DAZEO ENGLAND WITH AN AD." ="

The Original Progenitor of Liberal Adj
vertisinG still Living in New York
Some of the nabobs of the present
dav advertising world who think they
are ''the only pebbles on the beach -
ought to take trip to Poughkeepsle
and listen to the advertising narratives
an old man there may relate to them
And the old man can substantlate his
narratives with facts and proofs, and
is not mere yarn spinner like many
Of his degenerate successors. HIS
name is De Linton Wing, and years
ago he won for himself the little OF
''progenitor of liberal advertising by
his extensive advertising of lannon's
brand of -four of which he was the
proprietor.
It is said that at one time he was
worth $50, 600, 600, bat lost his for
tune partly by speculation in buying
newspapers.
One Of Mr.. Wings greatest adyer-
tising feats, according to the Albany
Press-K Knicke erbocker, was the lnser-
ton in the London Times, much to
the surprise Of the slow going Brltons
of n full-page advertisement OF his
famous brand of tionr. 1t was claim
ed as Joke that Mr.. Wing, who alone
had the secret and the patent for the
manufacture of the Julian mills flour,
introduced in the ingredients MOST
ening Of alcohol and hops that gave
puugency upon which many a family
was mildly exhilarated every morning
at b eakfast, and he had as a part OF
his business accounts a letter from
Lord Palmerston, prime minister OF
England, in which the latter express
ses the thanks of Queen Victoria and
her ministry for bags of his flour, be-
cause as the minister said, of its ele-
waiting effects at each meal,
In the advertisement in the London
Times Mr.. Wing had such striking
lines as these: Julian Mills see the
Queen; "Palmerston gets his Julian
cakes early and saves England's honor
by reason of the daring spirit they in
fuse into him" In the middle Of the
pare was a wood cut-a most terrible
innovation for the London Tlmes-of
Mr. Wing seated between the Queen
and Lord Palmerston, who are both
heoging him to come to England and
live at Windsor. TO this Mr.. Wing
responds: Il am an American soye-
reign, greater than the British
crown"
One of Mr.. Wings greatest enter
pr.ses was during the. great celehra-
ton Of 1853, over the Atlantic cable.
Albany turned out III great procession
at the head of which was a great
wagon of d. L. Wing, made entirely
of -four barrels. Sixteen -four bar
rels served as wheels and thousands
of barrel slaves formed an awning
over the body Of the wagon, on which
fifty young ladies in bakers dress
were conducting mimic bakery Of
the Julian cakes. Thousands of Alban-
ians were gratuitously served with
bread that day from the Julian mills
flour, and at the home of yearly every
poor family in the ward in which Mr..
Wing lived were left that night bar
rel of -four and photograph of Wing
and Queen Victoria.

Organ Grinders DO Not Garry Them Her,
&awnHayG

OrGan-Grinders DO Not Garry Them Her
Nowadays.
A man who had missed the monkeys
formerly carried about by organ grind
ers in the city streets, and who Ia |
attributed their disappearance to the
changed conditions Of the organ
grinding business, to the substitution
of the big piano-orSan on wheels, man
aged by two persons, for the 3ld-tash-
ioned smaller hand-orGaD, that was
carried about by the playeT, found,
upon inquiry, that, whatever influence
the changed conditions might have
had, the carrying OF monkeys by
organ grinders is now prohibited here
bv a city ordinance There are, how
ever, places in which the monkey still
forms a valuable part Of the organ
grinders outfit, and where the nlmble
little animal clal in an embroidered
jacket, and wearing fancy hat, which
it dOIfs for the pennies, still elm bs
fences and TainWater conductors, and
hops up on porches quite IN the Old
familiar way, in search OF contribu-
tions. While monkeys are not per
mitted here, there are men who buy
monkeys and train them to sell to
organ grinders, " no can use them else

fewer monkeys now imported, bat the
fact appears to be that, ii anything,

creased demand from the show people,
who are, after all, the greatest Iur-
chasers Of monkeys Ill this country.
The organ grinders use cons-dera-

sold for geological objections, and in
recent years few haze been sold for
pets; but the largest buyers Of mon

