The value of advertising in a journal depends 
somewhat on the number of its readers, but still 
more on tUeir average character. One might have 
a vast circulation mainly among those whom busi- 
ness men would liud little profit in addressing. 
Tue Tuibune is not merely bought and read by 
more persons than almost any other Amerieau 
journal — it circulates iu every State and in nearly 
every township throughout the Union, and its 
patrons are educators, merchants, professional 
men, master-workers, and leaders in almost every 
arena of inspiring and hopeful human endeavor. 
If it were prdper to publish a list of them, it would 
appear that no other journal does or ever did com- 
mand the patronage of so large a proportion of the 
foremost thinkers and workers of its time. For 
this reason, it affords men in business a means of 
reaching those whose atteution they would gladly 
attract such as is not found elsewhere; while its 
wide columns, clearly and fairly printed, invite the 
regard of intelligent readers. 
Considering the extent and character of the cir- 
culation of The Weekly Tkibune, and the in- 
creased length of the lines in the column, it is con- 
fidently asserted that its rates are cheaper than 
those of any other newspaper.

Respected Fkiends : In reply to your inquiry as to what 
we thiuk of the Averill Chemical Paint, we have used in our 
Society at Mount Lebanon some 1,000 gallons. Wo are very 
much pleased with it, and until we are convinced that there 
is something better, shall give it the preference of all other 
paints. We have used heretofore the ( ), ( — 0, and most 
all other brands of white lead, neither of which have given 
us perfect satisfaction. Most of it would chalk oil" after be- 
ing on some two or three years. This, after three years' 
experience, we do not find to be the case with the Averill 
Pure White Chemical Paint. Indeed, it appears .just as well 
as when first put on. I will write you again on the subject 
when I am not iu quite so much of a hurry.

Facts for HoMsekeejiCi's. 
That Dooley's Yeast Powdek will produce from twenty- 
five to fortv pounds more bread from a barrel of flour than 
by the old-time tedious process of raising dough with Bak- 
ers* or Hop Yeast. The economy of purchasing" Dooley's 
Yeast Powder can readily be seen by all. It permits no 
waste of flour prepared with it, produces elegant, light, nu- 
tritious rolls, biscuits, or pastry, such as can be eaten and 
relished by invalids or the mos't confirmed dyspeptics. Put 
up In packages to suit customers, and for sale by any and 
all Grocers. Dooley & Bkothbr, Manufacturers, O'J New

Why the Universal is Superior to all 
other Wringers. 
It has Rowell's Patent Douule Cogs, wiih longer 
teeth, which play apart further without disconnecting, 
never crowd together so as to bind, and turn easier than 
any other cogs. 
It has the Patent Stop, which keeps the Cogs from dis- 
connecting, yet allows the rolls to play apart far enough to 
wring the largest articles easily. 
It has the Malleaijle Iron Folding Clamp, which eau 
not be broken, and fastens securely to tubs of any curve, 
and fits washing machines or stationary tubs of fully two 
inches In thickness. 
It has the Foldixg Apboh or Guide, to conduct the 
clothes safely over the side of the tub, free from contact 
■with the clamp or screws. 
It has the peculiar advantage of Two Pkessuke Screws, 
so arranged that each screw presses on both ends of the roll 
alike, the same as If it was in the center, while the two to- 
gether give double the capacity for pressure. 
The Rubber between the Bprings makes the machine 
turn easier and saves the rolls irom strain. 
The Iron parts arc wrought or mallbable, not liable 
to break, and well galvanized. 
It is very light and portable, yet built so substantially, 
U can not be broken. 
With all these Advantages, its price is no greater 
than that of any wringer with cogs. 
Sold by the House Furnishing and Hardware Trade
