A little over half a century ago It was considered beneath the dignity of many substantial concerns to adver tise beyond the insertion in the news papers of an occasional business, card. Some of the experiences of that time show how recently advertising, as we know it, has developed. A retail hardware house in an east ern city once found itself possessed of ten times the number of articles of a certain kind that it had intended to buy. As they had been ordered espe cially for a new hotel and were of a pe culiar design, there seemed to he no way of disposing of them except at a merely nominal sum. One of the younger men connected with the concern offered to “move them” at a fair price provided he be permitted to advertise. The sugges tion encountered much opposition, but finally a small sum was set apart to carry it out. The advertisement was drafted in an attractive way, and the people soon began to buy the new arti cle. Finally the house was obliged to send to the manufacturers for more. When the next season’s trade opened, the member of the firm who had most opposed the experiment whispered to the young man that he had better write out a few notices “and put them in the papers.” From such beginnings the advertis ing practice has come. Thousands of dollars are now spent not only in ad vertising itself, but in devising clever catch words, ingenious phrases and Il lustrations which will stick in the memory of the reader as well as new .general methods.—Youth’s Companion. Ir has been decided by the Fair Man agement at Atlanta to change Veterans’ Day from Wednesday, October 16ch, to Thursday, October 17th. Onthomorning of that day there will be opened at No. 44 Wall street, Atlanta, a place of regis tration for the veterans. This is di rectly across the street from the Union Depot and will discommode the old sol diers only a trifle. Free passes will be issued to every man and his wife for the day. From out of town several thousand veterans will come; from the city there will be several thousand more and alto- | gether a great crowd is expected. A i committee of prominent veterans will be in charge of the registration office in Wall street. Swlmmlns. “No man can ever hope to bo a strong swimmer unless he cultivates the pow er of endurance in the water,” says a professional. “It costs me no more exertion to swim for an hour than it does to walk for the same period of time. “In swimmiDg a man should time his stroke with his breathing. He should ! take but one stroke to each breath. In this way the muscles of the body work in conjunction with the lungs, and no energy is wasted. In salt water, which, of course, is more buoyant than fresh water, a man who has trained himself in this way should have no difficulty in keeping afloat, say he were shipwreck ed, until sheer weakness from hunger and thirst would force him to suc cumb.”—Philadelphia Record. Eagflsh Quail Stew. For four plump quails provide four oysters, four tablespoonfuls of butter, three large cupfuls of ox tail soup or rich stock, two small glasses of port or madeira, two tablespoonfuls of onion vinegar, the same of India relish and mushroom catchup, celery salt, white pepper and four slices of crisp, brown toast. Leave the 'quails whole, simply opening down the breast. Put the but ter in a frying pan over a hot fire and when brown lay the quails in the pan. Cover and cook ten minutes. Turn and cook ten minutes more. When browned on both sides, add the soup or stock, wine, catchup and relish. When it boils again, add celery salt and pepper to season and thicken with a table- spoonful of flour wet up in cold water. Stir it gradually until it boils. Turn each quail on its back and insert an oyster. Cook flve minutes and serve on slices of toast with the liquid poured over all. The Young of the Sea Devil. You may find in the sea devil a curi ous illustration of nature’s system for adjusting reproduction. The cod lays several hundred thousand eggs at a spawning because nearly all of them must necessarily be lost while floating on the waves and those which hatch are mostly devoured. But the sea devil, which produces but a siugle young one at a time, retains the latter in its belly until the infant creature is from four to six feet in length, so that when born it is able to take care of itself and is in no danger of being destroyed. A Great Storm Wave. A great storm wave is peculiar to cy clones. At the center of the disturb ance the mercury iu a good barometer may be lower by three inches than that iu a similar instrument on the verge of the cyclone. This is owing to the diminution of atmospheric pressure consequent on the rotation of the air wheel, and as nature abhors a vacuum the sea in the vortex rises above its usual level until equilibrium is restor ed. This storm wave advances with the hurricane and rolls in upon the low land like a solid Avail. In the Backer- gunge cyclone of 1870 the storm wa\’e covered the land at the eastern end of the Ganges delta at heights varying from ten to forty-five feet, ns measured by marks on the trees.