there are, besides the great, modern,

other mode shows cape with long
kersey skirts to the hem Of the dress
and then over this to the hip falls an
other cape of fur, and it is perfectly
patent that the long-haired pelts are
to be first in the hearts OF our country
women this year.
Long cloth coats that might easily
be called ulsters and made Of broad
cloth, vienna or Venetian cloth, are
out on the Chesterfield and Raglan
pattern. IA those for men are modelled
their pockets are ample and the one
feminine suggestion is the tall, up
rolled collar, often lined with Inole's
fur that gives the tenderest, most
grateful touch to the face possible,
and the smoked peargray color, which
forms a soft becoming background for
the face. The majority Of these long
coats are made 10 fasteu with the but
tons out OF sight, or one or two very
choice cut steel disks hold the fronts
together and twinkle IN the soft, deep
hair.
There is q pretty fashion coming in
Of using buliet-shaped buttons OF
brass as trimmings on sleeves and
yokes aud the fronts Of cloth suits.
These are copies Of the buttons thai
small boys in livery wear, and they
are not the first brass ornaments that
have crept into women's wardrobes
Brass Is evidently the successor tc
much Of the popularity accorded tC
gun metal, and by treating it to higl
polish and oyeriayirg 1t with a pc
culiar lacquer it neither loses its lus
ter nor conveys any ugly odor to the
hands.

LOSING OF GAMING A DAY.
a Dinaculty That Is Inevitable Under ou

ADificuIty That Is Inevitable Under Our
Present system of Reckoning.
"Where Day is Lost or Gained, -
is the title ofapaper in the Century IN
which Benjamin L. Smith, editor of
The Century Dictionary tells of the
difficulty of reckoning the days OF the
week, in travelling east or west
ward.
The difficulty that may lie in a
matter apparently 50 simple IS well
shown in one of Pce's stories. The
obdurate father of the maiden-evi-
IDENTITY with the Greek calends i'll
mind-promises to give her the OBJ
iectioDable swain when three Sundays
occur in one week. TO his cons, ,erra-
ton, and the jov Of the lovers, this
seemingly impossible event indublta-
bly, happens when two se1 captains APP
pear together upon the sea who have
c;rcumnavigated the globe in op-
posite directions.
AS matter Of TACT, this bit Of tic
ton represents what is taking p ace
every 4 " il the year, AMI must con
tinue to occur as long as our present
method OF reckoning time is re,ained.
Aud the reason for this Is simple and
familiar. The civil day begins and
ends at midnight, but for convenien
of explanation let us assume laS IS the
practice Of astronomers that the day
! begins at noon and euds ut the fol-
lowing noon. 1t is clear that the in
teryal OF time between two successive
moons will he, for us, u hours IA day
as measured by one complete rotation
Of the earth only when We remain on
the same meridian. For i at noon on
the beginning of Monday we move,
say over q space Of - degrees toward
the east, it is obvious that when the
sun again stands at noon, for Us, only
% hours will have elapsed since we
/ shall have accomplished one oath OF his
| Journey for him; that i, Tuesday will
begin, for us, one hour too soon.
! Similarly, if we repeat this eastward
movement, Wednesday will begin two
| hours too soon; and SO on until, when
| our starting point is reached. We shall,

| ahead in our reckoning. The result
will be that, instead of ending the
/ Journey in ~ days as we seem to dol
and on Wednesday, we shall actually
/ complete it in % days and on Tues

| westward, in this way, the reverse
vii happen; our days, as measured
! from noon, viii be - hours long, and
we shall actually complete the trip IN

