One body was that of a woman. The nwr of the disaster was brought to The Herald through the. agency of a special train, as communication to Boston by wire from poiHtson CapeCod is impoHsibleon ac count of the havoc wrought by the storm, BLOCK ISLAN0 A WRECK.

Department Store Methods. Chester (Pa.) Times. There is no better way to offset the en croachments of the great department store than by employing their methods whenever und wherever practicable. The retailer should keep up a constant agita tion in his community as to the goods and values he has to offer. If thebOMinesa men who are constantly talking about and condemning these stores would say lees and act more, matters would be a great aVal better, for they do not seem to renl Z" that hy talking about them they are advertising them in a very good way. Every sane person knows that no om petitor, if he has good business qualities, will constantly talk aura ut another un less they are hurting th- ir own buMioeKs, and tne people ne taiics to very otten re ceive the above impreeeion and attribute it to the fact that he handles a better grade of goods, and at more reasnnuble pri(!e. Another : thing that helps to make these big stores successful is that they advertise liberally in the daily pa pers, and by so doing place all the impor tant details or their store before the buy ing cIaH of people. Women read news papers and no part of the paper is more thoroughly perused by them than the ad verticing columns, for the advertisements of today are us interesting as the news columns. If the business man would ape tne methods 01 these stores, and take regular space in his home paper, and in that space tell the. people what he has to s-ll in a pleasing way, and see that hi advertisement is changed two ' or three times a week, and filled with bright news of his store, we feel asHured that in very snort time he would experience an increase in the business that would be agreeably surprising to him. If it pays department stores to do this, why won t It pay him in proportion? Franklin's Famous Toast. Our Youths' Friend. Franklin wasdiningwith a small party of , distinguished gentlemen, when one of them said: " Here are three nationalities represented; I am French, and my friend here is English, and Mr. Franklin is an American. Let cachone propose a toast, It was agreed to, and the Englishman's turn came first. He arose, and in the tone of a Briton bold, sh id: "Here's to Great Britain, the uu that gives light to aii tne nations 01 tne earth." The Frenchman was rather taken back at this, but h proposed: "Here's to France, the moon whose, magic rays movH the tides of the world." Franklin then arose and with an air ol quaint modesty aid: "Here's to George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the ran and moon to stand still and thev etood still."
