ST. VALENTINES DAY.
How It Appeals to Akron PeopIe---Brief Sketch
Of Origin and Early Customs.

1t will doubtless be surprising to
many of Akron's citizens to know that
during each season $1,000, O,worth or
valentines are sold in this city. AL
though tbe valentines purchased here
are largely distributed among Akron.
people, the sale of the goods has al
ready begun, and dealers anticipate
a good trade.
A local dealer was asked what class
of people patronized the valentine
counter best, and he replied that 1t
was not confined to any particular
class. Quite number of high-priced
valentines are sold, but by far the
greater bulk Is made up Of the well
known penny caricature type. Not
more than one-flfth of the money OK.
pended for valentines is for the better
class of goods, and as many cheap
comic valentines are sold to the rich
and prominent people, as are sold TO
those in humber station. Every
body buys comic Valentines said
the dealer, and a great many of these
are sent to officials and professional
men. People who are holding private
positions of trust and influence are
also regarded as targets for the COME
valentine. Very often the caricature
sheet, with its fierce and disrespectful
verses is sent as reproof or evidence
OF dislike for the person to whom it
is sent A great many valentines
are purchased by employees of the
shops and factories. and if the "boss-
| es'' and foremen have been harsh or
unreasonable with their men, such
persons are sure to get called down
by the anonymous system when Val
entine Day comes"
The pretty and more expensive VAL
entines are purchased by young men
who send them as tokens of respect
and affection to their sweethearts.
Young ladies buy very few valentines.

the place of the tender and modest
billets characteristic of the day not
many ages ago. The olden-time OBJ
servance Of the day was made the
occasion Of great sociability. Young
men and younz women assembled, and
writing their names upon cards placed
them In baskets, the girls placing their
cards In one basket, and the young
men theirs In another. Then the
baskets were shaken vigorously, aud
a lottery drawing began. This wan
followed by a ceremony similar to that
known as the game of forfeits. The
young men drew cards from the
basket containing the names of young
ladies, and vice versa. The persons
whose names were on the cards were
called valentines, and so-'he Is your
valentine, and you are his" The staI
old historians even digress from their
usual dryness to say that "this little
sport often ends in love ana mar
riage."
The celebration of the day was Oh,
served in England and Scotland in the
18th century. and earlier IN the Ro-
man Empire. st. Valentine, in honor
of whom it Is generally believed the
day was named, has very little con.
nection with it. The use of his name
was made a virtue of very apparent
necessity. st. Valentine. a priest of
Rome, was beheaded in the third ceu-
tury. For long time afterwards.
the historian tells us, nothing was
done TO perpetua his name, until
it became a universal practice In an
cient Rome to celebrate the Luper-
Gala, feasts to Pan and Juno. These
feasts were always celebrated in Feb
ruary, and the pastors of the early
Christian churches, to obIiterate the
Pagan practices and superstitions,
substituted the names of saints for
those representing the festivals, as ar,
ranged by the Pagan worshippers.
1t seems that the plan was good
one, for ever since, we have had our
st. Valentines Day.

The question has been asked, Is 1t
possible to sail 1000 miles from land =?
This can be done at several points. By
leaving San Francisco and sailing
northwestward into the north Pacific a
spot is reached where there is no land,
not even an islet, for 1000 miles in any
direction. So, too, sailing from the
southern point Of Kamchatka south
eastward ships reach point equally
distant from land Of any kind, the
nearest to the north being the Aleu-
tian islands and to the south the
outlying members Of the Sandwich
group. In the southern Indian ocean
it is possible to sail 1000 miles out
from the southern points Of Australia
and New Zealand and still be as far
from any other land and the same may
be done in westerly direction from
Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point
a much longer distance might be reach
ed, for the southern Pacific between
the Horn and New Zealand covers a
space of so degrees of longitude and
40 of latitude of absolutely unbroken
sea, making its central point over 1900
miles from anywhere.

SOME WISE DON'TS.

Don't confound hauteur with dignity
or repose with stupidity.
Don't "howl," "roar" or explode"
To laugh heartily is better.
Don't pose. Affectation is a bar to
respect, let alone confidence.
Don't groan over the wickedness Of
the world, but mend your own.
Don't boast, The illterate and the
self conscious are thus made manifest
Don't use saperlatives. Few things
require them, and they weaken descrip-
ton.
Don't preach unless you have prac-
ticed. Deeds are tremendously con-
vincing.
Don't think a foreigner can compre-
bend you any better if you shout into
his ear.
Don't forget that politeness is the
foster sister of diplomacy and an es-
sential tact.
Don't appraise a book at another's
valuation. Critics are not censors alb

abundant In Newfoundland waters that
the most wanton slaughter of them
was permitted without any restriction
whatever. Seines were allowed to re-
tain 1000 or 1000 barrels of the fish
until they persisted, and then the net
was freed, and the whole contents fell
to the bottom to pollute the ocean for
miles around. When a poaching smack
was captured, the herrings it had on
board were all thrown into the sea, and
frequently boats when chased resorted
to the same means to get rid of incrlm-
mating evidence. The fish then fetched
only 80 cents barrel of 500 herrings.

PERFUMED CIGARS.
The Ones General ROsecrans Once
offered to a Friend.

The Ones General ROsecrans Once
offered to a Friend.
One of the stories told by old en-
ployees in the treasury department al
Washington is of the time when Ger
eral Rosecrans was register. The gen
eral never smoked and knew nothing
about cigars. He determined, however,
to have box of good cigars handy for
the benefit of friends who might drop
into the registers office. The general
accordingly purchased box Of expen-
sive cigars, put them in drawer and
forgot all about them for some time.
Then, one day, when a friend was cali
ing, the general remembered the cigars
and brought them out.
II know nothing about CIGARS" said
Rosecrans, "but l am told that these
are very fine"
His friend lighted cigar, and look
of pain and horror instantly overspread
his face. He tried to conceal his feel
ings and pulled manfully at the cigar
for several seconds. Then Rosecrans,
noticing that he was growing pale, ask
ed what was the trouble.
General" said the visitor, 81 don't
want to be ungrateful, but I'm afraid
it's this cigar"
Impossible" exclaimed Rosecrans.
"Why, when 1 bought them l was told
that they were the finest cigars on the
market"
"Well, general, you were deceived.
The cigar tastes and smells exactly as
If 1t were made of camphor."
"Camphorw stammered Rosecrans,
looking chapfallen. "Why, 1 never
thought, but perhaps camphor does in
jure a cigar" And, reaching into the
drawer, he brought to view several gar
ments filled with camphor balls. do
you suppose that can be the trouble?"
he inquired.
