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* making events, 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.” - —7* I I I tote dressing teg <* J I SOBS* upon tbe table white, yon are wash- 1 fa. taking gna« interest to soap aad j tooth powder and aU taikt roqntrite* < Disturbed, they retire into your ( sad remain there tiU they are drownod out One most also become to sand ar dost rtenn*. for they are fra Lsmnt and terrible diMorbertof yonr I comfort.

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. Milwaukee Wisconsin. 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. W*lcom« Hem*. Peddler—Wouldn’t you like some mottoes for your bouse, mum?
