April is a month made notable by
greet events' in American history.
Tbe first great struggle for American
liberty broke into hostilities al Lexing
ton and Concord about tbe middle of
April, 1776; the war between the Con
federate state* and tbe United State*
began io April, 1861; in April of 1862
Farrugut captured New Orleans, and
in April, 1866, came the surrender of
tbe Army of Northern Virginia at
v Appomattox Court House. Again the
month of April is upon «», and :, again
the times are pregnant with history*

Peter Cooper, wbo died worth a
million dollar*, gave some good advice
to tbe borines* men of every town
when be said: “la all towns where a
newspaper is published every man
•should advertise in it, if nothing more
than a eard staling his name and tbe
business bo is engaged in. It nearly
always pay* tbe advertiser, and besides
lets the peoplf nffiMistance know that
tbe town in which you reside is a
prosperous commuffity of business and
that tbe people may aettle in it with a
chance to make s|living. Never pull
in your sign in a home paper while
you expect to do business.”

RIP VAN WINKLE.
XeflEeraoa Discovers Something Incongru
ous About Hi* Celebrated Ptay.
Joe Jefferson calls attention to an in
teresting fact regarding Bip Van Win
kle. He says:
“There is oue incongruity in Bip Van
Winkle which is seldom criticised.
Possibly none of you ever noticed it
Indeed, I will confess that until recent
ly the fact never occurred to me with
any force. Well, you cduld never guess,
so I will tell you. It is this: Bip Van
Winkle is the only person in the play ?
who speaks English with a slightly
broken Dutch accent. All of the other
characters are obliged to content tbem
•elves with ordinary English.
“It heightens the effect for Bip to
speak as be does in broken accents, but
if all the other characters were to at
tempt a dialect there would be such a
variety of accent that the effect would
be incongruous and ridiculous. All the
feeling ted sentiment of the play would
be lost in this polyglot attempt at dia
lect
“Several years ago a man engaged to
play Nick Vodder came on at rehearsal
and commenced to talk'in the broadest
low Dutch accent I stopped him at
once, but in his own defense be ex
claimed:
" ‘But Nick Vedder would talk that
way, wouldn't he, if Bip Van Winkle
did?’
“ ‘Tea,'l replied, ’be would, but you
mustn’t’ And no doubt the man
thought me very unreasonable. But this
only illustrates the point that many
things apparently Illogical must be done
on the stage to secure effect by inspir
ing the imagination- Absolute realism
would be fatal. Under certain condi
tions it is tbe necessity of dramatic art
to make the impossible seem real.

MeMurea,of Distance. _
A traveler in Florida says that on be
ing asked how far a certain place was a
native replied: “Waal, I reckon hit’*
’bout two whoops. P’r’ps bit may be
some furder, ” he continued reflectively,
“but I ’low hit ain’t more’n two whoop*
an a holler.” In Arkansas they will tell
you it is two looks and a go by, mean
ing you are to pass two bouses and And
your destination just beyond the next
In other ports of the west, it is said,
the natives ’ measure distances in
“chaws” of plug and will tell you your
destination is about “two chaws” away.
The Scottish way is to say, "It’s a far
cry, ” meaning it is about os far as one
can shout, while in many cases distance
is measured in time, the German
“stunde” doubtless having its origin
thus.
Perfumed Cloth I* Now Sold.
Druggists in New York keep a per
fumed cloth that is sold by tbe yard. It
is imported and is by some process
known to perfumers saturated with a
sachet powder or essence that is very
strong and lasting. It comes as high as
|8 and |lO a yard, but is very wide,
and one-fourth of a yard is a generous
supply. Small pieces, three inches
square or less, are sewed in hats, dress
waist* and skirts and are laid in glove
and handkerchief boxes and chiffonier
drawers. When it is considered that a
fine sachet sells for 61, these perfumed
lengths are really economical.

Recent statistics show that tbe Eng

that the gas companies realise a profit
of 920,000,000 a year.
