THE NIMBLE ix>1.1 IKS
Large successes iu business ai<
tot dependent ou lar^t- capital,
says Tho Focatello Tribune. It is
the nimble dollar that i>,\ys. The
nverago business man turns his
capital a good deal more quickly
thaa his father did. The old tituv
merchant bought half a year's sup
ply at a time. He visited large
centers of trade for these whole
sale purchases, and he bj'ight rigiu
and left until he was stocked up
for six months or mure. All his
own money and all he could borrow
was locked up in goods .
Under these conditions, ir a
merchant turned his whole stock
in a year, he was couidered to be
doing fairl/ well. Today, it is tli
ambition of business men to turn
their capital a number of timees iti
a year.
An enormous iuterest charge is
saved where a man sees his money
coming back to him prompt
ly. A 5 per cent 'rofit on
the sales under the old
system was not a. living return on
the capital. Under the luoieru sys
tem of quick sales, it yields a
handsome return.
The one means by which this
modern ideal ot' business call be
realized is byconsistent advertis
ing. Not necessarily spturgv adve:
tising, beyond a merchant's abi'
Jty, but an amouiit of advert is
reeasonably proportioned s.s a part
of his regular selling expenses.
The public should t'a\or t'"-t mer
chants who advertise regularly.
Almost invariably these men li ve
the freshest goods. They hold an
article only while i is suited t >
the season or the prevailing tastr,
and then they get >• out oC t'ie way.
Also it is cheaper to ouv in such
stores. The man who keeps liis
capital on the move alt the lime
can afford to sell a' a lower tigurt
The smaller percentage ot profit on
the selling price yields lum an
equally good or better return.
It is an axiom of trade that it
costs money to hold goods in a
store. The longer it stiys, the
higher proportion of rent, clerk
hire and taxes is charged up to i<
Any goods will stay, unlr-sa the pub
lic is told about them.
FEDERAL HELP IN RIOTS.
The use o£ a few squadrons of
cavalry in Colorado coal fields for
restoring order where labor trouble
have grown into a state of hostili
ties resembling ci\il wat, says t e
Cleveland Leader, may seem to
many readers of the news of the
day almost unprecedented. They arc
astonished and shocked to find any
state in the Union obliged to call on
the President for such help.
Yet it is nothing new. The same
thing has been done, and on a
much larger scale, several times iu
the history of the country. On one
memorable occasion in 1S94, when
John P. Altgeld was Governor of
Illinois and Grover Cleveland was
President of the Urited S'ates, riot
ing in railroad yards in Chicago
was stopped by regular soldiers j
sent there by the federal govern- j
ment, notwithstnding t'.'e vehem
ent protests of the chie; executive
of Illinois.
There was a time, in the sum
mer of 1S77, when the Governors ]
of many states called for the aid j
of United States troops. all ask- j
ing help in suppressing r'ots grow
ing out of railroad strikes. Then j
the United States army had work
of the kind undertaken in Colorado
in a dozen different cities. In1
Pittsburg alone the riots resulted j
In the destruction of property
valued at more than $3,000,000.
In respect to bloodshed and
vlolenco in strikes and other labor
troubles, tho country is not going
from bad to worse. On the con
trary, it Is improving gradually and
moving upward toward ln'ttcr con
ditions. There is less danger of
uravo outbreaks oi lawlessness now
than there was forty j ears ago
when tho population was not half
so great as it is today.

Is tio sunlight, properly so called, but
only skylight. Whether the sky is
overcast or not the intensity of day
light varies with the hour of the day
aud with the season. This is due to
differences in the elevation of the sun.
Try a LOVERA for your after
dinner smoke.
These variations FU" file fliTeriSTfy of
daylight ure surprisingly great. The
intensity is on tin: average ten times
as great In midsummer as in midwin
ter. but this average comes far from
expressing the utmost difference that
can exist, tor investigation has showu
that between the clearest summer day
aud the darkest day of winter the ra
tio of tbe intensity of daylight may be
as great ns WH) to I.
Besides, the quality <>t daylight is
continually changing on'account of the
variations in the relative amounts of
the different ray* or the spectrum that
are mingled in it. The spectrum of
light Is a gamut of vibrations, and the
result of the selective aetlou exercised
by the substances and vapors, from
which the light has been reflected and
through which it has passed is to pro
duce variations of color and of intensi
ty of color. as well as of the quantity
of invisible radiations present, and
these variations are not the less real
and Important because the eye Is not
always full* aware of them.
As to pure sunlight, we never see It
ou the earth The light that arrives to
as from the sun has Wither the color
nor the Intensity that It possesses be
fore it enters the atmosphere. The
ultraviolet rays especially are almost
completely wteeued off by the atmos
phere, and it they reached us In their
full force it is probable that life as
now ordain ed >>n this plauet would be
destroyed l>) them.
Every d lferctit world has Its own
daylight, although all may be illumi
nated b> the same sun .Not only does
relative distance affect the intensity of
daylight ou different planets, bill the
constitution of their various atmos
pheres has an equally great effect
Venus has a daylight twice as intense
as ours; Mars one-half as intense. On
Jupiter the iitb n«lfy is l-'J5 ot that on
the earth: on Saturn. 1 '.to: on Nep
tune, 1-UUO.
But each of lhost- piauets tias an at
tnosphere peculiar to 11 self, and thus
the differences ot daylight upon theui
are made still more renin kable. This
Is one of the fir*! things to be taken
Into account in ail speculations about
the fiabitabiliiv ot iliose other worlds.
