The value of advertising in a journal depends 
somewhat on the number of its readers, but still 
more on their average character. One might have 
a vast circulation mainly among those whom busi¬ 
ness men would find little profit in addressing. 
The Tit ibunk is not merely bought and read by 
more persons than almost any other American 
journal—it circulates in 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 proper to publish a list of them, it would 
appear that no other journal does or ever did com¬ 
mand the patrouage 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 attention they would gladly 
attract such as is not found elsewhere; while its 
wide columns, clearly and fairly printed, invite the 
regard of intelligent readers. ,

Mt. Lebanon, N. Y., Sept. 27tli, 1871. 
Respected Friends : In reply to your inquiry as to what 
we think of the Averill Chemical Paint, we have used in our 
Society at Mount Lebanon some 1,000 gallons. We arc very 
much pleased with it, and until we arc convinced that there 
Is something better, shall give It the preference of nil other 
paints. We have used heretofore the (-), (-), and most 
all other brands of white lead, neither of which have given 
us perfect satisfaction. Most of it would chalk off after be¬ 
ing on some two or tiiree 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 in quite so much of a hurry.

AVOID LEAD POISON. 
TIN-LINED LEAD PIPE is the only water pipe in 
the market which combines safety to 
health with strength, durability, facil¬ 
ity of bending, and making perfectly 
tight joints. Water llows through it 
as pure as if drawn through silver. It 
is approved by all the leading chemists 
and physicians in the country; also, 
the Water Commissioners of New 
York. Brooklyn, and Boston. In addi¬ 
tion to the plumbing of houses, it is 
largely used in conveying water from 
springs and wells, also for beer-pumps 
and mineral waters. Circulars and 
sample of pipe sent by mail free. Address THE COL¬

Facts for Housekeepers. 
That Dooley’s Yeast Powder will produce from twenty- 
five to forty pounds more bread from a barrel of flour than 
by ue old-time tedious process of raising dough witli Bak¬ 
ers’ or Hop Yeast. The economy of purchasing Dooley’s 
Yeast Powder can readily be seen by all. It permits no 
waste o£ flour prepared with it, produces elegant, light, nu¬ 
tritious rolls, biscuits, or pastry, such as can be eaten and 
relished by invalids or the most confirmed dyspeptics. Put 
up in packages to suit customers, and for sale bv any and 
all Grocers. ~ Dooley & Brother, Manufacturers, 69 New

Why the Universal is Superior to all 
other Wringers. 
It has Rowell’s Patent Double Cogs, with 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 Malleable Ibon Folding Clamp, which can 
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 Folding Apron or Guide, to conduct the 
clothes safely over, the side of the tub, free from contact 
■with the clamp or screws. 
It has tlic peculiar advantage of Two Pressure Screws, 
so arranged that each screw presses on both ends of tho 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 springs makes the machine 
turn easier and saves the rolls from strain. 
The Iron parts are wrought or malleable, not Uablo 
to break, and well galvanized. 
It is very light and portable, yet built so substantially, 
It can not be broken. 
With all these Advantages, its price is no greater 
than that of any wringer with cogs.
