NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY.
Guinea Pigs Are Fattened by the Elm
 DIoyment of the Fluid.

Guinea Pigs Are Fattcned by the Elm
 ployment of the Fluid.
 This is the age of electricity, so that one is not surprised to hear that an electric diet has been discovered.
 Naturally, you would conclude that it is designed to aid invalids of weak digestion, but it is something of shock to learn that the latest scientific dis covery has no nobler object than the fattening of pigs!
 Certainly, there Is an element of novelty in the notion of eating electrici- ty fattened pork. Besides, from pigs we may yet rise to higher things.
 Anyway, pr. W. J. Herdman has found out that the galvanic current pro- notes the growth of tissue-that Is to say, the increase of flesh. It had pre- viously been ascertained that plants de- velop more rapidly under the electric stimulus and there was no obvious req son why animals should not be equally responsive to it. Hence the idea of Dr. Herdman, which promises well, though its application cannot as yet be said to have passed beyond the expert mental stage.
 The doctor began his experiments with guinea pigs, half dozen of which he put in each of two cages, taking care that they should all be of exactly the same age, so as to make the conditions of the trial as free from flaw as pos sible. Around one of the cages he strung several wires, through which a current of electricity was passing night and day, while nothing of the kind was done with the other Mean while, for a stated period, the animals in both cages were fed with precisely equal quantity of provender Of tbe same

The employment agencies in Chicago report a great scarcity of men who are willing to go to the country to work. The farmers of the Northwest sent in call for hundreds of men. They offered from SIS to $25 month wages, with board and washing for able-bodied workmen. but comparatively few were found. There is a similar scarcity of railroad laborers. for whose services S1.50 day is offered. The movement of population towards the cities seems to have reached the stage where, if the country Is not partially depopulated, it Is at least left without sufficient help during the spring and fall, when the greatest amount of work is to be done Rn a farm This is in the face of the

There seems little reason to doubt that at a certain point a man ceases to own his possessions; instead, they own him. If he prizes his grandeur he is haunted by the thought of its perisha- ble character; if he does not prize it he might just as we'll be poor, for all that any man can get out of life is his board 'and clothing The trouble is that, in order to give some people a great deal more than they need, numerous others have to go through life with much less than they need.

In the many periodicals which are devoted to the advertising business the difficulty of making an advertisement effective has been exaggerated. Any merchant or other business man who knows all about his establishment has only to talk to the public about his stock exactly as he would talk to a single prospective customer of intelll- gence. The chief benefit of newspaper advertising is in the fact that it en- ables the business man to tell his story to thousands at once.

The brains that manage a $5OO,OOO business could just as well manage a $1,000,O00 business. Especially true in manufacturing. Ten per cent increase in production doesn't materially in- crease expense. Ten per cent decrease in production doesn't materially lessen the expense. Reduction comes out of net profits. Increase adds directly to profits. If 10000 women know that you make the best cotton, or the best braid or the best hook and eye, you will do a certain amount of business-if 100000 know it, you will do more business-if 100000 know it, more still.
