Dear Sir I hare delayed answering your letter in
order to send you the enclosed certificate. Mr. Bart
Reeve declines to give a testimonial at present for the
reason that he has been under tho treatment of a num
ber of Physicians and thinks that they might not like it
if be were to make the affirmation of the effect tout
Mineral Water had upon him. I will describe the case
to you as near as I can : He had been sick about two
years and an unnatural belt had formed around him
just below theribs. He drank your Mineral Water
three or four dajw and the belt went off in such a way
as to cause his legs and feet to swell, but that noon dis
appeared, and he is now in comfortable health. The
doctors had all given up that he could not get well.
There are a number of persons here who have spoken to
me for some of the water to use iu "various cases, and I
woulu like to use a little myself. I think it is the best
nervous remedy I ever knew. Please send me five

He Apologized
A story is told of a Naugatuck man
who purchased a load of wood of ono cf
his neighbor. The wood was of su h
poor quality and so crooked that he
complained bitterly about it Finally,
after eshaust'ng his' vocabulary, he
said: 'If I ever see a meaner load of
.wood than this I'll apologize to you for
what I have said." ; The man who
bought the wood moved to Westport,
and after several years had passed
came home one night and looked ov;r
a load of woo.i that had been left in his
yard during the day- He walkei
around it a few times," and finally went
into the house and said to his wife: "I
have got to go to Naugatuck right
away. "Wh.t have you got to go to
Naujratuck now for?" inquired his wife.
Why I told Mr. So-and-So that if 1
ever found a meaner load of wood than
the one that sold mo I would apolo
gize ,Jo him for what I sard about it; I
EaveTound it and am going." And he
at once took the train for Naugn tuck
and apologised to the man according
to his promise. Bridgeport " Conn.)
"Why a man laughs at a joke in
stead of weeping, and why one weepa
at a stroke of pathos instead of laugh

results of science in the department of
psychology, "which are just as blind as
ever they were in Parmenides or Plato;
but the man who should reverse the
process would be voted mad by his
fellows, nevertheless."

WAR DECLARED!
Printers Strike at Last Every
Prospect that they will
be Successful!
For some time past it has been gen
erally conceded that the firms who, in
order to secure and hold their trade
are obliged to resort to the system of
sending drummers on the road, are
not the firms for a business man to
deal with, unless he is satisfied with
seventy-five cents for a dollar. A
business man (and printers and pub
lishers are generally good business
mea) can readily understand that a
traveler's expenses have to be paid,
and out of the profits of his sales. A
drummer's expenses average about ten
dollars per day, when upon long trips
of three and four months. That means
simply ten per cent, added to price of your
goods. The drummer figures- in this
way : He calls upon a publisher, who,
we will say, wants a power press, and
has made up his mind to buy the best,
thinking (and rightly, too,) that the
best is, in the long run, the cheapest.
He has decided upon a Campbell, or
perhaps a Cottrell press (and couldn't
have made a better choice), and figured
carefully upon the freight, etc. for
getting, of course, the drummer's ten
per cent. ; but the drummer doesn't
forget it. He talks all round, nibbles
first on one press and then upon
another, until he at last finds a
machine that may be $100 or $200
less in price than the publisher's
choice, and finding that the publisher
is not familiar with the price, make o"r
working qualities of the press, he then
exerts his entire chin-power upon
eulogizing this power press. Perhaps
it is a "Prouty" it will grind out
anything, from quartz to sausages, in
three colors. The publisher orders a
press gets a quartz crusher; drum
mer makes ten days' expenses hur
ries along to - reach some pleasant
loafing town thinks he's smart has
not time to see this publisher next
trip. In short, the drummer for second-class
houses, (for such are they
that will foist inferior type and ma
chinery upon printers and publishers,
under the plea that they are " cheap,"
knowing that they must get ten per cent,
more than any o(her house, in order to
pay the drummer) aims to make his
expenses by plausibly representing
goods for what they are not, at a re
duced price.
Now, there is a difference between
this second-class firm's drummer and
the first class. You take the. largest
house, for instance, in the business.
They figure that they have four-fifths
of all the trade ; they make more sales,
though on smaller margins ; they are
reliable; they don't lose customers;
their aggregate profits are larger ;
they say, "We can afford to devote the
profits of a portion of our business to
securing new business, or to estab
lishing a branch where it will be an
accommodation and & help tp ur
customers;" or, if the trade is limited
and will not support a branch house,
they can send out their traveler. The
firm handles only the best type, presses
and machinery in the world. Their
traveler is required to sell only the
best and always at one price. There
is no chance for publishers being im
posed upon if they are determined to
buy the best. Then buy from the best
firm in your line of business, and you
will buy from Palmer & Key. ;
If you are located in Oregon or
Washington Territory, buy from the
Portland house, where you can pur
chase lower than the drummer can sell
you by ten per cent.

Colonel Edward CantwelJ, who is at

Georjria Military Academy, in Savan

under the C. S. A., in" 1862, and or
dered the British Consul to report for
duty on the home guard. But the lat

COL. DOSK PIATT.
lAdecendant of one of the early French
settlers, his grandfather a distinguished of
ficer of the Revolution, and bis father a
merchant and banker of Cincinnati, Donn
Piatt retains many of the characteristics of
the Frenchman, - A native of Ohio, be
studied law, was admitted to the bar, and
shortly after placed on the beach from which
he was appointed to the diplomatic service at
Paris by President Pierce. Ac the outbreak
of our civil war he entered as a private, and '
soon after accepted a position on the staff of
Gen. Robert C. Schenck, serving with honor
through Ihe war. In 1865 CoL Ptatt was
elected from Logan county to the Ohio legis
lature, here he made himself obnoxious to
the politicians by his advocation of reform
measures. Sickening of politics, with an
experience that has since proved invaluable
to him, he turned his attention to journal -ism.
For three years Washington correspond
ent of The Cincinnati Commercial he sup
plied that paper with a letter a day during the
sessions of congress. These letters were a
tremendous success, the reason for which
Col. Piatt says was that "the American
public longed for personalities and I catered
to that taste. In Washington I found the
house a cave of the winds, and the senate a
preposterous fog-bank. My holding a solemn
old pump of a senator up to ridicule was as
startling as it was delicious to the public.1'
At the end of his three years worTi as cor
respondent he joined with George Alfred
Townsend in starting The Washington Cap
itol. Townsend shortly afterwards retmd
from the paper, as did Mr. Piatt i- time.

' Not Too Proud.
From Texas Sif tings. 1
A gentleman who owns a fine tract of
cedar land not far from Austin, Tex., a few
days ago was told that some negroes were
cutting down the timber, so he roae oat to
see about it. To bis astonishment he found
a wealthy white neighbor, with a team and
wa?on, hauling on! the timber.
"Why, I am astonished, colonel," said the
owner of the land. "I heard that a lot of
negroes were stealing nry timber and here I
find you, a white man, cutting my timber.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself."
"Well,to tell the truth," responded the
other party. "I do hate to steal the timber
like a darkey, but these cedar trees nake
such bully fence rails that 1 concluded to
drop all pride of race."
