CLOTHES ALIO THE MAN,
How to Be Well Dressed and Not Look
Like a Cloucly Winter Day.
1u Um Americtitt :liagazlne is an ac•
eouut 'f one of the roost successful
Insuran, a solicitors in the country,
who attributes n large part of his suc-
cess to the fact that he always looks
well dressed and prosperous,
"if y.,u have only uue suit of clothes,.
keep that one suit clean and pressed all
the time." he says. "Press your trou-
ser, yourself every day if necessary, 1
have pressed my trousers lots of times.
Keep your shoes shined.
"ii' you can afford several suits,
change orf from one suit to another
frequently and steep all of them spot-
less and well pressed. 1 Dever wear a
suit longer than the second day at a
time. To change every day is better.
It gives the clothes a chance to 'rest:.'
I always hang my clothes on hangers
the minute 1 take thein off. It gives
them a chance to 'came hack' into
shape and the nap to come up again.
"Tt is a great ec•ouomy to have lots of
good clothes. A snit will last twice
and three tineas as long and always
look well if you keep changing off from
one to another Besides, people get
tired of seeing a min in the same suit
day after day for a whole season.
"When i started in the insurance
business Y011 ago 1 realized that to
make a good appearance was to look
prosperous. and 1 paid mach attention
to my dress. I avoided solid colors
and always selected clothes with some
life in them A dash of color about
your person. whether it be in the
plaid of the snit. the shirt, tie, hat or
handkerchief protruding from the coat
pocket, will take away the monotony
of one's appearance and is sure to
please. But, in adding this 'life' and
'pep' to one's appearance, avoid, above
all things, the colors that clash. Get
clothes with •snap' and 'lire:' avoid
those which stake the wearer look like
a cloudy winter day."
WON .THE AUDIENCE.
Bernhardt's Clever Trick Turned Cold-
ness to Enthusiasm.
Once when Sarah Bernhardt was act-
ing iu Italy the audience was rath-
er unl'rietidly, owing to the fact that
the p'ices of •the• seats bad been con-
siderably increased.
After the first act Mme. Bernhardt
called her maid and gave her some di-
rections in an undertone. The maid
left the theater, but speedily returned.
and just before her mistress went on
the stage again she handed her some-
thing as she stood in the wings. The
scene progressed. "The Divine Sarah"
seemed, hoarse. She tried to clear her
throat, passed her handkerchief across
her mouth, and suddenly n stream of
blood poured from her lips, and she
fell into the arms of the actor with
whom she was playing
The curtain was promptly rung
down, and the audience scatted breath-
lessly to hear the worst. .1l1 their
previous vexation was turned to sym-
pathy, and when it was announced
that the great actress would shortly'
resume her part rather than disap-
point them the cheering was deafen-
ing. When madame came on again
the people applauded her as lordly as
formerly they had Shown their disap-
proval, and the rest of the play was
one long triumph.
But that audience never knew the
truth, for when madame had sent ber
maid out of the theater it was to get
her a small bladder of red ink, which
she kept in her handkerchief and
which she bit through with her teeth
so as to produce the alar effect
that had transformed her audien
An Eskimo Dinner.
Admiral Peary was talking in Wash-
ington about the hardships of polar ex-
plore tion.
"The white north is the country of
hardships." he said -"hardships that
are borne cheerfully and gayly, in the
spirit of the Eskimo woman.
"An Eskimo woman at the dinner
hour served out to her family half a
candle apiece.
"'Light refreshments,' she said, smil-
ing."
His Mistake.
A long standing creditor resolutely
climbed the steps, rang the bell and
asked If Mr. Spender was et home.
"Yes, sir. Walk right in, sir," said
the footman cordially. "Mr. Spender
is at home, sir."
"Thank goodness," said the creditor,
"I'm going to see my money at last."
"Oh, don't make that mistake, sir,"
said the footman. "If Mr. Spender had
any money he wouldn't be at home."
Plain Enough.
"How do you like America, count'?"

speech aro somewhat hard to under-
stand. Now, when it dawns upon

HOW ADVERTISING DOES ODD
JOBS FOR THE FARMER.
The farmer needn't wait until he has
an:auction sale to make use of a country
newspaper as a means of talking to
people and inducing them to buy goods.
If a hired man leaves, for twenty five
cents the farmer can ask practically
every other farmer if he knows of some
good fellow, or can ask many men look -
for employment if they don't want to
work for him. He can ask all of his
fellow farmers if they don't want to
buy a tool he may have no use for or he
can say he Wants to buy such a thing
for himself. He can find a market for
his superfluous butter, eggs and ether
farm produce.
It is safe to assume that if all the
farmers in mydountry appreciated how
useful the country newspapers could be
to them, a whop page of want ads
would be printed every week. The far-
mers read and answer the ads them-
selves and all that is necessary is that
they convince themselves that others
would read their lids. Then the uses of
advertising for the farmer would sprout
like wild oats.
The WINGHAM TIMES agrees thor-
oughlywith the statement and quotation
given above and many farmers in this
vicinity can also votch for them. as
again and again buyer and seller have
been brought togelther by a twenty five
cent reader in the TIMES, with quick
results. Just one instance: -One sub-
scriber just the other day advertised
'some live stock for sale in the TIMES,
the paper was delivered Thursday
morning by the rural couriers. Friday
we were called by telephone, and asked
not to repeat the advt., as the animals
were sold, and too much time was be
ing wasted in answering the numerous
enquirers.
Mr. Farmer, if you want some ad-
ditional stock, machinery, produce, etc,
or if you have anything on the farm you
want to turn into money juat have a
brief advt. put in the TIMES.

