If Advertising Stopped.

Advertising is the life blood of bus
mess. 1t allows merchants to make
their announcements and tells the
people where they Can get what they
want and how much it will cost.
If anything checks advertising bus
mess feels it at once and stops, not
relatively, but actually.
There was a notable example of this
on the first day Of March last in Chi
cago. Because of strike that was
afterwards declared to be irregular,
the newspapers OF Chicago en- masse
refused certain demands. The result
was that all of the dailies appeared on
that day without advertisements. The
novelty of the situation attracted at
tention, but the effect Of it was not at
first noted. The streets of the city
had holiday appearance. There
were no strap hangers in the street
cars, no crowds in the department
stores. In most stores the statesmen
stood idle. There was nothing doing.
1t was a practical demonstration Of
the influence and the value of adver-
Using.
Fortunately the strike ended in a
single day, but the merchants who
lost days sales will never forget the
effect of having nothing to say to the
people of the city. Editorial in Jer-
sey City journal.

Alike In One Respect In Sardinia. That
Both Are Perlis.
Sardinia is an island of many perils.
One of them. we gather from the ex-
perience of Mr.. Crawford Fitch, the
author Of Mediterranean Moods" is
the railways. 1.-THE engine" he says,
as continually making frantic dashes
for the scenery. On the line to Tortoli
made four journeys and had three
accidents. On one occasion, after
car had been wrecked. the various en-
ployees gathered round the wreckage
and spent the remainder of sultry
afternoon in bitterly disputing the
proper apportionment of blame for the
accident. As 1t was impossible to pro-
coed that evening / spent the night at
the railway station and enjoyed COM
fort that ! found nowhere else In the
island"
Another peril is the dogs. who do
not hesitate to attack stranger, even
when he is walking peaceably upon
the highroad. 1.-THE breed is particu-
larly ferocious, and It Is said that the
peasants have way of stimulating
their ferocity by tying bladder filed
with blood to the neck of dummy
man and encouraging the animal to
spring at the neck and tear open the
bladder"

COOKING A HEDGEHOG.

Bake It In Clay Into Solid Mass and
Carve II With an Ak.
When a Maine Indian has the choice
of hedgehog, skunk, woodchuck
and muskrat for dinner he will Sc
lect the first named invariably and
take the skunk as second choice, leav-
ing the woodchuck. which Is the only
one of the lot n Maine white man will
taste, to the last. Unlike the skunk
and the woodchuck. which are lean
and unsavory except for few months
in the fall. or the muskrat, which Is
never fat and which has a strong
flavor In spite of parbolling. the hedge
hog is always In edible condition and
has meat that is as tender and white
rs that of spring chicken.
The method of cooking hedgehog
is so simple that novice can learn in
one short lesson. When the epicure Is
permitted to make a choice he should
shun the large old males, which at
times weigh thirty or forty pounds.
The preparation consists in removing
the viscera, washing out the interior
and filling the cavity with slices of
fat pork. peeled raw potatoes, sprigs of
spearmint and wild celery from the
brook.
Then, without removing the quilts or
skinning. the body is plastered thickly
with wet clay from the nearest bank.
The muddy, bulky mass Is thrust into
live Goals and covered with blazing
fagots to be roasted for two hours.
On removal from the Goals, the clay
Is found to have been baked into a
hard and solid mass. which must be
broken open with an AK or heavy
stone. whereupon the skin and quilts
Of the animal cling to the clay wrap
ping and fall away, leaving the clean
white meat ready TO be eaten.-New

UNIVERSITY OF FRANCE.
Essentially the Same Today as When
Established by Napoleon.

Established by Napoleon.
In the United States there are many
universities which are free from state
control, but in France there is only
one university, and 1t is an absolute
instrument of the state. 1t is true
that there are schools Of higher learn
ing, which were founded in 1870 aa
universities. but FIVE years afterward
the title was withdrawn, and they are
now called '1nstituts." They are FIVE
I'm number and are located in Paris,
Lille, Lyons, Toulouse and Anglers.
But the University of France is an
entirely different organization. 1t is
the official school. 1t is centralized in
Paris and has under 1t vast multi
tude of establishments. faculties, col
]ege and primary schools, distributed
over the whole surface of the country.
Directly or indirectly they all depend
on the government.
The university was established by
Napoleon, and in spite of certain modl-
1cations which 1t has undergone dur
ing years 1t is the same today In its
essential elements as the day he
founded It. Just as he established the
entire civil administration. with its
projects. subprefects, judges, minis
tiers of finance, SO he created in 1905
this vast educational organization,
with Its countless professors. who con-
troll the entire intellectual training Of

Gattinn tho Exact SPOT.

An emergency call from policeman
for tape measure kept two women
waiting in the dressmaker's parlor for
Ave minutes. There were other tape
measures there which the dressmaker
might have used. but she was too
busy bordering the circumstance that
had suddenly converted her into an
ally of the police department Pres
emily the policeman returned the tape.
"what did you want 1t forT' she
asked.
"To help find the right place to shoot
n horse with broken leg" he said.

BAEFLED THE INDIANS.
An Old Army Paymastsrs Safe THAT
Was Anache 4roof.

I NdS NRANtt@ tSNis
Years ago In the west. when the gov
eminent sent out safes for the use OF
its army paymasters in remote dis
trtets. It was the custom for the pay
master in cavalry service to ride In an
ambulance with the safe, escorted oy
a guard of six mounted men.
On one occasion such guard was at
tackled by large force Of Apache In
dams. Two men were killed, and the
Indians captured the ambulance with
the safe. This safe contained about
$4,000 In greenbacks, and 1t weighed
some 400 pounds and had a combina-
ton lock.
Now, the Indians In question nad
never seen a safe at close quarters
until this one happened along. but they
knew that It contained money; also
they wanted that money.
They FIRST pounded off the knob with
stones, under the impression that the
door could then be pried open. Their
attempt was, of course, failure. Tne
next step was to try their tomahawks
on the chilled steel in the hope that
hole might be cut In 1t. This means,
too, proved of no avail, so they de-
termined to try fire. Accordingly
they gave the safe a three hour roast
Ing. Luckily for the government, it
was f1reproof. They threw big rocks
upon it while 1t was hot. but they were
as far from the money as ever.
Next the Apaches dragged the safe
ND the side of mountain and tumbled
It over a precipice 200 feet high. They
expected, of course, to see 1t burst
open, but the only damage was slight
injury to one of the wheels. The safe
was left soaking In the river for three
or four days. and great was the In
dams disappointment at finding them
selves still baffied.
Then they tried gunpowder; but,
knowing nothing Of the art of blast
ing, they brought about an explosion
that burned half dozen warriors and
left the safe none the worse.
The Indians worked over that safe
of and on for month or more. but
failed to get at the inside. Finally. In
disgust, they left 1t in deep ravine.
Fourteen months later. when peace
came, the army accidentally found the
safe. 1t was lying In the bed or
creek with a great pile Of driftwood
around 1t. 1t was sad looking safe,
but when opened showed its contents

a Bridue of Ants,

A species of ants which spin silk is
common in hot countries. The ants
nest in trees. binding the leaves to-
gether to make their nests. The silk
used for this purpose is not secreted
by the adult ants. but by the larvae.
In order to attach the silken threads
and draw the leaves together the ants
must carry the larvae about from leaf
to leaf. When two distant leaves are
to be drawn together remarkable
method is employed. Five or six ants
form chain bridging the gap between
the leaves, each gripping the waist Of
another In Its mandibles. A number OF
such chains will cooperate In bringing
two leaves together.