strands would hold it. Fiercely and
determinedly the painting boy worked
on. The mad clangor of the wild en-
gine drew nearer and nearer, till the
wood about him rang with the sound.
But not one glance did he spare from
his task to see how close the monster
might be.
Just as he had looped and knotted
tho iest foot OF rope, with kissing,
roaring rush the wild engine plunged
into the hempen net.
Snap snap snap like rapid pis-
tol-shots, went the first strands of
rope, as they burst asunder before the
mighty shoulders of the iron horse.
Then the stubborn net work began to
tell on the strength of its captive, huge
and powerful though the latter was.
The sixth tough cable strained and
creaked ere it broke. the seventh
snapped, but not until it had almost
thrown the iron horse back upon his
launches, and at the eighth the shin
ing monster stopped, its driving wheels
spinning madly round upon the rails,
and the steam kissing shrilly from its
valves, as if in conscious spite.
Even before the wild engine had
come to a standstill, Arthnr Severson
sprang for the step and clambered up
into the cab Then he threw over the
great lever and soothed the throbbing
monster, till it lay quietly pAnting in
the midst of its tangled net of ropes.
At that moment the passenger train
came in sight far up the track. In
few moments it drew in upon the sid
ing; and train-men and passengers
came crowding around the engine,
where the pale and exhausted young
telegraph operator sat, with his hand
still on the lever. The story of the
wonderful rescue of No. 40 was not
long in reaching official ears; and IN
less than two weeks Arthur Severson
found himself established in the train
despatcher's office, filling an import
ant position and drawing a liberal
salary. He was not at all inclined to
pose as a hero, however, but would
modestly reply, when complimented

shirt waists Slil ihin@S OF beauty.
Among the really indispensable
things exhibited in the shops are the
new shirt waists. Notwithstanding
the fact that these comfortable gar
ments have been in vogue many years
and each season some one asserts that
they are ''gojng oat, - they are still in
great demand.
Styles vary. aud special designers
in the large shops always are working
out novelties. The new flannel and
silk waists merit going a long dis
tance to see, for they are beauties,
and not at all expensive. OF course,
the best are tailor made, as they
should be to have the quiet style so
necessary in this garment; but OF all
things worn by woman the shirt waist
IS, perhaps, the only article which can
be made at home and really look the
real thing. There are good patterns,
which fit, too, and if the maker is
careful abort stitching well and press
ing correctly, she can turn out really
good waist.
But silk ones arc another story,
with their endless number of tiny
tucks; the delicate hemstitching: the
rolled edges, with narrow embroidery
slipped in, and all the perplexing de-
tails. So much depends upon the set
at the back, the hang of the. sleeve.

all, the cravat, that it is small wonder

of picking it up to throw. He wanted
to see what the bugs were going to do.
And then a very curious thing hap
pened.
The bit of slope had become too
steep for the disabled bug to climb,
and his companion. as though appre-
ciating the situation, seemed to be
studying some way out of the diff
Guilty. Presently he moved to posi-
ton in front of his friend and fattened
himself as closely as possible to the
ground. After little hesitation, the
disabled bug climbed by slow and
painful degrees upon his back and was
borne up the slope and into the grass.
Bobby gave a low, expressive
whistle, then lay back upon the grass
and gazed long and earnestly at a
cloud that was floating overhead. At
length he rose slowly, and did not
even look at the grass where the bugs
had disappeared. Down upon the
lawn he could see a slight futtering.
It was the robin he had hurt. and he
went down and caught the bird in
spite of its dazed efforts to get away.
He carried it into the house to his
mother.
''I shot il, mamma, he said, simply

\ Rat Tint Clutches NIice.

Forbes Baker Of Steuben, Ne, has
one Of the most remarkable mousers
in the country in trained rat. H0v-
iae driven all the rats and mice away
from his own premises, the rat is now
doing odd Jobs for the neighbors.
This rats odd proPensities are no
doubt due to the influence OF his
adopted mother-a big Maltese cat,
owned by Mr.. Baker aud rated the
best mouser in Stouben. Last winter
she gave birth to kittens One day
She came upon a Young rat and took it
to her kittens. Mr.. Baker supposed
that she intended to give her young
ones their first lesson III the art of rat
killing, but the old cat had no such
intention. for, instead of Offering TO
iuiure the helpless creature, or allow
ing her kittens to do SO, she adopted
the raj aud made him useful factor
in her household. The kittens, too,
seemed to take to the rat, and as the
rat grew apace with them, ate, slept
and payed with them, they accepted
him as a brother and were contented.
When. later, the mother cat began to
teach her children TO catch mice and
rats, as a means OF livelihood, the rat
entered with much spirit into the
game. Finally the old cat saw that
her adopted child was about the most
ardent rodent hunter Of the lot, despite
his ancestry, a1d she seemed satisfied,
aud at once sent them all out to make
their own way in the world. Mr.
Baker disposed of the kittens, but kept