INSECT TRAVELERS.
Moths, Butterflies and Beetles Maks
Long Distance Journeys..
Mr
. Willitrm Evans, a Scottish hath,
ralist, who has made tt lifelong study
of the fauna of Scotland, obtained
from a dozen Scottish lighthouses 241
species of insects, which include two
butterflies, 159 moths, eighteen caddis
tiles turd, lacewings, forty diptera, ten
beetles and a dozen other species.
Most of the specimens were males.
To reach the Isle of May. in the P'i'th
of North, where Mr. Evans collected
most of the insects, many of the speci-
mens must have flown across several
miles of sea.
In his records Mr. Evans calls atten-
tion to several other extraordinary
flights of bisects.
Thus, the "painted lady," or thistle
butterfly (Pyrameis cardui), has been
known to cross the Alps; the red ad-
miral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) has
landed in numbers on the deck of a
vessel 500 miles from the coast of
England; the common white butter-
flies cross the English channel in
clouds; the famous milkweed butterfly
(Danais arehippus), abundant every-
where in the United States, is said to
make the 2,000 mile journey from
California to the Hawaiian Islands
and has gradually progressed by way
of the south sea islands as far as Aus-
tralia.
A death's bead moth has boarded a
steamer 200 miles oto the Cape Verde
islands. Clouds of ladybirds miles in
extent, so that they resembled smoke
from a steamer, have been seen at sea.
A swarm of locusts that passed over
the Red sea in 1889 is said to have ex
tended over 2,000 square miles, and it
was estimated to weigh 42,850,000,000
tons!
SLOW ACTING NERVES.
Earthworms and Clams In No Danger
of the Strenuous Life.
The common earthworm bas two
sorts of nerves.
One of these is a thread running
lengthwise of the body between the
places where head and tail would be
if the creature had either. This nerve
has only one use -to carry the signal
to shorten up.
So when the worm, keeping under-
ground by day, bnmes by night half-
way out of its hole and suspects,
thod;h he cannot see, the early bird
looking for breakfast, whisk goes the
signal al,mg the nerve thread, one end
of the body flattens out and locks fast
in the burrow, and the rest pulls into
safety.
This sect of nerve carries a message
at the rate of a yard and a half a sec-
ond, or about seventy times more slow-
ly than our own do.
The other sort of nerve takes care of
the crawling. Signals along these
nerves travel only an inch a second.
If our inner telegrams were sent as
slowly, it would be a whole minute
from the time the pitcher threw the
ball till the batter started to swing his
club at it.
Yet, as the simpler creatures go, the
earthworm is not especially sluggish.
The fresh water clam, for instance,
gets word from one part of its body to
another at only half the earthworm's
rate. So it is 2,400 times slower than
a man.-Edwiu Tenney Brewster in St
Nicholas.
Photographs on Living Leaves.
A process of taking a photograph on
the leaf of a plant is described in an
article by Dr. Hans Molisch in Die
Umschau, a translation of which ap-
pears in the Scientific American.
Briefly, the process is as follows:
Fasten a negative with strong con-
trasts to a very smooth, thin, hairless
growing leaf, such as the Indian cress,
scarlet stunner or nastnrtium, and leave
it exposed to strong sunlight for sev-
eral hours. Then cut the leaf from the
plant, steep it in boiling water for halt
a minute, then immerse it in warm 80
per cent alcohol. After a little time
the leaf, now white, is immersed in a
dilute tincture of iodine. The result is
a positive photograph, often of surpris-
ing sharpness.

FARMERS ADVISED TO HUSBAND
SEED
"The remarkably fine weather we
have been having this fall is the great..
est thing that ever happened to the fall
wheat," stated Dr. Zavitz, of the 0. A.
0., this morning. "On the plots tl:at
ve have here, and they take in quite a
targe acreage, the winter + 'heat looks
ilmost as well as in any avwrage year.
(t is geting a great foundation, and is
itowing a good spreading top. We
owed here the second week in
l«ptember, which we considered rather
;ate, as we plan always to seed the first
if September. Reports from other
mints also indicate tha'. the winter
Nheat is benefiting by the mild
•weather."
In regard to the seed situation, Dr.
Levitz was not stall optimistic, "Good
seed is going to be scarce," he said,
"that will especially be true in regard
:o barley, oats, potatoes, corn and
tifalfa. I would advise any farmer
who has a good quality of these to be
careful what he does with them, as
there is going to be, in fact there is
right now, a pronounced shortage in
the seed situation in Ontario. There
was a lot of grain threshed out that
will not do for seed.
"Of late years farmers have been
drawing largely on Essex for seed corn,
but the crop there has not been up to
the standard of other years. although
growers there are paying more
attention to drying, end will probably
produce more seed proportionately than
they did before.
"What potatoes there are should
maket
k splendid sP d, as there is no rot
this year, and the potatoes were not
overly ripened, which improves them
for seeding purposes. It is not advlsed
to import seed frorn other provinces or
from other countries, as there is always
the danger g of mixed grain, which we
have been trying to eradicate. The
great thing is for the farmers of
Ontario to conserve all the seed grain
they have. There will be a temptation
to feed it, but their best policy looking
to the future, is le :.ave it "
