Buried in Class Coffins

The glass coffin in which Tamagno,
the great singer, was buried recently
was not the first which has inclosed a
curious character. There was a mis-
erly Sir Thomas Bancroft, who in Lon
don days heaped up great riches. Even
when his time came to die he could
not bring himself to give his property
away and so he left his estate to be
improved until he should arise again,
which he expected shortly to do. He
had window built in his coffin NOV
able from the interior. and windows
and and a glazed door to his tomb,
and ordered that at frequent intervals
these should be opened and himself
inspected by the trustees. But the
latter has had enough OF the man.
They built almshouses with his estate

rn,,rt.nt v.r,m.nt In Advertising.

I'm 'rtsnt '-svsmsnt In AIvertlsIng.
The creation of General Advertis-
ing Department for the New York Gen.
tral Lines, and the placing in charge
of that department the veteran rail-
road advertiser, George II. Daniels,
who has been for nearly twenty wears
the General Passenger Agent of the
New York Central Railway, marks an
era in the history Of advertising in
America.
The New York Central Lines are the
first great system to create an adver-
tising department which covers all the
railways in their systems, and the far
reaching consequences of such move
ment cannot be appreciated at first
sight, but this action on the part of the
management of these lines emphasizes
the value of advertising generally, and
forces the conclusion of strong belief
in the efficacy of railroad advertising
in particular.
Some idea Of the Importance of this
new department can be had when 1t is
understood that 1t will control the gem
eral advertising in America and in
foreign countries of the New York Cen
tral, Boston and Albany, Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, Michigan Cen
trail. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis, Rutland. and Lake Erie and
Western Railways and their leased
lines, having their Western terminals
at Chicago, ST. Louis and Cincinnati,
and their Eastern terminals at New
York. Boston and Montreal, and em-
bracing more than twelve thousand
miles OF the best equipped railways in
the world.
Mr.. Daniels has for many years been
firm believer in newspaper and magn-
zine advertising. and, therefore, the
organization of the Central Advertis-
ing Department of the New York Cen
trail Lines is of Importance to every
legitimate publication in America,
daily, weekly or monthly.
In an address before the New York
State Press Association few years
ago, Mr.. Daniels made the point that
the railroad is the advance agent of
commerce and that railroad advertis-
ing had been of immense value TO
American manufacturers in calling the
attention of the whole world TO the
excellent work done by our inventors
aYd mechanics, as illustrated In the
Empire State Express, the Twentieth
Century Limited, and other great trains
that connect the East with the West:
the average foreigner arguing that the
men who are able to turn out such ma
chimes must be able to build almost
anything and that the farm machinery,
and all kinds of industrial machinery
uiade in America. must be of the very
best quality. Railroad advertising has
thousands of men here from foreign
countries to investigate our manufac-
lures and has wonderfully increased
our foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and
magazine publication in America will
have direct interest in the General
Advertising Department of the New
York Central Lines, and every adver-
tising agent on the continent will take
new lease of life because of this en-
dOrsemCnt of the value of advertising

Grinding Corn for Hogs.

There is such variation in results
of experiments conducted to ascer-
tain whether it is best to grind feed
for hogs that the individual feeder
is left to be his own judge and to
ascertain for himself whether 1t pays
best TO grind the feed or to feed 1t
whole. My experience has been that
Young animals will chew their feed
better than old ones and that almost
any hog will chew corn very well be-
fore it dries out. While young hogs
will chew dry corn reasonably well
old ones are liable to pass half the
grains unbroken in their voidings.
Last year undertook to fatten stag
five years old and after the corn got
dry he did not, from appearance,
break half the grains.
am now fattening a SOW about the
same age and the same Il true with
her. I am feeding her ground feed
now, however, and feel pretty sure
that It pays me to go to the trouble
of grinding it.
If the grains are not broken it is
clear case that the animal will not
get much benefit from the feed, and
when any considerable quantity of
grains are voided without chewing by
the animal it would seem to be the best
plan to have the feed ground. Of course
it will be some trouble and cost to grind
the feed, but if the animals are not
chewing their feed well the extra
trouble will be amply repaid in extra
grain from the same amount of feed.

WHAT NEW ENGLAND NEEDS
Cheaper Raw Materials and Oper
Markets a Necessity.

New England has two of the fac
tors of wealth-cheap water power and
cheap labor. She needs cheap raw
material and open markets. Without
them she will see her shoe factories
one by one follow her cotton mills in
10 the region of the raw materiall-
West and South. If any man is quail
fed to testify and be heard respect
fully upon this point that man is
Governor William l. Douglas. He has
built up and successfully conducts a
big business employing an army Of
contented men and women, he is a
conservative and he says Massachu-
sets, needs freer trade both in raw
materials and the finished products of
her factories and mills. His successor,
Governor-eiect Curtis Guild. equally
recognizes the gravity of the situation.
Either of these men. if he represented
Massachusetts in the United States
Senate, would work and vote for such
notifications of our trade relations
with Canada, as would permit Mas
sachusetts factories profitable to util-
ize the hides and lumber and coal of
the Dominion. Senator Lodge it is eX-
planned by one of his recent inter
prefers, prides himself upon his
"statesmanlike" recognition of the
fact that Massachusetts cannot get
what she wants" What Massachusetts
needs first and most is a group of men
in Congress who will make a fight for
Massachusetts interests. A states
man is man who builds a state, not
one whip, holding great power and
large responsibility, sits cynically by
and watches the state decline for lack
of stout fighting that might save it.

PRESERVING Cut Flowers.

The usual method Of preserving cut
flowers in a condition OF freshness is
to dissolve small amounts of ammoni-
um chloride, potassium nitrate, sodium
carbonate, or camphor in the water
into which the stems are inserted,
The presence of one or other of these
drugs keeps the flowers from losing
their turgidity by stimulating the cells
to action and by opposing germ
growth. Flowers that have already
wilted are said to quickly revive ii

phor water.
