Famous Loving Cups.

Some of the old loving cups were
called grace cups. OF the specimens
now in possession of the English guilds
and corporations the most famous is
the Henry VIII. grace cup, which De-
longs to the B.rberS' company of Lon
don. With its four glObular bells hang
ing around the outer rim, says the
jewelers. Circular, this cup might well
excite the envy of even the most hon
est collector OF silverware. The name
OF the cup is derived from the fact
that King Hal was the donor, the
grace cup being intended to commem-
crate the union of the BARRIERS with the
guild Of surgeons. The cover carries
the Tudor rose, portcullis and feur-de-
lis, the final of the lid being mounted
with the imperial crown, the English
and French arms being beneath, sup
ported by the lion and greyhound.
The SINNERS company has a pea
cock cup, though it Is in the form Of q
peahen. This large silver bird, with
three chicks at her feet, stands on the
silver badge. which was formerly worn
by the company's barge master, land
around it are the engraved words,

VENUS OF MILO.
Tho Famous Ancient Statue In the
Louvre at Paris.

The Famous Ancient Statue In the
Louvre at Paris.
The Venus Of Milo in the Louvre,
Paris. is supposed by some to be the
work of Alexandros, one of the Asiatic
Greek sculptors. 1t is said that the
base of the statue bearing the artists
name was destroyed for the purpose or
causing the king Of France to believe
that the work was more ancient than
1t really was.
1t was discovered on the island Of
Milo in 1920 by peasant. 1t was IN
a niche in a wall which had been
buried for years. The Marquis of Ri
we're bought it and gave 1t as a present
to Louis XVIII. Of France. 1t is made
from two blocks of marble Joined above
the drapery which envelOpS the legs.
As 1t now stands it has two blemiShes,
which have been repaired by modern
artists. The tip of the nose was bro
ken when it was found and also the
foot which projects beyond the dra-
perry
In point Of fact, it has a great deal
more resemblance to Il goddess than
to a beautiful woman. At one time 1t
was dressed in clothes Of modern
sort. and the effect was anything but
pleasing. The figure Of the statue is
not at all adapted to modern clothes

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
improving a countys Highways Sent
Price of Land Up.

Bradley county, Tenn, covering S2o
sonare miles of territory, had an as
sessment valuation equal to 50 per acre
and an average tax rate of S1.85 per
500 when agitation in favor Of good
roads began there. After q long and
earnest struggle the advocates Of i'm
provement were able to carry by
small majority a measure which pro
ylded for the issuing of bonds for $780,
300, to be used for improving their pub
lie thoroughfares. Opponents OF the
scheme fought 1t In the courts and thus
held back the work Of advancement,
but the courts decided that these bonds
would be valid and ordered that they
should be issued.
Warned by the hostility which had
so delayed their work, the advocates OF
good roads began cautiously to carry
out their undertaking In such n way as
should make converts II not warm
friends Of their opponents. Competent
engineers were engaged TO plan and TO
direct the work, and the most efficient
machinery was bought. every part or
the work was done In the best way
practicable and every care taken to get
the best results for the money.
BEFORE half o. this 100000 was spent
FL parts Of IN, county clamored for ad-
dltlonal r1orey for read Improvement
of all Their roads. and there wns'llttle
if any opposition to providing for an
issue Of $leG.C00 worth Of bonds for
this purpose.
\ result Of this WAS that lands which
could not find buyers at So to so an
acre so long az the roads were either
dry. dusty and rorGh. steep and badly
ali.ned or wet. muddy and stony were
easily salable at $50 to $50 per acre
even before the work of making the
roads good was completed. Another re-
suit Is that the county seat has gained

and is consequently growing In popu-
lation, In prosperity and In ability to
pay larger share each new year OF

WHO PAYS THE ADVERTISING

Who pays for advertising?

as l am quite sure that do not. The
hat merchant who advertises, assum-
eng that he knows how, can sell hats
for $3.50, while the same quality OF
hat must bring SO in a store of the
merchant who does not advertise.
Get this point then fixed clearly IL

ic saving, and not an extra expense.

garding advertising he told me his
business was not one that could be
probably advertised and that he could
not afford to advertise. ] suggested
10 this merchant that he spend one
half of the net profits of his business
in advertising and he adopted my
suggestion with the result that his
business for 1906 was three and one
half times his business of 1905. His
profits were sufficient to pay his ex-
ponses, to pay for his advertising, to
pay him S2s5 per month more than
he had been accustomed to draw for
himself, sufficient to enable him to
increase his stock OF goods, as his
added sales furnished additional capt