During a spell of particularly hot weather a AA'ell known baronet came across three AA'orkmen engaged on a job on his estate. One of them remark ed, as Avorkmen not infrequently do, on the dryness of the job. The heat had perhaps extended itself to the bar onet’s temper. At any rate, he turned away, with the reply: “If y° u are thirsty, you know Avbere the well Is. You will find a pail there.” Thinking over his remark a little lat er, it flashed across the baronet’s mind that he had given orders for three bot tles of champagne to be put into the pail and lowered into the well to cool for dinner.

VETERANS’ BAY AT ATLANTA, OCT. 17TH. The arrival of the first batch of let ters after the establishment of rural free delivery in Mansfield, Conn., re called to an aged lady of that town a postal incident remembered in her family for 120 y?ars. “My mother al ways cried when she told the story,” she said. When my mother was a little girl, the narrator went on, to have cue’s let ters regularly brought and handed in at the door would have seemed a miracle of privilege, and to get them without paying postage Avouid have been another. Mails Avere so sIoav and uncertain that the safe arrival of an expected letter by any means was an event in a country family, with the pctstoffico miles away. Sometimes the delivery was helped along by volunteer carriers—a farmer going home from the grist mill, a housewife returning from market town with her bargains of lamp oil, West India molasses and green tea, or even a passing peddler with his load of tin ware and corn brooms. In the old war time the army had post riders, but they were few and far between. My grandfather was a soldier of the Revolution, and grandmother kept the home fire burning here, and provided for their three children as well as she could while he was at the front. All summer she had heard no word of him, and when one autumn day a man in a military cloak rode to the door on a white horse her heart beat quick. “Does Ruth Fuller live here?” he says, holding a thick letter in his hand. “Yes, I am Ruth Puller,” and grand mother reached eagerly for the letter, for she saw the address In her hus band’s handwriting. “The postage is 2 shillin’s.” Grandmother’s countenance fell, for there wasn’t so much money in the house. “Guess you don’t know me.” remark ed the man, opening his cape and tip ping hack his cocked hat, but still hold ing the letter. She knew him then—an enemy capable of a mean revenge. “Ah, yes, you remember Tom Turner and Iioav he asked you to marry him and you give him ‘No, I thankee,’ and took John Fuller. I wasn't good enough to marry ye, but I’m good enough now to bring ye letters from the man that did, and I’m good enough to charge ye a steep price for goin’ out o’ my way. So hand over your 2 shillin’s and take your letter.” The poor woman told him she had no money. To be held up in this heartless and insulting way was a bitter hurt to her. Her grief Avas deeper fhau her resentment, but she Avas too proud to let the cruel fellow see her weep. “I will get you a good dinner,” she said, “and feed your horse and give you a pair of nice long stockings.” It was a humiliation to plead with Tom Turner, but she could do no less. “Money or nothin’,” he says, and he put the letter in his pocket and rode aAvay. Grandmother Avent into the house and sat doAvn and cried, and her chil dren, clinging about her, cried too. During her long months of waiting, at odd hours she had spun and woven cloth and sewed garments and knitted woolen stockings for John’s Aviuter comfort, trusting to find some way to send them to him. Now the messenger had come and gone Avho could at least have carried word, and he had refused even to give her her husband's letter. “Ma, God knoAA’s what the bad man did,” • sobbed one of the little ones. “He knoAvs what nice things you’ve made for pa, and he’ll send a good man next time.” The baby’s thought relieved the moth er’s despair, and the three lonely hearts prayed and waited anxiously for the “next time,” and, sure enough, before winter came they saw the same white horse galloping toward the house. “He’s brought the letter back!” they all cried out together, for they believed the rid er to be the same man. Grandmother rushed from the door with all her children. The horseman held out the same letter, and as he graA-ely put it into her hands' she glanced up to his face and screamed for joy. “John! It is you!” It did not take her husband long to tell the rest of the story. Tom Turner had returned to headquarters, and one night, made talkative by an extra ra tion of rum, he had bragged how he “got even” with an old sweetheart who jilted him. His exploit reached the ears of his commanding officer, who took away his commission and put my grandfather in his place. The new post rider had brought his own letter to his wife. It was the first rural free delivery in Mansfield town.— Youth’s Companion. of the trough for the ends as shown in the diagram. Nail Avell with lath nails.

