Judicious advertising always pays.
Large type is not necessary in an ad-
vertisement. Blind folks don't read news
papers.
If you can arouse curiosity by an ad
vertisement, it is good point carried
The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity
in the world.
If the advertising you order is worth
having, it is worth paving cash for.
An Indian tried the softness of feath-
ers by laying one upon rock and
stretching himself upon it. There are
some who try the virtue of advertising
on the same plan.
1t is true Of advertising rs Of anything
else in life, that if it is worth doing at all
it is worth doing well.
Don't expect an tisement to bear
fruit in one night, like the prophets
gourd. Like Ayers pills they will take
effect, but it takes more than one night
10 do it.
We don't recommend advertising as
the best way to get good wife, but we
can recommend it as the best way to get
good business.
Never run down your opponents
goods in public. Let him pay for his
own advertising.
People who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks can't
remember anything longer than about
seven DAYS.
Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out dam because the water
is low. Either will prevent good times
from ever coming.

MISUNDERSTANDING is woman's
one career, let women rebel against the
edict as they may ;and though there may
be word rebellion here and there, woman
learn the truth early iI their lives. md
women know it latter in life when they
think of their girls; and men know il,
too, when they have to deal with their
daughters. Girls, too, now acknowledge
aloud that they have learned the lesson,
and Saturday Reviewers and others
blame them for their lack of modesty in
doing so-most unreasonably, most use
lessly, and. as far as the influence of such
censors may 90, mosts erniciously. Ma
ture prompts the desire, the world &C.
knowledges its ubiquity, circumstances
show that it is reasonable, the whole
theory of creation requires it; but it is
required that the person most concerned
should falsely repudiate it, in order that
a mock modesty may be maintained in
which no human being can believe -
Such is the theory of the censors who
deal heavily with our Englishwomen of
the present DAY. Our daughters should
be educated to be wives, but, forsootb |
they should never wish to be wooed !!
The very idea is but a remnant of the
tawdry sentimentshty of an age in
which the mawkish insipidity of the wo.
men was the reaction of the vice proceed
ing it. That our girls are in quest of
husbands, and know well in what way
their lines in life should be laid, is fact
which none can dispute. Let men be
taught to recognize the same truth in re-
gard to themselves, and we shall cease
to hear of the necessity of new career
for women.-Lppincotfs Magazine.

TIE CELEBRATED GRAPE VME.-A corr
respondent OF the Sacramento Onion, wri-
ting from San Buenaventura, Santa Bsrbars
county, has the following in regard 10 tby
celebrated grape vine that we have all SO
often heard of:
"On recent tr p to Santa Barbara paid
a visit to our famous grape vine. which has
received quite celebrity. The main vine is
forty-tbrss years old. twenty.sx inches in
circumference. and yields annually four tons
OF grapes This vine has history. Forty
three years ago spanish lady enjoyed .
ride to some neighboring hamlet; return
ing. she stuck the whip. which had been
gwen her by some brave Senor, into the
ground; it took root and grew; the result Of
that growth is the aforesaid vine. There
are various reports as regards the amount of
ground covered by its branches. Some en-
thuslastic admirers have reported as high 40
one acre; but such is not the case. As
near as ! could compute il, found II to be
one.eighth OF an acre. 1t is Of tbe native
California species. and bears large and lus-
cious grape. 1t is indeed, quite curiosity. :.
and worthy visit from any one who comsa
to Santa Barbara"

IT has been said that the murder Of the
K'ncks, at Pantin, is without parable in the
records Of crime. both in respect 10 the
number Of victims and their all belonging to
one family. A communication in the Paris

seller on the Boulevard Poissonisr was
found one morning murdered 10 his shop,
together With his wife, q domestic. and five
childrsn-sight corpses in all. What is
also remarkable. the murderer or murdsrers
