FUND FOR BOOMING.
A i'hopoughly Practical Method For 8n'
cooragtag Manufjcturea.
A scheme novel in itself , yet prat.
tical and businesslike in its operation ,
has been adopted by some towns that
have boomed their business and population -
tion to an unusual degree. The method
is a strictly fair one and possesses no
drawbacks so far as experience teaches
or the skill of promoters can detect.
Few towns like to give money outright
for the establishment of manufacturing
enterprises , and it a mooted question
whether or not it is commercially right
for a concern to thus handicap itself by
accepting an absolute consideration for
the transfer of a business from one city
to another. Certain it is that no town
can afford to give a bonus sufficient to
induce a manufacturing firm to change
its location if it is not for the firm's interest -
terest to change , irrespective of the
good will offering that may be made ,
'md it may be set down as a fact that
any enterprise that will move its plant
solely to secure the cash that a town
may gi' o it is not a desirable enterprise
nor the one that a town wants.
Granting , however , that there exist
advantages in the way of railroad facilities -
ities , convenient sites , low priced fuel
cheap living , good schools and the like ,
of sufficient importance to attract a
manufacturer , it is but proper that the
tradespeople , landowners and citizens
generally who are directly and indirectly -
ly benefited by his advent in their town
should generously bear the expense attached -
tached to moving and the loss incident
thereto.
A fair sized town wboso citizens are
reasonably liberal and awake to the
public interest would be able to raise
a sum of perhaps $10,000 as a nucleus
to a permanent fund to encourage new
manufacturing. This money raised by
voluntary subscription is best placed in
the hands of trustees and its expenditure -
ture given over to a board of trade.
When opportunity offers , the whole era
a part of it may be given , without interest -
terest , to induce a manufacturing concern -
cern to locate , the stipulation being
that 10 per cent of it shall be paid back
each year until the entire sum is refund-
ed. The 10 per cent received is expended -
ed in the same manner , and eventually
a fund is created of magnificent propor-
tions. The first year , as will be seen ,
the revenue from the investment is $1-
000 , the next year $1,000 from the orig.
inal and $100 from the previous $1,000
installment , and the next $1,000 upon
the original , $100 upon the loan of $1 ,
000 and $10 upon the loan of $100 , and
so on ad infinitum. Should this fund be
added to , as is usually the case , the advantages -
vantages ttccruing to a town engaging
in tha method of fostering industries
will bs manifold and farreaching.
DISPOSITION OF GARBAGE.
&n Important Matter That P.eceives Little
Attention-English Methods.
The question of the disposition of the
garbage of cities and towns is a subject
that interests all. While the accumulation -
tion of refuse in the smaller towns has
not so great a bearing on public health
as in the larger towns and cities , neatness -
ness and cleanliness are always desirable -
able , and many diseases are directly
traced to carelessness in this matter.
Typhoid fever is considered by scientists
as a filth disease. Ignorance and stupidity -
ity are often responsible for outbreaks
of disease in localities that with trifling
care in the disposition of sink drains
and garbage would never have occurred.
Kitchen refuse thrown in a heap in the
back yard , there to fester and rot , is always -
ways a dangerous neighbor. What cannot -
not be burned should be disposed of in a
manner that will preclude the possibility -
ity of its becoming a menace to public
health.
In the district of Ealing , adjacent to
London , which has a population of 25-
000 , the refuse is burned in a patent
"destructor" which has four cells. It
has a chimney 143 feet in height. The
fuel used is a fine coke , and the quantity
consumed costs 37 cents per day. The
cost of the destructor was $10 , 000. The
quantity of refuse burned is 0,120 tons
per year. The heat from the destructor
is utilized by a boiler supplying steam
for an engine which drives the lime
mixing machines and clay mixer for the
sewage portion of the works.
In the Battersea division of London ,
with a population of 150 , 000 , the local
authorities have erected a patent destructor -
structor with a chimney 150 feet in
height. It cost $57,000 and consumes
28,000 tons of refuse a year , and there
are no complaints about offensive odor.
Thrift of the Mennonites.
There are about 11,000 Mennonites
in Kansas. They prosper every year ,
and their homes are veritable storehouses
of garden and field products. To step
into them is almost equal to a visit to
the land of the Volga. Curious furniture -
ture , strange and peculiar garb and habits -
its impress one that he is in another
land and another age. Surrounding the
low and squatty houses are heavy stone
walls and old country fencing. Barns
and forming implements are everywhere
numerous , but the farming utensils
are under shelter and bright as new ,
while the barns and bins are bursting
with a wealth of the previous year's
crops , in marked distinction to the
American neighbor , whose cribs are
empty and whose farm machinery is
sheltered by the broad canopy of heaven ,
while he is off at the county seat town .

The Antiquity of Advertising.
Fourteen hundred years before Christ
street criers went into public places to
advertise salable articles or walked
through the thoroughfares ringing a
bell and promulgating public notices.
In the exhumed ruins of Pompeii an-
thentic evidence is found in the crude
wall inscriptions depicting the prowess
of the gladiators , together with testi-
moi > , ials from citizens , which might
really be said to be the birth of the advertisement -
