Success in Advertising.

In times past it was thought immodest to pro-
claim the excellence Of ones goods or to solicit
patronage for them in newspapers. During the
past twenty-five years, through the immense
competition in trade, it has become q necessity.
The public are always anxious to learn of prog
ress, but are equally desrous to avoid all frauds
as they have been humbugged by useless wares
until they have become skeptical Of an article
possessing genuine merit, and are particularly
preiudieed against startling announcements OF
scme new and wonderful medicine, without CHAR
acter or worth. Still the public are grateful to
manufacturers or inventors Of articles Of merit,
even if known as medicines Many of them are
the result Of years Of careful study by cur most
eminent chemists and physicians and embrace
such principles and productions as quinine, chic
roiorm, chloral hydrate, porous plasters, sc.
Success in advertising depends much upon the
intrinsic worth OF the article ITSELF even though
II be medical preparation. As an evidence of
this, celebrated physician Of New York made Q
great Improvement in porous plasters by adding
Capetne, on account Of its giving increased effect
and quicker relief and cure than any known medici-
nal property. He hestated about advertising,
fearing his reputation would be injured. firm
Of pharmaceutical chemists in his city, learning
of this decided Improvement, made an arrange
ment with this physician and commenced adver-
tising in the best newspapers. In a short time
the sale increased from hundreds to thousands,
until now the sale Of Benson's Capcine Plasters
is exceedingly large and daily increasing They
can bt obtained Of any druggist ut IS cents each.

PRETTY GIRLS.

The New York Commercial Advertisers corre-
spondent, "Willix," says, in late letter:
Itwas last season generally admitted that some
of the prettiest girls in Washington were to be
seen at Willard's hotel-notably among them
being Miss Annie Albright, Miss Rosebud Alcorn,
daughter ofthe Mississippi Senator, Miss White

Miss Mary Cake, daughter of the proprietor Of
wilIard's hotel Now, two Of those girls have
went and gone" and got out of the matrimonial
market. Miss Albright had a name that de-
scribed her admirably, for she had bright eyes,
bright rosy cheeks, bright golden hair and there
was brightness about her smile and manner de-
eidedly pleasing; Among the young society
Hine, engineer in the navy, who aightway
succumbed to Miss Albright's destinations, and
their wedding was last week celebrated at
Hon. Charles Albright; The wedding is
said to have been a brilliant affair, and now

A NEAT-FITTING BOOT OR SHOE.

neat-ftting boot or shoe, conforming to the
shape Of the foot, insures comfort and removes a
cause for irritating the temper that ofttimes
destroys the amiability q person possesses 1t
also adds to the beauty of the foot when encased
with leather or kid covering, and shows ii off to
an advantage. The ungainly and ill-ftting shoe
invites comment exceedingly unpleasant to the
wearer. To avoid such unpleasantness men and
women should obtain the perfect;ftting boot or
