ANOTHER PHASE OP THE MALL
ORDER BUSINESS
(Natchez, Miss. Democrat)
Recently a merchant of Natchez
happened to sea a farmer receive
a hex at the depot, aud noticed
that it was from a mail order
house. He also noticed that the
sjc-ods "were ri^ht in his line, and
•he same as he had carried for
years. He immediately approach
ed the farmeT and said: "I could
have sold you the goods youi have
here for less-money than the Chi
cago housd and saved you the
freight."
"Then why didn'* you do eo?"
--aid the farmer. "I have taken
the local paper 'or a year and hare
ni t seen a line about your selling
these or any other goods. This
mailorder houso sends advertising
matter to me asking for my trade,
and it ge*s it. If you hare any
bargains, why don't you pnt them y
•hi paper, so we can see what they
arc?" ' 4
n:\ ls ON SHIPPING Fins,
BY A PROMINENT Bl'YER
Cased furs should always be
ski:;ned from the 'ail fo the head
and never any other way.
:-U.Jk, otter, mus>krat civtt weas

ii.aEs, beaver, badger and wolv
uuues should be handled open.
Northern wolf should be ope>n.
I'oxes, marten, lynx, etc., when
■lied cas d, should be turned fur
bi le out and all fat removed after
ilie skius are fully dry.
-link, musrat, civet cat, weasel,
fc'-ttr and fisher are preferred pelt
side out.
if skins full of fat are kej>t some
t'iue with the fur side out become
w<-ak iu. the leather from heating.
I* is unlawful to ship or have in
your possession unprime furs.
Remove tail bones "when taking
o:f ^kius and open the tails to give
them a chance 'o dry. On some
furs the tail is a valuable part of
*.:e pelt aud a badly cured tail will
U rait from the value of the pelt
All the legs shoud be left on
marten, lynx, foxes, bears, fisher
timber wolves.
Silit 1U10, m-.VMvt -w
.•>:re cr tan thorn; many such skins
l.i-e grL.atly in value and many be
come worthless.
L>q not stuff skins; neither dry
them near a s^ove or other warm
j-l-ico. Furs should dry slowly In
the open air, without being expoaed
to the sun.
Ship furs fully dry. Lay all
c'tins flat. Rolling spoils their ap
i>»;irance. Have furs clean as pos
sible, you will benefit thereby. Ship
all furs in bags whenever possible; I
if not permitted, use light box or
barrel.
Small lots go cheaper by mail.
Ship furs up to 20 pounds in
weight by parcel pest. To corform
to postal regulations do not gerr or
s^al but tie parcel securely. In
sure it in every case.

THE TALE OP THE PANTRV MAX
Sleep ia a good thing for the
weary and a pice lull of tobacco is
balm to the tired nerves, but the
late pantry man oa the S. S. Dora
can speak from experience oa the
drawbacks of mixing the two judi
ciously.
He who was the pantryman dozed
of in bia bunk last night while
enoylng a quiet smoke. About the
time he was dreaming of fragrant
fields and sunny dales, tho pine
drooped over far enough to allow
ho» ashes to fall on the comfort.
In diu> time a noat little smudge de
veloped and the fumes waftd up the
nostrils of the slumbering pantry
man and acted as sort of ana
thaetic and put Mm eo far under the
influence of bis dreams that he yas
unable to arise w.bu the qutragji
nerves of his upper lip protested at
the burning off of half a mustache.
. Things might have gone bad withl
he who was the pantryman on the
•Kood skip Dora had not the mate
j received a whiff of scorched hair
an I frizzling comfort.
Mate Mellich. was "Johnny on the
#Dot" with a Pyrene and ooolod off
the overhoated bedding and assuag
ed the sting of the charred mustach.
Then np ros« he of th« pantry
and at once packed up his earthly
belongings and hied him henca. He
will no more of the Dora have,
and another will preside at the pan
try.—Seward Post.

YOUR HAT
Mar Be > Stylish One, But It Makes
Trouble.
A man usually buys a hat that's "in
ltyle," but the modern hat for men hat
iota to answer tor.
Baldheads are growing more numer
ous every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of the
hair.
When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp Is full of Dandruff It is a
sure sign that these countless germs ara
busily at work.
There Is but one way to overcome the
trouble and kill the germs—that way Is
to apply Newbro's Herpicide to the
icalp—it will kill the germs and healthy
hair Is sure to result.

I
Trust of a Bird.
A farmer !u the neighborhood where
I reside was crossing one of his fields
one day when lie was suddenly arrest
ed by a skylark fluttering down upon
him and adhering to his person in the
most nllectionate way. While he was
wondering at its intentions u sparrow
hawk, which had evidently been in
close pUMUit, swooped past. Instant
ly taking in the situation, lie stood per
fectly still for nearly five minutes,
while the lark nestled contentedly be
tween his feet. Then, seeming to rec
ognize that all danger was over, it left
him, rose into the air and began to
sing in its loude.'t and most jubilant
tones. A bird whose love of freedom
and aloofness from human contact are
proverbial, it seemed to have known
with unerring instinct where to find a
protector in its extremity.—London
Standard.
Church Music.
One cannot re:ui the Psalms without
the conviction, which grows with every
repetition, that ho;e is the poetic voic
ing of the deepest, highest and most
intense experiences possible to the soul
of inau. They were intended for sing
ing. and from the day of their use in
the Jewish temple until now they have
been the foundation of very many of
our sublimes! musical productions.
It must not lie overlooked that only
the highest intelligence, the most vivid
imagination and the deei>est inspira
tion can bring forth works of the first
order. If there is the commonplace tu
be found in church music its cause is
to be discovered in the human agent
and not in the lack of inspiring force
In religious feeling.—George Whitfield
| Andrews iu Musical Quarterly.
Solved at Last.
"This is about the worst dinner 1
ever sat down to." he said as lie sur
veyed the table, "but 1 s'pose I ought
to make certain allowances."
"Yes, John," replied his wife. "If
you would make certain allowances
you would have 110 occasion to find
fault with your food."—Loudon Tit
Bits.
A Theory.
"Why are nient ami eggs so expen
sive?"
"Possibly," replied the man whc
thinks it's his duty to answer every
question, "because they're among the
few articles of food that enn't be lml
tatod in a factory."-Washington Star
Most Buoyant Material.
Probably the most buoyant materia:
in the world is the pith from a glanl
sunflower grown in Siberia, which car
support thirty-live times its own weighl
when on the water. Cork, on the othei
hand, has a buoyancy of only one tc
five and reindeer's hair one to ten.
