ADVANTAGE OF ADVERTIslNG.-A child
of four years may easily start steam engine
of twelve hundred horse power, having force
equal to the raising of IS, 400, 600 pounds
distance of one foot in one minte. But who
is able to calculate the power of single news
paper announcement Who can tell the
force of the sheets of printed matter as they
fly daily from the printing presses of the
world /? There is Something peculiar, and but
very vaguely understood, in the effect which
printed words have on the mind, and the
wonderful advantage they have over all that
may be written or spoken. It is true'that we
sec printed matter with metaphysical eye, and
that it makes clear; distinct impression on
the mind; but this is not enough to account
for the difference in effect. The fact remains.