Drive stakes in the ground ^just far enough apart to let the trough swing. Put pins in the top of the stakes to fit the eyes on the end pieces of the trough. The top of the trough should be about six inches above the ground. You can use your judgment about painting it. If you do, put some water in it and let it stand about a day before allowing the chickens access to it.— Subscriber in Poultry Keeper. THE BROILER. Cnpld’s Guide. “In all my life,” she sa»Q, with a sigh, “I have seen only one man that I would care to marry.” “Did he look like me?” he carelessly asked. Then she flung herself into his arms and wanted to know what secret power men possess that enables them to tell when they are loved.—Chicago Herald. A Brandi of the Poultry Business That Can Be Made to Pay. In entering the broiler business the most important requirement is good incubators, as without them failure is sure. To accompany the incubator one should have first class brooders, and of these the indoor is best, because you can easily attach a regulator, thereby guarding against smothering your chicks. If yon are a good judge of the amount of heat a lamp will throw out when lit at night and left till morning, you can with safety use outdoor brood ers. Where many chicks are hatched it is best to adopt the compartment brooder, heated by steam. In raising broilers they must have warm, dry quarters. They must be fed little and often a variety of food and with lots of fresh, clean water. Their food should contain lets of oil. Skimmilk is splendid. My broilers cost from 20 to 40 cents a pair to raise, and when selling for SO cents to $1.20 a pair I think it is a paying business. I give my chickens six square inches each in the brooders and 18 square inches each in the yards. The brooder is raked out every morning while the chicks are eating, and the yards are swept with a wire broom every night after they go to bed. In this manner they are not frightened while the work is going on. When I first began to raise broilers. I almost gave it up in. disgust. It seemed I could not raise them success fully. When I looked into the matter. 1 found they were crowded and that the pens were not cleaned as they should be. Matters were changed, and to ray astonishment my broilers then paid me better than my layers. Constant at tention brings success. I would rather go without one of my meals every day than see my broilers go hungry, while I take pleasure in seeing my layers on the hungry side at all times. As for sickness,’it comes only a few times a year. The most common ail ment is leg weakness. The moment this is noticed the weak chick is taken off- by itself and fed about half as much as it was getting. In nearly all cases this chicken can be taken back the second day. By this method no weight is lost. Remember weight lost one day cannot be regained iu three.— Cor. Reliable Poultry Journal. About Gapes. Gapes are usually due to filth, the eating of the residuum of food previ ously given and feeding in damp places. It is believed that they are propagated in earthworms, but no facts have yet been discovered regarding such claim. The best remedy for gapes, if the chicks will eat, is to add a teaspoonful of spirits of turpentine to a mixture of one pint of corumeal and a half pint of middlings. Thoroughly incorporate the turpentine with the dry material, then scald as much of the material as may be required and feed to the chicks on a clean board. Put ten drops of carbolic acid in every pint of drinking water and change the water frequently once a day. There is no sure remedy for gapes, and inserting feather tips in the windpipe to draw out the gape worms can be done only by an experienced person. There are suggested remedies, but they are sometimes as fatal to the chicks as the gapes. The education of a child cannot be shifted to the shoulders of teacher or educator. The responsibility rests, first and foremost, Avith the parents.— Ladies’ Home Journal. It is almost as presumptuous to think you can do nothing as to think you can do everything.—Phillips Brooks.

The egg had been bought in the Scarbor ough market, and it seems that one or two other eggs purchased there about the same time have been found to con tain two or three pins each. The ex traordinary egg is being preserved in spirits by a Scarborough naturalist.” What a strange taste the hen that laid that egg must Inrve bad!
