fact. viz: that at the age Of twenty seven,

Old Time Advice to a Wife.

A newspaper poetcss, who wrote under
date OF 1918. in giving advice to young
wife. says that the proper sphere and duty
of married woman is:
"To guide the house with prudent care,
With Judgement wise 70 spend and spare,
s And make her husband bless the day
he gave his liberty away"
The next two lines contain confession
which rather betrays the secret OF the sex:
"Be sure you ns'er for power contend,
But try By tears to gain your end"
SO it seems that among the fair sex weep
ing was once considered valuable water

The Benefit Of Advertising.

The following article. relating to the
beneficial effects of advertising, we clip
from the New York Tribune. Any man or
company of men, who expects his or their
business to prosper. without the medium
of the columns Of a newspaper. will find
themselves mistaken. In ORDER to COM
mand large trade. the individual must
place himself before the public, and there
is no other way but through the press. Adj
vertising pays literally in what are called
easy times. 1t pays largely in hard times.
Says the Tribune; "But the most interest
ing problem is this--for some months
past, notwithstanding that business and
travel have been sadly depressed, the traffic
of the Pennsylvania Railroad has been
steadily increasing over all Others It's
stock and bonds have sympathized in this
prosperity-gradually rising in price until
the former sells ct A, while the first bonds
are at par, and the second at 90. Now.
much Of this prosperity is due to very
simplicity edient--Advertisipg. The COM
pany have been advertising largely in New
England. and per consequence, the cash
receipts At the New York Office have in
creased 86 per cent since the advertising
system was begnnl The solid results OF
this expenditure are now realized at time
when they ara most needed: TINS proving
conclusively that when business is duIi is
the best time to advertise largely. What
Lesson these facts ought to teach every
man Who ir getting living by dealing in
any way with the general public"

Feeds the fashion plates with cheese;
Hugs tie pictured dogs and kittens,
Tears the cuts that fail to please;
Gets the chess-men-spoils the work-eox,
Trails the cotton spools for carts;

the mountains. The Mexican Mining laws
are recommended for the adoption of Con-
gress. The Indians are numerous but
have not fixed houses--are nomadic in
their habits. Small reservations are re-
commended. but no money snnuities. The
Indians as mass are not so we'll off as
they were half a century ago, even after
spending fifty millions upon them. The
efforts to civilize them have resulted in
making them miserable paupers. The De-
partment urges the necessity of teaching
them to labor. This report suggests
"Montana" as an appropriate name for
the proposed Territory. Mr.. Stevens pre-
