Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor U } ou connot
get a better price for il ?
Ans. As there is no difference in the
price the public will lm > only the better ,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public bothnre certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use the better one.

How Bismarck Could Drink.
Count Andrassy's story of on inter
view he had with Bismarck is as folr
lows :
"Bismarck had two immense mngs
of beer brought to us. He took one of
them and shoved the other over to me.
I remarked that I drank only water.
He looked at me in silence , curiously
and almost suspiciously for a minute
and then proceeded with the subject
under discussion. The more interested
he became in our conversation the more
frequently and copiously he drank.
After finishing his 'own mug he appro
priated mine without a word and put
down its contents in three or four tre
mendous drafts. Then he had a servant
fetch and fill two enormous pipes.
When he offered me one of them , I ex
plained that I never smoked.
" 'What ! ' he cried , 'neither drink
nor smoke ? What kind of a supernatural
man are you anyway ? '
"It was a mercy to both of ns , how
ever , that I did not accept the pipe , for
Bismarck smoked BO incessantly that
within 15 minutes the air in the room
was dense. When I rose at the end of
the evening from the table at which we
were sitting , the smoke was so thick
that I could hardly see the chancellor's
face. " J
A Convincing : Argument. i
A correspondent sends us the follow- j
ing story from Mississippi : Conust-1 for i
the defense was addressing a country J. i
P. of the "old school. " Said he : "l |
realize that I stand in th'e presence of a
descendant of the grand old Huguenot
family that emigrated from France to
escape fiom religious intolerance. Many
able jurists have sprung from that fam-1
ily and embellished the bench and bar [
of the Union. Their watchwords are
honor , truth and justice , and their
names are spoken in every home. The
law is so plain in this case that 'he who
runs may read. ' Shall I insult the in-1
telligence of this court by reiterating a
proposition so simple ? - Need I say
more" "No , " interrupted the judge ,
" 'tain't necessary. I'll give you a1
judgment. " Counsel sat down while the ,
judge , with emphasis , knocked the ashes'
from his cob pipe , and counsel for plaintiff - '
tiff began : "May it please the court" j
"Squire , what are yon fixiu to do"i
asked the judge. "I have the closing
argument , " was the reply. "Well , you
jes' as well set down I done got my
mind sot on the other side , tlndgmeut
for defendant. ' ' Law Notes.
Valne of Cheese Food. j
Cheese is a very rich and valuable
food , likely to form a very large con- :
stitneut in the f utnro and , especially i
for the workinprnau , to be very esteuj j
sively need. There is a difference in j
stomachs in their ability to digest this j
article.
The writer is able to make an entire' '
meal of cheese , with very little bread , '
and digest it more easily than rico or j
'
oatmeal , but in most stomachs it is less'
digestible , in some extremely so. Each J
person must learn for himsetlf. It is a '
'
convenient form of animal food and ,
when good , particularly agreeable. i
There is a great difference in the composition - j
position of cheese both in its water , fat j
and nitrogenous matter. In general , '
however , it may be remarked that i
every variety contains a large amount
of nitrogenous matter , and it is for this
that it is especially useful as a food.
Skimmilk cheese is especially rich in
this constituent , but less rich in fat.
Those who abstain from flesh food will
find in cheese abnndauce of nitrogenous
matter to take the place of that found
in flesh. London Family Doctor.
Otliello Whitewashed.
Othello is the latest historic disrepu
table to have a good character establish
ed. Italian papers claim certain manu
scripts concerning the Moor have been
found in the archives of a convent in
Venice. They are notes taken in 1542
by a Cretan diplomat sent on n mission
to the republic of Venice. The writer
knew Othello well and vouches for the
fact that the lady was never killed at
all. In fact , she survived Othello , died
a natural death and gave the coroner no
trouble at all. So that there never was
a tragedy of the moor of Venice.
Pefter's Potatoes.
Senator Peffer is fond of telling how
he once duped the managers of a Kansas
county fair. "On examination of the
sweet potatoes exhibited , " he says , "I
saw that the size of the specimens was
nothing to brag of , and I sent out to a
grocery store and purchased a bushel of
fine ones ; took the small ones out for
home use , carried the rest to the fair
grounds , entered them in my own name
and drew the premium for the best
specimen of sweet potatoes grown in
Wilson county. "
Declaration of Inflenenelence.
"My son , " said the indignant father ,

long as I'm going to stand it. You !
