well If we can get an eight foot
bank to drive In over the basement,
better If we can get 16 feet and still
better if we can get "a feet to the ga
BILE. If ridge roof with third pitch,
it would give US about % feet to the
ridge of the roof where we would have
a hay carrier. Our silos going into
the earth ten feet below the stable
could stop at the top floor or could go
some ten feet more to the support Of
the purline, high enough to weight
itself"
A silo located as here rec commended
is scarcely more than 20 feet from any
of the stock.
