The Death of Jules Verne.

Jules Verne, who died last week, was
not by any means the greatest French
writer. but his books appealed to the
youthful imagination and the juvenile
mind was fascinated with his happy
faculty OF combining the fanciful with
the real. We can remember Just where
the books used to be kept on the shelf at
the ST. Johnsbury Athen9um and how
eagerly we awaited the appearance OF
new story. They have moved he books
now to another shelf, but the demand
for them still continues and when we
asked the librarian if children still read
Tules Verne we were informed that The
Journey to the Centre Of the Earth" had
lust been brought in. But besides the
enjoyment of reading his many books it
is remarkable that he anticipated so
MANY scientific discoveries. Since read
ing of Capt. Memo and his ship Nautilus
in Twenty Thousand Leagues under
the Sea" we have seen the submarine
boat used in naval warfare; not many
years after we read "From the Journey
to the Moon" and saw in our minds eye
the grewsome dog floating in space. we
have seen a Brazilian astonish the world
with a flying machine. And the list
might be extended and scientific dis
coveries cited from some of his other
works. This little tribute to a great
writer was suggested by something seen
in the New York Times and we echo their
sentiments:
1--WE don't know just how much the
children read Jules Verne today, but one
of the best wishes we can make tor them
is that they may devour those romances
of happenings under the sea and above
the earth and off in space with an avid.
ity equal to our own in those fine old
days when we doubled up in big chair
and forgot our meals because we had
Just obtained another Jules Verne. If
children, now grown up, can give him
peace, he will have it,"

An Advertising Thought.

In talk before the members of the
New England Dry Goods association, at
Young's hotel in Boston, the other night,
N. c. Fowler jr., the advertising expert
had this to say about newspaper adver-
Using:
Without depreciating the value OF any
of the good advertising mediums, tor
there are many, l wish to state en-
phatically and without qualification,
that the newspaper is the best and
cheapest advertising medium for the re-
tail advertiser, and is the only local medi-
um worthy of being called indispensable.
cannot too forcibly impress upon you
the intrinsic value of newspaper adver.
Using space. l base my opinion upon 25
years of actual experience in weighing
advertising values. l am speaking
through the head of experience, and not
through the hat of conceit, nor have |
any seltinterest whatsoever. It makes
no difference to me whether you adver-
tise in the newspaper, or in any other
way, or at all.
The newspaper, from every stand
point logically, psychologically and
practically, is the most natural adver-
Using medium. Advertising belongs to
the newspaper. The reader buys the
newspaper for the advertising as we'll as
for the news; and many woman buys
it almost exclusively for the advertising
she expects to find in it..

Congressman Haskins and the Mileage
Grab.

Mr.. Haskins' home papers are bring
ing ont the facts in his position on the
mileage grab bill and it appears that Mr..
Haskins voted against the bill twice and
would have the third time if he had been
present, and even in his absence be was
paired with democrat to protect him
self against such a contingency. Some
of the papers, therefore, who have in
situated that he lodged the issue will
have to acknowledge their error. The
Brattleboro Reformer gives the facts in
the case and we are glad to give them
circulation in the northern part Of Con.
gress Haskins' district:
When the amendment was offered in
committee OF the whole house, an aye
and no vote was taken and Mr.. Haskins,
by bis own statement, voted no. When the
amendment came before the house Mr..
Haskins was absent. There were also
absent or paired 1877 other members.
Word sent out to the members failed to
reach Mr.. Haskins, who did not know
the vote was being taken. But Mr..
Haskins was paired with Congressman
Henry of Texas, who was for the
amendment. Therefore, for all practical
purposes Mr.. Haskins' vote was against
the paying OF the mileage appropriation.
When the amendment was stricken out
by the senate and the bill returned to the
house, Mr.. Haskins again voted against
it by voting to. concur in the Senate
amendment.
The following extract from the Record
is from the remarks OF Mr.. Hemenway o.
Indiana. His attitude on the question i:
identical with that OF Mr.. Haskins:
"Mr. Speaker, two the strong lawyers
of this house decided that an appropri
alton for mileage was in order on tn,

"Sold For a Tess of POttage."
Written for the CALIFORNIAN

written for the CALEDoNIAN.)
The youth who makes pleasure companion
for life,
Entranced by her circe's song;
Till warnings of conscience are drowned by
her voice,
Is treading the pathway of wrong;
And surely will find when the verdict is told,
For mess of pottage his birthright is
sold"
Or if he makes mammon his partner and God,
And happiness seeks at his shrine
And barriers his manhood for wild greed OF
gain
Regardless of mine, and of thine
He will find in his worship of silver and gold
"For mess. Of. pottage his birthright is
sold"
Should he be allured by the meteor, fame,
And follow it's Will o Wisp course,
With never a thought where its pathway

Or never thought OF it's source
Though he gains the applause of millions
untold
For a mess of pottage his brthright is
