PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
For deer, moose, elk or caribou, and all 
American big game, no repeating rifles 
compare in accuracy or efficiency with the 
Models 1893 and 1895 
Marlin Repeaters 
They are made with “ Special Smoke¬ 
less Steel ” barrels for High Power Smoke¬ 
less loads, and also, in .32-40 and .38-55 
with regular steel barrels, for black powder 
loads where cheaper cartridges are used. 
These latter use the famous .32-40 and 
.38-55 Ballard and Marlin cartridges, which 
have great velocity and accuracy, give 
good penetration and a killing blow.

The January increase of subscriptions 
over same month last year fell a little 
short of the increase for December; but 
it was a very satisfactory gain all the 
same. The increase over January of last 
year was 15 per cent. 
Subscribers from different parts of the 
country are sending us circulars of a 
western concern which is anxious to get 
deposits of small sums of money to start 
a bank or to develop one that is already 
organized. We are asked if it is safe 
to send them money. It is always diffi¬ 
cult to give advice on subjects of this 
kind. It is always hard to get reliable 
information about such concerns. No 
one knows all the inside workings except 
those interested, and they usually tell you 
wTiat they want you to think, whether 
true or not. We may have our suspicions, 
blit we can never be sure until the failure 
is announced, and then the victims are 
helpless. One thing is sure, these people 
want your money for the benefit it will 
do them, and not for the good they can 
do you. Once in their hands it is out of 
your control, and will naturally be used 
for their benefit. They want it for the 
sole reason that they can get it from you 
cheaper than they^can get it elsewhere, 
if indeed they are able to get it else¬ 
where on any terms. Of course, there 
are any amount of savings banks which 
take your deposits and pay a small rate 
of interest, and they are perfectly safe; 
but it is well to go slow in propositions 
that promise enormous returns. If you 
look around home you will no doubt find 
people willing to promise big things for 
the use of your money, but they are 
the last men in the world to whom you 
would entrust your savings. Well, 
schemers are much alike the world over. 
I must confess that I have no love for 
fakers or rogues. They often get money 
that ought to have gone for my school¬ 
books, and I like to know that T he R. 
N.-Y. has knocked them out occasion¬ 
ally. Perhaps it makes it easier for other 
boys to get hooks. The following letter 
is in point: 
I note what you say in reference to Waldo 
E. Barnes, Jr., Providence, It. I. I answered 
his advertisement which I saw in a New York 
paper, asking for information as to his price 
for No. 2 hay. lie answered, quite promptly, 
that he would give me $13 net on track, he 
paying freight, $3.50, out of his own pocker. 
This was quite too good, as it would give me 
$3 to $3.50 per ton more than I could get 
from other dealers. The paper In which I 
saw the advertisement replied to my inquiry 
that they did not guarantee their advertisers. 
Mr. Barnes has been very anxious to close a 
deal, but I did not take the hook as sharp as 
he expected. Your timely information on 
him is just what I suspected. J. M. c. 
Atwater, N. Y. 
Mr. W. D. Empire, proprietor of the 
Empire Poultry Farm, Seward, N. Y., is 
another advertiser who does not seem to 
appreciate the importance of care in fill¬ 
ing orders. Last year ho advertised 
young Plymouth Rock chicks; but he 
admits that the stock was probably mixed, 
and he does not consider himself respon¬ 
sible, since he made no specific guarantee 
that the stock would be purebred Ply¬ 
mouth Rocks. If Mr. Empire bought a 
barrel of flour labeled “wheat flour” and 
found it to contain a mixture of buck¬ 
wheat flour, cornmeal and wheat flour, 
we think he would hold the merchant 
who sold it responsible. We do not want 
and will not accept the advertising of 
breeders with. Mr. Empire’s notions of 
responsibility. 
We do not want to let you forget that 
we send the paper 
Ten Weeks for 10 Cents 
to new readers for introductory purposes. 
We are now receiving about 200 orders 
a day of this kind. Perhaps you have 
not sent a name yet. If not, this is a 
good time to do so. 
Injurious Free Fumigation. —Noting 
an inquiry in a late R. N.-Y. in regard to 
fumigating trees, I am satisfied that fum¬ 
igated trees are injured more or less, many 
of them starting so slowly as to he worth¬ 
less. f. w. v.

LILIES OF HEALTH AND BEAUTY. 
In a recent interview with Mrs. Lily 
Langtry, she very wisely said : 
"The fact that I believe in the superior 
force of mind over matter does not blind 
me to the truth that the foundation of every 
successful life is good health; that the key¬ 
stone to physical beauty is perfect physical 
health. 
"A .sick woman cannot be a beautiful 
woman, nor can she be anything but what 
we English call a poor-spirited woman. 
"To a great extent a woman’s beauty is 
measured by her vitality—by her health. 
"Work, Sunshine, Exercise, Water and 
Soap, Plain, Nourishing Food, Lots of 
Fresh Air, and a Happy, Contented Spirit 
—there, as you say, ‘honest and true,’ is 
my working rule for youth, youthful spirits 
and youthful looks.” 
One great secret of youth and beauty for 
the young woman or the mother is the 
proper understanding of her womanly sys¬ 
tem and well-being. Every woman, young 
or old, should know herself and her phys¬ 
ical make-up. A good way to arrive at this 
knowledge is to get a good doctor book, 
such for instance as "The People’s Common 
Sense Medical Adviser,” by R. V. Pierce, 
M. D., which can readily be procured by 
sending twenty - one cents in one - cent 
stamps for paper-bound volume, or thirty- 
one cents for cloth-bound copy, and ad¬ 
dressing Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. 
« Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription can always 
be relied upon to cure when everything else 
fails,” writes Mrs. Dr. Nielsen, of 4302 Langley 
Avenue, Chicago, Ills. "It is a certain cure for 
female troubles, diseases in their worst forms. 
I suffered for years with ulceration, intense 
pains and a dreadful backache, which unfitted 
me for my work. Finally I grew so ill had to 
keep to my bed. In this extremity I used * Fa¬ 
vorite Prescription ’ for three months and then 
I was well. Only those who have passed 
through such a siege of sickness as I have will 
understand how much I value Dr. Pierce’s Fa¬ 
vorite Prescription.” 
Dr. Pierce offers $500 reward for any case 
of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap¬ 
sus, or Falling of Womb which he cannot 
cure. All he asks is a fair and reasonable 
trial of his means of cure. No substitute 
for "Favorite Prescription ” offers so much.

until you read our book. It is written by 
the man who knows most about incubating 
—a man who devoted 23 years to the prob¬

to buy wisely—facts you would not think of. 
It tells of Racine Incubators and Brooders, 
of course, but whether you buy ours or 
another, the facts are i mportant. The man 
who writes the book made the Racine Incu¬ 
bator. When you learn what he knows you
